Chapter 167: Where to Buy a House
It has to be said that Qian Yuemei's words this time did convince Old Lady Su.
Old Mrs. Su looked at Old Man Su.
Old Man Su thought for a moment and nodded.
"In that case, let's sell two more radishes and buy a house in the county town." Old Mrs. Su said with a smile.
Anyway, it's all about preparing a dowry for the little girl.
When a wealthy family marries off their daughter, a house, a farm, and a shop are all indispensable.
Although their family is small, they cannot let their little girl suffer any injustice.
Qian Yuemei was overjoyed when she heard what her mother-in-law said.
She could finally go to the county town and live a glorious life as the wife of an official.
I no longer have to be a daughter-in-law under the control of my mother-in-law.
Old Mrs. Su glanced at Qian Yuemei, whose face was full of joy.
He could see very clearly what the second daughter-in-law was thinking.
However, it was not pointed out.
But he became more and more determined in his heart that he must keep a close eye on his second daughter-in-law.
It cannot be released under any circumstances.
He becomes arrogant when he can't go out, causing trouble for his family!
"Mom, can I buy a house in the county town by selling two ginsengs, no, radishes?" Su Xiaoliu exclaimed in surprise.
Aren’t the houses in the county town very expensive?
"It should be about the same." Old Mrs. Su said, "Ginseng of this vintage, no, radish..."
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
"Mom, since this is ginseng, let's not change its name." Little Tangbao said helplessly.
It's awkward for you to say it, and it's awkward for me to hear it.
Su Xiaoliu laughed and said, "Mom, my sister is right. Let's not change it, otherwise we will always make mistakes."
After saying that, he touched his head again and said something.
"But, they say ginseng is precious and hard to find. We have a bunch of them here, and they really look like radishes..."
As soon as Su Xiaoliu finished speaking, the Su family members were moved.
Looking at the ginseng on the table and tasting it carefully, it turned out to be true.
Old Madam Su glanced at her daughter and decided to call her ginseng instead of radish. She smiled and said, "Ginseng of this age is worth at least a hundred taels of silver."
Su Xiaoliu's eyes lit up, "Mom, ginseng is so valuable!"
I was very glad that he didn't actually take a bite to taste it.
Otherwise, his father would beat him to a pulp.
When Old Man Su saw his youngest son's expression, he immediately agreed with his wife, saying with certainty, "Of course! Especially this kind of old mountain ginseng, it's the most valuable."
As Old Man Su spoke, a particularly knowledgeable expression appeared on his face.
"Dad, then...how old are these ginsengs?" Su Xiaoliu asked excitedly, pointing at the ginseng on the table.
Old Man Su said seriously, "Well, maybe hundreds of years..."
Although Old Man Su said this, there was a hint of uncertainty in his tone.
After saying this, he looked at Old Mrs. Su, as if seeking confirmation from his wife.
When Su Xiaoliu saw this, he also looked at Old Lady Su.
He said, "Dad, you didn't know either. I thought you knew. If I had known earlier, I would have asked Mom directly..."
Old Man Su, “…”
You little brat, don’t you know how to save face for your father?
The Su family's eyes instantly fell on Old Lady Su.
Old Madam Su suppressed the excitement between her brows, picked up the smallest ginseng, and said, "This one should be more than a hundred years old."
She had seen one before, which was smaller than this one and was a hundred years old.
This one should be older.
When the Su family heard this, they became even more excited.
After all, the youngest ones are century-old ginseng, and the others must be even older.
It is said that ginseng that is over a hundred years old is worth one tael of silver a year.
That is to say, a hundred-year-old piece costs one hundred taels of silver.
One hundred and fifty years, one hundred and fifty taels of silver.
"Mom, where is the biggest one?" Qian Yuemei asked impatiently.
As Qian Yuemei spoke, her eyes fell on the largest one.
This ginseng is very dark in color and shaped like a human.
Old Madam Su reached out and touched the dense veins on the ginseng. Suppressing the excitement in her eyes, she said, "It is said that a thousand-year-old ginseng can grow into a human form. This one..."
"Oh my God! Could this be a thousand-year-old ginseng?" Qian Yuemei exclaimed immediately.
Mrs. Su's voice trembled with excitement. "Mom, I heard that thousand-year-old ginseng can become a spirit. Could this one become a spirit?"
When Mrs. Su said this, Qian Yuemei immediately put her hands together and bowed to the person.
"Ginseng ancestors, please bless us and let our family dig more ginseng..."
Qian Yuemei was muttering to herself as she bowed.
When Mrs. Su heard this, she also looked pious.
If I wasn't embarrassed in front of the whole family, I would have bowed too.
Although Zhang Maiya didn't say anything and his presence was very weak, he also followed Su Ersao in bowing.
His lips just moved, but I couldn't tell what he was muttering.
Su Xiaoliu asked curiously, "Can it turn into a human?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Yuemei said excitedly, "Of course! It's said that when ginseng becomes a spirit, it will turn into a little baby..."
Zhang Maiya whispered, "I heard someone say he turned into an old man with a white beard..."
Mrs. Su said, "I heard that this thousand-year-old ginseng needs to be tied with a red string, otherwise it will run away..."
"Sister-in-law, what are you hesitating about? Hurry up and find the red thread to tie it up!" Qian Yuemei said, hurriedly flipping through the sewing basket.
Mrs. Su also hurried to help.
Su Xiaoliu rubbed his head, looked at Old Man Su, and asked, "Dad, do you know what I'll become? An old man or a little kid?"
Old Man Su, “…”
How would he know?
Subconsciously, he looked at Old Lady Su.
The corners of Old Mrs. Su's mouth twitched.
"Okay, this is just an old ginseng, it can't turn into a human." said Mrs. Su.
Little Tangbao nodded, "Yeah, I can't turn into a human, but I can't run away either!"
As soon as Xiao Tangbao finished speaking, Mrs. Su stopped immediately.
"Sister-in-law, stop looking. My aunt said he can't run away."
Qian Yuemei: "...Oh, okay."
Qian Yuemei responded with some concern.
Little Tangbao looked at Old Lady Su and said cutely, "Mom, let's buy a house in town."
"In town?" Old Mrs. Su was stunned.
Then, his eyes lit up.
That's right! Buying a house in town would be perfect for the fourth brother and his family to live in first.
In this way, the fourth brother will have a stronger position in the Yue family.
The more Mrs. Su thought about it, the more this made sense.
Now that the fourth brother and his family have returned to the Su family, they should live in the Su family's house.
If you continue to live in your father-in-law's house, you will be laughed at as a live-in son-in-law.
But it would be different if you had your own house in town.
Even if you still live in your parents-in-law's house, you can say that you live there to take care of your parents-in-law.
Old Mrs. Su looked at her little girl with mixed feelings.
This girl is so thoughtful!
This time, Old Mrs. Su didn't even ask her husband's opinion and made the decision directly.
"Okay! Let's buy a house in town!" said Mrs. Su.
