140 Catcher next door
Su A-Niang's temperament is a little soft, she looked at this big group of people, and didn't dare to really tear her face with them, she was a weak woman, if she really fought, she would definitely only be beaten, she thought about it, or went home with the vegetables first, first went home and asked the second girl what the situation was, if she was really cheated, then ask the second brother for help.
Su A-Niang came home with a calm face.
As soon as Su Yu opened the door, she saw Su A-Niang's black face, she was a little surprised, Su A-Niang rarely had a black face, could it be that she was bullied when she was shopping for vegetables?
Su Yu asked: Mother, what's wrong with you?
Su A-Niang asked Su Yu: Didn't our family rent a shop, I went around just now, why did the shop become an adult's family?
Su Aniang said angrily: Didn't you rent it for a year, why is it gone for no reason.
Su Yu was a little weak-hearted, uh, it seems that she still said that she was a step late.
Su Yu helped Su A-Niang carry the dishes in her hand, and said: "Mother, the shop has been transferred out, and the back house has sunken, and it is uninhabitable, so the shopkeeper let us return and return the silver." The last sentence is the point.
When Su A-Niang heard this, her heart was relieved, and even her shoulders were much lighter, she said: When did it happen, why didn't you tell me earlier, you scared me in vain, and thought they were bullying us.
After Su A-Niang finished speaking, she asked again: How much silver did you give us, and how much silver did we pay when we rented the shop? This has to be asked.
Su Yu suddenly had a headache, she remembered that the eldest brother didn't tell her mother the truth, uh, she didn't tell the truth either, she said that this shop was rented at the time, damn it, how can you fulfill this lie now?
Su Yu decided not to say anything, she said directly: Mother, I gave a hundred taels of silver. The process is omitted, and the result is done, if Su A-Niang asks, she will say it again.
One, one hundred taels? Su A-Niang was so shocked that she even stammered.
Su Yu smiled: Yes, I also added the money for us to repair the shop, mother, I will give you the money ticket when I enter the house, it is still raining, what if I take it out and fall to the ground?
When Su A-Niang heard this, she pulled Su Yu into the house, and she forgot to ask what the price of the shop was, she only remembered that the one hundred taels was not a small amount, but she had to keep it well.
Su A-Niang deliberately pulled Su Yu into the West House, because there were still a group of children in the East House, Su Yu took out the one hundred taels of silver tickets from her arms, and then handed them to Su A-Niang.
When Su A-Niang took the silver ticket, her hands were shaking, this, this is really a hundred taels of silver tickets!
Seeing Su A's affection, Lord Su was excited, and said: Mother, should we rent a house in the town or buy a house? When will this rain fall, mother, what do you say?
When Su A-Niang heard this, she calmed down a little, how expensive is it to buy a house? She was a little reluctant in her heart.
Su A-Niang asked Su Yu tangledly: Erniu, do you know what the market for renting a house in this town is?
Su Yu shook his head and said: I didn't ask, but didn't Xiaobao have to go to school, now that we have the silver in our hands, if we buy a house in the town, it will be convenient for him to go to the school in the future, and ah, it will not lose money if you buy a house, you see, if you don't want it in the future, maybe we will make some money by selling it.
Su Yu said as she spoke, and suddenly thought of the word "flipping house", she shook her head, don't think so much if you don't have money in your hand.
Su A-Niang was moved by what Su Yu said, especially the one hundred taels of silver in her hand, which was paid by the store that rented the shop before!
She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, let's buy a house!"
Su Yu asked again: Do you buy a house alone or buy a house with a shop?
Su Aniang said: Let's go to the tooth shop to have a look, and then we will decide whether to buy a shop or a house, but I don't know what the price is? Su A-Niang secretly thought, one hundred taels should be enough.
Su Yudao: Okay, let's go out after dinner, and then it's time to find a tooth shop to take a look.
As she was talking, Su Da Niu pushed the door and came in, mother, second girl, the noodles are ready, go eat noodles. You can't put the noodles on, otherwise it will become batter, and it will be unpalatable.
Su Yudao: Okay, I'll go, big sister, did you call those boys?
Su Daniu smiled: I was about to call, by the way, what are you muttering with your mother in the house, talking about it for a long time.
Su Yudao: It's not about the silver yet, my mother said, let's go to Yaxing later.
