Chapter 906: Liang Shi Wants to Buy a House
Da Niu and Lu Sanzhu were taken aback. "Shu Yu?"
Shu Yu handed the money pouch to them. "I know you've been inquiring about information, and it costs money. I can't just make you work for nothing and have you cover the expenses yourself. Take it first, and if..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Lu Sanzhu had already taken the money pouch.
Shu Yu snorted, then quietly took out another pouch from her pocket and handed it to Da Niu.
Da Niu chuckled, no longer refusing this time. "Understood, we'll leave now."
When they went out to search for a property today, they actually went to Tao Lin first. It was where Lu Sanzhu asked around for information.
Ordinary people wouldn't know if there were any good properties for sale outside the city.
Most of the people who visited Tao Lin were wealthy and idle young gentlemen and ladies. Lu Sanzhu couldn't establish relationships with these people.
But they had servants and cart drivers around them, who had a lot of information.
Lu Sanzhu bought some food and chatted with them, using his own money. He still remembered the pained expression on his uncle's face. Da Niu was truly impressed.
Now that Shu Yu gave them money, after Da Niu dropped them off at home, he directly gave Lu Sanzhu a couple of silver coins.
This amount included today's expenses and future ones.
Lu Sanzhu happily took the coins and turned to go home, urging Da Bao and Bao Ya to wash up and go to bed.
But as he turned his head, he noticed that Liang Shi was unusually quiet, as if she had changed.
Lu Sanzhu was taken aback and suddenly remembered that she hadn't said much on the way. He became nervous. "Wife, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Why didn't you say so earlier? We should have had Zhao Xi, a highly skilled doctor, look at you when we were at Second Brother's house."
Liang Shi couldn't help but roll her eyes. "I'm not feeling unwell."
"Then why were you as silent as a duck? You were constantly chattering before, but today you didn't say a word."
Liang Shi wanted to slap him on the spot. Fortunately, their two children approached them, so she snorted and said, "I'll talk to you later."
Lu Sanzhu could only suppress his confusion and take care of their children first.
After the two children fell asleep, the couple lay in bed and started talking.
"Wife, tell me, I can handle it."
Handle what? She wasn't about to die.
Liang Shi turned over and said to him, "Husband, I was thinking, should we also buy a house in the county town?"
"Buy a house? Are you full and have nothing to do? Why would we buy a house? We have a house in Shishi Village, and we can rent a house here. If you want to live in a big house, go to Shu Yu's mansion for a few days. When she buys servants, we can experience what it's like to be a lady of the house."
As he described it, Liang Shi actually found it quite beautiful and longed for it. She nodded approvingly. "Indeed, I also want to be served by servants. I... I was talking to you about buying a house, don't change the topic."
Liang Shi took a deep breath. "It was because I saw Shu Yu's mansion today that I had this idea. I just feel that having our own house would bring peace of mind."
"You're overthinking it. Our family is so poor, how can we afford a house in the county town?"
Lu San Zhu scoffed, but then he thought of something. His eyebrows furrowed, and he suddenly asked, "How much money do we have?"
Liang Shi always managed their money, and she was better at saving than him. So when their monthly wages were paid, he just handed them over to her.
Now he realized what an exceptional man he was.
