"Brother Zichuan, my brother-in-law, my brother, and cousin Dajie, who among them was not born and raised in the village?"

"The brothers who are studying all studied in primary schools in the village. After passing the Tongsheng Examination, they went to the academies in the town to study. They worked their way out step by step."

"As for my brother-in-law, let alone him. He threw away his hunting bow and arrows and joined the army. He fought with his life on the battlefield to achieve the glory he has today."

"Our roots are in the village. The village is no worse than the town. In the school behind the village, my cousin and another gentleman are also excellent for educating the children,"

"Fourth uncle, when you go to town, what do you think of the so-called high starting point?"

"The academy in town?"

"Other than that, what place in the town is better than the village? There are no fields or vegetable gardens. You have to buy all three meals a day, and the expenses are much higher than in the village!" Xiao An said.

Yang Huaming was a little surprised by Xiao An's reaction, "Nephew, don't be so excited. Fourth uncle didn't say anything bad about the village. Isn't fourth uncle himself a native of the village?"

"No, your Aunt Xiaojuan said that it would be more convenient to go shopping in town,"

"If Goudan gets sick or something, it's quick and easy to go to a big medical clinic nearby. It's not like in this village, where you just rely on a barefooted doctor, Uncle Fu. Uncle Fu is getting older now. He calls him here many times, and his legs and feet are not what they used to be.

So neat..."

Xiao An said: "Fourth uncle, please forgive me for being a junior and speaking a little harshly. In fact, the reasons you mentioned are not enough reasons to buy a house in the town, especially when Aunt Xiaojuan said it is convenient to buy things, I don't agree even more."

"Is it possible that you borrowed money everywhere and borrowed so much to buy a house in the town just for the convenience of buying things?"

Yang Huaming was speechless after being refuted by Xiao An. He blushed and sat there without saying a word, his face gradually turning ugly.

Seeing this, Yang Huazhong softly scolded Xiao An, who still wanted to speak: "Okay, that's it, don't say anything."

Xiao An shut up.

Yang Huazhong said: "You have almost eaten. If you have nothing to do, go home and go to bed!"

Xiao An nodded, turned and left.

Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing's eyes met for a moment, and then Luo Fengtang also said to Yang Huazhong and Yang Huaming: "Father-in-law, fourth uncle, you guys chat first, it's time for me to take the two children home to take a bath and do their homework."

Yang Huazhong said: "Okay, okay, it's windy outside, let them put their hats on."

Yang Huaming cast his nervous eyes on Yang Ruoqing, fearing that Yang Ruoqing would also leave. When he saw Yang Ruoqing sitting there leisurely drinking tea with no intention of leaving, Yang Huaming's heart dropped.

After Luo Fengtang and the children had left, only Yang Huazhong, Yang Huaming and Yang Ruoqing were left in the hall.

At this time, Yang Huazhong spoke.

"Fourth brother, Xiao An is a young boy, and his words are a bit irritable, so don't take it to heart," he said.

Yang Huaming smiled nonchalantly, "Third brother, don't worry. I've watched that kid grow up. He's not evil. I understand."

"As long as you understand." Yang Huazhong said.

Then he asked Yang Huaming: "Where is the house you fancy in the town? How much did you say it cost before?"

When Yang Huaming heard this, he thought there was something interesting, and hurriedly said: "It's a little further north in the town. The two-door house is about the same size as your third brother's house. There is a small garden in the back, and it costs about a hundred taels."

"One hundred taels of silver is so expensive. My house only costs thirty taels." Yang Huazhong clicked his tongue.

Yang Huaming said: "Third brother, your house was built ten years ago, and now everything has increased in price!"

"Fourth uncle, you can't buy your house for a hundred or so, can you?" Yang Ruoqing, who had never spoken to him, suddenly spoke up.

"As far as I know, there are a large number of houses for sale to the north of the town, but they are all in wealthy areas,"

"The people who live there are all local squires, members of the government, small landowners, or some people who have retired and returned to their hometowns."

"The house there, even if it's 70% to 80% new secondhand, it still costs 200 taels." Yang Ruoqing said.

No matter what the world is like, the gap between rich and poor will always be so wide.

Poor people, if they save a few taels of silver, they can feed a family of five for a year.

And the rich people can buy a big house casually, which costs hundreds of taels of silver.

Just ordering a table of food and wine will cost you dozens of taels of silver.

Especially after experiencing the last wine auction in the bar, Yang Ruoqing felt that money was really flowing like water in the hands of those rich people, and the silver notes were thrown out in thick bundles without blinking an eye.

Therefore, there is nothing unusual about a big house costing 200 taels each in the wealthy area of ​​the town, and naturally some people can afford it.

only……

"Fourth uncle, I actually have no objection to you going to live in the town. This is your consideration and plan. Everyone wants to go to a more open place."

"But I can't understand why you want to play rich like this."

"Just like the big yard that Tang Yazi and I have, from buying the land to building the furniture, it only costs two hundred taels to complete."

"You guys... do you want to consider changing your house? Because even if I borrow you sixty taels of silver, you are still short of one hundred and forty taels! What a big hole!" Yang Ruoqing said.

He lied and was exposed by Yang Ruoqing in person. Yang Huaming's face turned red.

He rubbed his hands and defended with a smile: "Xiaojuan and I have also saved a little money. When the time comes, we will borrow it from outside. We will discuss with the original owner of the house and give him a two- or three-year reprieve.

I can still handle it."

Yang Ruoqing got up and went over there to get an abacus.

"Fourth uncle, how do you want to fill this hole? Let me help you figure it out."

Yang Ruoqing said, pressing her long and slender fingers on the abacus:

"Fourth Uncle, you work as a steward in a restaurant. The monthly payment I give you is twenty-four taels of silver a month, which is twenty-four taels of silver a year."

"I will give you red envelopes during the holidays. We have nearly five or six taels of silver together, so in a year we will have thirty taels of silver."

"As for Fourth Uncle, you have the purchasing power of the restaurant in your hands, and the money you get from it, as well as the things that the vegetable vendors pay you, I don't care about it,"

"If the water is clear, there will be no fish. As long as it doesn't go too far and doesn't hinder the normal operation of the restaurant, I generally don't care."

Yang Huaming's face turned even redder, and he sat there grinning, with no other expression except an apologetic smile.

Yang Huazhong lowered his head to light a cigarette and pretended not to hear.

Here, Yang Ruoqing was talking, tapping the abacus with her fingers.

"After all, Fourth Uncle, you can earn thirty taels of silver a year. How many taels of silver do you have ready to buy a house?" She raised her head and asked.
