Chapter 137 The male protagonist’s best mother-in-law (twenty-four)
only--
It's not the yard that my father had in mind.
Zhao Qingyun was a little disappointed.
Then, he shook his head in a funny way.
What am I thinking about?
Although grandma and dad have a very good relationship, grandma is even more sincere towards dad.
However, my father protected my mother-in-law very well.
Dad handles all matters at home and outside the home alone.
Buying a house or land is a big deal in the family, so dad might tell grandma about it.
I probably confessed after I bought a house and was ready to move!
On the contrary, Zhao Qingyun, as the eldest son of the family, is smart and precocious. Sometimes, Zhao Guodong would bypass his wife and discuss things directly with him.
Zhao Qingyun seriously suspected that grandma might not even know that dad wanted to buy a house!
How does she know the specific location?
"This is right! This is my grandma!"
After being disappointed, Zhao Qingyun felt inexplicably at ease.
Zhao Qingyun is a sensitive and perceptive person. His mother's previous "accidental attack" surprised him, but at the same time, he still had hidden doubts in his heart.
Grandma shouldn’t be like this!
Although she was indeed fooled as stupidly as before, but the ending was too good.
Zhao Qingyun believes in the existence of "good luck", but he is so lucky and it is very abnormal to have such good luck all the time!
It's not that he doesn't expect his mother to become strong and become a truly capable woman.
But, this is unrealistic!
Grandma is almost thirty, and her character has already been determined.
The death of your husband is indeed a huge blow.
But Zhao Qingyun did not think that A Niang would become smarter and more capable because of such a blow.
To put it bluntly, Zhao Qingyun would never dare to think like this in his wildest dreams!
"Da Lang, your father once said that he would send you to the county academy to study!"
"I didn't understand much about this, so I went to discuss it with Sister Cui. Sister Cui said that Baiyun Academy is excellent!"
"Sister Cui is well-informed and smart. If she says yes, it will be great!"
"However, our home is too far away from the academy, and it is inconvenient for you to go to and from school. Sister Cui asked me to buy a yard in the county."
Gu Qingcheng didn't seem to feel Zhao Qingyun's emotional change. She followed her own thinking, pointed to the two black wooden doors and said, "Here! I asked someone from the dental shop to buy this courtyard."
As he spoke, Gu Qingcheng seemed to have thought of something. He looked around and saw that the neighbors on both sides had their doors closed.
There are no people on the street.
However, Gu Qingcheng still lowered his voice, mysteriously and secretly proud: "Dalang, Erlang, let me tell you, this time my mother-in-law found a treasure!"
"This yard is not small. There are grape trellises planted in the yard and there is a well behind the house."
"The houses were just renovated in the past two years. The roofs do not leak and there is no grass growing on the courtyard walls."
"The most important thing is-"
The corners of Gu Qingcheng's mouth couldn't help but curl up, and the pride had already overflowed, "There is a lot of mahogany furniture in the house."
"I secretly asked someone to find out, and they said these furniture are worth a lot of money."
"With three hundred taels of silver, we not only bought a big yard, but also a lot of furniture. We made a huge profit!"
Zhao Qingyun: ...I don’t want to throw cold water on my mother, but I have a feeling that my mother must have been fooled again!
Sure enough, Gu Qingcheng triumphantly opened the courtyard door with the key, led his two sons through the courtyard and came to the main room.
Then--
"Where's the furniture?"
"Why did it become black elm?"
Gu Qingcheng's smiling face suddenly fell.
She ignored her two sons and walked around the room with a look of eagerness.
There was not even a trace of that set of mahogany furniture, which was said to be worth more than one hundred taels.
It was replaced by dark elm furniture.
However, despite being "replaced", the furniture in the house is still complete.
In the main room there is an Eight Immortals table, two official hat chairs, a high table in the corner, and there are beds and other items in the east and west wing rooms.
To say that Gu Qingcheng was deceived is not enough.
But there was no "missing out" as she expected, and she even suffered a small loss.
"Liar! The people from the dental shop and the landlord cheated me!"
After walking around in a big circle, Gu Qingcheng was panting from exhaustion and dripping with sweat.
The beautiful face turned red with anger, Gu Qingcheng said bitterly, "I, I want to find them!"
Zhao Qingyun grabbed his mother, resisted the urge to sigh, and said, "Mom, what did the landlord say when he sold the house?"
Gu Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and replied: "There is a courtyard, a total of seven large cabins, a grape trellis in the front yard, a well in the back of the house, and all the furniture in the house!"
Zhao Qingyun nodded and pointed to the courtyard, "One courtyard!"
Then, he stretched out his hand and pulled through the five main rooms plus a kitchen room and a utility room. "There are seven large and small houses in total."
Zhao Qingsong was very smart and picked up clues from the conversation between his mother-in-law and his brother.
He followed his brother's example and pointed to the grape trellis in the front yard with his chubby little hand, "One grape trellis in the front yard!"
A smile flashed in Zhao Qingyun's eyes, "There is also a well behind the house, we have all gone to see it!"
