Chapter 73

Cui Yunhao was stunned for a while, and then blinked for a long time, then nodded half-understood, clenched his fists, and said with great fighting spirit:

"I keep everything my sister said in my heart. I will never have the idea of ​​dropping out of school again. I will work hard, study hard, and strive to become a high-ranking official as soon as possible. Let my sister and everyone who has helped us live a happy life." Have a good day."

"Well, this is my good brother!" Chu Yingying smiled and patted his head, feeling very happy in her heart.

Due to the impact of the previous turmoil, few people came to Jishitang to see a doctor and buy medicine. As a last resort, Jishitang had to suspend its business for a period of time.

After breakfast the next day, Chu Yingying secretly ran out to inquire about any yards for rent.

Under the scorching sun, Chu Yingying searched for several hours before finally finding a relatively satisfactory small courtyard in Guichun Lane in the east of the city.

The owner of the house is an amiable old lady. Although the location of the courtyard is a bit remote, the old lady has kept it clean.

More importantly, it is also close to the private school that Cui Yunhao studied, so it is very convenient to go to and from school every day, but if Chu Yingying goes to work in Jishitang, she will have to walk a lot.

The yard is indeed not that big. There is a bamboo fence around the gate, the roof is replaced with new tiles, the ground is paved with green bricks, and there are no overgrown weeds.

After entering, there is a house in front of you, with three rooms, and a small kitchen on the left, where you can cook by yourself.

There are flower beds in the courtyard, and several peonies are in full bloom.There is a backyard at the back. A pomegranate tree as thick as two people's arms is planted in the sunny place, with a thick shade like a cover.

The surrounding walls are more than one foot high, so there is no need to worry about thieves breaking in at night.There was a hole in the stone mill in front of the door, and the color was mottled. A pulley was set up on the well in the corner, and it was easy to fetch water at ordinary times.

Overall, it's pretty good.

Chu Yingying nodded in satisfaction, thinking that it would be more perfect to raise another watchdog when money is more abundant.

She asked the old woman again: "Old man, how much does your yard charge every month?"

The old lady was a bit deaf. Chu Yingying asked several times before she could hear clearly. She stretched out a finger and narrowed her eyes with a smile, "One tael per month, bet one to pay one."

A tael of silver per month is actually not too expensive. The old lady is very old, and Chu Yingying is too embarrassed to bargain with her, so she happily gave two taels of silver, signed a contract, and made an appointment to come and move in tomorrow morning.

After renting a place to live, Chu Yingying felt relaxed and slipped back to Jishitang through the back door.

As soon as he entered, he happened to meet Lu Yuan squatting at the door of the warehouse, arranging medicinal materials.

Chu Yingying stepped forward to help, when Lu Yuan saw her, he casually asked, "Did you go out again today?"

Chu Yingying hesitated for a while, but decided to tell the truth, nodded and said, "Well, I went to the east of the city to rent a yard."

Lu Yuan was taken aback when he heard the words, he paused in the air with the hand holding the medicinal materials, raised his head suddenly, and asked suspiciously, "What are you renting the yard for?"

Chu Yingying put the sorted herbs into sacks and replied, "My brother and I don't plan to live in Jishitang in the future, so we have to rent a yard."

Lu Yuan stared at her closely, and asked with some displeasure: "It's fine, why don't you want to live in Jishitang? Is the bed in the room uncomfortable?"

Chu Yingying also looked up at him, shook her head and said, "It's not that I don't want to, but I'm embarrassed to live in it. Your family has suffered such a big change, the ancestral house has been sold, and there are still a lot of debts outside. How can we, sister and brother? Continue to stay here with a thick skin."
