Once bitten, twice shy. Now, whether buying or renting a house, Huang has to find out everything about the previous owner.
She didn't want to build another snake den.
After clarifying everything and observing the surroundings again, it seemed alright, enough for their family to live in.
In the end, I rented it for 20 taels of silver a month.
Regarding the issue of buying a house, the old lady is now reluctant to make a purchase, especially when the old man is on a scientific expedition.
She believes that most of the things she bought were scams.
After renting the house, we quickly started cleaning. Fortunately, the landlord's belongings were still there. Some people sprinkled water, some swept the floor, and some wiped the tables. We cleaned the room quickly.
Simply lay out the bedding you brought from home.
The pots, pans, ladles, and utensils used for cooking and eating are meant to be carried with you.
"Finally, I can get a good night's sleep," Zhao Qianci sighed before lying down.
Although I slept last night, I still feel uneasy when I'm out. Now that I have a bed, I need to catch up on my sleep.
Zhao Qinglin, far away in Zhao Family Village, was glaring angrily at the young man in front of her.
"Who are you? Get out of the way!"
The young man, thinking himself dashing, flicked his bangs.
“Miss, please don’t be angry. My name is Wang Hangqi, the second son of the Hangshun Silk Shop. I met you at the Zhao family’s celebration banquet.”
Mr. Wang fell in love with the young lady at first sight, and today, unable to suppress his longing, he came to disturb her.
I hope you will forgive my rudeness, Miss.
Zhao Qinglin looked Wang Hangqi up and down.
"Yes, you were quite abrupt. Not only were you abrupt, but you were also offensive."
For no reason at all, you've blocked my way. To put it nicely, you're greeting me; to put it bluntly, you're kidnapping me.
You're in front, and your two lackeys are behind you. Isn't this clearly an attempt to prevent me from leaving?
Why are you saying such strange things? What are you trying to do?
A fierce glint flashed in Wang Hangqi's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
"Miss Zhao, what are you saying? I, Wang, merely admire you and wish to be your friend."
Zhao Qinglin smiled, and Wang Hangqi thought that Zhao Qingyi had been captivated by his charm.
"Miss, would you be willing to be my friend?" Wang Hangqi asked again.
Zhao Qinglin was still smiling happily.
"My father said that anyone who offers unsolicited favors is either a crook or a thief."
Even when making friends, it's important to consider social standing. Your family sells silk, while mine runs a food shop; clearly, we're not a good match.
Young Master Wang, please return.
He then decided to walk around it.
Wang Hangqi stretched out his arms, blocking Zhao Qingyi's path, while his two henchmen also blocked Zhao Qinglin's path from behind.
Zhao Qinglin was annoyed.
"I don't intend to be friends with you, I'm not interested in you, is that clear enough?"
"Get out of the way! Don't you know where you are? This is Zhao Family Village, not your Wang family's silk shop."
Wang Hangqi smiled wickedly.
"So what? Once I, Wang, have embraced you in public, your reputation will be ruined, and you won't be able to refuse to marry me."
Zhao Qinglin nodded.
"You're really despicable. Making friends is a pretense; your real intention is to force me into submission."
Are you so sure you can succeed? Who gave you the courage and confidence?
When my father and brothers return, I will certainly tell them. Then we'll see how you handle the situation.
Wang Hangqi flicked his bangs again.
"To be honest, if my father hadn't said that your family has a promising future and that marriage would be beneficial, do you think I would have been willing to come to your poor, remote place?"
Is it that the wine at the brothel is bad, or that the girls at the brothel are not pleasant to touch?
"I wouldn't even consider you a threat, you dark-skinned girl."
While Wang Hangqi was still rambling on, Zhao Qinglin made a move. She simply couldn't listen anymore.
He kicked Wang Hangqi straight in the abdomen.
He kicked the person more than a meter away.
When Wang Hangqi's two henchmen saw their master being beaten, they rushed up and tried to attack Zhao Qinglin.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Qinglin jumped up and delivered two spinning kicks, which landed directly on the heads of the two men.
The two of them fainted on the spot.
While looking at Wang Hangqi, Zhao Qinglin walked over.
Two slaps swelled up Wang Hangqi's fairly handsome face, leaving clear five-finger marks.
The man was knocked down, and the little girl who had been following Zhao Qinglin had already run back to Qingshan Xiaozhu and called the guards.
"Second Miss, what should we do with these people?" the guard asked.
"Tie it up, tie it to the big tree at the entrance of the village."
Then he went to Hangshun Silk Shop to deliver a letter to the owner, saying that his filial son and virtuous grandson were in Zhao Family Village.
In broad daylight, someone dared to take liberties with an innocent young woman. Ask that Mr. Wang whether he planned to send his son to the county government or pay to bail him out.
If you want to redeem it, tell him to bring a thousand taels of silver directly to Zhao Family Village.
"If you don't want to redeem her, I don't mind going through the trouble of personally delivering her to the county government office."
After Zhao Qinglin finished speaking, she revealed a bloodthirsty smile.
As the family's life improved and his martial arts skills increased, it seemed that no one was foolish enough to provoke him anymore.
Could it be that even God thinks his life is too boring and is sending him some fun?
Three hours later, Wang Changshun, the owner of Hangshun Silk Shop, arrived at Zhao Family Village.
They rode at breakneck speed all the way. When Wang Changshun got out of the carriage, he vomited.
After vomiting, he saw his son and two servants tied to a big tree at the entrance of the village. The scorching sun had made his son almost dehydrated.
Wang Changshun yelled and rushed forward, trying to take his son's place.
Zhao Qinglin sat at the entrance of the village school, watching the movements at the village entrance.
"Hey, wait a minute, what's the rush? Did Mr. Wang forget to order something?"
Zhao Qinglin held a whip in her hand and used it to block Wang Changshun's hand.
"Miss Zhao, my son has already been tortured like this, isn't that enough?"
Wang Changshun said angrily.
Zhao Qinglin shook her head.
"My bodyguard must have told you, right? Your son came to Zhao Village to harass me and tried to smear my reputation."
Either you pay 1,000 taels of silver to ransom him, and you must write down the details of what happened in your own handwriting. Or I will hand your son over to the authorities.
"Is Mr. Wang deaf, or is he simply refusing to choose either of these conditions and trying to cheat me?"
Boss Wang was so angry that his face turned ashen.
"Little girl, don't be too strong-willed, or you'll never get married."
Zhao Qinglin nodded, "Whether I can get married or not is none of Mr. Wang's concern."
No matter who it is, if they make a mistake, they should take responsibility for it.
If Mr. Wang intends to act like a rogue like your son, then I wouldn't mind sending your son directly to the county government.
As for the verdict, that's up to the county magistrate to decide.
After calming down, Wang Changshun looked at Zhao Qinglin with eyes that seemed to be coated with venom, "Little girl, you're ruthless."
