C72 The Joy of New House Migration

"Young lady, you have a good eye. This is the best mahogany in our shop. It was carved and refined by a first-rate carpenter. The price is twelve taels of silver."

The manager had a face full of smiles as he spoke politely. Even if the owner couldn't afford it, he still had an attitude that he should have.

"12 silver taels, this is too expensive." Xiao Yiming muttered to himself, this set of tables and chairs was simple, if there was wood, he could definitely make it.

The shopkeeper had heard too many similar words that were too expensive. Although he had a dissatisfied expression on his face, his mouth was still polite:

"Little brother, this is a hundred-year-old shop. The price is absolutely fair. Don't worry, the furniture is the best."

Luo Mannmann then asked about the price of the wooden wardrobe, the cabinets, the screens, and a few chairs.

"Shopkeeper, I've said it just now. How much do you want to calculate in total?"

"Alright." The storekeeper rattled the abacus and calculated, "Young lady, there's a total of 22 taels of silver."

"Alright, take off the bag." When Luo Mannmann saw the shopkeeper nod, she quickly took out the silver and paid the bill.

The shopkeeper laughed happily as he counted the tasteful silver taels, his face blooming like a flower. Fortunately, he didn't look down on them like a dog and greeted them in time, otherwise, he would have missed out on this big customer.

"Okay, girl, leave an address and the goods will be here in the afternoon." Seeing a piece of scrap paper on the table, Luo Mannmann casually wrote the words Nanshan Village.

When the shopkeeper saw that she was pretty, he raised his head and looked at her again. He saw that the spirit energy between her eyebrows was extraordinary and her actions were straightforward. He had a deeper impression of her.

"It's the ones I saw, don't take the wrong things!"

"Miss, I can do things without worry. I will definitely make you satisfied."

The two of them were quite satisfied with the furniture and service of this flat. Carrying the items in their hands, they returned to the place where Big Uncle Zhang had parked the ox-cart.

"Madam, may I ask if you are Luo Mannmann?"

"Who are you? What business do you have with my wife? " Xiao Yiming asked cautiously.

"My wife has something to talk to you about. It's in the private room of the teahouse." The shop assistant said as he prepared to lead the way.

Luo Mannmann thought for a moment, then went over and whispered to Xiao Yiming: "It's not like we know anyone else in the Stone Dragon Town, the only rich person we know is Qian Jingui, could it be?"

"Wifey, looks like Qian Jingui hasn't given up yet. Why don't we explain it all at once so that he won't miss you?" Xiao Yiming's expression turned dark as he clenched his fist.

The two of them followed the waiter up to the private room on the second floor of the teahouse. They lightly knocked on the wooden door and said, "Madam, that Miss Luo is here."

"Let her in."

Luo Mannmann pushed open the door and entered the room. She saw a well-maintained noble woman leisurely sipping tea on a mahogany carved chair. She appeared to be in her forties. When she saw the person who had arrived, her fierce almond-shaped eyes slightly perked up …

"You're Luo Mannmann?"

A middle-aged man in his forties, with a square face, thick black eyebrows, and bright eyes stood beside the matron. He swept a sharp glance at the two of them, looking shrewd and astute.

"Yes, I wonder what business does Lady Qian have with my wife?" She had someone's shadow on her, so this must be Qian Jingui's mother.

"Impudent, did my wife ask you a question?" The butler on the side scolded Xiao Yiming.

"So what if you are Lady Qian? We came here to give you face, not to suffer."

Luo Mannmann's face darkened. She pulled Xiao Yiming's arm and turned around to leave. She didn't even want to scold her man angrily. What right did she have to be scolded by others?

"Miss Luo, wait a moment. I apologize to you on behalf of the butler. I've invited you here today because I have something important to discuss with you."

Madam Qian smiled apologetically as she glanced at Xiao Yiming with her eyebrows raised. Xiao Yiming was just a man with no reputation.

"If you have anything to say, please say it."

"You look so different from a cuckoo. You're smart and observant. No wonder Jindan was in love with you." With a single sentence, Luo Mannmann was blamed for all of her crimes.

Lady Qian could not help but take a few more glances. Luo Mannmann was dressed in blue, with her hair combed into a bun and only decorated with a wooden hairpin.

With a face as white as jade, curved eyebrows, long and thick eyelashes, and a pair of clear eyes, it was as if one would drown in just a single glance.

She had a small nose and thin red lips. She looked very delicate and refined, to the point that she could be considered a beauty. More importantly, her head was filled with all sorts of brilliant ideas. No wonder her son was infatuated with her.

She had only been in the Xiao Family for half a year and she had already built a new house.

"Lady Qian, there's a difference in those words. This is their private matter and it has nothing to do with me." Luo Mannmann couldn't stand it when some people relied on their wealth to look haughty. She didn't owe him anything.

"What a sharp tongue. My son is a lovestruck man. What do you mean, apart from Luo Mannmann, he's no longer taking a wife. After returning from the Nanshan Village, he's been working in the shop day and night?" Are you a heartless person?

