The old lady nodded. “Yes, that house is quite close to where he works. It takes about fifteen minutes to walk there.’
“What happened after that?” Lu Erbai asked, “We definitely can’t live in that house. The third Brother still has two children at home, so safety is the most important thing. This wasn’t a village, and there weren’t any familiar neighbors. If something happened, they might not even help you.”
“That’s what I said, so 1 didn’t want the house.” The old lady said, “But there are a few houses in that alley that are for rent. I went to take a look. One of the houses is small, but it’s enough for their family of four. There was only one room originally, but the owner added a small room in the courtyard. Dabao was now an adult. It was just right for him to stay in that room alone later.”
It was just that the rent was slightly more expensive, at 200 coins (monetary).
But now, both Third Brother and his wife were paid, and Third Brother had a stable one tael of silver a month. If he were smart enough to be rewarded by the customers, it would be even more. As the third daughter-in-law, even though sewing a puppet cover was not stable, she could still take on other jobs. Anyway, she was very good at collecting money so that she could get by.
“The third daughter-in-law is also satisfied with this house now. She decided to rent it. She went to the shop earlier to move her luggage over and stayed there to clean up the house.”
She was an old lady, so she didn’t want to join in the fun. In addition, she still had Quanquan with her, so she went home first.
After the old lady finished speaking, she instructed Daniu, “After dinner, go to your Third Uncle’s house to sleep. Also, tell him that your Fourth Aunt and Fourth Uncle are back so that he won’t worry.”
Daniu nodded repeatedly. “Got it, Grandmother.”
Shu Yu silently looked at the sky. Would Third Uncle be worried? He might be very angry that Daniu wanted to stay at his house.
The old lady gave a few more instructions. Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, she let Daniu leave first.
Yuan Shanchuan’s family of four also left at the same time. Although the Lu family had three rooms, they had many people. Xiaozhen and Quanquan could still squeeze in as children, but now that Yuan Shanchuan and Lu Sixing were here, there was no room for them.
Yuan Shanchuan rested for a while and took some medicine. He was much better now.
Therefore, their family had arranged to rest in the backyard of the shop on Ningshui Street for the night.
Fortunately, Lu Sanzhu had found a place to rent today. Otherwise, they would have to go to the inn and get two rooms.
Originally, Lu Erbai had wanted to keep Yuan Shanchuan at home when he saw that he wasn’t feeling well, so he and Dahu could stay at the shop. However, Yuan Shanchuan and his wife did not agree to it. Anyway, they would travel by mule carriage, so it was not a problem.
After Daniu brought them away, the Lu family finally quieted down.
The old lady was in a good mood and asked a few more questions about Dahu’s situation in school.
It was rare for Dahu to chatter. “I’ve made a few friends. They all like my school bag. They even took it over and looked at it for a long time. They said that they would ask their mothers to make one when they go back.”
“Today is the first day. The teacher let us get to know each other. We had two cla.s.ses and practiced calligraphy. Grandma, so they teach Cuju in school. I played with them for a while today. However, it was my first time playing, so I wasn’t agile.”
Although he sounded regretful, he was really happy.
Shu Yu smiled. “Do you want to play Cuju? We can do one by ourselves. You can bring Sanya, Dabao, Erniu, Xiaozhen, and the rest to play for the whole day during your vacation.”
Sanya’s eyes lit up..
