Madam, go home and farm

Chapter 39 Rent
Pu Huang sees that the matter of stealing money has left a rift between Wu Shi, Xia Shi and Hong Xiaomei. As long as he thinks about it, Xia Shi will probably hate him so much, it's very idle, so let you fight each other.

"Ma'am, what you did like this is too subverting the past impression." After returning, Hong Hao'an remembered the words and expressions that Puhuang had just said when he beat Hong Xiaomei and confronted the second master of the Hong family, Wu. Could this be his nature?
Pu Huang rolled her eyes, she was already very careful, she was afraid that she would accidentally shoot someone to death, this is not the end of the world, killing people doesn't pay for their lives, she doesn't want to run away, as long as she can make money safely and buy a Zhuangzi is the owner.

"If you don't make a fuss, it's as dirty as glue. It's a mess. Besides, I'm already in control." Although he said so, Pu Huang was actually very upset. Hong Xiaomei dared to steal money, only to be caught by her. It was just a slap in the face. In my own opinion, Hong Xiaomei might not have any repentance at all.

Hmph, don't let her find opportunities in the future, otherwise she will have to lose half of her life, and finally separated, so let's put this matter aside for now.

Most of the goal has been achieved, Puhuang packed things again, except for the things he bought and the original clothes, he didn't bring anything else, "Let's stay at the godmother's house for one night first, and we will talk about the renting of the house tomorrow. "

It took only three times to bring the things to Xu's house, and with the help of Hong Jiaping, the things were moved in a short while. Wu Shi personally supervised, fearing that Puhuang would move all the things in the house.

Although Xu's house is not a tile-roofed house, it has a lot of rooms. Yang's family gave birth to two rooms for guests to live in, and there is just one room left.After putting the things away, Hong Hao'an thought about going to Wang Shan's house to discuss renting a house before the application time had passed.

Outside the house, Puhuang seldom hugged Hong Haoan, mainly because he didn't like it, but she didn't care, it seemed that he was afraid that the villagers would gossip when they saw him, but fortunately, Hong Jiaping helped bring him there when he was free.

Wang Shan's house is on the side of the main road, some distance away from Hong's house. There are two red bayberry trees planted in front of the house, which are not high, and there are vegetable fields on both sides surrounded by a fence. It's leisurely.

Wang Shan's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wu, was about to go to the river to fetch water. Seeing Puhuang pushing Hong Haoan over, she was a little surprised, "Hao'an, how come you have time today?"

"Hello, Auntie, I came here today to ask, are your two thatched huts available for rent?" Hong Haoan asked politely with a bow.

Xiao Wu hastily put down the bucket and wiped her hands on her clothes, and said a little embarrassedly: "It's hot in the sun, you go into the house and say, I'll boil the water." She didn't gossip when she was in such a mess, and just focused on keeping the house in order. She was quite surprised to see Hong Haoan Puhuang coming over.

"Auntie, no need, we are not thirsty." Pu Huang hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and said with a smile, "We have something to do, look, how about going inside and talking?" People who came back from carrying water by the river saw Pu Huang He was tugging with Xiao Wu, his eyes lit up.

Xiao Wu looked around and nodded, "Come in."

"Is Uncle Wang Shan not there?" Hong Haoan entered the room, looked around and asked.

Xiao Wu stood there, but hurriedly went to the corner room to look through the cupboard, took out a little brown sugar, and put it on the table awkwardly, "He's not here, you just said you want to rent that thatched cottage, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that I haven't lived in it for a long time, Not very suitable."

"Don't worry, Auntie, we won't be living here for long. We will move out when we have the money to start the house, about a year or so." Hong Hao'an cupped his hands again, "If you can make the decision, can you get [-] Wen a month? If possible, go Li Zhengna signed the contract."

"This, this, this, I can't decide, or I will call the master, you wait a moment." Xiao Wu waved her hands again and again, she really couldn't make a decision.

"That……"

"I'm wronged that you wait here first, I'll come as soon as I go." Xiao Wu said, and hurried out of the room.

Puhuang and Hong Haoan looked at each other, this little Wu family must be too nervous, the two grass houses are about 50 meters away from here, Wangshan does not raise cattle and sheep, just put firewood, it can still be used for people after repairing of.

After a while, Wang Shan and Xiao Wu rushed back from the field. Presumably, Xiao Wu had already told him, and he waved his hands as soon as he entered the house, "Hao'an, this is impossible. I didn't help you when you were in trouble." I'm busy, now that you've finally separated, wouldn't it be unconscionable for me to charge you money again? Why don't you move in and live with us, as you know, there are still vacancies at home."

Hong Hao'an shook his head, "Uncle Wang Shan, I know you mean well, but I can't bear it, those two thatched houses are just right for us."

Seeing Hong Haoan's determination, Wang Shan didn't know what to say for a while, scratched his head and scratched his head, "Well, you live in that grass house, and I don't charge a penny, you know, just put some firewood in that house."

