Five thousand taels of silver for a three-room house. Not to mention a small town like Jincheng City, even the capital city had its own share of it. He didn't know if he was afraid of her going back on her word, but the granny broker moved very quickly. In just an hour, she had already signed the housing deed for her. Not only that, she had even gotten her household register for her.

Looking at the house deed and household register in her hands, Nona couldn't help but sigh … Is this considered a bonus?

However, having an household register was a good thing. This way, he and Min'er wouldn't be considered refugees, so he didn't have to worry about that anymore.

"Sigh!"

Originally, Nona's household register should have been somewhere in the small village, but when she first came out, she had never thought of never going there again. Naturally, she had never thought about the household register, but since she encountered a disaster with a low standard, she was always busy escaping along the way.

Most of the places they passed by were deserted. Even if they could barely hold on, the yamen was still closed for fear of any trouble coming to the door.

Who cares so much?

"I can finally relax now …"

Yes, with the residence registration, he could finally feel at ease.

However …

But the price of peace of mind was really a bit big, 5000 taels of silver …

Damn, she got the majority of her silver from Situ Jin. But later on, she bought some food and spent it on all kinds of things. This time, she spent 5000 taels of silver just to buy this house. As a result, the amount of money she had left added up to less than a thousand taels of silver …

Originally, if this amount of silver was in an ordinary situation, it would be more than enough for an ordinary family. At the very least, an ordinary family would not need this much silver in their lifetime.

But... But now things are not right...

She had originally planned to find a way to buy some medicinal ingredients after making up her mind … After all, even though there were medicines in the Space, they all needed to be exchanged. Compared to the love that he didn't know how to get, even though it was troublesome to directly use medicines to exchange them, there was still a place to find the medicines.

However … But now, not even silver was left … I'm afraid there's nothing more than medicinal herbs...

"Ai …" What a tragedy! "It really is a tragedy …"

She threw herself onto the bed and couldn't help but wail. This f * cking f * cking life, he really was living it in extreme sorrow. She had originally thought that he would finally find a place to settle down, so she didn't have to be on tenterhooks every day, but … However, who would have thought that buying a house would cause him to almost run out of silver …

"Elder sister …"

Min'er timidly looked at Nona and rubbed her hands together, not daring to approach her.

She had never seen Jiu Niang like this. She said she was happy, but it didn't seem like it. She said she wasn't happy, so it seemed like … However, she could clearly feel that her elder sister was unhappy, and very unhappy at that … But why is my sister unhappy? She couldn't figure it out no matter how she thought about it …

"Come, come …" Min'er, we'll be poor in the future! "

He beckoned Min'er to come to his side. Min'er didn't suspect him, so she obediently stepped forward, allowing Jiu Niang to carry her.

Holding Min'er and resting her chin on Min'er's shoulder, Jiu Niang dejectedly muttered, "Poor people, poor people …" "In one night, I returned to before the liberation …"

That's right, it had truly returned to before liberation in a single night.

He felt that his pocket was suddenly empty, and his heart seemed to have been emptied as well … It was strange. He had not used any money a few days ago, but now it was useful. He should have been happy about it, but he was not happy about Mao.

"Poor people?"

She obediently let Jiu Niang hug her. Min'er doubtfully blinked her large eyes as she looked at her, puzzled.

Sister is so strange, haven't they always been poor?

Along the way, if the two of them didn't have enough to eat and didn't wear warm clothes, what else could they be if they weren't poor people?

Oh, yes, sister is not poor!

Big sister is so rich … I took out five thousand taels of silver in one go …

After thinking for a long time, Min'er shook her head vigorously. She got up from Jiu Niang's embrace and said with a serious expression, "Not poor, big sister is not poor!"

Yes, elder sister is not poor at all. She has never seen so much silver in five thousand taels. However, without batting an eye, Big Sister took it out. Big Sister is very rich, not poor at all …

"Not poor? Woo woo … * Elder sister is almost destitute to death! In the future, we really won't have any money to spend … "So we won't be able to eat the restaurant's food …" Jiu Niang hugged Min'er with a tearful face. When she thought that she only had this much money and could no longer afford to go to a restaurant to eat and drink in the future, she felt an unspeakable pain in her heart.

It wasn't easy for him to escape from this place alive. He thought that he would be able to live a peaceful life, but … However, in one night, he had become a pauper. He clearly knew where the delicious food was, but he still couldn't eat. This was truly taking Qing Qing's life.

"Min'er won't eat with sister!"

Eating like that once in a lifetime was already a great enjoyment. Min'er never dared to think about it in the future, so she didn't understand what Ninth Mother was sad about, but … Still, she obediently reached out to hug Jiu Niang. She timidly consoled her, "It's great that you're with big sister. Right now, we don't need to worry about being eaten by bad people …"

The soft and gentle voice of a child was murmuring in a low voice … That soft tone made people involuntarily think of children muttering to themselves. However, if one were to pay close attention, they would realize that every word she said and every word she said was …

"Hiss!"

