"Mother, you can't do it here? Come back to Chang'an with me. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The eldest brother who hid debts went out to avoid the limelight, only remembering to take away his wife, leaving the old lady to look at the house, and the typical daughter-in-law forgot his mother.

Xu Xiaofan still had six or seven taels of silver in his pocket, which was originally intended to be given to the Zhao family as compensation for borrowing his son's body. Now it seems that this money is given to the Zhao family, and she will definitely repay Xu Dafu's gambling debts, and the remaining broken silver will definitely be contributed to the gambling house. Since, this big brother is so unreliable and unfilial. It's more appropriate to bring my mother back to Chang'an, and I often see my father and son paying off my debts in TV dramas. This debt is repaid, which sounds really despicable.

Zhao stood in the small courtyard of the farmhouse, like a wooden stake, not knowing how to respond. Peach Blossom Village is the only home for her, and she always has some concerns about going out.

"Xu Dafu is simply not a person, you have a debt for you to repay, how many nets do you have to make up to help him pay it off? A thousand? Or two thousand? Xu Xiaofan didn't want to call the person who ran away as the eldest brother, and it would be too difficult for the Zhao family to repay gambling debts by making up the net. A fishing net is only three articles if it is repaired well, and if it is not repaired well, it is another matter, there is really no need to stay here and suffer, he knows that Zhao's health is not good, and he is still worried about working all day long, but he is afraid that no one will know if he falls at home. Even if he is not exactly Zhao's biological son, he is obliged to do his filial piety for him. After all, the body is skinned, and it is the parents.

Zhao was still a little unhappy when he heard this: "Don't talk about your eldest brother like this, he is the eldest son of this family, the hope of this family..... Hope..... Moreover, my mother has not done much for you, and if I go to Chang'an with you now, I will inevitably be tongue-in-cheek from the villagers. ”

When it comes to this, it becomes more and more unconfident.

Xu Xiaofan heard the guilt in her heart, put on a smiling face, and persuaded carefully: "Mother, it's okay, I never blamed you." Now, Xu Dafu left you, don't stay here, most of the debt collectors are fierce, what if something happens? ”

"This, this...."Zhao was speechless for a while, and the people in the gambling house yesterday really scared her a lot.

"Mother, don't think about it. Go to Chang'an to live for a while, maybe those who collect debts will not come back after a while. ”

"It is only natural to repay debts."

I didn't expect this Zhao family to be quite dull, how clean can the money in the gambling house be? Most of them rely on thousands of people to cheat the common people's money, and this bit of broken silver must be at the bottom of their debt list, and they may forget it in a few days.

"It's back, it's back. However, it is difficult for you to pay off your gambling debts by repairing fishing nets. If you go to Chang'an, the money there is much easier to make than here. "Xu Xiaofan doesn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, first trick the Zhao family to Chang'an and then make plans.

Zhao hesitated, and finally agreed. I heard that the dishwashers in Chang'an seem to have two dollars a month, and if they save money, they should be able to pay off Dafu's gambling debts in two or three years.

Go into the house and pack your bags.

Zhao lives in a west-drying location, and in this hot summer, entering the room is like going to a sauna, and the heat is constantly sweating. There was only a bed and a table in the room, and Zhao's clothes were all on the table, not even a decent wooden cabinet and wooden box.

It is not too much to use the four walls of the house in this regard.

Xu Xiaofan clearly remembered that the family environment was not bad when he left, and there were a few cows and a few acres of land, which could be regarded as the middle class in the village, and he must have been defeated by Xu Dafu in the past few years.

"Alright." Zhao wrapped the clothes on the table in a cloth, a total of two sets of clothes, still with patches.

It seems that he has been so poor that he has not even bought new clothes in the past few years.

After sorting out the things, Zhao first sent the mended fishing nets to a family, and then followed the donkey cart along the way to Chang'an.

Bustling streetscapes, magnificent buildings, crowds of people, and noisy voices.

Zhao, who had only entered the city a few times, was a little flustered, and when he got off the donkey cart, he felt like he was empty under his feet, as if he had stepped into another world.

Xu Xiaofan got off the horse and stood beside Zhao all the way to lead the horse.

"Mother, you follow closely, don't be afraid." Xu Xiaofan saw the strangeness and fear in Zhao's eyes, and tried to reassure her.

Zhao smiled and followed closely, grabbing Xu Xiaofan's sleeve from time to time.

"I'll take you to find a house to live in." Xu Xiaofan also thought about letting him live in Zhang's house, but Zhang Changde is a widower, and Zhao is a widow, so it is always a little inconvenient to live together, so it is better to find another house.

"Well, don't be too expensive, save some money."

"Don't worry."

The price of renting in Chang'an must be ..... Not cheap.

Dingjiayuan, an exchange point for Chang'an real estate, rents and resells all kinds of houses.

The shopkeeper Ding Bin is a well-known real estate overlord in Chang'an, and the people of the Tang Dynasty prefer to call him a landlord.

Entering the door of Dingjiayuan, there are many customers in the door, and the four walls of the store are full of listing information, if you are satisfied, you can take it off and take a look.

The dazzling paper is clamped on the wall, and it is better for people with dense phobia not to enter.

Ding Bin was dressed in gold and black, sitting on an old chair and holding a jade teapot to drink directly to his mouth, looking slender, but his brain was more shrewd than anyone else.

"Shopkeeper Ding, is there a house to rent near Jinchangfang?" Xu Xiaofan still felt that his question was more realistic, and the words on the wall were too bitten.

Shopkeeper Ding removed the teapot from his mouth and said, "Yes, you want to rent?" ”

"Well, what's the price?" Xu Xiaofan deliberately approached the shopkeeper Ding and whispered, for fear that the Zhao family would hear that the price was too expensive, and go back to Peach Blossom Village.

"Two dollars a month, how?" Shopkeeper Ding sat in the store all day long, all kinds of customers have seen it, especially the old people who are afraid of spending more money, and he also cooperated in a low voice.

Two bucks? Honestly, a bit pricey. It's almost half a month's salary for the second child of the shop.

However, now I still have six or seven taels in my pocket, and renting for a year and a half is not a problem. The most important thing is that the Zhao family lives next to the Yongxing Dart Bureau and can take care of it by themselves.

"Okay, can I move in today?"

"Okay, our Dingjiayuan service has always been the most thoughtful. Later, when you have paid three months' rent, I will have someone take you there. ”

"Okay, then thank you Shopkeeper Ding."

"Yes."

After paying the rent, a clever little clerk showed him the way.

When he arrived at the street of Jinchangfang, the little clerk stopped, pointed to the room on the right, and said, "That's it, I'll take you in and have a look." ”

The rental yard is full of people outside the door, the area is open, and there are locust trees growing outward inside the house, which is excellent for shade and shade. The Tang Dynasty did not have a city manager, so it must be very profitable to set up a stall here.

After walking around the inner courtyard, the environment is still good, a hall, a backyard, and three wings, which seems to be a bit big for Zhao alone.

The little clerk walked around with them, completed the task, and left.

Zhao went in and out several times, as if she was in a dream, and she said happily: "I didn't expect that I could live in such a good house." ”

Xu Xiaofan didn't say much, brought a bucket of water, and helped scrub and wash the dusty furniture.
