The Path of the Peasant Girl

Chapter 25 025 Rent
After a meal, Mrs Wen helped Mrs Hong clean up the dishes, and then the family was arranged to sleep in the west wing.

Because the sleeping environment is relatively stable, several people have a good night's sleep.

The next day, the second daughter-in-law of the Hong family, Huang family, cooked up the chicken soup from yesterday, and then baked a few large steamed buns and tortillas. A few people ate the dishes.

After eating, Zhang Jinwang said: "Cousin, today I will take you to see the homestead, you can go to the village to choose, and then get the house up as soon as possible."

"You can live in the house when you get up, and you can do anything in the future."

Grandpa Qu agrees.

"Okay, then let's go and have a look." Mr. Qu said.

Zhang Jinwang took Mr. Qu, his grandson, grandson, and the writers, and set off into the village.

Along the way, people from the village ran over to greet Zhang Jinwang.

Zhang Jinwang also answered the curiosity and questions of the villagers.

"This is my cousin and his people from the same village, and they will be settled in our village in the future. From now on, everyone will be villagers in the village, and we need to help each other. Please look at my face, help people, and live a good life."

"Village chief, you said, it's your relatives, so if we don't take good care of it, we can rest assured."

"Don't worry, the village chief, we don't have that kind of xenophobic people in our village. We treat people well."

"It's the village chief's cousin. What does the village chief's cousin do?"

When this question was asked, everyone pricked up their ears.

The smile on Zhang Jinwang's face became wider, his chest was raised, and he said loudly, "My cousin is a doctor. If everyone has a headache in the future, or incurable diseases, I can let my cousin take care of it. My cousin's medical skills are made up, and he has practiced medicine for many years. , has cured a lot of diseases, so everyone can no longer go to the town to ask a doctor, and it will be much more convenient to see a doctor in the future."

The villagers were amazed.

"It's really a doctor, that's amazing."

"If there is any disease in the future, you can see it in the village."

"I didn't expect to have a doctor in our village. It's a good thing."

Zhang Jinwang led a group of them forward and looked at three homesteads.

"Cousin, what do you think is good?"

Mr. Qu pondered for a while: "I think the large flat land by the Houshan River is quite good."

Mrs Wen nodded: "That place is good, just a little bit farther from the village. But it only takes a dozen or so steps. We can build a house there and then open a vegetable field."

Zhang Jinwang said with a smile: "That place is really good. If you didn't come, I wouldn't sell that place. I want to wait for my grandson to buy a place to start a house there when he grows up. Family, stay here."

Mr. Qu quickly expressed his thanks: "Then I'll buy two acres. You just said that one acre of homestead is five taels of silver, and I can almost buy two acres."

Zhang Jinwang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll plot the land for you tomorrow, and then I'll send the land to the government for reporting, and I can ask the villagers to work for you."

It is actually very convenient to build a house in the village. The trees and stones are all ready-made at home. Except for asking people to help you spend some money, the rest basically don’t cost much. At most, you can hire people to make furniture, tiles, and spend money.

Zuo Shi's family also bought two acres of land, right next to Mr. Qu's house.

Wen said, "Village chief, it will take a while for us to build this house. Can we find a place to live during this time? Is there any kind of house that can be rented out in the village? We want to rent it for two months."

Building a house is a big deal, and it can’t be saved overnight. They can’t always live in the village chief’s house while they’re building a house.

Not to mention whether the village chief and the village chief's wife are happy or not, they also feel embarrassed and it is inconvenient to live in, but renting a house is different. They can have a certain degree of autonomy when renting a house. 's favor.

Mr. Qu also nodded again and again: "Yes, does my cousin have an empty house?"

"Oh, unfortunately." Zhang Jinwang patted his head angrily, "If only you had come two days earlier, originally there were vacant houses in the village, but people in the village rented it before, and now you have a place to live, just only Can rent in someone's house. Is that okay?"

"Otherwise, cousin, you will live in my house for two months and wait for the new house to be built before moving in."

Mr. Qu hurriedly shook his head: "It's not very good. I'd better move out to live. Anyway, it doesn't cost a lot of money to rent a house, so I can still do it. Going up the mountain to pick up some medicinal herbs to dry, if you stay at your house, it will still affect them."

Zhang Jinwang thought about it and felt that his words made sense. Thinking of his mother-in-law's temper, he could endure it for a day or two, and he would probably have a big fight with him at home in a month or two.

At that time, not only will he not be good, but he will also have to fight with his mother-in-law, so he might as well let his cousin rent it out.

"Thinking about it this way, there are a few families in the village with simple populations. The families are not particularly wealthy, so if you want to rent, I will discuss with them."

"Okay, thank you village chief."

"Thank you cousin."

That's it for renting a house.

A day later, they had chosen a house to rent for them from the moment they entered the palace.

"Widow Zhao from the east of the village is sitting at home with a grandson, so I think Mrs. Wen can take the children to his house. It's 100 big money a month, and I can solve it by myself."

"There is an old man Sun at the west end of the village. He is the only one at home, so my cousin can take Jingming to live there. It is also 100 big money a month, not including food."

100 big money a month, not including meals is also very reasonable.I haven't heard of anyone living in a house, and they can keep it covered for 100 dollars, and don't let people work.

Mr. Qu said: "Okay, thank you cousin, we'll go after we pack up later, and I have to trouble my cousin to take us to the place."

Wen followed the village chief to send Mr. Qu to Mr. Sun's house.

I remembered the door of Sun Laohan's house and said hello to Sun Laohan.

Then Miracle Min followed the village chief to send her family to Widow Zhao's house, and the two families settled down temporarily.

Before leaving, Zhang Jinwang said: "If you have anything, you can come to me, or you can go to your cousin. Although Widow Zhao is sometimes mean to exercise, she is not a bad person in general. It's all hard days. Be patient."

As soon as Zhang Jinwang said this, Zuo Shi's heart froze. How could such a family get along with bitter and mean people?
This village chief seems to be unreliable when he does things.

Not only Zuo Shi thought so, but Hong Shi also thought so.

Hong shi looked at Zhang Jinwang with a half-smile but not a smile: "You can, you can be fair and square with your cousin, the old man Sun is straightforward, but Widow Zhao is a difficult person to get along with, why did you arrange the Zuo family there? "
