Chapter 18
"A-Lian, we don't have much money. We had already filled our stomachs on the road just now, so it would be a waste to eat noodle soup." Gu Zhu saw that a bowl of noodle soup cost two copper coins, and his brows were all distressed. Wrinkled into a piece.

Gu Lian also knew that the money could not be spent in the first place, but now that they want to rent a house, it is naturally faster to ask the local people, they must know where the house is cheap to rent, and they also know which house to rent.

"If you eat this noodle soup, you're making money. There's no way to waste it. It's enough for the three of us to eat a bowl."

The owner of the soup noodle shop took a big pottery bowl, put boiled white noodles into the bowl, scooped up clear soup, put some chopped green onions and brought it up with a smile.

"Guest officer, your noodles are ready, eat well."

"Boss, can I inquire about something?" Gu Lian put two copper coins on the table and asked with a smile.

The owner of the soup noodle shop liked this kind of customers the most. He would give money as soon as he saw the noodle soup, so he would not be afraid of repudiating his bills. When Gu Lian asked to inquire about something, he naturally responded with a grin.

"Okay, what does the guest officer want to order? Even though I have opened this noodle soup shop in the town for more than ten years, I am very familiar with the things in this area."

"No wonder the soup in this noodle shop smells so good. It turns out that it is because the shop has been open for many years. My family and I want to rent a house here, but we are not familiar with this place. I wonder if the boss knows where there is a house for rent here. , preferably at a moderate price." Gu Lian explained what she wanted to inquire about.

After hearing this, the owner of the soup noodle shop knew that he was a newcomer to the town, so he didn't hesitate, and carefully explained the houses that could be rented in the town.

"If you want to find a moderate price, don't look at the front, go to the back, the more you go, the cheaper it will be. Recently, many people have come to our town. This house is sold or rented. Less, you have to hurry up."

Gu Lian thanked him quickly after hearing what he said, and stopped chatting, took the chopsticks and the three of them quickly ate a bowl of noodle soup, and there was no soup left.

The alleys in Xinyue Town are fairly orderly, without any special twists and turns. Gu Lian and the others only chose the big alleys to walk, and they walked behind without looking at the ones ahead. People are looking for a house.

The owner of the soup noodle shop is really right. The price of the house is indeed cheaper as you go to the back, but the house is getting more and more dilapidated. Some of them don’t even have a roof, only the beams are left. It looks dilapidated. The house is broken and the courtyard is not popular at all.

"This room is a bit too dilapidated, it's really..." After seeing the room here, Gu Zhu opened his mouth slightly and was stunned for a while before saying anything.

"Sister, I think the house here is very good, at least it has walls!" Gu Shu thinks it's better than being exposed to the wind and sun on the road.

Gu Lian also thinks that the house is broken, but if the price is cheap, it doesn't matter if it's broken. There are so many of them who can repair the house a little bit, but no matter how hard you look for it, you have to find one with a roof, and it doesn't take much to repair it. money.

"Let's go there and ask." Pulling the two siblings, Gu Lian arrived at a house that looked so-so.

On the opposite door of the room, there was a woman who was chatting with her neighbor next door, holding melon seeds in her hand, she was dressed up a bit, and during the chat, the melon seeds in her mouth kept spitting out from her mouth.

"Hey, does this little lady want to watch the house?" After seeing Gu Lian and the others, the stylishly dressed woman put the melon seeds in her hand on the plate, and walked over with a twisted waist and a smile.

"Is the owner of this house an aunt?" Gu Lian nodded and asked with a smile.

The woman stretched out her fingers and put the fallen hair behind her ears, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I am the owner of this house. This house used to be lived by my elder brother, but they moved to the city after getting rich. So I thought about selling it, of course, if the lady wants to rent it, she can also rent it."

Gu Lian is not afraid that this woman will tell lies. To rent a house here, a contract must be signed, and an intermediary will be required to give her fingerprints. If she dares to pretend to be the owner of the house, she will be punished.

"This house looks fine to me, and my aunt looks like a real person, but I don't know how much your house costs a month in terms of rent."

"Haha, the little lady is really good at talking, don't worry, I will definitely not cheat you, the house is broken down like this, even if I want to say a high price, you will not be willing, is that the reason?" With a smile on his waist, he went into his house to get the key, and opened the door of the opposite house.

"Come, come, come in and have a look. This house hasn't been tidied up for a long time. If you really want to rent it, I won't say much about the price. It's two taels of silver a month. If it wasn't for the dilapidated house, I would have to say it anyway." Three or two, but the ugly words can be said first, if you want to repair this house, that's your business, I don't care."

The woman is not a disadvantaged person. The house is broken, but Xiuxiu can still live in it. The head of her family thinks that she has a good house to live in, and she doesn't want to bother about it anymore. She thinks about letting it go. It's better to rent out this house to make some spare money.

There are three rooms in the house, two for people, and one for sundries, with a small courtyard, which doesn't look very big, but it really is worth every inch of land in the town.

"Auntie, this house looks even dilapidated than it looks from the outside! One tael of silver a month, you are idle here, ma'am, one tael of silver this month is enough for you to eat and drink for a month " Gu Lian saw that this house was really not worth two taels of silver, and it would take a lot of time for them to repair it.

"Look at the roof is rotten, and the weeds in the yard are about to cover us. I really dare not touch your house. I'm afraid it will collapse if I touch it."

As soon as Gu Lian finished speaking, Gu Shu accidentally bumped into the door, and the door, which was originally good, fell down, scaring everyone in the yard with a bang.

"Oh, why did it fall down?" The woman lifted the door up, and her hands were covered with ashes. This house has not been lived in for a long time, Gu Lian's words really reminded her .

"Ashu, you and eldest sister go and invite your parents to come and have a look. If there are good places in your parents' place, I won't look here." In bargaining, you must have a variety of choices, so that you The owner of the house felt nervous, Gu Lian knew that her parents must be delusional, but they really couldn't afford to rent those good houses.

Gu Zhu looked over worriedly, but thinking that the woman didn't look evil, he took his younger brother's hand and went to find his parents.

"What you said, little lady, is that this house has been built for hundreds of years, and it will collapse wherever it touches."

"Auntie, what you said is not right. You dare to live here based on the current state of the house. If I really rent this house, I have to ask someone to see if the house is solid and whether people can live in it. !"

Gu Lian and the woman bargained fiercely. The woman wanted to earn two taels of silver, but Gu Lian just wanted her to drop to one tael.
