Soon the two of them reached the end of the street.
This is a dead end alley, and the yard at the end is the yard for sale.
Residents on both sides of the alley don't go this way either.
"Outward is along the river. The residents on this side all open their doors towards the river, and the residents on that side all open their doors towards the street, so almost no one walks in this alley." Yu Qiao explained clearly.
"Can this house open to the river or the street?" Shen Qingyu was more interested in this.
"Of course you can't, otherwise I would have asked someone to buy it, and it wouldn't have been at this price." Yuqiao giggled.
"Oh..." Shen Qingyu didn't care and walked into the yard.
The yard is desolate and dilapidated, with four rooms and several leaky places on the roof.
Just make up for it.
There is also a well in the yard, which is really convenient if you live here.
Shen Qingyu looked around and asked Yuqiao: "How much does this yard cost at least?"
Yuqiao looked outside the door and lowered her voice: "The landlord only wants one hundred taels of silver, and any extra money will go to my mother."
Shen Qingyu took a breath of cold air.
Mrs. Chen is so dark!
I actually want to eat the price difference of fifty taels in one bite!
"Then how much money do you think I should pay?" Shen Qingyu asked, looking into Yu Qiao's eyes.
"If you keep the one hundred taels of silver and bid, my mother won't be able to spare me. How about... can I add ten taels of silver? Can you offer one hundred and ten taels of silver?" Yuqiao hesitated and gave a suggestion.
Shen Qingyu smiled: This girl is a sensible person.
If you know how to protect yourself, you will also be able to explain clearly the reasons so that people will not hold grudges.
At the same time, it also takes into account the interests of multiple parties.
"That's OK." Shen Qingyu readily agreed.
Yuqiao immediately became happy: "Then first congratulations to my boss!"
Shen Qingyu was also happy: he was still climbing up the ladder.
She didn't even agree to ask her to do something, but she asked her employer first.
"Since you called me boss, I have a job for you, will you do it?" Shen Qingyu asked with a smile.
"What kind of job? Boss, just tell me."
"This house needs to be repaired. You live in the town. Help me find someone to repair it. I will pay you later. Do you think that's okay?"
Yuqiao patted her chest: "What's wrong with that? Just leave it to me."
"Then how much does it cost to repair this?"
Yuqiao looked around: "If you give me twenty taels of silver, I can fix it neatly!"
"Then..." Shen Qingyu agreed without saying a word.
The next thing will be easy to handle. Go to the town office to go through the formalities, give the money, and then go home.
When standing at the street corner to say goodbye to Yuqiao, Shen Qingyu looked at the shop and was a little tempted: If he could buy a shop and sell glutinous rice and braised pork in the future, no one would have to run back and forth to the town.
Yuqiao had good eyesight and immediately asked: "Master, do you want to buy a shop?"
Shen Qingyu smiled and nodded: "It's best if it's close to my house. It doesn't have to be big, just a small shop."
"That's easy to handle. Leave it to me. I'll tell you when I find the right one."
After visiting the town, buying a yard, and finding a good candidate for a female shopkeeper, Shen Qingyu walked home in a good mood.
Seeing that she was about to get home, Shen Qingyu remembered that she had forgotten to buy some snacks for the children.
In the blink of an eye, Shen Qingyu laughed: What does our space mall not have?
Shen Qingyu bought peanut candies and yam cakes in the space mall. Shen Qingyu found that the price of coarse grains in the space mall had also dropped accordingly, reaching six cents per pound.
Shen Qingyu did not expect that six cents per pound would be the cheapest price for grains in the next three years...
After returning home, the children were very happy to receive their mother.
Shen Qingyu watched Dabao distribute the peanut jelly and yam cake to Erbao and Xiaobao one by one, and reached out to touch Dabao's head.
Dabao narrowed his eyes and smiled with satisfaction.
When Erbao saw it, he quickly stretched his head over and said, "Mom, I want to touch you too!"
Xiaobao quickly stretched his head over: "Touch! Me! I want it too!"
Shen Qingyu smiled and touched each one one by one. The three little guys all giggled and shrank their little necks.
Wen Che looked at this harmonious scene and was a little stunned.
Why doesn't my cousin cherish such a woman and such a child?
After leaving them struggling to survive for six years, they still foolishly divorced?
The children's laughter was also heard by Cheng Ping, who was limp in the room.
Reclining on the quilt, he looked at the smiles of Shen Qingyu and the three children through the window lattice, and he was completely mesmerized.
He has never experienced such happiness.
It was almost dark when Widow Xiao came over dressed in black. She stood silently at the door of the courtyard, which shocked Shen Qingyu!
"You...who are you?"
Only then did Widow Xiao speak out: "Sister Qingyu, I want to ask you something..."
It turned out that Widow Xiao had no rice to cook with. She knew that no family in the village was rich, except Shen Qingyu's family, which was prospering recently, so she came to ask for help shamelessly.
"I just planted the green vegetables today, and it will take several months to pickle them into sauerkraut... I can't last a few months, so I just want to ask if I can borrow some grain from you first to last two or three months.
…”
Widow Xiao was stumbling as she spoke, rubbing her clothes with her hands, and her head dropped to her chest.
Shen Qingyu remembered in a daze: This widow was afraid of getting into trouble. She always lived behind closed doors. She never dealt with shrews like herself and would always take a detour when meeting her.
This is also forcing me to have no choice.
Shen Qingyu thought about his follow-up plan, and with a plan in mind, he nodded readily: "Yes, how much do you want to borrow?"
"This... you are so kind... I used to..." Widow Xiao raised her head in surprise and became even more incoherent.
"How much do you want to borrow?" Shen Qingyu didn't have the patience to nag her.
"Just borrow twenty kilograms of grains..." Widow Xiao lowered her head to her chest again.
"Twenty pounds of grains? Last three months?" Shen Qingyu was shocked.
They still have two children at home!
It won’t be possible to harvest rice and wheat for three months...
"You can dig some wild vegetables and cook some grain porridge, and you can get through it." Widow Xiao smiled sarcastically, with tears in the corners of her eyes.
Fragments of memories appeared in her mind, and Shen Qingyu suddenly felt sad: Didn't her family live like this before?
Multigrain porridge with wild vegetables, whether you are full or hungry.
It's been a few good days, and now I can be condescending and pity others.
After making fun of herself, Shen Qingyu neatly gave Widow Xiao twenty kilograms of cereals.
Widow Xiao thanked her profusely and left. Shen Qingyu was about to cook when the three children entered the kitchen.
It turned out that Xiao Yunqi and Shen Dasong hadn't come back yet, and the children started to panic.
"Mom, my father hasn't come back yet..."
"Is something going to happen to him?"
"Are there any bad guys on the road?"
"Could it be that the mountain collapsed and they were buried..."
The more they talked, the more frightened they became. As they talked, the triplets began to cry, "Wow..." and burst into tears.
Shen Qingyu sighed, feeling restless and wanting to run away.
I'm coming!
Started crying again!
"Mom... Wow..."
Shen Qingyu's head hurt from the bump, and she couldn't bear it any longer: "Don't cry, your dad will be fine. I'll go out and pick them up right now..."
