Chapter 170 A Piece of Land Given Away for Free
Zhu Lao Er lowered his head and quickly replied, "Yes, Mother."
Aunt Zhu's anger had subsided by now, and she took Zhou Da Niang's hand to welcome Du Wanchun into the house.
When Aunt Zhu heard that Aunt Zhou wanted to buy their land in Changliu Village, she agreed without hesitation, "Okay, we don't really need this land. If you hadn't mentioned it, we would have almost forgotten about it."
Aunt Zhou was overjoyed and asked with a smile, "How about thirty taels of silver for this piece of land?"
Aunt Zhu was shocked when she heard this. "Why would I need thirty taels of silver? This piece of land is only worth ten taels of silver."
Old Master Zhu, standing to the side, also laughed and said, "Yes, we were originally thinking of giving you that piece of land if you wanted to use it, so why would we need so much money?"
Before the Zhu family moved to Cheng'an County, they took great care of Aunt Zhou and her three children.
Aunt Zhou was also very kind to them, but Zhu Lao Er had been studying in the county and hadn't seen them much, so she didn't know that Zhu Lao Er was such a person.
Aunt Zhu was still feeling guilty about what had just happened. She turned around, went into the house, took out the land deed, and handed it to Aunt Zhou, saying, "Here, you can keep it. You don't need to pay thirty taels of silver. If you feel bad about it, just give me ten taels of silver."
Aunt Zhou looked at the land deed, smiled, and took out fifteen taels of silver from her bosom. "Old Zhu's family, let's compromise. I'll give you fifteen taels of silver."
Ten taels of silver is indeed too little for such a large plot of land. If word gets out, who knows what people will say about Granny Zhou?
Aunt Zhu probably thought of this as well, so she accepted it. "Well then, my family has a vegetable garden in Changliu Village. If you don't mind, I'll give it to you as an apology."
After saying that, he immediately turned around and told Old Man Zhu to go get the land deed.
Old Man Zhu quickly turned around and took out the land deed.
Before Aunt Zhou could react, they stuffed it into her hands.
Aunt Zhu was worried that she wouldn't accept the land, so she said with a smile, "Our land is just sitting empty anyway, so you can plant it. We'll be happy to see it, and it'll prevent other people from taking it over."
Seeing their enthusiasm, Aunt Zhou couldn't refuse any longer and put the land deed away.
Then, Aunt Zhu immediately went inside and made some sweet soup, which she brought to Du Wanchun. "Is the eldest son's wife going to give birth in two months?"
Du Wanchun took it and smiled, "Probably another three or four months."
Aunt Zhu smiled and said, "That will be soon. When she gives birth, she must treat us to red eggs."
Aunt Zhou smiled and said, "Of course, we'll give you more than just red eggs; we'll also give you wedding candies."
After Aunt Zhu finished speaking, she sighed and said, "I wish my eldest son's wife could get pregnant too."
Aunt Zhou asked in surprise, "Not pregnant yet?"
The eldest son of the Zhu family has been married for five or six years but has not yet conceived.
However, the couple had a good relationship and were always quite loving.
Aunt Zhou advised, "Let nature take its course. What's meant to come will come. As long as the couple has a good relationship, everything is up to fate."
Aunt Zhu smiled and said, "Yes, that's what I think too, so I rarely bring it up with them."
In Changliu Village, most women who haven't conceived within two years are divorced by their husbands' families. Kind people like Aunt Zhu's family are extremely rare.
Aunt Zhu not only never blamed her eldest daughter-in-law, but also comforted her in fear that she might be unhappy.
Du Wanchun comforted Aunt Zhu, saying, "Aunt Zhu, don't worry, it will happen."
