229: We don't sell this land
(Girls' Literature)
"We have already sold this house, including the land underneath it, so we can't sell it to you."
The villagers in front of Old Lady Li's house were talking.
When old lady Li heard this, she was shocked. Her family wanted to enclose a garden, but there were people living nearby. If they wanted to expand the garden, they would have to buy other people's land. She came here with full confidence, thinking that if she paid money, they could build a new house that would be better than the current shabby one, and then they would be happy to accept it and move in. But she didn't expect such a response. She felt like she was struck by lightning.
Zhao Xiaohua also came along and was also stunned when she heard this. However, she came to her senses earlier than Mrs. Li and quickly asked who bought it.
"The buyer was none other than Brother Shitou. He paid twelve taels of silver, which is enough for us to build a new house."
The people of this family said this with smiles on their faces, and they expressed contempt for the price that Mrs. Zhao had just mentioned. Mrs. Zhao only mentioned six taels of silver. Did she think she was sending away a beggar? If they moved out of here, they would have to buy a piece of land to build a house, which was a lot of money. Her six taels of silver was not enough. Look at Li Shi, he gave twelve taels right away, which was enough for them to buy land and build a house. This is a real person!
Old Lady Li and Zhao Xiaohua walked out of this family amidst their contemptuous gazes, and then hurried to the family to the east. The response they got was the same, it was also sold to Li Shi. Moreover, not only this family, but also the family next door was sold to Li Shi!
"What is this Li Shi going to do?!"
Old lady Li yelled in anger and kept coughing. Xiqi, who was standing next to her, tried to pat her back, but was pinched a few more times, and she kept yelling in pain.
"Don't yell. I'll sell you out if you yell again!"
Zhao Xiaohua gritted her teeth and said to Xiqi, who was so frightened that she dared not scream, and she was stroking her arm with tears in her eyes. Zhao Xiaohua was also very angry. She thought that all the land next to her house had been bought by Li Shi, so she couldn't expand the garden? And what did Li Shi buy these lands for? It's not okay to grow crops on the land here, could it be that he also wants to enclose it and use it as a garden? ! When Zhao Xiaohua thought of this possibility, she immediately became even angrier.
After Mrs. Li and Zhao Xiaohua discussed it, they rushed to Li Shi's house.
Li Shi's house has been built and almost cleaned up. Li Shi went to help Shen Zi'an clean up the garden. Liu Si Niang had her period today, so it was not convenient for her to go. She cleaned up at home and then sat in the house to knit. The house was built and it cost a lot of money. She had to work harder to earn back the money.
Hearing someone knocking on the door, Liu Si Niang went to open it. The knocking was quite urgent. She opened the door in a hurry, but she didn't expect that it was Mrs. Li and Zhao Xiaohua standing outside.
When Old Lady Li and Zhao Xiaohua saw that it was Liu Siniang who opened the door, both of them looked unhappy. Especially when they saw Liu Siniang's face and clothes, their eyebrows wrinkled.
After leaving the Zhao family, Liu Si Niang lived with Su Zhi for some time and recovered very well. Later, she married Li Shi, who took great care of her. He always thought of ways to make her healthy. Not long after, Liu Si Niang looked very different in other people's eyes. Her sallow skin became white and rosy. Although her hair was still a little yellow, it was shiny. Although she was still thin, she gained some weight. At least she was not skinny anymore. She had a silver swaying stick in her hair, which was inlaid with a green jadeite. She was wearing a blue floral dress. The fabric was very good, it was the kind of fine cotton. There were only a few women in the village who wore clothes made of this kind of fabric.
When Mrs. Li and Zhao Xiaohua saw Liu Si Niang like this, they were unhappy. It can be said that they were unhappy because Liu Si Niang was living a good life without them.
Liu Si Niang was not happy when she saw the mother and daughter. These two people were her ex-mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and were the source of her hard days in the past. When she saw them, she thought of the past. How could she be happy?
"What are you doing here?"
Liu Si Niang blocked the door and wouldn't let the two people in. This was her home, and she wouldn't allow the two people to come in. They were not welcome here.
Old Lady Li scolded, "You are so successful! Don't forget that I was your mother-in-law and your elder before. How can you treat me like this? No wonder you can't even lay an egg! You are so evil that you are about to rot!"
Liu Si Niang's face turned pale. Her inability to have a baby was a source of worry for her. Although Su Zhi had said that Zhao Daliang had been away from home for two and a half years out of the past three years, and this was none of her business, she had been worried about it for more than three years. Now that it was mentioned again, it was as if she had returned to the old days, and her heart ached.
Zhao Xiaohua quickly pulled Mrs. Li. She thought that Liu Si Niang was no longer the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family. It would not be good if her mother continued to scold her like that. They were outside the door now. If someone heard it and told Li Shi, it would be troublesome. She knew that Li Shi was not someone to be trifled with.
