C49 (1/2)

She only said, ”If Little Su thinks it's too expensive, then I have no choice. This place can be sold, but it can't be sold! I'll let my nephew go through the renovations and give it to him as a summer shelter.”

Su Zhi hurriedly shook her head, ”Aunt, that's not what I meant. I want to buy this courtyard, but I can't pay you in full right now. I mean I'll pay you more than half first, then I'll pay you the other half on a monthly basis.”

”Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any losses. How about I give you the interest?” Calculate every month. If the longer I extend, the higher the interest. What do you think? In this way, the silver I need to pay you will far exceed this twelve hundred silver taels.

Auntie Liu had never heard of such a method of settling accounts, but she could only foolishly understand that it was similar to the principle of the bank lending.

However, she saw that Su Zhi was unfamiliar and could not be from Xuan City. If she agreed like this, then something bad might happen.

Just as he was puzzled, a loud noise came from outside. A gentle and low male voice came from the front yard, ”Aunt, your nephew is here to pick you up.”

Auntie Liu was overjoyed, ”My nephew is here!” He quickly went out to receive her.

Su Zhi followed him out. A man dressed in brocade white came from the front yard. He was handsome, handsome, and had a warm and gentle temperament. Wasn't this the same Liu Yu-an who they had met twice in Tranquil Village?!

”Sir Liu!”

She brought her two children along as she quickly went forward and bent their knees to say, ”It's been a few days since we last met, I didn't expect to meet an adult here!”

At first, Liu Yuan didn't notice Su Zhi. However, when she greeted him, his smile was like a flower and his face was filled with gratitude. Only then did he recall that they had met before.

”So it's Lady Su. What a coincidence.”

Su Zhi dragged A Jin and Little Dou and said with a smile, ”Quickly greet the lord.”

A Jin clasped her hands together in greeting, ”Greetings, Sir!”

The small bean bun Yi Yi Wu clearly said, only a general description of the good.

Lady Liu was also quite surprised. ”You two know each other?”

Su Zhi nodded and smiled, ”Thanks to Lord Liu's care, I will never forget this for the rest of my life!”

Liu Yuan smiled. He looked around and said, ”Where's your husband?” Didn't I come with you? ”

When Su Zhi heard this, she withdrew her smile and replied in a low voice, ”My husband died in battle. He was buried in a pile of dirt and bones, and not even his corpse could be found.”

Liu Yuan lost his smile and said apologetically, ”I'm really sorry. I didn't know you …”

”Aiyo, so Little Su had the same experience as me. Why didn't you say so earlier?”

Auntie Liu interjected and told Liu Yu An in detail about how Su Zhi wanted to buy the house. In the end, she even felt a little pity for her.

”Since even my nephew is willing to help, then I won't be so unreasonable. However, according to what you said, I can't give you my contract right now. Xiaosu won't mind, right?”

Su Zhi smiled, ”Auntie Liu is already very grateful to you for agreeing to my request. How could you dare to mind? Furthermore, with Lord Liu as a witness, I am naturally not afraid. After I have paid all the silver, I will definitely get the contract back. ”

Thus, Su Zhi and Auntie Liu signed an agreement to pay eight hundred silver as the first payment. They would wait for the remaining four hundred silver to be paid before they would hand over the room contract.

A portion of the money had to be paid in due time every month, and interest had to be paid until the full amount was paid.

Su Zhi had not expected to be able to buy the yard so smoothly. She was very happy that Liu Yuan could be said to be her lucky star. Even when he met her, he had managed to escape danger and recover from it.

”My lord, this humble woman still owes you twenty taels of silver. I will always remember this. When I earn enough money, I will pay you back double!”

Liu Yuan didn't care. He squatted down and played with the two children.

Su Zhi was still worried that the naughty habit of calling her father, which was seen by the small bean bun, would repeat itself on Lord Liu.

However, it was clear that her worries were unnecessary.

Although the little girl was having fun, she would only call him uncle, not even mentioning his name.

After signing the contract, Liu Yu-an said goodbye to Su Zhi.

Now that she was alone with her two children, she could not help but feel sympathy for them. She repeatedly reminded them not to be in a hurry to return the money.

Su Zhi still asked about the Liu Family's residence so that she could pay off Auntie Liu's room money.

After she finished explaining everything, Su Zhi watched the carriage leave, unable to calm herself down even after a long time.

She was very grateful for Liu Yuan's appearance. He had helped her quite a bit this time.

Although she had spent eight hundred taels of silver, the remaining two hundred taels of silver was enough for her to spend temporarily.

That night, Su Zhi went to 'Flower Mansion' to get some changed clothes, and told Li Yi where she had a place to stay.
