CHAPTER XXII
Lin Zhiyun cut quickly, and made a suit for Shen Junchuan in less than three days. She originally wanted to embroider on it, but Shen Junchuan said that she couldn't dress too ostentatious in the countryside, so she gave up. After the clothes were ready, Shen Junchuan went out directly.
Shen Junchuan went out to buy land this time, and Lin Zhiyun also followed with a basket, which contained some eggs, pork, freshly picked mushrooms and a few silk flower head ropes. Generally, it seems to have become a common rule to give gifts when asking people to do things. The courtesy is not heavy or tight, but it is good to let people see that you are sincere.
Village Chief Liu was not surprised to see Shen Junchuan coming, and said with a smile: "I knew that you two would come, that dilapidated house can't be lived for long, but you actually lived for more than a month." ”
Lin Zhiyun said with a smile: "There's no way, I was trying to save money before, but now I have saved some and come over to buy land." I don't know where else there is vacant land in this Huaihua Village? ”
Village Chief Liu said with a smile: "There are a lot of ownerless land in the village, there is a large piece of land next to your Shen family, there is also a piece on the side of Uncle Zhang's house, and there is also a piece near the back mountain. Li Er Mazi and Wang Tiehammer's houses are nearby, I suggest you take a look at the ones next to the Shen family and the ones next to the Hua family. Needless to say, the one on the edge of the Shen family is close to the home and easy to move around. The open space next to Uncle Zhang's house is very large, and Uncle Zhang's family is good, and with such a neighbor at home, he can usually feel at ease. ”
only listened to Village Chief Liu's description that Lin Zhiyun would choose the side of the Zhang family, but she had no way to judge whether what Village Chief Liu said was true or false, so she turned her head to look at the man beside her.
Shen Junchuan nodded and smiled: "Since that's the case, let's buy the land next to the Zhang family." Uncle Zhang is really a good person, and he taught me a lot of skills back then. ”
Lin Zhiyun was curious: "What craft?" ”
"The carpenter's craft, Uncle Zhang is a carpenter in our village, specializing in helping people make tables and chairs, and the dresser at home is also what he taught me to make."
Lin Zhiyun remembered that Shen Junchuan had told her that Carpenter Zhang in the village had always taken care of him, and he was a little happier in his heart.
"The open space next to Zhang's house is not small, do you want to buy it all, or just buy some of it. If you buy them all, I will make it cheaper for you, and twelve taels of silver will be enough. ”
When he heard twelve taels, Lin Zhiyun still felt that it was expensive, but when he saw the place drawn out by Village Chief Liu with his hand, he found that it was indeed not small, which was enough for them to have two houses, right? It's just that their family is thin, and they don't need such a large piece of land, right?
Lin Zhiyun thought about it and felt that it was good to have a bigger place, and she could reclaim a vegetable field specially, so that in the future, when the He family was idle, she would grow and pick vegetables under her nose, which would be a lot more reassuring.
"Then let's buy them all." Lin Zhiyun Road.
Village Chief Liu glanced at Lin Zhiyun in surprise, and asked again, "Then do you want to buy some more fields?" I think Chuanzi's legs are almost better, looking for work around is not stable enough after all, why don't you farm the land steadily? ”
Lin Zhiyun hurriedly said: "The fields are not needed, our family will not be able to go to the ground, now it is only right to build the house first, and we can't take out the extra money." ”
Village Chief Liu was even more strange, looked at Shen Junchuan and asked, "You usually listen to your daughter-in-law at home?" ”
Shen Junchuan said with a smile: "Most of the things are discussed, but the money spent on buying land and building a house is Yun Niang's money, so I naturally listen to Yun Niang." ”
Aunt Liu, the daughter-in-law of Village Chief Liu, said curiously: "Where did the daughter-in-law of Chuanzi get so much silver?" Are they all dowries from their mothers? ”
Shen Junchuan said with a smile: "My daughter-in-law's maiden dowry is all her old quilt and torn clothes, except for the loom and the box of books left by Mr. Lin, there is nothing decent. The silver was still obtained from the Xu family. ”
Aunt Liu was even more curious: "Why did the Xu family give you money?" ”
"I told the Xu family that because the two families were married, Lin Fuzi had been using his own money to supplement the Xu family's mother and son, but now that the Xu family is unwilling to get married, of course they have to return the money. My mother-in-law is a bookkeeper, and she gave the Xu family a total of more than 20 taels of silver in those years, and she remembers it very clearly, and the Xu family can't rely on it if she wants to. ”
Aunt Liu said indignantly: "Yes! It's time to slaughter them severely! In my opinion, where is enough for twenty taels of silver? Lin Fuzi also taught Xu Xiucai to read and write, so he had to add the bundle. The Xu family still owes the Lin family a lot of favors, so don't you have to count the favors? ”
Shen Junchuan's eyes lit up: "It's a pity that Aunt Liu wasn't there that day, otherwise I would really be able to slaughter them." Now it's just a debt to repay the money, we didn't make any money, and the Xu family didn't lose anything. ”
Shen Junchuan was joking, if he really wanted to kill Xu Bowen that day, the conditions he proposed would not have been completed so smoothly.
