Chapter 75
Li Qingyou prefers the second option, after all, the first option is to give money to others for free.
As for sixty taels of silver a year, when the land was sold last autumn, the six acres of land left by the old couple were all high-quality land. One acre of land was worth fifty taels of silver, which was thirty taels.
In autumn, the two pigs in the pigsty are about to grow up. One pig can be conservatively sold for ten taels of silver, and two pigs are worth twenty taels.
The remaining ten taels of silver are much easier to handle. Saving one tael a month is enough for a year.
But Qian Fugui didn't know this. He was an honest man. Sixty taels of silver was not a small amount for their family, let alone Li Qingyou, an orphan?
If you collect her house deed, where will the girl go?
"Let's rent it. This way, it doesn't cost one tael of silver. You can pay us 700 cash a month." Qian Fugui gave a very kind price.
He is not at home every day. He usually goes out with the motorcade. He just came back yesterday. Before he left, he specifically asked the groom at home who specializes in feeding livestock to receive Li Qingyou every day and provide some convenience when she comes.
But last night, his mother suddenly mentioned this matter, and expressed her displeasure with Li Qingyou in her words. Everything else is easy to say, mainly because of her "good reputation".
It's okay that the time is short now, but if the time goes on for a long time, I'm afraid his mother will say something to Li Qingyou. Besides, as she said, their family is not short of such an animal.
Li Qingyou was overjoyed and immediately counted out 700 cash and handed it over, and also proposed to write a lease document.
"This is a guarantee for both of us. Otherwise, if I don't pay the rent in the next month, you will be too embarrassed to come to collect the debt, which is not good for anyone." Li Qingyou said with a smile. In fact, she was more afraid that the other party would suddenly stop renting.
Qian Fugui scratched his head and said that it was not necessary. He had the donkey's livestock deed in his hand and he was not afraid of Li Qingyou defaulting on the debt. Besides, they were renting money, so they gave money before renting, just in case she really defaulted on the debt.
He could take the donkey back at any time.
But when he looked at the little girl's shining eyes, Qian Fugui smiled. He had been running a team with his father for several years, so he had seen some things in the world. When he saw the little girl, he was afraid that he would regret it.
"Sure, let's go to Sibaozhai on the other side of the street. Just ask the knowledgeable shopkeeper there to vouch for it." Qian Fugui only went to private school for two years. He can recognize a few simple big characters, but he can't write documents.
, he said and went to fetch the donkey, and left Qian's house with Li Qingyou.
Sibaozhai is a calligraphy and painting shop. The shopkeeper knows that he has written the lease document, and both parties have signed the deposit, and the contract has come into effect.
Writing documents can't be in vain. He knows the shopkeeper but is embarrassed to collect cash. After thinking about it, Li Qingyou spent dozens of pennies to buy a set of the cheapest Four Treasures of the Study. The two of them came out of the Four Treasures Room.
All the things that needed to be done were done, and Li Qingyou was about to leave, when he looked up and saw Zhang Tieniu staring at Qian Fugui with red eyes.
"Is it because of him that you don't want to be with me?" Zhang Tieniu, who was overwhelmed by jealousy, came to him with a few strides and punched Qian Fugui without any hesitation.
Zhang Tieniu could barely be considered a soldier, and in his rage, Qian Fugui was unprepared and was beaten to the ground.
"Brother Qian." Li Qingyou screamed and hurriedly ran over to protect Qian Fugui. At the same time, he stopped Zhang Tieniu's fist from hitting him again and glared at him, "Zhang Tieniu, why are you beating people indiscriminately? Are you crazy?"
He is indeed crazy.
He has been crazy since he met Li Qingyou.
Especially when he recognized this man as the third son of the Qian family, and he was the one who told her that the Qian family had a female donkey that had just given birth to a calf, Zhang Tieniu felt indescribably depressed.
The other party was promoted to Third Brother Qian, and he was demoted from Brother Tieniu to Zhang Tieniu. Was it because the Qian family was well off that she looked down on him?
Zhang Tieniu was so sad and angry that he said, "Sure enough, the most poisonous thing is a woman's heart." He left bitterly.
Li Qingyou looked at Qian Fugui, half of his face was swollen, feeling ashamed and ashamed, and hurriedly helped him up, "Are you okay?"
Qian Fugui shook his head. It was just a fist. He was not so weak, but...
He looked at the direction Zhang Tieniu left, but he didn't have the nerve to ask.
Li Qingyou couldn't explain it, so he went to the medical clinic to have a look, but Qian Fugui refused. There were some things he needed to go home and think about, and make further inquiries.
Li Qingyou watched Qian Fugui leave and took the donkey home. She was originally in a good mood and felt a little depressed because of what Zhang Tieniu had done. But when she got home, she heard an explosive news.
Zhang Tieniu and Qin Xiu are engaged.
To say that this book is nothing, the marriage between a man and a woman is ethical, not to mention that Tie Niu Niu Niang and Qin Xiu are very fond of each other.
The key is that the marriage was decided after Widow Qin made a fuss.
The cause of the matter was that Zhang Tieniu knew that Shen Si was attracted to Qin Xiu, so he asked Qin Xiu out in his own name. However, it was Shen Si who went to meet him. Qin Xiu was so embarrassed that he even scratched Shen Si's face.
.
Logically speaking, outsiders didn't know about this, but by chance, someone saw it, and Widow Qin came to Zhang's house to cause trouble, and she let it slip in her words, so everyone knew about it.
"Is this Widow Qin stupid? Will she ruin her daughter's reputation by making such a fuss?"
"Isn't she stupid? She didn't see that Qin Xiu has been rushing to Zhang's house these days, but the marriage has not been settled for a long time. I heard that this iron cowgirl has fallen in love with the daughter of wealthy man Zhang's family in the west of the city...
"
"That's true. Although Widow Qin gave her a large dowry, the widow's widow is still living with her, so she won't be implicated in the future. Besides, there is no rich man..."
The two aunties who came to buy tofu chatted about their daily life in the yard of Li's house.
Li Qingyou listened silently, so there is another possibility?
While the two aunts were talking, they suddenly saw Li Qingyou. They seemed to have remembered something and smiled awkwardly.
Li Qingyou didn't think much about it, she smiled back, collected the money, packed the tofu and handed it over, not forgetting to say hello, "Come tomorrow."
Adi didn't run back until it was almost dark. He was surprised when he saw the extra donkey in the donkey shed. He chatted with sister Qingyou and asked where the donkey came from, while coveting her expression.
Even though he was hanging out with a bunch of kids all day long, he was well-informed. Naturally, he also heard about Zhang Tieniu's engagement. At this moment, he was a little afraid that Sister Qingyou would be sad.
But seeing that she didn't seem to be doing well, I felt relieved, and then I remembered something, "The eldest son of the Wei family has returned from suppressing bandits. Although he has won a great victory, it can be said to have suffered heavy losses. I can see the look on his face."
It’s not good, there are a lot of wounded soldiers behind us.”
Although Wei Siqi was his younger brother, he was not familiar with Wei Sizhong, so he only called him the eldest son of the Wei family.
