"What do you want to pawn? Take it out, I'll take a look. ”

Grandpa looked at the owner of the pawnshop, and then looked at the wooden board next to him with some simple rental information, he pointed to the black sign and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper misunderstood, we don't have anything to pawn, we just want to rent a house now." ”

The shopkeeper's brows suddenly relaxed, he greeted them with a smile, looked at them and said with a smile: "In this way, there are indeed a lot of houses for rent here, how big do you want to rent for how long?"

"You can have a small yard with five houses, and it doesn't matter how long you can rent it, at least for a year. And we just moved back from out of town and don't have much silver, so it's good that the shopkeeper can find us a cheaper one. ”

The shopkeeper's face was full of smiles and said: "You can rest assured about this, our pawnshop is also handed down from our ancestors, and there must be no problem with the reputation, come and take a few people to see the house." ”

He beckoned lightly, a young man with a light gray turban tied to his head immediately walked out of it, habitually looked the old man up and down, and a few girls said with a smile: "A few of you come with me." ”

The smile on the young man's face disappeared from the pawnshop's door, and he quickly led them to a long-abandoned yard where the brick-paved road was covered with grass. The window paper was in tatters, and the roof was covered with cobwebs.

The young man said unhurriedly: "Uncle, although this house has been abandoned for a long time, this house is still very cheap, and there are three houses and a small courtyard, and you will be charged one or two silver a month." What do you think?"

Shu Wei looked at the shopkeeper a little angrily and said: "Why are you like this, my grandfather said that he wants a yard for five houses, how can we live in these three houses? ”

Shu Shu felt that it didn't matter, this yard would definitely be very warm if it was cleaned well, and she didn't mind living with her sisters at all. But she looked at her grandfather's expression a little serious, so she didn't say anything, just stood there and helped Shu Xian.

The shopkeeper sighed and said helplessly: "It's okay if you want five houses, but the yard is at least five taels of silver per month." You can count that you can buy a house in a year. And there's only one tael of silver here, and you can ...... the rest of your money."

Shu Wei interrupted the shopkeeper again, and said a little angrily: "Didn't you understand me? Let me take us to the courtyard of five houses instead of only three houses here, how do you let us live?"

Grandpa glared at Shu Wei, looked at the shopkeeper and said with a kind smile: "Little brother, do you know something? Is the house rented out by this shopkeeper very expensive? It is much more expensive than that in other places." ”

The little brother looked around and said, "You also saw it when you were at the door, many gamblers will come with the deed to mortgage, as long as the deed comes in, I don't see anyone will redeem it." The shopkeepers of these houses are rented out, so it's better for you to live in a cheap one. You can lower the price for him, and you can see that there are very few people who rent his house, and there are more people buying and selling. ”

Grandpa looked at him, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you, young man." Can the deed you just got repossessed be rented out as well?"

The shopkeeper immediately nodded and said, "That's natural, I looked at the deed of their house, it's still a big yard, there are seven or eight houses." If you want to see it, I'll have them blown away right now. ”

Shu Shu remembered the poor woman, and she also said that there were still a pair of children to support at home. They should be in a very difficult situation right now.

Shu Wei's brows tightened tightly when she thought of what had just happened, if it weren't for her, that woman might have been able to keep her house. She said hesitantly: "Grandpa, otherwise let's go and have a look, that woman doesn't know what's going on." ”

Grandpa looked at Shu Wei's eyes and said with some seriousness: "How is it? Little brother, take us to have a look." ”

The little potatoes mostly turned back and forth in the pockets of the bunch, and the whole person felt bad listening to them. Isn't it just looking for a house, but it hasn't settled down yet, the buns are getting cold, and his stomach is gurgling.

"Sister Zhu, I'm really going to starve to death if I go on like this. What should you do, can you get me a bun first?"

When Shu Shu heard Little Potato speak, he immediately covered his pocket and looked around, but there was no response to Little Potato. Grandpa said that in the world, if the little potato is seen, it will definitely be beaten to death. She looked at the paper bag containing the buns, and if she let the little potatoes eat in her pockets, the oil and water in the buns would definitely stain her clothes.

"Bear with me...... It's not going to be inconvenient at all. ”

Little Potato's mouth pouted with helplessness. He was grabbed by Shu Shu and couldn't move, and his whole face turned green.

"Hmph, you're just going to starve me to death......" Shu Shu ignored his complaints.

Shu Shu was afraid that he would jump out of his anger, so he pressed his pockets and followed his grandfather to the big mansion together, and walked for almost two quarters of an hour before he reached the door of the courtyard.

This yard is in the middle of the town, close to the street, and it is very convenient to live here if you want to buy something. The wooden gate of the courtyard had two rusty iron rings swaying back and forth.

Suddenly, there was a cry from the courtyard, and the queen retreated suddenly, she looked at the courtyard and then looked at her grandfather and said, "What's the situation here?"

Shu Wei originally wanted to go in immediately, but when she saw her grandfather standing not far away watching her, she stopped. Quietly waiting for grandpa's next move.

followed by the child's cry, heartbreaking, Shu Wei couldn't hold back anymore and ran in directly. I saw a woman holding two children half-lying on the ground, her face full of tears. The two children were very frightened and cried loudly in their mother's arms, their little eyes red.

A few big men came out of the room, pointed at the woman and said, "Let you pack up your things quickly and get out, if you just don't clean up, I don't think you want it! Since you don't want it, I'll throw it away for you!"

The woman cried out and said, "These are all things that I have worked so hard to do, don't still, I'll leave when I'm gone, I'll pack up and leave, uncle, will you give us an hour for this orphan and widow?"
