Chapter 544: Accident at the Riverbank
Aunt Xiao patted her hands and said, "Your child is kind-hearted. I'm just afraid that she will have other ideas. Let's wait and see!"
Xia Wanniang discovered a drawback in the northwest. She didn't know if it was because the population was too small before, but no one could buy anything here.
Not to mention buying people, there is no brokerage firm to buy and sell land.
It was Qiu He who asked his subordinates to help manage this farm, otherwise there is no telling what it would have become.
When I saw Grandma Yu again, she was in better condition than before.
He was not restrained when standing in front of Xia Wanniang, but he did not speak.
Xia Wanniang looked at the old woman in front of her and said, "Grandma Yu, long time no see."
Grandma Yu looked at the sitting woman with some surprise. She was very beautiful and had a good temperament. She would definitely remember her if she had seen her before.
But she had clearly never seen this person before, so how could it have been so long?
Xia Wanniang saw through her confusion and said, "I have stayed at your house before."
Grandma Yu frowned. For such a long time, there was only one man staying in her house. When did it become a woman? "Madam, did you recognize the wrong person?"
Xia Wanniang smiled and shook her head: "In your previous home, the kitchen was outside the house, and there was only one room for people to live in. The beds inside were made of wood and stones."
Grandma Yu didn't believe it, it seemed impossible: "You..."
"I just used some disguise skills to make it easier to go out. I haven't thanked you for taking me in for a night." Xia Wanniang smiled and asked her to sit down and talk.
Grandma Yu: "If you want to leave, just leave. Why do you leave so many things for me?"
Xia Wanniang smiled and said, "It makes no sense to not pay for the accommodation. I can't eat and drink for free."
Grandma Yu: "You are the only one who would be willing to stay here in my shabby yard."
Xia Wanniang just smiled and said, "Grandma Yu, I came to you today because I want to ask your opinion on something."
Grandma Yu sat up straight: "Ask."
Xia Wanniang: "My Zilin said you have experience in growing grapes."
Grandma Yu: "I can't say I have experience, I just planted it in the yard when I was young."
Xia Wanniang nodded: "My mother and you get along very well, and she wants me to ask you if you are willing to follow us."
Grandma Yu waved her hand without thinking: "No, I'm used to living in the village. Now I live in a blue brick house, I have fields, and I can come to work for you. It's already very good."
Xia Wanniang smiled and nodded: "Do you still teach children to read now?"
Grandma Yu nodded and said, "Yes, as long as the children want to learn, I will teach them."
Xia Wanniang: "Grandma Yu, we won't be here for long. I haven't found a suitable person to help me look after the vineyard yet. Can you help me? Money is not a problem."
Grandma Yu smiled and waved her hand: "You've given enough money. We all want to take good care of the vineyard, so that our economic income will increase, right?"
Xia Wanniang: "How about this, I have a study in my yard with many books in it. If you are willing, you can bring your children and villagers here to read."
Grandma Yu waved her hands quickly: "How can we do that? Books are expensive. If they are damaged, I'm afraid we can't afford the compensation."
"You don't have to pay compensation, but in exchange, you need to help clean the farm after we leave. Do you think this is okay?" Xia Wanniang put forward her conditions.
When Grandma Yu heard this, she was immediately happy. These books are so precious to the children, and it would be a good thing for them to read more.
"Okay, thank you ma'am."
Xia Wanniang asked Chai Song to send Grandma Yu out of the farm.
Aunt Xiao came out and watched her leave: "She's a good person, but her fate is unfair."
Xia Wanniang asked Qiu He to investigate the matter of Grandma Yu. Grandma Yu's family was exiled to the northwest, and she later married Grandpa Yu.
Grandpa Yu always wanted to join the army, so when the child was three years old, he left the mother and son and went to the military camp. At that time, the border was in constant turmoil and small-scale battles often occurred.
He died in battle in the fifth year of his military service, but left her a pension. She used the pension to raise her son and wanted to give him a wife.
As a result, this man also joined the army without saying a word until she received the news that her son had died in the war and his pension.
Her family member fell ill, and she gave the pension to them, but they still couldn't be saved.
Hawks screamed in the sky.
Lai Fu pricked up his ears and listened: there was an accident on the riverbank.
