The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 145 Buying a House
Doctor Xue picked some broad beans from Aunt Hu's house. This variety of broad beans is very special. It needs to be sown in early spring and will grow very fast after a few spring rains.

They've only just started to bloom, and some have already produced a few small seeds.

It's not ready yet.

"Damn it, even if it were ripe, you could eat it. This isn't even ripe yet! Isn't this a waste of food?!"

Aunt Hu San got angrier and angrier as she talked, so she simply sat down on the big rock in front of Old Wang's house, holding a broad bean stalk in her hand and cursing under her breath.

Old Mrs. Wang was naturally unhappy and had a big argument with her.

She pushed Doctor Xue in front of her again: "Go find whoever caused the trouble. This isn't my family. Do whatever you want with him!"

"Isn't this the miracle doctor you invited back? His mistakes are your responsibility. Don't give me any other nonsense, you just have to compensate me. Our whole family is counting on this food, do you want us to starve to death?!"

Grandma Wang didn't care about any of that: "I don't have time to argue with you right now. Either you drag that old geezer away, or you leave on your own!"

This crazy old man is staying at home and won't leave, which is giving Old Mrs. Wang a headache.

It's true what they say: it's easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away.

Doctor Xue was pulled by Xiao Ayu to wash his hands, as he had no change of clothes.

He was originally taken from a beggar's den, and his clothes were tattered. The other members of the Wang family did not know the background of Doctor Xue. After he "cured" Old Wang and Wang Chuangui, they even changed his clothes.

Of course, later Grandma Wang stopped allowing it.

Aunt Hu was furious and wanted to say a few more words of abuse, but Bian Dan came over and called her.

"Grandma, Uncle is back!"

The third son of the family came back after several months, and Aunt Hu had no choice but to leave reluctantly.

"Zhang Donkey, let me tell you, this isn't over yet. I'll come back to you later!"

Old Mrs. Wang sneered: "Fine, I'll wait for you to come to me. I just heard that all those gossipy matchmakers have been arrested. I'd like to ask the officials what crime it is to talk nonsense with outsiders in the village."

Back then, she slipped up and spread rumors about Old Mrs. Wang, something that Aunt Hu would never be able to hold her head up in shame for.

"You're still going back to the old almanac? You're so boring!" Aunt Hu knew she was in the wrong, so she muttered a few words, but feeling guilty, she pulled the carrying pole along and left.

The incident caused by Doctor Xue also reminded Old Mrs. Wang that she should get rid of Doctor Xue as soon as possible.

Hearing the commotion outside, Wang Chuangui slowly came out as well.

Ma was hanging clothes out to dry in the yard when she turned around and saw Wang Chuangui walking out. She was so startled that she dropped the clothes she was holding to the ground.

"Husband, you can walk now?!"

When Wang Chuangui practiced walking, he always did it secretly, afraid that others would laugh at his clumsy appearance.

Naturally, they also avoided the Ma family.

She had never seen it before, and when she suddenly saw her husband able to stand up, she was naturally startled.

They say it takes 100 days to recover from a broken bone, but they've only been gone for a short time.

Has it been a month?

The fact that the person was able to walk shows that Doctor Xue is indeed very capable.

By this time, Ma had long forgotten that Old Wang had already passed away a few days earlier.

However, he acted so naturally that the villagers all thought his leg hadn't been broken, but had simply recovered through some kind of rest.

Seeing his wife moved to tears, Wang Chuangui couldn't help but be touched. He could only suppress his emotions and thank her, saying, "Thank you for all these years."

If it weren't for Madam Ma's constant efforts, the second branch of the family would definitely have been the most miserable among the four brothers.

When he fell ill, Madam Ma took on the burden of two people on her own, and even though her mother told her she didn't have to, she never shirked her responsibilities.

Although they don't separate their households and share everything, each family still has to deal with its own trivial matters, which can be quite a lot.

Over the years, my wife has never uttered a single complaint, and she always smiles in front of others and behind their backs.

Madam Ma wiped away her tears: "Husband, what are you saying? We're family, what's there to worry about? I'm happier than anything else if your leg gets better!"

She didn't feel wronged. The Wang family was poor, but these days, how rich could anyone be?

When she arrived at the Wang family, her husband and everyone else doted on her. Her mother-in-law was especially kind to her, offering guidance on life lessons that even her own mother had never taught her. She felt only gratitude and had no resentment whatsoever.
Moreover, with her husband injured in the leg, if she continued to sigh and complain, life would truly become unbearable.

