Chapter 573 Just Think of It as Helping Them
Zhang Juexia thought that although Feng Shunzi was young, he was a kind and loyal child.
If the children are good, then the adults should not be much different.
She then told Feng Shunzi some other things about her family, and Feng Shunzi answered her questions fluently.
When he learned that Feng Shunzi could still read, Zhang Juexia couldn't help but lean forward. Why hadn't Shen Liang come yet?
"Are you tired, sister? I'll go help you move the chair."
Feng Shunzi ran to the main room, brought a chair for Zhang Juexia and asked her to sit down.
"Sister, isn't Qingfeng City fun?"
"Well, sister will take you there some other day, okay?"
Feng Shunzi nodded and asked doubtfully, "Then where can I find my sister in the future?"
"Wait until I'm done with my work, and I'll tell you, okay?"
"The serious matter that sister is talking about is buying my house, right?"
"What a clever little ghost you are! Sister asks you, do you want to see me more often?"
Feng Shunzi said without hesitation, "I think my sister is not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted."
"How do you know that my sister has a kind heart?"
"Sister, give me some candy."
Zhang Juexia looked at Feng Shunzi's big watery eyes and really wanted to tell him that the world is dangerous and it is best not to eat candy from strangers.
However, she comforted herself again, thinking that what others said was right, and they would soon no longer be strangers.
Shen Liang came back sweating profusely, and nodded to Zhang Juexia when he saw her.
Zhang Juexia found an excuse to send Feng Shunzi away, "Go ahead!"
"I've asked around in several households in the village below, and what Old Man Feng said is basically consistent."
"He's such a miserable person. Now that we've met him, let's help him!"
Zhang Juexia came back, and the owner of the pawnshop and Old Man Feng looked at her excitedly.
Zhang Juexia was a straightforward person. She also intended to help Old Man Feng. She didn't bother to bargain over the price he offered and went straight to the point, "Old Man Feng, I'll buy your house."
Old Man Feng burst into tears of joy. "I just said that kind people are still the best in this world. Thank you, ma'am!"
The pawnbroker's shop owner was naturally delighted. He stood up and said cheerfully, "Since Mrs. Ye is so straightforward, then I, as the pawnbroker's shop owner, must also show some appreciation. Old Mr. Feng, we will waive your brokerage fee."
Old Man Feng pulled Feng Shunzi to his knees and said, "You are all good people, good people!"
The shopkeeper stopped him and said, "Old Feng, let's not talk about your polite words. Since someone wants to buy your house, we have to follow the rules.
How about this: you and Mrs. Ye sign the contract first, and let Mrs. Ye pay you a deposit of thirty taels of silver to solve your problem first.
After you move out, I'll let Mrs. Ye give you the remaining twenty taels of silver. What do you think?"
Old Man Feng was naturally satisfied with the arrangement made by the shopkeeper. Although he was reluctant to leave the house he had built with his own hands, it had solved his urgent problem. He nodded happily and said, "I will follow the shopkeeper's arrangements."
Zhang Juexia pulled Shen Liang aside and whispered, "Shen Liang, what do you think about letting this old man and this young boy look after the sheep for us here?"
Shen Liang knew that Zhang Juexia wanted to help these two people, so he had no objection, "Then I'll go tell them."
"Let me go and talk to you. What do you think is a suitable salary for them?"
"Twenty cents a day is enough."
Zhang Juexia thought for a moment and said, "I'll do as you say."
When the pawnbroker was about to fill out the contract, Zhang Juexia stopped him and said, "I want to talk to Old Man Feng alone."
The pawnshop owner almost lost his grip on the brush, and Old Man Feng stumbled. He had changed his mind again.
Yes, after all, it was fifty taels of silver. Who could make a decision so easily, not to mention that the person in front of him was a woman.
Zhang Juexia looked at the two people in front of him and couldn't help laughing, "Don't look at me like that, I do have something to say to Old Man Feng.
Old Man Feng, please listen carefully to what I say.
I bought your house because I want to raise some sheep. So, I'm in need of someone to help look after the sheep. I wonder if you'd be willing to stay."
Old Man Feng was stunned by the sudden happiness, and looked at Zhang Juexia confusedly. What you said means, but is it true?
"My wife is very busy and has no time to joke with you. We have herded the sheep here and we really need some help.
Seeing that you and your grandson have nowhere to go, your wife is kind-hearted and wants to help you.
Old Man Feng, this job is not for nothing. It's twenty cents a day. Please be quick and reply quickly."
My goodness, not only do I not have to move, but I also get paid every day. Such a good thing actually happens to me, Old Man Feng.
How could Old Man Feng disagree? But he was old after all and couldn't stand the stimulation. He wanted to speak out, but he couldn't. He was so anxious that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He talked a lot in his mouth, and people were stunned and couldn't understand a word he said.
Feng Shunzi stamped his feet anxiously, "Madam, my grandfather agreed.
He said thank you and that we don’t need to move, and he would work hard and take good care of the sheep.
Zhang Juexia really liked Feng Shunzi's cleverness, "Then let's make it a deal.
I'll give you fifty taels of silver in a moment, and you and your father will clean up this yard in the next two days."
Old Man Feng finally reacted, took two quick steps, and directly grabbed Feng Shunzi. The two of them knelt down together and kowtowed to Zhang Juexia, "Madam, you are such a kind person!
I will burn incense and pray to Buddha every day to bless you with peace and safety every day."
Zhang Juexia quickly helped Old Man Feng up, "I can't bear such a generous gift from you. It's getting late, and we have to go back."
Zhang Juexia took the silver neatly. The shopkeeper took the silver, checked it, and then handed it to Old Man Feng.
The owner of the pawnshop felt particularly comfortable doing this business. It’s great to deal with straightforward people!
How great it would be if the customers who came to their dental clinic every day were people like Mrs. Ye!
He thought that since the customer was happy, he would also be happy, so he said directly to Zhang Juexia, "Mrs. Ye, I will go to get the title deed for this house this afternoon.
And the hill at the back, how much are you planning to buy?"
“It’s best to buy them all!”
The pawnshop owner's hands trembled again. When did he become so uneasy? It was just a small hill. What was the big deal?
After some mental preparation, the shopkeeper replied cheerfully, "Then I'll take care of this for you this afternoon."
Old Man Feng and Feng Shunzi escorted them out of the house. Before Zhang Juexia boarded the carriage, he again gave Old Man Feng some instructions, "Now that you have the money, pay off your debt first.
I think Shunzi is a very smart kid. He doesn't have a lot of work to do. You can find him a school in the village so he can continue his studies."
