Chapter 20: After spending the money, the village house is mine
When Shen Ningning returned to the restaurant, she found that Jiang Zhi had left.
Nearly all the food on the table has been eaten.
The waiter came up and said, "Miss, your friend just left a note."
Shen Ningning took it and took a look.
Thank you two words, written very clearly.
After paying the bill, Shen Ningning left the restaurant and went straight to the jade shop.
As soon as you entered, you were dazzled by the dazzling array of pearls and jade.
The price ranges from low to high, and there are a wide variety of jade stones.
Shen Ningning looked around.
The cheapest one costs three hundred taels, which is only a small piece.
Moreover, just looking at it doesn’t look good.
Shen Ningning saw a palm-sized statue of the God of Fortune placed at the top of the shelf.
The material used is yellow and white jade.
It looks very similar to my brother’s jade!
The little guy quickly pointed at the jade and asked the shopkeeper: "What kind of jade is that? How much silver does it cost?"
Several waiters were busy greeting distinguished customers.
Only the shopkeeper who settled the accounts glanced at Shen Ningning, walked up and said patiently: "This is called Hetian jade, three hundred taels per inch."
The little guy’s big round eyes blinked.
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper quickly added: "Gold. One inch, three hundred taels of gold."
Shen Ningning suddenly opened her mouth: "So expensive?"
How many medicinal materials does she have to sell to buy the same jade and compensate her brother?
The shopkeeper smiled cooperatively: "Little girl, if you want to buy jade, you'd better ask your family to bring it."
Shen Ningning shook her head silently, turned and left the shop.
She can’t afford it yet.
The little man puffed out his pink cheeks and muttered in a low voice: "Wonderland, Wonderland, how can you be so powerful, and you can eat such expensive jade!"
Looks like she needs to save some money!
It was getting late, and Shen Ningning decided to go home.
Before leaving, she went to the cloth shop and bought several clothes.
He went to the stable to rent a coachman and headed back home.
This trip, I spent a total of one hundred and fifty taels on meals, clothes and sundries.
Pack the two hundred taels that Granny Chen needs in separate packages.
Finally, Shen Ningning stored the remaining 550 taels in a small box in the fairyland.
The carriage stopped outside Xiangyun Village.
Shen Ningning carried the silver bag and walked towards Granny Chen's house.
On the road, I met the grandson of the village chief, who was playing with a group of seven or eight-year-old children in the dry fields.
As soon as they saw Shen Ningning, they ran after her, not far behind her.
“Little Wolf Girl? Little Wolf Girl?” the village chief’s grandson took the lead in calling.
Shen Ningning turned around, looking at them with fierce eyes.
Sudden!
From the Wolf Mountain behind Xiangyun Village, a wolf howl could be heard.
The Black Wolf King knew that Shen Ningning was back, so he watched from the forest not far away.
This group of children immediately stood still and kept silent, daring not to shout any more.
The grandson of the village chief stuttered: "I'm sorry, Little Wolf...Sister Wolf, we are just curious and don't mean any harm."
Shen Ningning didn't want to be acquainted with them, so she turned around and left.
The wolf howling in the forest stopped.
The little guy went to Granny Chen’s house, closed the door, and unpacked the package.
The white money made Granny Chen's eyes red.
"Ning Ning, so much money..." she choked, "We will definitely pay it back in the future." "Grandma Chen, don't cry, please send the money quickly. It's important to save your family. If you still can't pay it back later!" Shen Ningning He waved his little hands, very generously.
Grandma Chen nodded repeatedly, but there was no decent tea to entertain Shen Ningning.
Fortunately, the little guy didn't care, so Granny Chen hurried to the city to send money.
Just when Shen Ningning was about to leave Xiangyun Village and go home, she was blocked by the village chief.
Village chief Deng Changshou is sixty-five years old and has gray hair. He is quite prestigious in the village.
Earlier, when Aunt Qin bullied Shen Ningning, he couldn't stand it and said a few words.
It’s just that Aunt Qin doesn’t take the village chief seriously at all.
Therefore, Village Chief Deng no longer takes care of it.
Seeing him now, Shen Ningning was curious: "Grandpa, village chief, what's the matter?"
The village chief asked with concern: "Ning Ning, how are you and your grandma living in the mountains now?"
"It's good. There are no uncles and aunts. Grandma almost doesn't cry anymore." The little guy answered truthfully.
The village chief nodded and sighed: "Your uncle Qin Sheng borrowed fifteen taels of silver from my family to buy rice. Your grandma knows this."
"Now it's time to pay back the money. It turns out that your uncle and aunt have been imprisoned. I don't know when they will come back. I don't want to intercede for them. I'm just worried that the money won't be paid."
"My grandson is going to study soon, and the family of seven also needs to eat. These fifteen taels are not too much, not too much."
"See if you can..." The village chief stopped mid-sentence.
He probably also knew that it was unethical to ask a four-year-old child to help Uncle Qin pay back the money.
But people think about themselves first.
Not to mention that his family is not well-off and they are all waiting for money.
Shen Ningning looked at him silently.
“Grandpa, village chief, uncle, they are not good to me.” The little guy said Nuonuo.
The truth is clearly laid out before our eyes.
They treated her badly, why should she pay them back?
The village chief was startled and took out a signed red deed from his sleeve.
"Ning Ning, I'm not forcing you. Look, it's written in black and white, with handprints on it. Your uncle mortgaged the house to me and said that if the money is not paid, the village house will be mine."
"It's okay if you don't pay back the money. Then tell your grandma for me that this house belongs to me first. If your uncle still wants it later, he can use the money to redeem it."
“We are all fellow villagers and neighbors, and I will not take advantage of you.”
After saying that, the village chief turned and left.
Shen Ningning's dark and moist eyes were filled with luster for a moment.
“Wait!” she called to the other party.
The village chief turned around: "What's wrong, Ning Ning?"
The little guy stepped forward and said, "Uncle still hasn't paid the money, so this house belongs to the village chief."
“Then if I buy this village house from the village chief, how much will it cost?”
The village chief was stunned for a moment and then came to his senses: "You want to buy it?"
Shen Ningning nodded decisively, with a pink face and a determined expression.
"I can contribute money, but I will only buy my own village house. The money your uncle owes you is his own debt, and I will not help him pay it back."
However, village houses can still be bought.
The village chief thought about it and thought it was a solution.
“Your yard is not big, and the location in our village is a little bit remote. I don’t want more. I will sell this house to you for twenty taels, okay?”
Shen Ningning responded: "Okay."
The village chief didn't expect the little guy to be so cheerful.
Shen Ningning also considered that her grandmother had lived in a village house all her life.
You must have feelings for your house.
Grandma would also be sad if it just disappeared.
“I still need the village chief to testify for me. Let’s sign a contract and the house is given to me. It belongs to me. If other people want to live in the house, the village chief should unite with the villagers to drive them out.”
These other people, of course, refer to Aunt Qin’s family!
