The evil sister is in charge, and the mother is getting married

Chapter 111: I will take you out to play when we have the chance next time.

"Grandma, I'm going there to study, not to fight, so you can rest assured!" Sheng Wanqiu hugged Grandma Sheng and kissed her on the face.

It feels so good that someone cares!
"How corny! Hurry out and wash your hands and eat. Hui Niang probably has the food ready!"

Mrs. Sheng pretended to be disgusted and slapped Sheng Wanqiu in the face, with a smile on her lips involuntarily. The force of the slap was just like a tickle to Sheng Wanqiu.

For lunch, Hui Niang made a dish of spicy stir-fried river clams and bacon, mixed wild vegetables, cooked multi-grain rice, and a bowl of steamed egg custard.

When Da Du knew that Sheng Wanqiu was going to take her to Yaocheng, her eyes became slits with laughter. She had never been to such a far place before, and her little face turned red with excitement.

"Next time we have a chance, I'll take you out to play. Everyone might be very busy in the next few days."

"I'll bring gifts for everyone when I come back. Please take good care of my grandma and my brothers while I'm away. If there's anything you can't solve, Xiao Du, go to the Songhe Restaurant in town and find Manager Jiang. He'll help."

"Miss, don't worry, I will take good care of the old lady and the young masters!" Hui Niang and Xiao Du said in unison.

After lunch, the village headman came with two elders of the Sheng family. The Sheng family is a big family in Qingshan Village, and all decisions are made by the elders of the Sheng family.

Hui Niang was very discerning. She boiled water, made tea, and placed it in front of the three people before quietly retreating.

"Sister-in-law! Your life is getting better and better! You have servants at home to serve you, you are really enjoying yourself! It's a pity that my elder brother passed away early, otherwise you could have enjoyed yourself too!"

Mrs. Sheng curled her lips. How come this old man is still alive? Every time he opened his mouth, a sour smell came out!
The person who was speaking was the cousin of Mrs. Sheng's husband. He seemed to be more than ten years older than Mrs. Sheng. Judging from his clothes, he had not lived well. There were patches on his clothes!
"Haha! Yes! My old man doesn't have this blessing. Cousin, you are so old, you must be enjoying a lot!"

Mrs. Sheng is not a good person. When this cousin was young, he liked to take advantage of her old man. Now he still speaks in such a harsh tone. She doesn't have the patience to be polite to such a person!

When she said this, Mrs. Sheng deliberately stretched out her hand and showed off her gold bracelet.

Obviously, I'm telling him that I'm just enjoying myself, so what!
"What are you doing? The child is still here! Stop talking nonsense! Get to the point!" another old man in his seventies interrupted.

This old man looked very serious, and he was dressed better than the sour old man.

"Wanqiu girl, how much silver are you going to give for that pond?"

"You are a junior in the family. According to seniority, you should call me Grandpa! Haha!" The old man with a serious face spoke to Sheng Wanqiu very kindly.

Sheng Wanqiu: "Lobby Grandpa? I'm the lobby manager! What a weird name!"
"Grandpa, I'm sure the village head has also told you what I want to do with this pond. I'll decide the price. Fifty taels of silver!"

"I mentioned before that I would give money to the village to build two more wells. I am willing to do that. Do you think this is okay?"

Sheng Wanqiu calculated that there were only about fifty households in the village. Giving one or two taels of silver to each household was enough to shut these people up. The price was reasonable!
"No, this amount of silver is too little. This pond is used by the village to store water to prevent drought. It must cost at least one hundred taels!" The sour old man jumped out immediately.

"One hundred taels? Then you might as well just rob him!" Mrs. Sheng got angry when she heard this and immediately stopped. If there weren't so many people around, she would have wanted to pull out the few hairs on the stinky old man's head.

"Grandpa, how much do you think is appropriate? I'll listen to you!"

"It doesn't matter if the price is not right. I can go to my aunt's village next door to raise pearls and do the same. There is no need to argue and lose face, don't you think?" Sheng Wanqiu threw the decision-making power to the serious old man. Seeing that the head of the village did not dare to speak, she knew that the sour old man was not the one who could make the decision. This serious old man was the one who could make the decision.

One plays the good guy and the other plays the bad guy, what a little trick!
The three of them looked at each other, and the serious old man spoke first: "There are a total of fifty-eight households in the village, and this does not include your family, so I won't ask for more, sixty-eight taels of silver."

"Fifty-eight taels, one tael per household. The remaining ten taels will be used to repair the Sheng family ancestral hall. Of course, the money you promised to pay for repairing the two wells should also be included. This way, the villagers will definitely have no objections!"

"make a deal!"

"But you have to agree to what I said to the village head before. From now on, the pond is my private property. I have the final say!"

"Grandpa, have some tea and wait a moment. I'll go get the silver!"

Sheng Wanqiu readily agreed, then turned and went into her room, took out silver ingots from the space, each worth ten taels of silver, and placed three on the table at once.

"Here is thirty taels. Once all the formalities are completed, the other thirty-eight taels will be given immediately!"

It is said that things can be done quickly if you have money. Before dinner time, the head of the village had brought the deed to the pond. This was the deed he had obtained with the seal from the government in the town in the afternoon.

"Uncle Lizheng, please keep this money. As for the well, you can find someone to start the construction. Just tell my grandma when you settle the bill."

"I will leave for Yaocheng the day after tomorrow morning and will be back in about five days."

"Then I will find someone to clean the pond myself, and we can deal with other things when I come back!" Sheng Wanqiu gave Dadu a look after she finished speaking.

Da Du immediately trotted into the kitchen, took out a wrapped roast chicken and handed it to the head of the village.

"Uncle headman, this is the roast chicken from Songhe Restaurant. It's an extra meal!" Sheng Wanqiu smiled and stuffed the oil-paper bag into the headman's hand.

"Thank you then. I'm leaving now!"

The village head originally wanted to ask about his eldest son and his wife, but when he saw that Sheng Wanqiu didn't seem to want to speak, he didn't dare to ask. It was true that the price of the pond was high, but he couldn't make the decision!
Alas! It is so difficult to be righteous here!
Summer nights come relatively late. When it was completely dark, Sheng Wanqiu rushed up the Daqing Mountain carrying five roasted chickens.

I promised to bring delicious food to the tigers, and I must keep my promise.

A basin was filled with spiritual spring water, and five roast chickens were neatly placed beside it after being wrapped in oil paper. Sheng Wanqiu whistled.

Ouch!

Ouch!

Dahua appeared with her butt twisted, followed by her soft breasts.

"Come here, little darling, look at what delicious food I brought you. This is roast chicken from the most famous restaurant in town. Come and try it!"
