That bamboo forest was useless, it was a place left behind by the ancestors. Previously, it was their ancestral home, but because the bamboo forest was close to the mountain, and wild beasts would roam about there every night, the entire family moved into the village to live there. That bamboo forest was usually used to dig bamboo shoots or something, so it was useless.
However, Sixth Granduncle did not expect Village Head to actually help Wanqing out. Although the bamboo forest was not worth much money, but the place was big, even if she wanted to sell it, it would cost at least fifty taels of silver, so why would Wanqing want to buy the bamboo forest? Looking back, Wanqing came over with Village Head, could it be that the Village Head family thought that Wanqing had only split up and wanted to take him as their daughter-in-law?
Although Wanqing was dark, thin and small right now, she had a good foundation. In addition to that, she also had a pair of beautiful big eyes, so she would definitely be a beauty in the future. Could it be that the Village Head family had recognized this, and wanted to take advantage of it? That was why she got Village Head and Wanqing to come together to buy bamboo forests for Wanqing to keep for the future? She had to admit that the Sixth Granduncle was very smart.
"Wanqing, your grandfather knows that you are anxious to live a good life for your brother, but no matter what, you cannot use your happiness to stop him.
If you like that bamboo forest, then you should take your brother to play with it. But, it's not really good to live there in the past, because it's too close to the mountain, and at night, there will be ferocious beasts roaming about. It's really dangerous.
Also, you are a girl, so you should always be careful not to get tricked by others. Now that your branch family has passed, your great-grandmothers and I will definitely help you get a clear look in the future. Your age is indeed around the same.
But Village Head, you and your family are already so old, why do you want to take advantage of a girl like that? If you really want Wanqing to become your family's daughter-in-law, then come over and propose a marriage, and marry him in the proper way.
When Zhang Hongyang and Wanqing heard Sixth Granduncle's words, they immediately knew that they had misunderstood something. Wanqing hurriedly got up and looked at Sixth Granduncle, and said, "Thank you, Grandfather, but the money for buying this bamboo forest was indeed borrowed by me, and I did not sell myself. Furthermore, I believe that I will return it in a short period of time.
Wanqing's clear and forceful voice, coupled with the astute and confident look in her eyes made Sixth Granduncle somewhat unable to see the current Wanqing, but she had only been distracted for a moment.
"You are just a young lady, what kind of strength do you have to work so hard to earn money?" Sigh, Wanqing, just live peacefully at home, don't think about anything else! " Sixth Granduncle still did not believe Wanqing. In fact, she was right, under normal circumstances, how much ability could a little girl have to earn money? It was not because he looked down on others, but because the matter now was right in front of him and it was extremely difficult to find a livelihood. Even if Wanqing had the ability to leave the Mu Family, he could not let herself die from exhaustion, right?
After all, Sixth Granduncle truly loved Wanqing and Wanqing dearly, and from young until now, she had always felt pain in her heart. Wanqing knew about all of this, but there were some things that she had to do, and her future life could only be decided by herself.
"If that's the case, then grandpa, I'll take Dou Dou and leave first. If grandpa Bamboo Forest isn't selling it, then I'll go and see where else I can buy it!" As Wanqing was about to stand up, she opened her mouth to speak.
"Sixth Granduncle Mu, Wanqing is a clever girl, now that they have separated, this is the beginning of their new life. I know that you feel sorry for the girl, but you must believe that the girl can live a good life. If you truly want to do this for the sake of the two siblings, then just sell the Bamboo Forest off. Do you really have to force the little girl to leave here? "
"How could I? Aren't I worried that she's been tricked?" Furthermore, Wanqing is just a little girl, what can she do to earn that much silver? "
"Grandfather, I believe in elder sister!" Dou Dou's eyes were wide open as she pulled at Sixth Granduncle's clothes, looking at him in anticipation.
At this time, he walked in and looked at Sixth Granduncle, "Old man, if you don't want to sell the bamboo forest to the girl, then we'll go over and take a look. If you want to help the girl, why don't you give Dou Dou your future wife some money?"
Wanqing smiled as she looked at Sixth Granduncle, and said once again, "Grandfather, I know you are worried about us two, but you must believe me, since we can split up, I can lead a good life, and lead a peaceful life. I will make sure that those people who looked down upon me before long won't even have the qualifications to look up to me, so Grandfather, put your heart in your stomach.
