"The market is open today, new comics are out!"
"Comics? What are comics?"
"You wouldn't know, would you? Miss Hu's storybooks always sell out!"

Chapter 496 Wang Family's House
Erdong was speechless: "I beg you, sister, please don't cheat me."
Help him realize his dream of making money? It's obvious that Hu Xin'er, the money-grubber, wants to take advantage of his entrepreneurial dream for free and profit from it herself!
When Erdong first came here, he also thought about achieving great things.
But now, after being tormented for so long, his wishes have been completely extinguished.
Now he just wants to open a small clinic so that what he has learned can be put to use in the world.
As long as people are free and their lives are stable, they can do anything.
But unfortunately, due to various reasons, this simple little dream cannot be realized at present.
As he was speaking, Mu Qing had already returned to the room.
Zhao Si was thinking about getting some of the wealth from the God of Wealth, so he looked for a house very quickly.
Early the next morning, he knocked on Hu Xiner's door.
However, looking at the small mud house in front of her, Hu Xin'er's eyes twitched: "Is this the house you said you chose for me?"
In the autumn wind, a fallen leaf slowly drifted down onto the tiles on the roof.
The loess house in front of me is very simple, with potholes on the walls.
Zhao Si excitedly introduced, "Sister Caishen, don't be fooled by the fact that this house is old and small, but its location is fantastic. It's right next to Qingwa Street. It's the only place in the city that has such a cheap rent and is so prosperous."
"But there are eight of us in total. How can we live in such a small house?" Hu Xiner looked at his serious expression and her eyebrows twitched.
She now felt that it was a very wrong decision to let Zhao Si make the decision.
She shouldn't have trusted such fake merchants.
If a person can't even make a living and support his family by selling inferior products, how can we expect him to pursue quality in other aspects?
Zhao Si advised: "Sister Caishen, we are in the early stages of making money now, so everything should be based on saving money. It won't be too late to enjoy it after we make a lot of money."
His reasoning was very appealing, but as a fellow greedy person, how could Hu Xiner not see through his thoughts?
She curled her lips expressionlessly: "Then why don't you live in a house like this by yourself?"
Zhao Si still felt in his heart that the one thousand taels of silver belonged to him, so he didn't want the Lu family to misuse it.
Zhao Si said confidently, "I would like to live there, but don't I already have a shop there..."
Halfway through her words, Hu Xin'er gave him a death stare.
Zhao Si felt like all his thoughts had been seen through, and he dared not say a word.
He admitted that he felt unhappy when he saw Hu Xiner and the others spending money!
"The rent for this house is only 10 taels a month," he whispered. "It can't be cheaper than this. Sister, are you really not going to give it a try?"
A chicken ran past the two of them, clucking and dropping a pile of green feces.
Hu Xin'er pinched her nose in disgust: "Haha, next one."
Even if the rent was cheap, she couldn't let her family live in such a place.
It was indeed as Zhao Si said, there were very few houses in Qingzhou City that met Hu Xiner's requirements, and most of the houses were only for sale and not for rent.
Most of the houses available for rent are shared by several families, and it is so noisy... it is better to stay in an inn.
As the sun set in the west, Hu Xin'er sat wearily in the carriage, "How many more are there?"
Zhao Si replied weakly from outside the car, "There's only one left."
Hu Xin'er looked at Mu Qing helplessly. They didn't have any hope for this last family.
If there is really no other way, they will have to find other ways and find a suitable house themselves.
"This house once produced a successful candidate in the imperial examination!" Zhao Si said, pointing to the closed gate.
Hu Xin'er looked at the house and was surprised: "It's such a big yard? How much is the rent?"
This room alone must be about 150 square meters, right? There's also a small courtyard just as large outside. The bamboos along the wall are dense and lush, obviously rarely trimmed, so they're so crowded together that they burst out of the courtyard wall like a green waterfall.
The copper ring on the closed brown wooden door has rusted, and it seems that no one has lived there for many years.
Zhao Si explained, "The yard is this big, and the rent is only 100 taels a month."
"One hundred taels?" Hu Xin'er's eyes widened. "Are you trying to steal my money? Didn't I say I wanted to find an affordable house?"
Zhao Si faced her doubts but was not at all panicked: "Sister, please don't wrongly accuse me. This courtyard is not only in Qinzhou, but also in Beijing. There is no other place as cost-effective as this one!"
He told the story of the courtyard.
It turned out that this yard was once inhabited by a family surnamed Wang. After the young master of the Wang family passed the imperial examination, they moved away with their whole family. The yard was left idle in a remote corner of the city and no one wanted it.
Recently, the Wang family was planning to sell this yard. Zhao Si had some connections, and the landlord was willing to rent out the house.
Zhao Si added, "Although 100 taels is a bit expensive, it has everything from the scenery to the furniture. Sister Caishen, I have put a lot of thought into this for you!"
Hu Xin'er took a look around the yard and said, "Then fifty taels a month will do."
Now it was Zhao Si's turn to stare with wide eyes: "Sister, your chopping is too strong, isn't it?"
Hu Xin'er ignored him and raised her chin: "Let's go in and take a look."
Zhao Si was stunned: "Do we have to go in?"
This question was a bit strange, and Hu Xin'er said with a smile: "How can we not go inside to see the house? And didn't you say that the scenery inside was beautiful and the furniture was complete? Are you kidding me?"
Zhao Si quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, everything I said is true. Then sister, you can take a look first. I'll wait outside."
"Why don't you go in?" Hu Xiner asked curiously.
Zhao Si laughed awkwardly and said, "It's useless for me to go in. I originally thought you wouldn't consider this place, so I didn't ask the original owner for much information."
Hu Xin'er was speechless after hearing this: "Is there anyone who does business like you?"
It was just a small thing like helping to find a house, but Zhao Si was able to do it with so many mistakes. It would be strange if such a person could get rich.
Hu Xiner complained in her heart as she walked into the house with her husband.
The grandeur of this courtyard exceeded her imagination, and most importantly, it was secluded enough, but not outside the city.
It is not only very suitable for Lu's mother to recuperate, but also very suitable for the face transplant surgery of Mu Qing and others.
If the price can be reduced to fifty taels per month, Hu Xiner is still willing to pay.
She walked here and there calmly, but she didn't know that Zhao Si was peeking at the door, his eyes full of nervousness and fear.
A breeze blew by quietly. It wasn't strong, but it made him shiver.
