After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 32 Renting a House
When Mrs. Qian saw Zhang Yunniang and the children behind Gu Mingda, she immediately took Zhang Yunniang's hand enthusiastically and said, "Are you Yunniang, brother Gu's wife? I've heard little brother Gu mention you often, oh, you guys The children at home are all in perfect order."

The family was pulled into the yard by Mrs. Qian.

"The best house has been reserved for you. I have reserved two rooms for you. Are they enough?" Mrs. Qian asked.

Gu Mingda nodded and said, "Thank you very much, mother-in-law. I trouble you every time I come here."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qian immediately waved her hand and said, "Brother Gu, you are too polite to say this. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't be able to live the good life I have now."

Mrs. Qian asked again: "Although I have cleaned the house, please see if there are any deficiencies. I will clean it up now."

Gu Mingda didn't even look at the cleaning situation of the room and said directly: "Grandma Qian, how can I be worried about the house you prepared?"

Mrs. Qian's smile deepened and she left on the pretext of being busy. However, not long after, she diligently brought them a pot of hot water.

Gu Mingda accompanied Zhang Yunniang to pack the large luggage bag. They did not let the children idle, but asked them to pack the things they took out.

Children had few things, so after sorting them out, Gu Yan took out a book to read. Gu Zhao and Niu Niu were young, so they wandered around in the yard.

"Have you ever helped Granny Qian? She is so kind to our family." Zhang Yunniang asked her husband softly.

The house has been cleaned spotlessly, and the quilt in the room is warm and fluffy, without any moisture. It has obviously been dried in advance. If you live in a guesthouse, it is difficult to find such a good house. The most important thing is that the rent is reasonable. low.

"The first year I came to Fucheng to take the college entrance exam, she worked as a helper in a hotel. After I failed the exam, I heard someone crying in the middle of the night. After asking about it, I just found out that the pain I felt about failing the exam was not the same as hers. Compared to that, it’s really nothing.”

Facing his wife's puzzled gaze, Gu Mingda continued to explain: "Grandma Qian's husband's family is quite wealthy, with two shops and this house. However, they gave birth to a son after marriage. He is not very smart. Her husband can't go there." Early on, there was a scoundrel in the clan who took over the house and shop in the name of taking care of them, and drove the mother and son out."

Although Gu Mingda said it tactfully, Zhang Yuniang also heard it. She said that her son was probably a fool when he said he was "not smart".

Gu Mingda continued to explain: "I helped her write a complaint, and I used Ji to catch the scoundrel, helped her get the house back, and helped her find a childless orphan in the clan. As an adopted heir, let her renovate this house and rent it out at a cheap price to the children taking the college entrance examination."

Grandma Qian still has two shops and is not too short of money. She rents her house to children at a low price because if these scholars do well in the exams in the future, they can also accumulate some love and protect her family.

The Niuniu brother and sister who were playing in the yard had already begun to play hide and seek.

Gu Zhao took advantage of Niuniu's eyes being closed and quickly ran into the corridor at the back and found a corner to hide.

When Niu Niu opened her eyes, Gu Zhao's figure was completely invisible around her.

Niu Niu searched the whole yard but couldn't find her little brother. After some hesitation, she shouted: "Third brother, I'm looking for you at the back."

Gu Zhao heard his sister's voice and huddled in the corner, covering his mouth and snickering.

Niuniu shouted and ran.

Hearing his sister's footsteps entering the corridor, Gu Zhao couldn't help but become nervous and strained his ears to hear how far away his sister was from him.

"Brother? Brother, are you hiding behind the tree?" Niu Niu asked.

No one answered. The place where Gu Zhao was hiding was a blind corner. Niu Niu tilted her head and searched around but couldn't find it. She saw that the corridor had reached the end, and if she went further, she would enter the courtyard next.

Niu Niu heard the adults mention that this house was in a good location, all the rooms were rented out, and there were people living in other courtyards.

Niu Niu stood at the Moon Gate, hesitated for a moment, but did not go in. Instead, she turned to the corridor and shouted: "Brother, where are you hiding? Niu Niu can't find it. Niu Niu has given up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Zhao did not appear, but a mean-looking woman who looked to be in her forties came out from behind the Moon Gate.

The woman grabbed Niu Niu by the collar and asked fiercely: "Whose child are you? Who taught you to make noise here? Do you know that it will affect other people's study?"

Niuniu struggled immediately and said, "I didn't enter your yard..."

The woman glanced at Niu Niu with disgust and said, "Wouldn't it affect me if I didn't enter the yard? You little girl, please be quiet. If my son fails to pass the exam this time, I will beat you to death!"

After the woman finished speaking, she let go of her hand and threw Niu Niu to the ground with all her strength.

Gu Zhao rushed out as soon as he heard the argument, and Kankan ran over to catch Niuniu, preventing her sister from falling to the ground.

After holding Niu Niu steady, Gu Zhao, like a small cannonball, rushed towards the woman's belly, knocking her to her feet and saying, "Don't bully my sister, you big bad guy!"

The woman barely stood firm against the Moon Gate, her eyebrows stood up in anger, and she scolded: "You little bastard, you don't have any rules at all. I'm going to take care of you for your parents!"

After the woman finished speaking, she was about to stop facing Gu Zhao.

But Gu Zhao was not the kind of child who would stand stupidly and get beaten. He took Niu Niu's hand and ran back, shouting as he ran: "The old Qian woman is beating someone, the old Qian woman is beating someone!"

The woman did not expect such a big child to have such a vicious mouth, and cursed: "Stop, I will tear your mouth off!"

When Gu Zhao heard this, he stood still, turned around and made a face at her, and continued running towards his house.

Gu Mingda and Zhang Yuniang had already walked out of the house the moment they heard their son's voice.

When Gu Zhao saw his master, he immediately acted as if someone was supporting him. He pulled Niuniu and hid behind his parents. He raised his head and started to complain: "Father, mother, this old woman pushed Niuniu and wanted to hit me. Fortunately, I ran fast! "

When Gu Mingda heard this, his eyes suddenly darkened.

"Obviously it was you, the brat, who beat me first, but you still dare to accuse me first!" the woman scolded.

When Gu Mingda heard this, he did not refute on the spot, but asked Niu Niu: "Niu Niu, can you tell dad what happened?"

Niu Niu spoke clearly and quickly explained the cause and effect.

After listening to the two children's accounts, Gu Mingda confirmed that there was basically no discrepancy between what they said, so he naturally believed his own children.

He immediately made a serious face and said: "Auntie, it seems too unreasonable for someone of your age to bully a child."
