Chapter 638: Property Purchase in County Town

Madam Guan said: "It means fortune, wealth, longevity, happiness, and prosperity. It means everything will go well. Just pick the word you like."

"Everything, everything, I want the word 'thing'!" Qin Liupo counted them quietly. The word 'thing' has the most strokes, so it must require the most gold, so this is the one that makes the most money.

Nanny Chen smiled, took out the small purse with the word "Shi" on it, and presented it to Aunt Qin Liu: "Yours."

"Oh, thank you, Ma." Qin Liupo took it, opened it, and saw the two-finger-wide word "事". She immediately became proud.

Look, she said she is the best at choosing!

Qin Mei looked at her and wanted to drag her mother away, but she was afraid that she would affect Shu's cousin's marriage. She bowed and said to Madam Guan, "Madam, please forgive me. My mother can't manage the money in the family, so she gets excited when she encounters money."

The point of this statement is that although Qin Liupo is domineering, she cannot manage the family's money. In other words, Qin Liupo cannot be the master of the family and cannot cause any major trouble, so the Guan family can rest assured.

Old Madam Guan was not worried that Qin Liupo would cause trouble. Instead, because of these words, she looked at Qin Mei with a new respect... This girl was a good one. Even if she didn't get married in this life, she could live a good life.

Then he said, "It's okay. Today is your family dinner. Family dinners should be lively and noisy."

"Look, the old lady from this wealthy family is really good at talking. The younger generation must visit your house more often and learn from you!" Qin Liupo took advantage of the situation and thought of visiting more often to make more money.

Unfortunately, she didn't have this opportunity. Qin Xiaomi would assign her more work to ensure that she had no extra free time except for eating, sleeping and going to the toilet.

"Madam Guan, please take your seat first." Grandpa Qin's voice came from behind the middle curtain.

The Qin family was very considerate of the Guan family. Thinking that they couldn't let the old lady accommodate their farming family's rules, they divided today's family dinner into two seats, one for men and one for women.

The front bunks of the three rooms were very large, so the men's and women's bunks were placed on the front bunks. However, a thick green cloth curtain was hung in the middle to serve as a screen to separate the men's and women's bunks.

Madam Guan was very touched by the Qin family's kindness and said, "Well, I'll be seated right away. Mr. Qin, please start your meal as well. This is your family dinner, so you should enjoy it and don't need to worry about the two of us coming here to eat for free."

This was very down-to-earth, and Grandpa Qin felt relieved. He smiled and said, "Okay, we'll listen to the old lady."

Then he said to the men and boys in several families, "Let's start the feast... Nong'er, you sit next to me."

The marriage was settled, and Grandpa Qin changed the way he addressed Guan Shuli.

When Guan Shuli heard this, a feeling of joy and closeness surged from the bottom of his heart. He no longer refused politely, but said "yeah", walked over obediently, helped Grandpa Qin sit down first, and then sat down himself.

Well, now even the most slow-witted Qin Eryong knew that Guan Shuli would become a member of their Qin family.

He was very happy, and used the serving chopsticks placed on the empty plate to frantically pick up food for Guan Shuli: "Brother Guan, eat, they are all good dishes... This fragrant fermented pork is a staple dish in our hometown, which we could only eat during the Chinese New Year. You should try it."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Eryong." Guan Shuli called out quite smoothly, picked up a piece of fragrant fermented pork, took a bite, and said in surprise: "It's fragrant, unique in flavor, very delicious, I like it."

Qin Eryong: "Hahaha, Brother Guan, as long as you can get used to it."

On the women's side, Qin Eryong's wife heard her husband's loud laughter and wanted to twist his ears... The Guan family is a family of scholars and rich, so they must have strict rules. They believe in not talking while eating. If you laugh so loudly, what if the clerk is afraid that your saliva will spray into the food and feel disgusted? !

But her worries were in vain.

During the meal, Old Madam Guan ate and chatted, laughing from time to time, even more exaggerated than Qin Eryong, and even Su was stunned.

Didn’t Cunquan say that the Guan family is extraordinary?

