Erqing was with him throughout the whole process. After completing the handover of the house and land deeds, he sent Old Ancestor Mu back to Mu's house.

On the way, in the mule cart, Erqing took out a fifty-tael silver note and gave it to Old Ancestor Mu: "This is the red envelope given to you by the little boss, please keep it."

Old Ancestor Mu couldn't see clearly, but he vaguely knew that it was a banknote. He waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, the girl from the Gu family has helped the old lady a lot, so that she can rest in peace even after she dies. I'll give you this banknote." Can’t take any more.”

The girl from the Gu family was kind enough to give her three thousand taels of silver, but she would feel bad if she took another fifty taels.

She knew very well about the house at home. It was an old house that had not been repaired in twenty years. Every time it was windy or rainy, it was swaying like a boat and could collapse at any time. It was not worth anything at all.

The Mu family's fourth grandson's daughter-in-law was also there. She kept her head down and didn't dare to look at the bank note. She wanted to persuade the grandma to accept it, but she felt that it was not good to take advantage of the Gu family.

Erqing said with a smile: "You can just accept it. Our little boss said that life is already rare, but you are an old man and a blessed person. This bank note should be given to our little boss's father." Mom is praying, I hope they can live to be old."

After hearing this, Old Ancestor Mu finally fumbled around to accept the banknote: "Old lady, thank you very much Miss Gu. Girl, go back and tell Miss Gu that the old lady will definitely pray for her and her parents."

Erqing just responded with a smile and didn't say much.

In fact, these fifty taels of silver were given to Old Ancestor Mu by the Xiaodong family. There were too many descendants of the Mu family, and the whole family was in a mess. Old Ancestor Mu's life was difficult, and having a little money on him would make his life easier.

The mule cart clanked for half an hour and finally arrived in front of Mu's house in the north of the city.

The Mu family members were all waiting at the gate. When they saw the mule cart coming again, they hurriedly gathered around.

Mr. Mu was also an old man in his sixties, but he was very angry at this moment. He pointed at Erqing, banged his cane and cursed: "You stinky girl, what did you do with my mother? The old man tells you, don't I'm thinking of attacking my mother. This house of mine is the ancestral house, the ancestral house! I won't sell it if I don't have ten thousand taels!"

Erqing smiled. If the young master were here, he would definitely say: "Old man, since your house is so valuable, then you can just trade it with the emperor for the throne."

From 5,000 to 8,000, and then to 10,000, I have never seen such a price increase.

The other members of the Mu family shouted, "Yes, this house of mine is the ancestral house. You can't even try to trick my grandma into selling it to you at a cheap price!"

The eldest great-grandson of the Mu family was also so anxious that he rushed over to support Mu Laozu and cried: "Grandma, you can't sell the house to them cheaply. If you don't sell it for 8,000 taels, we have twenty cousins." But if you don’t get enough money, you won’t even have enough money to get a wife. Aunt Dai said that one hundred taels is just the gift money, and we have to give an extra 100 taels for the warm wife and fifty taels for the banquet.”

The Dai family also lived in the north of the city and had always been in the market. They were very well-informed. When they learned that someone wanted to buy the Mu family's house, they called the Mu family's great-grandson and told them that they would have to pay more money before marrying off Tang Niang. Something for him.

He had seen Erqing come several times, and today he took his grandmother as a guest. He thought that the young owner would not give up his house, so he agreed.

Patriarch Mu has always felt sorry for his great-grandson and wanted to marry him a good wife, but the Dai family is a bottomless pit. Although Dai Tangniang looks good, she is not a good person. She worked as a maid in Mr. Wu's house two years ago, but was sent back later. I heard that she had an affair with the head butler of the Wu family.

Although the Dai family has always denied it, the Wu family is in the city. The Wu family's servants also mentioned this, saying that Dai Tangniang wanted to be transferred to the young master's house as a maid to provide benefits to the housekeeper, but she secretly The chicken failed and the rice fell into the hands of the housekeeper.

Listening to his great-great-grandson's words, Patriarch Mu raised his hand and said, "Brother Tai, stand still."

The eldest great-grandson of the Mu family didn't know what Patriarch Mu wanted to do. He thought that if he obeyed, he would be able to get money and marry a wife, so he said "Hey" and stood still.

But as soon as he stood up, Patriarch Mu slapped him in the face and cursed: "If you dare to marry Dai Tangniang, get out of the Mu family immediately. There are twenty great-grandchildren in the Mu family, and you are missing one." , the other nineteen can get an extra amount of money!"

The eldest great-grandson of the Mu family was stunned. Growing up, his grandmother loved him the most and never hit him. Now he just wanted to marry Tang Niang, and her grandmother actually beat him.

"Grandma, you sold the house? That means you are rich. Why don't you let me marry Tang Niang? Tang Niang has been waiting for me for two years. If you wait any longer, you will become an old girl!"

Patriarch Mu ignored the great-great-grandson of the Mu family and said one last thing to him: "I still say the same thing, if you want to marry Dai Tangniang, get out of the Mu family. Although the Mu family is poor, don't be a turtle bastard." grandson!"

These words clearly told the great-great-grandson of the Mu family that Dai Tangniang was no longer a daughter, but a person with a broken body.

The eldest great-grandson of the Mu family had also heard some rumors, but Tang Niang cried and told him that those were all lies. She was innocent and wanted to live a poor life with him, but her parents did not agree. , a generous betrothal gift is required.

The fourth granddaughter-in-law of the Mu family couldn't stand it anymore and said to the eldest great-grandson of the Mu family: "Eldest nephew, go to the north of the city and ask how many people know about Dai Tangniang's affairs? Only you who are stupid will believe her. She is so proud and arrogant, and the Dai family hates money so much. If Dai Tangniang was still innocent, how could she like you? She would have gone after the rich young master a long time ago."

Liu Liu'er, who sells night fragrance in the north of the city, is pretty good, but her appearance is just average, not as good as Dai Tangniang. But Brother Tai doesn't like her, and he also dislikes the Liu family for digging out cesspits, which makes Liu Liu'er so angry that he almost cries to death. past.

Finally, Liu Liuer figured it out. He got married last year and was a small street vendor in the city. Now he is living a prosperous life. Only Brother Tai still died in Dai Tangniang's body and was a bachelor.

After hearing this, the great-great-grandson of the Mu family felt his face burning. He was even more embarrassed than being slapped by Patriarch Mu, but he just liked Dai Tangniang. Tangniang was so beautiful, but she was a flower in the north of the city.

Mr. Mu came back to his senses and asked: "Mom, you said you divided the money, did you really sell the house? How much was sold? But eight thousand taels?!"

No matter what, it must be five thousand.

Ancestor Mu laughed angrily, smacked him, and said, "Eight thousand taels, are you dreaming?"

Then he said to everyone in the Mu family: "The house has been sold for three thousand taels. The money has been divided among you. If you want this money, just come back to the countryside with me. If you don't go back, you won't get a penny."

"Three thousand taels!" Mr. Mu exclaimed, surprisingly not making a fuss.

Although it was not sold for five thousand taels, three thousand taels was still much more than before. Looking back at the house that was about to collapse, I accepted this price.
