Chapter 299 Buying the Inn
After hearing this, Shen Wan was so shocked that she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
"Auntie, are you sure you want me to be the matchmaker?" She pointed at the tip of her nose, seriously suspecting that she had heard it wrong.
Aren't matchmakers supposed to be elderly women? Why did this old lady choose her?
The villain's face darkened and he refused decisively: "She won't go!"
"How could you, young man, have such a bad temper?" the old lady said, immediately becoming anxious. "Being a matchmaker is a good deed, so why are you refusing?"
Why?
Is there any need to ask?
Xie Mubai held Shen Wan's waist, not wanting to even glance at the old woman.
If he didn't hit women, he really wanted to kick her.
"Mom, what are you doing?" At this time, the boss rushed over and said, "I told you, you can't do that!"
"Mrs. He is so young and beautiful, how could she possibly fall for a poor and ugly man like me!"
Madam He?
It turned out to be her!
After hearing this, Shen Wan subconsciously exchanged a glance with Xie Mubai.
No wonder the mother and son were so good to Madam He, giving her both the screen and the milk sheep. It turned out they had this in mind.
I have to say that this boss has a very good vision.
Madam He is gentle yet tough, and she is very opinionated in her actions. Whoever marries her is truly blessed.
When the old lady heard what her son said, she expressed her dissatisfaction.
She stiffened her neck and shouted at the top of her voice, "How can you be poor? You are a respectable innkeeper!"
"What boss?" The boss couldn't help but laugh and cry. "Mom, look at this inn. It's been a long time since a guest came."
"To be honest, I've already spread the word that I'm going to sell it off."
"But it's been several months, and there's not even a single buyer, let alone one who's inquiring."
Canyang Town is extremely remote, and those rich people are not stupid. Even if they are idle or bored, they will not buy an inn in such a remote place.
What are you buying it for?
Falling dust?
Upon hearing this, Shen Wan’s eyes lit up: “Uncle, are you really going to sell this inn?”
"You want to buy it?" The boss's eyes widened like copper bells when he heard it.
Shen Wan had long wanted to buy another house nearby. He Niangzi and others made firecrackers in the backyard, and usually ate and lived in the front yard.
It looks convenient, but it actually poses a safety hazard.
The adults are fine, they are usually very careful in their work, but the children are not so good.
Xiaobao and Afu are at the age of being naughty now. If they sneak into the backyard and play with fire or something, the consequences will be unimaginable.
So she asked everyone to move out, and as for the workshop, Niu Dazhuang was left alone to guard the door at night.
"Yeah!" Shen Wan smiled and nodded.
When the boss heard this, he almost jumped for joy: "I don't want much, twenty taels of silver, is that okay with you?"
Twenty taels?
Although this inn is a bit old, the walls and other things are still in good condition. After taking over, it only needs some minor repairs.
Shen Wan was secretly calculating.
"How about... eighteen taels!" Seeing that she remained silent, the boss asked tentatively.
Anyway, this inn is empty for twenty-nine days a month, so it might as well be sold for some money.
Shen Wan thought for a moment and said, “Let’s just give it twenty taels, but it’s better for you and Auntie to move in as well.”
"You know, making firecrackers is more or less dangerous."
"You live next to a small workshop, so it's inevitable that you will be affected."
Hearing this, the boss couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
"But this place... is really too bad." Looking at his own shabby inn, he said with some lack of confidence.
"It's okay, we can find someone to fix it." Shen Wan smiled, "Madam He and Ah Fu Niang will also move in, but with so many children, it might be a little noisy."
When she heard that Madam He was also coming, the old lady agreed without even thinking: "Move, you must move, I, the old woman, have the final say on this matter!"
"You can use that old house as a warehouse, and I won't charge you for it!"
When the boss heard this, he hurriedly pulled her sleeve.
Even if others don’t know about that shabby inn, doesn’t he know about it?
It leaks when it's windy and when it rains, how can it be a place for people to live?
"Don't pull me!" The old lady slapped his hand away and said angrily, "I'm going to live here anyway, it's up to you whether you want to come or not!"
Although she was illiterate, she knew the saying "the one who is close to the water gets the moon first".
