The neighbors present secretly cursed Yang Chunniang in their hearts, saying that she was more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything.

I could have had a free banquet, but now the hot pot banquet is gone.

Lu Jiao deliberately led them to misunderstand.

She would be going to the northwest soon, so she had no time to find a family to act with her within a few days.

I originally wanted to move in secretly, and then bring people back after she came back, but I didn’t expect the family across the street to be so kind!

Lu Jiao noticed the displeasure on everyone's faces, and took out the red deed of the house from his arms, or actually from the space, and spread it out to show everyone.

He deliberately avoided Yang Chunniang.

"Just now this lady said that I was a burglar, but I don't dare to accept such a charge.

I also ask all the neighbors to be witnesses for me."

As he said this, he took out Jiao Qi's household registration from his arms.

"The owner of the household above, Jiao Huai, is the boy's father. I will go to Beijing first, and they will follow later."

Lu Jiao held the house deed in his hand and allowed everyone to only look at it and not touch it.

This made Yang Chunniang very anxious. She even wanted to find some faults: "Why, you don't dare to show it to me, are you hiding something?"

Before Lu Jiao could reply, a neighbor chimed in: "Yang Chunniang, please calm down! Everyone knows that you have been eyeing this house for a long time!

Now that it has been bought by Brother Jiao, you are just picking on it, right? "

"Who's picking on me? I'm just asking the owner of the market to see if there are any suspicious strangers in Baishi Lane!"

Yang Chunniang felt a little guilty at first, but her voice became louder and louder as she spoke, as if she really had this purpose.

After Lu Jiao showed everyone the house deed and household registration, he ignored Yang Chunniang and bowed to everyone.

"Don't worry, everyone. I will take my servants to settle down today, and I will report to the market owner tomorrow.

I am new here, so if there is anything inappropriate, please forgive me.

When my father arrives in Beijing, I will set up a house-warming banquet, and I hope all the neighbors will come and show their favor!"

"That's natural!"

Jiao Qi did not vent his anger on other people because of Yang Chunniang's rudeness. Although he didn't know when his father would be able to come to Beijing, he had said it, so it should not be a lie.

Everyone's favorable impression of the Jiao family increased a lot.

"It's getting late, you guys should go in and get settled!"

A man in a coarse cotton shirt answered, "Yes, yes, you are new here, if you have anything you don't know, just come and knock on my door!"

Yang Chunniang rolled her eyes at Yuan Daliang and said, "The Jiao family just moved in, and you're already trying to flatter them. Aren't you afraid that Jiao Qi is just bragging?

Maybe his family is just some poor family that came to Beijing to seek refuge, and he is not afraid of getting into trouble."

"you!"

Lu Jiao ignored Yang Chunniang and said to the man, "Uncle, what should I call you?

Come to think of it, I really have something I want to ask you, could you please come in and talk?"

The man rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, turned around and said to his wife who was standing by the gate, "Wife, you go back first. I'll go see what's going on and come back later."

"okay!"

Lu Jiao nodded to everyone and walked into the yard with the man. Liu the Shorty also gave the neighbors a simple smile and shut out all the inquiring eyes from outside the door.

There was nothing exciting to watch, so everyone dispersed and no one paid any attention to Yang Chunniang.

She didn't expect that Yuan Daliang was really invited in by that brat just because of a few words.

Unfortunately, they were all men, and the only little girl looked only five or six years old.

Otherwise she would definitely follow in and listen to what they said.

At this moment, her son Chang You's voice suddenly came from behind: "Mom, have you had enough of the trouble? Dad will be back soon!"

Yang Chunniang was frightened and twisted Chang You's ear angrily, dragging him back: "Eat, eat, eat. All you do all day long is eat. I owe you all the family!"

The Chang family is in chaos, and the neighbors have become accustomed to it.

But in Jiao's house, there was another harmonious scene.

Only then did Liu the Dwarf realize that the young master would be going out on business in a few days and would not be at home for most of the year.

The entire front yard was given to them.

They are also allowed to grow vegetables and raise chickens in the open space in the front yard, as long as they don't make the place smelly.

Yuan Daliang did not treat Liu the Shorty any differently just because he was a servant of the Jiao family, and he treated him as a brother.

Lu Jiao interrupted them and said, "Uncle Yuan, you see, they came here without bringing anything except some clothes.

Do you know which one is more affordable, the grocery store or the clothing store in the square? "

Yuan Daliang slapped himself on the head so hard that Lu Jiao felt the pain for him.

"Look at me, I forgot you have something important to do! Well, I happen to be free today, I'll take you to buy these things!"

"Is twenty taels of silver enough?"

Yuan Daliang was shocked and thought that Jiao Qi, the master, was really generous. It was just to buy some bedding, clothes, and some coarse porcelain bowls and plates. Why would he need twenty taels of silver?

"That's enough! Even if we buy another big iron pot, it will be more than enough!"

Lu Jiao didn't care about this little bit of silver, nodded and said, "You guys go, I still have to go back to the inn.

Don't forget to buy some food. Just eat as much as you want. I don't need this little money.

You can keep the remaining money for your daily expenses.

See you at Huichun Hall tomorrow."

Shorty Liu nodded repeatedly, and the four of them watched Lu Jiao leave.

When Lu Jiao's figure disappeared at the end of the alley, Yuan Daliang said with emotion: "Your master is a good person!"

"That's right..." Just as Liu the Dwarf was about to say something good about his master, Liu Shuanzhu gently tugged at the corner of his clothes.

"Dad, it's getting late, let's go buy something!"

Shorty Liu slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, yes, yes!"

After Liu the Shorty and Yuan Daliang left, Liu Shuanzhu closed the door and bolted it.

I started cleaning the house with my sister.

Although she sold herself to the Jiao family, it didn't seem bad. It was just that it would be difficult for her to continue her studies in the future.

Lu Jiao had no idea about Liu Shuanzhu's troubles. At this moment, she sneaked into Zhuo Qi's restaurant through the back door.

The waiter had seen Lu Jiao and knew that he was a good friend of his boss. He watched him go up to the third floor and then went to the lobby to find Zhuo Qi.

It was dinner time, and guests from other markets all wanted to finish their meals and go home before curfew.

So the lobby is very busy at the moment.

Zhuo Qi, the boss, was also busy behind the counter.

After hearing the waiter's message, he no longer cared about the work in his hands and hurried to the third floor.

"Sir, you are here!"

Lu Jiao sat in the same seat as last time, looking at the bustling crowds on both sides of the Yongming Canal downstairs.

Some were washing clothes, some were fetching water. It was very lively.

Hearing Zhuo Qi's voice, Lu Jiao turned around and asked, "Did the person who caused trouble before come again?"

Zhuo Qi was stunned and shook his head woodenly.

It seemed like that group of people hadn't appeared for several days.

The restaurant business has been good recently, and there is a shortage of staff in the store, so he has to be very busy.

I didn't expect that I overlooked such a big thing.
