When they arrived in front of the carriage, Yu Qizhe helped Yu Jiao get on and led the horse out of the yard.
Yu Ruhai heard the noise, walked to the door of the main hall, and asked, "Why are you going out again? Didn't you say you had no patients to see?"
Yu Qizhe turned around and said calmly, "Grandson, go to the city to buy some books."
Yu Ruhai was speechless immediately, his expression changed, and he said with a smile, "Go ahead, be careful, you might catch a cold if you get caught in the rain."
After leaving the courtyard, Yu Qizhe sat on the carriage, whipped the horse, and drove slowly out of the village.
When they arrived at the entrance of the village, there was a drainage ditch that had been dug up. Yu Qizhe said to the car, "Hold on tight."
He whipped the horse hard and it jumped over the small ditch. The carriage shook violently, but fortunately the ditch was shallow and there were no ruts, so the carriage passed smoothly.
"Are you okay?" Yu Qizhe turned his head towards the car.
"It's okay." Yu Jiao responded, rubbing her forehead with her hand.
Although she grabbed the edge of the car, her forehead still hit the car.
When she arrived in the city, Yu Jiao found the broker she had met from last time. Upon hearing that she wanted to buy a house, the broker enthusiastically told her about several yards.
Only Liu Sanniang and Fei Ge'er live there, so Yu Jiao doesn't plan to buy a house that is too big, but the surrounding environment has to be good, and the neighbors can't be a mixed bunch, with all kinds of people. It would be best if they are honest and have good character.
Liu Sanniang is a widow after all, and people nowadays always have malicious assumptions about widows.
After hearing Yu Jiao's request, the broker said, "I actually have a house that's quite suitable, in Huaihua Lane."
"Most families in Huaihua Lane have lived there for generations, and their neighbors all know each other well. There are rarely any disturbances on weekdays, so it is more peaceful than other places. The family that is selling the house moved to the south with their entire family, and they didn't sell it because of any dirty things. If you think it's suitable, I can take you to have a look?" The broker said with a smile, looking at Yu Jiao.
Yu Jiao nodded, "I'm in a hurry to move, can you provide all the tables, desks, beds and chairs in the house?"
"It's all here!" The broker said with a smile as he led the way. "When the owner left, he left all these worthless things behind."
Arriving at Huaihua Lane, the broker stopped in front of a house, unlocked the copper lock, pushed open the door and said, "This is the yard. Miss, please take a look around and see if it suits your taste."
The courtyard is not big, but it is kept very tidy. There are some flowers and plants planted in the corner, and there is a peach tree. It can be seen that the original owner was a person of elegant personality.
There were four rooms in total. Yu Jiao opened the doors one by one and looked around. The remaining desks, tables and chairs in the rooms were not old. One of the rooms should have been a study room. There was still a bookshelf left, which was just right for Fei Ge'er to read.
"How much does this house cost?" Yu Jiao asked the broker after looking at it.
"Miss, you are my old customer, so I won't ask you for an exorbitant price. This yard costs thirty-five taels." The broker said with a smile.
Yu Jiao pointed at three fingers and said, "Thirty taels."
The broker shouted exaggeratedly, "That won't do. Miss, you can't give me such a price. I'm going to lose five taels of silver. I need thirty-three taels to buy this house. You can't let me not make any profit at all."
After some back and forth, Yu Jiao refused to give in. Finally, the broker gave in and sold it to Yu Jiao for thirty taels.
"Miss, please take care of my business in the future. I really didn't make any profit from this deal." The broker took out the house deed and transferred the ownership to Yu Jiao.
Yu Jiao didn't believe him, but she still smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come find you later."
After another trip to the county government office and paying the deed tax, the matter of the yard was finally settled. Yu Jiao wrote Liu Sanniang's name on the title deed. She didn't have so many ulterior motives. Since she had said she would buy the house for Liu Sanniang, the house belonged to Liu Sanniang and her son.
After finishing these, Yu Jiao and Yu Qizhe went to Mengjia Village to pick up Liu Sanniang and her son.
Liu Sanniang took two doses of medicine yesterday and slept for a night. When she woke up today, the fever had subsided. She was busy packing up early in the morning. Although the items in the house were not valuable, people from poor backgrounds were very good at living and were reluctant to throw anything away. In the end, she packed up five or six bags of things.
She confiscated Meng Qingyun's tablet in order to wait for Yu Jiao to come.
"Go and burn some incense for your father." Liu Sanniang pointed to the west room.
Yu Jiao stepped into the west room. She took a stick of incense from the table and lit it. She looked at the tablet on the table in silence.
Whether in the original body's memory or in Liu Sanniang's words, Meng Qingyun, the father, loves his daughter Meng Yujiao very much.
He would probably be very sad if he knew that his beloved daughter was dead.
Yu Jiao said to herself: I didn't mean to put it on your daughter, please don't blame me, I will try my best to take good care of your wife and son.
After kneeling on the ground piously three times, Yu Jiao stood up and inserted the incense into the incense burner.
Liu Sanniang waited until the incense was burned out before she went into the house, wrapped Meng Qingyun's tablet with cloth, and put it in her bag.
After loading all the things into the carriage, Liu Sanniang locked the house and the gate, and the group left Mengjia Village in the carriage.
Liu Sanniang didn't interact with others on a daily basis, and now that she had left the village, no one noticed.
On the way, there was a rumbling sound of thunder in the distance.
Yu Jiao lifted the car curtain and looked outside. The sky was dark, as if it was about to fall, and the trees in the distance were swaying in the wind.
