Chapter 185: Refuting Rumors
Xu knew that the house could not be sold so quickly, the village chief could borrow money first and be grateful, and immediately knelt down again, the village chief stopped her and didn't let her kneel, so she got up and borrowed the village chief's paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and asked Ah Wei, who could write, to write an IOU to the village chief's family.
The village chief heard that the Xu family was going back to Stone Village to buy land to make a house, so he lent them five taels of silver, and the other party was so generous that the Xu family couldn't do it.
Xu didn't dare to ask for it, but the village chief said that it was not for them to borrow money, and if they borrowed it, they would have to pay it back, and he would not charge them interest, that is, he just changed hands, and he believed that Ah Wei's knowledge was good, and he would definitely have a great future in the future.
"Uncle Village Chief, no matter what, I want to thank you, just let me kowtow to you, and let me have peace of mind." Xu Shi took his son to kneel on the ground very sincerely, and there were two ringing heads.
After solving this problem, Xu couldn't delay the village chief for the festival anymore, so he let Ah Wei say a few auspicious words and left with his son, and on the way Xu asked his son what he said to the village chief? Ah Wei only said that he would tell the Xu family about it, and said that he would never return to Shajia Village in the future, and he didn't want this house.
Xu Shi did not doubt that he took his son on the way home, and as he walked, he remembered what happened to the Xu family, thinking that they said that his son was a wild boy who had a grandfather and no grandfather, and her heart hurt as if he had been cut by a knife.
Walking and walking, his eyes turned red, and he couldn't help but hug his son and cry out saying that he was sorry for his son, and that he was going to be bullied at a young age.
"What's wrong with you? Was it bullied by anyone? Pei Qinglin recognized Xu's mother and son and thought that she had been bullied by someone when she returned to the village, so she hurriedly asked.
Xu Shi suddenly came to his senses when he heard Pei Qingrin's voice, stopped crying, looked up at the front and continued to walk home with his son, Pei Qinglin followed them inexplicably, and when he was about to reach the entrance of the village, he naturally stopped and let Xu's mother and son go first.
Just before he left, the village chief of Shajia Village took him aside and said earnestly that there was gossip about the two of them in the village, and asked him to pay attention to avoid suspicion, Pei Qinglin is usually tall and unsmiling, and many women in the village regard him as a god of killing, and they have never said that they are close to anyone, and they don't know how the gossip in Shajia Village is caused.
With that gossip, Pei Qingrin also paid attention not to appear on the way back to the village with their mother and son, for fear of making gossip more and more.
It wasn't until Xu returned to his house that Pei Qinglin returned to the village, and saw Ah Wei standing on the side of the road, and when he walked over, he saw that the usually grinning boy had red eyes, Pei Qinglin was shocked and asked about the words of Xu's mother's family.
The most invisible weapon to kill people is language, especially when it was said by his biological parents, Pei Qingrin helplessly comforted Ah Wei and asked him not to go to his grandmother's house in the future.
Ah Wei never gossiped about him and his mother, thinking that it would be better to let his mother and aunt talk, and after he explained it to Pei Qingrin, he felt much better and went home, and when he returned home, Xu was counting his private money in the house.
Xu Shi calculated that the deposit was only one hundred taels so far, and it was estimated that she could buy a slightly larger place, so she went to the village chief's house to find the village chief with the silver.
"Xu, you came to Stone Village alone with your child, I know your difficulties, but now that the places in Stone Village have been used, there is no good place to sell to you." The village chief was embarrassed.
Stone Village is now rising, and the surrounding people have come to Stone Village to settle down in order to get the resources of Stone Village, which has led to fewer and fewer places in the already small village.
"Village chief, I think it's good by the river, it's better to sell a piece of land over there to me, it doesn't need to be big, it's enough for our mother and son to live." Xu thought for a long time and found that there was only a place on the other side of the river.
The damp riverbank was not suitable for habitation, so no one bought the land, and the Xu family also proposed it in desperation, which was opposed by everyone, including his son.
"Mother, the river is damp, the sand is not suitable for living at all, if you make a house and live there for a long time, don't want this knee!" Ah Wei is not very old but loves to read, so he naturally knows that people can't live in a damp place for a long time.
After this proposal was rejected, then the Xu family really couldn't find a place, and they were a little depressed in their hearts, until the village chief said that if the Pei family or any family in the village was willing to give them some land, it would solve the problem.
Xu immediately decided to go home and ask Yu Shu, she was a big landowner, and it seemed that there were many places that belonged to hers. It would be nice if you could really sell a place.
The mother and son rushed back to the house again, Ah Wei went to the study to read, Xu went to find Yu Shu, at this time Yu Shu was just preparing to cook in the stove room, and saw Xu come over and warmly greet her to sit.
Yu Shu doesn't know how to comb her hair, so Xu helps to comb her hair every day, and the two are nominally master and servant, but Yu Shu has long regarded each other as good sisters in her heart.
"Yu Shu, you see that the children have grown up, and your family is becoming more and more lively, I think that now I have saved some money to buy land and make a house, and in the future, my Ah Wei will grow up and start a family, and I can't always rely on the Pei family." Xu Shi looked at Yu Shu carefully, for fear that she would be unhappy.
Yu Shu also agreed, Xiaobao is only seven years old this year, but Ah Wei is older than Xiaobao, he is already ten years old, and he will be a weak champion in two years.
"I like Stone Village and I don't want to leave Stone Village, I went back to Shajia Village today and handed over the original house to the village chief uncle to sell or rent, and I wanted to come back to buy a place when I got some money, but the village chief said that there was no place in the village to sell to me." Xu said.
She wasn't sure if Yu Shu was willing to sell the place she bought for her own use, so she thought that if she couldn't do it, she went to the pile of stones outside the village.
"Sister-in-law, I have a lot of space in my hands, mostly paddy fields, which naturally can't be given, but the place behind my house was bought by our family at the beginning, but it has not been used, and then you and the tiger sister-in-law's family used a little bit to make a greenhouse, and now the sister-in-law can use it for you if you want to use it, but that place is not very big, it may not be as big as the tiger sister-in-law's house." Yu Shu heard what Xu's meant, most of the paddy fields she bought under her name were paddy fields, and she couldn't give her paddy fields to do, unless... In the future, he took on the responsibility of helping her take care of the farmland.
