Chapter 73 - Rent House
"Hur hur, I stayed at home for a few more days." The Lee's laughed.
"Mom, Big Brother and I will go and find out about the matter regarding the shop. You and Dad can stay here for now." Mo Xiao Yan was already itching to rent a shop, now that he had saved up enough money, renting a shop would definitely not be a problem.
"Is this child in such a hurry to go?" Lee's did not want to let her rent it. She thought to herself that it would be good to set up a stall outside, there was no need to pay.
"That's right, then Big Bro and I will go take a look, father and mother." Mo Xiao Yan had to ask around for information today.
"Let's go. We'll just watch from here." Mo Da Lin said.
"Hey, Xiao Yan, where are you going?" Chen Zi Mo said with a smile.
"Let me ask around. Where in this town would we rent a shop? I'd like to rent a shop." Mo Xiao Yan stopped and said.
"I know, let's go. I'll bring you there." Chen Zi Mo said.
"Is the place you know expensive?" Mo Xiao Yan was a little hesitant.
"No, he's a friend I know." Chen Zi Mo also guessed that Mo Xiao Yan was afraid that it would be too expensive.
At the moment, he did not know where the rented store was located. Since Chen Zi Mo knew about it, he might as well take a look with him.
"Alright, let's go with big brother to take a look." Mo Xiao Yan asked Mo Lin Yu.
"Mm, that's fine too. Let's go take a look." Mo Lin Yu also agreed.
When they arrived at a street that was slightly better, with a lot of people, he followed Chen Zi Mo into the shop. Seeing that the inside of the shop was rather large and clean, Mo Xiao Yan liked it immediately.
"Zimo, you're here?" A middle-aged man in his forties walked out from inside.
"Uncle Zhou, I've brought a friend here to take a look at your rented store." Chen Zi Mo stated his intention for coming.
Zhou An Ping looked at Mo Xiao Yan and Mo Lin Yu, and said: "Is it you guys who are here to rent a shop?"
"Mm, I just wonder what your price is?" Since Mo Xiao Yan had set his eyes on the shop, he did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point and asked for the price.
"This store is rented out on a yearly basis. Do you think that's okay?" Zhou Anping asked.
"That's fine too. How much is it a year?" Mo Xiao Yan directly asked for the price.
"This year is only twelve taels of silver. What do you think?" Zhou Anping saw that Mo Xiao Yan and the others knew Chen Zi Mo, so he named the lowest price.
Mo Xiao Yan saw that the place was huge and had all sorts of furniture. This street had the most traffic in people, so 12 taels of silver a year was not too expensive.
Mo Xiao Yan pulled Mo Lin Yu outside to ask for his opinion, Mo Lin Yu was also very satisfied with the store's price, but he also accepted the offer, so Mo Xiao Yan decided to rent this shop.
"I'll go get the silver first, we'll rent this shop." Mo Xiao Yan said with a smile.
"Xiao Yan, there's no need to go through all that trouble. I have something for you." Chen Zi Mo took out 12 silver out of his money bag.
"Alright, I'll bring it over to you later." Mo Xiao Yan didn't hold back.
After he finished renting the shop, Chen Zi Mo originally wanted to leave, but he insisted on letting her pay him back the silver.
Reaching the stall, Mo Xiao Yan asked: "Mother, do you have money for what you took? was the one who gave us the rent earlier. "
"I didn't bring that much with me. I didn't expect to rent out the shop so soon. How about this? We can take it to the Chen family when we get back in the afternoon." Lee's never thought that he would rent this shop so quickly, so he didn't bring any silver.
"There's no rush, Xiao Yan, I will go over first." Chen Zi Mo seemed to have something up his sleeve.
"Then I'll bring it to you this afternoon." Mo Xiao Yan was a little embarrassed.
After Chen Zi Mo left, the Lee's hurriedly pulled Mo Xiao Yan over and asked: "Xiao Yan, how much did you spend on renting a room?"
"Mom, twelve silver taels a year isn't too expensive." Mo Xiao Yan knew that the Lee's was most concerned about the price.
"What?" Twelve taels of silver? This is too expensive. " When Lee's heard that renting a shop cost twelve taels, he felt his heart ache.
"Mom, that area is pretty good. The store is also quite big. You'll know when you come with us to take a look later." Mo Lin Yu said.
"Father, mother, I want us to put the things here today and clean them up later." Mo Xiao Yan wanted to move in as soon as possible. After all, setting up a stall outside would be very troublesome.
"Then hurry up and pack up." Mo Da Lin started to clean up first.
Lee's was rather satisfied with the shop and started to clean it.
"Xiao Yan, the sky is getting dark. Let's go back first." The Lee's said.
"Alright, then we'll come back tomorrow and clean it up. That should be enough." Mo Xiao Yan patted the dust off his hands and laughed.
On the way back, it even started to rain heavily. The few of them sat on the ox-carts, not even having anything to hide from the rain.
After returning home, they were soaked from head to toe in the rain. Mo Xiao Yan and Mo Xiao Xia both trembled coldly.
Lee's went to change into some dry clothes and then went to the kitchen to make ginger soup.
After drinking a bowl of ginger soup to warm themselves up, they finally felt much better.
Mo Xiao Yan felt a little dizzy, so he went to sleep.
In the morning, Mo Xiao Yan no longer felt pain in his head. Fortunately, he had eaten a little better in normal times.
"Xiao Yan, is there anything wrong with your body?" Lee's was worried that he might get sick from the rain yesterday.
"Mother, I'm fine. Your daughter is in good health." Mo Xiao Yan said while grinning.
"This girl, it's good as long as you're fine. Come and eat then. What are you going to do after you've finished eating? Go to town." Lee's had already prepared breakfast.
Usually, Mo Xiao Yan didn't like eating porridge, but this morning he had eaten two bowls of porridge and a few pancakes. It was probably because he hadn't eaten anything last night, but now he was extremely hungry.
Once they entered the town, Mo Xiao Yan went into the shop, while the Lee's and the others busied themselves setting up stalls.
"Xiao Yan, how is it?" A familiar voice rang out.
"So it's you. Why did you come to town so early?" Mo Xiao Yan saw that Chen Zi Mo had arrived rather early.
"I've been living in town lately, and I haven't been back." Chen Zi Mo said with a smile.
Rich people are willful. They can live wherever they want to.
"Then why did you come to the shop so early? Could it be that you want to help me?" Mo Xiao Yan joked.
"Yeah, I'm here to help you. I even brought a helper with me." The helper that Chen Zi Mo had mentioned was obviously his follower, Xiao Qi.