Wanqing's words were filled with a domineering aura, causing everyone present to tremble. Sixth Granduncle didn't know why, but it was as if a beam of light had appeared in front of him, illuminating the bewilderment in her heart.
"Hehe, you little girl, you're still going up to the sky? Why don't you go down to the sea? Alright, since you want to buy it, then I'll sell it. But do you remember that no matter what happens in the future, your great-grandfather's family will always be your backing? "
In order to not let himself feel too much sadness, he hurriedly changed the topic, "Thank you Grandfather, when I went to town today, I helped Grandfather choose these clothes for his family. I don't know if it looked good, but Grandmother spent so much effort to make some clothes for me!"
As Wanqing said this, she took the cloth that Village Head had placed on the table and passed it to her grandmother, causing the old lady to not dare to accept it. Not because of how good the material was, but because Wanqing had brought this cloth here, causing Wanqing to split up.
"You child, why are you so extravagant? Take these cloths back, you and your sister can make a lot of clothes, you can't spend money like this from now on, okay? But we will keep your heart! " However, Wanqing did not take it back, but smiled and said, "Grandmother, rest assured, I know what I'm doing, and this is something I should be filial to all of you!" Wanqing spoke with sincerity, and if she did not accept it, it would be somewhat unreasonable. The two Sixth Granduncle and Su Yun looked at each other, then accepted it, "It's only this one time, how about next time?"
With Village Head as a witness, that bamboo forest and thatched cottage, Sixth Granduncle had sold the bamboo forest for forty silver, which was ten silver less than what he had budgeted. Wanqing was very grateful, and spent the night at Sixth Granduncle's house, buying all of the things he wanted to leave with Village Head for the time being. Because of the carriage, he could help pull the bamboo forest into the bamboo forest tomorrow.
Village Head left as if the brother and sister pair were arranged to live together with their ancestor grandmother, while Sixth Granduncle lived together with his only son, who wasn't even married yet.
Just as everyone was resting, no one expected that there would be a black shadow that would leave from the corner of Sixth Granduncle's house. This person was none other than the neighbor of Sixth Granduncle, and at the same time, the big brother of her mother from Mu Family. That's right, Madame Zhou was someone from my village.
had returned home before nightfall, and from afar, he saw Village Head and Wanqing walk into Sixth Granduncle's house. Furthermore, Village Head was carrying two pieces of cloth in his hands, which caused Zhou Dacheng, who was living a short life, to become more lively, and adding that the entire village already knew about Wanqing's branch family, Zhou Dacheng just wanted to know why the two of them came over so late.
He quietly climbed over the wall and quietly squatted down by the corner to listen. He really didn't know whether to listen or not, but upon hearing that, he was shocked. No matter if it was borrowed or not, it was all Wanqing's now, right? Even if she spent 40 taels of silver now, she would still have a lot in her hands.
That was 40 taels of silver! If he could get it, how good would it be? Even if he couldn't take all of them, taking half of them wouldn't be too bad, right?
He quickly climbed over the wall to discuss this matter with his wife. He wanted to see how he could make Wanqing sell the bamboo forest, or find Mu Sixth Granduncle to say that he wasn't going to buy it, so he returned the silver back.
"Is that true?" Did that Wanqing girl really borrow dozens of silver from Village Head? And even bought the bamboo forest in Sixth Granduncle? " Zhou Dacheng's wife asked Zhou Dacheng in shock. The light in his eyes was no less than Zhou Dacheng's;
Zhou Dacheng said, "Then how can it be fake? I heard it myself, and even bought two large pieces of cloth for them, they are all good materials! If you make clothes for our family, they won't be able to wear it for a few years, do you think we have any way to get the things in that girl's hands? "
"Hmph. That girl actually has this sort of ability?" I didn't know that every time I saw her, she would act so submissive, it was all an act. If that's the case, then don't blame us for being impolite, we'll go find her tomorrow morning, hmph, I don't believe that my sister and her mother-in-law will let that bitch go after finding out about this matter. "
Early morning of the second day, just as dawn broke, the Mu Family old lady and the Madame Zhou both headed towards Sixth Granduncle's home in a rage. Many of the workers were alarmed, curious as to what the two of them were going to do.
After all, they were in the countryside, so they did not have that much fun to entertain. After lunch, the conversation would only be about family and friends, and today, Madame Zhou and Yue Yang were obviously there to entertain everyone.
Madame Zhou was elated, "The more people, the better. Little bitch, I want to see if you dare to not give me the silver later."
