The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 238 Mo Hong’s daughter sold and gained an uncle (6)

 The next day, Mo Yan and his daughter took a carriage to Changshan Academy.

Changshan Academy is located in the east of the city, on the edge of the capital. Originally, this place was not prosperous and could even be said to be poor. Since Changshan Academy was located here, people here have seized the opportunity to open restaurants, tea shops, bookstores, etc. nearby to specialize in business for students. Gradually, a line of business has been formed. Bustling commercial street.

 Usually after school, the streets are full of students from the academy, making it very lively.

At this time, there were classes in the academy and there were not many people on the street. The three of them searched along the street for a short time before they found the owner who specialized in renting houses.

 The houses nearby are indeed in short supply, with only three left.

 There is a large suite with three bedrooms, one living room and one kitchen. It is light and airy, and the decoration inside is also very good.

 The other two rooms are smaller, with only one bedroom and one kitchen. The rooms are relatively spacious. They are fully equipped with beds, tables, bookcases, and are still 80% new. It is not bad for one person to live in.

The rent for a big house is high, costing ten taels of silver a month, which is not affordable for ordinary students. The rent for two smaller rooms also costs three taels of silver a month. One of the rooms is not well lit, but it is half a tael cheaper.

Mo Yan actually wanted to rent the big room, but Mo Qingze disagreed and refused to take it at any cost. She had no choice but to rent the small room with good light and paid the rent for a year at a time.

 After collecting the rental receipt, the three of them bought a set of pots and pans on the street. As for bedding, etc., I have a lot at home, so I don’t have to buy them on the street, which are expensive and of average quality.

Mo Yan rolled up her sleeves again and cleaned the house inside and out. Looking at the clean room, she felt a strange sense of satisfaction in her heart.

After everything was packed up in the house and just waiting to move things in, it was already noon and it was too late to go home for dinner. The three of them found a small restaurant and ordered four or five dishes to satisfy their hunger.

There are several small restaurants like this nearby. Mo Yan doesn't know how other restaurants taste. This one is just average. She is lucky that her father can cook. Otherwise, if she eats out for a long time, the food may not be the same as the food in the big cafeteria. Both.

 After dinner, the three of them went back in the carriage.

 Mo Qingze loaded all the personal belongings that needed to be brought, the books he would use, and bedding and other items into the carriage, and asked Li Zhong to take them to the rented house.

On the third day, Li Zhong took Li Xiu and his nephew to find Mo Yan and his daughter, insisting on going to the Yamen to handle the deed.

“I have been busy before, so I have been putting off this matter. Now is the time to do it, otherwise the old man will not be at ease, haha!” Li Zhong stroked his beard and laughed, without any trace of reluctance on his face.

"Uncle Zhong, your family has a legitimate reason to live here, so there is no need to really sell yourself!" Mo Qingze also wanted to persuade him.

“That’s right, Grandpa Li, you don’t sell yourself to my family, but you are also doing things for my family. What difference does it make whether you sell yourself or not?” Mo Yan also advised.

I originally thought that after such a long delay, the Li family's determination to sell themselves would loosen, but I didn't expect that Grandpa Li was still so insistent.

Li Zhong smiled and said: "This has been agreed before, and our family is also willing to do so. You, father and daughter, should stop trying to persuade us. What's more, the people in the village don't know about this, and it doesn't hinder our family. We Just do as you said before.”

Li Xiu's aunt and nephew also expressed their strong wishes. They only said that if the Mo family didn't buy them, they would have no shame to stay in the Mo family anymore.

The three members of the Li family were very insistent, and even Mo Yan's father and daughter's last dry words failed to convince them, so they had no choice but to agree.
