The exquisite space of the ruffian concubine

Chapter 22 The Land Deed and Mrs. Wang
After eating, Meng Wenqing went back to Lezhi Inn to rest, while Meng Xiaosuo and Li Goudan came to Niu Village to inquire about the land deed.

After inquiring, I really learned some useful information--Uncle Zhao has an elderly mother who lives in a dilapidated house at the east end of the village. Aunt Zhao, the prodigal daughter-in-law, exchanged that piece of land for cash and spent it.

The two hurried to the east of the village. The houses here are all neat and bright, brightly lit, and there is only one dilapidated house.Looking at the half-broken mud wall, Meng Xiaosu really didn't believe that such a place could live.

"You old woman who can't get in, where is the land deed, hand it over to me!" Aunt Zhao's angry voice came from inside the room.

Sure enough, I found the right place.Meng Xiaoshu made a booing gesture to Li Goudan, signaling him not to speak.

"Hmph, want a title deed? Unless I die!" The old lady's tone was very arrogant.

"Damn old woman, do you think I'm willing to beg you? Now someone is going to build a house on my land!" Aunt Zhao was in a hurry.

"Your piece of land? Hmph, when did that piece of land become yours?" The old lady was extremely dissatisfied.

The two quarreled for a long time, and found out all the old sesame seeds and rotten millet. In the end, Aunt Zhao, who asked for nothing, slammed the door angrily.The moonlight was extremely pale, and the surroundings were very dark. She was angry, but she didn't see Meng Xiaoshu and Li Goudan standing beside the house.

"Ouch, my door was broken in half by that damn bitch!" The old lady groaned in distress. At some point, two figures appeared at her feet. When she looked up, there was a man and a woman at the door. The two strangers couldn't help asking vigilantly, "Who are you? What are you here for?"

"Are you Uncle Zhao's mother?" Meng Xiaosuo asked.

The old lady pursed her mouth, and said angrily: "If you have anything to say, just tell me, did my unworthy son ask you to come here? I knew that that bastard who married a wife and forgot his mother must also want to take it away." The title deed is taken from me!"

"That's not true. I want to build a house on that piece of land. I can't do it without a title deed. Can you sell it to me?" Meng Xiaosu said straight to the point.

The old lady's tone changed: "Sell it to you, how much money are you going to pay?"

Hearing what she said, Li Goudan suddenly felt that there was something interesting, but Meng Xiaosuo still frowned slightly: "You can make a price."

"Girl, you are so arrogant!" The old lady snorted coldly, "You think I am a fool? I am an old lady who is half buried in the ground. I sold the land. What can I do with the money? Exchange the land for silver , It’s not difficult, but it’s difficult if money is turned into land. You don’t understand this truth, do you?”

"You can't say that! Why can't money be turned into land? If you have money, you can't buy land?" Li Goudan retorted.

"Don't you have money? If you want to buy my land, you can't buy it?" The old lady sneered, showing the only three big yellow teeth left in her mouth.

Li Goudan was furious: "Don't be shameless! My master thinks highly of you, that's why..."

"Shut up!" Meng Xiaoshu interrupted him, and turned to the old lady, "I know, what you mean is that you are in your seventies and eighties, and you don't need the money anyway, and sooner or later, Aunt Zhao and the others will snatch it from you." go, right?"

The old lady nodded: "You little girl is a smart person."

Li Goudan on the side listened to this and thought for a long time before he understood—this old bastard is beating around the bush and calling me a fool?
But Meng Xiaoshu didn't give him another chance to interrupt: "Li Goudan, you go out first, I want to chat with this aunt."

Li Goudan turned his head unwillingly, and when he passed the broken door in two, he kicked him hard as if to vent his anger.

"Tell me quickly, I'm too lazy to pour tea for you." The old lady sat down at the table and turned the wick of the oil lamp.

With the help of the dim light, Meng Xiaosuo looked around.At first glance, she only felt that the place was dilapidated, but upon closer inspection, the tables, chairs, benches and benches were neatly arranged, the bedding on the bed was clean, and even the oil lamp had been polished extremely brightly. This old lady was clearly a caring and capable person.

"Ma'am, I want to open a restaurant. Look, would you like to help me?" she asked.

"How did you know I can make wine?" The old lady's eyes changed.

