Chapter 223 Selling the Shop
Jiang Yuwei was shocked. Could it be that the bandits came to her house so soon?
Just as Jiang Yuwei was about to shout, she heard a familiar female voice.
"Don't shout. I'll just ask you a few questions and then leave."
Jiang Yuwei was able to see clearly in the moonlight that the person coming was Xu Qianqian. Just as she was wondering what Xu Qianqian wanted to talk to her about, she heard her speak.
"Well, Jiang Yuwei, I heard from Mrs. Chen that your second son is the eldest son of some royal palace? Now the royal palace has come to your house to claim your relationship. Is this true?"
Jiang Yuwei looked at Xu Qianqian puzzledly on the weekend:
"You dragged me into this woods, just to ask me this question in a mysterious way? You are such a strange person! Let me go, I am anxious to go home!"
Seeing this, Xu Qianqian pulled even harder.
"Stop talking nonsense and just tell me whether this really happened or not! I think that old lady Chen doesn't tell the truth all day long!"
Jiang Yuwei shook off Xu Qianqian's arm with all her strength and said impatiently:
"That's true, but what does it have to do with you? Why are you asking so much about it?"
Xu Qianqian's eyes lit up immediately after hearing Jiang Yuwei's words. She turned around and walked away, muttering:
"Nothing, I'm just curious and asking around."
Jiang Yuwei looked at Xu Qianqian's back and felt a little strange, but she didn't think much about it. She was anxious to go to Aunt Zhou's house to discuss the marriage of Ning Wu and Ning Qiu, so she left in a hurry.
When Jiang Yuwei arrived at Aunt Zhou's house, the cold noodles cooked by Aunt Zhou's family had just come out of the pot.
When Aunt Zhou saw Jiang Yuwei coming, she directly served her a large bowl and handed it to Jiang Yuwei.
"Yuwei, please sit down and try the noodles made by your aunt."
Jiang Yuwei didn't hesitate to take the bowl and sat down. She had been busy all day and hadn't had time to eat a single bite of food. Now, seeing the cold noodles, she felt really hungry.
Jiang Yuwei looked at Aunt Zhou and said with a smile:
"Aunt Zhou, I just came out from the headman's house and rushed over to see you."
After hearing what Jiang Yuwei said, Ning Wu quickly put down the work in his hands, followed Aunt Zhou to sit at the table, and stared at Jiang Yuwei with a nervous look on his face.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei didn't keep it a secret and said with a smile:
"Ning Qiu and Ning Wu's marriage has been arranged. The village head wants us to gather our close relatives together and simply arrange the wedding. The world is in turmoil right now, so we should move up the wedding date and set it for the day after tomorrow."
Ning Wu jumped up excitedly after hearing this and kept bowing to Jiang Yuwei.
"Sister Yuwei, thank you, thank you so much!"
After saying that, he turned around and hugged Tiezhu who came out of the house and shouted excitedly:
"Brother! Brother! Did you hear me? I'm getting married! I'm getting married the day after tomorrow!"
Seeing this, Tiezhu was happy for Ning Wu and just laughed.
After hearing this, Aunt Zhou said with a worried look on her face:
"Yuwei, don't you think the date is too close? I'm afraid we haven't done it well enough, and the head of the village will not agree. He will then accuse us of mistreating Ning Qiu."
Jiang Yuwei took a bite of noodles and said with a smile:
"Aunt Zhou, don't think too much. The head of the village is not a picky person. We should do our best and not skimp on the proper etiquette. If they ask for two taels of betrothal money for Ning Qiu and buy her a new set of clothes, that will be enough."
Aunt Zhou nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
"Okay, two taels is not a lot, my family can afford it, the head of the village is really sensible. Let's do this, tomorrow Ning Wu and I will drive the ox cart to the town to buy some preparations, and then take Ning Qiu with us to the town to buy her two new sets of clothes."
Jiang Yuwei was very satisfied when Aunt Zhou said this. Marriage is a good thing for both parties. If both families care about each other and consider the young couple, then this marriage is a good thing.
Jiang Yuwei put down the bowl, looked at Aunt Zhou and said:
"You go to town to buy things. If one ox cart is not enough, go to Aunt Zhang's house and ask them to help you with a cart. By the way, it's too chaotic outside right now, so let Tiezhu go with you tomorrow."
Aunt Zhou thought for a moment and nodded:
"Okay, I understand, Yuwei. I'll trouble you to take care of Ning Wu's marriage. One ox cart will be enough for our family tomorrow, so we won't trouble Aunt Zhang's family."
Jiang Yuwei nodded and smiled:
"Okay, I'll go back now that I'm full. Time is running out. You guys should hurry up and send the letter. Make a decision about who to invite and who not to invite. If you have anything, come to the courtyard to find me."
Aunt Zhou nodded quickly, stood up and sent Jiang Yuwei away.
When Jiang Yuwei returned to the courtyard, everyone had gone to bed. Only Ning Huaizhi was waiting for Jiang Yuwei at the gate.
"Yuwei, you're back. I asked Mrs. Liu to warm the food for you. Go and eat."
Jiang Yuwei touched her round belly and waved her hand:
"I've eaten at Aunt Zhou's, and I really can't eat it right now."
Ning Huaizhi nodded and looked at Jiang Yuwei and spoke slowly:
"Yuwei, don't worry too much about the shop."
Seeing that Ning Huaizhi was worried that she would be upset, Jiang Yuwei smiled and pushed Ning Huaizhi's wheelchair into the house.
"Huaizhi, the matter of the shop is in the past. I don't take it to heart. Tomorrow I will go to the Sun Mansion and ask Mr. Sun to help me sell the shop, and then return the money used to buy the shop to the members."
Ning Huaizhi nodded in agreement after hearing this and said with a smile:
"Well, I hope you can think positively."
Jiang Yuwei and Ning Huaizhi talked for a while and then went back to their rooms to sleep.
next day
Jiang Yuwei got up early in the morning and took Aunt Zhou's ox cart to the town. Ning Wu sent Jiang Yuwei to the gate of Sun's house, and agreed to pick Jiang Yuwei up in the afternoon before leaving.
As soon as Jiang Yuwei entered the house, she was taken to the lobby by the Sun family. Chuntao, who came to serve tea, saw that the visitor was Jiang Yuwei, and hurriedly ran to Madam Sun to report the news.
Jiang Yuwei finished a pot of tea before Mr. Sun came out in a hurry.
After not seeing him for a few days, Mr. Sun has lost a lot of weight and has a lot more white hair.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei hurriedly stood up and saluted:
"Brother, you have lost a lot of weight. You should pay more attention to your health."
Mr. Sun waved his hand to signal Jiang Yuwei to sit down.
"I'm fine, Yuwei, how come you have time to come here today?"
Jiang Yuwei looked at Mr. Sun and said:
"I came here today because I really want to ask you for help. My shop went bankrupt yesterday, and now that the world is in turmoil, I don't want to keep it open anymore, so I thought I'd ask my second brother if he has any connections to help me buy the shop."
Sun Yuanwai was shocked when he heard this:
"How could a fire break out in such a good shop? Is anyone injured?"
Before Jiang Yuwei could speak, she heard Madam Sun coming in from outside and said in a weird tone:
"Oh, I told you long ago that you are not cut out for business. Look, you insisted on hitting your head against the wall, and in the end, even God didn't help you! Humph, it's really a waste of all the help my master gave you before."
