Chapter 206 207. Miserable
"How do we accommodate so many people?" Jin Qianqian looked at the first small courtyard they owned. The escort agency had perfect timing and arrived before the city gates closed.
It's dark now and there's nowhere to put so many people.
Housekeeper Fu said, "Madam, we have been living in the carriage for the whole journey. Why don't we stay in the carriage tonight and come back tomorrow to find a solution."
Jin Qianqian, "Then we don't have to all live in the carriage. There are still two or three empty rooms here and in the backyard of the store. We can leave some people in the carriage and let the elderly and children squeeze in first."
As for the Gu Le couple who had been following them closely, Jin Qianqian pointed to a side room and said, "You can go there to rest first. There is nothing in the room, so move the bedding in the car down there by yourselves."
Gu Lejia looked at the small courtyard and scratched his head in surprise. This was different from what he had imagined along the way. His seventh uncle and aunt actually lived in such a small courtyard.
Song Xiuniang curled her lips in disdain. She had been putting on so much airs all this time, but it turned out she was just a poor person.
"There's not even a bedding. What's going on?" Song Xiuniang muttered, but this time her voice was much louder than before.
Jin Qianqian took a deep breath. She finally got rid of this evil. She hoped that she would continue to be so powerful in Gaoling Village in the future.

Taking advantage of the time difference in space, Jin Qianqian and Gu Wenheng finally recovered from the fatigue of the journey in one night.
As for the soap craftsmen brought this time, Jin Qianqian first placed them in the farm that she had purchased before. As for the soap workshop, she could only look for it slowly.
"I didn't expect that Xiaodongzi has grown taller," Jin Qianqian looked at the skinny and small half-grown child who had finally grown up, and the smile on her face deepened. This could be considered that she had accepted her first little shopkeeper here.
"Madam, you are finally back." Xiao Dongzi was so happy that he hugged the account book tightly in his hand, "I can finally settle the accounts."
Jin Qianqian, "You don't have to be so anxious, right? Give me a break and come back in a few days.
But I see that your dress is already a little short, don’t you know how to buy two pieces for yourself?”
Not only does it look ill-fitting, it also seems a bit thick.
Xiao Dongzi looked down and said, "It's pretty good. When the cuffs are connected, I can wear it for another year."
Jin Qianqian, "Haven't you received your wages in the past few months?"
Xiao Dongzi lowered his head shyly, "Madam, you took me in and taught me so much, I don't need any wages."
Jin Qianqian finally understood. It turned out that this guy only paid Xiang Sao and Ping Sao, and saved money for himself.
"I remember that when we set out, I told you that you could get a share of the shopkeeper's salary," Jin Qianqian said with a serious face, "Although you are not very old, you also help me look after the shop, so this share is what you deserve.
You can do the settlement yourself now and deduct that much silver you should have received in the past few months.
If you don't know how to spend this money, then go ask Tianbao and the others. Don't be so hard on yourself at such a young age."
Xiao Dongzi: "I feel pretty good now. I have food and shelter, and I can learn a lot. I never dared to think about these things before. I give all my wages to my wife."
Jin Qianqian was happy, "You silly boy, you should get married in a few years. You should save this money slowly and wait to build a family for yourself."
"Home?" Xiao Dongzi's eyes were blurred and his eye sockets slowly turned red. This word was so unfamiliar, but he felt a blockage in his chest when he heard it.
Jin Qianqian couldn't help but reach out and touch the top of his head. "Yes, our Xiao Dongzi can also have his own home, but all of this needs to be created with silver, so, Xiao Dongzi, you can do it."
Xiao Dongzi nodded slightly, "I want to have a home, a home of my own."
Seeing that he had figured it out, Jin Qianqian asked him to go back and make a new account, and then she started to get busy preparing to return to Gaoling Village.
Previously, the two horse-drawn carriages in his family had taken the people from the soap workshop to the farm. The donkey cart, which had been silent for a long time, was finally put to use this time.
Seeing Jin Qianqian, the little donkey, which had already grown up, kept calling out “Oh—ah—Oh—Oh—Oh—”
Jin Qianqian put the carrot that she had prepared long ago in front of it. When the little donkey saw the familiar food, it kept sticking out its hooves.
"It seems that Xiaodongzi takes good care of you. Look, your fur is so shiny." Jin Qianqian pulled the donkey's ear.
"Aunt Qi, when are we going back?" Seeing that Jin Qianqian still had the leisure to play with the donkey here, Gu Lejia couldn't help but remind her.
Jin Qianqian looked up at him, then reached out and touched the donkey's head. "Your seventh uncle has gone out for something. We'll set off when he comes back."
Gu Lejia didn't say anything else, but opened the gate and stood at the door looking at this unfamiliar county town.
"This place is too small, and it's not as convenient as Haicheng. Tell me why you came back?" Xiuniang looked at her with disdain. "It was so bumpy all the way, I almost broke my bones. Your home is in the countryside, you don't have to walk on mountain roads, do you?"
Gu Lejia glanced at her and said, "Even if my family lives in a mountain valley, it is still my home. If you have any objections, get out as soon as possible."
"You..." Xiuniang felt aggrieved. After all, she grew up in Haicheng. Just because she married the Gu Le family, she would have to live in a remote area in the future. Even so, couldn't she complain a few words?
She was afraid of the divorce letter in Haicheng, let alone in this strange place, where there would be no way to survive.
Seeing that Xiuniang didn't dare to say anything, Gu Lejia felt proud and felt more and more that what Hong Tianbao and the others said before were all right. Some people should not be spoiled too much. Just look at whether they will be obedient after being beaten.
With a glance, Gu Lejia felt a little disgusted when he saw Song Xiuniang's belly. She was so happy before, but he was happy for nothing. What pregnancy? It was just his imagination.
Song Xiuniang lowered her head and smiled bitterly. It seemed that God was not on her side. Now that she was sure that she was pregnant, she could not save face in front of her husband's family. Instead, she made some jokes. Look at the look in the Le family's eyes, they already looked down on her.
Gu Wenheng went to Leping Academy to report for leave. Dean Lu Sheng asked them to take two days to rest and deal with household chores before continuing their studies.
"Although we were given two days, the dean started the exam right after he arrived. This is too difficult." Deng Yuanhang pounded his chest as he walked out of the academy. "This time we are really screwed."
Gu Wenheng looked at him sideways, "So you have to hurry up these two days and go back and work hard to see if you can make up for it."
"How is this possible?" Deng Yuanhang said with a bitter face, "I have spent most of the past few months in the escort agency. This is really miserable."
The next update is coming, and I’m not going to beat around the bush, I want your votes ((c).
