The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 152 The Spirit-Testing Rat
Old Wang's family bought a house in town, and the family members were divided into several groups.

Wang Chuanfu doesn't plan to go to town; his family still has so many acres of land that someone needs to manage.

We can't starve in town; we need to make sure our family has enough food.

Grandma Wang plans to stay in town with Xiao Ayu and help set up the shop; otherwise, if she lets her silly sons do it, they might lose money.

Wang Chuangui is going to town. Old Mrs. Wang is putting the most pressure on him now, urging him to take the imperial examination next year.

The candidates for the imperial examinations in Dachang Kingdom are held every two years. There are none this year, so it's perfect for preparing for next year's exams.

Wang Chuangui said he was under a lot of pressure.

Wang Chuanyuan wanted to try his luck at the shop in town. He hadn't dared to think about it before, but now that the shop belonged to his family, there was no rent, so even if he lost money, he wouldn't lose much.

I always want to give it a try.

As for Wang Chuanman, he actually wanted to stay in the village, but since his daughter was going to town, he naturally wanted to go with her.

After a discussion, everyone decided to let the brothers take turns trying. For the first year, Wang Chuanfu stayed at home, and Wang Dalang also stayed home to help learn how to manage the family's fields.

Wang Chuangui prepared for his studies, Wang Chuanyuan went to the shop, and Wang Chuanman tried to find work in town; if he couldn't find any, he would go back to the village.

All of Wang Dalang's grandsons went to town with him.

Actually, Wang Sanlang and Wang Silang were originally going to stay in the village to learn kung fu from Chijia, but Qin Huai was also going to town, so what a coincidence!

Suddenly, Old Wang's house became deserted.

The once lively family is now reduced to just a few members of the eldest son's family.

Of course, they are not ready to go there yet.

On the second day, Old Mrs. Wang took all her daughters-in-law and sons to town to familiarize themselves with the place and clean the house and shop inside and out.

The shop is fine, but the house has been uninhabited for a long time, so cleaning it will be a bit of a hassle.

Mrs. Ma was a capable worker; after cleaning up the dirty things in the house, she took them outside to throw them away.

When she returned, her face was pale.

Grandma Wang asked her, "What's wrong? Did you really see a ghost? Your face looks like it's been painted with a white powder, all pale and sickly. Who are you trying to scare?"

Ms. Ma hesitated, unsure whether she should speak.

"Just say what you have to say, don't beat around the bush with me." Old Mrs. Wang rubbed her lower back. All that work had exhausted her, and it had even made her irritable.

Mrs. Ma said in a low voice, "I went out to throw something away just now and met an old lady, a neighbor. She said this house is a bit eerie, it seems like someone drowned here..."

Grandma Wang's expression remained unchanged: "What, she said someone drowned here?"

That wasn't mentioned.

But that's the gist of it.

Doesn't that make the new house seem unlucky?

“Eight hundred years ago, every inch of the land you stepped on was stained with human blood. If you dug down, who knows how many bones you would find. Are you afraid of that?” Old Mrs. Wang sneered. “If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear. Let others talk, just ignore them.”

Grandma Wang was the least likely to believe in stories about houses being haunted. If wealthy and powerful families were to insist on things like someone dying in their house, then they wouldn't want to live there.

Whose house hasn't had a few deaths?

Tens of thousands of people died in the palace, so the emperor and empress stopped living there.

Originally, Mrs. Feng was extremely panicked, fearing that she had bought a haunted house, and her heart was pounding.

Now that I've heard my mother-in-law say this, it seems to make sense.

Why is she panicking?

Ms. Feng shook off the uncomfortable feeling in her heart and hurried back to work.

Grandma Wang went to the yard again and looked around. The pond was indeed quite deep and dark. She didn't know what had been planted in it, and the water was pitch black and not very aesthetically pleasing.

Grandma Wang directed Wang Chuanfu: "Eldest son, come here and clean this pool, dig an opening, and drain the water first."

Xiao Ayu naturally came along too, but she originally wanted to see where Qin Huai lived, but Qin Huai wouldn't budge, so she had no choice but to go home.

After Xiao Ayu left, Qin Huai turned to Chi Jia and asked, "Where's the house?"

Chi Jia was somewhat embarrassed. Who knew that when the young master heard yesterday that the Wang family was moving, he immediately said that he wanted to move too. Where could they find a suitable house in such a short time?

Since we're buying a house, we should naturally buy one that's a bit more comfortable.

The house they built on Old Wang's property was quite particular.

It's a pity that I haven't stayed there much yet.

Chi Jia wiped away his sweat and had no choice but to take Qin Huaixian to the Nanhe Inn.

"I'll make do here for the night, and tomorrow I'll ask a few more middlemen."

That's all.

After a while, Chi Jia heard the young master whisper, "Don't tell her."

What's forbidden? And who should be told?
It took Chi Jia a while to realize that he couldn't tell Xiao Ayu that he had followed her here expectantly, but didn't even have a place to stay.

Chi Jia thought to himself, "It seems that the young master's health has improved. Will he have to follow Xiao Ayu from now on?"

The Wang family is developing so fast; they might move to the county seat, the prefectural seat, or even the capital, Wanning City, in the future.

What if Xiao Ayu wants to travel around in the future, staying in one city or another, but doesn't have a house?
We need to prepare a house for the young master as soon as possible.

To avoid an embarrassing situation like today.

So Chijia made a mental calculation and bought houses for Qin Huai in several other places as well.

Chi Jia shared this idea with Qin Huai.

Qin Huai thought for a moment and asked, "How much money do I have left?"

"The money that the lady and others have given me over the years has all been kept by your subordinates for the young master. It should be enough to buy a dozen or so houses."

A dozen or so houses are too few. The Great Chang Kingdom has sixteen prefectures, each prefecture governs twenty-four cities, and each city has ten to fifteen counties. So, the number of houses to buy is quite large.

Who knows, she might not go in the future?
As for the money—

Qin Huai raised his hand: "Serve me pen and ink."

It's time to write a letter to his mother.

Two weeks later, a beautiful woman received a letter with only a few words on it.

"I'm short of money and need your help."

The beautiful woman looked completely bewildered: ???

Where did they go? Did they spend all that money?

Old Wang's house is located between Nanhe Street and Nanhe Second Street, about a 15-minute walk from their shop, which is quite nice.

As soon as Xiao Ayu stepped into the yard, she was pounced on by a lamb and rolled to the ground with a thud.

"Little lamb, I'm going to get angry!" Seeing that she was covered in mud, Little Ayu put her hands on her hips and looked very angry.

Every time Xiao Ayu goes out, the little sheep follows, but Grandma Wang will call it back. This time, it came with her.

The lamb was very excited and ran around in the yard, but accidentally fell into the pond.

Just as everyone was about to go to the rescue, the little lamb sensed that Xiao Ayu had returned, and jumped out of the pool, all wet, and pounced on Xiao Ayu.

Little Ayu was so angry she almost cried.

Her pockets are all dirty!

Little Ayu, quickly take off your pocket and put it aside.

As a result, a fruit accidentally rolled out of my pocket.

Before she could pick it up, something suddenly ran over from the pond, snatched the fruit in a flash, and disappeared without a trace.

"Ah, my fruit!" Little Ayu exclaimed.

[It's a spirit-testing rat! Treasure! Quick, everyone catch it!]

It's hiding in its mouse hole, gnawing on your fruit.
