Before the house was raided, the maidservant of the Prime Minister's residence absconded with t

After the meal, everyone dispersed, each lost in their own thoughts. Tao'er helped her father back to their courtyard.

The eldest and second eldest brothers followed behind them.

Neither of the two brothers spoke, but they were wondering whether their father was really their grandmother's biological son.

Seeing that her father remained silent, she did not dare to ask any questions.

Tao'er then asked, "Father, what are you thinking?"

Do you really believe what the old man and the others said?

She didn't believe that just because that old man could point out the location of her father's birthmark, it meant he was their biological son.

It just so happens that Liu Laogen remembered it by chance at that time.

Liu Daniu sighed, shook his head and said, "Tao Yatou, although your father is not smart, I am not so stupid that I can't see through their act!"

Your grandmother even hit your third aunt today; this would have been absolutely unthinkable before.

Tao'er was overjoyed; it turned out her father hadn't been fooled after all!

"Dad, were you acting just now?"

Tao asked with a grin.

"Well, we can't afford to break off relations yet, Peach Girl. After we move out, we, the eldest son's family, need to figure out a way to divide the family property."

Now Dad understands why they treated our eldest son's family this way.

Over the years, my father has worked like a slave, and that's how I repay their kindness in raising me.

From now on, Dad and you will truly be one family.

Liu Daniu said solemnly.

"Father, it's so good that you think that way!"

Tao'er said with a cheerful smile.

The eldest and second eldest brothers also smiled with delight.

Their father finally stopped being that overly filial son.

"Tiezhu, Tiechui, I'm sorry, I wronged you before."

Especially Tiezhu, if it weren't for your father's weakness, Li Erya should have been your wife...

However, after Dad recovers from his injury, he'll go out and do odd jobs to earn money for you to get married.

Liu Daniu looked at his two sons and said.

"Dad, you don't need to earn money. You just need to take good care of Mom. We will earn money to get married ourselves."

Now that my younger sister is back, she'll lead our family to a better life.

"Father, eldest brother is right. You don't need to earn money; you just need to take good care of Mother."

The two brothers spoke one after the other.

"Good, good children, you are all good children."

Peach Girl, from now on you will be in charge of making arrangements at home. We will all cooperate with you and support you.

After we move out, we'll try our best to stay away from the old house.

Let's each go our own way, shall we?

Of his brothers, only the second brother's family was good; the others were all bad.

They are selfish and cunning; it's best to avoid associating with them.

To avoid Tao Yatou getting hurt, since she's too straightforward and easily offends them.

"Okay, we'll listen to Dad. After we move out, we'll close the door and live our own lives."

About fifteen minutes after lunch, Tao'er and her older brother followed Village Chief Chen in an oxcart to Taohua County.

An hour later, they arrived at Peach Blossom County.

Chen Shuigen asked, "Tao Yatou, should we go to the county government office first to get the deed for that wasteland done, or should we go to Li the Rich Man's house first?"

Tao'er thought for a while, "Grandpa Chen, let's go to Li the Rich Man's house first!"

"We can go to the county government together to complete the property transfer procedures at the same time, saving us two trips."

Since the land lease had already been signed and there was no way to escape it, she felt much more at ease after dealing with Li the rich man and buying the Li residence.

Currently, this investment option represents the most ideal residential property.

She could have bought a large courtyard house in the county town, brought her parents and brothers over, and then done some kind of business.

But spending a large sum of money to buy a yard all at once is too conspicuous.

The Liu family will also suspect that she brought back a lot of money, and they will definitely cause trouble.

Most importantly, their eldest son's family hasn't separated from the Liu family yet, and according to the old rules, the money still has to be handed over to the public.

Most importantly, she doesn't want to live in the county town right now, for fear of attracting the attention of the government.

Let's wait a year or two before making a decision!

"Peach Girl, let's go to Li the Rich Man's house first!"

That's what I was thinking too, that way we wouldn't waste so much time.

Chen Shuigen said, then cracked his whip and drove the oxcart to a street.

Finally, we stopped at a house in a fairly wide alley.

The gate was painted vermilion, with two large copper rings hanging on it.

The rooftops were all covered with uniform golden glazed tiles, which shimmered in the sunlight.

There are seven or eight stone steps at the entrance.

Below the stone steps, on the left and right, are two majestic stone lions.

Each stone lion also has a large marble bead in its mouth.

Tao'er clicked her tongue twice in her heart, thinking, "This Li the Rich Man is really a wealthy man!"

As soon as she looked up, she saw the large, gold-plated plaque that still read "Li Residence," but this time the two characters were noticeably more imposing and grand.

It's estimated that they spent a lot of money to have the calligraphy written by famous figures.

"It's collapsed, Peach Girl, this is Li the Rich Man's house."

"You and Tiezhu wait here for a moment, I'll go up and knock on the door."

"Okay, Grandpa Chen, my brother and I will be waiting for you downstairs."

Tao'er nodded.

Chen Shuigen then stepped onto the stone steps, walked to the gate, and tapped the copper ring a few times.

A moment later, the gate opened, and a young man who looked like a servant came out.

After glancing at Chen Shuigen's clothes, he wondered where this poor wretch had come from, probably begging for money again.

So he asked in a disdainful tone, "Where did this old beggar come from? He stinks! Get out of here! We don't have any leftovers."

Chen Shuigen was displeased, but he also knew that even a minor official had to be in the presence of a prime minister, and that the servants in Li's household were also looking down on people and relying on their master's power.

He swallowed his anger and answered politely, "Young man, I am not a beggar, I am not here to ask for food."

I'm here to see Master Li; I have something to discuss with him.

He couldn't mention buying the haunted house because Master Li had instructed him to keep it a secret.

"Hahaha……

You stinking beggar, coming to my master with business? You're kidding me!

I know all the guests my husband usually entertains, so I've never seen anyone like you before.

"Get out of here! Don't come here to freeload. If you keep bothering me, I'll call someone to beat you up!"

The servant remained rude, his face full of mockery.

"you……

How can you talk like that?

I'm just an old man dressed simply, how do I look like a beggar?

Even if you're a beggar, you can't talk like that!

Besides, I'm an old friend of your master Li. Just go and tell him that Chen Shuigen has come to see him urgently.

Chen Shuigen also said somewhat angrily.

"Damn it, this bastard, how can he look down on people like that!"

"Little sister, should we go up and teach him a lesson?"

Liu Tiezhu was furious and turned to ask his sister.

"Big brother is right, this lackey is indeed disgusting!"

However, it's best not to resolve this with force, to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Watch me."

Tao'er strode forward.
