Chapter 274: Zhuang City

~5 min read 805 words

「Yun chu first thanked his maternal grandfather. 」

「However, Yun chu wanted to look for it himself; if he couldn't find it, he would then trouble his maternal grandfather, but the silver must still be given. 」

Jiang Yunchu smiled and directly brought up the topic.

「Good, deal! 」

Elder Master Zhuang stroked his beard and then answered with a smile.

Jiang Yunchu felt that getting along with the Zhuang clan was very comfortable; they had no ulterior motives, did not try to curry favor, nor did they flatter—whether in speech, manner, or conduct, they displayed the bearing of a respectable family.

「Yun chu, come live with the Zhuang clan. 」

Just then, Madam Zhuang suddenly spoke, looking at Jiang Yunchu with a face full of surprise.

The Zhuang clan, with more yang than yin, among the younger generation, had only one girl: Miaomiao.

In the next generation, there wasn't even a girl.

This also caused the Zhuang clan's elders, when looking at a girl, to have their eyes practically turn into red hearts.

「Maternal grandmother, it's not possible now; I need to conceal my identity. 」

Seeing Madam Zhuang's face darken slightly, Jiang Yunchu said helplessly, 「I'll come visit again in a couple of days; maternal grandmother, please don't dislike Yun chu. 」

Madam Zhuang's face, which had just darkened, instantly showed a hint of a smile.

Both older and younger children need to be coaxed.

One's own maternal grandmother is needed, and the Zhuang clan's maternal grandmother is also needed.

「That's settled then! 」

「At Lao Er's inn, if you need anything, just tell Lao Er; if he doesn't make arrangements for you, come find your maternal grandmother. 」

「Your maternal grandmother will back you up! 」

That final firm remark, from the distant courtyard, made Second Master Zhuang feel a chill down his back, as if something bad had happened.

「Strange. 」

He muttered to himself, leisurely sipping tea and humming a little tune while looking at the scenery of the courtyard.

Inside the room, after everyone finished chatting, Elder Master Zhuang and Madam Zhuang also understood her purpose this time, thinking they should quickly urge their two sons to find out the details.

Just as the door was pushed open, they saw two people squatting on the ground, each with a stalk of grass in their mouth...

「You two are in your forties; what are you like? 」

「Is there anyone who acts as an uncle like you? 」

The old man blew his beard and glared, looking at his two sons; however he looked at them, they were displeasing to the eye.

Zhuang Yan and Zhuang Wei exchanged a glance—what's going on? What happened that made the old man fly off the handle at them?

Their gaze turned toward Jiang Yunchu and Han Bing,

However, neither of their faces showed any expression; Jiang Yunchu blinked her big eyes, carefully observing the two uncles.

How come I suddenly feel that the Zhuang clan's two uncles are less reliable than the Kang clan's two uncles?

I've always thought my own second uncle was quite mischievous, but these two Zhuang uncles are even worse—no shortage of mischief.

「You two! 」 Madam Zhuang also shook her head.

How wronged these two feel—what's wrong with them?

「Kang Yun, I've picked a suitable courtyard and manor; when should we go take a look? 」 Zhuang Wei immediately spoke, ruthlessly throwing his resentful elder brother to the back.

Zhuang Yan took a look—cunning Lao Er!

「I've looked at several plots; although I'm pressing on price, the land is all good—do you want to confirm the location? 」 Zhuang Yan also refused to back down.

Jiang Yunchu felt a mix of laughter and tears.

「Good, courtyard and manor, we'll go check them out tomorrow. 」

「Land……」

Jiang Yunchu calculated in her mind, then lifted her head and said, "I need one thousand mu."

Whether flowers or fruits, they require large areas for cultivation; she dislikes hassle, so deciding once and for all is fine.

As for the silver, she also didn't plan to use Wang Fu's silver.

In Jiangnan, she intends to set up her own enterprise; although Wang Fu has Yue Yue and Mo Mo, don't forget there's also Ning Chengyan!

She certainly doesn't want the fruits of her hard work to end up as someone else's silver.

「More more more……less? 」 Zhuang Yan stared, then suddenly lifted his head to look at Jiang Yunchu.

Jiang Yunchu smiled and said, "One thousand mu is the minimum."

If there's more, she can also handle it.

Large tracts of land are easier to manage and arrange; moreover, in this small town, the Zhuang clan is heaven, with many people relying on the Zhuang clan for their livelihood.

Jiangnan small town, one city, one clan.

And this small town is called Zhuang City.

Although the Zhuang clan doesn't manage the small town, its status is beyond doubt.
