Chapter Forty-Eight: Moving to Town

Aunt Liu thought for a while, and then she responded.

"That shop has a second floor, and it can have four rooms if it is changed, so let's stay in the town after we open the shop, so as not to run back and forth." Cheng Qingwan said while watching them make clothes.

"Okay, then keep the house here for now, after all, there are still fields to take care of."

Cheng Qingwan nodded, and when she saw that the things she said were almost the same, she went back to her room to sleep.

The next day, she took Qiaoqiao and Lianzhi to collect all the tomatoes in the backyard and put them in the house one by one.

At night, Cheng Qingwan lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, thinking that she would go to the town early tomorrow morning, so she kept counting the sheep with her eyes closed.

As a result, I didn't sleep all night.

When she walked out of the room with two dark circles under her eyes, everyone was startled.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Song Qiaoqiao looked at the person in the carriage, and stopped talking: "What do you think?" ”

"I counted the sheep last night and still didn't sleep." Cheng Qingwan blinked her sour eyes, sleepy to death.

"Wanwan, you didn't sleep well, otherwise I'd better drive the carriage." Cheng Hua'er stood on the side of the carriage and said.

"No need A-Niang, you and Aunt Liu still have to watch the branches."

"Yes, Aunt Cheng, don't worry, I will watch Wanwan."

Cheng Hua'er nodded and explained a few words.

When Song Qiaoqiao heard this, when she got into the carriage, she deliberately sat next to her: "I'll talk to you, so that you don't fall asleep halfway." ”

Cheng Qingwan didn't say anything, so she chatted with her all the way.

When they arrived at the door of the store, the shopkeeper was already waiting at the door, and when he saw them coming, he hurriedly greeted them.

"A few girls are here, and the owner of this shop is waiting inside."

"I've been waiting." Cheng Qingwan jumped out of the carriage, helped Cheng Hua'er down, and introduced to the shopkeeper: "This is my aunt." ”

"Ouch, it's Madame, quick, please inside." The shopkeeper brought people in and said, "Our proprietor is from the capital, and he happened to be here during this time. ”

"Did he agree to sublet the shop to me?"

"I agreed, I came today to sign the contract." The shopkeeper pointed to the man sitting at the table drinking tea and said, "This is the proprietor." ”

The man stood up and nodded to the others, "Which of you wants to rent my shop?" ”

"It's me." Cheng Qingwan stepped forward, looked at him and said, "I plan to rent it for a year first, what do you think of the owner?" ”

"Of course it's okay, I'm here to be a witness today, you can just give the rent to Shopkeeper Zhou." The man took the contract and put it in front of her: "This is the contract, after you read it, you can sign it without any problem." ”

Cheng Qingwan nodded, read it carefully, confirmed that there was no problem, and signed.

Then the shopkeeper Zhou and the man signed and pressed their handprints.

As soon as Song Qiaoqiao saw that it was finished, he handed eighty taels of silver to Shopkeeper Zhou.

"I've moved all my things, and I'll be back to my hometown tomorrow. This is the key to this, girl. ”

Cheng Qingwan took the key and thanked her with a smile.

As soon as the man saw that everything was done, he stood up and was about to leave, and as soon as he raised his eyes, Cheng Hua'er's appearance bumped into his eyes, and he frowned and looked at it for a while.

Lian Zhi on the side looked at it and hurriedly pulled Cheng Hua'er back.

As soon as the woman moved, the man came to his senses, took a deep look, and then turned and walked away.

After Cheng Qingwan sent the shopkeeper away from Zhou, she muttered softly: "That man's eyes are so strange when he looks at A-Niang." ”

"You saw that too?" Lian Zhi said softly, "I thought you weren't paying attention here. ”

"I didn't pay attention to it, but the man's behavior was too weird, so I just paid attention to this side."

"Then, sister, what should we do?"

Cheng Qingwan looked at the woman's face and shrugged her shoulders: "Cold salad, who made A-Niang look too peugeot." ”

Lian Zhi reacted for a while before she realized that she was joking.

Cheng Qingwan looked at the vacated store and thought about cleaning it first before buying furniture.

So, it took the family three days to clean the store inside and out.

When I got home, everyone was exhausted and paralyzed.

"A-Niang, are we going to move the bed there tomorrow?" Cheng Qingwan raised her arm in collapse and asked.

"The carriage is so small, it definitely can't fit down, besides, there is still food growing here, and we have to come back to live, so let's buy a few more beds." Cheng Hua'er lay on the bed and responded.

"Okay, let's clean it up tomorrow." Cheng Qingwan dragged into the house with heavy steps, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

The next day, when the family was carrying their things to the wagon, many villagers stood outside the courtyard.

"Cheng, where are you going?"

"Go to town." Cheng Hua'er responded while working.

"Moved to town?" Next door, Wang asked in surprise.

Cheng Qingwan blinked and said, "That's not it, we just went to the town to open a store, and we will still come back to live in the evening." ”

The surrounding villagers were surprised and immediately discussed the matter one after another.

