C72 The Joy of New House Migration

"Young lady, you have a good eye. This is the best mahogany in our shop. It was carved and refined by a first-rate carpenter. The price is twelve taels of silver."

The manager had a face full of smiles as he spoke politely. Even if the owner couldn't afford it, he still had an attitude that he should have.

"12 silver taels, this is too expensive." Xiao Yiming muttered, the style of the table and chairs was simple, if there was wood, he could definitely make it.

The shopkeeper had heard too many similar words that were too expensive. Although he had a dissatisfied expression on his face, his mouth was still polite:

"Little brother, this is a hundred-year-old shop. The price is absolutely fair. Don't worry, the furniture is the best."

Luo Manman then asked about the price of a wooden closet, a cupboard, a screen, and a few chairs.

"Shopkeeper, I've said it just now. How much do you want to calculate in total?"

"Alright." The storekeeper rattled the abacus and calculated, "Young lady, there's a total of 22 taels of silver."

"Alright, take off the bag." Seeing the shopkeeper nod, Luo Manman immediately took out some silver to settle the bill. She had already started trading with him a long time ago, Xiao Yiming was used to inspect her goods, haha.

The shopkeeper laughed happily as he counted the tasteful silver taels, his face blooming like a flower. Fortunately, he didn't look down on them like a dog and greeted them in time, otherwise, he would have missed out on this big customer.

"Okay, girl, leave an address and the goods will be here in the afternoon." Luo Manman saw a piece of scrap paper on the table, and casually wrote the words Nanshan Village.

When the shopkeeper saw that she was pretty, he raised his head and looked at her again. He saw that the spirit energy between her eyebrows was extraordinary and her actions were straightforward. He had a deeper impression of her.

"It's the ones I saw, don't take the wrong things!"

"Miss, I can do things without worry. I will definitely make you satisfied."

The two of them were quite satisfied with the furniture and service of this house. Carrying the goods in their hands, they returned to the place where the ox-cart was parked in Big Uncle Zhang.

"Madam, may I ask, are you Luo Manman?"

"Who are you? What business do you have with my wife? " Xiao Yiming asked cautiously.

"My wife has something to talk to you about. It's in the private room of the teahouse." The shop assistant said as he prepared to lead the way.

Luo Manman thought for a while, then went over and whispered to Xiao Yiming: "It's not like we know anyone in stonecrop, the only rich family we know is Qian Jingui, could it be?"

"Wifey, looks like Qian Jingui hasn't given up yet. How about we explain it all at once so that he won't miss you?" Xiao Yiming's face darkened, and clenched his fists.

The two of them followed the waiter up to the private room on the second floor of the teahouse. They lightly knocked on the wooden door and said, "Madam, Lady Luo has arrived."

"Let her in."

Luo Manman pushed open the door and entered the room. On the mahogany chair, a well-maintained noble lady was leisurely sipping a cup of tea. She seemed to be in her forties.

"You are Luo Manman?"

A middle-aged man in his forties, with a square face, thick black eyebrows, and bright eyes stood beside the matron. He swept a sharp glance at the two of them, looking shrewd and astute.

"Yes, I wonder what business does Lady Qian have with my wife?" She had someone's shadow on her body, so she must be Qian Jingui's mother.

"Impudent, did my wife ask you a question?" The butler scolded Xiao Yiming angrily.

"So what if you are Lady Qian? We came here to give you face, not to suffer."

Luo Manman's face darkened as she pulled Xiao Yiming's arm and turned to leave. She was not even willing to scold her man to death, what right did she have to be scolded at?

"Miss Luo, please wait a moment. I apologize to you on behalf of the butler. I've invited you here today because I have something important to discuss with you."

Lady Qian smiled apologetically, secretly raising her brows as she sized Xiao Yiming up.

"If you have anything to say, please say it."

"You look so different from a cuckoo. You're smart and observant. No wonder Jindan was in love with you." With just one sentence, he had blamed all of it on Luo Manman.

Madam Qian could not help but take a few more glances. Luo Manman was dressed in blue, with her black hair combed into a bun and only decorated with a wooden hairpin.

With a face as white as jade, curved eyebrows, long and thick eyelashes, and a pair of clear eyes, it was as if one would drown in just a single glance.

She had a small nose and thin red lips. She looked very delicate and refined, to the point that she could be considered a beauty. More importantly, her head was filled with all sorts of brilliant ideas. No wonder her son was infatuated with her.

She had only stayed in the Xiao family for half a year and had already built a new house.

"Lady Qian, there's a difference in those words. This is their private matter and it has nothing to do with me." Luo Manman couldn't stand people who relied on their wealth to keep themselves aloof, so she didn't owe him anything.

"You have a sharp tongue, but you're saying that my son is an infatuated man. What do you mean, aside from Luo Manman, he doesn't take a wife, and after returning from the Nanshan Village, he's always busy working in the shop day and night? Are you a heartless person? "

Lady Qian placed the teacup back on the table with a bang, as if venting her anger.

