Chapter 21 Renting a house for temporary residence

After making up his mind, the second room wanted to sell the beads he received.

Xiang Lihua hurriedly stopped her.

"Silly second brother!" She dragged him back, "What dad gave me seems to be a good thing. How much can this small place be sold for? Listen to me, let's go to Fucheng and sell it there."

Xie Erzhu felt that Fucheng was too far away.

He was afraid of going to such a far place.

"Third brother and sister, is the capital city too far away? I think the county is also very good. There are many wealthy families. If they are willing to buy it, we won't have to worry about the settlement expenses."

He didn't think such a small bead could be sold for much silver.

I just feel that enough money to rent a house during this period is enough.

Xiang Lihua: "Second brother, what are you talking about? I think this thing of ours is better than what the gentleman in the county wears! Such a good thing must go to the government to sell it for money! If you want to go to the county, Go, our family is going to Fucheng anyway.”

She is not afraid of parting ways.

But the second room is afraid.

They were feeling unsure. As soon as they heard that their brother and sister-in-law were going to leave them, they immediately compromised: "In that case, then, just follow what you said, brother and sister, and just go to Fucheng. But... our family doesn't have... nothing." Silver, please, third brother and sister, can you lend me some money first?”

Previously, the old lady was very strict with money management.

Under her jurisdiction, Erfang has accumulated a total of about twenty copper coins on hand over the years.

Extremely shabby.

Being aggressive towards pear blossoms is not heartless.

After hearing this, he took out a silver dime and handed it to Xie Erzhu: "Second brother, you can spend it first, and then you can pay it back to me when you have money after selling it."

"Thank you...three brothers and sisters."

Xie Erzhu had money on hand and felt more at ease.

Not as panicked as before.

"Then let's pack up and set off soon? Let's go to the county to settle our luggage first, and then go to Fucheng to sell the item."

"His father and I just bought a donkey cart. After a while, my father and his luggage were riding in the cart, and we young ones were walking. Second brother and sister-in-law, what do you think?"

They feel good about it.

The second-bedroom couple didn't know when they bought the donkey cart, but having a car would make it much easier for them.

After everything was agreed upon, the two families bought some dry food and a few bamboo tubes for water.

Enough for them to eat all the way to the county.

The adults are busy working in the fields all day long and have no time to come out. They don't know the situation in the county. However, Xie Lingjiao, who often takes her sisters and brothers to laze around, knows this place very well.

For example, which inn is clean and comfortable, which snacks are delicious, etc.

She knows it all.

But other than that, her mother didn't know anything about it again.

Xiang Lihua: "..."

never mind.

She turned around and asked about her youngest son Xie Chi.

Compared to my daughter, my son is calm and reliable.

No, her son could answer any question she asked, saving her a lot of time.

At first, Xiang Lihua wanted to find an inn and leave the children in the county to take care of their luggage. Who would have thought that inns in the county are much more expensive than in the town, and she would feel uncomfortable even if they only have one room.

Xie Lingjiao wanted to go to Fucheng with her mother.

I have money in my pocket and I don’t intend to take it out.

"Mom, we are already here anyway, let's go to Fucheng together. I haven't been to Fucheng yet! Mom~~~I want to go~~"

My daughter can act coquettishly.

Xiang Lihua felt soft-hearted for a moment.

But she soon cooled down and said, "No, you just stay in the county. I'll take you there again when I get a chance."

The capital city is far away.

There are too many people and it is inconvenient to go out.

Xiang Lihua: "Be good and be obedient. Your father and second uncle will also be here to accompany you."

“Mother~~~”

Xie Lingjiao still wanted to struggle.

But her mother had already made up her mind not to let her go, no matter how coquettishly she begged, it was of no use.

"Dad~~~" Xie Lingjiao turned to look for her father again.

Xie Sizhu felt sorry for his daughter and said to his wife: "Otherwise, take me with you..."

Xiang Lihua: "My father, please think carefully. There are many noble people in this city. We are not familiar with each other. If we accidentally bump into someone, can you protect our baby?"

Of course not.

He is just a farmer, so how can he have that kind of power?

Xie Sizhu sighed and gave his daughter a helpless expression.

Huh, if you don’t go, you won’t go!

Xie Lingjiao pursed her lips.

"Dad, Mom, you have to come back early. Remember to bring me a gift!" "Okay, okay, dad will bring it to you! Bring it to you!"

Xie Sizhu responded repeatedly.

After barely finding two rooms in the inn, Xiang Lihua and his wife set out for Fucheng with Xie Erzhu.

They have a lot of luggage.

Mainly, my parents and my second uncle were reluctant to throw away anything, so they took everything with them when they left. If the whole room was opened at once, it would be difficult for them to get around in the room.

Xie Lingjiao discussed with her younger brother: "Xiao Chi, why don't we rent a yard first? Otherwise, it won't be comfortable to stay here all the time."

Xie Chi reminded: "Mom wants to rent a house in the town."

How can there be more food in the town than in the county?

The county is more lively than the town! More gossip!

Xie Lingjiao wants to live in the county town: "We will rent it for a year or two first. If grandpa and the others don't like it, let mom change!"

"Anyway, I have money!"

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

The important thing is the last sentence.

She has money!

Xie Chi stopped trying.

He also wanted his sister to live somewhere she liked.

"Then I will go to the academy tomorrow and ask my brother to go to Yahang together."

"Okay!"

Xie Lingjiao was happy again and smiled: "Then let's have a big meal together and tell Xiao Qi about grandma and Li."

There are many of them, and a big meal costs a lot of money.

I will rent a house to live in later...

Xie Lingjiao gave the purse to her younger brother: "Xiao Chi, help me calculate, are these enough?"

Several hundred taels of silver.

Xie Chi felt that there was still a lot left after spending it.

But whatever his sister asked him to do, he would do it conscientiously.

Xie Chi: "As long as I don't rent a luxurious mansion, I can at least have three hundred taels left over according to your usual spending methods."

There's so much left.

Xie Lingjiao felt relieved upon hearing this.

"Then let's get another room tonight!"

Otherwise, the second aunt, third cousin, sister Xiaocao and her would all live together, and the bed would not be able to fit.

Xie Lingjiao didn't want to sleep on the floor.

I didn't want to sleep on my own bed and let my elders or sisters sleep on the floor, so I spent some money and bought another room with a lot of money.

Sister Xiaocao was worried that Ernie would be too worried to sleep, so she offered to live with Ernie.

In this way, Xie Lingjiao lived with her third cousin.

"That's great, Third Sister!"

Xie Lingjiao was very willing to live with her third sister, holding her hand and running upstairs happily.

Their luggage was still in place.

Hu Youdi opened his mouth, but in the end he called his niece and daughter back without making a sound.

fine.

She moved it twice more and got it up.

Hu Youdi greeted his daughter in a low voice and worked together.

Xie Chi: "Second aunt, don't worry. I just gave the waiter a copper coin. He will help us carry our luggage up."

"This...is like this..."

Hu Youdi had never seen anything like this before, and was a little at a loss for a moment.

Xie Chi: "If Second Auntie is worried, you can just watch from the sidelines. With you here, Grandpa can rest assured."

The old man, who was actually not worried about anything, was silent for a while.

Putting his hand behind his back: "It's from the second brother's family, so I'll trouble you."

"No trouble, no trouble!"

Hu Youdi has been working for the family for so many years, and this is the first time he hears this.

I was a little flattered for a moment.

And for the first time in so many years of living, the old man felt like he was truly the head of the family.
