There were no secrets in the little village, but if anything happened, the entire village would quickly find out.

The Ma family's four men were sent to the yamen. This matter quickly spread throughout the village.

"Sigh, have you heard? Old Ma's family has been sent off to the yamen."

"Tsk tsk, how could I not know? It's said that it was that ugly girl who did such a good thing."

"I really didn't expect the old widow to have two nephews."

"I think so. It might have been that ugly girl's fault. It's been so many years, but I've never heard of that old widow having any nephews."

"That's right, that's right."

When the villagers saw this, they couldn't help but discuss about it. However, they only pointed at it, not daring to step forward to bring misfortune upon the Ninth Mother and Old Widow. With two grown men in the family, their confidence was not the same. Although the Old Widow did not know who they were, she was still very happy.

"Aiyo, both of you, don't move. Don't move. I'll do it. I'll do it."

Seeing Wang Er and pockmarked duo drilling into the kitchen as if preparing to cook, the Widow immediately went up to stop them. "You're a grown man, what are you cooking for? Hurry up and leave, hurry up and leave."

"Old granny, it's alright. We will do that."

"Yes, yes, I will."

Although Jiu Niang didn't tell them to do anything, they couldn't possibly do nothing, right?

Besides, they were from poor families. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been forced to go with Hu San into the mountain to rob people. If they didn't rob people, they would have to starve to death. Fortunately, although Hu San wasn't a good person, he still had his principles. For example, they would never fight over a poor family's wealth and would only rob them of their ill-gotten wealth. Now that he had gone down the mountain with Hu San, he would loaner and collect the debts. Although he would occasionally make a move, he would also clean up things that were not in accordance with the rules. Nona had actually given her boss money and made him serve her like an old man or a young one. They felt very bad.

"Sigh, get out, get out, this old woman is here!"

But how could the old widow agree?

Originally, everyone in this family had been angry for so many years, but now there was this Ninth Mother. Now there were two people who claimed to be her nephews, and she knew in her heart that she had already broken off all relations with her mother. Where did these nephews come from, and even if they had, they probably wouldn't recognize her as an old fogey.

However, these two people had saved him and Jiu Niang. If it weren't for those two, Jiu Niang and himself, they would have been viciously attacked by Old Ma and his family.

"Old granny …"

"About that, old lady …"

"What is it? Are you two bored? "

When Jiu Niang entered the door, she saw the helpless look on Wang Er and Ma Zizi's faces. A look of satisfaction flashed in their eyes.

Other than letting them beat up Old Ma's family for a few days, she did not allow them to do anything else other than sending them to the yamen to test the waters. Although they would kill the people she had hired, they were not her people, so she didn't dare to easily order them around. Who knew if they were willing?

However, from the looks of it, these two did not take the opportunity to bully him and his grandma. It seemed that they could still be used.

"Miss."

"Miss."

Wang Er and Ma Zi clasped their hands and helplessly looked at Jiu Niang.

Originally, it would be good if he didn't do anything else when he had nothing better to do, but … But...

"Don't worry, I have something that I need your help with."

"Young mistress, if there's anything you need, just say it!"

"That's right, that's right!"

Both of them had a serious and respectful expression on their faces.

Where's 20 taels? They were invited by Nona to spend money. If she didn't want them to do anything, they would be worried.

After getting along with Hu San these few days, they could feel that both Nona and the Old Widow were good people, and that life was much more peaceful than when they were with Hu San. At the very least, he would be able to sleep soundly without having to worry about going out and risking his life everyday …

They naturally didn't dare to hope that they would be able to stay here forever. After all …

If they followed their boss, then they were their boss's men. Moreover, it was impossible for Nona to actually pay for them. As long as they were useful to Nona, they would be able to stay for one more day.

"Mm. Alright." Nodding, Jiu Niang put down the basket on her back and glanced around the kitchen. She saw the Old Widow hunched over, busy with her work. It seemed like she wouldn't be able to do well in a short time. Nona waved her hand, indicating that the two of them should follow her.

"I want to buy a house. It would be best if I could stay in the county. Do you have any way to help me find out?" When they were outside the door, Jiu Niang found a relatively secluded spot to scan the surroundings. After confirming that there was no one around, she slowly voiced out her thoughts, "If the county town is no good, then the town is fine too. But the house must be good, and the courtyard wall must be high."

"Eh? "Why?"

Buy a house? Wang Er looked doubtfully at Jiu Niang. He could understand why she would want to build a house. After all, the house was dilapidated, so it was only right to fix it. However, why did she suddenly say that she wanted to buy a house? And I have to buy it in town or town.

"This... You don't need to worry about it.

Slightly frowning, Jiu Niang didn't continue explaining and continued to pursue the topic.

