331: Chapter 331: How Much Favor is Owed

Wufu invited Xiao Li to sit down and had Hongyu serve tea.

“The house is modest, and we don’t have any fine tea,” Wufu said with a smile.

Xiao Li chuckled and replied, “Miss, you jest.

As a re servant, how could I distinguish the quality of tea?

Even plain water would not be scoffed at.”

“There’s no need for self-deprecation in my presence.

You are Ninth Master’s favored attendant; what haven’t you seen of the finer things?” Wufu gently chided, deducing from Ah Jiu’s deanor that he must be the son of a significant household.

Servants from such families would certainly not lack discernnt, would they?

Xiao Li grinned broadly, “Miss, you flatter !”

Wufu smiled, then spoke earnestly, “In fact, I have a request to ask of Ninth Master.

Please listen and relay the ssage for .”

“Please speak, Miss.”

Wufu glanced around her humble ho and said, “It’s nothing else but that.

My family needs to move out of here; we are thinking of relocating to the county town.

Since we’ve made the decision in haste, we haven’t found a suitable house yet.

I heard you’re currently settled in the county?”

Xiao Li nodded, seemingly guessing her intention.

“You’ve been living in the county longer than us.

Could you possibly help

find an interdiary to locate a house?” Wufu asked.

“It’s rather urgent.

We’ll probably need to move there in the next couple of days.”

Xiao Li pondered for a mont before asking, “Does Miss wish to rent or to purchase?”

Wufu calculated the silver she had on hand.

Although it wasn’t quite two thousand taels, it should suffice to buy a place, which would be more convenient.

“If the price is reasonable, buying is an option.

Perhaps several hundred taels?” Not being well-acquainted with the property prices in the county, Wufu added, “We don’t have many people, so there’s no need for a large house.”

She thought since she was in a hurry, there was no guarantee of finding a suitable place on her own, and since she already owed Ah Jiu a favor, what harm would there be in owing one more?

Although Wufu did not understand the rationale behind Ah Jiu’s friendliness, she had nothing to offer in return for any planned solicitation.

If he truly asked for sothing, she’d help if it was within her capacity.

Xiao Li understood and repeated the request.

Wufu then took a silver note and handed it to Liu Jin, asking him to accompany Xiao Li.

Liu Jin had been standing by, listening to the entire conversation.

Thus, Liu Jin left with Xiao Li for the county to look for a house.

Not long after their departure, Zhou Xueli and Lady Liang arrived, holding a wrapped bundle of sothing unknown.

Upon seeing the Zhou family mbers, Wufu wore a displeased expression and stopped them at the door, “What brings you here?”

“Wufu, we’ve co to see how your mother is doing.

Is she well?” Lady Liang asked with apparent concern.

The hostility in Wufu’s eyes softened sowhat, yet she still didn’t let them in.

“Thanks to you, she won’t die.”

She was like a prickly hedgehog, her eyes filled with wariness and animosity for all to see.

Zhou Xueli then held out the bundle, “This is brown sugar, for your mother to regain her strength.” He added, “Wufu, please rest assured and stay as long as you need.

Whatever your uncle says, you don’t have to listen to him.

He wouldn’t truly force you to leave; it’s all talk.

This house was promised by your grandfather for you to live in.

Stay as long as you like.” He didn’t expect his elder brother would actually do such a thing.

Wufu looked at the brown sugar being offered, but did not accept it.

“Unfortunately, he has already co to drive us out.

And we have decided to move away.

So, you don’t need to co here anymore.

My mother is no longer a part of the Zhou family.” And she even less so.

Zhou Xueli’s face changed.

Seeing his uncomfortable expression, Wufu asked further, “Where is Zhou Dajun?

Can you inform ?”

Zhou Xueli’s eyes narrowed as he pursed his lips.

Seeing this, Wufu showed a mocking smile, “Thank you for the brown sugar, but we have no need for it.” With that, she slamd the door shut.
