Chapter 1016 Heartache
Liang's face lit up with joy, and she let out a long sigh of relief.
Shu Yu said to the old lady, "Grandma, buying a house is a major event that takes up a lot of our family's wealth. With Uncle San not here, we can't be careless. I'll go with Aunt San."
It's almost noon now, and there aren't many people coming into the shop on such a hot day, so it's alright for her to leave.
The old lady thought that two hundred and eighty taels of silver would be the entire fortune of the third son's family. What if his unreliable wife got scammed?
At that point, the whole family will have to huddle together and commit suicide.
So she nodded, "Okay, you go ahead, I'll keep an eye on things here."
Lan Hua, standing to the side, asked nervously and excitedly, "Sister Ayu, can I go and take a look too?"
"Let's go."
Finally, not only Lan Hua, but also Er Niu, who had just run back from outside to get a drink of water, heard about his third uncle's house purchase and went along as well.
Shu Yu had a mule cart, and the group of people got on and left quickly.
They had just left when Lu Dasong and Li Shi returned after buying their things.
Seeing that the shop was much quieter than before, and even her son and daughter were nowhere to be seen, Li Shi took the water that Hua Xian handed her and drank it while asking, "Mother, where are they? It's not good to leave you here alone to watch over the shop, it must be tiring. Honestly, Lan Hua is so inconsiderate, she rarely comes here and doesn't even offer to help keep an eye on things."
Mrs. Li felt that her children were all stubborn mules, only knowing how to keep busy doing things without ever trying to fight for themselves.
Look how amazing the third son and his wife are; they moved directly from the village to the county town.
What about Da Niu? He finally managed to be the manager for eight or nine months, only to be reassigned to the countryside to farm again.
Although Lu Dasong had told her that she could manage hundreds of acres of land, Li Shi had never seen that scene, and she still felt that she was at a disadvantage compared to being the manager.
Orchids, too, are very clumsy with words.
Li looked down on them, and the old lady also looked down on Li. Upon hearing this, she curled her lip and said, "Lanhua and the others have gone to the third son's house."
What are we going to do at Lao San's house?
The old lady didn't want to talk about it, because if she did, she would be greatly upset.
But even if she doesn't say it, some people know.
The proprietress of the shop next door happened to come over and, upon hearing Li's words, immediately laughed and said, "It seems they're looking to buy a house; they went to take a look."
When Shu Yu and the others left, there was a huge commotion, and the proprietress was very curious, so she asked a question.
Liang was so happy that she blurted it out in her excitement.
The proprietress wanted to ask more questions, but the mule cart simply left.
The old lady glared at the shop owner, who, upon seeing Li's expression, realized she had been too talkative. She chuckled and quickly turned back to her shop.
Li was completely stunned.
She's only been away from the county town for a little over half a month, how come so many things have happened?
Not only did her son go from being a shopkeeper back to a farmer, but now the third son and his wife are even able to buy a house in the county town.
Li felt a pain in her chest; why were there so many unpleasant things happening every day?
The third son and his wife were originally the most unreliable, but now they not only have a proper business in the county town, but their son is also steadily attending a private school, and in such a short time, they have even bought a house.
Li felt dizzy and grabbed Lu Dasong's arm, gritting her teeth as she said, "I have to go see!!"
Lu Dasong frowned, "We still have to go back..."
"Lanhua and Erniu both went with them, are we just going to leave them behind?"
