In their previous lives, Su Yin, her mother, and her sister-in-law were brutally mu*dered by a mob. In a twist of fate, all three were reborn together.
Before the mob could reach their villag...
As soon as the boy entered the shoe shop, he was thinking about looking for someone, but it turned out that there was no need, because the person was already in the lobby.
He had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance that all the people in the hall were his customers.
"Master Su, the thing you asked me to do has finally been done. I went to many places and finally found three that meet your requirements."
Everyone was very happy that the result came out so quickly.
"Tell us the situation first so that everyone can hear it."
The young man was good at talking, so he was able to get the point easily. He said to the people in Xinghua Village, "One is Linghua Lane. There are four houses with courtyards. There is a kitchen, a woodshed, and everything else."
"There is another one called Peach Blossom Lane, which is divided into two streets, front and back. There are five rooms in the front and three in the back, for a total of eight rooms."
"The last place is relatively concentrated, which is close to your house, near the East City. There are two houses with signs hanging outside. Those two houses are relatively large, and they are one courtyard. The specifications are one main room, two side rooms, and two wing rooms. Families with many people can choose to live here, which is still very cost-effective."
After everyone finished listening, someone couldn't help but say, "This isn't very focused."
The young man slapped his thigh and said hurriedly, "Oh, gentlemen, there are more than ten households living in one place, and they are all short-term rentals. The landlord didn't agree. I found these three places, it's just luck. Some time ago, a senior official was confiscated and his family was exterminated, and many people were implicated, so the houses next to each other were vacant."
Su Xiaozhong said, "He's right. If they want to rent them all together, it's unlikely that there will be so many vacant houses for short-term rental in one place."
"It's still early now. You can go with him to take a look. If you think it's suitable, you can sign it. If you think it's not suitable, let him continue to look for it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Butcher Yang ran up to the boy and asked, "How much does it cost per month to get into the courtyard near Brother Su?"
"Short-term rental, three taels a month. If you rent it long-term, it's fifty cents cheaper."
Three or two dollars a month, I have to say, it’s very expensive.
If you rent it for a year, it would cost at least more than thirty taels of silver.
You have to know that the people of the Yong Dynasty earned less than ten taels of silver in a whole year.
Since ancient times, housing prices have generally been high wherever the emperor is.
The famous poet Bai Juyi once lamented the capital city at that time, "Rice is expensive in Chang'an, and it is not easy to live in a big city."
It can be seen that this has been a common problem since ancient times.
Butcher Yang made a prompt decision and said, "Take me to have a look first."
My uncle Yang Dahe also said, "Take me over there to have a look."
These two people reacted the fastest, and by the time others reacted, it was already too late.
Butcher Yang and Dahe Yang were the first people to make a fortune following Su Yin.
That amount of money was enough for them to rent for more than a year.
The young man left with a group of people, but Madam Xu stayed behind.
"Mrs. Xu, what difficulties have you encountered?"
"It's okay, it ... just that my mother-in-law is feeling a little unwell."
"I'll help you watch it, you go over and take a look."
"Then you trouble Yinyin."
As soon as she left, Su's mother couldn't help but speak, "Yinyin, our house is also big, why don't we let Madam Xu and her family stay with us temporarily? It's only a month, and those houses are empty anyway. They are orphans and widows, and it will be difficult for them to make a living in Shangjing in the future."
Even if you get that money, it will all be spent eventually, not to mention that Niu Niu is still young.
Su's mother was kind-hearted, and she wanted to help in any way she could, in order to accumulate virtue for the brothers Xinyang and Xinguang.
Su Yin had no problem. She looked at her old father and asked, "Dad, do you have any ideas?"
"Your mother has said so, so listen to her."
"All right."
Seeing that they agreed, Su Baozhu smiled and said, "Then I'll call Madam Xu back."
"You also have to ask them if they are willing." Su Yin reminded with a smile.
Even if you let them live with you, others may not be willing to live with you.
Madam Xu was called back. On the way back, she had already learned what happened from Su Baozhu. When she saw Su Yin and her daughter, she thanked them repeatedly.
"I don't know how to thank you. Let me do the cleaning of the house from now on, otherwise I won't feel comfortable living here." Madam Xu's eyes were slightly red, and she held Su's mother's hand tightly.
When their family had a conflict with Dazhuang's family, Xu Niang's family supported them unhesitatingly and stood on their side. Just based on this point, it is not too much for Su Yin's family to help them.
After the heads of each household in Xinghua Village and Lijia Village followed the young men out, they stayed there until dark, but they did not come back. The women in each household became very anxious and could not even enjoy their dinner in the evening, as they were all worried about something.
When the lights were turned on on the streets, a group of people came back, and every family had a smile on their face.
I think they should have reached an agreement.
"how?"
"How about it?"
The women from each family asked anxiously.
The man answered them one by one with a smile.
The houses in Linghua Lane and Taohua Lane are similar. The monthly rent for larger houses with more rooms is a few dozen more coins, but most of them are rented for a short period of time, about one or two taels of silver per month.
Each family has chosen a house of their choice and signed a lease with the owner, so they can move in tomorrow.
No one expected to find a house so quickly.
They originally thought it would take at least two or three days, but unexpectedly it was completed on the same day.
Everyone was happy that a major issue had been resolved.
Of course, they all knew that Su Yin's family had quietly bought a two-story house, and none of them were surprised at all.
In their words, Master Wan San has always been taken care of by the Su family, and Master Wan San must have paid Su Yin a lot.
It would be abnormal to give each of them a hundred taels and Su Yin several thousand taels.
They would never have thought that Master Wan San gave not just a few thousand taels, but sixty thousand taels, and ten valuable rings.
Early the next morning, each family settled the rent at the foot inn, skillfully placed their luggage on the carriages, and drove to their newly rented houses.
Butcher Yang, Yang Dahe, and Doctor Li booked the two houses closest to Su Yin and his friends. They could reach the house by just turning a corner and walking through an alley.
Butcher Yang has a large family and rents a separate courtyard.
My uncle Yang Dahe's family was a simple family and did not need so many rooms, so they shared a courtyard with Dr. Li's family, who also had a simple family.
The two families can also take care of each other.
Other families also share the rent, as long as they can squeeze in, they do so.
If there are too many people, they can rent a room for themselves.
Everyone was basically heading in the same direction, traveling together. The team was huge, but when they reached their respective streets and alleys, they separated little by little, and in the end only the carriages of Su Yin's four families were left.
