Chapter 329: Pretending to be ignorant
Besides, everyone will die sooner or later. It is better to die in a rich and beautiful home than to die in a home where one can only eat broken food.
What's more, this death can bring such great benefits to the family.
This can be considered as the daughter who was raised by the family with great difficulty, and now she is repaying her family for their kindness.
In short, no matter what, no matter what, this matter must be done and must not be spread out.
Otherwise, if the two families fail to get married, they will become enemies, and he will not be able to rely on the Kong family at all.
He had just enjoyed it for a few days and had just tasted a little sweetness. It was absolutely impossible to take this honey pot away from him now.
Zhuang Yuanren brushed off the dust on the sleeve that Zhuang Yuanzhong had just grabbed, then walked inside.
After leaving the academy, Zhuang Yuanzhong was in a daze until he came to a wonton stall, where he sat down and ordered a bowl of wontons.
The wonton seller was an elderly couple. When they saw a child of Zhuang Yuanzhong's age coming to buy wontons, they smiled and scooped two more for him, saying that if it was not enough, they could just get more.
If this kind of thing happened on a normal day, Zhuang Yuanzhong would definitely act like a spoiled child, clinging to the other party and asking for a few more so that he could take full advantage. But today he didn't say a word and just took the spoon to eat.
The wonton skin was thin and the filling was large, with pork mixed with river shrimps, and the taste was excellent. It was a pity that Zhuang Rumen had no appetite or mind at the moment, so he just stuffed the wonton into his mouth, which tasted like chewing wax.
After finishing half a bowl of wontons, Zhuang Yuanzhong could gradually taste some of the flavor in his mouth.
There was a look in his eyes, and he looked around.
I was in a hurry to look for Zhuang Yuanren just now, and I asked for directions along the way in a hurry, so I didn't even have time to take a look at this county town. Now it seems that this county town is really beautiful and lively.
Especially the people coming and going on this road. Not only is it much more lively than in the town, but even their clothes are quite different. Especially one child, whose clothes are made of silk satin, which even reflects light under the sun, making him look very noble.
Clothes material...
Zhuang Yuanzhong's heart suddenly sank.
He suddenly remembered that when he was in the academy just now, he saw that Zhuang Yuanren was wearing a dress made of satin. And when he grabbed his sleeves at that time, he felt that it was very delicate and soft, and it must be the best satin.
Zhuang Yuanren said that he went to Kong’s house yesterday?
Then his clothes were naturally bought by the Kong family...
"How did you, an old woman, fall for his trick again? Didn't I tell you before that when Old Liang didn't give me the money it wasn't because he didn't have it, it was because he simply didn't want to give it."
"That's how he is. When he sees that something is not good for him, he pretends to be ignorant and tells you nonsense just to save his own skin..."
The old man selling wontons frowned and kept nagging the old woman next to him.
The old woman realized that she had done something wrong, so she lowered her head and dared not say a word. She just kept wrapping the wontons quickly.
Zhuang Yuanzhong was stunned for a moment.
Pretending to be ignorant when knowing the truth...
Yeah, how could I forget about this?
Zhuang Yuanren recognized the Kong family as his godparents and depended on them for his living, so he naturally didn't want to ruin the relationship between the two families.
Zhuang Yuanren knew clearly in his heart that this matter must not be true, but he just refused to tell the truth because he was afraid that Zhuang Qinghe's marriage would fail and he would have no one to rely on in the future.
When Zhuang Yuanzhong thought of this, layers of cold sweat broke out on his back.
The spoon in his hand also fell to the ground with a "thump" and broke into two pieces.
Then he stood up suddenly, and the bowl of wontons in front of him fell to the ground with a crash.
The people eating wontons at the stall, including the old couple selling wontons, were startled and looked at Zhuang Yuanzhong in surprise, his face was pale.
“I…I…”
Zhuang Yuanzhong spoke incoherently, took out a few coins from his purse, put them on the table, and ran away without looking back.
Stumbling.
"What's wrong with this kid? He's in a panic. At first I thought he didn't want to pay and wanted to run away. But if he wanted to pay, why would he run away?" The old man kept shaking his head as he cleaned up the wontons and wonton soup that were scattered on the ground.
"I guess there is something going on at home. Why do you care about it? The money has been given anyway, and people can do whatever they want to do." The old woman was angry after being scolded just now, and replied in a bad mood.
The old man shook his head and didn't say much to him. He just lowered his head and continued to pack his things. ——The business of the shop was done very quickly because Deng was in a hurry to leave and kept urging her.
The total price of the house and the land was fifty-five taels of silver. Zhuang Qingning paid the money and the land deed and the house deed were quickly transferred.
Deng also sent beds, chairs, tables and other items that she couldn't take away from home to the shop.
Even if Zhuang Qingning shook his head and said no, he still stuffed it in.
"I don't know when I'll be back after I leave. Maybe I won't come back at all. The house is empty anyway. If the backyard of the shop is not big enough for you to live in, feel free to live here. It will be better if this house is full of people."
"You can take whatever flowers and trees you want in the yard. You can move or plant whatever you want. I have two keys to the front door, and I'm giving you one. You can use it for whatever you want."
After explaining all this to Zhuang Qingning, Deng followed her eldest daughter to the provincial capital.
As for Zhuang Qingning, he followed Deng's instructions and put things in order.
The bed, cabinets, tables and other things were left to Deng for the time being. After all, she said that she probably wouldn't come back to live here. But there is always a chance of something happening. If something really happened and she came back, at least they should be able to meet her basic needs.
In addition, since the Cao family was going to move here, they would not visit home often, and since they were their own things, they were used to them, so they just transported these things from home to the town.
As for the benches, chairs and other small and easy-to-move items, they could be used temporarily. If Deng needed them again, they could be moved back.
After being busy for several days, the Cao family finally settled down a little, and the backyard was tidied up to its general appearance.
There are three rooms. One is where Liu lives with Zhang Qiuying and Zhang Qiuyue, one is where Cao and Zhang Xiangrong live, and the last one is temporarily empty, in case it is cloudy or rainy and Zhuang Qingning cannot go back, they can stay there for a night.
"Is everything packed up?" Zhuang Qingning came to the shop and asked with a smile as he looked at the drastic change in the backyard.
