Chapter 1346 Pretend to Die 34

Chapter 1346 Faking Death 34

Zhang Yichuan forcefully snatched the job of repairing the courtyard house, but Yuanchun also forcefully stuffed 500 yuan into his pocket and said, "If you don't take the money, I'll find someone to repair the house myself."

Zhang Yichuang had no choice but to accept the money.

However, he asked Yuanchun and Jiang Wencheng to live in his house until it was repaired.

Yuanchun agreed readily this time.

She didn't want to live in the school and wanted to go to school as a day student. In the first year after the college entrance examination was resumed, the school's accommodation management was loose, so she could go to school as a day student. However, students taking the college entrance examination in July this year must live in the school for a full year before they can go to school as a day student.

This is also the reason why Yuanchun agreed to live in Zhang Yichuang's house. If she does not apply for day study now, she will have to live in school for a full year.

Zhang Yichuang's house has three main rooms, two east wing rooms, one east ear room, three gatehouses, and a large courtyard.

There is a century-old osmanthus tree in the yard. Its lush branches and leaves cover the entire yard, but the yard does not seem dark but very bright.

The house is fully furnished with furniture and electrical appliances.

Yuanchun saw a large 17-inch color TV in the room.

Zhang Yichuang said, "My grandfather asked someone to buy them from Hong Kong. He bought three in total. He has one, one in the Zhang family's old house, and one at Miao Yunfeng's place.

After Miao Yunfeng became an adult, she did not live with her scumbag father, but lived in a courtyard house that her aunt bought for her before she passed away.

That was the dowry that her aunt prepared for her before she died.

Because the house was small and it was Miao Yunfeng's dowry, Miao Yunzhong did not move in. Only an old servant of the Zhang family lived in the house in the name of Miao Yunfeng's great-aunt to take care of Miao Yunfeng's life.

After Yuanchun finished touring the house, she found that Zhang Yichuang's house was basically fully equipped with electrical appliances, including color TV, washing machine, refrigerator, electric fan, and radio.

Although they are all very backward, in this era, it is not nonsense to say that the money spent on buying a refrigerator can buy a house.

A refrigerator costs two to three thousand yuan.

A small two-story bungalow is not that expensive.

Looking at Jiang Wencheng's stunned expression as he stared at the refrigerator and washing machine, you could tell that this guy was stunned.

Jiang Wencheng clicked his tongue and said, "Zhang Yichuan, your family is really rich. You even have a large color TV, a refrigerator, and a washing machine. I've only seen these things once or twice in department stores."

Zhang Yichuan said, "I'll ask someone to send a set to my father-in-law and mother-in-law next time."

Jiang Wencheng was so scared that he quickly waved his hands, "If you really send it to my parents, they can sleep on it at night, otherwise it might be stolen."

Yuanchun laughed, "It's possible that my parents could do this."

"Of course not. These electrical appliances are worth tens of thousands of yuan, and there are no households worth tens of thousands of yuan in Haicheng."

If someone is brave enough to steal money and kill people, wouldn’t his parents be in trouble?

When he thought of the possibility of that happening, Jiang Wencheng was frightened and warned Zhang Yichuang seriously, "Brother-in-law, please don't buy it for my family. We are just an ordinary family and can't use such expensive appliances. If we really get one, my parents will be so scared that they won't be able to sleep."

Since his brother-in-law said so, how could Zhang Yichuang dare to buy it?

On the second day after moving in, the Zhang family transferred in two women, one old and one young. They were a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The husband's surname was Zhao, and Zhang Yichuang called them Grandma Zhao and Aunt Zhao.

After entrusting Xiaoyu to the care of Grandma Zhao, Yuanchun, Jiang Wencheng and Zhang Yichuang went to the Imperial Capital University to report and went through the procedures for day study.

Since it was the first day for freshmen to report, there were not many students in the school. The three of them arrived early and the procedures were completed quickly. In less than an hour, the three of them were out of the school.

The three of them went to a nearby supply and marketing cooperative, bought some necessary items for study, and then returned home.