When she thought of Li Shi, Zhao Xiaohua felt a little jealous. She originally had some feelings for Li Shi, but later she felt that although Li Shi was capable and had some money, he was still not worthy of her. She thought that she should marry into a wealthy family and be a servant, so she gave up on Li Shi. However, she didn't expect that Li Shi married Liu Si Niang, and it seemed that Liu Si Niang was living a very comfortable life now. When she thought that Li Shi not only rebuilt the house, but also bought so much land next to it, she felt jealous. She thought that Li Shi was actually quite wealthy, and Liu Si Niang was really lucky!
"Why are you cursing at someone's door?!"
Old Lady Li and Zhao Xiaohua heard someone talking behind them, and they felt a little embarrassed that someone had heard what they had just said. They also knew that Liu Si Niang was no longer the daughter-in-law of their Zhao family and had remarried, so it would be wrong for them to continue scolding her like that.
As soon as Su Zhi arrived, she heard Old Lady Li scolding Liu Si Niang. She wondered why this old lady was still haunting her. She was no longer Liu Si Niang's mother-in-law, so why was she causing trouble here?
When Old Lady Li and Zhao Xiaohua saw that it was Su Zhi, they both felt a little bit unhappy. In fact, they knew in their hearts that it would be difficult to deal with Su Zhi. Besides, since Shen Zian's family was getting better and better, Zhao Daliang and Zhang Qingniang had told them not to quarrel with Shen Zian's family, so they were unwilling to quarrel with Su Zhi. Now that she had discovered that Old Lady Li was scolding Liu Si Niang, they were wondering how this would end.
"Sister Zhao, you are here. We are here to talk to Brother Shitou about something."
Zhao Xiaohua spoke first, trying to put the matter behind her.
Su Zhi didn't want to let this matter go, and couldn't take such a request lightly.
"You guys came to talk to Brother Shitou, but you have to scold his wife right after you arrive? Si Niang and Brother Shitou have just been married for less than a month, and they have to wait a little longer to have a baby. Is it your turn to make irresponsible remarks? If you have that mood, why don't you go back and take care of your own wives!"
Su Zhi walked over and came up to Liu Si Niang.
Liu Si Niang was just irritated by what Old Lady Li said just now, but now she has recovered. She smiled at Su Zhi, thinking that Su Zhi can always help her, and she should be stronger.
"Mrs. Li, whether my heart is black or rotten, naturally others can see it, you don't need to tell me. Don't ever say in front of me that you are my ex-mother-in-law. If you say it, you are not afraid of people asking you how you became my ex-mother-in-law. If you are not afraid of being laughed at, I still think it is shameful to have married a family like you."
"You're right, that's right, but it's all in the past. As long as you marry the right person this time, you'll have endless good times in the future. Let others regret it."
When Su Zhi saw Liu Si Niang fighting back, she thought that she had really straightened her back, and that was good.
Mrs. Li and Zhao Xiaohua couldn't say anything and were just angry in their hearts.
"Liu, Sister Liu, we are here to ask Brother Shitou something. Is he home?"
Zhao Xiaohua asked again.
Liu Si Niang said, "He is not at home. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I am his wife now, and I can listen to his affairs."
After hearing this, Old Lady Li and Zhao Xiaohua became even more furious. This woman used to be their daughter-in-law, but now she claimed to be someone else's daughter-in-law. This feeling was really uncomfortable.
Old Lady Li said, "We just want to ask if you have bought the houses and land of the family in front of us and the two families to the east? If you have, please sell the land to us. We will buy it for the same amount of money as you spent on it."
When Su Zhi heard what happened, she laughed in her heart. Actually, it was her idea.
When Li Shi's family was building a house, Su Zhi told Li Shi and Liu Siniang to buy all the land nearby so that they could build a large garden in the future.
Su Zhi said this just because she wanted the living standards of Li Shi's family to not be too different from her own. Sometimes, the savings of friends can be different, but if the living environment is too different, it is easy to have a gap. Although Su Zhi believes that Li Shi and Liu Si Niang are not such stingy people, she is doing this for their own good. Whether in ancient times or today, having more houses and more land is never wrong.
One of the reasons Su Zhi used to convince Li Shi was that if they bought all these lands, the Zhao family would not be able to enclose a garden. Then, their Feng Shui land would be so small that even if they had more money, it would only be smaller than their garden, and they would be suppressed by them.
When Li Shi heard this reason, he immediately agreed. Now it seems that he did the right thing. Look, the Zhao family wanted to expand the garden, but they failed to buy the land.
"We don't sell it. You can go back."
Liu Si Niang was also very comfortable in her heart. She replied stiffly, pulled Su Zhi in, and then slammed the door shut.