Living under the same roof, they see each other every day, and she just doesn't believe that there won't be some sparks between her son and Madam He.
My son is already in his forties. If I, as his mother, don’t find a solution, he will probably be single for the rest of his life.
"Let's talk about this later." The boss thought for a moment and looked at Shen Wan with a smile, "Let's sign the contract first."
The longer the night, the more dreams you have.
If he delayed any further, he was afraid that the little girl would change her mind.
Shen Wan nodded.
When Wu Ye learned that Shen Wan wanted to buy a house, he came over to help write the contract.
After Shen Wan pressed her fingerprint on the contract, she gave the silver to the boss.
While the Fifth Master was out, she lowered her voice and said, "You can't be anxious about Madam He."
"Her man just died. She probably isn't in the mood to think about this right now."
"I know." The boss looked around and lowered his voice. "A few days ago, my mother kept urging me to marry you, so I just used Madam He as a shield."
"Don't tell Madam He about this, lest she gets angry."
"I swear, I was just saying it casually. I don't have any bad intentions towards Madam He!"
Although his family was poor, they still had water.
With my ugly face, how can I match with Madam He who is as beautiful as a flower bud?
Shen Wan asked curiously, "Then why are you so kind to Madam He and even buy a dairy sheep for the child?"
"Okay?" The boss looked surprised. "I do this to everyone."
Yeah?
It is true that the boss is kind-hearted, but he seems to be particularly concerned about Madam He.
Shen Wan thought about it and said nothing more.
Forget it, let it be.
They are all adults, so they should handle their relationship issues on their own.
I have to say, this boss is really kind-hearted.
With his help, the inn was quickly renovated.
Shen Wan reserved one room for herself and Xie Mubai, and the rest were left for everyone to choose.
"We'll live in this room!" Ah Fu said happily, holding Xiao Bao's hand. "There's a big tree in the backyard. We can catch cicadas there in the future."
Ah Fu's mother saw this and quickly pulled Ah Fu to her side: "No, children can't live alone, you should sleep with me."
Although there are many rooms in this inn, she doesn’t want to cause trouble for Shen Wan.
"Actually, now that Ah Fu is old enough, we can sleep in separate rooms." Shen Wan said with a smile.
After hearing this, Master Wu smiled and said, "If Ah Fu Niang is worried, let them live with me."
"There's a suite at the very back. Let them sleep inside, and I'll sleep outside."
"Young Madam is right. Boys really need to live in separate rooms from their mothers when they grow up."
Seeing that Fifth Master also said so, Afu's mother no longer objected.
Everyone had chosen their favorite room, but only the old lady, Uncle Wu, and the two children moved in.
Madam He is still in confinement after giving birth, so it is really inconvenient to move.
And Afu's mother had to take care of her, so naturally she didn't come.
"Young Madam, are you really leaving?" Madam He held Shen Wan's hand and asked reluctantly.
Although she has not yet finished her confinement, after treatment, her complexion has become rosy and her figure has become much fuller.
Shen Wan smiled and said, "It's already early winter. If we don't leave now, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the Northwest before the New Year."
In fact, it didn’t matter whether she went to the Northwest before the New Year or not, she was in a hurry to go to Xiejiazhuang.
That's the villain's lair, and it would be troublesome if anything went wrong there.
When Madam He heard this, tears welled up in her eyes.
"I've already written a letter to the Qin family caravan, and they'll be here to pick up the goods soon."
"The New Year is coming soon, I guess you'll be busy."
Madam He's eyes were red, and she choked up as she said, "Don't worry, Madam. Even if it costs me my life, I will take good care of this place."
"I don't want you to fight to the death!" Shen Wan heard this, and the smile on her face became even brighter. "No matter what time, talent is the most important."
"After the confinement period, you can move to the inn with the child. Wu Ye can read, so let him teach Xiao Bao and Ah Fu there."
"As for Xiaozhu, I will leave some nutrient solution for her."
"Although this child was born prematurely, she will be fine as long as she is taken care of properly."
Seeing that this little woman was so thoughtful of her, Madam He felt her nose sore.
She thought about it and asked tentatively, "Is it not a good idea for me to move there? I heard the mother and son next door also moved there."
