Aunt Guo smiled.
“Okay, Chunping, Yuzhen, my husband’s surname is Guo, so just call him Uncle and Aunt.”
Mu Chunping nodded.
"Uncle Guo, how much is the courtyard we live in worth now?"
Upon hearing Mu Chunping's question, Uncle Guo raised an eyebrow.
"Although Zhili is just a small county town, you can buy a house for just a few dozen taels of silver."
However, the Fu family's courtyard is large, and although it wasn't built too long ago, it's quite elaborate. Normally, it would cost at least several hundred taels of silver.
But now nobody wants to buy that yard. I heard that Huang Weidong was in a hurry to move and sold it to Huang Yapo for a very low price, but I don't really know the exact amount.
Chunping, you're not thinking of buying that courtyard, are you?
Mu Chunping did not deny it.
“We really had that idea. We stayed there last night and thought the house was really nice. The key is that it’s close to the academy.”
We have many children in our family, and they are all still in school. In the future, they will inevitably have to study at Pingchuan Academy.
We live in the countryside, and it's inconvenient for the children to run around. Buying a yard would make things much easier.
Aunt Guo nodded.
"I think Chunping's idea is good, but are you sure you want to buy the Fu family's courtyard? Someone really did die in that courtyard."
The Fu family originally sold alcohol...........................
Aunt Guo recounted the entire story of the Fu family, proving that as a neighbor, she knew everything very well, and it was almost identical to what Fu Ya had said.
Grandpa Guo pondered for a moment,
"If you don't mind those things, then buying the yard would be a good deal."
But you need to negotiate the price carefully, just get it to the lowest possible price. Don't let the middleman rip you off.
Mu Chunping thought for a moment and held up five fingers.
"Uncle Guo, how about fifty taels?"
Uncle Guo glanced at Mu Chunping.
"You're pretty good, kid. You can use this price to test the waters first. As long as you don't get kicked out, you've got a chance."
Shen Yuzhen knew that her youngest daughter was always reliable, so if she was going to buy the courtyard, it was almost certainly true.
Besides, there are treasures buried in that courtyard. Given her little girl's greedy nature, she'll definitely take over the courtyard no matter what.
Now that the yard will soon be her own, Shen Yuzhen doesn't hesitate to buy things. If she happens to find something she needs in the kitchen, she simply buys it directly to save herself the trouble of making another trip.
So the couple didn't shop for long before their hands were full of things.
Shen Yuzhen was busy in the kitchen all day. This time, there were a dozen or twenty children in total, including her own children and the children from the village.
We are all from the same village, especially those who have fled from the desert to Shanglin Village. They are very united; they are neighbors and even family.
Therefore, the couple did not treat all the children they brought with them as their own children; they ate and used the same things.
The same applies to the dry food you bring into the exam room.
Shen Yuzhen and her husband, along with Ningbao who caused all the trouble, spent a busy day in the kitchen and finally finished preparing the children's dry food.
.................................
After seeing the children into the examination hall, Master Chen and Master Guo returned to the village.
Anyway, the children will be in the exam hall for the next three days and no one will be able to see them. After the exam, Mu Chunping and his wife can pick them up together.
Instead of returning to their residence, Mu Chunping and his family of three went to the place where Huang Yapo, who had rented the house to Mu Chunping, lived.
Mu Chunping saw the matchmaker and immediately started arguing with her without saying a word.
"Old hag, tell me, what kind of house did you rent to me?"
Huang Yapo looked at Mu Chunping with a guilty conscience.
"Brother, don't be angry, let's talk this out."
Mu Chunping glared at Huang Yapo.
“I have nothing to say to you. Tell me what you’re up to. I brought the children here for scientific research, and what do you do? You rent us a haunted house.”
