Liang Shi's face lit up, and she let out a long sigh of relief.
Shu Yu said to the old lady, "grandmother, buying a house is a major expense that requires us to use up our entire savings. Since Third Uncle isn't here, we can't afford to be careless. I'll accompany Third Aunt."
Coincidentally, it was almost noon, and there weren't many customers coming into the shop. It wouldn't be a problem for her to leave.
The old lady thought about the two hundred and eighty taels. For third family, it was practically using up all their savings. Sanzhu's wife was unreliable, and if she were deceived, what would they do?
Hence, she nodded and said, "Alright, you can go. I'll stay here and watch."
Lan Hua, who was nearby, asked nervously and excitedly, "Ah Yu, can I also go and have a look?"
"Sure, let's go."
Finally, not only Lan Hua but also Er Niu, who had just returned from outside to drink water, heard about Third family buying a house and followed them.
Shu Yu had a mule cart, and they quickly got on the cart and departed.
Just as they left, Lu Dasong and Li Shi finished their shopping and returned.
Seeing that the shop suddenly became much quieter, with even their own son and daughter missing, Li Shi took the water that Hua Xian handed to her and asked, "Mother, where are they? It's not good for you to be alone in the shop. It's so tiring. Really, Lan Hua is so thoughtless. She rarely comes, but she doesn't even offer to help."
Li Shi felt that all her children were stubborn mules. They were always busy and never thought about helping her.
Look at Third Brother and his wife, they directly moved from the village to the county.
As for Da Niu? After finally becoming a shopkeeper for eight or nine months, he was assigned to the countryside to farm.
Although Lu Dasong said that he could manage hundreds of mu of land, she hadn't seen the scene, so Li Shi felt that it was more disadvantageous compared to being a shopkeeper.
The same went for Lan Hua. She was very slow-witted.
Li Shi despised them, and the old lady despised Li Shi. The old lady curled her lips and said, "Lan Hua and the others went to Sanzhu's house."
"Why did they go to Third brother house?"
The old lady didn't want to say it. If she did, she would get greatly annoyed.
But if she didn't say it, someone else knew.
The owner of the neighboring shop happened to come over and heard Li Shi's words. She immediately smiled and said, "It seems like they went to buy a house and went to have a look."
When Shu Yu and the others left just now, there was a commotion. The owner of the neighboring shop was curious and asked.
Liang Shi was delighted and blurted it out.
The owner of the neighboring shop wanted to ask more details, but the mule cart had already left.
The old lady glared at the owner of the neighboring shop, and the owner realized that he had said too much. She laughed awkwardly and quickly turned around to return to her own shop.
Li Shi was dumbfounded.
She had only been away from the county for half a month, so how did so many things happen?
Not only did her son go from being a shopkeeper back to being a farmer, but now her third brother's family could even afford to buy a house in the county.
Li Shi felt a pain in her chest. Every day, there were just too many troubles.
Originally, Lu Sanzhu and his wife were the most unreliable, but now they not only had a legitimate business in the county, but their son was also attending a private school. In such a short period of time, they even bought a house.
Li Shi felt her vision darken, and she grabbed Lu Dasong's arm and gritted her teeth, saying, "I want to go and have a look!!"
Lu Dasong furrowed his brows. "We still need to go back..."
"Lan Hua and Er Niu went with them. Are we not going to wait for them?"
