79, confused again
After hearing Shi Jinrou's question, Zhang's mother smiled a little embarrassedly and replied in a slight sense: "She asked for a price not much, only sixty taels, but she also gave me the final note and said it was fifty-five taels and sold it."
Zhang's mother knew that Miss Cousin had no money, and now Miss Cousin was going to Beijing with his father again. She even advised Miss Cousin to buy a yard, but she was really sorry. But when she thought of her cousin's situation, she could only speak with a shame.
Shi Jinrou didn't expect it to be so cheap, but she really had no money. Not to mention sixty taels, she didn't even have six taels. She lived in Dong's house and provided her daily food, clothing, housing and transportation. Even if she had to spend money in special circumstances, the eldest wife arranged it to do it for her. Shi Jinrou suddenly remembered that she had traveled through time and had never seen what money was like. Alas, this "Miss Cousin" was really frustrating.
But Shi Jinrou decided to discuss with her father and suggested that her father buy this "super cheap" yard. Because Shi Jinrou firmly believed that she would definitely get that 15,000 taels of silver!
Shi Jinrou couldn't help but ask, "Where is the yard?"
Mother Zhang quickly introduced: "The location is a bit off. Near the Xicheng Gate, it can be considered a two-entry yard. There are three main houses in each room, and there are more than ten rooms in the wing room and the back cover room. It is no problem to live in a 20-30 person." Speaking of this, Mother Zhang suddenly stopped and smiled embarrassedly, and said in a low voice: "Miss Cousin, don't blame me, I forgot that you are going to Beijing."
Shi Jinrou had already seen that Zhang's mother was just a straight man and would not turn anyway, so she didn't care about it and said, "It's okay, the wet nurse continues."
Seeing that Shi Jinrou was neither angry nor bored, Zhang's mother said again: "Although the yard is a little off, there are honest families around her. There is a shop behind the yard, which is usually noisy. If the cousin wants to live there, it will naturally be a little inconvenient, but if you just put things on, it will be fine."
Shi Jinrou nodded thoughtfully. The geographical location doesn't matter. Even if there are thieves, they will probably think about the deposit and goods in the shop and will not have such an idea of a civilian courtyard. Besides, she just wanted to move some things that were inconvenient to take away. There was nothing too valuable, so it should be fine to put them there.
So Shi Jinrou nodded and said, "I understand. I will take the time to take a look. If it is suitable, I will buy it."
Mother Zhang agreed happily and thanked Shi Jinrou for her cousin.
After a few more gossips, Shi Jinru asked inadvertently: "Woman, why did you quit your job?"
Zhang's mother hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "It was my second aunt who asked me to quit."
Shi Jinrou was stunned. She always thought that her mother must have left. The eldest wife could not tolerate the servants who had served her mother and her, so she sent them one by one. She really didn't expect that Zhang's mother was quitting her. No, didn't Xiao Lian say that Zhang's mother quit her job on the day her mother passed away?
