As soon as this sentence was said, the situation suddenly became awkward.
Xie Shuhua held the box in her hand, the smile on her face was still there, but she suddenly froze.
She suddenly felt that what she was holding was not jewelry, but the face she had thrown away.
Xie Sihua couldn't hold it back and shouted directly: "Is it for Xie Songhua?"
Looking at the reactions of everyone in the Xie family, the shopkeeper knew that he had made a mistake. He apologetically took the box in Xie Shuhua's hand and brought it to Xie Songhua, "That's for you, girl."
Tears suddenly welled up in Xie Shuhua's eyes. She couldn't bear it anymore and immediately got back into the carriage.
Mrs. Qi was so angry that her eyes turned black. She walked quickly to the shopkeeper and said with an evil expression: "This is not something our family bought. There is no reason for it to be delivered to us. We won't accept it. You can return it yourself!"
"
As he said this, he was about to snatch the box of jewelry from Xie Songhua's hand, but was stopped by the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper almost cried, "Madam, please don't embarrass me. The distinguished guest saw this set of clothes when he came up, so he just asked
I didn't even pay back the price or counter-offer. I just gave him the banknote and asked him to deliver it to me, and he left immediately.
Even if I want to return it, I have no place to pay it back! Since it was a girl from your house who saved my life, it is reasonable and reasonable for me to give this as a thank you gift. Why bother asking me to take this on?"
Mrs. Qi wanted to say more, but Xie Wenyuan said: "Second sister-in-law, forget about taking it! The other party is obviously a person who knows how to repay his kindness. If he takes this opportunity to confiscate it now, I am afraid that others will ask about it later.
The origin of the fourth girl will only get worse by then."
Mr. Qi was stunned for a moment and had to admit that what Xie Wenyuan said made sense, so she turned around and left with a cold face.
Nine hundred taels of silver!
Xie Songhua almost couldn't hold back his saliva. According to the market price in his previous life, this was almost a house in a small place!
Xie Wenyuan couldn't help but be amused by her appearance, "Why are you doing this?"
Then he kindly reminded: "Put this thing away when you bring it back! You can bring it with you later. Your third sister didn't get it even though she wanted it, but it fell into your hands. Don't attract anyone's attention."
Xie Songhua raised her head and looked at Xie Wenyuan blankly, which made her a little puzzled, "Don't you understand?"
"No!" Xie Songhua hesitated before saying, "I have only met my aunt for a few days."
The expression on Xie Wenyuan's face was a little subtle, but in the blink of an eye he smiled and said: "You are a taboo instructing Jiao Qian Shen Shen, but what did you just call me?"
She patted Xie Songhua's shoulder and said, "I am your aunt. We are naturally related by blood. It is my duty to teach you.
If you come from the countryside, you may not understand the rules of this big family, but if you want to survive in such an environment, you have to learn many things."
A warmth suddenly surged in Xie Songhua's chest. She bit her lip and wanted to say something, but she felt that nothing could be said.
After a while, he lowered his head and said softly, "Thank you."
Xie Wenyuan just smiled faintly, patted her hand again, and said no more.
Mrs. Qi also kept her word. She said she would pay for it this time, and it was really her money.
When everyone brought the things to Shouan Hall to show the old lady, the old lady was indeed very happy.
It's not that she is reluctant to give up money, nor does she have this little private property, but she is just happy to see the head of the family's daughter-in-law being generous to all the children.
Seeing the noodles that Xie Wenyuan bought for Xie Songhua, the old lady also smiled and said that it was a gift from her aunt and asked her to keep it.
As for the ruby set, Xie Songhua naturally didn't take it out.
Each of the three sisters at home had someone else choose them for them. Xie Qian and Xie Tu both had faces full of gratitude, but Xie Qionghua was the only one who was disappointed.
When Yu Ruzhuo saw Xie Songhua sitting alone in the room with the door closed, having fun like a rat that stole oil, Yu Ruzhuo couldn't help but laugh, "Why are you so excited?"
Xie Songhua looked in the mirror and tried on the fancy jewelry one by one, his eyes almost shining, "I have never been so rich in my life!"
This adds up to a thousand or hundreds of taels!
According to the prices of goods in this era, if one day she really can no longer survive, and she packs this bag of things, plus the money given by Xie Yuncang, she will be considered a small asset.
"How much does it cost to buy a two-bedroom house in a remote area of the capital?"
"You want to buy a house?" Yu Ruzhuo seemed a little surprised.
"I was just asking."
Of course she would want to buy it if she had money! Probably no one here can understand the obsession of a person from a later generation like her, towards a house.
The Xie family has many wonderful things, but there are too many people.
Although Yanchuntai is her own territory, it is the Xie family's land after all.
Having a house of his own was also Xie Songhua's basic requirement for himself in his previous life.
"The more expensive ones are not expensive. For example, the drug store in Nancheng costs about two thousand silver."
"Hiss!" Xie Songhua still took a breath of cold air.
Excuse me.
Can't afford it!
After carefully packing up the jewelry one by one and locking it up, Xie Songhua thought for a while before carefully asking: "Do you have any connections?"
Her tone was quite different from when she usually talked to Yu Ruzhuo, which made Yu Ruzhuo's voice sound a little confused, "What's wrong?"
"I..." Xie Songhua thought for a while and then said seriously, "I want to ask you if you can help me find out about these two people. I want to know how they are doing now and whether everything is okay."
"Your adoptive parents?"
Xie Songhua couldn't see Yu Ruzhuo, but inexplicably felt that the person opposite might have a somewhat surprised expression.
She didn't hide it either, "I know that from the moment I stepped into the Xie family's door, I have nothing to do with the Jiang family.
Moreover, the Xie family gave them a sum of money, and also asked the clan leader of the Jiang family to take care of them in their old age, and also asked them not to have any contact with me in the future.
But they only have one child like me, and Xie Shuhua refuses to go back, so they are left with nothing, and where is their hope for life? And with all that money, will the people in the clan really take care of them?"
"What are you going to do if they don't live well?"
Yu Ruzhuo's question is the key to Xie Songhua's thinking during this period.
Now in the Xie family, she has to work very hard to survive.
If she knew that the two elderly Jiang family members were not doing well, could she take them over?
After he was picked up, where should he be placed? What if the Xie family found out?
She has no answer.
"You...if you can, please help me find out first. As for the rest...we'll talk about it after we get the results! Maybe I can walk out of this door in the future and decide my own affairs independently."
When Xie Songhua thought about this possibility, his face unconsciously revealed a hint of expectation. Who can say for sure?
"It's not as easy as you think outside."
There was a hint of warning in Yu Ruzhuo's tone, and Xie Songhua couldn't help but smile, "I just want to build a house to be prepared for trouble!"
Just as he was talking, Xie Yuncang sent someone to call her over.