If it was possible, she didn't want to leave the village. After all, it was much simpler to be in the village. She and her grandmother and the little one, if they went outside, they might encounter some trouble. But...

It had not rained for months and the water in the nearby river was almost dry...

If her guess was right and it was still not raining in two months, then perhaps it would be a terrible drought.

In the face of such natural disasters, the most pitiful ones were the elderly and children. Although it was just a guess, Jiu Niang still decided to make preparations.

"Buying a house is no problem. "But …"

"Miss, don't worry."

Wang Er wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the pockmarked brat, who very straightforwardly promised, "Miss only needs to say what you want, leave the rest to us."

They were also loitering outside, buying a house or something, and there was no problem at all.

"Mm. Alright."

Jiu Niang nodded in satisfaction and told the two of them in detail, "The house doesn't need to be big, but it must have a courtyard. It's best if it's in a busy city where the walls must be high!"

Yes, this was Ninth Mother's request.

If this was really what he had guessed, then … If that was the case, there would be a riot. It would be very dangerous to have a single family. Perhaps, he might be able to avoid a calamity in the busy city. But the fence has to be high... This must be done...

"Don't worry Miss, we will go and investigate. If there are any suitable people, we will inform Miss immediately."

Although she did not understand why Jiu Niang wanted to look for a house like this, she seemed to be a little anxious. The two of them did not waste any time and directly went out to look for a house.

Fortunately, the house wasn't difficult for them. Although they didn't know each other, there was someone who did!

For example, Hu San.

What kind of business was Hu San in? Was he not clear about the family background in this area?

Sure enough, Wang Er and Ma Zi went to Hu San and told him that Jiu Niang wanted to buy a house. Hu San immediately frowned, "Buying a house? What kind of house would a little girl buy? "

With his hands behind his back, Hu San walked around with a puzzled look on his face.

It was already shocking enough for this Ninth Madame to give him 20 taels of silver. Now she even wanted to buy a house, and even wanted to sell the house in the city. This was shocking enough for Hu San. There wasn't a hundred and eighty taels of silver in the houses in the city that could be taken down, but this girl …

"Yes, boss."

Wang Er and Ma Zi were also confused, but they did not say anything. They just obediently stood to the side.

Hu San walked around in confusion. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out. In the end, he gave up and said, "I got it. Bring her to me in two days!"

In the city, there were quite a few people that Hu San knew. However, he had his ways when it came to buying a house. Initially, there was no need for Hu San to step in. He just needed to introduce two familiar women to Wang Er and Ma Zizi and then bring Jiu Niang along. That granny broker was supposed to be doing this kind of business, so naturally, she would properly entertain Jiu Niang. However … But somehow, Hu San actually wanted to see for himself what was going on …

"Miss, Boss agreed to let us wait here."

Two days later, Jiu Niang followed Wang Er into the city. Since there was only one widow in the family, Jiu Niang, who was worried about her safety, Jiu Zi did not follow along. Instead, he took care of her at home. Even though Old Ma's family had taken a few blows and been fined silver, they did not suffer any major injuries. Nona was worried that they would take the opportunity to cause trouble.

"En, alright!"

Nona was sitting in the teahouse, leisurely drinking tea. She was in no hurry at all.

Seeing her attitude, Wang Er couldn't help but admire her.

It had to be said that although Jiu Niang was a little girl, her attitude was truly extraordinary. If it wasn't...

Wang Er couldn't help but glance at her face that was covered by the handkerchief. If it wasn't for that face that was full of pus, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to find a decent family in the future, right? After all, it was rare for him to have such grandeur. Not to mention anything else, he should be able to find a rich family and become a manager, right?

It was a pity about that face.

Let alone the young mistress of the Xiao Fu family, even ordinary people would not be interested in her.

Thinking of this, Wang Er could not help but shake his head. A trace of pity flashed through his eyes.

Sure enough, one was unrivalled. With a mind like his at such a young age, it was extremely rare and precious. Yet, he was forced to give birth to a face like this.

It didn't matter if he was a boy. As a man, he would look bad as long as he had the ability. It didn't matter if he was rich or not. What kind of things couldn't he find when he had the ability? However, no matter how capable this girl was, it all depended on her face.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. This is a friend of mine, there is nothing in this city that he doesn't know. Just tell him what kind of house you want to buy. "

Soon, Hu San hurried over, accompanied by a white-haired old lady.

This old woman understood Hu San's words before she came. She didn't despise Jiu Niang for being young, but instead greeted her in a very proper manner, "Greetings young lady. If you need anything, just tell this old one. This old one will definitely be satisfied."

Dentist business relied on a single mouth. She had worked in this industry for many years and had seen quite a few people buy and stow land. However, this was the first time she saw someone this young.

If he didn't have Hu San's guidance, then he would have to underestimate him. However, he would be able to do the same without Hu San's guidance.
