Liu Mo slipped into his room sneakily. Liu Mo quickly closed the door, then quickly ran into the corner of the room. Finally, he took out the black iron dagger from his arms and carefully placed it in the cabinet.
Su Xiaowan still saw what happened today, and Liu Mo was in a bad mood.
With a long sigh, he fell down on the bed and slumped down. The morning rush made him a little tired both physically and mentally.
"Husband, are you back?" In a daze, a knock on the door suddenly came.
After opening his blurry eyes, Liu Mo got off the bed, opened the door, looked at Xin'er standing outside the door, and asked with a smile: "Xin'er, what's the matter?"
"Old Mrs. Zhou was looking for you this morning," Xiner said, "Where have you been?"
"I went to the county government office." Liu Mo had no choice but to lie.
Looking at Xin'er's belly, the previous unhappiness immediately disappeared. "Why don't you take a good rest and you're still running around?"
Xin'er's smile faded slightly, her eyes fixed on Liu Mo, and she said, "As a father, you don't know anything. The doctor said you have to move around every day!"
Liu Mo smiled slightly, shook his head, and pursed his thin lips into a somewhat embarrassing line: "I'm not careful enough."
"Humph," Xin'er pretended to be angry, and then took out a letter, "This is what a person who calls himself Yang Yizhi asked me to give it to you."
This... Liu Mo frowned.
"Did he say anything else?" He adjusted his mood and took the letter, asking softly.
"No, he said it was written in the letter, and you will know it as soon as you read it, husband."
"Did the letter come to you personally, or did it?"
"Give it to Xiao Qizi!" Xin'er said, "At that time, Sister Lin went out with Mrs. Zhou and was not in the store, so Xiao Qizi gave me the letter."
"I know, you go and have a rest first!"
Xin'er pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but when she saw Liu Mo's serious look, she turned and left.
Close the door and window, sit back on the bed, and open the letter.
As expected, Liu Mo read this letter over and over again, but he didn't see any "problems".
The content was very simple, it was nothing more than that he was leaving Rongcheng to "perform" and asked Liu Mo to take care of Su Xiaowan.
Not a word was mentioned about making a "self-defense dagger" for Su Xiaowan!
What is this guy doing?
"Take care of...self-defense..."
After closing his eyes and thinking for a moment, Liu Mo chose to burn the letter.
No matter what, Su Xiaowan helped me. Putting aside the relationship with Yang Yizhi, I should take care of her both emotionally and rationally.
He can't do anything else, but personal safety can indeed be guaranteed.
After making up his mind, Liu Mo immediately went out and went to the Zhongyuan Escort Agency in Rongcheng, asking for protection from his escort.
At noon that day, after inviting the old lady to taste the most famous combination of skewers, beer and fried chicken at "Jingshui Pavilion", Liu Mo and Lin Shiqi took her to play in Rongcheng for an afternoon.
Originally, he wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to spend a few more days with the old lady.
However, that night, Mrs. Zhou proposed to return to Linyang the next day.
Even though Lin Shiqi tried to persuade her to stay, the old lady had already decided to leave, so Liu Mo had no choice but to let her go.
On the afternoon of the second day after seeing Old Mrs. Zhou away, Zhou Lijie sent his men to deliver a cash box and handed him a receipt for him to sign for it.
When he opened the cash box and took a look, Liu Mo's eyes suddenly lit up.
There are a total of fifteen thousand taels of silver notes inside...
Last autumn, when he returned to Rongcheng again, he brought four thousand taels of silver with him.
Unexpectedly, in less than half a year, the total assets quadrupled!
Moreover, this is only the down payment. Every month after that, according to the contract, the Zhou family has to send a loan.
Finally becoming a "rich man" through his own efforts, Liu Mo felt very good.
The family used to live in "Jingshui Pavilion". On the one hand, it was convenient for work, and on the other hand, it was "poor!"
Now that he is rich and Xiao Qizi can be independent, it makes sense to buy a "villa" in Rongcheng and make a home for himself!
No ink marks, just do it.
The next day after getting the banknote, Liu Mo happily took Lin Shiqi to start "looking at the house".
"Jingshui Pavilion" is located in the west of Rongcheng. If you want to buy a house, you must buy in the west of the city.
However, after looking at about a dozen suites, I still couldn't make a decision.
It turns out that Lin Shiqi is not only a "workaholic", but also a "good wife" who is well-managed and thrifty.
There are also suitable houses, but the price has never satisfied Lin Shiqi.
The housing prices in Rongcheng are almost the same as those in quasi-first-tier cities on earth. The most expensive mansion in the "downtown area" is about 10,000 taels. Those in slightly worse locations will cost around 6,000 taels.
Although Liu Mo has repeatedly said that we are now "rich" and even buying a big house worth 10,000 taels is more than enough. In life, people only have a few basic necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation, so there is no need to be too frugal.
But Lin Shiqi still had her persistence, and things kept dragging on like this.
It wasn't until a few days later that Liu Mo and Lin Shiqi went to view the house again. The seller had no choice but to tell them: "Mr. Liu, there is a house. The price is easy to negotiate, but it is a bit 'unlucky'."
"It can't be a 'ghost house', right?" Liu Mo asked curiously.
"No matter how brave I am, I will never sell my 'ghost house' to Mr. Liu!"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Shiqi's curiosity was aroused.
After asking again and again, the other party kept hesitating and finally said, "How about you two, let's read it first and then talk about it?"
Liu Mo agreed immediately and followed the other party to find out what was going on. What kind of "haunted house" is it?
Upon entering the courtyard, Zhongyi's house is located on Linhe Street in Rongcheng.
The water on the river is clear and clear. The boat makes the sound of oars. It sails lightly among the weeping willows. The wind rolls up the remaining leaves nearby, and then swirls and falls on the water, drifting into the distance with the waves.
There are wide streets and narrow lanes, long bluestone steps, and wooden bridges spanning the slightly narrow river. Looking far away, there is a banquet in the teahouse and the fragrance of the wine shop.
To put it simply, the location is great!
The two of them came to the house with the same curiosity.
This house has a standard five entrances and five exits: door, screen wall, reverse side room, hanging flower door, hand-painted verandah, east wing, west wing, courtyard, wing room, main room, and back room. Everything you need!
When you walk into the gate, you will see a gray brick road pointing directly to the hall. The hall door has four dark red doors, with the two middle doors slightly open. The diamond-patterned wooden windows on the side corridor are open, making it clean and bright.
There are wicker chairs and a wicker table in front of the corridor. Three feet away from the wicker table, there are thick flowers and plants.
A garden was built behind the house, complete with towers, pavilions, rockeries, trees, and flowers.
After looking at the house, Liu Mo couldn't help but wonder: "This house is incredible, but my husband and I have seen many similar houses before! We can't agree on the price!"
The seller of the house smiled and bowed again, "Mr. Liu, the price of this house is determined to satisfy you both. But..."
"Speak directly if you have something to say, don't beat around the bush!" Liu Mo said.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The merchant nodded repeatedly, "This house is 'unlucky'! Because it is the residence of the county magistrate!"
"Fuck..."
