146 Want to Buy a House
Divine Doctor Xue tugged at Third Aunt Hu’s beans. This variety of beans was very special. They had to be sown in early spring. After being drenched in a few spring rains, they would grow very quickly.
It had just bloomed and some had grown some small seeds.
It was not ripe yet.
“Damn it, even if it’s ripe, it’s fine if he ate it. It hasn’t ripened yet. Isn’t this a waste of food?!”
Third Aunt Hu became angrier and angrier as she spoke. She simply sat on the big rock outside Old Wang’s house, holding the beanstalk in her hand and cursing.
Old Madam Wang was naturally unhappy and came out to argue with her.
Then, she pushed Divine Doctor Xue in front of her. “Who caused this trouble? Take it up with the culprit . This isn’t someone from my family. Do whatever you want!”
“Isn’t this the divine doctor you invited back? His mistakes are naturally up to your family to manage. There’s no need to say anything else. You have to compensate me. Our entire family is waiting for this food. Do you want to starve us to death!”
Old Madam Wang did not care about this. “I don’t have time to argue with you now. Either you drag that old man away, or you leave yourself!”
This crazy old man was staying at home and not leaving. Old Madam Wang also felt a headache.
It was really easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away.
Divine Doctor Xue was pulled by Little Ah Yu to wash his hands. There was no way to change his clothes.
Originally, he was someone who had been taken out of a beggar’s den. His clothes were also tattered. The others in the Wang Family did not know about Divine Doctor Xue’s background. After he “treated” Old man Wang and Wang Chuangui, they even specially changed his clothes.
Of course, Old Madam Wang did not allow it later.
Third Aunt Hu was really angry. She wanted to shout a few more times, but Bian Dan came over to call her.
“Grandma, Third Uncle is back!”
Her Third Brother has returned. It had been a few months, so Third Aunt Hu could only leave reluctantly.
“Donkey Zhang, let me tell you, this matter isn’t over. I’ll look for you later!”
Old Madam Wang sneered. “Alright, I’ll wait for you to look for me. Coincidentally, I heard that those gossiping matchmakers have been arrested. I still want to ask the officials what the crime of spouting nonsense with other outsiders in the village is.”
Back then, she had spread rumors about Old Madam Wang. This was something that Third Aunt Hu would always be ashamed of.
“You’re still talking about the past. You’re too boring!” Third Aunt Hu knew that she was in the wrong, so she left with Bian Dan.
The incident caused by Divine Doctor Xue also reminded Old Madam Wang to quickly get rid of Divine Doctor Xue.
Wang Chuangui heard the commotion outside and slowly walked out.
Madam Ma was originally drying clothes in the courtyard. When she turned around, she saw Wang Chuangui walking out. She was so frightened that the clothes in her hand fell to the ground.
“Husband, you can walk now?!”
When Wang Chuangui felt that he could walk, he had secretly practiced it himself. Madam Ma had never seen it before.
It was said that it took 100 days to recover from a serious injury. How long has it been?
Has it been a month?
Since he could walk, this meant that Divine Doctor Xue was still very capable.
At this moment, Madam Ma had long forgotten that Old man Wang had already begun to walk a few days ago.
However, his performance was too natural. Everyone in the village thought that his leg had not been broken and that he had just recuperated through some method.
Seeing his wife cry from excitement, Wang Chuangui was very moved. “It’s been hard on you for the past few years.”
If not for Madam Ma’s efforts to hold up the family on her own, their second branch would definitely have the hardest time among the four brothers.
Although the family was not distinctly split up, sometimes, the various branches still had to deal with the trivial matters themselves.
Madam Ma wiped her tears. “Husband, what are you talking about? We’re family. What’s so hard about it? I’m happier than anything else that your legs have recovered!”
Wang Erlang had just returned from his lesson with Old Master Hu. From afar, he saw Wang Chuangui in the courtyard, and his eyes seemed to have lit up.
“Father, has your leg recovered?” Wang Erlang asked.
“Yes, it’s much better now. I can walk, but I can’t jump yet.” Wang Chuangui was rarely humorous.
The second branch’s family comforted each other in the courtyard. The scene was very harmonious.
Until Old Madam Wang’s voice sounded.
“Why are you all gathered there? Don’t you have anything serious to do? Erlang, you came back at the right time. Take care of your younger siblings at home,” Old Madam Wang said. “I’m going out for a while.”
She could also bring Wang Chuangui along.
Wang Chuangui’s legs had long recovered. He was no different from a normal person now. He had to make the best use of his talents.
Old Madam Wang was bringing Wang Chuangui to town.
When Little Ah Yu saw this, she ran over and asked, “Grandma, where are you going?”
Old Madam Wang said, “Grandma is going to town. Be good and stay at home and play with your brothers.”
“Can Ah Yu come along?” Before Old Madam Wang could answer, Little Ah Yu shook her head. “Forget it, forget it. Grandma definitely has something important to do. Ah Yu won’t disturb you anymore!”
Old Madam Wang thought for a moment and brought Little Ah Yu along.
This time, she was preparing to buy a house in town.
It was not a good thing to stay in the village and farm. They had to leave the village eventually. There was no school in the village, but there was one in town.
Taking advantage of the fact that their family was rich now, it was more important to buy a house early.
Little Ah Yu ran over to Qin Huai and said, “Brother Ah You, we’re going to the town. Do you have anything I can bring back for you?”
Qin Huai: “Why are you going to the town? To sell candied haws?”
Now, the Wang Family would go to the town to sell candied haws every other days, but Little Ah Yu no longer followed them. The grandsons of the Wang Family took turns to go in pairs. Sometimes, three of them would go together.
They did not sell many either. Usually, they only sold 30 to 40 sticks. Sometimes, if they were lucky, they would run into a market day and clear their stock before they reached the town.
“I don’t know. Grandma is going to the town, so I’m going too!” Little Ah Yu said. “The town is very fun. Big Brother Ah You, let’s go together next time!”
Qin Huai thought for a moment and did not follow.
In any case, he had some subordinates in town, and he had already specially asked them to protect the Wang family.
Nothing should happen.
He should stay at home and practice more martial arts.
No matter how powerful his subordinates were, that was still their ability. When he was capable enough, he would bring Ah Yu out to play.
Little Ah Yu did not know that Qin Huai had already begun to make plans to go sightseeing together with her after they grew up.
Wang Chuangui’s mood improved as well. Along the way, he carried Little Ah Yu to town.
When they arrived in the town, Old Madam Wang went straight to look for the agent.
The agent was a male in his forties. When he heard that someone was coming to buy a house, he didn’t even want to finish the food in his mouth.
“Aiyo, this is really a good thing. There aren’t many people coming to buy houses now!”
The town was too small. The houses of the various families were basically passed down from their ancestors. Very few people would think of selling their houses.
This was equivalent to a business not having any customers for three years, but once a customer appeared, the profits would be enough to last them half a year.
They would think of a way for the remaining two and a half years.
He had to have other sources of income. Otherwise, he would starve to death if he relied on selling houses.
“Old Madam, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. It’s not easy to buy or sell houses right now, so if you really want to buy it, I’ll definitely introduce the best for you. I guarantee that you’ll be satisfied with the price!”
Old Madam Wang did not listen to him at all. “What houses are there? Bring me to take a look.”
