Chapter 42 Family Reactions

Before noon, the Wang family's two main members returned home, and the Xu family finally put their worries to rest after the whole morning.

Hearing the noise outside the door, Zheng and Xiao Wang quickened their pace to greet them.

Old Man Xu, who had been sitting for the whole morning, also wanted to get up and take a look. However, his legs became numb from sitting for too long, and he staggered two steps. The three Xu brothers behind him were so scared that their faces turned pale. Fortunately, Xu Wei'an was quick to catch the old man.

"Dad, you are too excited. You just taught us to keep calm. Why..."

Xu Weian noticed that Old Man Xu was looking at him with a dangerous look, so he shut his mouth wisely.

At this time, the three daughters-in-law accompanied Wang into the main hall, and Xu Nian followed closely behind.

When Old Man Xu saw his wife tightly guarding the box in her arms, he knew that the prescription had been sold. Sure enough, as soon as they sat down, Wang excitedly recounted the whole story.

"You haven't seen the ability of our eldest daughter. She spoke in a very eloquent way, and even Madam Rong was stunned..."

Xu Nian looked at her grandmother's opening and closing mouth and realized for the first time that her grandmother was really good at bragging. In the end, Xu Nian's shame disorder kicked in and she interrupted Wang's words.

"Grandma, please show the banknote to my grandfather and aunt."

"Yes, yes, yes. I'm afraid you have never seen so many banknotes in your life."

Wang slowly opened the small box in her arms and placed it on the table. Everyone in the Xu family looked inside curiously.

"Mom, how much silver is this?" Zheng looked at Wang curiously, but did not dare to flip through it.

Little Wang also looked over with curiosity.

"Guess what?" Xu Nian found her smug expression quite interesting.

Old Man Xu was not so cautious. He took the banknotes from the box and started counting them. The three Xu brothers also looked over. Unexpectedly, after counting once, Old Man Xu counted again.

"Eight hundred taels, it's really eight hundred taels, what kind of recipe is this... is it so valuable?"

After Old Man Xu finished speaking, the three Xu brothers and Zheng's two sisters-in-law also exclaimed in surprise.

To reassure his family, Xu Nian said, "As the saying goes, scarcity makes things valuable. We deserve these eight hundred taels."

After hearing what his granddaughter said, Old Man Xu felt relieved.

At this time, Wang ordered: "Let's talk about it after dinner. The second and third daughters should go to cook first. The eldest daughter said she was hungry on the way."

The two of them responded and went to the kitchen happily, and Tian followed them out of the main room.

Zheng, who had just picked up the water scoop, saw Tian coming in and refused, saying, "Why did the eldest sister-in-law come with you? My third brother's wife and I are here."

"Yes, sister-in-law, the kitchen is freezing. Go back to the living room and have a rest."

Tian rolled up her sleeves and said, "I can't help you normally, but now that I'm back, there's no reason for me to wait for you to serve me."

Seeing that their eldest sister-in-law was determined to do so, Zheng and Xiao Wang stopped trying to persuade her. In the past, the three of them did the kitchen work together, chatting and laughing without feeling tired.

Xu Nian walked outside the kitchen, stopped when he heard the laughter inside, turned around and went back to the main room.

The meal was prepared quickly and eaten quickly. The adults were preoccupied with their own affairs and the children had their own little programs. Xu Cai put down his bowl and ran to school. Xu Ling helped to clean up the dishes and then went to Chunxiu's house carrying the rabbit.

In the main hall, Xiao Wang served everyone a bowl of digestive tea, and then sat down next to Xu Youliang.

"Now that we have some money, let's discuss how to use it."

After saying this, Old Man Xu looked at his son and daughter-in-law who were sitting below. Seeing that no one spoke, Old Man Xu said to Tian: "Old family, although Yaozu is not here, you come and talk about your ideas."

Tian knew that her daughter wanted to buy a manor, so she said softly, "Why not buy a manor?"

Old Man Xu looked at his eldest daughter-in-law who was obviously lacking in confidence. He did not say whether he agreed or not, but looked at his second son.

"Dad, why don't we buy a shop and start a business?"

Xu Youliang saw that Old Man Xu was looking at him, and said embarrassedly: "I don't know how to do anything except farming. How about buying some land?"

Old Man Xu glanced at Xu Weian and wanted to ignore him, but he heard it unexpectedly.

"Dad, I think the most important thing for our family is to build a house." God knows how cold it is for him living in the side room.

Old Man Xu was in a dilemma. He originally thought that eight hundred taels was too much, but now he thought it was too little. So he looked at Xu Nian and asked, "Big girl, what do you think?"

Xu Nian smiled.

"Grandpa, grandma, I think what the uncles said is good, let's do it together."

"Ah? How much silver is that?"

"Grandma, what I mean is that we can buy a farm and solve all these problems at once.

Even the smallest farm has dozens of acres of land, which is definitely enough for Uncle San to grow crops. We can grow some rare grains and vegetables in the farm, and then Uncle Er can go out and find a buyer. As for the house, most farms have a yard for the owner to live in. Even if there is none, we can build one ourselves. "

After hearing this, Old Man Xu suddenly understood that it was his eldest granddaughter who had considered the matter so carefully.

Everyone else was also very satisfied. Of course, Wang was the most satisfied because it only cost the same amount of money to buy the bank.

After the negotiation, Tian took a carriage back to the county government office, and the Xu family also decided that Old Man Xu would take Xu Fugui and Xu Youliang to buy the farm tomorrow.

Wang wanted Xu Nian to go with her, but Xu Nian refused. She was far less knowledgeable about the land than her two uncles. If she did not have the magical object of space, it would be hard to say whether she could grow food.

In the evening, after Xu Nian finished telling Xu Ling a story as usual, she continued her nightly farming career in her space, but Old Man Xu couldn't fall asleep even though he wanted to.

"Old man, did you remember what the eldest girl said? It's best to buy a farm close to the county school, with an area of ​​more than 100 acres. Don't be stingy with money, okay?"

Old Man Xu curled his lips in the dark. In the family, the one who cared most about money was this old woman.

"Why are you worried about me doing my job? Go to bed quickly. You have to get up early tomorrow."

Only then did Wang stop talking, closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

At the same time, Zheng was also giving instructions to Xu Fugui.

"Boss, you must take a good look at the manor tomorrow, don't let anyone fool you."

Xu Fugui nodded.

"Don't worry, we still have dad and my third brother."

"Oh, head of the family, why do I feel like I'm dreaming? According to what the eldest girl said, we will be closer to our sons in the future."

Xu Fugui was also happy and patted Zheng.

"Go to sleep."

As for Xiao Wang, she indeed did not tell Xu Youliang anything, because Xu Cai's little mouth never stopped talking.

"Dad, are we really going to buy a big house? Then do we have to move away? Then do I still have to go to school? Oh~ I really don't want to leave Taohua."

Little Wang couldn't help laughing when she saw her son's wrinkled little nose.

Xu Youliang: “…”

I don't know who his son learned this from, but he has liked pretty girls since he was a child.