When Su Daniu heard this, she said happily: Okay, I'll go with me to have a look, I haven't seen Yaxing. Now that she has her family by her side, she is not afraid.
Su Daniu was very happy, she was only told that she bought a shop last time, but this time she participated in person, how could it be the same.
In the kitchen, six bowls of noodles were served, and they were already placed on the stove, Su Yu took two bowls to the East House, when she went, she found that Xiaobao was teaching Gao Ping to read and write, Xiaobao didn't recognize all the words himself, and he actually taught others to read and write, Su Yu really laughed for a while.
Su Yu put the noodles on the table and said, "Come, eat the noodles, eat and play again."
Xiaobao raised his head and said seriously: Second sister, we are not playing, we are recognizing.
Su Yu smiled: Okay, okay, admit it after eating.
Because there were only two bowls, which was not enough, Su Yu went back to the kitchen and brought them another bowl, and after that, Su Yu took her share to the West House and ate with Su A-Niang and Su Daniu, and they discussed buying a shop while eating.
She just sat down, and listened to Su Daniu say: There is not enough firewood, and it is not like the village where you can go to the mountains to cut firewood, if we have our own house in the town, then the monthly firewood money is a lot of expenses.
Su Yudao: This is also a helpless thing, you can't skip meals and drink water.
Su Daniu sighed and said: Yes, this wealth still has to be spent, I just feel a little sorry for this unjust money, you say, if we are in the village, there is definitely no need to buy firewood.
Su Yu remembered one thing again: there is a special person pouring night incense on the East Street every morning, which is also to collect money, and there are people who don't have a well, and they also have to buy water to drink every day.
What!
Then we can find a house with a well, even if there is no well, we have to dig a well to come out, besides, is there no thatched house, why do you still collect night incense?
Su Yu said: There are no crops here, so even if there are thatched houses, they will be full very quickly, especially those big households, naturally there are night incense harvesters.
Su A-Niang knocked the chopsticks on the table and stopped them: Eat noodles first, and then talk about it when you finish eating.
Su Yu and Su Dayu secretly glanced at each other, and then picked up the bowl and began to eat.
Su A-Niang thought while eating, the cost of the town is large, you can't sit and eat empty, so it seems that it is affordable to buy a shop with a back house, although it is a little expensive, but there is a livelihood, no matter how bad, you can rent it out when the time comes, and it is the same.
After eating, Su A-Niang took Su Da Niu and Su Erniu out, Gao Ping Gaole and Xiao Bao stayed here, of course, Su A-Niang did not forget to remind them to bolt the door, she heard that there were abductors in this town, and the sons of the prefect before were abducted, and she had to guard against it.
She even wanted to keep Su Daniu, but Su Daniu refused, as for Su Yu, she felt that the second girl had a good head, but she helped her come up with ideas, so she definitely wanted to bring it.
This time, Su Yu did not take Su A-Niang to find Huang Ya Po, but went to another tooth shop, I heard that there is a Ya Po surnamed Liu who has a good reputation, and the shop in his hand is also very good, so Su Yu took Su A-Niang to find it.
Su Yu entered the tooth door and asked, "Is Liu Yapo here?"
A mother-in-law of about fifty years old walked out, and she said happily: I am, what is the little girl looking for me?
When Su Yu heard this, she turned her head and said to Su Aniang at the door: Mother, come in, Liu Yapo is here.
Su A-Niang came in with Su Da Niu, Liu Yapo looked at Su A-Niang, this woman was dressed very plainly, it was impossible for her to buy a small maid ring, and it didn't look like she was here to buy a house, so it should be renting.
Liu Yapo knew it in her heart.
Su A-Niang opened her mouth and asked: Do you have a shop here?
Liu Yapo smiled: Naturally, there are, you want more shops, East Street, West Street, or Central Street, or shops in small alleys?
Are there shops in the alleys? Su Yu was a little surprised.
Su A-Niang asked again: What is the price?
Liu Yapo said with a smile: It depends on the size, the most expensive on Central Street, and then on East Street, the shops on West Street are a little worse than the shops in the alley, but there are many people on West Street, although there are more civilians, but the business is not bad.
Su Yu asked: Which side is safer?
Liu Yapo said: According to me, the place where the catchers live must be the safest, even on Shangdong Street is not as good as the place where the catchers live, but ah, the catchers are not rich, they live in the alleys in the south of the city, there are not many shops there, and there are more houses.
