Chapter 596 Forgot, the rent is overdue



The next morning, Yunxu was cooking at home, while Yuntian took Tiles, Stone and the other two out to buy clothes.

After coming back, I washed up, had dinner and started preparing to set up the stall.

Apart from Yuntian, Wa Pian is the oldest among them.

There are many people today, so Yuntian plans to sell more tortoise jelly, so he brings tiles and a shoulder pole. He will push four buckets of tiles on a cart and carry two buckets of tiles on the shoulder pole.

Yun Xu took the other three to set up the stall first, and while doing so he taught them how to shout.

Not long after the stall was set up, Yuntian, Wapian and others arrived.

Yunxu asked the younger Xiaoyu and Heiwa to stand in front of the stall and shout.

When they were beggars, they had done all sorts of things! They had no idea what shame or embarrassment was, and they just started shouting at the top of their lungs.

The two of them were still shouting and competing with each other. Half of the street was filled with the sound of their shouting. The other vendors shouted their throats out but could not suppress them at all.

Passersby on the street who had never eaten tortoise jelly liked to watch the fun when they had nothing to do. They all gathered in front of the stall and saw Yuntian and Yunxu sweating profusely just from busy packing the tortoise jelly.

I was curious about how delicious the tortoise jelly was, so I joined the queue, and then there were even more people.

Wa Pian was busy serving tortoise jelly to the guests, while Shi Tou was busy collecting and washing the dishes. Later, when he was too busy to handle it all, he called Hei Wa to help wash the dishes.

Because there were more people today and business was good, even though they took some more tortoise jelly, they still closed the stall half an hour earlier than usual.

After closing the stall and returning home to cook some noodles for dinner, they pushed the cart together to buy things for another stall.

When passing by a furniture shop, they went in to ask about beds, but found that the prices were ridiculously high. After discussing it with the shopkeeper, they bought some usable scraps, intending to use these wooden boards to build a simple bed when they got back.

Then I bought some cushioning and coverings, and finally went to check out another stall that I was going to set up tomorrow before taking the things back.

After arriving home, although they were sweating profusely, they still insisted on setting up the wooden bed before stopping to rest.

Although they were all exhausted, they couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.

From today on, they finally have a decent home.

We chatted excitedly in the yard all night, and finally we couldn't take it anymore and prepared to go back to our room to sleep.

A few brats were used to being sloppy and wanted to go to bed without washing their faces and feet. Yuntian dragged them off the bed one by one and took them to the yard to teach them a lesson.

"From today on, you are not allowed to go to bed without washing your face and feet at night. You are not allowed to go out without washing your face and brushing your teeth in the morning. You are not allowed to eat without washing your hands before meals."

What else could they do? They could only force themselves to go to the kitchen to get some water to wash their faces and feet!

Not only that, Yuntian also arranged shifts for them. Except for Xiaoyu and Yunxu, the two youngest, the others took turns getting up early to cook, including himself.

If anyone gets up late to cook and makes everyone go hungry, he will be punished by not being allowed to have breakfast for three days.

Since Yuntian had made the previous breakfasts, the next one to go was Waipian, followed by Shitou and Heiwa.

When Wa Pian learned that he had to get up to make breakfast the next day, he was afraid that he would not be able to get up, so he did not dare to delay any longer. He immediately washed up quickly and got into bed, and fell asleep almost the moment he lay down.

Yuntian is full of energy and everything is going well. Xiaokang and Xiaoqi are still working hard all night to prepare for next year's county exam.

After instructing Pingxing and Pingsheng in advance to remember to deliver rice, flour, grain and oil to Yuntian and the others, he completely ignored them.

A month later, when the college was on break, the two of them happened to remember this matter. After refusing to go to the farm with Tian An, they hurried to the small courtyard rented for Yuntian and others that afternoon.

They actually forgot that they had paid one month's rent to the landlord, which has now long been overdue.

When they thought that Yuntian and the others might be kicked out by the landlord, they felt guilty and kept saying to Pingxing and Pingsheng, "You didn't even remind them. Really, if they really get kicked out, this young master will let you two go find them."

Pingxing and Pingsheng also felt guilty. To save trouble, they directly sent a month's supply of food and oil over and never went to check again. Later, they forgot about it.

When they hurried to the courtyard and opened the door, they were greeted by more than a dozen pairs of black eyes.

Xiaokang thought he had taken the wrong path, so he went back and looked at the gate. After making sure that it was the right one, he came in again.

I saw several tables put together to form a long table, and eight or nine children of all ages were sitting in front of the long table with their bowls in their hands, waiting for dinner.

Xiaokang looked one by one, but saw that Yuntian and Yunxu were not among the children. Just when he thought they had been driven away by the landlord.

Yuntian heard the noise in the kitchen and came out. When he saw Xiaokang and his three friends, he was very surprised and asked the other children to give up their stools for them to sit on.

Yun Xu also came out at this time and ran towards the two of them excitedly, "Master Kang, Master Qi, you are finally here."

Yuntian and Yunxu often told other children about Xiaokang and Xiaoqi, and they learned that these were the two noble young masters that the Yuntian brothers mentioned.

Their eyes looking at the two of them were immediately filled with admiration and gratitude.

Xiaokang pointed at the children and looked at Yuntian, feeling a little uncomfortable. "He, they are..."

Yuntian hurriedly introduced them to him, "These are the brothers and sisters who used to beg with us. The young master asked me to help him find people to expand the stall, so I found them."

Xiaokang was embarrassed to say that he had forgotten about it, so he casually asked, "How many stalls have you opened now?"

Yun Xu, standing by, said with a guilty look on his face, "We're too slow. We've only opened three stalls in such a long time. Including the first one we opened, there are now four stalls in total. Moreover, there are three people tending to each stall."

As he said this, he looked guilty and didn't dare to look at Xiaokang and Xiaoqi.

If you open three stalls in a month, that means you open one every ten days!

Xiaokang suppressed his shock and asked, "So what is the daily sales volume of each stall..."

This time, Yun Xu was full of pride as he said, "Now, the daily sales of each of our stalls can basically remain at around 300."

Xiaokang nodded calmly, then asked guiltily, "What about the rent for the yard?"

Speaking of this, Yuntian became short of breath and said with an apologetic look on his face, "The landlord came to tell us that our rent has expired, and we couldn't find the young master for a while, so I, I took the initiative to extend it for another month.

Yuntian did not ask for instructions from the Young Master in advance, so please punish me."

As he said this, he suddenly knelt on the ground, which startled Xiaokang and made him feel even more guilty. What a sin he had committed!

The children beside him saw Yuntian kneeling down, and they were no longer in a hurry to eat. They ran to Yuntian and knelt down to beg for mercy: "Master Kang, Brother Tian acted on his own because of us. Please forgive him this time! If you want to punish you, punish us!"
