Chapter 16 No more renting!
"An's family said that Xiaoya is a broom star, Xiaoya has endless housework every day, and she has to be beaten every now and then...

Just a few days ago, I bought an orange candy for Xiaoya in the town, and her mother happened to lose three dollars, so she insisted that Xiaoya stole it, and almost beat her to death..."

Thinking of the scars on Anya's neck, Ling Yanshan slowed down eating noodles: "Auntie, don't worry, if Xiaoya scolds me in the future, I will let her go."

Li Xinlan smiled and scooped the newly boiled water into the bucket: "You are an older brother, and you are several years older than Xiaoya, so it is right to let her order.

Once you've been in contact with her for two days, you'll know that Xiaoya is not the kind of unreasonable girl.By the way, after talking for so long, my aunt forgot to ask how long you can stay this time? "

"You can stay for a week, and I will leave next week."

"That's good, eat quickly, take the bucket of hot water back to wash up after eating, go to bed early, and help my aunt move tomorrow morning, and we will celebrate the Lantern Festival in our new home in a few days!"

Ling Yanshan happily responded, finished his noodles in two or three bites, and went back to his room to wash up.

The guest room turned out to be the one he had been living in, with a few simple pieces of furniture, just like the ones he had left when he left.

The difference is that there is a little more odds and ends on the side of the pillow—the rubber bands used to tie the hair, without any decoration, the kind that are twisted on the rubber bands with thick black woolen yarn.

There are a few withered and yellow hairs wrapped around the rubber band, and you can tell whose it is at a glance; Li Xinlan's hair is still very black, not so malnourished.

Ling Yanshan threw the two rubber bands onto the small table beside the bed, glanced at the bloody bite mark on his hand, and snorted softly:
"A yellow-haired girl with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth! Seeing how pitiful you are, I don't care about you."

Li Xinlan only discovered the injury on Ling Yanshan's hand the next day: "Shanzi, why is your hand injured? Why does it look like—"

"Auntie, it's all right, I was accidentally bitten by a wild cat in the county yesterday."

"Then get vaccinated quickly!" Li Xinlan was a little anxious.

Ling Yanshan gave Anya a sideways look with a half-smile: "I was beaten, the wound has been debrided, it's fine."

Only then did Li Xinlan feel relieved, and while tying up the quilt that was going to be brought into the city, she muttered:
"It's still a county town. There are more wild cats and dogs than our countryside. Xiaoya said that yesterday she was frightened by a wild dog that jumped out suddenly, and she fell down and hit the curb. The backs of her feet were black and blue... ..."

O wild dogs!

Ling Yanshan's gaze met Anya's gaze, they fought silently for a moment, and then backed down first.

Forget it, he really misunderstood this ugly girl yesterday, she probably couldn't stand up because of the pain at that time...

The few chickens I raised were first entrusted to Dr. Liao to feed for a day. After entering the city, I could use pots, pans, ladles, bedding, and personal clothes.

Fortunately, when Ling Yanshan came back, he carried a big bundle on his back, and carried a bundle on the left and right. Li Xinlan and Anya could easily carry a basket of things on their backs and carry a few baskets of odds and ends.

He set off before dawn, still caught the early bus to the county seat, and quickly arrived at the rented house.

The house is a single room on the first floor of the old Tongzi building. The faucet, stove and toilet are all in the corridor and are shared.

The coal stoves of several households are placed outside the door, and it is the time for each household to cook breakfast at this moment. If you turn around in the aisle, you will bump into people, and there will naturally be a lot of swearing between each other.

Ling Yanshan frowned, and put all his things outside: "Auntie, wait outside, I'll go in and have a look."

As soon as you walk in the aisle, there is a musty and damp smell, mixed with the pungent smell of burning coal, which is completely trapped in the aisle and does not circulate.

Ling Yanshan took a deep breath and followed the landlord inside.

The room is in the innermost room, and the area is very small. There is only an old wire bed and a three-door cabinet in it, so there is no room. It is so crowded that it is difficult to turn around.

The door is just a thin wooden door, and the lock pins are all old-fashioned. Ling Yanshan can open it with a fist without using a foot.

Li Xinlan couldn't see it, but Ling Yanshan could roughly figure it out with a quick glance. There are only five or six households here, all from different religions. Seeing the landlord bring Ling Yanshan in, several of them had blinking and evasive eyes.

Ling Yanshan, a strong and tall young man, is not afraid of living here, but Li Xinlan may cause trouble if he brings Anya here.

Glancing at the room, Ling Yanshan turned around and walked out: "Aunt, you can't live here, the conditions here are too bad!"

Of course Anya also knew that the condition of this place was too poor, and she and Li Xinlan had looked at this house together yesterday.

But there is nothing they can do about the poor conditions. They have to count the rice for the pot, and they only have so little money in their hands, so they can only live here for the time being.

Seeing that Ling Yanshan disagreed, Anya quickly pulled him aside and lowered her voice: "Ling Yanshan, the house here is already considered to be very cost-effective..."

Ling Yanshan snorted: "What is the price/performance ratio? You think the housing prices here are low. Don't try to find cheap things, cheap things don't have good products.

Take a look at those households when you walked over just now, which one is the good stubble?I stayed here for a few days and then left. What should I do if I leave you and my aunt here?
No matter how talkative you are, a slap from someone can make you dumb, don't you believe it? "

Anya glared: "Who is afraid of anyone who really wants to use force? It's not like I don't know how to fight—"

Ling Yanshan rolled up his sleeves, revealing the bloody bite mark on his wrist: "Do you know how to hit or bite? People have two hands and two legs, but you only have one mouth!"

Anya resentfully remained silent.

Her strength is not going into battle with her shirtless, no matter how slick she is, she will definitely be absolutely crushed in the face of disparity in power.

She was thinking about finding another place to move out after earning money, but what if she was "crushed" before moving away?
She was so angry that she didn't say anything, and she had to swallow all her grievances. Who made her incapable of getting back in this regard!
Anya stopped talking, Ling Yanshan pulled her and walked out.

The landlord chased after him and shouted: "This condition is not good? It only costs 15 yuan a month. You can cook and have a bathroom. Where can you find such conditions!"

Ling Yanshan shook his head resolutely: "No, the air is not good, it is not good for people's health, and the residents are too mixed, it is not safe!"

Ling Yanshan answered firmly, and the landlord was annoyed: "What do you want with such a low monthly rent? If you think it's not good here, you'd better stay in a big hotel! If you don't rent it, you won't rent it. It was agreed yesterday, and I will pay the deposit." But there is no retreat!"

Li Xinlan hesitated for a while, and paid 5 yuan as a deposit, which was equivalent to one-third of the monthly rent, which was not a small amount.

Ling Yanshan directly pulled Anya out, "If you don't leave, you won't leave, Auntie, let's go and change to another place, we won't be renting here anymore!"

As soon as Ling Yanshan made a final decision, Li Xinlan followed suit unconditionally.

Anya was dragged all the way to the street before breaking away from Ling Yanshan's hand: "Wait a minute! With so many things on your back, you are looking for a house like a headless chicken. You are not afraid of being exhausted!"

The old god Ling Yanshan was squinting at her: "Don't worry, just come with me, I won't tire you too much."

Haven't you been back to the county seat for many years, and you still have such a good idea in your heart?Anya muttered: "It's so cowhide, is it real?"

Ling Yanshan said that he would not tire people, and he was indeed unambiguous. He took them straight to the guard room of a unit to warm up and rest for a while, and ran out to find a house by himself.
