Du Jincheng is the eldest grandson of the eldest house, and after the teaching of Du Chensheng and Du Yunyi, the two generations of account keepers, he is also very successful in his heart.

He said in a low voice: "Mother, I think it's better to call my father in and tell him about the matter, at least let him have a plan in his heart." Even if my grandfather asks for money, he will not say that the second uncle owes gambling debts, he knows that we will not use the money to fill the hole for the second uncle, and will find other excuses. If my father didn't check it for a while, maybe he would be relieved, and it would be bad to regret it when the time came, and my grandfather would complain if he didn't. ”

"yes, I see."

Zhang's family is in business, and he is very shrewd. She looked down and thought for a while, then listened to the conversation outside, and then had a plan in her heart.

She stood up, waved her hands at her two sons, motioned for them not to come with them, and walked out with her skirt in hand.

Zhang's status in the Du family was different, she sat next to everyone and listened to everyone's conversation, and several men didn't care, and continued to talk about their topic.

Zhang's didn't come to listen to the chat, she found a gap in the conversation, interjected and smiled: "Dad, Brother Cheng is also seventeen years old after the New Year, it's time to get married, and his father-in-law's family also has such a meaning." Yun Yi and I would like to ask your old opinion to see when it is better to get married. ”

When Du Chensheng heard this, he was very happy and said, "If you don't mention this, I will tell you too." Start a family first and then start a business, although Brother Cheng is still studying, but when the age comes, let's get married. As for the time, you can discuss it with Brother Cheng's family, I have no opinion. ”

"Dad and Mom are always so reasonable." Zhang put on a high hat for Du Chensheng, glanced at Du Yunyi, and said, "Once Brother Cheng gets married, the two brothers will inevitably not be able to live in the same house." The house in the city, as you know, is only three small rooms, we live in one, Brother Cheng and his brothers live in one, Sister Yun lives in one, and there is no more. Sister Yun'er's family affairs have not been booked yet, and this house can't be vacated, so Brother Cheng can't live in it when he gets married, and he can't live in it when he has children in the future. ”

Hearing the meaning of this, Du Chensheng's face changed.

The house where the small big house lives now is still bought by Du Chensheng when Du Yunyi got married.

The Zhang family is also a wealthy family in the city, with two shops at home, doing a pastry business and a silk business. Du Yunyi married the Zhang family, the Zhang family was not very happy back then, and they disliked the Du family's poor background. Helplessly, Zhang's took a fancy to Du Yunyi's skin and wanted to marry.

The old lady of the Zhang family was still alive back then, so he proposed that the Zhang family did not come to the village to serve her in-laws, but lived in the city, and the Du family needed to buy a house in the city.

At that time, Du Yuncheng was still studying, and the cost was not small, and the family did not have enough money. For this marriage, Du Chensheng gritted his teeth, and finally borrowed some foreign debts and spent one hundred and thirty taels of silver to buy a small mansion, which is the one where Du Yunyi's family lives now.

For this reason, the family tightened their belts for several years before paying off this foreign debt.

The house was indeed not big, with only three rooms and a narrow yard. It's just a good location, facing the main street, easy to get in and out.

"And how are you doing?" Du Chensheng asked.

Zhang smiled: "The county has now opened Caoyun, and it is a lot more lively all of a sudden, and the prices of land and houses are rising." Dad, do you think we should take advantage of the current price increase in the house, sell the house in time, and then go to a remote place to change to a bigger house? ”

Du Chensheng's face was not very good-looking.

Although he didn't go to the county much in recent years, he finally worked as a bookkeeper in the city for more than 20 years, and there were a few old friends in the city who often came and went. He still knows the situation in the city.

Last year, in order to transport grain and tea from the south to the north, the court specially dug a canal, and Lishui County was fortunate to be in the central and southern section of the canal. Ships from the north and south passed through here, and there were always those who came up to replenish supplies, and the county prospered because of it. Not only has the price of the land near the wharf increased, but the houses and shops on the street in the city have risen a lot.

The house that Du Chensheng bought in the city at the beginning, although it was not completely on the street, it was also on the street. The price of houses in the whole county is rising, and that house is no exception.

But Du Chensheng knows that Lishui County is not big, and the distance between the remote place and the place facing the street is not far, and the difference in housing prices is not very big. On top of that, there is a tax to pay when buying and selling a house, so a house facing the street cannot be exchanged for a large house in the middle of nowhere.

If you want to change houses, you will have to make up the difference.

Du Yunnian has not been in vain when he goes to the city every day in the past few years, and he has been in contact with those people who are of three religions and nine ranks, and he knows more or less about the situation in the city. Du Chensheng thought of this, and he also thought of it.

He asked Du Yunyi: "Big brother, have you saved a lot of money over the years?" ”

When he said this, he had the flavor of stirring up trouble.

In order to give less money to the family, Du Yunyi often cried poor, and when he came back, he told his father and mother how little money he had every month, and how much he spent on weekdays; When something happens, he will ask Du Chensheng for silver. Therefore, as soon as Du Yunnian's words came out, Du Chensheng's gaze at his eldest son was extremely complicated.

Although Du Yunyi didn't know what his wife's intention was when he said that, he was familiar with crying poor, and immediately smiled bitterly: "Where do I have money?" Usually, how much money I have a month and how much I take home, my father doesn't know. ”

Zhang said next to him: "That's the case, my father also knows if he wants to come, my father has always loved Brother Cheng, knows that he wants to get married, and knows our difficulties, so he said that he helped us change the money for the house, and we should give Brother Cheng the money that came with him when he got married." ”

Hearing this, Du Chensheng's brows furrowed.

He didn't believe Zhang's statement.

Over the years, Zhang's family always said that her mother's family helped her a lot, and the children's clothes in the family seemed to be given to Zhang Luo by the second elder of the Zhang family, after all, the Zhang family has a silk shop, and it is reasonable to make clothes for her grandson and granddaughter.

But Du Yunyi, the Zhang family, has also been in contact many times, and he didn't see how generous the Zhang family was, and he didn't treat the Zhang family, the daughter who got married, very well. The most important thing is that although the Zhang family runs a pastry shop and silk in the city, the business is not very good, and how much money can be earned in a year, it is also counted, how can it be used to fill the married daughter?

The Zhang family also has brothers, seven or eight nephews and nieces, and there are more than a dozen members of the whole family. The Zhang family doesn't live anywhere in a generous place, how can they take out the money to change the house for the Zhang family?

Yao came in with a pig's head, and saw that Zhang was sitting there solemnly, talking to a few masters, and talking about changing houses, so she also stayed brightly.

Hearing this at this time, she couldn't help but interject and asked, "Then I don't know whose name is written in that house after changing houses?" ”
