"What's the matter?" Shen Shan and Dong Yao looked at her simultaneously.
Shen Qinglan said, "It's just... I bought a house in town."
"What? You bought a house in town?" Dong Yao was shocked.
Shen Shan frowned and asked, "The house in town costs at least several hundred taels. Where did you get that much money?"
Shen Qinglan sat down next to Dong Yao and explained, "The house was originally owned by Shopkeeper Tang, but since his wife and children live in the prefecture, and he has new accommodations, the house is empty now. When he heard I wanted to buy a house, he sold it to me cheaply."
"How much was it?" Shen Shan asked.
Shen Qinglan said without a hint of embarrassment, "Not much, just two hundred taels. I can pay it back by working at Shengxiang Restaurant for two years."
"Two hundred taels? How big is that house?"
Although Dong Yao and Shen Shan are genuine farmers, they do know that houses in town are not cheap.
