Chapter 95 - 95 Rent Room
"You still want money? "Dream on, you only know how to be lazy after getting your wages every day. Don't even think about taking today's wages, it's already not bad that I didn't ask you to return the wages from a few days ago." Mo Xiao Yan would never give money to such a person for free.
"Do you want to renege on the debt?" Liu Fu Gui was definitely not willing to do so.
"Why should we pay you if you're not working? You sure are shameless. " Mo Xiao Yan said angrily.
"Not giving it to me? "Then I won't leave today." Liu Fu Gui said shamelessly.
"Fine, return the wages from the previous few days to us. I will give you today's wages." Mo Xiao Yan was not stupid.
"Impossible." Liu Fu Gui said with his eyes wide open.
Liu Fu Gui, you are always lazy from work, you eat the most at every meal, and work the least, don't you feel embarrassed? The other man also looked down on Liu Fu Gui.
After that, they started to talk at once, talking about Liu Fu Gui, making Liu Fu Gui feel like he was about to lose face, so he could only return in anger.
Since there was one less lazy person, the others could be relied on to do their work. All of them worked very hard, so Mo Xiao Yan would not be stingy with his meals.
After a few months of work, the house was finally completed. Mo Xiao Yan even bought a lot of new furniture, such as tables and chairs, which he brought back from town using an ox cart and placed in the new house.
He had also built a house on the side, so Mo Xiao Yan now had a room of his own.
The latrine was built according to Mo Xiao Yan's instructions. After going to the latrine, it would no longer smell as dirty as before, and would not be afraid of falling in.
After living in such a shabby house for so many years, they finally had a new one. The whole family was happy, but they had spent a lot of silver.
Furthermore, during the period of building the house, the shop had not opened for business and had no source of income. As a result, the family now had no more savings, and could only barely keep warm.
After tidying up the new house, he was ready to go into town the next day to do business.
It was winter now, and he shivered every morning when he left.
On the ox-cart, Mo Xiao Yan and Mo Xiao Xia leaned against each other to get warm. Lee's also kept rubbing his hands and it seemed that he was extremely cold as well.
"Mom, you said that we have to run back and forth every day in such cold weather. We can't stand the cold anymore. Why don't we ask around in the town and rent a house for a while? We don't need to run back and forth every day." Mo Xiao Yan said as he rubbed his red ears.
"I'm sure it'll cost me quite a bit of money to rent a room." How could the Lee's not be afraid of the cold? This year's weather was even colder than last year's, and they were already wearing thick clothes, but the cold was still unbearable.
"Let's go and check it out first. The cheaper ones should stay there first." Mo Xiao Yan thought that as long as the price wasn't too expensive and he could accept it, he would rent one first.
Father and Mother would live in the rented room, while Second Sister and herself would live in the empty room at the back of the shop.
"That's fine too." Lee's replied.
When they were washing things in the kitchen in the winter, even the water was bone chilling cold, and it was impossible to keep heating hot water all the time, so both Lee's and Mo Xiao Yan's hands were a little cold. At night, when they were warm under the bed, their hands were a little itchy, but fortunately it wasn't that bad, their hands were not swollen.
"Xiao Yan, where are you going in such a hurry?" A familiar voice rang out from not too far away.
Mo Xiao Yan looked towards the direction of the voice, it was Su Jin Xuan and Leng Qian Ye.
Since he saw it, he had to go and greet it, so Mo Xiao Yan decided to greet it first.
"Elder Brother Qian Ye, where are you guys going this early?" Mo Xiao Yan asked curiously.
"I went to the restaurant to eat just now, and I saw you right after I finished eating." Leng Qian Ye said with a smile.
"Why are you guys eating at a restaurant so early in the morning?" Mo Xiao Yan secretly ridiculed in his heart, was this the willfulness of a rich person?
"That's right, there are only two people in the mansion: me and Master." Leng Qian Ye did not know how to cook, so he could only come out to eat. It was impossible for someone like Su Jin Xuan to eat at a roadside stall, so it was always from a restaurant.
"Wasn't there an old granny when I went there last time?" Mo Xiao Yan asked.
"Master sent everyone in the manor away, leaving only the two of us here." Leng Qian Ye was also very helpless.
Hearing Leng Qian Ye say that, Mo Xiao Yan had probably thought about it, last time Su Jin Xuan said that the house was no longer safe, and might be afraid that other people would be implicated, so there were not even servants to clean and cook inside the house. Seems like this Su Jin Xuan was actually quite a nice person, it was just that he was not very friendly.
"Oh, so that's how it is. Then I have some matters to attend to so I'll be leaving first." Mo Xiao Yan thought that if the shop was not busy right now, he would go and check it out.
"Xiao Yan, what's the matter?" Leng Qian Ye casually asked.
"I want to find out where I can rent an empty house. I want to rent a room." Mo Xiao Yan did not hide from him.
"Oh, so it's like that. Then I won't disturb you any longer." Leng Qian Ye also prepared to go back.
"Wait." Just then, Su Jin Xuan spoke out.
After hearing Su Jin Xuan's voice, Mo Xiao Yan had no choice but to stop in his tracks.
"What's wrong?" Mo Xiao Yan didn't understand what he was doing.
"You want to rent a house?" Su Jin Xuan asked.
"Yeah, do you know where it is?" Mo Xiao Yan thought in his heart, how could he possibly have the kindness to tell her?
"Follow me." Su Jin Xuan said as if his words were gold.
Mo Xiao Yan also didn't have anything to ask, so he could only follow him.
The few of them turned left and right, arriving at a small courtyard.
"What did you bring me here for?" Mo Xiao Yan was a little confused.
"This house just so happens to be empty. You just happen to want to rent it, so I'll let you rent it." Su Jin Xuan said coldly.
"Is this your house?" Mo Xiao Yan was a little surprised.
"Yes, I've bought it." Su Jin Xuan said haughtily.
"How much does a month's rent cost?" I can't afford it. " Mo Xiao Yan saw that the house was not bad, there was a small courtyard with some flowers planted in the yard, the scenery was pretty good, and it was not far from the shop.
"Just wait and see." Su Jin Xuan initially wanted to stay empty so he just let them stay there. He never planned to collect money from them.
"Just look at it?" "So good?" Hearing his words, Mo Xiao Yan became excited for a moment.
