184 Chapter 184: Liu Family Wanted To Move Into Town

“There aren’t many vegetables left in the villages. The livestock is almost all gone because of the lack of water.”

“I only managed to collect this amount yesterday.”

Liu Daniu looked at Qin Xiaoyao with an apologetic expression.

Qin Xiaoyao glanced at the goods on the handcart and nodded.

!!

“It’s fine. It’s still better than nothing.”

“The business of Fortune Mansion and Fortune Restaurant aren’t as good as before. If you can’t gather enough, then so be it,” Qin Xiaoyao replied.

“Er… Mrs. Song. Another thing about the goods delivery…” Liu Daniu’s face suddenly tensed up, and he began stammering.

Qin Xiaoyao was very puzzled when she saw his expression.

“What’s wrong? Just say it.” She smiled at Liu Daniu.

Only then did Liu Daniu tell her what his family had said to him.

Qin Xiaoyao simply laughed when she heard that.

“Even if you didn’t bring it up, I was also prepared to discuss this matter with you these two days.”

“The woven bamboo products that I’ve bought are selling very slowly. We won’t be out of stock for the time being.”

“As for the goods Fortune Mansion wants, you guys are getting less on your collection rounds. There’s not much point in continuing.”

“Now that you’ve decided to give up, we can put aside the matter of collecting goods for now.”

“After the drought is over, we can go back to this business. At that point, we can discuss again and restart this business.”

The two brothers’ faces lit up with joy, and they both looked relieved.

Liu Daniu quickly took the basket of chicken eggs from the handcart.

“These are 20 eggs prepared by my mother. I hope you can accept them, Mrs. Song.”

“It’s all thanks to your care that our Liu family can lead a better life.”

“There’s also Big Girl and Xiaomei. We have to thank you for your family’s care during this period.”

Qin Xiaoyao looked at Liu Daniu and saw the sincerity in his eyes. She only pretended to reject it for a while before eventually accepting the basket of eggs.

Thereafter, she asked the two about their plans after this.

Liu Daniu told Qin Xiaoyao about what had happened at the Wang family’s home the day before, as well as his parents’ plans.

After consoling Wang Xiaomei a little, Liu Daniu turned to look at Qin Xiaoyao.

“Father and Mother’s intention is for us to come to town to rent a courtyard house or two rooms. After that, we’ll think of a way to get a job in town.”

“After that, if they really can’t stay in the village anymore, our parents will also come to town to seek refuge with us,” Liu Daniu said.

As he spoke, he also looked at Qin Xiaoyao with anticipation.

“Mrs. Song, you’re familiar with the town. Can I trouble you to ask Aunt to help me ask around and see if there are any cheap courtyard houses for sale or rent near the market on West Street?”

Liu Erniu also looked at Qin Xiaoyao expectantly.

Qin Xiaoyao was surprised by the Liu family’s decision.

However, when she thought about the news she had heard about the drought, she could understand.

“Alright. I’ll ask my mother later. However, my mother is not a broker. If you’re in a hurry, you can go straight to the broker and ask.”

“If you don’t know any broker, I can help introduce one to you.” Cao An, who had helped them purchase their courtyard dwelling earlier, was a good person.

“There’s no hurry. We’ll look for work for the next two days and wait for news from Aunt Song. If it doesn’t work, we’ll go and look for a broker,” Liu Daniu said immediately.

His concern was if they approached a broker, they would have to pay a middleman’s fee.

It would be good if they could save this sum of money.

From today onward, they no longer needed to go to the countryside to collect goods.

He was not afraid of going back and forth between the town and Brook Falls Village.

Well, actually, they wanted to live next door to the Song family.

Big Girl and Xiaomei had rented two rooms next door, so they could actually free up one room for the two of them temporarily.

However, the neighbors staying next door were all women. When the girls rented the rooms, Aunt Sun made it clear upfront that men were not allowed to move in.

After that, whenever he came to town, he would try his best not to visit the Sun family.

Therefore, there was no other way.

Fortunately, their parents agreed to let them rent a courtyard house in town.

If he could really rent a courtyard house, the girls could give up the two rooms they rented from the Sun family.

This way, he could hug his wife to sleep again in the future.

Qin Xiaoyao thought about it and nodded.

She chatted with the two of them for a while longer before going back to work.

The two brothers stayed in the courtyard, waiting for Big Girl Li and Liu Xiaomei to come over.

Later, when the Song family was having breakfast, Qin Xiaoyao told Madam Liu about this matter.

“Oh, renting a courtyard house? It’s… not easy to rent a courtyard house now,” Madam Liu said quickly.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she continued, “During such hot weather, fewer people go out, and there are fewer empty courtyard houses.”

Suddenly, Madam Liu thought of something, and her eyes flickered again.

...

“Oh yes! The Huang family at the end of the lane! A few days ago, Grandma Huang mentioned it when she came to sell chicken eggs! She said that there’s a small courtyard house in the illegal construction area near her house that is looking for a buyer.”

Madam Liu looked at Qin Xiaoyao. “Shall I go ask her later?” she asked.

If it had been anyone else, she would not have bothered to help.

However, the Liu family was on good terms with her daughter-in-law and had some friendship with the Song family.

It was worth it for her to make this trip.

“Mm-hmm. Then I’ll have to trouble Mother to ask her. Let’s see what the price is. If they don’t want to buy it, perhaps they can rent it?” Qin Xiaoyao said.

Ever since she moved into her new home, she had looked down on the houses located in the illegal construction area.

However, such houses might have a different meaning to the Liu family.

“Good! I’ll go after my meal!” Madam Liu immediately said.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaomei’s eyes flickered, but she didn’t say anything.

After the meal, Madam Liu packed up and went out.

...

Recently, there had been a lot of people coming to her house to sell chicken and duck eggs. In addition, she had collected a lot of eggs in the market on West Street yesterday, so she did not have to go to the market on West Street today.

As for the matter of buying groceries, it was already taken care of by her daughter, so she did not need to worry about it.

After leaving the house, Madam Liu walked along the lane and found her way to the end of the lane.

After inquiring from the neighbors she met on the way, she finally found the Huang family’s place.

Grandma Huang was just about to go out to the streets when she saw Madam Liu. Her face lit up.

“What brings you here? Hurry and come in!” She hurriedly welcomed Madam Liu into the house.

Madam Liu of the Song family was very popular in Yong An Lane.

The neighbors in Yong An Lane now went to her house to buy water almost every day.

The chicken and duck eggs produced by each household were also sent to be sold to Madam Liu.

Occasionally, she would also buy some fresh bean sprouts from Madam Liu to eat.

In short, Madam Liu’s business was so good that everyone was envious, but they did not feel any jealousy.

Everyone in her family was capable.

Moreover, they were kind, so everyone was willing to deal with their family.

“Hehe! I’m here to ask you something.” Madam Liu entered with a smile.

Then, she followed Grandma Huang to the hall, chatting and laughing.

Grandma Huang served tea in an extremely polite manner.

Madam Liu drank her tea and looked at Grandma Huang with a beaming smile.

“It’s like this. My neighbor from the village came to me and said that he wanted to rent a courtyard house in town. If the price is right, they may even buy it. ”

“Previously, I heard you say that your family happened to have a courtyard house that you wanted to dispose of. I wonder if it’s still available?” she asked Grandma Huang.

Grandma Huang was taken aback.

Then, she broke into a wide smile.
