Chen Afu can understand Chen Ming's approach, but he does not agree. He was kind-hearted, wanting to fulfill Mrs. Chen's son's wish to live a good life, thanking Chen Ye for his help at the beginning, but not wanting to upset the Wang family. But this is easy to encourage some people's greed and make them look forward to Shu.

Hu Shi didn't say anything, he has always been greedy. But Mrs. Chen and Chen Ye didn't use their brothers' money so smoothly, not only because Chen Ming, Chen Shi, and Chen Afu were rich, but also because these families were too happy to give money before, which caused their mentality to change.

Mrs. Chen is Chen Ming's mother-in-law, and he must provide for her. But the big house can't continue to be used to it like this in the future, and it will get used to problems.

The drama of Shengmien's fight against Mi Hatred should not happen to these brothers.

Moreover, often hiding large sums of money in private houses will affect the relationship between husband and wife. Chen Afu said with a smile, "Dad, the big house is now imported again, and the uncle is also busy." Why don't you take my milk to Luyuan to enjoy the blessings?"

Chen Ming sighed, "Why don't you want to? I have mentioned it many times, let her live with me, but your grandmother will not come, saying that you are used to living with your uncle." ”

Wang whispered, "Mother-in-law is not only used to living with the uncle, but also because she lives in the big house, the head of the family and the third uncle will be filial to the big house together......"

Chen Ming's face sank a little, and he said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?" Feeling that his attitude was not good, he slowed down and said, "It's not easy for my mother to pull a few of our brothers, so let's follow her old man's thoughts." “

Chen Afu smiled, "Dad, it's not wrong for you to follow my milk." However, we all know the character of Hu's kind of person, if she asks for a needle today, she will ask for a thread tomorrow, and if she goes on like this, a house will not be able to fill her desires......"

Chen Ming blushed, knowing that Chen Afu guessed that he had saved money to buy a house for the big house, and also knew that the Hu family in her mouth was not just referring to the Hu family. Busy said, "Dad won't do it next time, this is the most ......"

Look at Wang, the last few words were swallowed by him.

Chen Afu felt that the point was almost over, and hoped that he could think about it, so he changed the topic. said, "Dad and mother live here with me, the house is big, I will let people clean up a yard and come out." With a red face, he explained the matter of Ah Lu moving out of the house.

At the end, he said, "I just came to the mansion before, and I didn't know many things, which made Ah Lu feel wronged. The house has now been cleaned up, and the slaves who bully the master have been kicked out, and those who are not honest have also been honest, and no one dares to do those things anymore. ”

In the past two months, Chen Afu has cleaned up some subordinates, and the house has been completely straightened out.

When the Wang family heard about it, they wanted to live in the house, close to their daughter, and take care of it themselves. also said that she was not worried about Chen Afu and would live until she gave birth to a child and then returned to the countryside.

Chen Afu was very happy to hear this.

But Chen Ming didn't want to trouble his daughter, so he shook his head and said, "No." Countrymen like to be lively, and it is rare for us brothers to get together, but we still want to live together and have fun. Your mother will come to accompany you during the day and go back at night. ”

Chen Afu had no choice but to give up.

Dabao went to school, and Ah Lu was also picked up.

Dabao happily threw himself into Wang's arms and said coquettishly, "Grandma, why did you come to see me now? ”

Wang happily hugged him and kissed him twice, and said with a smile, "Grandma came to your third grandfather's house at noon, and after dinner, she came to see her grandson." ”

They played until the evening, and the family of three returned to Chen Shi's house.

After breakfast the next day, Wang and Ah Lu took a carriage to the General's Mansion to accompany their daughter. Chen Shi took a day off and drove the ox cart to take Chen Ming, Mrs. Chen, Chen Ye and Hu Shi to Yahang to see the house.

On the way, Mrs. Chen and Chen Ye both proposed that it would be best to buy both yards on Houbei Street, close to Chen Shi's house, and several houses would be convenient to come and go.

Chen Shi didn't want his eldest brother's house to be too close to his home, because his house was also close to the restaurant. If the Hu family goes to the restaurant to eat every day, it is not good not to collect money, and it is not good to collect money, it is terrible. Or perhaps, if he goes to his house for dinner if he has nothing to do, his daughter-in-law will be unhappy.

Because he gave a lot of silver to the big house during the Chinese New Year, and this year he had to give his daughter a dowry, and he borrowed the money from his father-in-law's family and did not pay it back. Zhang cried for several days and told her mother's family about it, but her father-in-law and mother-in-law were very unhappy with him, and they beat him a lot.

He felt that it was enough to repay his eldest brother's affection, and he still had to take care of his own family more in the future.

Chen Shi smiled and said, "The house near my house is more expensive, and the eldest brother only has a hundred taels of silver, so it is not good to buy a satisfactory house there." If it's too small and old, it's not cost-effective. It's best to buy it in the west, where the house is not too expensive, and it is close to the west gate, so it is convenient to go back to the countryside. ”

Chen Ye was very regretful. They also made a lot of money selling "Dingzhou melons," "Dingzhou wheat," and "Dingzhou corn" this year, but he bought the more than 80 taels of silver into fields. He felt that the second brother became a big landlord and a big boss, and the third brother became a big boss, so he should at least move closer to the big landlord. Therefore, he wants to keep buying land, these are not enough, he has to buy more land.

Because the money was spent on buying land, and he had to save a dowry for Aju, the family's life was relatively economical. Not to mention that there is no surplus silver to supplement the purchase of a house, and I rarely even buy meat. The old lady was greedy, so she went to the second room to eat, and Chen Ming occasionally bought some meat to come home.

Then he said, "Then buy it in the west, I want to buy a new and larger courtyard house, I don't want to spend more money on decoration, and I will live in the city when the farm is idle in the future." Dahu is not good at schoolwork, and when he grows up, he will rely on you uncles and brothers and sisters to find him a good errand in the city, and he will also have a house to live in. ”

Hu Shi wants to live in Houbei Street, and he can go to the restaurant to have a look if he has nothing to do, but he doesn't want to live in an old and small house, so he can't do it.

When they arrived at the Ya Shop, the Ya Man listened to their conditions and said that he had some houses to their liking, and led them to see each other. I went to the west first, and there is a courtyard on the back west street that is not bad, a courtyard house, a blue brick house, and it is also so big, and there are seventy percent new.

It's just that the environment here is not very good, the lanes are cramped, and many people's houses are very dilapidated, most of them are rental houses, and several families live in a yard.

This is compared with Chen Shi's yard, but it is far behind. It's not the yard itself, it's the environment that's too different. At first glance, it was a place where wealthy people lived, but it was mostly inhabited by poor people.

On this courtyard, the price was also shouted at one hundred and thirty taels of silver, and after talking about the price for half a day, the tooth man let go of one hundred and ten taels.

Chen Yexin said that it would cost ten taels to buy a yard, and it would take at least ten taels of silver to repair and buy furniture. He asked if he could buy it for ninety taels, but he didn't have much money.

The tooth man shook his head and said, "Big brother, you can go elsewhere to see, such a good small courtyard, one hundred and ten taels of silver is the cheapest." ”

Chen Ye was disgusted with the high price, and he was not satisfied with this location, so he said that he would consider it again.
