Chapter 354 New House
Zhang Jinlan's nervousness disappeared and she began to plan for the future.
The old couple chatted until almost midnight before falling asleep.
The next afternoon, Zhang Jinlan went to the dental clinic alone.
When she came back, she was followed by four men and four women.
They all signed death contracts.
"From now on, the four of you will be called Chun'er, Xia'er, Qiu'er, and Dong'er, arranged according to your ages." Zhang Jinlan said to the maid.
Then he started talking to the servants.
"As for you, just call you Adong, Axi, Anan, and Abei. There are too many of you, so we won't give you those messy names to make it easier to remember. Chun'er and Xia'er, you can help in the shop with Adong and Axi, and sleep here at night, two people in one room. Qiu'er and Dong'er, you can stay in the house with Anan and Abei.
We will move in three days. You should clean up the house and yard quickly. Also, let me say something ugly in advance. You are all orphans and have signed a death contract. If you work hard and behave yourself, I guarantee that you will have enough food and warm clothes. If you betray your master, you should know your fate. Do you understand?"
Zhang Jinlan had a stern face.
Not a single smile showed.
If there are too many servants and they are not managed properly, it is easy for some of them to betray their master.
From now on she will play the villain.
Sure enough, the words had just finished.
The eight people knelt on the ground in unison.
"Understood, Master—"
At that time, Jiang Fubao was sitting in a recliner reading a medical book, which was a new one.
Relatively thin.
Convenient to hold in hand.
She looked at grandma.
She found that since the family opened the shop, her grandmother's former housewife look was no longer seen.
It feels like being the mistress of a wealthy family.
Awesome enough.
Before the shop is closed.
Zhang Jinlan asked her eldest and second sons to take Adong and Axi to the front of the shop to learn how to be waiters.
She herself taught Chun'er and Xia'er how to cook various foods.
In just three days, the four of them became familiar with each other.
This day is also the day when the Jiang family moves.
He still holds the position of the clan leader and village chief of the Jiang Shou family.
I really can't convince the villagers.
Finally, a new solution was discussed, and Ma Chunxia's husband Jiang Tieniu was selected as the interim village chief.
Whenever there is any small matter in the village, everyone goes to him.
If there is a major problem that cannot be solved, please ask Jiang Shoujia to take action.
dawn.
A thin layer of fog appeared in Jiangjia Village at the foot of the mountain.
It adds a touch of coolness to the morning.
The Jiang family's horse-drawn carriage was loaded to the brim, but the ox-cart was left in the village for Jiang Meng and Jiang Cheng to use.
Because the seat was full, there was no seat for several children.
Jiang Fubao also sat on grandma's body.
A path through the village.
The wind blew up the curtains of the carriage.
Jiang Fubao saw a familiar figure.
It’s Jiang Sanniu.
She was not dead, but her leg was lame and she walked with a limp, looking somewhat pitiful.
But Jiang Fubao couldn't feel any sympathy.
She deserves it.
The original owner was murdered, so this little suffering is nothing compared to this. Living a miserable life is always more terrifying than death.
She was waiting to see how miserable Jiang Sanniu's future would be.
Jiang Sanniu felt someone staring at her from behind.
Turn around slowly.
The two people's eyes met.
One was sitting in a carriage and looking down, while the other was carrying a bamboo basket and looking up.
The future of both of them.
At this moment, it is clear.
Jiang Fubao turned his head.
She lost interest and didn't want to watch it anymore.
The wind died down and the curtains were lowered just in time.
"You bastard, why aren't you the one with the broken leg?"
A loud voice came into Jiang Fubao's ears from outside.
She curled her lips.
Sneer with disdain.
"That little cripple outside must be Jiang Sanniu, right? It's true that good people don't live long. This dead girl is really lucky. Her leg was broken and she didn't get any treatment, but she still survived and can even walk. It's a pity that her sister Erniu was sold. No, she's not that pitiful. With such a family, it's better to be sold."
Zhu Yingqiu said sarcastically.
Jiang Fubao listened silently.
Jiang Guangyi's family sold three granddaughters, and now only Jiang Sanniu and her brother are left.
The lame man cannot be sold.
Even when I grow up, I won’t be able to receive more than two taels of silver as a dowry.
I’m afraid that the Jiang family’s attitude towards Jiang Sanniu will become even worse.
but......
What does this have to do with her?
The carriage was moving very fast.
After a while, Jiangjia Village was no longer visible.
Arrived at the new house in town.
Jiang Fubao was holding Xiaohua, with Phoenix standing on her shoulder.
A child, a dog and a bird stood at the door of their new home.
A large plaque appeared above her head.
It says "Jiang's House".
Red background with gold lettering.
Conspicuous and solemn.
"Hook, tuck, tuck~"
The sound of roosters crowing rang out behind Jiang Fubao.
Her face was full of black lines.
Grandma actually put all the old hens and roosters into the chicken coop and brought them over.
Luckily it was kept in the backyard, otherwise she would have caused a lot of trouble.
Holding Xiaohua's hand, Jiang Fubao crossed the threshold, walked through the garden and entered the yard.
Came to the second entrance that belonged to her.
The house was cleaned very clean inside and out by the servants.
Even the bluestone floor was swept clean without a speck of dirt.
Jiang Fubao climbed up to the second floor of the main house and chose the room on the far right as his own room.
As for grandma and grandpa, she left the first floor to them.
On the far left of the second floor is where my parents live.
The middle one is near the stairs and is temporarily empty.
There is a balcony outside the second floor. If you lower your head, you can see the courtyard. Dad said that he would plant two trees here and wait for her to grow up.
The tree grew bigger.
By then, there will be lush greenery outside the windows and doors.
There are windows on three sides of the house, and the one near the door opens onto a balcony.
Below the window on the left is an arched door connecting the three courtyards.
She can see everyone coming and going.
It feels like being a security guard in a modern security booth.
The window opposite the door overlooks the three-story courtyard.
The lighting is particularly good.
Jiang Fubao stood on tiptoe and opened several windows.
A breeze blew in, and the heat was much less.
She trotted to the balcony and shouted to Jiang Shoujia below.
"Grandpa, I want a table by the window where I can read and write."
There was only a dressing table, a wardrobe, a box and a bed in the room.
There is no desk.
These were left by the original owner of the house.
There is basically nothing new in the house.
So after cleaning, you can move.
It's like moving in with just your luggage.
"Okay, Grandpa will make it for Fubao tomorrow, and also make a small chair so that Fubao can read and write comfortably."
The granddaughter is too young.
If I go to the shop and buy a ready-made table now, it will be too big for my granddaughter.
Instead of spending money to hire someone to do it, he might as well do it himself.
After stating her needs, Jiang Fubao went back to the room. She lay on the hard wooden bed, in a daze.
After a while, Zhang Yanzi and Jiang Siyin came up with large and small bags.
"Don't lie down, go play downstairs, mother will make the bed for you."
Jiang Fubao was driven away again.
She took Xiaohua into the yard to play with her sister.
As for the phoenix, no one knew where it had flown to.
I'm having fun all day long.
Not even a bird could be seen.
