Chapter 104 Living in the Village
Lin Darong frowned slightly, "It would be fine if they went to live in the village. They can just ask the village chief to buy a piece of land from the Yamen to build a house."
Lin Darong did not tell Ah Li that a harmonious person like Ruan Yueling would be criticized in the village.
When Ah Li heard that, as long as she had money, it would be fine, and she quickly said good night to Lin Darong.
He ran to Ruan Yueling's room again and told them what Lin Darong had said.
Ruan Yueling and Qinglan were very happy and planned to visit Ah Li's village tomorrow.
Early the next morning, the innkeeper knocked on Ruan Yueling's door.
"Shopkeeper, what can I do for you?"
Qinglan looked at him with confusion.
The innkeeper said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Girl, I... I'm afraid I can't let you stay in this inn anymore."
"Why? We won't miss you a penny of the rent, why don't you let us live in it?"
"Oh, it's not easy to look at you, so I'll tell you the truth! The Cheng family had ordered people in the city not to let you stay in the inns early in the morning. There's nothing I can do about it. The Cheng family is rich and powerful.
I can’t afford to offend you!”
When Qinglan heard this, she knew that the Cheng family was secretly starting to make things difficult for them.
"Shopkeeper, I understand. We will leave when the check-out time comes."
The shopkeeper had no choice but to nod. He was a businessman who didn't want to offend anyone.
After he left, Qinglan went in to report to Ruan Yueling with a sad look on her face.
"Okay, I've already guessed that they will take action. After all, we made the Cheng family lose face yesterday."
"Miss, we are obviously the ones who were hurt. They really went too far."
"Okay, don't talk so much. Just clean up quickly and let me think about the rest."
It didn't take long for her to arrange escorts to deal with most of her dowry. It didn't matter if it was cheaper.
She is no longer the third young mistress of the Cheng family or the young lady of the Ruan family. Since she plans to start her life again, she might as well give up some things and find a cleaner place to live.
The guards also quickly finished processing the dowry. Because they were anxious, the other party discounted the price a lot. Fortunately, her dowry was all fashionable things in Jiangnan, and the original price was not low.
They also sold a lot of money, and she exchanged it all for silver notes so that she could take it away.
By the time A Li and Lin Darong got up, Ruan Yueling and the others had already bought a carriage carrying their belongings and were waiting at the door.
"A Li, Brother Lin, can we go to the village with you to have a look?"
Ah Li nodded happily and said, "Of course!"
Then they returned to Peach Blossom Village together.
When they arrived at Lin's house, Ah Li affectionately pulled Ruan Yueling out of the carriage.
Then he ran to the door of the yard alone and shouted into the yard, "Mom, dad, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, little Mengyao, we are back!"
When the people in the room heard her voice, they all ran out one after another.
Mrs. Pei came out and patted Ah Li's little butt, "You girl have been away for so long and haven't come back, which makes me worried."
"Hey, Mom, we were delayed because of something, don't worry!"
At this time, Mrs. Pei saw Ruan Yueling and her maidservants.
"Li Li, boss, who are these?"
"Mom, this is Sister Ruan Yueling. Behind her are her maids and guards. Sister Ruan wants to be our neighbor, and she wants to buy land from the village chief uncle later!"
When Mrs. Pei heard that Ruan Yueling wanted to build a house here, she was naturally a little happy, so that they would have a new neighbor.
"Then you go sit inside first and don't worry about buying the land."
The group of people then walked in.
Ruan Yueling is also very satisfied with this place. There are mountains and water. There are not many people nearby A Li and others, so it is very quiet.
After entering the house, Mrs. Pei prepared cakes according to the recipe given by Ah Li to treat Ruan Yueling.
Ah Li went back to the house for a while.
She couldn't resist, so she tasted a piece, but it tasted surprisingly good.
"Auntie, your craftsmanship is so good. This pastry is even more delicious than the pastry shops in the city."
"Miss, you praised me. I've just learned it. My carp likes to eat it, so I just messed around."
Seeing Mrs. Pei's love for Ah Li, she couldn't help but feel envious.
When she was as old as Ah Li, her mother had already raised her as a lady, with many rules and regulations.
"Auntie really loves Ah Li."
"Actually, Lili is the one who attracts people's pain. She is sensible and thinks of us no matter what."
"Yes, the little miracle doctor Ah Li is really good. It's thanks to her that she saved my life this time. Otherwise, I might be like a handful of dirt now."
Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Zhang and Yan next to her were a little curious.
They were a little surprised that Ah Li had not gone to treat the third young lady of the Cheng family.
"You wouldn't be?"
Ruan Yueling knew what surprised them, so he told them what happened yesterday.
She also told her about her idea of coming to live in Taohua Village.
Her intuition tells her that this family is a good person and worthy of her trust.
After hearing this, Mrs. Pei and her two daughters-in-law were very angry at the Cheng family, and at the same time felt that Ruan Yueling was really pitiful.
It seems that this wealthy family only looks good on the surface, but is really bad in private.
Mrs. Pei said to Ruan Yueling: "If you fall in love with our village, you can stay and we will try our best to help you. Although we don't have other great abilities, if someone bullies you in the village, we, the third wife and the third wife, can still stand up to each other in a quarrel."
of."
These words made Ruan Yueling, who was a little worried, laugh instantly.
"Auntie, I think we are very lucky to have such nice people as our neighbors."
At noon, Mrs. Zhang caught a chicken and stewed it.
Mrs. Pei asked Lin Changlu to invite the village chief to his home for a drink and tell him Ruan Yueling's thoughts.
They ate at the men's table and at the women's table.
When the village chief heard that Lin Changlu said that Ruan Yueling wanted to buy land, he felt a little happy.
"That's not easy. Let Miss Ruan choose a place. How many acres are needed? Then I will measure it and then go to the city to pay money in exchange for the land deed."
After having enough wine and food.
Mrs. Pei and Lin Changlu introduced Ruan Yueling to meet the village chief. After all, he was the head of the village.
In the end, Ruan Yueling chose the open space opposite Lin's house.
After the village chief made the measurements, he asked each of them to go to the Yamen to apply for the land deed with him.
Ruan Yueling didn't want the Cheng family to know that she was here, so she asked the village chief to help with the land deed.
After the land issue was settled, she discussed with the Lin family about building a house later, and handed over the matter to Lin Changlu and his son to help her hire people to do the work.
She offered money, and Lin Changlu and others agreed, thinking they could make some money.
They had no place to live and it was troublesome to rent a house in the village, so they let Ruan Yueling live in their house.
The two guards built a shed next to the yard to stay.