Su Yu frowned: Isn't there a shop in the alley you said over there?
Liu Yapo said: Little, very little, there is a place, but ah, it is to be sold, and it is not rented, so ah, it is a little difficult.
Su A-Niang lost her voice and said: We are here to buy a shop, not to rent a shop.
Liu Yapo was surprised: You are here to buy a shop? No, this family of three is all women, and it doesn't look like a rich family, can afford a shop?
Liu Yapo hurriedly said: The shop costs at least eighty taels, can you afford it? It's not that she looks down on Su Yu's family, it's really that the seller said that there is a fixed price, and there is no counteroffer. That's a full eighty taels, can the family in front of them really afford it?
Liu Yapo was suspicious in her heart, but as soon as her words came out, she knew that her mouth was in trouble, and she quickly remedied: I didn't mean that, the seller bit eighty taels and said that he would not bargain, I was afraid that when you saw the seller's price increase, he would be unhappy.
Su Yudao: As long as the house is good, the price is not a problem. After she finished speaking, she looked at Su Aniang: Mother, what do you say?
Su A-Niang nodded slowly.
When Liu Yapo heard this, she smiled and said: Okay, I'll go get the key, and I'll take you to have a look, if you like it, I'll contact the seller again.
Su Yu nodded and said, "Okay."
After Liu Yapo took the key, she took Su Aniang and them to the eighty taels shop in her clothes, Su Daniu pulled Su Zhu's clothes, and whispered: Let's see a few more houses, don't settle down all at once.
Su A-Niang also heard it, and she nodded secretly.
Su Yu said: If you really like it, then settle down, I think safety is the most important, you think, this heavy rain has not stopped, there will definitely be waterlogging, if there is an influx of displaced people, no matter how prosperous the place is, it is not as safe as the area around the house.
Refugee.
As soon as these two words came out, except for Su Aniang, even Liu Yapo was frightened, but she began to beat the drum in her heart.
Su Yu looked at them with a solemn face, and said with a smile: I'm just guessing, maybe the rain will stop tomorrow, I like to think about the worst, don't take it to heart.
That's what I said, but who can't help but take it to heart.
Su Yu's words strengthened Su A-Niang's decision to buy a safe house, even if it was not a shop, she admitted it, and she had to get through this winter.
Liu Yapo took them to see the half-shopped and half-house residence, and Su Yu was surprised to find that Zhang Zhutou lived next door to the house, with Zhang Zhutou on the left and Master Cheng's house on the right, this is really a good place!
When Su Yu asked, he found out that this was a former catcher, but the catcher was transferred to the state capital, so the house was sold, in fact, it was mainly a residence, as for the shop that Liu Yapo said, it was actually a hut built next to the house, and the land of the house was connected to the land of the house, so it was said that it was a shop in the alley.
It's a bit of a pitfall.
Liu Yapo led Su A-Niang to see the house, this is a two-way house, seventy percent new, enough to live, even if the Zhang family comes in, it is enough to live, the house is also planted with peach trees and jujube trees, and apricot trees, anyway, the yard is big enough, and it is comfortable to look at.
Su A-Niang is very satisfied.
Su Yu and Su Daniu also think that this house is good, but Su Daniu has some opinions about the shop in front of her: Liu Yapo, how can it be called a shop in front, it's too small, why do you sell things?
Liu Yapo smiled and said: That's no way, this kind of place is like this, it's good to be able to build a small shop, by the way, what do you think of this place?
Su A-Niang was a little hesitant, she could afford eighty taels, but she would definitely be reluctant to take it out at once.
Su Yu said simply: Okay, we want it here, where is the seller, let's go to the yamen to transfer the account. What makes Su Yu feel good is that the seller moved out early, and cleaned the house cleanly, and now it's raining, and none of the houses are leaking, which is quite good.
There is also the kitchen, firewood room, livestock room, all of them, chicken cages, pigsty and so on, there is a vegetable field in the yard, you can also grow vegetables, I am really satisfied! Of course, compared with a pure house, this house must be a little more expensive, so I built the small shed in front of it, which is still a little expensive.
When Su Daniu heard Su Yu's words, she said: Let's decide? Don't look at the others anymore?