No matter how "stupid" Gu Qingcheng was, he understood what his two sons meant when he heard them talking to each other one by one.
"Yes, but when I came to see the house, all the furniture in the house was made of mahogany!"
Zhao Qingyun and Zhao Qingsong looked at each other, and then said in unison, "They only said that it comes with all the furniture in the house!"
There is no mention of giving away mahogany furniture.
Black lacquered elm furniture is also the whole house furniture!
Nothing wrong!
Not to mention lying!
Gu Qingcheng looked at his two sons, then at the dark furniture, and his eyes began to fill with moisture.
She pursed her lips and said with some frustration, "I, I've been fooled again! I'm so useless!"
I originally wanted to find out, but I didn't want to be deceived.
What is this called?
Stealing the chicken will end up losing the rice.
"Auntie, how did you get fooled?"
Zhao Qingyun saw his mother blaming herself and feeling sad, and there was a gloomy aura lingering all over her body.
He quickly took Gu Qingcheng's arm and comforted her softly, "Look at this courtyard. It's right behind the academy. It won't take more than a quarter of an hour to walk there."
"The yard is neat and tidy, the house is clean, there are grape trellises, a well, and a complete set of furniture. We can move in here."
"There are also neighbors on the left and right. Although I haven't visited them yet, I see that the courtyard is well kept. They should be well-behaved and decent people."
The location is good, the courtyard is neat, and the neighbors are not the best. This house sold at a good price!
At most, I didn’t get the advantage as my mother wanted!
"Yes! Mom, I like it very much! Especially this yard, it's so big, not smaller than our house at all!"
"I'm going to build a wooden frame here and put some stone pillars there. After we move, we can continue to practice martial arts."
Zhao Qingsong also felt his mother's frustration and quickly smiled to comfort her.
"It's really nice here? I-I wasn't cheated?"
When Gu Qingcheng heard the persuasion of her two sons, she twisted her two tender fingers around. She quietly raised her eyes and glanced at her two sons.
Zhao Qingyun did not speak in a hurry. He asked thoughtfully, "Have you signed both the white deed and the red deed?"
When buying a house these days, the contract signed privately between the seller and the buyer is a white contract.
If the white deed is sent to the government for certification and sealing, it belongs to the red deed.
Only white contracts are not very safe and can easily be exploited.
It is safer if both the white deed and the red deed are completed. Even if something goes wrong, the government will pursue it.
"It's signed! All the white and red deeds are complete! The teether I'm looking for is a serious dental practitioner and very well-behaved!"
Gu Qingcheng said hurriedly.
"Isn't this safe? You have not been deceived!"
Zhao Qingyun was afraid that his mother-in-law didn't even know how to sign the red deed and would be deceived by Yazi and the landlord.
However, upon second thought, Zhao Qingyun knew: This is unlikely.
It cannot be said that everyone in the county town knows that my own mother and the county's wife opened a drug store in partnership, but everyone doing business on the street should have heard about it.
Not to mention, my mother-in-law found a regular dental shop.
The teeth in this kind of tooth shop may use some tricks, but they dare not openly deceive.
Grandma’s house purchase this time was just a normal transaction. She didn’t take up all the money, but she didn’t suffer any loss either.
Zhao Qingyun was already very satisfied and felt inexplicably at ease.
Gu Qingcheng got confirmation from her son that she had not been deceived, and her depression improved.
She did not continue to cry, but returned to her usual appearance.
However, Zhao Qingyun, who has sharp ears, still heard his mother's whisper: "I thought I became more powerful, but I didn't expect-"
I don’t know if my mother didn’t finish what she said next, or if Zhao Qingyun didn’t hear clearly.
Zhao Qingyun couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips: It turned out that not only was he shocked by his mother's "wrong beating", but even his own mother had wrong judgments about him because of his past "accomplishments"!
She is still the confused, soft-eared, and easily deceived Gu family of the Zhao family!
…
After buying a house, Gu's mother and son began planning to move.
Everyone in the Zhao family's old house was shocked: "What? Are you moving to the county?"
Everyone was surprised at first, and then became envious and jealous.
Alas, how much money Zhao Guodong left behind could actually allow this orphan and widower to buy a house in the county.
Then, everyone became a little happy: "Gu's moved away, so we don't have to continue working for her?"
Patriarch Zhao:...Dream!
How long has it been since then that you guys want to give up your life?
As the saying goes, if you don’t work, you will pay back the money!
What?
Gu's mother and son have moved to the county seat, and they can't help anymore?
Patriarch Zhao chuckled, "Who said you don't need help when you go to the county? It's not like in our countryside, where every vegetable or egg costs money!"
"As for you, every family goes to deliver some vegetables, eggs, etc. to Mrs. Gu every ten days."
"When delivering things, I would also fetch water and chop firewood for Mrs. Gu and her son."
"By the way, there are a few more kids, please make arrangements. Go to the county to accompany Mrs. Gu, and give her a hand by the way."
"For orphans and widowers, even if they leave Zhaojiazhuang and go to the county, they cannot be bullied!"
Patriarch Zhao almost made the final decision and once again arranged errands for the people in the old house...
