He asked, "What do you want to do?"
Young Master Wu replied: "Xiao Hanzheng doesn't have a good relationship with the people in the Xiao family's old house."
"I heard that the people in the Xiao family were selling their land and houses, and they wanted to go to the capital to look for General Weiyuan."
He curled his lips and said, "With the cannibalistic nature of those people in the Xiao family, if they knew that Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo had earned 600 taels from us, I think they would definitely make a scene."
Ever since he set his sights on the little black ball, he has focused on investigating the details of Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo.
If Xiao Hanzheng was not a top three scholar, he would be very favored by several teachers in the county school, and he also had a father who was a great general Weiyuan and had severed ties with his family.
In addition, the county magistrate with a powerful background named Mo came again.
In the past, he would not spend money to buy it. He would just ask someone to disguise as a bandit, rob the person and then kill him, and nothing would happen.
He didn't think that Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo would take the initiative to tell others about their earnings of six hundred taels.
Why not let him help them spread the word?
By then, not only the Xiao family but also the thieves might be targeted.
Patriarch Wu smiled sinisterly and agreed: "This is a good idea."
"You can arrange for someone to tell the people in Old Xiao's family."
Young Master Wu nodded, "Okay."
In the village.
Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo left the village chief's house.
This is the time when the villagers finish their farm work and go home one after another.
When I meet people who like gossip, I can't help but ask them if they have something to do at the clan leader's house.
Xiao Hanzheng then told him that he had received six hundred taels and that his family was going to buy land and build a house.
This was something he and his young wife had discussed. He would tell everyone about this matter to prevent the Wu family from causing trouble and to stop the villagers from having any wild thoughts.
The villagers standing nearby and passing by were shocked to hear this.
I was even more completely confused. Six hundred taels was such a large amount.
Did Xiao Xiucai marry a golden baby? As for what the old Taoist priest left behind that could be sold for six hundred taels, no one was that curious or surprised.
After all, he was an old immortal, so how could the things he left behind not be valuable? Fortunately, the folk customs in Xiaxi Village were good, and most of the villagers were simple and honest.
Especially since Xiao Hanzheng is a scholar with unlimited potential, his identity is completely different from everyone else.
Even if he doesn't discriminate against us, we still have a natural awe of him.
So although the villagers were envious, they were not jealous or hateful.
Soon the news spread throughout the village.
It caused another sensation.
Everyone also had a feeling in their hearts that Xiao Hanzheng's wife was not only blessed, but also a golden child.
Why didn't they think of marrying her back then?
The old house of the Xiao family.
When Old Lady Xiao and the others heard this, their eyes turned red with jealousy.
"That damn girl is really amazing. She made 600 taels just by selling the things left by the old immortal."
Wu rolled her eyes and encouraged the old lady, "Mother, they didn't have the money to buy our house and land before, but now they have it."
"We haven't signed the contract for the land we sold yet, so it's not too late to regret."
Wang and others also thought it made sense.
The key point is that they still want to make a killing from Xiao Hanzheng and the others, six hundred taels.
Old Madam Xiao stood up and said, "I'll go find Zheng'er now."
Wang and Wu also stood up, looking as if they were going to follow.
Who knew that as soon as he reached the door, he met Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng who happened to be coming to the old house.
Old Lady Xiao rarely forced out a kind smile, "Zheng'er, you're here."
"Come in and sit down."
Everyone was thinking, how to kill the two men?
At least three hundred taels, right? Four hundred taels would be best.
Who knew that as soon as they sat down, Shi Qingluo was the first to speak: "I suggest that you sell your old house and land separately and quickly."
Old Mrs. Xiao frowned, "Why sell them separately? If we sell them together, we can redeem them when we come back in the future."
Shi Qingluo looked at her with a look as if to ask why didn't you realize it.
"If you sell it to someone, General Xiao can just send someone to threaten you and redeem the house and land immediately, and then find an excuse to send you back."
"If he sold them to several different families, and they cultivated the land and moved into the houses, he couldn't threaten each family one by one to redeem the land and houses, right?"
"That would lead to gossip. He wouldn't do such a thing."
Not only do we have to cut off the Xiao family's escape route, but we also have to be on guard against the possibility that the scumbag father will take the initiative to send people to redeem the land and house, and then take advantage of the opportunity to throw the people back immediately.
Old Mrs. Xiao's smile froze, as if it made sense.
"I actually want to sell it to you." She was still unwilling.
Shi Qingluo sneered, "We are all smart people. Do you think we would be stupid enough to buy the old house and the land of Lao Xiao's family? Then let you come back to make trouble in the future?"
"Don't worry about our six hundred taels. We need to buy a house and build a house. We also need to renovate the old house and use it as a tofu workshop. This money is barely enough."
She added bluntly: "Don't be dazzled by the small amount of money in front of you. We only have 600 taels. I don't know how many 600 taels are waiting for you in the General's Mansion."
"Your precious son and daughter-in-law spend 10 to 20 taels of silver for a meal, and 30 to 40 taels a day."
"Our six hundred taels are not enough to feed them for a month."
“So you have to take a long-term view.”
She and her husband anticipated that once the news of the six hundred taels got out, the Xiao family's elite would try to cause trouble again, or they would be used by the Wu family.
It would be better for them to go there and suppress it themselves.
Even if the Wu family does something bad, it would be like hitting cotton.
When the people of the Xiao family heard what Shi Qingluo said, they immediately turned from being jealous of their six hundred taels to being jealous of the two people in the rich general's mansion in the capital who were so extravagant.
Xiao Hanzheng also said, "Grandpa, grandma, uncle, third uncle, you know my temper. My money is not so easy to take."
People from Old Xiao’s family: “…” I almost forgot that this person is also cruel and ruthless.
Before they separated and severed their relationship, they were unable to control Xiao Hanzheng and were instead beaten up.
It's really not easy to think about his money.
Shi Qingluo also smiled and added, "The General's Mansion still has mountains of gold and silver waiting for you to spend. Six hundred taels is nothing."
"You can't let General Xiao and his wife take advantage of the situation and find an excuse to bring you back."
"You really have no place to live, no land to survive on. Just show your filial piety and the general will not dare to chase you away."
She threatened again, "You want me to continue to give you advice and turn the General's Mansion into your world. How should you choose? You are so smart, you should understand, right?"
The people in the Xiao family looked at each other.
What the dead girl said does make sense.
The key is that they still have to rely on the dead girl for advice, otherwise they will not be able to defeat those two evil-hearted and unfilial people.
The old man gave the old lady a look.
Old Madam Xiao gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, let's sell it to a few more families."
In fact, I have already made arrangements with several companies and originally wanted to go back on my word, but it seems that it is not possible now.
Compared with the mountains of gold and silver in the general's mansion, six hundred taels are nothing.
Ahem, I still feel so distressed! Shi Qingluo gave her an admiring look and coaxed her: "I admire you, old lady, for being so decisive and smart. In the future, you will definitely be the highest-ranking old lady in the general's mansion."
Old Mrs. Xiao puffed out her chest proudly after being praised, “That’s right.”
Of course she was a smart woman, otherwise how could she give birth to a son who became a general, and her son gave birth to a grandson who could read.
