Chapter 93: Chapter 93

"What’s the matter?" Shen Shan and Dong Yao looked at her simultaneously.

Shen Qinglan said, "It’s just... I bought a house in town."

"What? You bought a house in town?" Dong Yao was shocked.

Shen Shan frowned and asked, "The house in town costs at least several hundred taels. Where did you get that much money?"

Shen Qinglan sat down next to Dong Yao and explained, "The house was originally owned by Shopkeeper Tang, but since his wife and children live in the prefecture, and he has new accommodations, the house is empty now. When he heard I wanted to buy a house, he sold it to me cheaply."

"How much was it?" Shen Shan asked.

Shen Qinglan said without a hint of embarrassment, "Not much, just two hundred taels. I can pay it back by working at Shengxiang Restaurant for two years."

"Two hundred taels? How big is that house?"

Although Dong Yao and Shen Shan are genuine farmers, they do know that houses in town are not cheap.

Shen Qinglan said, "It’s quite big, a three-entry house, with more than ten rooms."

When they heard this, both took a sharp breath, "More than ten rooms? How big is that!"

Shen Qinglan said, "Let’s not talk about that now. Dad, Mom, this house is leaking so badly. Tomorrow morning, come with me to the town and stay for a while. As for this house, it should be demolished and rebuilt."

Anyway, she doesn’t lack money now. Building another tile-roofed house in the village would cost at most a hundred taels.

"Rebuild?" Dong Yao sighed softly, "It’s easy to say, but where would the money come from?" Read complete versıon only at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽

Shen Qinglan said, "I’ll handle the money problem!"

Dong Yao affectionately stroked her black hair, "Your father and I know that our Qinglan has grown up, but some things shouldn’t be a girl’s burden to bear alone. Rebuilding the house can wait for later!"

Shen Qinglan smiled rarely and said, "Mom, you’ve forgotten, I have a gift from heaven. Don’t worry, if I say I can solve it, I definitely can. Trust me!"

Today, you could say, was the day she talked the most since she traveled here.

"Alright!" Shen Shan said, "Your brother is sixteen now. Once we get to town, he should find a job too. As a boy, he shouldn’t rely on a girl for everything."

Shen Qinglan nodded, "Sure! I can help look for one. Dad can work in town as well if he wants!"

Coincidentally, the Guest House is hiring, and having them work at their own restaurant would make her feel more at ease.

Shen Shan said, "These old bones of mine only know farming. Who would want me?"

Shen Qinglan chuckled gently and said, "Don’t worry, with me around, they’ll definitely want you."

Hearing this, Shen Shan also started laughing. Dong Yao laughed and said, "Your dad doesn’t know much, but he’s quite good at cooking."

"Oh?" Shen Qinglan was surprised and asked Shen Shan, "Really?"

Since she came here, she hadn’t tasted Shen Shan’s cooking yet. Although he did heat up some food for her once, the taste was unmistakably Shen Qingju’s.

Dong Yao laughed, "When your dad was young, he worked as a cook at a restaurant in town. It was only after he married me that he stopped."

"That was so long ago, why mention it now?"

Shen Shan glanced at Dong Yao, then said to Shen Qinglan, "It’s been more than ten years since your dad last cooked, and I’m quite out of practice."

"That’s not a problem!" Shen Qinglan laughed, "You just need to brush up on your skills!"

It’s just right to have Shen Shan help Ji Nian and his wife with some work. They shouldn’t rely on others for everything.
