C20. Happy Pulse.

Chapter 20

Li shi had probably had enough of putting up with the family's antics, as she quickly listed several instances where they had taken advantage of her family, which infuriated Fang shi.

"No wonder they are able to do such things as seducing someone else's fiancé, it seems like stealing has become a habit for them!"

"Mother..." Song Dingxiang pushed Fang shi, saying, "The Xu family is not much better, but I am glad I didn't marry into that family. Zhou Ge is really nice, can we just not mention this incident in the future?"

"I didn't say Zhou Yinuo not nice...alright, let's not mention it anymore." Fang shi didn't want to upset her son-in-law, so she quickly changed the subject.

As they were chatting, they heard voices at the door. Fang shi quickly got off the kang bed and said, "The child's father is back."

Twelveth Aunt picked up the basket and smiled, saying, "It's been quite a while since we've been talking; let's not keep you busy. We should go back too." After saying goodbye, they ushered Song Xingyi inside and went back home.

Song Xingyi was very happy, he took a sip of hot water and exclaimed, "Is there any food left? I didn't have a meal throughout this journey." The three daughters quickly went to prepare the meal, while Fang shi and Zhang shi took off their husbands' outer coats and went outside to shake them before hanging them on the coat rack.

"Dad, how did it go?" Song Zhixuan sent off his twelfth brother and came back, "Did you buy it?"

Song Xingyi laughed heartily, pulled out a paper with a red stamp from his pocket, and handed it to Song Dingxiang, saying, "I bought it, it's a pretty good shopfront. Although it's only one floor, the location is good, and there is a courtyard at the back. The best part is that there is a well in the courtyard, which is very convenient. Besides the well, there is also a large persimmon tree that seems to be quite old. I believe that with the persimmon tree, everything will go smoothly. Who knew it would turn out so well."

Song Dingxiang looked at the deed in a daze and asked, "Dad, why is it in my name?"

Song Xingyi glanced at Zhou Yinuo and said, "Why, didn't you tell your wife?"

Zhou Yinuo scratched his head, smiled at Song Dingxiang, and said, "As part of your dowry, I will be away for who knows how many years, you don't want to build a house, or buy land, so having a shop in your name is great."

Song Dingxiang was surprised that Zhou Yinuo had given her the shop, and was left speechless.

Song Xingyi patted Zhou Yinuo on the shoulder and said, "You are a good child, and our Song family will not let you down. But remember, no matter how far you go, you must remember to come back home."

Zhou Yinuo nodded vigorously.

This shop cost over one hundred and sixty-two taels inside and out, and Zhou Yinuo's original silver was not enough, so Song Xingyi dipped into his own pocket and helped to make up the shortfall. After buying the shop, they arranged for it to be rented out to a dental practice.

After finishing these matters, the three of them hurriedly made their way back home, a round trip taking several hours and leaving them quite tired.

"I asked, and this shop can be rented out for one tael of silver per month. It's only in the town that you can find such a cheap shop; if you go to the county town, you won't be able to get one for less than three to four hundred taels. It's also fortunate that our second niece is lucky." Song Xingyi felt delighted that they had acquired a shop and couldn't stop smiling.

Song Dingxiang held onto the deed and looked at Zhou Yinuo with eyes full of gratitude. Zhou Yinuo blushed under her gaze and quickly said, "I'm going to check on the cows, they must be tired, I'll go feed them some hay." With that, he ran outside.
