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

Chapter 74 The Yellow-haired Brother with Many Friends

"Well, then let them sell their land and houses quickly to exchange for silver so that they can have money to support themselves. When they arrive in Dongzhou, they will have to spend money to buy farms and land."

"Third cousin, I've already told you all this, don't worry. My eldest brother and I will try to make a few more carts in the next few days so that it will be convenient to carry things on the road."

Li Chengli was working on the cart day and night. The family only had one donkey cart that could carry things, but the children would definitely not be able to move on the road to escape the famine. If they made two more carts, they could not only push the cart along, but also allow the elderly, the weak, the women and the children in the family to lie down on them and rest when they were halfway through the journey.

This kind of cart doesn't have to look good, and the workmanship doesn't have to be exquisite, it just has to be sturdy enough to be useful.

Their two houses were big and sturdy, and were among the best in the village. As soon as the news got out, someone wanted to buy them, and the price they asked for was not high.

The next day, several people came to ask how to sell the house and land. Both the land and the house were sold at 30% lower than the market price. Due to time constraints, they could only sell at a much lower price to quickly exchange for silver and leave.

After the sale, both parties went to the town to exchange the land deeds, handing over the silver in one hand and the land deeds and house deeds in the other.

The person who bought the house was the steward of the Yu Mansion. He was not in a hurry for the two families to move out and only said that they only needed to move out within seven days.

If he buys it cheaply and offers a higher price when he returns, he can still make a lot of money.

According to the plan, four days later, Lijia Village would go to the town to pay taxes and grain. They decided to leave early in the morning on the third day, and everything at home was almost ready.

Yu Suihuan and Li Chengjin still have to go to Hexi County to take back all the things that belong to her, which is better than letting Madam Yu, the vicious adoptive mother, get them.

The next morning, the two of them set off in a donkey cart with Brother Crow and Yellow Hair. It would take more than two hours to get from here to the county seat of Hexi County.

When I arrived at Yu Mansion, I saw that the entrance was decorated with lights and people were coming and going, it was very lively.

Yu Suihuan’s last memory was the day he was kicked out of the house.

After traveling all the way, they were a little hungry, so they found a noodle shop not far from the street and sat down.

"Boss, give me two bowls of noodles, with more coriander."

"Okay, sir, please take a seat first. The noodles will be ready soon."

The boss quickly prepared two bowls of noodles, poured the marinade on them, and added coriander, and the two bowls of fragrant noodles were ready.

"Boss, the house in front is so lively, is there a wedding going on?"

Yu Suihuan asked as if chatting.

"Yes, I heard that the third daughter of the Yu family is going to marry the prince of Liang as a concubine. That's really like flying to the top and becoming a phoenix. The Yu family is going to become a royal family!"

The boss' tone was full of envy when he spoke.

"No wonder, there are so many servants coming in and out. They must be preparing a lot of dowry, right?"

She continued to talk.

"That's not true. I heard that there were nearly a hundred loads of dowry prepared, all of which were placed in the garden next to Yu's house. I do business here, and every day I see servants putting loads of things into the garden."

The noodle shop owner is a talkative person and is very enthusiastic about gossip. Although he may not mean it, the listeners will take it seriously.

Yu Suihuan was already thinking about how to get all the dowry.

She looked through the space and found that there was still a lot of rapeseed oil that she had stored in the space yesterday.

This oil is the best for making a strong fire. She chuckled and already had an idea in her mind.

After finishing their noodles and paying the bill, the two strolled to a secluded alley behind Yu Mansion to survey the terrain.

Seeing his wife staring at the inconspicuous dog hole in the corner for a long time, Li Chengjin felt that he had seen through Yu Suihuan's thoughts.

"You, you don't want us to go in through the dog hole, right? It's broad daylight now, and we will be discovered if we go in."

"We have to drill. If we can't drill during the day, then we'll drill at night. We're here just to check out the area."

She is not stupid and she knows that she can be easily discovered during the day.

"Let's go to the grain station and the county magistrate's residence in Hexi County first, and then come to Yu Mansion when it's getting dark."

It is indeed easier to do arson at night.

"Huangmao, you are responsible for surveying the terrain here and observing where the warehouses in Yu Mansion are and where the good things are placed. Tell me when I come back."

"Also, if you have any friends, remember to call them over and monitor the actions of the important people in the mansion. If you hear any secrets, remember to tell me. Don't worry, your work will not be in vain. You will be provided with lunch and dinner."

"Don't worry, young master. I don't have any other abilities, but I have many friends. I will definitely check everything for you."

After the two left, Huangmao immediately started calling his friends, and soon hundreds of birds came.

"Brother Huangmao, what's the matter with calling us here?"

A magpie flew to Huangmao.

"As the saying goes, at home you rely on your brothers, when you go out you rely on your friends. I called you here today to ask for a favor. Help me monitor what everyone in this house does all day, who they say important things to, write it down and report to me. If you don't let your brothers work in vain, my young supervisor will have two meals today."

Huangmao's speech is quite gangster-like.

"Brother Huangmao, my family is the best at this. My mother is well-known in the surrounding villages as a bird detective. My mother can even count how many times my father looks at other female birds in a day."

"Yes, your mother is one."

The woodpecker couldn't help but jump out.

"Brother Huangmao, there is also my father. My father is very careful and has a good memory. He can tell at a glance how many female birds fly past our nest door every day and how tall and big they are."

"Okay, your dad will come too!"

"And I!"

"I………………"

Providing two meals a day was such a good job that all the birds signed up eagerly.

Soon, the Yu Mansion was under the surveillance of hundreds of birds, and the birds remembered clearly how many times a person farted in a day.

Yellow-haired bird, Magpie Mom, Woodpecker Dad and two sparrows, the five birds stared at Mrs. Yu from 360 degrees, afraid of missing any important information.

Here, Yu Suihuan and Li Chengjin took a donkey cart and asked along the way, and finally arrived at the nearest grain station.

The grain station in Hexi County is also collecting grain taxes in full swing, and the amount is much higher than that in Hedong County.

A group of officers and soldiers were like bandits. If anyone failed to hand over food, they would be beaten and scolded at best. Anyone who dared to cause trouble would be thrown into jail. They were simply a group of inhuman beasts.

Fortunately, the granaries in this grain station are next to each other. The newly opened granary is empty, and grain has just started to be loaded into it. The other full ones have been locked.

Yu Suihuan took Brother Crow and walked around to the back of the grain station with ease. She asked Brother Crow to fly to the small window to see clearly which warehouses had grain, and she would collect grain from those warehouses.

After collecting grain from one grain station, they rushed to another without stopping, using the same method. After collecting the last grain station, they reached the county magistrate's mansion.