Nona could not help but suck in a breath of cold air as her agitated heart slowly calmed down.

Yes, what was he worrying about? What was he feeling depressed about? It was already a great fortune to be alive these days. What else was there to complain about? If he hadn't escaped, he might have already been cooked and eaten like an animal. Although he didn't have much silver on him, he had plenty of food in his space. As long as he had food, he wouldn't have to worry about starvation.

Thinking of this, Nona's agitated heart began to calm down.

"Thank you, Min!"

The silent little girl's head was filled with gratitude from the bottom of her heart.

To be honest, she didn't even notice that the events that had happened on the way here had affected her so much.

It was because he felt insecure that he felt nervous and worried after paying a large amount of money. It was all the aftereffects of running for his life. Fortunately, Min'er had warned her. Otherwise, she might have to continue struggling.

"Sis, I'm so sleepy."

Shrinking into Ninth Mother's embrace, Min'er's drooping head continuously clashed with her lower eyelids.

All along the way, they were so busy that they didn't even dare to take a casual rest. It wasn't easy to enter the city, and after eating a full meal, they felt like their empty stomachs were finally full … She started to feel sleepy after eating her fill, but in the end she had no choice but to muster up her spirit to look around the house for a few hours …

Now that she was finally settled, she naturally couldn't hold on any longer.

"Okay, let's go to sleep! "Today, there's only a single quilt. We'll sleep together, and tomorrow morning when the sun shines, we'll go buy a new quilt. At that time, Min Er will have her own room."

It was already late at night, so naturally, there was no place to buy things. Although there were all sorts of boxes and cabinets inside the house, there were no blankets on the bed. The only blanket was the one that the granny broker and her household register had given her … It must be the silver that she gave …

He had said that he would get a high reward if he found a house, but the price of the house was outrageously high … So in the end, Nona only meant to give him twenty taels …

However, even with these twenty silver taels, the granny broker was so happy that her teeth disappeared.

That adds up to thirty silver taels." For ordinary people, this formation was no small matter.

"Sleep, sleep …"

When they entered the city, it was already afternoon. They didn't expect that in just a few short hours, not only did they buy a house, but they also obtained a house contract, and they even had a household register attached to them … As they thought about it, Ninth Madame and Min'er snuggled up to each other and fell asleep …

But... They were asleep …

That night, however, many people were unable to sleep.

"What?" What did you say? Say that again? "

Inside the yamen, the old master who had just fallen asleep was picked out in the middle of the night. He did not care about his authority and directly jumped out after putting on his robe: "You, are you sure? This is no joke at all! "

"Master, what time do you think it is? How dare I joke with you? Look, this... "This was personally sent down by the higher-ups …"

Sweating profusely, Xu Qiuyi kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with a bitter face.

He didn't want it to be true either. These days... He was just a small merchant who only wanted to live a peaceful life. How could he expect to get himself involved in such a mess … However … However, this was the secret message from above. It would have been fine if he didn't know, but now that he had read it … If Inaction...

"This... This... What should I do, say... What do you think we should do? "

This time, the Prefect was also anxious. He was only half awake when he was dug out from his concubine's bed. Now that he still had a lump of paste in his head, there was nothing he could do about it.

He, a mere Prefect, is still a big deal in this Magnificent Brocade City, but …" But up... Just him … Wasn't this just a small official the size of a sesame seed? Killing him was as easy as crushing an ant to death … He had already passed his first year in life and had finally gotten to his current position. He originally wanted to spend the rest of his life in peace …

However … But how …

"If I knew, why would I have come to find you?"

Xu Mantian's face was full of awkwardness as well.

Although he was a businessman, the Xu family was still in the capital, and this news came from there.

This Prefect was also a distant relative of the Xu family, and he grew up together with this Xu Mi, who had grown up in open pants … As for the Xu family, they had taken root in the capital, and their relationship was twisted and intertwined …

Even so, this was the first time Xu Million had received such an important piece of news.

"You … You... "Forget it, forget it. Allow me to think, think …"

The Prefect stared hatefully at Xu Qiuyi, but in the end, he could only wave his hand.

This was a huge matter. There was no room for confusion or confusion … Although Xu Bian was smart, he was still a businessman …

"How about this, we'll leave the city in the middle of the night! He had to get someone! Otherwise, let's not talk about you and me anymore, I'm afraid … "I'm afraid the entire Xu family will suffer too …"

That person's identity is precious, if … If there was any mishap …

Thinking of this Prefect, how could he still sit down? Cold sweat trickled down his forehead as he constantly thought to himself that it was a good thing someone had already sent him a message, otherwise …