"Is it possible to pay thirty Wen a month? If so, go to Lizheng to sign a contract." Hong Hao'an insisted.

At this time, Mrs. Wu brought two bowls of boiling water and put them on the side of the table, and then stood beside Wang Shan, looking at Puhuang and the others in a daze.

"No." Wang Shan shook his head, "Hao'an, aren't you, hey, I really want to help you."

"Thank you, Uncle Wang Shan, for your kindness. Hao'an took it with confidence, but the rent is a must." Right now, he doesn't want to owe favors, and he doesn't want to have too many disputes over interests. Xu's side is his. Ganniang, compared with Wang Shan, naturally has a different meaning, and the acceptance is naturally different.

"Then the monthly rent is ten cash, so we'll go and make a deed." Wang Shan sighed silently when he saw Hong Hao'an was so determined. Don't ask, except for visiting him when he just came back, he hasn't moved around since then, so it's no wonder Hong Haoan is so alienated from him now.

Hong Haoan pondered for a moment, "Fifteen Wen, if you don't agree, then forget it."

Wang Shan had no choice but to nod, and accompanied Hong Haoan to Li Zheng's house.Regarding this, Lizheng was puzzled why Hong Haoan chose such a poor house, was it to anger the second master of the Hong family or something, was it so difficult for him to accept help from others?
In the end, Li Zheng still didn't say anything.

After signing the contract, Hong Hao'an and Puhuang didn't leave right away. They also wanted to ask what places in Lizheng Village could be approved as homesteads.

"Where do you want to build the house? The Dashanping side has more open space and is spacious. There is only one unoccupied crappy house on the Kangpingluo side. You want to build it." Li Zheng just said roughly, different Prices vary from place to place.

Puhuang couldn't help but think of the open space at the end of Dashanping, near Liu Orion, "Lizheng, Liu Orion's house used to have an open space, but did they have an owner?"

"The land is full of small stones, and it is also backed by mountains. It is relatively remote, and it is indeed cheaper."

"The land is relatively flat and there are few people nearby. If we buy a wheelchair then, my husband won't have to stay in the house too often."

"Lizheng, roughly how big is that land, and how much money do you need?" Hong Hao'an calculated, and now he has about 30 taels of silver, including the foundation and the house, whether it is enough or not.

"The land is about an acre and a half. Because it is remote and has many stones, it only costs seven taels of silver. If it is a mud hut, it does not need five taels of silver. If it is a blue brick house, it is hard to say. Hao'an, what do you plan to do?" of?"

"Li Zheng, I haven't figured it out yet." Hong Hao'an said with some embarrassment.

"It's okay. Farming will be busy in a few days. I won't be able to start a house in the past two months. I guess I will have to wait until August. Well, tomorrow, your wife and I will go to the county to apply for household registration and land deeds. As for The house deed will be processed after the house is built, there is no rush." ​​Li Zheng thought for a while and said.

Hong Hao'an gave Lizheng eight taels of silver on the spot, of which seven taels were money from that place, and one tael was the expenses for handling household registration and other matters.

After returning home, Pu Huang and Mrs. Wu went to tidy up the two thatched houses. First, they moved out the firewood inside and put them on the haystack next to Wang Shan's house. Cleaned up and down.

There are a few holes in the roof, and some straws are rotten. It seems that they have not been replaced for a long time. After thinking about it, Puhuang decided to go to the mountain tomorrow afternoon to cut some reeds and the like, and let them dry in the sun for a day or two. Pretty much, but those two doors have to be nailed up again.

At about three o'clock in the unitary hour, the uncle of the Hong family came over to ask people to eat, and finally Hong Jiaping sent them over. It was quite troublesome to come and go, but judging from their appearance, they didn't approve of Puhuang being outside. If you hug someone, you have to let it go, is it that embarrassing, really.

This is the first time that Hong Haoan brought puhuang to the door formally, and it was also the first time to see his grandma Zhang Shi. The two served tea to Lao Zhang Shi in a very formal way, and each got a red purse, which he weighed slightly with his hands , should have several cents of silver.

This evening meal was well prepared, and apart from Hong Haozheng, everyone from the Hong family was present.Obviously, Puhuang is not used to this kind of family banquet. Although she doesn't need to talk most of the time, she will be mentioned occasionally. He eats carefully, which is a bit tiring.

After returning home, Puhuang remembered a lot of things that happened today, so he didn't boil medicine for Hong Haoan, so he poured water and lit the oil lamp to fry it.

During the period, Mrs. Xu came to the kitchen to have a look, and said to Puhuang: "I have heard about today's events. When you go to the county government to set up another household registration tomorrow, you will be the masters of the house. Hard work is certain, but complaining It’s useless, if you encounter trouble, you can talk to me if you don’t mind.”

"Godmother, I understand."
