Chapter 108 Crises Come One After Another

At a time like this, are the people who still choose to come here really from the Wu family?

Tang Qi blocked the crowd, got up and went to open the door.

"Is that Landlord Su?" Tang Qi called out into the room.

Su Daguang's face was somewhat unpleasant. He stepped aside, followed by a voluptuous woman.

Su Daguang's wife, Xu, was always a very capable and shrewd woman.

She entered the gate, glanced into the courtyard, and frowned slightly.

However, she quickly regained her composure.

“Scholar Tang, it’s like this, someone wants to buy this courtyard of ours. I’m not an unreasonable person, but if you pay the money, I can sell it to you. It’s a token of our friendship after knowing each other for so many years!” Madam Xu stepped forward and said to Tang Yu.

She spotted Xiao Su Bao at a glance. The little girl was so cute, but her eyes were red, probably because someone had made her cry.

Ms. Xu never had children in her life. She had a strong personality and genuinely loved children.

Seeing Xiao Su Bao's appearance, he frowned.

"Little girl, what's wrong with you?" Xu walked up to Xiao Su Bao, looked at her, and asked with a smile.

Little Su Bao glanced at the aunt and then saw the aunt's dark little belly.

The little baby pursed his lips and hid behind Tang Yu, but couldn't help but peek outside again.

Seeing this, Xu felt even more heartache.

It's just a pity I don't have a son or daughter...

If this little girl were her own daughter, she would definitely cherish her dearly.

"I...I'm fine..." Xiao Su Bao pursed her lips and replied softly.

"Hello, Auntie!" Little Su Bao greeted Madam Xu very politely.

Upon hearing the baby's voice, Madam Xu immediately smiled: "Whose daughter is this? She's so adorable! Tell your auntie, what's your name?"

Little Su Bao's cheeks flushed, and she hid behind Tang Yu even more, saying in a soft and cute little voice, "My name is Su Bao!"

"Su Bao, what a lovely name!" Her smile deepened as she looked at little Su Bao. Normally, she would have held him in her arms and given him a good cuddling session.

But not today!

She's here to talk about serious business!

Xiao Su Bao's face turned even redder, and she shyly hid behind Tang Yu.

Upon seeing this, Madam Qian quickly walked over to her daughter.

Ever since she had her daughter, she always felt like others were trying to take her away from her...

She coughed lightly, and holding the little baby, smiled at Madam Xu and said, "How much silver do you want for this house?"

The Qian family also liked this small courtyard quite a bit. It wasn't too far from the city center and had a large courtyard.

More importantly, this place is spacious, which will be convenient when my older brother gets married!

Xu turned her gaze away and looked at Qian, her eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.

However, he quickly added, "It's quite expensive!"

Su Daguang's face flushed slightly, and he was a little embarrassed. He looked at his wife, opened his mouth as if to say something, but was glared at by her, so he could only squat down and draw circles on the ground.

He was saved by Xiao Su Bao and the others, but now he can't do anything about it.

The other party offered too much money, and his wife made the decisions; he couldn't resist at all...

Seeing Qian's wariness towards her, Xu smiled instead.

She walked to the side and sat on the stone steps, watching Qian Shi holding Xiao Su Bao, feeling a little envious.

However, what he said was, "Five hundred taels..."

Ms. Qian was stunned, gasped, and thought she had misheard.

She has so much money!

But buying this little courtyard is not worth it at all!

She wasn't a fool.

This kind of small courtyard can't possibly sell for five hundred taels of silver. Even if it's a bit bigger, it'll only fetch one or two hundred taels at most...

But the fact that the other party gave so much money shows that they were deliberately trying to cut off their escape route.

“If you also offer five hundred taels, I can sell the courtyard to you, but…”

A hint of helplessness flashed in Xu's eyes.

"Even if you give them the money, it will be difficult for you to live in An County. You have offended the Wu family, and they are not kind people..." There were some things she couldn't say too clearly.

Little Su Bao clenched her fists tightly, a hint of sadness in her eyes.

The little boy subconsciously glanced at his uncle and fourth brother.

Disappointment and sadness were written on their faces.

Little Su Bao pursed her lips, deciding that she would leave them today, so that her mother and the others wouldn't be kicked out...

"They said they'd let you move out tonight, and they'd give me an extra hundred taels, making it six hundred taels of silver..."

Xu looked at the crowd. These people were old and young. Now that it was getting dark, it would be difficult for them to find a place to stay.

Sure enough, Madam Qian's expression changed slightly, and she looked quite unwell.

After all, even if they are willing to move out, it's not like they can leave immediately!

There have been bandits outside the city recently, so things are not peaceful.

She didn't want anything to happen while she was out with the children.

But she also realized that the Su couple were probably being threatened by the Wu family as well.

Madam Qian frowned, unable to think of a good solution for the time being.

"Wife, this won't do! We can't repay kindness with enmity. If they hadn't saved me, you would be a widow!" Su Daguang couldn't help but tug at his wife's sleeve and said.

Su Daguang dotes on his wife and usually listens to her.

But at this moment, he simply couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart...

Xu rolled her eyes at her own foolish husband. He looked fierce, but he was actually brainless and only had brute strength.

She has no children, but she's counting on a man!

"Shut up!" Xu said disdainfully.

Su Daguang was scolded, and immediately shrank back and started drawing circles.

It's a good thing it's so tall.

Xu ignored the foolish man and turned to look at the Qian family.

"It's not that we're unwilling to help you, but the people you've offended are too ruthless. We ordinary folks can't fight against them. However, you can stay at the Yunlai Inn for a day and leave tomorrow... I'll pay for it!"

Even a low-class room at Yunlai Inn costs ten taels of silver per day.

A mid-class room costs fifty taels of silver per day, while a superior room costs one hundred taels of silver per day...

This is just the price in Anxian County, a poor and remote area.

However, their backer is very powerful and has some ability. No matter who they are, as long as they stay at Yunlai Restaurant, they will be protected.

She was quite generous, spending fifty taels of silver to rent a medium-sized guest room for them. The medium-sized guest room had two small bedrooms, which was enough for all of them.

Little Su Bao was also stunned. She looked up at the aunt whose belly was dark but whose whole person was extremely warm.

"How is it?" Xu asked, looking at Qian.
