Now the opportunity has come, and separation is what everyone wants.
The place Qin Zhao lived in was owned by the Chen family, and after the family split up, it was bound to change hands. Whether he could continue to live there and how the rent would be calculated would all depend on the new owner's wishes.
Now it seems that the new owner is probably Chen Yanan's family.
Hearing this question, Chen Yanan's face flashed with displeasure, and he said angrily: "Why are you asking so many questions? Just go and raise the money quickly."
Qin Zhao asked again, "You came all the way here just to remind me of this?"
"Who came here specially? I just happened to be passing by!"
Qin Zhao looked at him silently.
The Chen family now lives at the easternmost end of the village, and the stream where they are now is at the westernmost end. It is too far to pass by...
Chen Yan'an's face was a little embarrassed, and he changed the subject: "You should take care of yourself! If I'm not mistaken, you've already owed nine months. My grandmother allows you to pay the rent annually, but my mother won't. Sixty-five wen a month, that's almost six hundred wen in total. Can you afford it?"
Qin Zhao naturally couldn't hand it over now.
He was very ill during the winter and had almost no savings left.
The scrolls sorted out today can be exchanged for 200 coins, plus the money from selling herbs a few days ago, the total amount that can be taken out is only 365 coins, which is almost half of what is left.
If he publishes one volume of book every five days, and the Chen family is willing to give him a few more days, he should be able to collect enough money.
But that is under the circumstances where you don’t eat, drink or buy medicine.
But the actual situation is that Qin Zhao has to buy medicine every ten days, and it costs at least three hundred coins.
This is also the reason why his life has always been very difficult.
Qin Zhao didn't answer for a moment, and Chen Yan'an was even more proud: "I knew you couldn't come up with it. How about you try to beg me, and let me ask my mother to give you some more time?"
"No need." Qin Zhao said calmly, "I will do my best."
"Try your best? If you really tried your best, you wouldn't take advantage of my grandma's kindness and refuse to leave." Chen Yan'an snorted coldly and mocked, "You've been in our village for three years, and you still can't even pay the rent. Do you use your money to buy medicine to treat your illness, or do you squander it on those shady places—"
Qin Zhao's eyes moved slightly, revealing a hint of coldness.
When Chen Yanan met his gaze, his voice suddenly stopped.
Qin Zhao retracted his gaze and said in a gentle voice, "Yan'an, since you are studying in the private school in this town, your teacher should have taught you what it means to be cautious in what you say and do."
"Also, filial piety comes first among all virtues. The Chen family's grandmother is still alive, and you're spreading the news of a split. This is inappropriate."
Chen Yanan was inexplicably frightened by his gaze and blurted out, "What does my family's affairs have to do with you? What kind of good person are you—"
Before he could finish his words, a splash of water suddenly appeared beside him.
The next moment, something slammed into his knees, and Chen Yanan lost his balance and fell awkwardly into the water. A bright red shadow flashed by in his peripheral vision.
"What's this--!"
Jing Li rose from the water, swung her beautiful tail, and slapped Chen Yanan cleanly.