"What does Madam mean?" You want me to accept him? "

"How is this possible?" Madam Qian stood up excitedly and walked over to her. "She's just a village nun. Where did you get the confidence to step into our Qian family? If it wasn't for the Old Master agreeing to let her in, do you think a village nun could have entered?"

"I think Lady Qian has misunderstood. I, the Qian Family, do not have any good fortune. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

Seeing that Luo Manman was about to turn around and leave, Madame Qian quickly walked in front of her and took out some silver from her purse. "Here are two hundred silver notes, it's enough for you to live the rest of your life.

"Two hundred taels and you want to send me away?" Luo Manman raised her eyebrows and ridiculed, this Lady Qian was really interesting.

Someone actually used money to send her away, telling her to distance herself from her son. Luo Manman frowned, she really wanted to tease her.

"You really are ambitious. Don't even think about it. The Qian family won't let a woman like you in."

Lady Qian only had Qian Jingui as her only son. She initially wanted to convince her own heart to accept this kind of daughter-in-law into the family.

When he saw it today, the only thought in his heart was completely dispelled. In order not to be angered to death, it was better to avoid it.

"It seems like Lady Qian's sincerity isn't good enough. Then there's nothing much to say."

Luo Manman taunted. She had no interest in going to such a complicated house to play? What's more, she was truly dismayed at the fact that someone was dragged in despite not catching a cold.

"You." Lady Qian then took out two pieces of banknotes from her pocket. "There's a total of four hundred taels of silver. Take them."

"Thank you Madam." Luo Manman carefully took the banknotes, as if he had never seen the market and counted them.

After Lady Qian's mocking voice faded, her jade-like hands flung the banknotes away. A few pieces of banknotes floated down from the sky and smacked down on Lady Qian's body.

"You …"

"Seems like Lady Qian still doesn't understand how to respect people. I was already too polite not to rip off your banknotes on the spot. Don't think that you're amazing just because you have a few stinky money."

After Luo Manman finished speaking, she was secretly pleased in her heart. She finally let out a breath and pulled Xiao Yiming who was beside him to run away.

"This is so infuriating. This village girl is truly too hateful. She actually slaps my face in front of everyone." Madame Qian threw the teacup on the table angrily.

The housekeeper quickly picked up the two silver notes and passed them to her, "Madam, this village girl doesn't know what's good for herself. Should we send someone over?"

"There's no need for you to do that …" "Hmph …" "She's just a small village nun, she won't be able to create any waves. But she offended me, so in the future, don't even think about staying in this town …"

Luo Manman and Xiao Yiming did not know that their future career would be hindered.

"Wife, you're really a special daughter-in-law. You're unmoved by money."

"She doesn't put us in her eyes. Who knows if we care about her or not. She hates people who think so highly of themselves. But don't worry, I won't have anything to do with the Qian family anymore."

"Wife …" Xiao Yiming was moved, it was all for his sake, he refused all temptations, and swore to treat his wife even better.

When the couple sat in the ox-cart and returned to the Xiao family to eat lunch, Liu Shan came to the Xiao family.

Yiming, sister-in-law, I've already seen enough of the land since you asked me to look at it last time, but the quantity is a bit big, and there are some fertile fields next to the village next door. But the land is not bad, so let's go and take a look together.

"Being next door to the village is nothing, then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Liu Shan." Xiao Yiming was extremely excited when he heard it. He could imagine that he was someone who had a land to live in, someone who had a land to live in, someone who had a life of prosperity.

In the afternoon of the same day, the two of them went to take a look at the fields with Brother Liu Shan. Liu Shan was reliable indeed, the fields they found for him were all good and fertile lands, and the prices were fair.

Xiao Yiming was extremely satisfied on the spot, he told the seller that he would sign the contract immediately, and in the end, because Luo Manman was a wife that she had bought, she was unable to hang her name on the Xiao Clan's account, even though she had yet to settle down.

"Yiming, how about you write your name?" She believed in Xiao Yiming. Furthermore, with her ability to earn money, how would she care about such a small amount of land?

"Then what? We originally said that we were going to hang the name of our wife." The money was all earned by his wife, why was his name hanging on her name?

The seller was also anxious. He desperately needed money to sell the land and pay for his old mother's medical care.

Afraid that he would miss this opportunity, he hurriedly suggested, "Um, Brother Xiao, it's still early, why don't you bring your wife to the town to register your residence. When we return, we will sign our names."

"Alright, then I'll bring my wife to the town to register now." I just got back from town, and I have to go back.

Originally, Luo Manman did not want to go through all this trouble, but Xiao Yiming was determined not to agree. Fortunately, it was still early in the morning when he finished the household formalities, and finally got the land contract.
