Qian Fugui put the key in Wanfu's hand and said, "This is the original key. I made a few more. The original key is in the hands of you, the future mistress. Please keep it well."
Wanfu looked at the copper key with a heart shape on it, as if Qian Fugui's heart was handed into his hands.
Suddenly, Wanfu burst into tears, "Wuwuwuwuwu..."
Qian Fugui saw her suddenly cry, and said in a panic, "Hey, don't cry, don't cry, did I say something wrong..."
Wanfu cried, wiped her tears, and shook her head, "No, I just, I just..."
Qian Fugui waited for her to continue, while handing her a handkerchief, "Don't cry, it makes me feel bad when you cry..."
"This yard must be very expensive..." Wanfu said sobbingly.
"It's not expensive. I bought it for ten taels." Qian Fugui said proudly.
"You are lying. My family used to have a yard similar to this one. It would be a bargain if it could be sold for twenty or thirty taels." Wanfu said crying.
"Huh?" Qian Fugui was dumbfounded, but he had only spent ten taels, so it seemed like there was something fishy behind this.
"Okay, don't cry for now. Anyway, no matter what, this is our home." Qian Fugui reached out to wipe her tears.
"You are so beautiful, who would agree to marry you..." Wanfu said in a low voice.
"Then what do you want in exchange for marrying me?" Qian Fugui looked at her seriously upon hearing this.
"Go and propose to the shopkeeper. I am considered the shopkeeper's person..." Wanfu avoided his gaze and said in a low voice.
When Qian Fugui heard this, he almost jumped up with joy. "Wait for me, I'll go talk to the shopkeeper right away!"
Qian Fugui sent Wanfu back to the old courtyard, and went to the workshop to find Yi Yami.
Yi Yami had already returned to town in Gu Beijian's carriage.
Qian Fugui came back empty-handed, but met Liu He.
Qian Fugui hurried over to thank Liu He, "Uncle Liu, thank you so much! If you hadn't been willing to sell the yard to me, I still wouldn't have a place to stay!"
Liu He smiled softly. "You don't have to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank your shopkeeper. Your shopkeeper came to me and asked if I had an old yard or something. I said yes, and she said she was willing to help you pay the bulk of the money. You only need to pay ten taels for the rest."
"Ah? How much did the shopkeeper pay?" Qian Fugui couldn't believe it.
"Although my old courtyard is small, it has many rooms and the materials used are relatively solid. It is no problem to sell it for thirty to forty taels. But for the sake of your position as shopkeeper, I only took thirty taels. In other words, I took twenty taels from your position and ten taels from you." Liu He answered honestly.
Qian Fugui was stunned when he heard this. It was just as Wanfu said. He felt touched towards Yi Yami again.
Qian Fugui said goodbye to Liu Shaoxi and drove back to town in his carriage.
As soon as they arrived at Yiji, before the horses had even stopped, Qian Duoduo took over the carriage, and Hongju came forward to greet them, "Fugui, I have something to tell you."
"Okay, I have something to say to you too." Qian Fugui looked at Hongju and said seriously.
Hongju blushed and didn't know what he was going to say to her.
"Let's go, let's talk by the river. There's no one there, it's good for both of us." Qian Fugui walked in front.
Hongju followed behind.
Xiaodi and Xinxin witnessed this, and Xiaodi said, "I guess Hongju will be sad."
"That's inevitable." Xinxin took a look and said.
Xiaodi glanced at Xinxin with interest. "You seem like you don't care about anything, but I didn't expect you to know everything."
"I just don't like to talk, but that doesn't mean I don't care about things." Xinxin lowered her head and continued to count in the account book.
Xiaodi raised an eyebrow.
By the stream, Hongju pinched the corner of her clothes, looked at Qian Fugui's back, and did not speak for a long time.
"Do you want to speak first, or should I?" Qian Fugui spoke with his back to her.
"Let me speak first." Hongju said, looking at his back.
Qian Fugui nodded.
"I fell in love with you when I was with Shirakawa Jing. You are a good person and kind to your brothers and sisters. I like you. I have secretly looked at you several times. I want to be with you, even if we don't have a house or money, it doesn't matter, I just want to be with you..." Hongju's voice became lower and lower.
After hearing this, Qian Fugui sighed deeply, "But I only treat you as my sister and a good partner, not as a romantic partner."
"How about you, consider me again? I really like you..." Hongju's eyes were red.
"No, I like Wanfu. I have already bought the yard today, and I plan to propose to the shopkeeper." Qian Fugui turned around.
Hongju's heart broke when she heard Qian Fugui say these words, and tears fell down her face.
Qian Fugui didn't know how to comfort her. It wasn't right to comfort her, nor was it right not to comfort her. He could only bow to Hongju and say, "Thank you for liking me, but I really have someone else I like. I'm sorry!"
After saying this, he left quickly, leaving Hongju alone crying.
After Qian Duoduo tied up the horse, he saw Qian Fugui coming back first. He was worried about Hongju, so he went to the river to check on her.
Unexpectedly, Hongju was about to jump into the river. Qian Duoduo hugged her and said, "Hey, hey, hey, Hongju, Hongju, don't be so depressed and do something stupid!"
Hongju patted Qian Duoduo's back and said, "Put me down, Qian Duoduo!"
Qian Duoduo held her tightly and said, "No, I won't let go no matter what!"
"I'm not going to jump into the river. My handkerchief fell into the river..." Hongju angrily watched her handkerchief float away.
"Ah? Really?" Qian Duoduo asked in confusion.
