151 Going to Town

Wang Chuanfu spat out a mouthful of water. “Mother, we have a house and shop in town now???”

Wang Chuanyuan muttered, “Are we really real estate owners?”

Buying a house and a shop was something they had never even thought about.

The grandchildren did not feel anything yet. They only felt that their family had become rich.

However, it was only a vague concept to them because they still ate the same food every day.

Oh, there was the matter of selling candied haws.

Old Madam Wang kept the money from their candied haws business, saying that she wanted to save it for their marriage.

Therefore, the children did not have any money on hand. Sometimes, Old Madam Wang would give each of them a few copper coins as pocket money.

Old Madam Wang could not be bothered to argue with them. “Deal with the matters at home in the next two days and discuss a plan to see who will be going to town to study and who will be staying at home.”

Wang Dalang had to remain at home. He was an adult now and the matter with Grandma Zhou had been resolved. At this time, he had to start looking for a suitable girl to marry.

The current Wang Family was very different from before. Ordinary families were naturally not worthy of them.

However, Old Madam Wang did not care about this. As long as the girl’s family had good character, it did not matter if their family was poor or rich.

However, their threshold was a little higher now and they could block the bad matchmakers to prevent a headache.

At the very least, people like Grandma Zhou had to consider their positions carefully now.

In addition, they also had to make peace with Old Master Hu. Although they had paid their tuition fees, it was still a little offensive to change teachers halfway.

Old Madam Wang personally went to tell Old Master Hu and even specially said, “We specially bought a bigger house in town and left a guest room. When the time comes, whenever someone from the village goes to town to do something and can’t make it back to the village in time, they can come to our place to stay.

If the kids here become successful in the future and want to go out to take the Imperial Examination, they can also have a place to stay.”

The Imperial Examination was divided into three rounds. There was also an exam venue in the town. At that time, those students would have to remain in town for a few days to take the examination and it would naturally be best if they had a place to stay.

Old Master Hu was not unreasonable. He naturally hoped that the children in the village would do well.

“I’m already old. Otherwise, I really want to bring all the children out from the village. Now that I’m old and in low spirits, it’s naturally better to send them to school in town.

Your Wang Family knows gratitude and I’ve always remembered this. Don’t worry, if the children can adapt, let them go to the town and study. The teachers over there have been teaching subjects targeted at the Imperial Examination all year round. They should know how to deal with the Imperial Examination better than me.”

In order to show that he really did not care, Old Master Hu even donated several books, planning to give them to the Wang family’s children to read.

“Ah Yu is a good child. It’s a pity that she’s a girl. Otherwise, if she went to take the Imperial Examination, she might be the youngest among the Elementary Scholars.” At the mention of Little Ah Yu, Old Master Hu felt a wave of regret. “She’s a very smart child. In the end, she suffered a loss because she’s a girl.”

Old Madam Wang smiled. “There’s nothing bad about being a girl. It’s not a loss. The Imperial Examination is not an easy path, but it’s not bad for her to learn some knowledge and enrich her heart.”

Old Master Hu also laughed.

If not for this old lady, the Wang family would probably not have been able to stand up.

Although Old Madam Wang was valiant in her actions, he could not find any major mistakes in her actions. Of course, there was no need to talk about how she treated the villagers.

Although the broom she used to hit people was always raised very high, she had never uttered a word of refusal when it came to helping the villagers.

Old Master Hu felt that if he formed a good relationship with the Wang Family early, it might really be able to benefit the Hu Family Village in the future.

Village Chief Hu thought so too.

After learning that the Wang Family had bought a house and shop, Village Chief Hu smiled until his face wrinkled. He was not unhappy at all.

“You can be considered the first in our village to crawl out of poverty. This is a good lead. Perhaps our village will slowly rise in the future.”

Ever since the incident with the divine rain, the villagers of Hu Family Village thought that they were people favored by the gods. They were more confident in their work and had more expectations for life.

At the same time, they were also afraid of being abandoned by the gods, so they acted more kindly.

Legend had it that there were many cases of people being abandoned by the gods after getting carried away. With the examples of such legends, they would naturally not follow similar footsteps.

When Doctor Hu learned that Little Ah Yu was also going to town, he felt that it was a pity.

“Ah Yu is very talented. She recognizes herbs very quickly. The truffle and Paris polyphylla were both found by Ah Yu. I thought that she was fated with medicine and wanted to take her in as a little disciple.” Doctor Hu felt a little regretful.

Compared to studious women who could not take the Imperial Examination, female doctors had it easier.

In the eyes of the nobles, a doctor was a relatively lowly profession and belonged to the service sector.

However, in the eyes of the poor, being a doctor was an incomparably noble profession. Even if she was just a little medicine girl beside a doctor, everyone would still respect her.

Doctor Hu had come to Old man Wang’s house to congratulate him, so Old man Wang’s family heard his words.

Liu Shi said, “It’s a little tough to study medicine. She’ll still have to go to the mountain to pick herbs. Ah Yu is a girl, so I’m a little worried.”

“That’s true, but the child is still young now. She doesn’t even know what she wants to do. Let’s talk about it when she’s a little older. When she starts attending the private school and learns more and broadens her horizons, she’ll naturally know how to choose.” Old Madam Wang didn’t say that she couldn’t, nor did she say that she could. She only left an ambiguous sentence.

Doctor Hu did not force her. There were many people who wanted to become his disciple. He just saw a good seedling. It was a pity.

There was still one thing that the Wang Family had to deal with, and that was Divine Doctor Xue.

Now, everyone tacitly agreed that Divine Doctor Xue’s brain was in flux.

This was because occasionally, Divine Doctor Xue would look like a normal person and speak quite methodically, especially regarding knowledge related to medicine. Divine Doctor Xue could speak logically.

Doctor Hu had even debated medicine with Divine Doctor Xue before. If not for Divine Doctor Xue suddenly going crazy again, Doctor Hu might have lost.

Because most of the time, he was crazy and used a wooden stick as a dog-beating stick. From time to time, he would chase after the dogs in the village. Everyone was also curious about Divine Doctor Xue’s once mysterious ability.

Since he looked so unreliable, how could he cure Old man Wang and Wang Chuangui?

However, they did not find anything special and could only give up regretfully.

Old Madam Wang decided to send Divine Doctor Xue back to wherever she found him.

Back then, she had picked up Divine Doctor Xue from an abandoned village nearby. Divine Physician Xue’s condition was even more haggard than now.

When Old Madam Wang left with Divine Doctor Xue, Little Ah Yu also went to look for Qin Huai and told him that her family was moving to town.

Qin Huai was still a little stunned when he heard this news. “Moving to the town? Why did you suddenly-”

He stopped halfway. Ah Yu was going to the town, but it didn’t seem to have anything to do with him.

However, when he thought about it, he’d finally built a house here with much difficulty, and even bought new furniture, but the little girl was about to leave.

Qin Huai did not feel that he had wasted his money, but this sudden change shocked him.

When did the Wang family become so bold? It had only been a few days, but they had already bought a house.
