In the end, Chu Yi did not respond to the proposal of the boss of the store and Lu Abo, and despite the shouts of the two of them who kept asking him to think about it again, he got on an ox cart and rushed to the outside of the county.

In the east wing of the Chu family's old house, Shen Luzhu, who had already had lunch, had just put his fat son to sleep at the moment, and he was also a little drowsy, when he heard something from outside his yard, and hurriedly got off the kang and left the house.

It turned out that Chu Li, who had not yet fallen asleep, heard the sound of Chu Yi driving the ox cart back, ran out of the house to open the courtyard door, and welcomed his brother into the courtyard.

Shen Luzhu also followed, stepped forward and asked with concern, "Why is it so long today? Have you had lunch?"

Seeing that Chu Yi was sweating profusely, he picked up the herbal tea on the stone table in the courtyard and poured a bowl and handed it over.

Chu Yi patted his younger brother on the shoulder and told him to go back to the room to rest quickly, and then explained to his wife: "I met the boss of the previous shop and Lu Abo, so I delayed, I haven't had lunch yet, can Ah Zhu cook me a bowl of noodles?"

As soon as he heard that Chu Yi hadn't eaten lunch yet, Shen Luzhu hurriedly took the herbal tea in Chu Yi's hand: "Then don't drink herbal tea yet, it's not good for your stomach, you're asleep, you go to the West Chamber to rest, I'll pour you some warm water, and then eat two mouthfuls of pastries to cushion it, the noodles are fast, wait for me!"

Chu Yi smiled at his wife: "Okay, Ah Zhu take your time, I'm not in a hurry."

Having said that, Chu Yi followed his wife into the stove room together, rolled up his sleeves and was about to help, but was quickly stopped by Shen Luzhu.

"After tossing all morning, why aren't you tired?"

"I'm not tired."

Shen Luzhu saw that Chu Yi was unmoved, and continued to scoop the water, so he could only reach out and grab the water: "Don't be tired and go to rest, it's summer, why do you have to stay in the stove room, how hot it is!"

Chu Yi didn't argue with his wife, but he still didn't go out obediently, but took a small bench and sat aside to accompany him: "Then Ah Zhu, wouldn't it be hotter for you to cook every day."

After that, he looked up at the four sides of his stove room, and proposed: "Ming'er will find a few craftsmen to open a big window on the north wall, and I can't think of the window sash, so that the stove can be cooler, and then put on the window sash when the weather turns cool in autumn."

"This summer is about to pass, and I don't know if I will stay in the county or at home next summer, and what will I do now, I would rather you have a good rest when you have that time."

Shen Luzhu spoke, but the movements in his hands never stopped, neatly reconciled the noodles, cut them into thick noodles of the same thickness, boiled the oil in the pot, added soup to cook the noodles, and finally added a few pieces of home-made sauce meat, two fried eggs and a small green vegetable, and a pot of fragrant noodles was ready.

Chu Yi stepped forward to take the dishes and chopsticks in his wife's hand, took the noodles out of the pot, and went to the hall with Shen Luzhu to eat this belated lunch.

After eating, the little couple was afraid of waking up Zhengzheng, who was still asleep, so they nested on the kang in the west wing room and chatted.

"The Lu family wants us to buy the east courtyard of his house, and they also said that they will sell it to us for one hundred taels."

Shen Luzhu was a little puzzled: "One hundred taels? What happened to the Lu family's shop? Otherwise, how could the price be so low, or they took the initiative to find us."

"It's still my family's Azhu who is smart, they went to the yamen again that day, but they still haven't been able to find out what the truth is, not only that, but now everyone in the whole county knows about it, and no one wants to buy the Lu family's mansion at all."

Shen Luzhu nodded, a little embarrassed: "This matter has been entangled for so many years, and I have entered the yamen twice before and after, but it is still such a result, the Lu family is not defeated but lost, and the Yu family is not defeated but seems to have won. But even if this is the case, there is no need for the Lu family to be in such a hurry, they have to sell the house! Just live like this, and when the lease expires, there will be no reason for the Yu family to continue to occupy it."

Chu Yi gently fanned his wife with a pu fan: "Lu Abo only said that he couldn't stand it anymore, and was tossed by the Yu family all day long, and now he just wants to never have any entanglement with the Yu family again, and sell the silver to go to the countryside to support the elderly."

"No, this Yu family is too lacking in morality, why do you still toss people in private, it shouldn't be to go to the Lu family's East Courtyard to make trouble, right?"

"It was the Lu family who said it, and I didn't ask about the specifics, but it seems that the Lu family is true

It's been tossed a lot."

Although the Lu family is pitiful, Shen Luzhu can't sympathize with the Lu family anymore, just because this surnamed Lu seems to be eyeing his family Chu Yi, how can he look at people honestly, and just catch a fool!

Shen Luzhu said with some anger: "This Lu family is really, their shop is so bad, and there are neighbors like the Yu family on the side, they themselves should know that the merchants in the entire county don't want to get a little involved, and they are embarrassed to go to you, how can you say it, are we really stupid?"

Chu Yi pinched his wife's cheeks with some amusement: "They said that our family is good friends with Brother Ding, so the Yu family doesn't dare."

How do you know that Shen Luzhu became even more angry after hearing this: "What? What kind of bullshit is this!"

Chu Yi hurriedly coaxed, "Okay, don't be angry, I didn't agree."

"This family really doesn't deserve sympathy at all, their own family was fooled into renting out the shop at a low price, and they rented it for several years, and they couldn't increase the rent, and they didn't know how much they wanted, so they turned their heads and were tricked into getting a trumped-up lease deed, but they could only swallow their anger. Now in the face of us, I have the courage and brains, why don't you go back to your own shop if you have this ability!