Ma didn't support Wang Chuangui; she just watched him walk nervously. She spoke a few words to him to help him relax.

While chatting casually, Wang Erlang learned something from Old Master Hu: he saw Wang Chuangui in the courtyard from afar, and his eyes lit up instantly.

"Dad, is your leg better?" Wang Erlang asked. "Yes, much better. I can walk, but I still can't jump," Wang Chuangui said, unusually humorous.

"It's alright, I'll take you dancing once it's ready." Wang Erlang took it seriously, which made Wang Chuangui and Ma Shi laugh.

The second family members comforted each other in the courtyard, and the scene was once very harmonious.

Until Old Mrs. Wang's voice rang out.

"What are you all doing gathered there? Don't you have anything better to do? Erlang, you're back just in time. Take good care of your younger siblings at home," said Grandma Wang. "I'm going out for a bit."

Take Wang Chuangui with you as well.

Wang Chuangui's leg has long since healed, and he is now no different from a normal person. Therefore, we should make the best use of people's talents and resources.

Grandma Wang wanted to take Wang Chuangui to town.

Little Ayu saw this and ran over to ask, "Grandma, where are you going?"

Grandma Wang said, "Grandma is going to town. You stay home and play with your brothers."

"Can Ayu come along?" Before Grandma Wang could answer, little Ayu shook her head. "No, no, Grandma must have something important to do. I won't bother you!"

After thinking about it, Grandma Wang decided to bring Xiao Ayu along.

She's planning to buy a house in town this time.

It's not sustainable for them to stay in the village and farm all the time; they need to be sent out eventually. There's no school in the village, but there is one in the town.

While we have money now, we should buy a house as soon as possible so that the children can go to school properly. That's the important thing.

Little Ayu ran to Qin Huai and said, "Brother Ayou, we're going to town. Is there anything you'd like me to bring you?"

Qin Huai: "What are you going to town for? To sell candied hawthorns?"

Now, the Wang family goes to sell candied hawthorns every two days, but little Ayu no longer goes with them. The Wang family's grandsons take turns going in pairs, and sometimes all three of them go together.

They don't sell many, usually only thirty or forty strings. Sometimes, if they're lucky and happen to be there on a market day, they sell out halfway to town.

"I don't know, Grandma is going to town, so I'm going with her!" Little Ayu said. "Town is a lot of fun, Brother Ayou, let's go together next time!"

Qin Huai thought about it and decided not to go.

Anyway, he has people in town, and he's already made arrangements to protect the Wang family.

Nothing should happen.

He stayed at home and practiced his martial arts skills more.

No matter how capable his subordinates are, that's their skill. He'll take Ayu out to play when he's truly capable himself.

Little Ayu was unaware that Qin Huai had already begun planning for the days when they would travel and enjoy life together after they grew up.

Once Wang Chuangui's foot was healed, his mood improved as well, and he carried Xiao Ayu on his back all the way to town.

Grandma Wang would glance at him every now and then, and seeing that her second son's legs were indeed almost like those of a normal person, she couldn't help but be surprised.

It must be a divine medicine to have such an effect. In that case, Ayu can be considered the second child's second parent.

Wang Chuangui was unaware that in his mother's mind, he was already a generation younger than Ayu.

He was just happily carrying little Ayu on his back, feeling incredibly proud. He used to not know the value of his legs and was always lazy and didn't move. Now that he was back to normal, he couldn't wait to walk around and show off all day and night.

Upon arriving in town, Old Mrs. Wang went directly to find the middleman.

The man in the middle was a man in his forties. When he heard that someone wanted to buy the house, he stopped eating and threw down his bowl, wiped his mouth, and greeted Grandma Wang and the others with a big smile.

"Oh my, you've come at the perfect time! These days, not many people are buying houses in town, so we've kept all the good ones for you. We guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

The town is so small that most of the houses are inherited from their ancestors, and very few people would think of selling their houses.

There are houses for sale, but it's hard to find buyers. Most people who live in town already own a house, and they only buy one if they really don't have enough room at home. Houses change hands very slowly on weekdays.

He's the type who doesn't make a sale for three years, but when he does, he makes enough to last him half a year.

You'll have to figure out the rest of the two and a half years yourself.

They need other sources of income, otherwise they'd starve to death relying on selling houses.

"Grandma, let me tell you the truth, houses are hard to buy and hard to sell these days. So if you're really serious about buying, I'll definitely introduce you to the best one, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied with the price!"

Grandma Wang ignored his rambling and went straight to the point: "What kinds of houses are there? Take me to see them."
