Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her
Chapter 287 Contract of Sale
Xiu'er didn't dare tell him about Shen Li, she could only stare at him without saying a word.
He said proudly, "My guess is, they're either buyers sent by the government, deliberately pretending to be guests to observe secretly. Or they're runaways, lying about it, or they have other motives. But no matter what they are, those motives are none of our business. Tomorrow, when I return the earrings to them, I'll just find a way to let them know that the farm doesn't have a title deed. Let's see who dares to buy a farm like this after hearing that."
Xiu'er said softly, "Didn't you say that the government would be able to reissue it in a few years?"
"Yeah, that's a few years away, what's there to be afraid of?" Wang'er said, "With these few years, Brother Dayong would have definitely come out long ago. Besides, the capital will definitely send people over. Just wait, everything will be fine."
Xiu'er wanted to say something, but just as she raised her head, her mouth half open, she froze.
Wang'er turned around curiously and was shocked when he saw what he saw.
These were the cousins whose secrets he was planning to expose.
He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say and was stuck for a moment.
But then Xiu'er said, "Please forgive me, Miss Fang. Wang'er is still young and doesn't know your identity.
Then he said to Wang'er, "This is the person sent by the girl from the capital. Why don't you come forward and greet her?"
The one sent by the girl?
Wang'er was stunned for a moment.
It turned out that my guesses were wrong. These two people were actually from Beijing.
"What are you still standing there for?" Shen Li looked at him with a smile and teased, "Weren't you so aggressive just now, ready to ruin our purchase of the manor?"
Hearing her say this, Wang'er also laughed.
He scratched his head and hurriedly bowed again, "Hello Miss Fang, hello Brother Chu, I am a fool, I don't recognize you."
"That's not a big deal," Shen Li suppressed her smile, waved at the two of them, and said, "Come closer, you can't talk loudly here, it's better to talk closer."
Xiu'er and Wang'er hurried forward.
I don't know why, even though Xiu'er is my sister-in-law and Wang'er is familiar with this place, they both willingly follow Shen Li's arrangements from the bottom of their hearts, and it's so natural.
After all, he is someone who follows the girl from the capital, Xiu'er and Wang'er both thought so.
"Since we're all family, let's talk it out," Shen Li said. "Wang'er, don't do anything tomorrow. Find a reason to go find that jailer Xiu'er mentioned and see if you can find out more. In particular, find out which master ordered the investigation of us, and which master dared to sell the manor even though he knew it had a backer."
Wang'er responded.
"And the pair of earrings you took, I bought them before I came here to give to Brother Dayong and his wife," Shen Li pointed at what was in Wang'er's hand, "They're for Sister Xiu'er, give them to her."
Wang'er quickly handed the thing in his hand to Xiu'er.
Xiu'er wanted to refuse, but Shen Li intercepted her and said, "If I give it to you, take it. But you have to hide it. Don't let others see it, otherwise it will cause trouble."
Turning around, she said to Xiao Chenze, "When Wang'er gets the news tomorrow, I'm afraid we'll have to go to the iron mine right away to take a look."
"Then go." Xiao Chenze said little, and was so calm that Xiu'er and Wang'er were quiet in front of him, not daring to act rashly.
They talked for a while under the moonlight, but seeing that it was getting late, they all calmed down and went back to rest without saying anything more.
The next morning, Sister Hua ran to Shen Li and asked her master's name, job and what she was doing there.
Shen Li smiled and practiced Tai Chi with her, not letting her get a word out of him.
Mrs. Hua felt unhappy now. She forced herself to put on a fake smile and returned to her room in a bad mood.
The house was still the same as when Shen Li and Fang lived here. Brother Dayong was honest and didn't dare to live in the main house. He only reinforced it and repainted the walls when he had money, making it look brand new. He and Xiu'er actually lived in three rooms near the main house.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he got into trouble, Mrs. Hua moved into the main house.
He also told others that this was allowed by the government, and asked her to take good care of the farm. If it was confiscated by the government, it would most likely be sold to her.
When the people in Zhuangzi heard her say this, they were angry but dared not say anything.
As soon as she entered the house, Xiu'er followed her in timidly.
As soon as she came in, she pleaded, "Sister-in-law, what Sister-in-law He said to you a few days ago, that you would give the indenture to anyone who could afford the redemption money, do you still mean it?"
Mrs. Hua blinked her triangular eyes impatiently and frowned, "What's going on? Has she saved enough money?"
"Yes, last time Sister-in-law He said she wanted to redeem herself, her brother seemed to have helped her to gather the money. She was worried that Sister-in-law would change her mind, so she asked me to ask her what she thought. If she didn't change her mind, she asked her brother to send the money over."
Mrs. Hua blinked twice.
Mrs. He's husband is dead, and she has no children to support her. There is no point in keeping them. Anyway, the money they use to redeem themselves will double, so why not make some money?
"I told her that once she had enough money, she could redeem herself and leave. Nothing would change. Just ask her to bring the money."
"That's great," Xiu'er said timidly with a forced smile, "I'll go back and tell her and send a letter to her brother. It should arrive in a few days. Sister-in-law, just prepare the indenture for Sister-in-law He."
"Go and tell them," Sister Hua frowned impatiently and glanced at Xiu'er, "Did you kill a duck to cook for those two people today?"
After asking, without waiting for Xiu'er to reply, she continued to talk to herself, "Forget it, kill them if you want. After all, you have given them silver. I think those two are not from a small family. When you serve them, be careful. Remember to come and tell me what you hear or see. After all, we are a family. If Dayong commits a crime and is arrested, your sister-in-law will not let you be a widow. Don't worry."
Xiu'er tried hard to suppress her hatred, but her expression couldn't look good. She just bowed lightly and turned to leave the main house.
When Mrs. Hua saw her walk out with a gloomy face, she was about to curse her, but then she remembered something and hurried to the door to take a look. Seeing that there was no one outside, she closed the door and went back to her bedroom.
That's why they say she is careful. If no one hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have thought that she actually hid the things under a brick at the foot of the bed.
Fortunately, she was fat and strong, so she was able to lift the bed leg by herself.
Shen Li and Xiao Chenze sat in the space and watched her remove the bricks under the bed. She actually dug a small hole underneath. She wrapped the hole with three layers of oil paper inside and three layers outside, and sprinkled some medicine outside the oil paper.
Xiao Chenze also laughed when he saw this and said, "She even knew to spread rat poison."
Mrs. Hua opened the oil-paper package and found a small box inside. She opened the small box again and found some jewelry and a pile of indentures inside.
