Xiao Qian's face turned red and he muttered: "What are you talking about? Dad is not that kind of person."
She paused and then said: "I was just thinking that there are more and more people in the family, and now everyone is of the same mind, but the children are getting older, and when there are more people, they will inevitably have more ideas, even if they know that the shop is Manbao
Those who paid for it should be used as dowry for Man Bao."
"But as time goes by, over the years, you will inevitably forget something. It will take at least six or seven years for Man Bao to get married. I guess my parents feel sorry for Man Bao, and maybe it will take eight or nine years for Man Bao to get married.
It's possible that if I give Manbao the shop under my father's name to make a dowry by then, I'm afraid someone in the family will feel uncomfortable."
Xiao Qian said in a low voice: "In that case, why not put it in Man Bao's name early in the morning, then it will be justifiable for her to take the shop away."
Don't mention it being recorded in her name. This shop was not brought in as a dowry, nor was their big house bought with their own money. When the parents-in-law pass a hundred years later, these things will have to be divided.
Xiao Qian naturally had his own selfish motives, thinking that it would not be worth messing up the family's hearts for such a shop; if it was really going to be messed up, the benefits should fall on his own side.
And Manbao was obviously classified as one of his own.
Of course, Xiao Qian would not tell Zhou Dalang this, because in Zhou Dalang's heart, his sister is one of his own, and his brothers and nephews are also his own.
Anyway, the couple had already agreed at this moment that it was necessary to put the shop under Man Bao's name.
Early the next morning, Zhou Lang chatted with his father and asked everyone to go to the county town to help. "The tables, chairs and benches inside have to be bought, and the inside and outside have to be cleaned. If there is anything that needs to be purchased, it will be done before the year."
Now, we can open as soon as the Chinese New Year is over.”
Lao Zhou thought about it and thought it made sense, so he waved his hand and said: "Okay, except for the third and fourth wives at home to take care of the children, everyone else can go wherever they want. By the way, boss, I'll buy some food on the way.
When I bring back my things, the New Year’s goods prepared at home may not be enough.”
He said: "You have eaten too much in the past two days."
He decided that after buying the shop, he had to go to the village for a good stroll. He would definitely have to carry some things during this trip.
Moreover, when their family bought a shop in the county town, they had to report it to Li Zheng. When they came to the door, they had to bring some good snacks, preferably a piece of bacon...
Thinking about these favors, Lao Zhou felt a headache and felt happy. He told Zhou Dalang what he wanted to buy and waved them away.
Zhou Dalang decided to go with an ox cart.
Man Bao did not sit with them, but ran directly to the entrance of the village to sit with Bai Shanbao and the others. As for the money, early in the morning, she had just packed her backpack and was carried over by Zhou Erlang.
He couldn't rest assured that he had so much money just thrown into a basket, so it was safer to put it under his nose.
Manbao didn't worry about this kind of thing, so he climbed onto the cart and discussed with Bai Shanbao where to eat delicious food after she finished her work.
Bai Shanbao said: "Didn't you say that after we get the deed documents, we go to Magistrate Yang to have a look? Let's go to Magistrate Yang's house to eat delicious food?"
"Huh? Okay, okay," Man Baole said, "I heard that County Magistrate Yang is getting a wife. We can go see if there is anything we can do to help."
Bai Erlang laughed and asked, "Are you going to be a bed-rolling boy?"
Bai Shanbao pushed him and said, "What's wrong with being a boy on a rolling bed? This is a blessing!"
Man Bao said: "There are a lot of things to do about getting married. You can tell that no happy events have been held at home. You don't know at all. There are so many things we can do to help."
Bai Erlang: "...Huh, my eldest brother will also get married in a few years. I will naturally know when he gets married."
The conversation was lively here, and the oxcart behind was even more noisy. Zhou Dalang couldn't help but walk away and let Datou, who was sitting in the cart, hold the cart by himself.
When Liu Lang finished talking to them, he ran forward to sit on Bai Shanbao's bullock cart. When the children saw it, the second and third heads also climbed out of the cart and slipped over.
A group of children didn't have to wait for the car to stop when they were getting on and off. They jumped down and ran over, then jumped up again and got on the bullock cart again.
Children always have endless things to talk about when they get together. Even if they see a wild flower on the roadside, they can talk about it for a long time. It is obviously so common...
Daji now felt like he had a headache.
A group of people headed to the county town noisily. As soon as they arrived at the city gate, they found a shed outside the city and stopped. They paid two cents for someone to keep and guard the oxen and the oxcart.
This shed was built after this year's autumn harvest. I heard that it was built by a group of idle gangsters in the city. Because Magistrate Yang paid the entrance fee, many people came to the city during the off-season or during festivals.
Some livestock pulled carts in, so that the streets in the city smelled of cow dung. Later, County Magistrate Yang issued regulations, "All livestock entering the city, including but not limited to cows, horses, donkeys, and mules,
As long as you poop in the street, the owner must clean it up. If you can't clean it up, you have to give two cents to the government officials patrolling the street to clean the streets, and you will be charged one time at a time."
Later, someone built this shed outside the city. It was not far from the city gate, but not very close. It was on both sides of the road. It was very spacious, and there were countless open spaces behind it for use.
No matter whether it is an ox cart, a mule cart, or a donkey cart, the price of a cart is two cents. Well, except for the carriage. It is said that the payment is based on the luxury of the cart. Anyway, the last time they came with the carriage, they were charged.
I received five cents.
After leaving the cart and the oxen behind, and taking the bamboo sticks as proof, everyone headed into the city in a hurry.
Shi Xiaoen, who was sitting on the threshold in front of the shop in a daze, looked up and saw Man Bao coming with a large group of people cheering, his mouth wide open.
He just sells a shop, right?
Knowing that Zhou Dalang and the others were here to clean up the shop, Shi Xiaoen breathed a sigh of relief, took out the written documents and the house deed, and said: "I invited Li Zheng to be a witness. They should be here soon."
Man Bao read it and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the deed document, so he wanted to fill in the sister-in-law's name on it. Xiao Qian quickly said: "Man Bao, let your second brother do this. Don't you want to go see the county magistrate with the young master and the others?
Well, you have to buy something, right?"
Xiao Qian smiled and said: "You go shopping first, we can just do the shop ourselves."
Zhou Erlang smiled and asked, "Uncle Shi, Man Bao, have you made a contract of one hundred and twenty taels?"
Shi Xiaoen glanced at them, nodded slowly and said, "Yes."
Zhou Erlang took the pen from Man Bao's hand and said with a smile: "Go quickly, don't run too far."
Man Bao whispered: "Second brother, we still want to go to County Magistrate Yang to take a look at the documents."