Aunt Zhao had returned from shopping for groceries and was sitting by the well in the yard washing cabbage.

Yuanchun walked over to help, and Aunt Zhao quickly said respectfully, "Miss Jiang, don't get involved. You don't need to do these rough jobs. You are a scholar. If you feel bored, read more books. My mother-in-law and I will do the housework. You don't need to worry about it."

Seeing her attitude of "Don't steal my job", Yuanchun smiled awkwardly and said, "Then I'll go read a book."

"Yes, when the meal is ready, I will call Miss Jiang to eat."

"Aunt Zhao, don't call me Miss. Call me Yuanchun instead."

"That won't do, Master..." There is a difference between master and servant, but Aunt Zhao didn't dare to say it out loud. She cautiously glanced outside the courtyard wall and changed her words, "Then can I call you Comrade Jiang?"

"it is good."

Yuanchun returned to the west room.

Zhang Yichuang lives in the east room, she and Xiaoyu live in the west room, Jiang Wencheng lives in the east wing, and there is another east wing room which is a guest room. The east ear room is a study, and for the time being, the three of them live together.

The Zhao family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law live in the gatehouse.

The kitchen and dining room are also in the concierge.

The toilet is in the backyard.

There was a small pond dug in the backyard, in which a few lotus roots were planted and a group of edible fish were raised. There was a small pavilion beside the pond. Yuanchun took a book of miscellaneous notes and sat in the pavilion to read it.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Zhang Yichuang and Jiang Wencheng were sitting by the pond fishing. Xiaoyu was squatting beside them, staring at the fish swimming around in the pond, drooling greedily.

Before Aunt Zhao came over to call for dinner, Zhang Yichuang finally caught a grass carp weighing more than three kilograms.

Jiang Wencheng said with a smile, "We can have braised fish tonight."

Xiaoyu excitedly used all her strength to carry the bucket of fish and walked towards the kitchen, "Grandma Zhao, cook fish. Cook fish."

Zhang Yichuan raised the corner of his lips, bent down to pick up Xiaoyu, and used his free hand to pick up the bucket, and said, "Xiaoyu, do you want to eat fish for lunch?"

"Want to eat."

"Okay, let's do it at noon."

When they got to the well, Zhang Yichuang quickly killed the fish, scaled it, chopped it into pieces, and took it to the kitchen for Aunt Zhao to braise it.

Aunt Zhao smiled and said, "Master, if you want to eat fish, tell me earlier next time and I'll go get it."

"Aunt Zhao, fishing is also a kind of fun. You can't deprive me of this fun."

"Okay, then Aunt Zhao will make you a plate of fried fish fillets and a plate of braised fish fillets. I wonder what flavors Miss Jiang and Master Jiang like to eat?"

"Yuanchun and my eldest brother-in-law are not picky, just do as you like."

When Zhang Yichuan walked to the kitchen door, he reminded again, "Leave one portion out, and don't put chili in it, Xiaoyu can't eat spicy food."

"I understand, Master."

Aunt Zhao cooks very quickly, and in less than ten minutes, a portion of fried fish fillet was on the table.

Five minutes later, a plate of braised fish fillets was served.

Aunt Zhao said, "I'll make you a vermicelli fish head tonight. That's really delicious."

"Thank you, Aunt Zhao," Yuanchun asked. "Aunt Zhao and Grandma Zhao, please come and eat with us."

"No need, you guys eat yours and don't have to wait for us. We'll eat in the kitchen." Aunt Zhao said and hurried out.

Zhang Yichuan explained to Yuanchun in a low voice, "The Zhao family used to be the Zhang family's servants. They had been slaves of the Zhang family for generations. They had signed a death contract, but later the slavery system was abolished and the contract was burned. However, the Zhao family refused to leave the Zhang family and continued to work for the Zhang family as relatives."

"My grandfather was so grateful to the Zhao family that he arranged for all the men in the Zhao family to work at Zhang's Roast Duck Restaurant and they became state employees."
