Tell me to leave if I don't want to stay here, but I still choose to stay, because I already have feelings for this place, and there is no place to go if I leave here. ”

Chu Zongren was angry and hateful after hearing this, and the others were also very angry.

Since Chu Zongren's business was not as good as day by day, his concubines all made excuses to leave, and when they left, they took away all their valuable things, and now he only has Ji's wife left, as well as Chu Xiaobei, Chu Xiaonan and Chu Xiaodong's three children.

But he really doesn't have the ability to raise so many concubines, they just leave, as long as there are children and a little family background, he can make a comeback, who knows that coming here made him have a back breath, the most obedient and honest Chu Xiaoxi actually went against his will and left here, I don't know where to go!

He scolded the old man who was guarding the door, blaming him for not persuading Chu Xiaoxi, and then asked him to make some food.

The old man said timidly: "Master, there is nothing left at home, and there is no rice to cook!" ”

Chu Zongren said angrily: "If you don't have it, go buy it!" ”

The old janitor was embarrassed and said, "I, I don't have any money!" ”

Chu Zongren said angrily: "Don't you have any money? You go and buy it back first, I'll give you how much it should be, can I still owe you? ”

The old man said with a bitter face: "I don't have a penny, you can also see, I wear this way, and I eat pickles and steamed buns, and now I don't even have anything to eat myself." ”

Chu Zong took out a certain amount of silver from his arms and threw it to him, saying, "Save some flowers, you have to return the remaining flowers to me." Then he sent the old janitor out.

It's not early, it's not a city, there are many restaurants, and the old man saw that the lights were still on in a house, so he knocked on the door and said he wanted to buy something to eat. They were all from the villagers, and the other party happened to have leftovers, so they packed some for him to eat for the Chu family.

When I came back, those things were still hot, and they were all warm in the arms of the old janitor. Even so, it still did not satisfy the Chu family, they all agreed that these foods were too shabby and unworthy of their identity, and blamed the old janitor for not buying anything, or hiding their money.

The old janitor repeatedly assured him that he had no private collection, and that he still had more than half of the money, and that he had bought these things from his neighbors, and he had to buy them with great difficulty, so he could only make do with them, and he really didn't earn a penny, so he took out the rest of the money after speaking.

In the end, the Chu family was so hungry that they didn't have time to say more, so they devoured those meals, in fact, they didn't eat anything decent along the way in order to save money, and the places they lived were also the cheapest and cheapest inns, and now it was good to be able to eat this hot meal.

After eating, they were so tired that they had to rest, the old man ran out to clean the room when they were eating, he cleaned all four rooms for them to live in, this ancestral house is still quite big, there are more rooms, but the cover is less, but fortunately it is enough.

Chu Zongren and Ji Shi went into the main house to take a look, and found that the furniture here was very old, and there was a musty smell in the room, although the dust and cobwebs in the house had been cleaned, but they still exuded the gloomy atmosphere of no one living in it for a long time, but because they were too tired, they didn't care too much, so they spread the quilt and lay down.

Chu Xiaobei and Chu Xiaonan were not so easy to deal with, as soon as the two of them entered the house, they saw that the room was small and narrow, the furniture was shabby, and the bedding was damp, so they complained to the old man who was not doing his job properly.

The old man at the door couldn't say that he was suffering, saying that he didn't know that they were coming back, so the quilt was not dried, and the room was also cleaned, and he would dry the quilt again tomorrow when it was good, and drive away the moisture to the house, and ask them to make do with it first, although Chu Xiaobei and Chu Xiaonan knew that what he said was the truth, but they still scolded him unrelentingly. Under the repeated apologies of the old janitor, they barely managed to sleep.

Chu Xiaodong is a boy, although he doesn't have as many things as girls, but he is very naughty and willful, although he didn't find fault with the bedroom, but he kept teasing the old man who was the janitor, either hitting him in the back or kicking his legs, there was really no way to make the old man the janitor sleep, so he could only beg him to sleep.

Chu Xiaodong refused, ran around the room, and finally coaxed him to bed, the old man who watched the door breathed a sigh of relief, came out and closed the door, and then looked up to the sky and sighed, originally he stayed here because he missed the old days, but he didn't expect that the Chu family didn't treat him as a person, and they kept calling and drinking, and they wanted to torture him and insult him. He felt that it was really worthless for him to stay here, but if he went back, he didn't want to face the old face and broken mouth of Xiao Zhuzi's mother.

After weighing it repeatedly, he still planned to stay here first, after all, the Chu family was kind to him, he couldn't just leave, and seeing that those people in the Chu family seemed to be quite down, no longer the previous scenery, he couldn't leave here at this time, otherwise they would really be useless alone, so he reluctantly stayed.

On the second day, the Chu family slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up, and then they asked the old man to fetch water to wash up, and then went to the dining room to eat, who knew that it was cold inside, and there was no delicious food waiting for them at all.

Chu Zongren was very angry, and asked the old man to question, the old man said that he had no money, Chu Zongren had no choice but to give him a little silver, and asked him to go to the street to buy some rice noodles and vegetables back, and asked him to cook for them, but Ji felt that the old man was too sloppy, and the food he made was really inedible.

But they now had no money to hire any other people, so they could barely make do with it, so they let the old janitor go.

The old janitor is old, his legs and feet are not dexterous, and he has no strength, and the rice and noodles are sent by the guys, and he has to pay for labor. The vegetables and meat I bought were also relatively cheap, and I didn't dare to buy fruits, for fear of exceeding the budget and being blamed.

When Chu Zongren saw this scene, he was very depressed. He really didn't expect the Chu family to get mixed up to this point, he asked the old man at the gatekeeper if their family still had any fields and property, and the old man said that there were indeed some ancestral properties here, but they were all rented out, and there was only this one ancestral house left.

Chu Zongren didn't know whether to sell this ancestral mansion or not, after all, this ancestral mansion was indeed too old, and here
