Chapter 19
It's because it's a famine year, and things everywhere are skyrocketing, not to mention the houses for sale and rent, and the house where they are standing now is a bit too much for a tael.

"You little lady has a really tight mouth. Don't look at the dilapidated house, but it hasn't been built for a long time. You can tell by the materials of this house. Two taels of silver are worth a lot here." It's really a conscience price, and I didn't fool you just because you are a child." The woman clenched on the two taels of silver and refused to let go.

It is not easy to make money these days. Although their family is not willing to rebuild the house, they also know that many places have been hit by disasters. Gu Lian saw that people from the disaster-stricken places came here to beg for a living, and the woman is not bad. Knowing that such a person definitely doesn't have much money, but sometimes she just wants to earn more when money is at stake.

"Ma'am, this house looks good to you, but anyone with eyes can see that your house is no different from the one next to you..." When Gu Lian was negotiating with the woman, Gu Lizhi and the others also followed.

"Father, you guys are here, let's see if this room is okay? If not, let's go to another place to have a look." Gu Lian winked at her father.

But Gu Lizhi never knew what his daughter was up to. They saw a lot of houses in front of them, but when they heard the rent price, their hearts ached. They had so little money, how could they afford to rent a good house? .

"A Lian, this house is not good! It's broken like this, we have to fix it ourselves." Seeing Gu Lian's wink, Uncle Tie quickly picked up the quarrel.

Gu Lian also looked at the room with a look of hesitation, and then at the woman standing next to her: "Father, I'm afraid you are not used to living in this room. After all, you are also a scholar. Do you feel uncomfortable living here? uncomfortable."

The woman who had been standing by the side watching coldly, was stunned for a moment when Gu Zhi said that her father was a scholar, and her expression on the sidelines immediately changed.

"Hey, this is a scholar. I said that he looks different from ordinary people. His demeanor is different. Yes, yes, I won't argue with you, little lady. One tael of silver is enough." Two silvers, but we have agreed in advance that you can solve the problems in this house by yourself!" The woman's attitude made a sharp turn of 180 degrees, which made everyone confused.

Gu Lian knew what this woman was thinking, so she killed the price. She was not sloppy, and dragged the woman to sign the lease contract, and even got a broker to sign it, and paid three months' rent.

To rent a house here, an intermediary must stamp the contract, in order to prevent the landlord from bullying others, and to forcibly rent the house to others without telling the renter. This is also a means of protecting the renter .

"Ma'am, I'll take care of you from now on." Gu Lian had a sweet smile on her face, not as fierce as when she bargained just now.

The woman can be regarded as convinced by this little lady, she is so talkative, and she does things very quickly.

"Okay, let's take care of the front and back rooms." The woman agreed with a smile.

After Gu Lian got the key to the gate, she entered the newly rented house. The head of the family was still standing in the courtyard watching, because she didn't know if the house was rented or not.

"The house is rented, and we will live here in the future, but we have to clean up the house. Uncle Tie, have you found it?" This house is actually enough for their family to live in. If Uncle Tie If a family is stuffed here, I'm afraid men and women will have to mix together.

When Uncle Tie and the others were looking for a house, they knew that their family would not be able to squeeze together with the Gu family. They also took advantage of a lot along the way, and they also had some money, enough to rent for a month.

"I found it. It's not far from the house you rented. It's also a dilapidated house, but you can live in it after repairing it." Although the house is relatively dilapidated, Uncle Tie and the others are quite satisfied.

When Gu Lian saw that they had found the house, she was naturally happy in her heart: "Then you should clean up the house as well. They are all dilapidated houses and must be properly repaired before they can live in them."

Uncle Tie and the others didn't stay here any longer, and went to the house they rented with their burdens on their backs. Gu Lian's family also searched for brooms and rags and began to clean up the things in the house.

"A-Lian, we really rented this place, one tael a month! Where did you get the money? Isn't all the money in the family in your mother's hands?" Gu Lizhi was still a little dizzy. The house they were looking for earlier was said to be fifty taels a month, which made them unable to stay any longer.

Although the house is dilapidated now, as long as it is properly repaired, it is actually quite good. The most important thing is that the roof here is still intact, just pull out the weeds on it.

"Yeah, it's thanks to dad that you are a scholar! Otherwise, that aunt just now must have been unwilling to let go. She was asking for two taels of silver a month for life and death. The money on my body was given by that young master. Find the reward for the flowers." Gu Lian looked around and felt that pulling out the weeds in the yard was the most important thing.

"Father's reputation as a scholar is so useful!" Gu Zhu covered her mouth in surprise, she didn't quite understand the twists and turns here.

"That woman has been married for many years, and the child must be quite big. Our father is a scholar. If there is anything her child doesn't understand in the future, can't she come here and ask?" A person looks like a shrewd person, and it is impossible to make a big mistake because of a small one.

A scholar's knowledge is not comparable to that of a child. The woman's family background is good, and she must want to support her son's education and become a high-ranking official at that time. That's why when she heard that Gu Lizhi was a scholar, she let go of the rent so quickly.

"You are such a cunning little fellow." Gu Lizhi finally figured out what it meant when his daughter gave him a wink.

Mrs. Wang thinks that her daughter is a little cunning, and she thinks that her daughter is very smart, and now she can figure out a way for everything, but in the future, she will have to rely on her little daughter for the family affairs!She has self-knowledge, and it's okay to take care of the housekeeper a little bit, but when dealing with outsiders, her mouth is very stupid.

The eldest daughter has a submissive temperament and won't quarrel with others. Wang is now a little hopeful that she can be stronger. These days, it is not good for a girl to be too submissive, but her temperament is such that even if she wants to change it as a mother, she can't change it. Come.

"Pull out all the grass in the yard first, and you pull out the weeds below. I will go up to the roof and clean up the weeds." Gu Lian rubbed her cold hands, sighed, and rubbed against the fence .

There are people living next door. When she went up to the wall, she happened to see a young man in the window who was shaking his head and reading a book. Seeing her 'flying over the eaves and walls', her eyes widened.
