Chapter 194 I will go and inform my family to move

After introducing themselves to each other, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran followed the Zhao clan leader to see the two empty courtyards of the Zhao family.

When the group entered the Zhao family's territory, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran's first impression was that it was a world of difference from Cui Lizheng's family's brand new brick house.

The houses here are all adobe. Although there are some signs of repair, they still look solid.

Patriarch Zhao pointed to a courtyard with the lowest wall in front and said, "This is our old house. Later, because our sons grew up and wanted to get married, it became a bit crowded here, so we moved to another place and built a slightly larger courtyard."

Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran looked at each other and walked towards the yard together.

The yard is not small, with three main rooms in the middle, two side rooms on each of the east and west sides, and a half-acre vegetable garden in the backyard.

When Chief Zhao saw them looking around, he came over and asked with a smile, "This house may look a bit old, but the walls are solid. It will definitely be able to survive the winter."

Mo Jiuye did not express his opinion. There were only three courtyards available for rent, so he couldn't be picky.

"Chief Zhao, let's go check out another place!"

Patriarch Zhao knew that there were many exiles sent by the officials this time, but he didn't know how many families there were.

When he heard Mo Jiuye say this, he guessed that the other person didn't like this yard.

Patriarch Zhao was not discouraged. The other courtyard also belonged to his clan. As long as he could rent one out, it would be considered an income.

Chief Zhao called a member of the clan over.

"Zhao Fu, take Lao Jiu and his wife to see your yard."

Zhao Fu swiftly ran ahead of the group to lead the way, praying in his heart that the house could be rented out successfully, so that the family could have more income.

Zhao Fu's yard is similar to that of Patriarch Zhao, except that the house looks a little better.

After checking, Mo Jiuye looked at Patriarch Zhao and Zhao Fu who were staring at him eagerly.

"I wonder how much you rent these two yards for?"

Zhao Fu always listened to the clan leader and gave him the right to speak.

Patriarch Zhao was a kind person. Even though he knew that Mo Laojiu was in a hurry to rent a house, he did not ask for an exorbitant price.

"These two courtyards have been idle for several years. They're just sitting there anyway. You can just give them two hundred coins a month."

This price is really cheap for Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran.

You know, renting an inn that can accommodate ten people costs at least one hundred coins a night.

A large courtyard with several rooms only costs two hundred coins a month, which shows that this patriarch is a very down-to-earth person.

Mo Jiuye knew in his heart that this yard had to be rented no matter what. After all, their three families needed to rent a house, and there were only three vacant yards here.

"Patriarch Zhao, we have rented both courtyards. After we have seen the Zhou family's courtyard, we will discuss the details with you."

This news was a great shock to Patriarch Zhao. He had thought that the two courtyards were the same. People did not like the first one, and they also did not like the second one.

Unexpectedly, they were all rented out.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you to the Zhou family right away."

As Patriarch Zhao spoke, he made a gesture of invitation, intending to personally send Mo Jiuye and his wife to the Zhou family.

"No need, I'll show them the yard myself."

Patriarch Zhou followed them from a distance, thinking that after they had seen the Zhao family's yard, his Zhou family would have nothing to do anymore. He followed them just to watch the fun.

Unexpectedly, someone suggested going to their Zhou family to see the yard.

With such a good thing happening, how could Patriarch Zhou not be more proactive?

Patriarch Zhou looked much older than Patriarch Zhao and walked a little slower.

The advantage is that the residences of the two families are not far from each other, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk there.

The Zhou family's courtyard was indeed larger than the two courtyards of the Zhao family, just as Patriarch Zhou said.

It is also a mud-brick house, with six main rooms, two east and two west wing rooms, and the entire courtyard is rectangular.

There is also a vegetable garden in the backyard, which covers an area of ​​one acre.

Although they are all adobe houses, they are much larger than the Zhao family's yard, and there is a well in the middle of the yard.

Comparing the three houses, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran like this one more.

However, with the Xie family and the Fang family still around, it would be difficult for them to make the decision first.

At least inform the other two companies before making a decision.

Mo Jiuye still asked about the price first: "Patriarch Zhou, how much is the rent for this yard?"

The Zhou clan leader smiled and said, "The Zhao family's yard is not as big as mine, and the rent is 200 coins per month. My place is a little bigger, so how about 300 coins?"

He was afraid that if he asked for too high a price, people would refuse to rent the house, and he would lose a lot of income.

Compared with the Zhao family's house, this price is very fair.

Mo Jiuye nodded without hesitation: "Okay, we will rent this yard as well."

The northwest is relatively cold in winter and there is a possibility of snow. Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran have already checked that basically every room has a brick bed. This not only keeps them warm, but also saves them the trouble of not having a bed temporarily.

Therefore, Mo Jiuye decided to move in tonight. Although the house was a bit deserted because no one lived in it all year round, it was still warmer than living in a tent.

Having made up his mind, Mo Jiuye spoke up: "Two clan leaders, we plan to move in overnight. Do you have any objections?"

"No problem, no problem. If you need help, we can all help." Patriarch Zhao said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go tell my family to move."

After he finished speaking, Mo Jiuye pulled He Zhiran and strode towards the foot of the mountain.

Everyone is still awake at this time.

Fifth brother also came back from the east house at this moment. Although he still looked a little weak, he would be fine as long as he didn't make any big movements.

Besides, he has always been taken care of by his fifth sister-in-law, so there is no need to worry.

After they returned, they told the good news.

When they heard that the yard had been rented, everyone seemed very excited.

They still remembered the biting cold wind in the tent last night. Thinking of that cold, they all felt a little reluctant to sleep.

Now that they have finally rented a yard, they won’t have to suffer the cold tonight.

After everyone was excited, Mo Jiuye told them about the three courtyards and asked the Xie and Fang families which one they wanted to rent.

There is no doubt that the Fang family and the Xie family have been following the Mo family's lead, and the good courtyards must of course be given to them.

The two families took the initiative to propose to rent the two courtyards of the Zhao family respectively, and leave the largest courtyard of the Zhou family to the Mo family.

Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran had already taken a liking to the Zhou family's courtyard and had no objection to this.

After the agreement was reached, everyone got up and packed their luggage.

They were all exiles, and had nothing with them except some luggage and a few simple daily necessities. Moving was very simple, as each person only needed to carry some items.
