Shen Qingqiu looked at the door that was pushed open, his eyes showing interest.
——
The next morning, Liu got up early. Today, she had an appointment with her cousin and his wife to go to the city to look at houses.
Shen Qingqiu got up early in the morning in his undershirt without shoes or socks, using chopsticks as bamboo sticks, "Mom, I read your fortune and it's a bad one. It's not a good day to go out today."
Liu knocked her head directly, "Little charlatan."
She leaned down to hold her, picked up the little socks and put them on her. "You have to wear socks even in the hot summer. Girls' feet are precious and can't be seen by others." She pinched her daughter's round face, which was made chubby by feeding her. "Don't you like the candied haws from West Street? I'll bring them back for you."
Of course, looking at houses requires a lot of leg work, and Liu didn't want her daughter to do such strenuous work.
Shen Qingqiu had tried to persuade her, but seeing that Liu was determined, he waved his hand and said, "Anyway, if you don't listen to me, you'll be in trouble."
But Liu, her mother, was not afraid of her and even pulled her ears.
Not long after Liu went out, Mother Chen poked her head out stealthily and asked, "Did Seventh Miss notice something wrong?" Otherwise, with Seventh Miss's personality, she would not have stopped her aunt from going out without any reason.
Shen Qingqiu nodded.
Mother Chen slapped her thigh immediately and said, "Then I'll go stop Auntie!"
Shen Qingqiu shook her head, "You can stop her for a while, but you can't stop her forever." Liu would always go out, and although she knew Song was going to make a move, she didn't know when she would make a move. If she was to be on high alert now, it would only make people notice her.
Seeing that Chen's mother was as anxious as a headless fly, she said, "Mom, keep an eye on Jin Cai." Chen's mother calmed down quickly as if she had received an order from the county magistrate, and walked out of the door with big strides. And she really found out some tricks. In the evening, Jin Cai left home on the pretext of buying fine thread for sewing embroidery.
As soon as Jin Cai left, Mother Chen and her people followed.
At that time, Liu and her brother and sister-in-law were looking at the last house. They had already looked at the previous ones, but either the price was not suitable or they were a little short here or there. Not to mention that Li Qiumei didn't like it, Liu didn't like it either.
"Actually, I think the one we just had is pretty good." Yang Xiucai said sullenly.
Liu knew that her cousin was afraid of bothering her, so she said, "Next to the house is the pigpen next door. If you don't study, your nephews will have to study. How can you smell the stench of pigs every day?"
"But this is too much trouble. I've asked you to come out for the whole afternoon."
"Looking at a house is troublesome."
Li Qiumei followed silently from behind, listening to the conversation between the brother and sister, her eyes swaying back and forth. After a moment, she suddenly covered her stomach in anxiety, "Ouch... my stomach is not doing well..." After shouting, she hurriedly said, "Sister, you and your brother go to look at the house first, I'll go to the bathroom."
As soon as Liu turned around, she saw Li Qiumei running very fast, and she seemed to be anxious.
Yang Xiucai felt very ashamed again. His cousin had been elegant since childhood and was now the wife of an official. His wife was a little too vulgar. Liu didn't say anything. She was a little tired at this moment. She supported her waist and followed the people to the last house.
"This house is nice!"
Liu's eyes lit up, thinking that she was glad that she hadn't come today. Yang Xiucai was also satisfied with the house. There were three rooms in total, and the house was transparent. To put it bluntly, if something unexpected happened to his cousin in the future, he could live in it.
"Isn't there a toilet here?" Liu slapped her head and said with a smile, "I should have reminded my sister-in-law just now."
Yang Xiucai saw that the last trace of estrangement between them had disappeared with his cousin. "Your sister-in-law is stupid, that's how she is." The matchmaker saw that the brother and sister seemed to be interested in each other, so in order to promote the deal, he quickly invited them into the house. The previous owner of the house had left not long ago, and the furniture was ready.
"Please take a seat first and take a good look around the room. I'll go make you a pot of tea."
