Chapter 1020 Chickens Fighting Each Other

Li didn't want to go, but Liang wouldn't allow her to slack off. Without saying a word, she dragged her into the kitchen.

Li was furious, but there was nothing she could do. She could only help tend the fire and cook the noodles, feeling utterly disgusted.

But she didn't vomit for long; she couldn't resist her curiosity about the house and asked, "Third sister-in-law, did you really buy that house? Where did you buy it? How much did it cost?"

Liang knew she wouldn't be able to resist, so she shook her head triumphantly, very smug. She put the pot lid on with one hand and put her hands on her hips with the other, saying, "I bought it. It's huge. All the rooms together are almost twenty. It's bigger than your house and mine in Shangshi Village combined. Tsk tsk, that house, I liked it to death the moment I saw it."

She gestured as she spoke, "I've thought it all out. From now on, the main house will be just for the two of us. The left wing will be for Da Bao, so it will be spacious enough for him to live in when he gets married. The right wing will be for Bao Ya as her bedroom, so even after she gets married, it will be reserved for her so she can come home anytime."

"By the way, we still have a few rooms in the back row that are currently empty. But later, we can hire two servants to help with cooking, cleaning, and tidying up, so I won't be so tired."

"Ah, this life is wonderful, just thinking about it makes me happy. With such a big house, I have something to look forward to."

As Liang spoke, she glanced sideways at Li and saw that the veins on Li's hand, which was holding a fire poker, were bulging, and she looked very angry. This made Liang feel even more at ease.

"Oh, you're asking me how much it cost? Not much, just two hundred and fifty-five taels."

Li suddenly raised her head, "How much?"

“Two hundred and fifty-five taels.” Madam Liang looked at me with an expression that said, “You really haven’t seen the world, you’re making a big fuss over nothing.” “Originally, they were asking for two hundred and eighty. I thought, I really like that house, so two hundred and eighty is fine. We’re not short of a few dozen taels of silver, right? But Ayu helped me bargain down the price.”

Li was so angry she laughed. How could this person be so despicable?

When did she become so generous, not even caring about two hundred taels of silver?

No, the third brother and his wife didn't do business or find any treasure, so where did they get so much money?

Li squinted and put down the fire poker. "Third sister-in-law, did you borrow this money from the second son's family?"

“That’s right. Ayu said that buying a house is a very smart choice for us. Besides, the men in our family can earn money, so Ayu isn’t worried about not being able to pay it back. Sister-in-law, you’re different from me. You and your brother are just tending to that little plot of land. Even if you live for another twenty or thirty years, you still won’t be able to save up this much money, right? Don’t be so desperate as to ask Ayu for a loan, or you’ll put her in a difficult position.”

“You…” Li picked up the fire poker again, and she even wanted to throw it at Liang and kill her.

Liang snorted. In the past, when she and her husband didn't do any work, it was always this sister-in-law who would make sarcastic remarks about them. Now it was her turn, and it felt so good!

However, Li suddenly laughed, "Who says we can't save that much money? If I can't, I have two sons, especially Da Niu, who is quite capable now. Didn't A Yu buy over a hundred acres of land and a manor? Da Niu and his wife manage all that land; they're practically landlords now."

Liang's hand, which was lifting the lid, suddenly stopped. "What did you say? Da Niu is managing the estate that A Yu bought?"

Li laughed, "Oh, you didn't know?"
