Chapter 19 Finding the Way

Stepping into Aunt Wu's house again, Li Shishi felt as if she had passed away.

It was only a day later, but now her situation has changed drastically.

After entering the courtyard, the daughter-in-law of the Wu family came out when she heard the voice.

A few people entered the room, made tea again, took some snacks and put them on the kang table, and brought some snacks for Zhaodi and Daidi, and let them go out to play.

They were chatting and mentioned Li Shishi's desire to find a house. At this moment, Wu's daughter-in-law seemed to think of something, slapped her thigh and said, "Do you think this is a coincidence? Not long after my mother left today, I I met the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yang family and saw her leaving in a hurry. I asked curiously, but I heard that their family was leaving. I also said that she didn’t want the two rooms in her house anymore, and that the house was not very good. Well, you can’t buy the price outside, and it’s almost exchanged. You said that there is such a coincidence in this world that it happens that you want to buy a house and her family wants to buy a house. "

When Aunt Wu heard this, she quickly waved her hand and interrupted: "No, the two small houses in her house are not protected from wind or rain. Although they are at the entrance of the village, it is convenient to go out and do things, but this is not a place for people to live. Ah, no way, no way."

"I also know their family. In the past, her daughter-in-law often bought my tofu. I don't know why they suddenly moved away."

Several people were gossiping, but Li Shishi lowered her head and thought about paying.

Last night she took a special look at her own body, and went out for some scattered silver taels. The most valuable thing in her hand was a pair of silver vermilion hairpins and a golden dianzi as big as the top of a thumb.All that was left was some worthless gold-plated jewellery.

Originally, she only planned to rent a house, but suddenly proposed to buy a house, which was a bit beyond her budget.

"Ms. Zhao's family, oh no, it should be called Shishi now." Song Liu, who didn't get used to it for a while, smiled embarrassedly, and then asked, "What do you plan to do?"

When Li Shishi saw Mrs. Song Liu asking herself, she stopped hiding it and said straightforwardly: "I originally thought about renting a house to live, but I have no plans to buy a house. After all, I didn't have much money when I came out of Zhao's house." money."

Hearing this, Aunt Wu glanced at her daughter-in-law, and then hurriedly smoothed things over: "Yes, you are right, we didn't take this into consideration, since you have already made arrangements, then we can help you find out .”

Then she asked, "When are you going to move out from the Zhao family?"

"It's just these two days. It's not easy to delay this matter for too long. I know that after the divorce, the daughter-in-law will go back to her natal family. But our family is now scattered, and the only sister has also lost contact. She wants to go back It's impossible for her mother's house, and Zhao's house is not such a good place to stay. As soon as possible."

Then Li Shishi thought for a while and said: "This thing came in a hurry, and I wasn't ready for it, so that's what happened. Now I don't have much left, so I don't think about buying a house for the time being."

Aunt Wu heard the words, nodded and said: "Since this is the case, I remembered that the old Qin family has an ancestral house that has not been lived in for a long time. I will ask her old lady if she can rent it. Don't worry, we have a close relationship. Well. After dinner, go over and ask, if she says she wants to rent, and the price is right, we will live in it first, and we can help you with anything that is close to my house. "

"However, having said that, after all, you have been married to the Zhao family for so many years. Now that you are reconciled, they have not expressed anything at all?"

Li Shishi smiled: "What's the point of expressing it? Now that things have turned out like this, I'm thankful that they don't make trouble. What else can I hope for? It's all up to me."

"Hey, it's hard for you. What you said is true. In the end we still have to rely on ourselves." Aunt Wu stood up after saying this: "Okay, it's getting late, let's have a meal, and then Let me show you the house."

Song Liu also got up: "Then wait a minute, I'll go get a piece of tofu, I haven't sold out the ones I made this morning."

After eating, they rested for a while and prepared to go to Qin's house.

The Qin family is also a big family. Although they are not as rich as the Zhao family, they still have a certain status in Hongxing Village.

Mrs. Qin is a very talkative old lady, she looks very similar to Li Shishi's grandma.

As soon as she heard that someone wanted to rent their ancestral house, she agreed.

It happened that she had just finished eating and was about to go for a walk, so she took this opportunity to take the three of them to the house that Aunt Wu had mentioned.

Because the two children were still at home, Aunt Wu left her daughter-in-law at home and took Liu Songshi and Li Shishi with her.

A few people walked and chatted on the road, and soon arrived at the Qin family's ancestral house.

What caught my eye was two thatched cottages, and there was a small vegetable garden on the left side of the thatched cottage, which was now deserted.

There is a millstone in the middle of the yard, and there is a simple kitchen built with thatch and wood on the right side of the yard.

Other than that there is nothing else.

But fortunately, the yard is not too small, so there is room for some chickens and ducks.

This house is old, and the whole yard is simply surrounded by a bamboo fence.

Slightly dilapidated.

But Li Shishi found that this place was very similar to grandma's house, so a sense of intimacy rose from her heart inexplicably.

After entering the garden, Mrs. Qin took them to visit the yard. Li Shishi also discovered that there was actually a small vegetable garden behind the house.

The more she looked at it, the more she liked it, but on the surface she had to act like she was not very interested, and said casually, "How old is this house?"

The old lady said truthfully: "This house has been around for a long time, but it has only been vacant for a few years. Although it is a bit dusty, just clean it up. I heard about you, so I don't make things difficult for you. Our family also Don’t point to this to eat, if you think it’s suitable, you can give one tael of silver for a year.”

In this dynasty, one tael of silver could buy rice of average quality and two stones, one stone was about 94.4 kilograms, and one tael of silver could buy 188.8 kilograms of rice, which was 377.6 catties.Now the price of rice is 3 yuan per catty, and one tael of silver is the current 1132 yuan.

Li Shishi's brain was spinning rapidly, and it was only more than 1000 yuan a year, which was quite appropriate.

Although the house is a bit dilapidated, but fortunately she still has some craftsmanship.

But Aunt Wu felt that the price was a bit high, so she pointed to the cracked walls of the house and said, "Look, the walls are cracked, isn't it a bit expensive for a tael a year? This girl has to repair it after she moves in." House, you are not cheap."

The old lady Qin smiled: "Sister Wu, what you said, how can I not know that this house needs to be repaired, if you are not in a hurry, I will find someone to repair it tomorrow. In the future, if something breaks or leaks, you Just go to my house, although my family is not a big family, but there are always two long-term workers, and then let them come to repair it."

Then she turned her head to look at Li Shishi again: "In the future, if you live in any troubles, you can come to me. Although the old lady is old, but fortunately, she is not confused. I can help you with every little thing." .”

Hearing this, Li Shishi looked back at Mrs. Qin with a smile: "As soon as I saw you, I felt that you were very much like my grandmother. I feel at ease living with you. I rent this house."