Originally, Meng Xiaosuo only thought that if there was only Sister Zhang in the restaurant, she would definitely not be able to keep busy.Seeing that the old man's back is still straight, his hands don't shake, and his movements are very convenient, it's very pitiful to live here alone, so she asked this question casually, but she didn't expect that she could also be a wine maker.

In this cow village, almost everyone can make wine, but few dare to say that they "know" how to make wine.In the eyes of everyone, there is a huge difference between "neng" and "hui". "Neng" means able and knowing, while "hui" means proficient and proficient.

And this old man used the word "hui", so it stands to reason that he should be an expert in wine making.

"It seems that I asked the right person." Meng Xiaosuo smiled slightly, "May I ask what your name is?"

The old lady also smiled, and her tone was no longer as cold as before: "Miangui's surname is Wang. At first I thought you were a helper called by Zhao Chunfang."

Zhao Chunfang is Aunt Zhao's nickname.

"Why do you think it's not the case now?" Meng Xiaocom asked curiously.

"She won't recognize a smart person like you. I'm not complimenting you, but telling the truth." Mrs. Wang stood up and poured her a bowl of hot tea.

"Excuse me." Meng Xiaocom took it with both hands, and took a sip.This tea is not expensive, but the taste is very mellow.

"But your little follower looks useless." Mrs. Wang said.

Knowing that she was referring to Li Goudan, Meng Xiaosu shook her head and said, "He is my apprentice, not a follower."

"You have to beware of this person." Mrs. Wang reminded seriously.

Meng Xiaocom nodded. Although she didn't quite agree with it, it's better to listen to the old man's words.

"Tell me, why did you build the house opposite Zhao's house?" Mrs. Wang asked with great interest.

Meng Xiaosuo suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She chose the land at the beginning with the intention of going against Aunt Zhao and wanting her to know how good she is. Now it seems that this idea is too naive.

"In your opinion, what is the location of my house?" Mrs. Wang asked calmly.

Meng Xiaocom looked around, thought for a while, and said, "Very good."

She is not trying to flatter, but the feng shui here is really good. It faces south, with Mengshan at its back, a river in front, and lush trees all around. Compared with the land opposite Aunt Zhao's house, I don't know how many times better .

Mrs. Wang said sternly: "I also own the title deed of this house. If you buy it for ten taels of silver, I will go to the wine shop with you to help. From now on, you will be responsible for all your basic necessities, food, housing and transportation, and you will be charged every month." Give me money."

"Okay." Meng Xiaosuo raised her brows, thinking that this old man is a straightforward person, not only straightforward, but also very shrewd, planning his future life in just a few words.Thinking back to Sister Zhang, she was honest and honest, and she lacked more than a little bit of insight. I was really worried about letting her manage the restaurant. Now that I have Mrs. Wang, this matter is considered appropriate.

"There's no evidence for what you say, you have to make evidence. It's getting late, you go back first, and I'll find a few trustworthy squires tomorrow, and you can come back at dawn." Mrs. Wang said.Anyway, there is no rush for this matter, she must first find out the identity of the girl in front of her, so that she can feel at ease.

Looking at the walls with air leaks everywhere, Meng Xiaosuo couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic to her: "This place is not easy to live in, why don't you go to the inn with me?"

Mrs. Wang obviously hasn't let her guard down yet, she shook her head and said: "If you are a bad person, you trick me, an old bone, into the inn and kill me quietly, and take away my land deed, then I will lose a lot of money?"

Seeing her serious look, Meng Xiaosuo couldn't help but chuckle, said goodbye and walked out the door.

"How?" Li Goudan, who was waiting outside, immediately came up to him and asked.

"It's done." Meng Xiaocom nodded.

Li Goudan chuckled: "Master is indeed much better than me. I was so angry with that old woman, but you can still convince her."

"Don't call me old lady anymore, but old lady Wang," Meng Xiaosuo said, suddenly remembered something, "By the way, what I asked you to do today, have you really done it?"

"It's really done!" Li Goudan patted his chest, although his chest was not thick, "I really can't figure it out, why do you want to spread that kind of news, in case Yun Feitian finds out..."

"Hush." ​​Meng Xiaocom put a finger on her lips with a very serious expression, "Don't mention this name casually in the future."

"Oh, good..." Li Goudan scratched the back of his head inexplicably.
