Chapter 39 Rent
At this time, the sky is already slightly revealing egg white, the clouds are gathered in the sky like a market, and the sun is gradually rising.

After the efforts of the villagers, the fire was finally extinguished, leaving only ruins and scorched earth.

"You guys have been busy all night, and you're all exhausted. You've worked hard, so go back and rest!" Sun Lizheng waved his hand.

"Okay! Let's go back first, and Lizheng will go back earlier."

The villagers nodded slightly to Sun Lizheng, and dragged their exhausted bodies back to the village.

Gradually, everyone left, leaving only five people, Fat Miao'er, and... Zhou Laosan.

He looked at Fat Miao'er in embarrassment: "Are you really going to... Wu's house?"

The Wu family has the worst reputation in Dashi Village. There are only two people in the family, namely Wu Yong and his wife Chunniang.

They came to Dashi Village to settle down three years ago. The gates are closed on weekdays, and they rarely communicate with the villagers.

The villagers knew the details and were unwilling to contact this family.

"Yes!" Fat Miao'er nodded.

"Hey!" Zhou Laosan sighed heavily, unable to hold back Fat Miao'er, so he had to follow her, turned around and took the five of them to Wu's house.

Wu's house is very close to Zhou's house, also at the east end of the village. There are only a few houses in between. It is a large courtyard built with blue bricks and red tiles.

In Dashi Village, apart from Sun Lizheng and He Xiucai's family, his family's house is the most magnificent.

Standing in front of Wu's house.

Zhou Laosan hesitated for a long time, and finally knocked on the door of Wu's house.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

After a few sounds, footsteps came from the courtyard.

Immediately afterwards, the door was opened, revealing a gap, and a beautiful woman about 25 or six years old hid behind the door and poked her head out.

This person is none other than Wu Yong's wife Chunniang.

She looked at several people with puzzled eyes, paused when she saw Fat Miao'er, then quickly moved away, and landed on Zhou Laosan.

He asked softly, "What's the matter with you?"

"I, I..." Zhou Laosan faltered and couldn't speak.

He is relatively dull, not good at words.

Although Chunniang has been in Dashi Village for three years, he has never said a word to her, and the number of times he has seen her is very few.

The most important thing is related to Chunniang's life experience.

She is Congliang, a girl from a brothel, she has more or less a charm and charm that the villagers do not have, and she speaks in a soft voice, which inevitably makes people daydream.

Zhou Laosan lowered his head, blushed a lot, didn't know where to put his eyes, and didn't dare to look at her face at all.

Seeing this, Fat Miao'er shook her head helplessly, her father was worthless, so she had to come.

She took a step forward and stood in front of Zhou Laosan.

She raised her head, showing a smiling face, and said straight to the point in a soft voice, "Aunt Wu, I want to rent your house."

There are two sets of houses in the Wu family. In addition to the green brick and red tile courtyard in front of them, there is also an adobe house next to them.

Back then Wu Yong and Chun Niang came to Dashi Village after they got married. Because they were in urgent need of a place to live, they bought a ready-made small earthen house for five taels of silver to live in temporarily, and then built a big house next to it.

After the two moved to the big house, the earthen house had been put on hold, and it was this earthen house that Fat Miaoer wanted to rent.

"Rent?"

After hearing Fat Miao'er's words, Chunniang showed doubts in her eyes.

There are quite a few renting houses in towns and counties, but she has never heard of renting houses in the village.

"Yes, rent a house." Fat Miao'er nodded.

She pursed her mouth, and said with a serious expression: "Aunt Wu, the ruined temple caught fire last night, and the few of us lost our place to live, so I wanted to rent your house for a temporary stay."

Fat Miao'er stretched out his hand, pointed at himself, then at Li Xiaodao, Wei Shu, Compass, and Liu Ye'er.

"You, you guys come in and say..."

Chunniang's eyes fell on Zhou Laosan, and she looked a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Wei Shu hurriedly said to Zhou Laosan: "Uncle Zhou, you go back first, we will discuss the rest with Aunt Wu."

"Okay, let's talk!" Zhou Laosan nodded.

He is honest, but not unreasonable, and it is obvious that Chunniang doesn't want him in.

It's not right for him to go in either.

So after a few instructions to Fat Miao'er, she went back to Zhou's house and waited for the letter.

After he left, Chunniang led the five Fat Miao'er to the main room, invited them to sit down, and brought them tea and snacks.

"I remember that you are the granddaughter of the Zhou family, how did you end up in...a ruined temple?"

What happened last night was a big deal, even a woman like Chun Niang who doesn't listen to things outside the window has vaguely heard about it.

"I was kicked out by the Zhou family."

Fat Miao'er briefly explained what happened.

After hearing this, Chunniang sighed, her brows were tinged with love.

She didn't expect that such a terrible thing happened to Fat Miao'er after she hadn't seen Fat Miao'er in these days.

"Poor child." Chun Niang stretched out her hand and patted Fat Miao'er's head.

"If you guys don't dislike it, then move here!"

Chunniang agreed without hesitation, but she didn't say a word about the rent that Fat Miao'er and the others had asked for.

But Fat Miao'er took the initiative to ask: "Aunt Wu, what is the rent?"

"Can we give it to you on a monthly basis." Fat Miao'er discussed.

Chun Niang shook her head: "Let's forget about the rent."

Her family's conditions are not bad, and there is no shortage of these copper coins, just to thank Fat Miao'er for her kindness.

That's right!It's kindness!
In the past, when the little children in the village were told by their elders, seeing her was like seeing a scourge, and they were afraid to avoid it.

Only Fat Miao'er, with a bright smile on her face and no suspicion in her eyes, called her aunt sweetly.

He also took the initiative to talk to her and chat about homework.

She really likes this chubby, fuwa-like little girl.

"My husband-in-law is not at home all the year round, and it is inevitable that I will be lonely alone. When you are free, come and talk to me."

Chun Niang took Fat Miao'er's hand and stroked it gently.

"Of course!" Fat Miao'er readily agreed. She had heard about Chunniang's situation from the villagers.

She has no family, and her husband Wu Yong is a bodyguard, who is escorted by the bodyguard bureau, travels around all the year round, and only comes back once in a few months.

The in-law's family also fell out because they did not agree with the marriage between the two, and broke off contact.

Neighbors are left and right, and there is no intersection.

The most important thing is that Chunniang was ruined by drinking Juezi soup in her early years, and she still has no children around her. Nuoda's yard is empty, and she is alone. She is really lonely.

"But the rent still has to be paid."

Fat Miao'er changed her voice and returned to the rent.

Chunniang refused to accept it, she tried to evade it, and finally accepted fifty coins as a symbol.

Fifty Wen per month, this price was beyond the expectation of Li Xiaodao, Liu Ye'er and others.

You know, they still have to pay Uncle Gui five Wen a month to live in the ruined temple, twenty Wen for four of them.

Although there are [-] more texts now, the environment is many times better than the ruined temple.

"Come on, I'll show you the house."

Chun Niang stood up and took Fat Miao'er and the others to the next door.
