Chapter 70 The logical choice!
"Butler Zheng, could you please help me arrange this? I'd like to meet those three kidnappers in private and ask them a few questions."
The old man's words made Butler Zheng a little confused.
In theory, this is not a difficult task. Just give some bribes to the county jail.
He tentatively replied, "Old man, this isn't difficult, but you know it's a prison after all, and the three kidnappers haven't been tried yet. If they don't, they might lose their lives..."
The old man quickly waved his hand and said with a smile, "Butler Zheng misunderstood. I just couldn't understand why a few kidnappers targeted my girl, so I wanted to ask a few questions to be on the safe side. I won't do anything to them anymore. After all, they have committed a serious crime and will die sooner or later."
"Yes, that's right!" Butler Zheng was relieved and said with a smile, "Then I'll wait for you at the yamen gate at early noon tomorrow. See you there!"
"See you later!" Old Master Tai thanked them, and when he saw that the carriage was empty, he saw Butler Zheng and his party off.
Before the convoy even got on the dirt road, the onlookers couldn't help but shout questions, especially the villagers from Liujia Village and Zhangjia Village.
"Uncle Tai, which wealthy family is sending this thank-you gift? This is too generous!"
"That's right, Uncle Six has made a fortune!"
"If Sixth Uncle has any way to make money, he must help us!"
How could Mr. Tai not guess what they were thinking, but he wouldn't say much.
Although Zhuzhu was only three years old, being kidnapped was always shameful, especially since it involved the young master of the Zheng family.
So, he just casually replied, "I'm sorry to have worried everyone, but it's actually nothing serious. Yesterday, I took Zhuzhu to the city to buy buns. Zhuzhu ran away because she was playing. When I came back to find her, I saved a child from a wealthy family.
"They were very polite and took into consideration our poor family life, so they only sent us some food and daily necessities."
Of course, the truth is not that simple. It may be okay for others, but everyone in Taijia Village knows about the thrilling experience last night.
But over the past few months, they have been taught to be much more cautious. They only talk within the village and are very careful with outsiders.
Therefore, no one stood up and exposed the old man's cover-up at this moment.
People from other villages were curious and wanted to ask more details, but unfortunately, Mr. Tai didn't intend to say much. He just exchanged a few words and went in.
Mr. Tai Sanye quickly followed him in, leaving Tai Jiye and others to greet them.
"Sixth Brother, there are quite a lot of these things!" Uncle Tai San walked around the room full of baskets twice, with envy on his face, but more of worry.
"Sixth Brother, what are you going to do? There are so many people watching outside. If we don't handle it well, it will easily arouse jealousy and cause trouble for the family. But last night was a thrilling time, and rescuing the young master of the Zheng family was not easy. This is what you deserve, and you shouldn't give it away..."
Old Man Tai puffed on his pipe and couldn't help laughing when he saw his elder brother was so anxious and worried about him.
"Don't worry, Third Brother. I do have some plans. I originally thought I'd discuss them in the fall, but now is the perfect time to bring them up."
Grandpa Tai pulled his elder brother to sit down and said, "This yard of ours has been built for some time. It should be big enough for us to live in even if we squeeze in. But the boys are getting older and older, and they will eventually have to get married and have children.
Besides, Zhuzhu is a girl, so it's not good for her to always be squeezed in with her parents. She needs to have her own room...
"So, I thought about rebuilding the house into brick and tile, and adding a small side yard for Zhuzhu to live in.
"We've got so much food and supplies today, it's more than enough to entertain our helpers. Isn't that just right?"
Uncle Tai's eyes lit up when he heard this. He slapped his thigh and shouted happily, "Oh, Sixth Brother, you are smart. This is the way to go! Now that life is good, building a new house is the first thing to do. It's not spring yet and we have enough people in the clan to work, so it's the perfect time to start construction!"
The old man also smiled. "Okay, Third Brother, I'll leave the manpower to you. Let's have dinner at my house tonight. Let's discuss it and get started tomorrow."
"Okay, okay!" Master Tai was so happy that he no longer found the things on the ground eye-catching. Instead, he asked worriedly, "Sixth Brother, building a house requires not only food and supplies, but also money to buy bricks and tiles..."
Old Master Tai waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, there is enough money."
Mr. Tai San then stopped asking.
The two old brothers discussed it and left the yard again.
There are always more and more people watching the excitement at the door, never fewer!
Master Tai San stroked his white beard and was glad that his old brother was quick-witted and turned all the money and things into a house, so outsiders would have no chance to covet it!
Sure enough, when everyone heard that the Tai family wanted to take advantage of this small fortune to renovate and build the courtyard, they were surprised for a moment, but then they felt that it was expected.
After all, a house is a place where the whole family lives. When life becomes prosperous, every family will be the first to build a house.
The Zheng family sent a lot of things just now, but after the Tai family built the yard, there probably wouldn’t be much left.
More importantly, building a house requires manpower. If they come to work, some of the rice and pork can be eaten by them.
Thinking of this, almost everyone clamored to come and help.
Mr. Tai accepted all the offers and agreed to them all.
As for who to use in the future, that's up to Mr. Tai San to decide...
After another half hour of bustle, the area in front of Tai's house finally became quiet.
The boys at home guarded the doors and windows, and Grandpa Tai took his son and daughter-in-law to look at the two small boxes. He felt more confident, but also had a deeper understanding of the Zheng family's wealth!
There were two small boxes, one containing two hundred taels of silver, and the other containing jewelry.
The jewelry is divided into four small boxes, two of which are exquisite silver headpieces, including bracelets, hairpins, hairpins, etc., everything you can think of.
