Chapter 20 I Spent the Money and the Village House Was Mine

When Shen Ningning returned to the restaurant, she found that Jiang Zhi had already left.

The dishes on the table were almost all eaten.

The waiter came up: "Miss, your friend left a note just now."

Shen Ningning took it and looked at it.

The two words "Thank you" were written very neatly.

After paying the bill, Shen Ningning left the restaurant and went straight to the jade shop.

As soon as she entered, she was dazzled by the dazzling array of pearls and jade.

The prices ranged from low to high, and there were all kinds of jades, dazzling.

Shen Ningning looked around.

The cheapest one cost three hundred taels, and it was just a small piece.

Moreover, it didn't look very good.

Shen Ningning saw a palm-sized statue of the God of Fortune at the top of the shelf.

It was made of yellow and white jade.

It looked very similar to his brother's jade!

The little guy quickly pointed at the jade and asked the shopkeeper: "What kind of jade is that? How much silver does it cost?"

Several waiters were busy greeting the guests.

Only the shopkeeper who was doing the accounting took a look at Shen Ningning, walked up and said patiently: "This is called Hetian jade, one inch is three hundred taels."

The little guy blinked his round eyes.

Just about to say it's not too expensive.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper quickly added: "Gold. One inch, three hundred taels of gold."

Shen Ningning immediately opened her mouth: "So expensive?"

How many medicinal materials should she sell to buy back the same jade to compensate her brother?

The shopkeeper smiled cooperatively: "Little girl, if you want to buy jade, let your family bring it."

Shen Ningning shook her head silently and turned to leave the shop.

She can't afford it now.

The little guy puffed up his pink cheeks and muttered softly: "Fairyland, fairyland, how can you be so powerful that you eat such expensive jade!"

It seems that she has to save money!

It was getting late, and Shen Ningning decided to go home.

Before leaving, she went to the cloth shop and bought several sets of clothes.

Then he went to the stable to hire a driver and headed back home.

This trip, he ate, bought clothes and sundries, and spent a total of 150 taels.

He packed the 200 taels that Granny Chen needed in a separate package.

Finally, Shen Ningning put all the remaining 550 taels into a small box in the fairyland.

The carriage stopped outside Xiangyun Village.

Shen Ningning carried the silver bag and walked towards Granny Chen's home.

On the way, he met the grandson of the village chief, who was playing in the dry fields with a group of seven or eight-year-old children.

As soon as they saw Shen Ningning, they ran over and followed her not far behind.

"Little wolf sister? Little wolf sister?" The village chief's grandson took the lead in calling.

Shen Ningning turned around, looking at them fiercely with her watery eyes.

Suddenly!

There were wolf howls in the Wolf Mountain behind Xiangyun Village.

The Black Wolf King knew that Shen Ningning was back, so he watched in the woods not far away.

The group of children immediately stopped and kept silent.

The village chief's grandson stammered: "Sorry, little wolf... Sister Wolf, we are just curious, we have no ill intentions."

Shen Ningning didn't want to argue with them, so she turned around and left.

The wolf howling in the forest stopped.

The little guy went to Granny Chen's house, closed the door, and unwrapped the package.

The white silver made Granny Chen's eyes red.

"Ningning, so much money..." She choked: "We will definitely pay it back in the future."

"Granny Chen, don't cry, send this money out quickly, saving your family is important, and we will talk about it later if you don't pay it back!" Shen Ningning waved her little hand, very generous.

Granny Chen nodded repeatedly, and there was no decent tea to entertain Shen Ningning.

Fortunately, the little guy didn't care, so Granny Chen hurried to the city to send the money.

Just when Shen Ningning was about to leave Xiangyun Village and go home, she was stopped by the village chief.

Village chief Deng Changshou, 65 years old, with gray hair, has great prestige in the village.

Earlier, when Aunt Qin bullied Shen Ningning, he couldn't stand it and said a few words.

But Aunt Qin didn't take the village chief seriously at all.

Therefore, Village Chief Deng no longer cared.

Seeing him now, Shen Ningning was curious: "Grandpa Village Chief, is there anything?"

The village chief asked with concern: "Ningning, how are you and your grandma living in the mountains now?"

"It's pretty good. Without uncle and aunt, grandma almost doesn't cry." The little guy answered truthfully.

The village chief nodded and sighed: "Your uncle Qin Sheng borrowed fifteen taels of silver from my family to buy rice. Your grandmother knows about this."

"Now it's time to pay back the money, but your uncle and aunt have been arrested and thrown into jail. I don't know when they can come back. I don't want to plead for them, but I'm worried that the money can't be paid back."

"My grandson is going to school soon. There are seven people in the family, and they all need to eat. Fifteen taels is not a lot, but it's not a little either."

"Can you..." The village chief stopped talking halfway.

He probably knew that it was not right to ask a four-year-old child to help Uncle Qin pay back the money.

But people always think about themselves first.

Besides, his family is not well-off and they are waiting for money.

Shen Ningning looked at him silently.

"Grandpa village chief, my uncles are not good to me." The little guy said softly.

The truth is already very clear in front of him.

They are not good to her, why should she help them pay back the money!

The village chief was startled and took out a signed red deed from his sleeve.

"Ningning, I'm not forcing you. Look, it's written in black and white, and there's a handprint on it. Your uncle mortgaged the house to me and said he couldn't pay back the money, so the village house is mine."

"You don't have to pay back the money, that's fine, then you can tell your grandma for me that the house belongs to me first, and if your uncle wants it back, just use the money to redeem it."

"We are all neighbors, I won't take advantage of you."

After that, the village chief turned and left.

In Shen Ningning's dark and moist eyes, the light flowed for a moment.

"Wait!" She called out to the other party.

The village chief turned around: "What's wrong, Ningning?"

The little guy stepped forward: "Uncle can't pay back the money, so this house belongs to the village chief grandfather."

"Then how much does it cost if I buy this village house from the village chief grandfather?"

The village chief was stunned, and came to his senses: "You want to buy it?"

Shen Ningning nodded decisively, her little face was pink and her expression was determined.

"I can pay, but I will only buy my own village house. The money that uncle owes you is his own debt, and I will not help him pay it back."

But the village house can still be bought.

The village chief thought about it and felt that it was a solution.

"Your yard is not big, and the location in our village is a little bit off. I don't want much. I will sell this house to you for 20 taels, okay?"

Shen Ningning agreed immediately: "Okay."

The village chief didn't expect the little guy to be so straightforward.

Shen Ningning also took into account that her grandmother had lived in the village house all her life.

She must have feelings for her house.

If it was gone like this, her grandmother would be sad.

"I still need the village chief grandfather to help me testify. Let's sign a deed. The house is given to me, and it is mine. If other people want to move in, the village chief grandfather should join the villagers to drive them out."

These other people, of course, refer to Aunt Qin's family!
