Chapter 994 The Scars on Hua Xian's Body
So after the rooms were divided, at Ding Yuehua's urging, Mei gave them 11,000 taels of silver.
As for the remaining half, Madam Mei refused to pay. She said it wasn't solely her responsibility; the third branch of the family hadn't managed the kiln properly, and the foremen under Young Master Fan had been leaving things haphazardly, so they should also share half the responsibility.
Young Master Fan was too lazy to argue with her. The division of the family property was already complete, and his goal had been achieved. Continuing to entangle himself would only cause unnecessary trouble.
But an extra 11,000 is still a significant amount of income, isn't it?
There were also blueprints, and Fan Sanshao indeed recreated the shape of the squat toilet from memory.
Ding Yuehua came over today to show her these blueprints. They're in Lu Erbai's hands right now. If there are any mistakes, they can be corrected and then we can start working on it.
This time, with Young Master Fan personally overseeing things, the blueprints will definitely not be destroyed again.
The matter of the blueprints was now settled, and apart from receiving the goods two days later, Shu Yu didn't actually suffer any loss.
Therefore, she felt a little guilty about accepting the horse.
Ding Yuehua didn't care. "It's decided then. Don't argue with me. I'm busy right now."
"What are you busy with?"
“Buy a house,” Ding Yuehua said. “Now that we’ve separated, we naturally have to move out of that house. So we need to find a suitable place. I’m thinking of looking in the Fenghuai Street area, so it’s close to you.”
"You don't seem to want to live close to your parents' home."
Ding Yuehua chuckled, "I'm afraid my husband would feel uncomfortable if it were close to my parents' home. Fenghuai Street isn't far from the Ding family either, so I can go back anytime I want. But there's something I'm not sure about right now."
Shu Yu was curious. Seeing that she was tired from walking around, he went into a room and sat down to rest for a while.
Ding Yuehua said, "You know, the old lady of the Fan family, our grandmother lived in the village."
Shu Yu nodded; Hua Xian had originally served her.
“My grandmother knew we had separated our households, so she wanted to come back and live with us. She’s getting old and wants to enjoy her retirement, and I couldn’t bear to go against her wishes. She and my mother-in-law didn’t get along before, which is why she was living alone. But actually, I don’t really want another person in the family.”
It's quite a dilemma.
However, Shu Yu's expression slowly turned cold.
Seeing this, Ding Yuehua immediately became uneasy, "I'm not unfilial, I'm just..."
She knew that Ayu's family had a good atmosphere, and Ayu was very close to her grandmother, so she probably didn't agree with her idea.
Shu Yu pressed her hand down and said in a low voice, "Do you want to hear my opinion? Then I think it's better to let Grandmother Fan live on the estate."
"Huh???" Ding Yuehua looked up in surprise. "Why?"
Shu Yu was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I've been hesitant to tell you about this, but I didn't expect your old lady to be so well-informed and make her eyes on you two so quickly. Yuehua, Hua Xian used to serve the old lady, right?"
"yes."
“These days, Hua Xian has been staying by my grandmother’s side. My grandmother has been spending a lot of time with her and has inadvertently discovered that she has a lot of old injuries and scars on her body, including marks from being pinched, hit, and burned.”
"What?!" Ding Yuehua suddenly stood up, her face full of disbelief.
Shu Yu nodded seriously. "You said she had always served the old lady of the Fan family personally. Who would dare to leave these injuries on her? Even if someone really bullied her, the old lady couldn't possibly not know about it after all these years, right?"
