Chapter 258 A WastelandHappy Valentine's Day

Qingfu Town has been established for a long time, and He'an Prefecture is close to the south of the Yangtze River and is richer than the northwest part of Zhongzhou. Any wealthy household with some skills will send people to search for shops everywhere. As long as there is something for sale, it will be bought soon. .

"There are only three streets in Qingfu Town. The front street, the back street, and the main street. The shops on all the streets are owned. And the shops on the main street have long been occupied by wealthy households in the county. "

Even on the two not-so-good streets, Front Street and Back Street, the shops were bought by the families of various liars, scribes, and government officials.

The remaining shops are left by families who have lived in the town for nearly a hundred years. They are ancestral properties. The front shop and the back yard are the family's livelihood inheritance, and no one will sell it.

Old Doctor Wu gave them a clear explanation of the relationship between the shops on the street: "I have been in the town for more than twenty years. That is, five years ago, Mr. Zhou's family on the main street sold a shop. It was Mr. Zhou. The old man was promoted to a high position, and Master Zhou followed him to take up his post, so it was sold. It's difficult for you to buy a shop."

Gu Jinli frowned when he heard that it was so difficult to buy a shop in Qingfu Town.

Mrs. Chen originally came here happily and wanted to buy a shop and be the shopkeeper. When she heard what Old Doctor Wu said, she looked like she was struck by lightning: "What can we do? Old Doctor Wu, your Xuanhufang Cant you help us?

Ms. Chen, what are you talking about? Shut up now. Third Grandpa scolded Mrs. Chen. Old Doctor Wu had already helped them a lot, so they couldnt just ask Old Doctor Wu to help them with everything.

Brother Wu, dont worry about this junior being ignorant.

Old doctor Wu waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's okay."

Since Gu Dagui and his wife have been setting up a stall in the town for so long, the people in Xuanhufang have long known Mr. Chens temper. This person is not bad-hearted, but he is greedy for gain and sometimes has no clue what he says.

While they were talking, Gu Jinli took off the bamboo tube from his waist, took out paper, pen and ink, and began to write and draw.

She learned it from Qin Sanlang. Qin Sanlang would carry a machete, a rope, a fire stick, and two small bamboo tubes with him. One small bamboo tube contained a brush and rolled yellow paper, and the other small bamboo tube contained mixed ink.

After a while, she drew a simple map of Qingfu Town based on her memory, and asked old doctor Wu: "Grandpa Wu, is the open space outside the gatehouse of the town from the town or Shangjia Village?"

Shangjia Village is the nearest village to the town, and outside the gatehouse of the town, there is a large piece of wasteland. I wonder who owns those wastelands?

And it was the wasteland that Gu Jinli was interested in.

No one sells shops in the town, it doesnt matter, she can buy land and build it herself!

Old Doctor Wu couldn't answer: "I'm not sure. The land outside the gatehouse has been deserted for a long time. When I came here, it used to be a pond. Later, because there was no running water, it smelled very bad in the summer. Everyone It was filled up, and now no one cares where the people in the town dump their garbage. Even the person who dumps the night incense burns the garbage once a month."

Gu Jinli frowned. Even Old Doctor Wu didn't know who owned that wasteland.

Mrs. Wu is an experienced woman. When Gu Jinli asked this question, she knew what she was planning. However, Old Doctor Wu was not one of those short-sighted people. Even if he knew about it, he would not fight for the land with Gu Jinli. Instead, he reminded: "Shang Xiucai or the Jiang family may know that if you want to do this, you must avoid it." Pay attention to people, so as not to attract people's attention before it is completed."

This child is smart, his eyes are poisonous, and he can see the wasteland at a glance.

Yes, I know this junior, thank you Grandpa Wu for reminding me. Gu Jinli smiled and thanked Old Doctor Wu. Dr. Wu is right, as the saying goes, meat that no one robs is rotten meat, but once someone robs it, the rotten meat will turn into a Buddha and jump over the wall, and you will be fragrant immediately.

"Xiaoyu, old doctor Wu, what riddles are you trying to solve?" Mrs. Chen became anxious and ran over to stare at Gu Jinli and asked.

Gu Jinli stretched out his hand to push her away, put away the simple map he had drawn, and said: "We are not doing charades, we are talking in human language." Chen was choked. Gu Jinli, this **** child, always undermined her every time he spoke, but She couldn't do anything to her. Gu Jinli was fierce and liked to use knives. She was no match for her.

Third Grandpa said: "Don't ask. When is there anything Xiaoyu wants to do that is not beneficial to our family? If you ask here and there and ruin Xiaoyu's affairs, I won't be able to forgive you."

Even though Chen was a fierce person, she was very afraid of Third Grandpa. When she heard this, although she felt itchy in her heart and wanted to know Gu Jinli's plan, she had no choice but to give up.

Gu Jinli already had a plan in mind, so he handed a one hundred tael silver note to old doctor Wu: "Grandpa Wu, this is the money for the medicinal materials you sent the day before yesterday. You can keep it first."

He said sheepishly: "If things go well, I may owe you some money for the remaining medicinal materials. I won't be able to give it to you until Master Lei Wu settles the payment for us on April 26th."

Old doctor Wu took the banknote and said, "Okay, isn't it just a credit card? I'm afraid you might run away."

Old doctor Wu has some background and has seen a lot of money. A few hundred taels is nothing to him, and he can trust the Gu family.

Although they came here to escape famine, they are all honest people.

Gu Jinli was very grateful, and chatted with old doctor Wu for a while, played with Du Xusheng and Du Dingxiang for a while, and then left.

Old doctor Wu asked brother and sister Du Xusheng to see them off.

After leaving Xuanhufang, Du Xusheng said: "Grandpa Gu San, come and see us when you have time. Grandpa has talked about you several times and said he wants to drink with you all the time."

Grandpa often said that they fled from famine and had no support in Qingfu Town. However, they and Grandpa Gu San were from the same hometown. They had to keep in touch and work out their feelings. If anything happened to his family in the future, he would have someone to help him. people.

Hey, third grandpa knows about it. Go back and tell your grandpa. Come back next time. I will definitely wait for him to come back and finish drinking with him before leaving.

Okay, I will definitely tell grandpa. Du Xusheng responded happily.

Third Grandpa smiled and touched Du Xusheng's head, then turned around and left with a few others.

Gu Jinli said: "Third Grandpa, let's go to Shangjia Village before Uncle Luo and the others close the stall."

She has to ask who owns that piece of land? Is there an owner or not? If you dont have the owner, go directly to the county government office to buy it.

Third Grandpa said: "Okay, let's go right away."

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she shouted: "Uncle, are we going back now? Why don't we go to town and ask which shop has a shop for sale?"

Luo Huiniang said: "My dear aunt, old doctor Wu has already said that all the shops in this town are owned by owners and no one is selling them. Why do you ask? You don't have to be kicked out."

"What do you know? Even if no one sells at first, as long as we are willing to pay more, there will naturally be those who are willing to sell after seeing the money." Mrs. Chen is very wealthy and feels that as long as they spend money, someone in the town will be willing to sell. shop.