But Aunt Liu is really sorry, it would be nice if she was there that day, what a big play! She had also sighed that Lin Zhiyun had a good life before, thinking about why it wasn't her daughter who married Xu Xiucai. But now it seems that Xu Xiucai is not a good match, although they said to the outside world that they just sent the wrong bride, but judging from the dowry on both sides, how could it be the wrong one, Lin Qinghe and his family are clearly deliberate.
and the Xu family, it seems that they were forced to marry the wrong person, but didn't they look like they were going to be wrong all the time? Many people think that the Xu family did it on purpose, and they must have already told Lin Qinghe's family about it. Aunt Liu also thinks so.
Aunt Liu heard the rumors in the village in the past, thinking that Lin Zhiyun and Shen Junchuan were unbearable, but when she saw the real person today, she felt that there might be some misunderstanding about this matter. At least this young couple is very polite, and the gifts they give are very likable. Who doesn't love eggs and meat? And their family also has an unmarried daughter, and the Lin family sent several beautiful red-headed ropes! The silk flowers on the top had never been seen before.
The village chief and Aunt Liu are both good people, but Aunt Liu is a little talkative, so the day after Lin Zhiyun and his wife came back from the village chief's house, the whole Huaihua Village knew that she had asked for a sum of money from the Xu family. Within two days, everyone in Xiaohe Village also knew.
The Shen family regretted it very much when they found out, they knew that the Lin family could get the money back from the Xu family, how could they have to cheat the money first and then split up! It's all to blame Shen Junchuan for being too cunning!
Lin Xiuyue in Xiaohe Village also felt that Lin Zhiyun was cunning, thinking that Lin Zhiyun could obviously make more money, but she announced the previous things at this time, just to make people think that her money was all from the Xu family. If Lin Xiuyue had been before, she would have felt happy, because in this way, the Xu family would not have known that Lin Zhiyun was skillful. But now that the Xu family already knows that she is an impostor, Lin Zhiyun will only feel bored if she does it again.
But if you know, you know, the Xu family can't do anything to her for a while. Although she really doesn't know how to embroider, what kind of flowers are used by the Xu family now is not her money? She provided for the Xu family in terms of money, and of course the Xu family had to provide for her in other aspects, and she really wanted to do it before.
Lin Xiuyue has also removed the bandage on her hand now, after all, her injury has long been healed, and she will no longer have to pretend that she has a hand injury in the future, how good? Sure enough, bastards have a way to bastard, and I don't know if Lin Zhiyun will have a better life in the future if he marries such a bastard.
Lin Xiuyue didn't want Lin Zhiyun to have a better time at all.
The Shen family's side was a little more contradictory, they both hoped that Shen Junchuan would be better, and they also hoped that Shen Junchuan would be unhappy. If Shen Junchuan is not happy, they can only continue to live the old days, and they can only get light when Shen Junchuan is rich! But on the other hand, they think, why is it a big house that is developed every time?
After knowing that Lin Zhiyun was rich, the Qian family immediately came to the door.
Qian was very kind when he first came, and he didn't see that he was going to make trouble. After she came in, she also looked for the He family directly, and did not look for Lin Zhiyun and Shen Junchuan.
Lin Zhiyun didn't take it to heart when he saw that people didn't mention it, and only made clothes for Shen Junchuan with peace of mind. She thought that Shen Junchuan would soon return to school, and if she went to the county seat to study, her clothes would not be so plain, at least she could embroider some bamboo.
After Qian entered the door, he first cried to He: "Sister-in-law, you don't know, our days are really difficult, we are busy every day, and we can't get much money." In the past few days, my mother has been sick again, and we don't have the money to ask a doctor for my mother to take medicine, and we don't know how my mother ...... Woowoo woo ......"
Qian wanted to say that he didn't know if his mother could get through it, but he didn't dare to say it when he thought that Mrs. Shen was not sick at all now, lest people say that she cursed her mother-in-law after it spread.
He Shi said anxiously: "My mother is sick? How did you get sick? What disease do you have? Is it serious? Why don't you call in a doctor? ”
She asked a number of questions in a row, and Qian was very tired of listening to it, but her eyes lit up when she heard the last sentence. Of course, this bright light in her eyes could not be seen by the He family, so the Qian family lowered her head and pretended to wipe her tears.
"We also want to ask for a doctor, isn't there no money? Sister-in-law, can you borrow some? ”
He immediately wanted to escape with 200 Wen to her, after all, she had saved almost a tael of silver now, and she usually had no place to get money, so she should give her mother-in-law 200 Wen.
But her ears are soft, but Shen Junchuan will not indulge the Qian family.
Shen Junchuan immediately said: "Grandma is really sick?" It just so happens that I'm going to go to Dr. Bai's place in a while, and I'll take Dr. Bai to the old house to show my grandmother later. ”
Qian's face suddenly stiffened, Mrs. Shen was not sick at all, the main purpose of her coming here was money! Her sister-in-law is so easy to deceive, she decided to return with a full load, but Shen Junchuan came out to make trouble!
She knew that Shen Junchuan had a good relationship with Dr. Bai, and if the situation was not serious and Dr. Bai did not need to send medicine, Dr. Bai would not even charge money for the Shen family's treatment.
It's really cunning! This Shen Junchuan is simply an iron rooster who is not plucked, far worse than his own father!
If Shen Junchuan heard Qian's heart, he would probably applaud himself, after all, he didn't want to be like his own father at all. Although he loves his own father very much, he also knows that his father was killed by the group of unscrupulous people in the second room because he was too generous.