A woman looked at the Qin family next to her and said sarcastically: "At the beginning, if you wanted to marry Zhao Di alive, it is estimated that now you have already joined their family, and I will definitely take you to the town." It's really the same life, you see Qiaoqiao and Widow Liu follow them to eat and drink spicy food every day. As for you, several of your daughters have run away. ”

Qin clenched his fists and stared at them fiercely: "If it weren't for Cheng Qingwan, a dead girl, who messed up the marriage, my family would be eating and drinking spicy food now." ”

"Cut, just rely on Zhaodi's little bit of moon silver to stuff your son's teeth?" The woman glanced at her disdainfully, and then said, "I heard Song Qian say that the nobles brought by Lord Yuan last time were specially sent by the palace and rewarded with a thousand taels of silver." ”

"What, a thousand taels?" Qin immediately shouted, walked into the courtyard angrily, pointed to the noses of several people and scolded: "Your family, you got a thousand taels, and you don't even want to pay back the twenty taels in our family?" ”

Everyone gave her a faint look, and then they all went back to work.

As soon as Qin saw that no one was paying attention to her, he used a trick, sat on the ground and howled: "There is no reason, the debt is not repaid, this group of people who have no conscience, they eat and drink spicy food, and they refuse to pay back even twenty taels of silver." ”

Cheng Qingwan was about to straddle her legs and walk to the kitchen, but she didn't expect to be hugged by her thighs.

"If you don't give you money today, don't think about leaving!" Qin said angrily: "You think I don't know, Zhaodi's dead girls were abducted by you, if you don't give the silver today, I'll sue you!" ”

"Okay." Cheng Qingwan took her by the collar and dragged her to the door: "I'll take you to see Lord Yuan, whether you should pay or not, it's up to him to decide." ”

"Who doesn't know that Lord Yuan has a leg with you, what if he is biased towards you?"

"Then go to the pavilion chief, if you are not satisfied, let Wei County order come." Cheng Qingwan threw her in front of the carriage and said with a smile: "Where you want to go, I will choose you." ”

The Qin family just wanted to extort money, and didn't want to follow her to see the official at all, seeing this battle, she immediately lay on the ground and lied: "How can there be a debtor who sues the creditor, it's unreasonable." ”

Cheng Qingwan glanced at the sky and pulled her up: "Either get out, or get in the carriage now, and I'll take you to the pavilion chief." ”

The Qin clan ignored her at all, and kept scolding in his mouth.

The villagers outside the door have already surrounded the first floor, and everyone has raised their necks to watch the excitement.

Cheng Qingwan was too lazy to talk nonsense, so she grabbed the person and stuffed it into the carriage with Lian Zhi Lian Song.

As soon as Qin Shi saw that she was really coming, he immediately panicked: "You let me go, you let me go down!" Help, the Cheng family has kidnapped you! Kill! ”

At this moment, Yuan Qi walked in from the outside with someone.

Whether it is the Qin family or Cheng Qingwan's family, it is like seeing a savior.

"Lord Yuan, Lord Yuan, help, Cheng Qingwan is kidnapping, she wants to sell me to the Qinglou."

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately burst out laughing.

This Qin family has a long face and small eyes, a high nose and a big mouth, and he is over forty years old, is he sold to the Qinglou as an old bustard?

Cheng Qingwan stood on the carriage and pulled the Qin family out: "Lord Yuan, you have to make a break, otherwise our family will not be able to get by." ”

"Or is it because of the twenty taels of the dowry?"

"Yes." Cheng Qingwan grabbed Qin's wrist and didn't let her move.

Yuanqi nodded, looked at the Qin family, and said word by word: "Qin family, you and the pavilion chief's wife both voluntarily divorced, what does this matter have to do with the Cheng family?" ”

"You... Who doesn't know that you and Cheng Qingwan have a leg, of course you are biased towards her. ”

"If you say so, then we will go to the pavilion chief's wife and confront him face to face. I'll put my words here today, even if you make trouble in the palace, Your Majesty won't let the Cheng family pay you money.

Yuan Qi looked at her and didn't speak, so he continued: "I have already looked for the pavilion chief's wife that day, and I also read the divorce letter, the two of you signed and pressed your handprints, all of which are voluntary, what reason is there for the Cheng family to compensate you for the dowry?" ”

Cheng Qingwan saw that the person was stunned, so she hurriedly took the person out of the car: "Lord Yuan is handed over to you, I have made an appointment with the carpenter, it's almost too late, let's go first." ”

After saying that, everyone hurriedly got into the carriage and went all the way to the town.

When I arrived at the store, it was still late.

Cheng Qingwan hurriedly opened the door and entered, made a pot of tea and compensated the carpenter.

When the carpenter saw that she was so polite, he didn't say anything, and after drinking a cup of tea, he went to the second floor to measure the size.

Cheng Qingwan and the others hurriedly bolted the carriage to the backyard and moved the things down.

After a while, the carpenters came down and said with a smile: "Miss Cheng, we have changed the upstairs room." ”

Cheng Qingwan lifted the curtain in the backyard, took a tael of silver and handed it to them: "This is your salary, it's hard work." ”

"Okay, then we'll go first."

"Walk slowly." Cheng Qingwan watched them walk out the door, then returned to the backyard and moved things into the kitchen.