Su Yu smiled: Let's do it here, it's raining heavily, and I'm too lazy to look at it anymore, mother, don't hesitate, I heard that there is a school here, and it's not easy to send Xiaobao to the school when the time comes.
After Su Yu finished speaking, he added: When the eldest brother gets married, you can let them live in the second room, and we will live in the first room, what do you say? How good, and I don't have to repair the house, I bought a few broken houses, and I was irritable. Although the broken house is either cheap or profitable, I still feel a little unhappy.
Su A-Niang gritted her teeth and agreed: Okay, Liu Yapo, the main family is at home, let's go to the yamen to transfer the account, I can take the silver ticket.
When Liu Yapo heard this, she opened her eyes and smiled: Okay, okay, let's go to the Yamen, that house is a catcher, saying that the house is entrusted to the head catcher, let's go directly to the Yamen to find the head catcher.
After Su A-Niang made up her mind to buy it, her mood was a little complicated.
Liu Yapo said again: This house is good, the safest, you are lucky.
Su Yu said with a smile: No one bought this house before, I am afraid that in addition to the high price, it is because it is near Zhang Zhutou's house, and the people of Pingtou avoid the people of the Yamen, so they refuse to live here.
Liu Yapo laughed dryly: Maybe. In fact, Su Yu really said it, most people lived next door as soon as they heard about the head catch, and they were scared away at that time.
It's not too far from the yamen, just two streets away, and Su Yu is more and more satisfied.
Liu Yapo took Su Yu and the three of them to find Zhang Zhutou, Zhang Zhutou happened to be in the yamen, Liu Yapo breathed a sigh of relief, she said to Zhang Zhutou with a smile: Lord Zhutou, these people are going to buy the house of the original Zhukuai family, you see......
Zhang Zhutou saw Su A-Niang and the others at a glance, Su A-Niang and Su Da Niu He didn't recognize it, but he recognized Su Yu, he smiled and said hello to Su Yu: Su Yatou, it turned out that your family bought the house.
Su Yu said generously: Yes, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you are getting more and more energetic.
When Zhang Zhutou heard this, he also felt that he was a lot taller and more powerful, and he hahad: The case of the trafficker can be regarded as having some money, just waiting to arrest people, as soon as this mood is good, people will naturally be in good spirits.
When Su Yu heard Zhang Zhutou say this, she knew that the matter of the trafficker must be broken, otherwise Zhang Zhutou would not have said this to her, an outsider.
Su Yu asked with a smile: Uncle Zhang, can the transfer be done today?
When Zhang Zhutou heard this, he smiled and said: It's very early now, naturally it can be done, besides, we still have some friendship, you can count this matter. Su Yu, this girl, he knows, she is a good person, since she can raise such a little girl, then this woman's family is definitely not a bad family, because she is a neighbor, and she is very cautious in buying and selling houses.
Seeing that Su Yu was familiar with Zhang Zhutou, Liu Yapo couldn't help but glance at Master Su in her heart, this little girl is very lively, and when she grows up, she will definitely be a virtuous helper.
Liu Yapo also greeted him and said with a smile: Yes, if an adult comes out, it can naturally be done.
The transfer was done quickly, Su A-Niang gave eighty taels of solutions, and the house was transferred to her name, Su Yu introduced to Zhang Zhutou: This is my mother, this is my eldest sister.
Zhang Zhutou nodded and said: From then on, we will be neighbors.
Su A-Niang nodded lightly and said: Yes, I will trouble you in the future, it may be a little noisy in the past few days of moving, I hope you don't mind.
Su A-Niang used to be a little afraid of catching heads, catching fast, and so on, but since Second Uncle Zhang became a fast catcher, Su A-Niang inexplicably has a sense of closeness to the industry, and she is not afraid.
Zhang Zhutou still has an errand, Su Yu left after they finished the house, before leaving, Su Dayu looked left and right for a while, she asked Su Yu in a low voice: What about the second uncle, didn't we see it?
Zhang Zhutou's ears were smart, and he turned around and said: Your second uncle went on an errand.
Su Dayu hurriedly lowered her head and followed Su Yu's side closely.
Su Yu turned his head and said to Zhang Zhutou: So that's the case, I said why didn't I see my second uncle, Uncle Zhang, thank you for taking care of my second uncle all the time.