How come Old Madam Guan doesn’t look like an old lady from a wealthy family at all, but instead looks a bit like Qin Liupo?

Thinking of how the noble Madam Guan suddenly turned into Qin Liupo, Su couldn't help but shiver.

The family dinner lasted for a full hour. It was not until it was completely dark that the Guan family's grandparents and grandchildren said goodbye and left.

Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin went to see them off personally, holding lanterns. They only turned back when they were almost at the street corner.

Several families were already waiting for the old couple.

Qin Liupo was the first to ask, "Fifth Brother and Fifth Sister-in-law, you two swear to our late grandfather whether the Guan family has proposed marriage to Shu Jie'er?!"

The voice was as loud as an opera. Fortunately, there were several families living in this half of the street, otherwise if someone heard it, and with the gossipy nature of the villagers, there would be ten or eight versions of the rumor spread by tomorrow.

"Sixth Brother!" Grandpa Qin glared at Qin Old Sixth Brother.

Qin Laoliu came out in a hurry and scolded Qin Liupo: "You old woman, what are you yelling about? I am the younger brother, so how can I ask about my cousin's family affairs? Just wait for the letter!"

Jiang Xiaozhu was shocked, and she pulled Qin Xiaomi and whispered, "Sister Xiaomi, this is the most common thing I have heard Grandpa Qin Liu say since I was born."

Qin Xiaomi almost laughed out loud...it's true.

Grandpa Qin looked at everyone and said, "It's not confirmed yet, everyone wait a little longer."

After hearing this, the families were all very happy... Considering Grandpa Qin's cautiousness, he could say this, which meant that the two families had already reached an agreement and the marriage was a done deal!

"Good, good, good. Fifth uncle's family is kind and good things are bound to happen to them." Several families expressed their congratulations in a subtle way.

Grandpa Qin was also very happy, with a smile on his face... The marriage of his old daughter was settled, and the one he chose was a gentleman, so he and his wife would have one less worry.

Grandpa Qin then talked about Xu Erjun and Qin Jie going to the government office to do their work: "You should do your job with all your heart, but you should also take care of yourself when you encounter danger. Be cautious, think more, and don't be complacent. If you have any problems, go to see Master Han. He is the son-in-law of Village Chief Zhou, so he is half of ours...but you must be on guard against others."

Xu Erjun and Qin Jie stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, we know what's going on."

Grandpa Qin nodded with satisfaction, and said to Qin Jie: "You have also felt Master Han's attitude towards you. Both the Zhou and Han families are good, but the most important thing is that you are happy. You don't have to compromise to maintain the relationship. There is no need for that."

Village chief Zhou has always wanted to marry into the Qin family.

After Qin Jie went to work in the government office, Mr. Han took a liking to him and would probably choose a girl from the younger generation of the Han family who was closely related to him to marry Qin Jie.

Although Qin Jie doesn't talk much, he has always remembered the kindness of Grandpa Qin's family to his family since he was a child. At this moment, he said, "Don't worry, uncle Wu, nephew understands. If you really can't make up your mind, come back and discuss it with uncle Wu's family."

Qin Laoliu and his wife: "..."

Rebellious son, born in vain!

However, Master Han is a popular figure around the county magistrate, and his status is much higher than that of a small clerk, Guan Shuli. If Brother Jie can really marry the daughter of the Han family, wouldn't the couple be able to show off again?

Qin Liupo immediately said, "Brother Jie, don't be so dull. You have to know how to deal with things when it's time to deal with them. Do you hear me?"

Qin Jie: "Yeah."

Qin Liupo is about to explode. You have a lot of words to say to your fifth uncle, but you only say "hmm" to your own mother?!

Qin Xiaomi came back from the backyard with the banknotes and said, "Second Brother Xu, Uncle Jie, you should pay more attention to the houses, shops and lands in the county. Once the county government starts selling the seized houses, shops and lands, you should immediately decide on them. Don't worry about the 10% or 20% higher prices. In the future, Baofu County will be a gathering place for businessmen and nobles. If you don't buy houses, shops and lands as soon as possible, when people from the capital come, it will not be our turn."
