Chapter 38
The others originally had the same idea with the village chief, that this matter should not be a big deal, but now after hearing what the Du family lost and Xu's words, they all panicked, one by one urging Du Chunyue to go to the county seat, and some even said can accompany.

The village head gave the Tao family a meaningful look, but said nothing.

The man from the Tao family was in a hurry, and only when he met the village chief's eyes did he realize that the village chief had already known what the couple had done. The village chief stuffed a piece of broken silver into his hand.

The village head quickly accepted it, coughed lightly, and slowly persuaded: "This matter is indeed serious, but as the head of a village, I have to think about the whole village. In this way, my family still has some food, which will be given to the spring later." Miss Yue sent some contingencies, and we will discuss the matter of reporting to the official, after all, after we report to the official, it will become a problem for girls and boys in our village to marry."

When the village chief said this, everyone hesitated again.

Seeing that the crowd stopped booing, the village head hurriedly asked: "Girl Chunyue, what are your plans for the future?"

The old man of the Du family was gone, and the only male was going to serve in the military. His life and death were uncertain, and Du Chunyue was left as a little girl.

When Du Chunyue heard the words, she immediately replied obediently: "I originally planned to get a guide as soon as my grandfather's funeral was over, and go to a distant relative."

"Do you have distant relatives?" Tao Cuihua was anxious, and was the first to speak.

Du Chunyue was not surprised at all, she nodded and said: "Yes, it's in the south, and I can start after I get the road guide."

"No money, no food, how do you leave?" Tao Cuihua mocked.

Du Chunyue didn't change her face, "It's okay, I can work, go with the caravan, or inquire about other teams going to the south, today I'm going to the county town, there is an aunt over there, I got help from my grandfather before, I can Take me in for a few days."

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Tao Cuihua asked with wide-eyed dissatisfaction.

Du Chunyue looked innocent, "My house was burglarized yesterday, and I don't feel at ease living here alone. Besides, I have to go to the county town to get directions. Isn't it right for me to go now?"

Everyone nodded in understanding.

Du Chunyue lowered her head, smiled slightly, then raised her head, and looked at the village chief pitifully, "Village chief, when can I go to your house to get food? Don't worry, I don't want it for nothing. I will report to the official."

"Why do you still report to the officer! You don't need to pay it back! This matter is over." The village head hurriedly interrupted Du Chunyue, his heart changed, and he said: "Since you are going out of the village, there is no one living in your house. , it’s better to rent it directly to the Tao family, and wait for your elder brother to come back to take the house back.”

"Rent?" Du Chunyue widened her eyes in surprise and frowned in thought.

Afraid that she would not agree, the village chief said, "This house is easy to run down if you don't hold back. If you rent it out, you will be able to pay for it, and there will be more people to help you look after the house. It will kill two birds with one stone."

Du Chunyue was very embarrassed, "But I went to another place, and my elder brother doesn't know when he will come back. How will the rent be charged? Besides, I don't know how to calculate the rent!"

Mrs. Xu said immediately, "It's easy to handle, and I'll only charge Wen a month."

"What's the matter with you?" Tao Cuihua angrily pushed Xu.

Mrs. Xu immediately turned back, and the two women just scuffled together in front of the whole village.

The village head was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, "What's the trouble! I don't care if you make any more trouble!"

When Tao Cuihua heard the words, she stopped immediately, and the village head glared at her, and said angrily, "It's only twenty yuan a month! How long do you plan to rent?"

"This..." The man from the Tao family is in a bit of a dilemma. Firstly, he is worried about money, and secondly, he is undecided whether to rebuild the house. After all, that kid from the Du family will probably never come back, and this house may belong to them in the future. up.

Du Chunyue naturally guessed what their plans were, and immediately said: "My elder brother will not come back for five or six years, so if this house is to be rented for at least six years, if the time is short, I will not rent it. If the lease time exceeds six years, the rent will be handed over to Aunt Xu directly, and I will ask Aunt Xu for it when I or my elder brother come back.

Don't worry, I won't let Aunt Xu help me for nothing. Six years later, Aunt Xu will help me collect the rent. Twenty Wen a month can give me two Wen of my hard-earned money. "

Xu's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he would be a fool if he didn't agree to this good thing, "Don't worry, girl Chunyue, Auntie won't lose you for a copper coin!"

Tao Cuihua was furious, "Fart! I haven't agreed to rent yet!"

Du Chunyue spoke in a soft voice, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Aunt Tao will not rent it if she doesn't, I won't force it."

"You white-eyed wolf!" Tao Cuihua cursed.

Du Chunyue was aggrieved again, "Auntie, why am I so blind-eyed? Renting you for cents a month is as if you don't need any money. Besides, you have used all the pots and pans at home, and the beds are all there. You can live in it directly, so should I give it to you for nothing?"

"You" Tao Cuihua was so angry that she almost fainted.

The village chief scolded with an ugly face: "Why are you arguing! If you want to rent, you can rent it, and if you don't rent it, it's fine. When I leave this door, don't mention these things again!"

Originally thought that he could reap some benefits from it, but it's a pity that Du Chunyue, that stinky girl, is not on the right track, and she took advantage of Xu's shrew.

The Tao family thought that the village chief was dissatisfied with them, so they didn't dare to make trouble anymore. Aggrieved, they handed over one tael or four and forty copper coins to Du Chunyue, and hurriedly moved the things to the next door.

Du Chunyue packed her luggage a long time ago, and she didn't have any extra emotions when she saw the Tao family who broke into her house majestically. She took her own luggage and walked out of the village calmly under the watchful eyes of the villagers.

She turned back nervously when she was out of the village, and ran up the mountain after making sure no one was following her. It was not yet noon, so she thought that Tangning would not come so soon, so she went to her grandfather's grave and took out the Paper money and incense, solemnly worshiping, knelt down and said: "Grandpa, I will go on a long journey with my benefactor, if you are alive in heaven, please keep me and my brother safe, and hope that we will meet again one day.

There is a letter from me to my brother in this pottery pot, and it is here with you. I hope my brother can find this letter and find me! "

"What did you write that made your brother find you?" Tangning's curious voice sounded from the back of Du Chunyue's head.

Du Chunyue was taken aback, she turned her head suddenly, and was very pleasantly surprised, "You're here! It's so early!"

"It's not too early for you!" Tangning continued to crane her neck to look at the pot.

Du Chunyue was generous, she directly opened the jar, and took out a piece of wood with something painted on it, like a ghostly talisman, "Are you sure your elder brother can understand it?"

Tangning was completely shocked.