Zhang Zhutou said: He did a good job, where do you need me to take care of it. As he spoke, Zhang Zhutou laughed, he was indeed quite satisfied with Zhang Datian.
Su Yu waved his hand to Zhang Zhutou, and then left with the family.
As soon as she came out of the yamen, Liu Yapo looked at Su Yu with a smile: You little girl is really bold, she is not even afraid of catching heads in our county, and she will have a future in the future.
Su Yu pursed her lips and smiled.
Liu Yapo said to Su Aniang: The key and the title deed are all given to you, but if you take it, I won't give it to you.
Su A-Niang smiled: Then you go slowly.
Liu Yapo smiled and left, this house was sold, the house of eighty taels was gone, and she got a lot of commissions, how many taels.
Su Yu and the others also walked slowly, and on the way, Su Daniu asked Su Aniang: Mother, when are we moving?
Su A-Niang nodded her nose and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we have to calculate the auspicious day, and then move in after the auspicious day."
Su Yu muttered: Mother, it's raining these days, what auspicious days are there, if there is no auspicious day, we won't move? If we wait for Grandma and them to come, will we be able to live in that house? Yesterday was a little crowded.,I don't think it's better to hit the day than to choose a day.,Let's move today.,Anyway, you don't bring much to it.。
Su Daniu said: That's it, let's move today.
Su A-Niang shook her head resolutely: No! It must be an auspicious day to move.
Su Yuti said: Or, let's calculate it now?
Su A-Niang agreed, and then the three of them went to find Mr. Feng Shui together, but they didn't find it after turning around.
Su Daniu said: It's raining, and Mr. Feng Shui won't come out.
At this moment, someone passed by and said: Let's go to the City God Temple to worship, I heard that the spirit is very good, and the old monk there will still look at it.
When Su A-Niang heard this, her eyes lit up: Let's go to the City God Temple to calculate.
Su Daniu said happily: Okay, good!
Su Yu didn't want to go anymore, she thought about it and said: Mother, you guys go, I'll go to the restaurant and ask if anyone wants hare meat.
When Su A-Niang heard this, she didn't object, she advised: If you ask, go home quickly, there are only three children left in the family, and it is always a little bad.
Su Yuxiao: Got it.
After speaking, the three of them divided into two ways, Su Aniang and Su Daniu went to the City God Temple, Su Yu went to the restaurant, on the way, she remembered that the white vinegar that she had told Fang Ce was not made, and even the previous grape vinegar was gone, alas, she sighed, she said in her heart, when she moved to a new house, she would remake it, otherwise, she would have to move around again.
Su Yu went to the restaurant.
When she arrived at the restaurant, she saw that a person was kicked out by the guy in the restaurant, and the thing in the person's hand almost fell to the ground, and the guy said impatiently: Our shopkeeper said that you don't want this thing, don't you understand?
The man hurriedly got up and begged: Don't look at this thing as if it looks like blood inside, it can really be eaten, my family has eaten it.
The guy was even more impatient: Don't tell me this, it's useless to tell me, you go to our owner and say, okay, okay, go away, don't get in the way of our business.
Su Yu looked at the man, only to find that the thing in the man's hand turned out to be tomatoes.
The man didn't give up, he was about to rush to the restaurant with the tomatoes, but the shopkeeper of the restaurant threw him out again, this time, the tone of the restaurant guy was even more fierce: Our shopkeeper said, your thing is sweet, how can you cook! Don't try to sell it to us, you go find another restaurant, we don't accept it, if you don't accept it, you won't accept it!
The man rubbed his torn hands, his head hung down, his tomatoes had broken several times, the red and bright, like human blood, the people around saw it, and they all avoided it.
He also frightened a customer who came out of the restaurant, he didn't know that it was a tomato, he pointed to the ground and shouted to the guy in the store: Why is there blood outside your restaurant?
The guy at the shop hurriedly ran out, and when he saw that the man hadn't left, he looked gloomy, but he still smiled and said to the guest: You don't know, this is not blood, it's food, and lo and behold, it's what this person has in his hand.
The guest wasn't convinced.
Seeing this, the dejected man's eyes lit up, and he hurried over and handed over the tomatoes: Or, will you pay for it?
The guest hurriedly pushed the tomatoes away from the man's hand: No, no, goodbye.
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
At this time, Su Yucai stepped forward, and she looked at the man with a smile: Can you give me a taste?