What else is good with Brother Ding, I think they are still playing Brother Ding's idea, maybe they want to tie us to a boat at a cheap price first, and then take advantage of Brother Ding's momentum to force the Yu family to return the shop, and when the time comes, without the hindrance of the Yu family, the shop in the West Courtyard will naturally be able to sell at a good price, this wishful thinking is really loud!"

Chu Yi didn't expect these careful thoughts of the Lu family at that time, but first, there was no need to buy it even though he knew that the house was in trouble, and secondly, he didn't like the Lu family and the boss of the house, and always wanted to rely on Ding An's identity to achieve some purpose.

In his opinion, if you want to fight with your own ability, even if you don't have that much ability, you should at least learn to take the initiative to stay away from trouble, and you want to use the power of others in everything, so it is inevitable that you will be calculating.

"Ah Zhu doesn't say it, I really didn't expect this relationship."

"I'm guessing too, maybe they didn't think about it that way, but it's true that they took us for fools!"

Chu Yi saw that Shen Luzhu became angry again in a blink of an eye, and hurriedly changed the topic, chatting about the two shops he went to see in the county town today, as well as the words that his buddies persuaded him before leaving.

"That guy said this, although he wanted to persuade us to rent that studio, but it shouldn't be groundless, and he made it up for us. Maybe I want to think of a shop like the Lu family, but it's not easy to find. But I've already told the guy, so we're not in a hurry. Originally, I was thinking that after leaving from there, I would find two more servants to ask, but who knew that I ran into the Lu family, and if it was okay in two days, I would go to the county again to take a look."

After listening to Chu Yi's words, Shen Luzhu said thoughtfully: "Chu Yi, why don't we buy the Lu family's shop?"

Chu Yi noticed that his wife was talking about "shop" instead of "house", and for a while he couldn't keep up with Shen Luzhu's train of thought: "Shop? What does Azhu want to do?"

"Isn't the Lu family anxious to get rid of the Yu family? We can think of a way that doesn't require Brother Ding, but we have to make an agreement with the Lu family in advance, and after the matter is completed, we will sell the two courtyards to us at the current price."

"Then my family, Ah Zhu, is there already a way?"

"Hmm! Chu Yi, do you remember the lease deed that Brother Ding showed us last time?"

Chu Yi nodded in response.

Shen Luzhu leaned into Chu Yi's ear and whispered, "What do you think of this......

After hearing this, Chu Yi looked at his wife with a funny face, and only his family Azhu could come up with such a solution: "Then I will go to the town again tomorrow and talk to Lu Abo?"

"No, no."

Shen Luzhu shook his head and continued: "Don't worry, let's follow the agreement with you, before the Winter Clothes Festival shop gets busy, just go again, if the Lu family is really as they said, they will definitely find us again, if they don't show up, it means that God doesn't want us to get involved in this matter." Then take it as a shop to see it, and by the way, I will inform you that if the Winter Clothes Festival is busy, let's go to the county seat to see it

The shop won't be completed until mid-October."

"Okay, listen to Azhu."

said that I would go to the county seat after a while, but before two days, the Lu family directly found the backing village, and came directly to the Chu family's old mansion by inquiring.

At that time, the little couple was chatting in the courtyard next door with their fat son, and suddenly heard Chu Li's voice greeting him, and when he turned his head, he saw Chu Li lying on the courtyard wall shared by the two families, beckoning to the little couple: "Brother and sister-in-law, someone from the family is here, and they said they were looking for their brother."

After the last separation, when Chu Yi renovated his house, he only raised the courtyard walls in several other places, leaving only this one shared with the grandfather's house next door, in order to accommodate the two families, and the habit of lying on the wall and passing on a word was nothing.

Although the wall has not been heightened, Chu Li is now higher than a year, but if you want to lie on the wall like now, it is still a little laborious, and you have to step on a stool under your feet.

Shen Luzhu was worried that Chu Li would fall, so he hurriedly advised, "Ah Li, be careful when you go down, watch your feet, don't fall."

"Got it, don't worry, sister-in-law!"

Someone came to the house, and the little couple was busy hugging Zhengzheng and walking back, but who knew that they met the old couple Lu Ah Bo and his wife directly at the gate of the courtyard, and Chu Li, who had come down from the wall, opened the door from the courtyard: "Sister-in-law, they are here to find Brother."

Chu Ping, who came out of the courtyard next door, looked at the two people who were very strangers in front of him, bumped his cousin with his elbow and asked, "Who is this, why haven't you seen it, it doesn't look like a relative in our village, it's a relative of my sister-in-law's family?" Then why are you looking for your cousin?"

"Ruabor, who are you?"

Lu Abo also knew that he would be disgusted by coming to the door directly without warning like this, so he hurriedly explained: "Boss Chu, don't mind, my wife and I went to the village near here to buy a house for the elderly in the future, and I happened to hear that Boss Chu's house is nearby, so I turned around and took a look." Look at the book

Chu Yi was very displeased with Lu Abo's behavior today, and he knew that any excuse was an excuse, he had left his own address in the house, in case there was anything that had to contact him immediately, the boss of the house wanted to call someone to pass the word, but he didn't want to ask the boss of the house to reveal it to the Lu family.

"That's a coincidence."

Chu Yi's words made Lu Abor not know how to deal with it for a while, but fortunately, the other party didn't say anything else, but said, "If there's anything, let's go to the hospital and talk about it."
