The Valiant Farmgirl's Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug

101 Chapter 101: Closed The Deal On The New House

“The transportation fee is so expensive. It’s better to buy new ones once you reach the county city.”

Just as the woman was about to speak, Qin Xiaoyao continued, “Furthermore, for a courtyard dwelling in the west of the city in this area, this price is not low.”

“This price is close to 250 taels. At this price, I’d rather buy a smaller one. It’s also possible to find a courtyard dwelling near the street ahead.”

“You’re in a hurry to sell too. If you wait any longer, you may not be able to find buyers like us who are genuinely interested.”

!!

The woman fell silent when she heard these words.

Then, she turned to Qin Xiaoyao and said, “If you’re really interested, then the price is 240 taels. Take these things in the house as a gift to you.”

Qin Xiaoyao simply smiled.

“230 taels is our limit. If you find this price agreeable, we’ll pay a deposit of 30 taels of silver today. We’ll come over tomorrow to pay the balance, and then we’ll go to the government office with you to transfer the ownership.”

“You can leave for the county the day after tomorrow at the latest.”

The woman was silent again.

“If you don’t agree to this price, we’ll have to look elsewhere,” Qin Xiaoyao continued.

The woman’s expression changed slightly.

“There’s no rush,” she said.

“How about this? You guys wait for me here for a moment. I’ll go ask the head of the family for his opinion.”

“If he agrees, we’ll sell it.”

“May I ask where that gentleman is?” Qin Xiaoyao asked.

“He’s at the Jade Cloud Pavilion up ahead at the end of the street. I’ll be able to find him once I’m there. It won’t take more than a quarter of an hour,” the woman said hurriedly.

Qin Xiaoyao pretended to look at Song Que.

Song Que nodded.

Only then did the woman heave a sigh of relief.

“Then, Cao An, help me entertain our two guests. I’ll be back soon,” she said to Cao An.

When Cao An nodded his head, the woman then hurriedly went out.

Only after she had left the courtyard did Cao An look at Qin Xiaoyao with a smile.

“Sister Sanya, your bargaining skills are even better than mine!”

Qin Xiaoyao chuckled.

“It’s mainly because I don’t have much money, so I have to save as much as I can.”

Song Que also glanced at Qin Xiaoyao, and the corner of his mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.

Thereafter, the few of them stood in the courtyard dwelling for a while before the woman returned with a middle-aged man.

Cao An made the introductions, and after both parties got to know each other, the middle-aged man readily agreed to the price.

However, he stated that they would take away some things like bedding and only leave behind things like large pieces of furniture and cooking utensils.

Qin Xiaoyao didn’t plan on using someone else’s bedding anyway, so she naturally agreed.

After both parties reached an agreement, they went to the broker to sign the documents and pay the deposit.

They arranged to pay the rest of the money the next day, as well as to transfer the ownership of the house.

After settling all these things, the couple left town and went home.

Along the way, Qin Xiaoyao’s heart was like a little galloping deer that was almost leaping with joy.

She couldn’t resist humming a little tune.

On the handcart, Song Que raised his eyebrows slightly. He was in a good mood as he listened to Qin Xiaoyao humming a tune he had never heard before.

“When the courtyard dwelling is transferred tomorrow, I will go and get Father and my two brothers and ask them to help dig out the cellar,” Qin Xiaoyao suddenly said.

Although she didn’t know why her husband was so insistent on the well and cellar, as long as it was her attractive husband’s request, she would do her best to go along with his demand and satisfy it.

Moreover, having an extra cellar in the house meant having an extra place to store stuff, which was also good!

“We’ll do it ourselves. No need to get other people.” Much to her surprise, Song Que actually rejected her suggestion

“Gosh, it’s really nothing! Father and my brothers will definitely be willing to help!” Qin Xiaoyao said hurriedly.

She thought her attractive husband did not want to trouble his father-in-law and two brothers-in-law.

“I’ll watch over you as you work,” Song Que continued.

Qin Xiaoyao was stunned momentarily.

Then, her chubby face turned red.

“Until the cellar is completed,” Song Que continued.

“Er… Alright then.” After a while, Qin Xiaoyao gave in.

With her attractive husband accompanying her as she worked, even if he was just watching her work from the side, she still felt it was a kind of enjoyment.

Hehe! She suddenly realized that she was a bit masochistic. What was going on?

When Song Que saw this, he turned his head away again, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

“From now on, I’ll follow you into town every day. After you’re done with your work in the morning, we can clean up the courtyard dwelling in the afternoon. We’ll go back to Brook Falls Village in the evening,” he continued.

“Oh, okay,” Qin Xiaoyao answered in agreement.

Hehe… Did this… count as a date with him alone…

...

The next day.

The couple went into town again.

Again they didn’t set up a stall or sell straw sandals. After delivering the goods, they went to the broker’s office.

Then, under the broker’s supervision, they paid the silver and signed a new contract. After that, they went to the government office to file their application and transfer ownership.

As the seller was in a hurry and he offered some silver, the official procedures were completed very quickly.

The handover procedures were all completed before noon.

Qin Xiaoyao was in a great mood when she got the key.

Then, she pushed Song Que back to her new home.

After making sure that the furniture and cooking utensils were all left behind, she finally felt relieved.

She had wanted to buy some groceries back to cook, but realized that the market had already closed by this time.

Qin Xiaoyao simply brought Song Que to a restaurant instead.

...

The couple had a full meal and then returned to their new home and began to make some rearrangements.

Of course, to be more precise, it was Qin Xiaoyao who was doing the rearranging.

Qin Xiaoyao brought Song Que to the largest bedroom and arranged for him to sit down by the desk.

Then she took out a brush, ink, paper, and an inkstone and let Song Que help her record what items needed to be added afterward.

No doubt she had prepared the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone in advance. These were all expensive things, and she did not think that the previous owner would leave these things behind for them.

True to her expectations, all the books and the writing materials in the house were taken away.

All that was left were some bare furniture.

However, it didn’t matter. After all, she was already mentally prepared.

“It’s not good for these bookshelves to be empty. I’ll go buy some paper for book-copying later. After that, you can copy some books on elementary education and put them on the bookshelf. Then, you can also teach Yun’er and Ye’er”, Qin Xiaoyao said as she surveyed the empty bookshelves.

Books were expensive, and it was not worth it to buy them.

Fortunately, her attractive husband had a close relationship with Mr. Wang and often took on copying work from the bookstore.

It was not difficult to borrow some books on elementary education to copy.

In her predecessor’s memory, everyone in the Song family was literate, including Song Ye.

From there, it could be seen that her father-in-law and attractive husband had actually taught the family before.

Earlier, the family’s living conditions were tough, and she was busy making money, so she couldn’t take care of the two children’s education.

After they moved into town, they could not delay the children’s studies anymore. At the very least, she had to let her attractive husband continue to teach the two children.

In any case, her attractive husband had to continue recuperating and had time to teach the two children in their studies.

“Mm-hmm,” Song Que answered in agreement with Qin Xiaoyao’s proposal.

“In that case, I’ll write down the titles of the books. You can go to Cirrus Loft Bookstore later and borrow the books. And buy more paper as well.”

“Alright.”

Only then did Song Que begin writing.

Qin Xiaoyao didn’t look at Song Que again and continued to walk around the room.

After looking around and not finding a single oil lamp, she exclaimed, “Damn! They took the oil lamps with them?”

Song Que raised his head and looked at Qin Xiaoyao.
