Marrying a village tyrant husband with space, being spoiled by the in-laws

Chapter 141 Ghost knocking on the door, and coughing in the middle of the night

"Master, except for pheasants, none of the other birds you caught can make calls. Besides, the sound of a pheasant's call is not a cough."

broken!

Mrs. He thought to herself that it was not good, but they still found it. Fortunately, they only suspected that it was a wild animal causing trouble and did not know the real reason.

She wanted to find an opportunity to go back and tell Mr. You about this matter.

This old lady He is really unwilling to give up until she sees the Yellow River. She is still creating panic and making people believe that it is haunted.

"What if the pheasant has a bad throat? It might make a weird sound at night, like a cough. Sister He, please take the meat to the kitchen and cook it. I want to have a few drinks with my cousin at noon today."

Luo Zhen was really afraid that he would not be able to control himself and beat this shrewish woman.

"Ouch, sir, my stomach suddenly hurts. The pain is unbearable. I'm afraid it's..."

All Mrs. He wanted now was to go back and tell Mr. You that the hedgehog had been caught, but she couldn't let her good deeds be ruined by their accident.

"Since Sister He has a stomachache, go home and rest first. There is no one in the inn right now. My cousin is here and we need to entertain him well. We are going to go out for fun together tomorrow. You can rest for two days and come back when you feel better."

Mrs. He thought about it, could it be that he knew something and wanted to send her away on purpose? But it didn't seem like that.

They said they were going out for fun tomorrow, and there was no one in the store, so it would be useless for her to come. She might as well not come and rest at home.

"Thank you very much, Master and Madam. I will come back the day after tomorrow."

Luo Jinshi did not show any strange expression on her face, and she even cordially saw He Po out the door.

"Aunt He, you know Xuan'er has been sick a lot lately. I heard there's a miracle doctor in Qi County who's very good at treating illnesses. Anyway, there's not much business in the inn right now, so we plan to take Xuan'er there to see a doctor."

"Madam, what about these relatives? Are they here to help you look after the inn?

"That's hard to say. How can we trouble my cousin to help look after the house for us? He can just lock the door and go out for two days and come back. It won't take long. It's just a medical check-up."

Only then did Mrs. He let down all her guard, hoping that as long as they were not discovered, everything would be fine.

"Ma'am, don't worry too much. It's normal for children to get sick. Maybe they will be fine in a few days."

The two chatted for a while longer before they dispelled Mrs. He's suspicion.

Luo Jin turned back to the yard, gnashing her teeth with a gloomy face.

"Cousin, you are right. This old lady He is not a good person. She keeps asking you what you are doing here."

"Cousin, this woman has something on her mind. She is afraid that we are here to take over your inn business. She is afraid that they will come back empty-handed, so she can't wait to ask us why we are here."

"Cousin, you stay in the courtyard of the inn tonight. There are good people lying in ambush outside the courtyard. They will definitely make the next move and release the hedgehog. By then, we can still hear coughing in this courtyard, which will make us believe that it is caused by a ghost."

"You'll know what caused the coughing sound when you catch these two hedgehogs today tonight. The bats that banged against the door and window were also their doing. The craftsmen you hired must have been in collusion with Mr. You."

"They splashed eel blood on the doors and windows beforehand, and then painted them red, so we couldn't tell there was anything wrong, but bats are the most sensitive. Once they sensed something, they would bang against the doors and windows, so there's the saying of ghosts knocking on doors at night."

After listening to this, Luo Zhen felt a tightness in his chest, which made his heart ache!

This person is really evil and vicious! But after being angry, I couldn't help but feel sad again.

"Hey, cousin! Even if we know that it was Master You who did this, our inn business will be in trouble in the future. Master You is a well-known rogue in the area, and he is related to the county magistrate by marriage."

"Since he has set his sights on my inn, he will definitely not give up. If he fails this time, there might be another time. By then, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to my wife and children. We can't afford to offend such a scoundrel in our business.

Luo Jinshi also looked worried.

"Cousin, your cousin is right. Even if we see through Mr. You's plan this time, there will be all kinds of conspiracies and tricks in the future. We will never be able to guard against them."

"After this incident, the business of this inn will probably be affected. It is better to raise the price and sell it to him. We can take Jiaer and Xuaner back to our hometown in Dongzhou Prefecture, buy some land, and live a stable life."

They really couldn't afford to offend such scoundrels. They would definitely disrupt their business in the future, so why bother getting angry with them?

Yu Suihuan also understood their thoughts, but they were too easy to bully. If the bad guys took over other people's livelihoods in this way, wouldn't there be no way for the good guys to survive?

"Brother and sister-in-law, you are so confused. Even if you want to sell it, you can't sell it to such a villain. Wouldn't that be giving them what they want? I feel aggrieved just thinking about it."

Luo Zhen knew it very well, he just wanted his family to be safe.

"Cousin, what can we do? If we sell it to someone else now, let alone whether anyone will buy it, Mr. You will definitely make trouble if he finds out. We don't want to bother with this villain. We just want to return home safely."

Luo Jinshi was also afraid of angering this villain. If he became resentful and killed the four members of their family, it would be really not worth it.

It would be better to sell it to him. He would just have to pay some money as compensation. They are all external possessions and are not as important as your own life.

"Cousin, cousin, I wonder how much money this inn is worth if you buy it all?"

Yu Suihuan thought, it would be better to be better than her than to be better than others.

"This inn was just renovated a while ago. There are five top-class rooms upstairs, five middle-class rooms, and eight lower-class rooms downstairs. You can see the big yard at the back. The big well in the middle cost more than 20 taels of silver to dig. There are also four large bunk beds and two storage rooms."

"There is a big kitchen over here, and there is a small courtyard with five rooms in the back, which is where our family usually lives. The annual rent of this inn is thirty taels of silver."

"Such a large place is really not expensive. Master Han rented it to me because he saved my life. Normally, such a large yard, especially in the county town, would cost at least 40 or 50 taels of silver a year in rent."

"I paid rent for this inn every three years, and only paid it during the Chinese New Year. I still have more than two years of rent to pay. The rent alone is at least more than 70 taels of silver. Add to that the investments in the inn, all kinds of beds and furniture, and it cost more than 100 taels of silver in total."

"If I sublet it, it would be more than 200 taels, but Mr. You only wanted to pay 100 taels. I refused at the time. I have to pay more than half of it. I have to pay more than 200 taels at least."

In fact, if the store is run normally, with such good business, someone would take it over for three hundred taels.

"Cousin, I have a suggestion. Why don't you sell this inn to me? I am willing to pay two hundred taels of silver, and I can also guarantee that Xuan'er's illness will be cured. You can take the silver and set off back home immediately."

"This way you don't have to worry about that You guy harming you. He Pozi won't be here in the next two days anyway. By the time he finds out, you'll have already returned home."
