Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

"Now the workshop business is getting better and better, and they always talk about looking for a maid. The courtyard we live in now seems a little small."

Du Wenxiu smiled and explained, "Now Haisheng is getting closer to Auntie and even wants to sleep with her at night."

"You have to work during the day, and you can't sleep well at night. It just so happened that Mrs. Zhang brought the picture of this yard, and I liked it at first sight. You and Auntie can take a look at it too."

As he said that, he reached out to take Haisheng, and A Luo also came over to take a look.

This is a two-courtyard house. The front is for receiving guests, and behind the second courtyard is a back room for maids to live in, with a small garden.

Although the yard is not big, it is fully equipped.

"I think it's good. The yard is bigger, so we don't have to send guests to the main house. Our house is small, so we can't do that. It doesn't look like that for families that are a little more particular."

A Luo also liked it after seeing it.

Now that we have a child at home, there are so many things that we can’t put them away. Diapers and clothes are stuffed everywhere and we can’t put them away.

Du Wenxiu had said long ago that she wanted to buy someone to help her, but she was worried about not having enough accommodation.

Although the west wing is empty now, a lot of miscellaneous things have been piled in since Xiaohu left.

After Haisheng was born, there was no chance to clean up, so everything was just piled in there in a mess.

"It's good, but I wonder how much it costs? We women can't afford to be ripped off." A Luo reminded again.

Du Wenxiu teased Haisheng and said, "Don't worry, Auntie. Auntie Zhang is the sister of Auntie Zhang, our neighbor next door. They visit us often."

"Besides, if we are careful and ask around, we won't be fooled."

"The house she was talking about was sold because the father died and his son ruined the family business to pay off the debts."

"Oh, that's so unlucky. When our family does business, we should think more about it." After hearing this, A Luo shook his head repeatedly.

Du Wenxiu's soul comes from the modern soul and can't help laughing. Thinking back to the past, young people dared to live in haunted houses in order to save money. Why would they be afraid of these things?

"Don't worry, Auntie. How to run this business and whether the family business will prosper or fail depends on us. If we teach our children well, the family business will prosper for generations to come."

"If you keep spoiling her, it's normal for her to die in three lifetimes. What if she's not in the house?"

Seeing that A Luo was still not happy, Du Wenxiu said:

"Besides, they have sold this courtyard. I'm afraid they will have to move to a smaller courtyard. I'll ask Mrs. Zhang to ask."

"If we use the yard in our old home as collateral, it might be cheaper. I hope my aunt and sister won't blame me for acting on my own. I just thought that the yard is not easy to rent or sell, so I asked in vain."

"I don't want to go back there. If sister can think of a way to sell it, I would be more than willing to do so." Du Wenchan raised her head and said seriously.

It was the courtyard of the former Du family. A family member died suddenly in the house and it was regarded as a haunted house. There was no market for it, whether renting it out or selling it.

Du Wenxiu now simply asked an old couple who were known to be very lucky to look after the house, to increase its popularity and prevent it from falling into disrepair.

On weekdays, I just drag some jars of pickles over to use as a warehouse.

"If he is willing to exchange yards with us, then, we can still discuss it." A Luo also frowned.

"As you said, whether it will be prosperous or not depends on how we educate our children. At worst, we can be stricter with our Haisheng..."

But looking at the expression on her face, she seemed a little bit reluctant.

Du Wenxiu saw this and became even more determined to get that big yard.

Haisheng is still young, but he can see that A Luo dotes on him in every way. If he says anything more, he will block it by saying that the child is still young.

I'm really afraid of dropping it if I hold it in my hand, and afraid of it melting if I hold it in my mouth.

Du Wenxiu was worried that when the child grew up, she would spoil him even more, using the excuse that the child was pitiful because he had no father.

By then, with the grandmother taking care of the child, it will be very difficult to control him.

The next time Zhang Yapo came, she brought the good news that the family was willing to change houses, and Du Wenxiu readily agreed.

"Do they know the story behind our Du family's house? Don't be afraid after you move in and come to bargain with us."

Looking at Zhang Yapo who was smiling beside him, Du Wenxiu couldn't help but confirm it again.

Grandma Zhang Ya smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam Du. I have already told them that Madam Mo said that if there is an unfilial son in the family, there is no need to worry about the evil spirits coming to look for him."

"She didn't care at all that the Du family's yard was a haunted house. She just wanted to meet the evil ghost a few times, hoping to scare her son back to life."

Du Wenxiu had no control over what Madam Mo thought, but since she didn't mind, he felt relieved.

He brought A'luo, who was at home, and Zhang Yapo to meet the seller, Madam Mo, and go to see the yard together.

"Oh, it's more spacious than it looks in the picture. There are more rooms, and I can grow some vegetables in the garden at the back."

A Luo carried Haisheng around and came back to sigh with Du Wenxiu.

Du Wenxiu was afraid that she would get tired holding the child, so she reached out to take it, but A Luo dodged her.

"How heavy can a child this young be? You should go check the house."

Madam Mo was a serious woman. Even though her family business had fallen into decline, she still combed her hair neatly and wore clean and tidy clothes.

"Mom." A young man came out from the east wing, bowed to Madam Mo and greeted her softly.

He was Guan Baolai, the son of Madam Mo. His father was framed in business and had to sell all the family shops and properties. He felt guilty about letting down his wife and children, so he fell ill and died a few days later.

Guan Baolai borrowed money and went to other places with others to sell goods. He was determined to make a comeback, but he was cheated out of all his money by his companions. This led to the current situation at home.

Madam Mo glanced at him, her eyes filled with disappointment.

"It's all my fault. I was deceived and had to sell my house. Now that the deal has been settled, I'll have to run errands for you in the future. You can just take a rest."

"No need. I dare not ask you to do anything else, or I will have to sell my old mother and weak sister to pay off the debt in the future."

Madam Mo said this in a stern voice, and Guan Baolai's ears instantly turned red. He murmured and dared not say anything else.

Du Wenxiu watched this scene quietly.

She would not interfere in other people's affairs.

However, the mother and son did not seem to be evil people. And from what Mrs. Zhang said, it was because this family was too honest that they got into trouble one after another.

She winked at Zhang Yapo secretly, and Zhang Yapo understood and said loudly: "The garden in the backyard is very beautiful. I will take Madam Du to appreciate the flowers."

After saying hello to Madam Mo, he took Du Wenxiu and went straight to the back of the courtyard.

"Madam Zhang, I wonder how Madam Mo's family makes a living now?"

Zhang Yapo knew that Du Wenxiu had something to tell her and thought that Du Wenxiu wanted to take advantage of someone else's trouble to lower the price, so she had been intending to say a few words for the Guan family.

I didn't expect Du Wenxiu to ask like this, and I wasn't sure what she meant.