Lady Qian placed the teacup back on the table with a bang, as if venting her anger.

"What does Madam mean?" You want me to accept him? "

"How is this possible?" "It's just a village nun, where did you get the confidence to step into our Qian Family? Back then, if it wasn't for the Old Master agreeing, do you think a village nun could have entered?"

"I think Lady Qian has misunderstood. I believe that I am unlucky to have your Qian Family. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

Seeing that Luo Mannmann was about to turn around and leave, Lady Qian quickly walked up to her and took out two hundred taels of silver from her purse. "Here are two hundred taels of silver. It's enough for you to live the rest of your life.

"Two hundred taels and you want to send me away?" Luo Mannmann raised her eyebrows and taunted. This Lady Qian was really interesting.

Luo Mannmann's brows revealed a trace of mischievousness. She really wanted to tease him a bit. He actually used money to send her away from her son.

"You are really ambitious. Don't even think about it, Qian Family wouldn't let a woman like you in."

Lady Qian only had Qian Jingui as her only son. She initially wanted to convince her own heart to accept such a daughter-in-law into the family.

When he saw it today, the only thought in his heart was completely dispelled. In order not to be angered to death, it was better to avoid it.

"It seems like Lady Qian's sincerity isn't good enough. Then there's nothing much to say."

The corners of Luo Mannmann's mouth curled up in ridicule. She didn't have the interest to enter such a complicated family to play around? What's more, he was truly dismayed at the fact that someone was dragged in despite not catching a cold.

"You." Lady Qian then took out two pieces of banknotes from her pocket. "There's a total of four hundred taels of silver. Take them."

"Thank you Madam." Luo Mannmann carefully took the banknotes and counted them as if she had never seen the market before.

After Lady Qian's mocking voice faded, her jade-like hands flung the banknotes away. A few pieces of banknotes floated down from the sky and smacked down on Lady Qian's body.

"You …"

"Seems like Lady Qian still doesn't understand how to respect people. I was already too polite not to rip off your banknotes on the spot. Don't think that you're amazing just because you have a few stinky money."

Luo Mannmann felt good inside after she said that. She finally let out a sigh and pulled Xiao Yiming, who was beside her, and ran away.

"This is so infuriating. This village girl is truly too hateful. She actually slaps my face in front of everyone." Madame Qian threw the teacup on the table angrily.

The housekeeper quickly picked up the two silver notes and passed them to her, "Madam, this village girl doesn't know what's good for herself. Should we send someone over?"

"There's no need for you to do that …" "Hmph …" "She's just a small village nun, she won't be able to create any waves. But she offended me, so in the future, don't even think about staying in this town …"

Luo Mannmann and Xiao Yiming didn't know that their future career would be hindered. All they knew was that they were too full of steam today.

"Wife, you're really a special daughter-in-law. You're unmoved by money."

"She doesn't put us in her eyes, how can we not consider her to be a threat? She hates people who think so highly of themselves, but don't worry, in the future, I won't have any interactions with Qian Family anymore."

"Wife …" Xiao Yiming was moved. Luo Mannmann had rejected all temptations for his sake, and he vowed to treat his wife even better.

When the couple sat in the ox-cart and returned to Xiao Family to eat lunch, Liu Shan came over with the Xiao Family, saying that he had news of them buying land.

Yiming, sister-in-law, I've already thought much about the matter of you sending me to see the fields last time, but the quantity is a bit big, and there are some fields next to the village next door. But the land is not bad, so let's go together.

"Being next door to another village is nothing, then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Liu Shan." Xiao Yiming became especially excited when he heard this. He must have some land to live in.

That afternoon, the two of them went to see the fields with Brother Liu Shan. Liu Shan was indeed reliable, the fields they found for him were all good and fertile, and the prices were fair. Originally, he had bought 1502mu of land, but now he had bought 16 mu.

Xiao Yiming was extremely satisfied on the spot and told the seller that he wanted to sign the contract. In the end, it was because Luo Mannmann was a wife that had been bought, and her household register was not settled yet, so her name couldn't be hung up.

"Yiming, why don't you write your name?" Luo Mannmann didn't care whose name it was, she believed in Xiao Yiming. Besides, how could she care about this little bit of land when she had the ability to make money?

"Then what? We originally said that we were going to hang the name of our wife." The money was all earned by his wife, why was his name hanging on her name?

The seller was also anxious. He desperately needed money to sell the land and pay for his old mother's medical care.

Afraid that he would miss this opportunity, he hurriedly suggested, "Um, Brother Xiao, it's still early, why don't you bring your wife to the town to register your residence. When we return, we will sign our names."

"Alright, then I'll bring my wife to the town to register now." I just got back from town, and I have to go back.

Luo Mannmann initially did not want to go through all this trouble, but Xiao Yiming stubbornly refused. Luckily, it was still early in the morning when she went to the town to settle the matter of entering the town.
