The village chief is also a discerning person. Looking at the way Father and Mother Du are dressed, you can tell that their life must have been pretty good. Looking at their ugly faces, you can tell that they must be dissatisfied with the place they live in. But now, there is nothing they can do. This is the only way. The house can accommodate people, but it is impossible for them to live in other houses.

The village chief said calmly: "Just clean it up, I won't disturb you anymore."

Du Wu noticed the difference in the village chief's attitude and looked at what his parents didn't understand. At this moment, he had some doubts about whether it was right to ask his parents to cancel their slavery? Of course, the thought only lasted a moment. Instead of being a slave who was beaten and scolded by others, it was better to be a commoner and feel more comfortable, at least his life was his own.

"Thank you, village chief. Please go slowly, village chief."

The village chief waved his hand and said it was nothing, turned around and went home.

Du Wu told his parents, "Mom and dad, this is how ordinary people live. I hope you will think clearly whether you should live a peaceful life here from sunrise to sunset, or go back to the Yan family and continue to be slaves. You are now If you regret it, it’s still too late.”

"You are old and don't want to farm. You can buy some good land and rent it out. You can support yourself just by collecting rent. However, the food, drink and use in the countryside will not be as good as those of the Yan family. You have to rely on yourself for everything. Go buy it, go earn it.”

"Mom and dad, I'll give you one night, and you'll give me an answer tomorrow morning."

After saying that, regardless of the reaction of the two of them, he went to clean up the room. He would not be able to return to Fucheng tonight.

Father Du and Mother Du were silent. They didn't know what to do. They originally thought they would live a good life after escaping from slavery, but they didn't expect to live such a hard life.

The village chief is usually the nicest person in the village, but just now I saw that the village chief's clothes were not as good as those of an ordinary boy in the Yan family, and his skin was rough. Thinking about how they would look like that in the future, both of them felt a little bit. Difficult to accept.

The two of them walked in and looked at the shabby house and the yard full of weeds. They felt even more disgusted. Suddenly a mouse ran past Mother Du's feet. Mother Du screamed in fright and hid behind Father Du. .

Du Wu came out and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Du Mu: "What a big rat, son, let's go back to the city tomorrow and don't live here anymore!"

Du Wu frowned: "Mom, the city is very dangerous now. Are you sure you want to go back? Isn't it normal for rats to appear in the countryside? Moreover, this house has not been inhabited for a long time. If you clean it up, there will be no snakes, insects, rats, ants, etc. It’s a common thing, you don’t have to worry about it.”

Du Mu refused to listen and cried to go back.

"Go back, go back tomorrow, isn't there Doctor Du in Fucheng? Since she can save these people, she can save the people in Fucheng, and nothing will happen to us if we go back."

Du's father didn't like it here either, so he let Du's mother complain.

Du Wu couldn't bear to see Du Mu's resistance, but finally gave in.

"Okay, I'll take you back tomorrow."

Du Mu's tears turned into a smile. The three of them simply stayed here for one night and rushed to Fucheng early the next morning without eating.

After the meal, the village chief wanted to come over and ask them if they had any needs. He didn't want the house to be empty and the stove to be unused. Was he leaving? !

The village chief shook his head and left. Doctor Du's good intentions were wasted!

Not long after noon, Du Wu and the others rushed back to Fucheng and stayed at Yunsheng Inn again.

After settling his parents properly, Du Wu went to Yuelai Inn to find Shui Miao.

Shui Miao looked at Du Wu who appeared without saying anything. She just thought that he would come back to tell her after finishing his work. Unexpectedly, she guessed wrong.

Du Wu stood there for a long time, hesitated for a long time and finally said: "My parents want to stay in Fucheng."

Shui Miao raised her eyes and glanced at him, "Oh, I understand, go down."

Du Wu felt a little panicked. He felt that he had done something wrong, but he didn't know what he had done wrong. He hesitated for a long time, but finally went out.

Shui Miao didn't take this matter to heart and ransomed them because Du Wu was still available, but now it seems that she was wrong.

Her future life will not be a life of peace and happiness. In this case, whether they live or die in the future has nothing to do with her.

Forget it about Du Wu, after all, there are many talents.

Du Wu didn't know that she had been eliminated by Shui Miao, but he felt that he was poisoned by Shui Miao, so he could still stay here to help her.

Thinking this way, I felt more at ease.

The next day, Shui Miao went out alone and asked passers-by to find the guarantor of Yaxing.

"I want to rent a house with a quieter environment and not too far from the government."

The guarantor's surname was Li. When Shui Miao said this, he felt that it was a big deal.

The houses near the government office are not cheap. Even if it is just the rent, he can get a lot of money from it.

I flipped through the brochure and found two suitable properties. "Sir, look, these two houses are more in line with your requirements. May I take you to see them?"

Shuimiao looked at the location. The government office was on Changning Street, and the two houses were also on Changning Street. One was next to the government office, and the other was in the center of the street.

"Let's go and check out the house next to the government office."

Li Baoren smiled and led the way.

When the two came to the house, Shui Miao looked at the surrounding environment and found that it was really quiet. Even if there were pedestrians passing by, there would be no noise.

Li Baoren took out the key and opened the door of the house. It was a two-entry house with nothing to see outside. Passing by the hanging flower door, there was a small pond inside. There were two or three lotuses blooming in the pond. There was also an osmanthus tree beside the pond. It’s not high, and it looks like it only takes two or three years to plant.

The furnishings in the room are also okay and quite in line with Shuimiao's taste.

"How much is the rent?"

Li Baoren looked sincere and said, "Two hundred taels a month." Worried that Shui Miao would find it too expensive, he continued: "Don't think this house is small, but it is next to the government office. It is safe. You don't have to worry about people who are looking for trouble. The environment is quiet. , especially in line with the preferences of you readers."

Shui Miao: "One hundred and fifty taels, I'll rent it."

Li Baoren: "Sir, you don't have to worry about renting out this house. Some people even want to buy it. Two hundred taels a month is really not expensive."

Shui Miao: "The house is small, and families with old people and children cannot live there. If you have money, it is better to buy a big house. The environment is good for scholars, but studying costs money. Rich people who study will arrange a clean place in their homes. There are very few people renting out of the courtyard. Besides, it’s right next to the government office. Common people generally don’t like to interact with people from the government office, let alone live next to it.”

"How about one hundred and fifty taels?"

Li Baoren: You have already said it, what else can I say, but in this way, he really has nothing to make money.

He gritted his teeth and said: "Sir, one hundred and sixty taels, you can at least let me earn some."

Shui Miao stared at him for a while and said, "Deal."

Li Baoren calmed down and thought to himself that this young master is really hard to fool.

"Okay, do you want to take a look at this other house?"

Shui Miao: "No."

Li Baoren: "Okay, let's go back and sign the deed."

After returning to Yahang, he completed the paperwork and got it stamped by the government, and Shui Miao was ready to move here.

By chance, Du Wu was staying with his parents at Yunsheng Inn, and Shui Miao was too lazy to send him away.

He packed up his things with Chunmei, left the room, and drove the carriage to Changning Street.

Du Ruiyang liked this house very much. He was excited to look here and there. He could see the house in less than two quarters of an hour, but he spent more than half an hour wandering around.
