Chapter 014: Thief
The landlord's eldest sister was not impatient at all, and responded: "Yes, let me tell you, my house is very good, the front shop is so big, and the back house is also very good, it is perfect to rent here." It's also your luck that there is no house on this street that is as big as mine, but the rent is so cheap. ”
"No matter how good the house is, it's useless if the feng shui is not good! Auntie, we have heard a lot about this house, and I guess many people outside also know about it. Xu Ning pulled the corners of his mouth and replied.
"Haha...... What is this...... It's all spread by the long-tongued woman outside...... "The landlord's eldest sister haha, she doesn't dare to brag about her house anymore, it seems that she can't deceive this family, she can't see the clothes she wears, she doesn't have much money, and she doesn't want to rent a house like her if she has money."
The yard is very large, but now there are a lot of weeds in it and it looks a little deserted, and there is a well, which is very convenient. There are three rooms inside, and the kitchen and toilet are very complete. It's just that it hasn't been inhabited for a long time, and it does look very new.
After looking at all the places and knowing what to expect, I walked out and asked the landlord how much the rent was.
"The rent is the same as that of my grandmother's house before, 15 yuan a month, not much. The landlord smiled, as if the powder on his face was about to fall. I secretly said in my heart, this little girl is like an adult, very assertive, it is rare to ask for commissions, it should be that she has no opinion on the house and wants to rent.
In 83 years, the monthly salary of ordinary workers was only about fifty yuan, and the rent of such a big house was indeed not expensive, and the landlord did not deceive people.
Seeing that they hesitated, the landlord said ruthlessly: "And if you want to rent, this month is already in the middle of the month, and you don't need to pay the rent, just start paying it from next month." "No one has come to rent this month, and she finally met a family who wants to rent, and of course she will not let go of the opportunity to make money.
"Yes, in this case, let's think about it, and if we want to rent it, we will come back to you the day after tomorrow. Xu Ning has no opinion, but she is afraid that her mother is unwilling, and she can't show too much willingness to rent this house, otherwise the landlord will think that they want to rent more, and take the opportunity to rent the house in the future.
"A-Ning......" Li Xinmei wanted to say no, but her daughter answered first, and she didn't say that she had to rent, so let's discuss it with A-Ning when I go back.
Walking outside, after the landlord left, Li Xiumei said with a worried face: "A-Ning, don't rent that house, even if you want to move, let's find another home." ”
Although I think the house is good, but the rent of such a big house is so cheap, it must be like what the aunt said before, the house is not clean.
"Mom, after running two streets, that house is the most suitable. Besides, in fact, there is not much problem with that house, but it is a little evil, just dissolve it. ”
On such a hot day, Xu Ning was tired and didn't want to watch it anymore, and after seeing a few before, he had a bottom on the houses and rents in the county, and it was estimated that he couldn't find a more suitable house than this one.
"How do you know this, A-Ning ......" Li Xiumei was shocked when she heard the evil spirit, and her face was not good.
"Mom, that...... A few days ago, there was no old beggar in the village, he gave me a book and then taught me fortune telling and feng shui, so I will have some, the old house is going to fall, I also saw it this way, so Mom, don't worry, that house is rented, it is very suitable for us, we don't have money now, we have paid the rent, as for the tuition fee, I will figure it out myself. ”
casually pulled a pretense to round her fortune-telling ability. Now she has only been away from school for half a month, and she knows very well how much money her mother has, so after opening the store, she has to earn her own tuition fees.
Li Xiumei frowned and was still a little suspicious, but Xu Ning couldn't explain to her now that she had seen evil qi in the courtyard of that house before, and she didn't understand what kind of evil qi she was afraid of saying it. It's just that this evil qi is not very serious, so the people who live in it are just sick and have accidents, and their financial luck is not good, if they want to live in it, they must cut the evil qi, the method is very simple, and when her mother agrees to rent it, come and cast some magic to drive away the evil.
It's also because there are no powerful feng shui masters in the county, so it's good to settle the house, otherwise it won't be their turn to rent a house with no money.
It's noon at this time, Li Xiumei is distressed about money and doesn't want to stay here to eat, so the three of them want to go home.
When the three of them walked to the door of their house sweating profusely, the stone shouted loudly.
"Mom, what's wrong with our door?"
The gate of the yard was originally locked, but now it has been kicked and broken and fallen to the side, and there are still many footprints in the yard.
"Mom, I've been robbed. ”
Xu Ning said with certainty, the three of them hurriedly entered the house to see, the house was very neat, Li Xiumei hurriedly squatted under the bed, opened the iron box where the money was stored, fortunately no one stole it, secretly lucky! The money was to pay the tuition fees for the two children.
"Mom, have you lost anything?"
Xu Ning walked in and asked worriedly.
"No, fortunately, I didn't lose a penny of money. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the stones in the backyard shouting.
"Mom, sister, come out quickly, our pig is lost!"
As soon as the two of them heard this, they hurried out, and saw that the pigsty was empty, and the pigs were gone in broad daylight.
"Whoever has received a thousand knives dares to come and steal pigs in broad daylight. Li Xiumei was so angry that her whole body trembled, this pig saw that it would be able to be released from the cage in another month, who was so lacking in virtue at this time to steal it while their family was away.
"Mom, I know who it is, there are footprints here, they are all big footprints, it must be a man to catch it, except for Xu Ergui's scum, there will be no one else!" Xu Ning said firmly.
Stealing pigs in broad daylight, there must be movement, but the pig stealers still dare to come, it must be their own family, except for Xu Ergui's shameless goods, Xu Ning can guess without telling hexagrams.
When Li Xiumei heard this, her face sank, and she ran to the front yard in a hurry despite her tiredness.
Xu Ning and Shi Shi also followed.
"Xu Ergui, did you steal my pig!"
When Li Xiumei saw someone, she was so angry that she didn't care about it at the moment, and asked Ergui who was cutting meat directly.
"I caught it! No, this is your pig, I sold it to Ah Zeng in the village, and kept a piece back, so let's do it, sister-in-law, I will give half of the meat to your family." He grinned.
"The second expensive who killed a thousand knives, he still has to be faced, now he doesn't even let go of my pigs when he steals things, how can my mother-in-law have a son like you!"
"Hmph, don't mention Mom, I'm always partial to you, my family Mingzai had a fever last night and had no money to see a doctor, so I can only sell your pigs, it's good that I didn't sell A-Ning that girl again this time!"
The pig was sold because the child raised by Xu Ergui's family had a high fever in the middle of the night, and Xu Ergui spent all the money from selling Xu Ning on raising the child, and the family had no money, so as soon as the child got sick, he beat the idea of the pig raised by Xu Ning's family and sold it to Ah Zeng, who sold pork in the village.
"Since it's a doctor...... Forget it, but what about the money left? Xu Ergui, don't think that you will spend all the money from selling piglets if you see a doctor!"
Li Xiumei knew that the pig was killed and couldn't get it back, so she could only ask him for the money left over from the medical treatment, her house was about to collapse, and there was no place to live.
