Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

"Guanzhou, it's your fault for bullying Xiaobao. You should apologize to him."

"But we left definitely not because of this."

"Adults have their own things to consider, and each of us will have our own things to do in the future. This is just our choice, and I made this decision after considering it for a long time."

Wei Qiqi gently wiped the tears from his face with a handkerchief.

"Don't tell your father about this, or he will beat you. Just realize your mistake yourself."

Guan Zhou grasped her handkerchief with his fingers, but could no longer utter a word.

Finally, Guan Lu came over, cursing, and asked Guan Zhou to let go. A closer look showed that his eyes were also red, and he was not in good condition.

The father and son watched Wei Qiqi put on the mask and walked away holding Li Yuan's hand.

After the two people left, they first went to a brokerage firm to find a house for them.

I picked a dentist who looked honest and worked steadily.

"Hey lady, what kind of house are you looking for, a house for sale or a house for rent?"

"Let's rent it."

She left ten taels of silver for Guan Lu in the room, and the remaining ninety taels had to be used wisely.

“Are there any requirements for renting?”

“It should be quiet, not too extreme, but not too noisy either.”

"Um...do you need a yard? Are you willing to share with others?"

The man from that tooth continued to ask.

The more detailed the customer describes, the easier it will be for him to find it.

"Don't live with others. It's best to have a yard, and good lighting."

Wei Qiqi planned to do something on her own. It was very troublesome without electricity at this time, and the lighting was not good, which sometimes hurt her eyes.

And she planned to let Li Yuan continue his studies.

When she was reading the storybook before, she circled the words she didn't know. Li Yuan recognized some of them and it seemed that he had learned them before.

There is no harm in learning at any time.

The dealer calculated and had an idea in his mind: "Well, there are a few places that meet your requirements, but the prices fluctuate greatly. Do you want to take a look first?"

Wei Qiqi followed the broker to see.

The first house had no yard and the roof was leaking a bit, but it was the cheapest.

The second house has a yard, but it’s not very big. Once you open the door, you’ll see the street, which can be quite noisy, with all kinds of people there.

The third one has all the disadvantages, but its price is almost the same as the second one.

The fourth one doesn't work either.

The dentist also looked embarrassed. He didn't expect this customer to be so picky.

I don’t know if the last one will succeed.

When it was the fifth person's turn, the agent's expression was already not very good. He used the key to open the door and it opened with a push.

Pushing open the gate is the yard with a ginkgo tree in it. It is late autumn now and the color of the ginkgo leaves is just right, looking golden from a distance.

Before looking at other places, Wei Qiqi was already very satisfied with this.

Across the yard, there are two rooms on the side, connected to each other but separated by a kitchen in the middle.

The toilet is on the right side of the house.

The layout is more reasonable than the previous one and the space is much larger.

Of course, estimating the price is not something that ordinary people can afford.

“How much is the rent?”

"This one is more expensive, because a little further behind this wall is the back gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and there are yamen runners all around, so it's safer than the previous ones..."

"Just tell me how much, and I'll see if I can give it to you."

Wei Qiqi spoke up and said that the broker said so much just to say that the price was reasonable.

Seeing that Wei Qiqi didn't buy it, the broker said nothing more.

"One coin and twenty coins."

She snorted and chuckled, looking at this generation again with a calm gaze.

In fact, I feel that it is really cheap, but since the Yak people can say this price, there must be room for reduction.

Being a sucker for nothing is really not her style.

"Brother, do you think I'm easy to fool? One hundred and twenty cents for rent, you want me to not have to eat or drink for a month and just pay the rent."

The broker smiled awkwardly but did not change his words.

"My lady, take another look. This is really much more than before. You have a child with you, so you should pay more attention to the surrounding security environment."

"Who told you that we're the only ones living here?" Wei Qiqi turned around and said with a half-smile, "You guys are really smart sometimes."

"My lady is too hard to fool. I'll tell you the bottom line. One penny. It really can't be lower than that."

Wei Qiqi is really not like other women who are so shy when seeing a man that they dare not even look at him or say a word.

The broker also realized that he could not gain any advantage.

"Well, for every cent of rent, I'll give you an extra fifty cents. Can you help me clean this place and buy the basic household items?"

She was not familiar with the prices here. It would be too conspicuous for a woman to go out and buy it. Besides, she might not be able to carry it back. It was really cost-effective to ask someone to help buy it.

"If there is more by then, you don't have to return it. You've worked hard today."

Wei Qiqi said with a smile.

She was very open and honest in her work, and the broker was somewhat touched by being told that she worked hard for the first time. He did not have any other thoughts at the moment and just wanted to make sure that the lady did not suffer any loss.

"I will definitely get it ready."

Later, when signing the contract, Wei Qiqi also glanced over it. She recognized most of the words, so she read it herself and showed it to Li Yuan.

All I can say is that sometimes small favors are really worth giving. This broker waived the first five days' payment, saying that it was for cleaning, and he would start charging from the sixth day.

She has rented the place for a year, and if she wants to renew it then she can.

The broker is a real person and there are no unfair clauses in the contract.

Little did he know that small favors were not enough to make Ya Ren act like this. The respect that Wei Qiqi unintentionally showed was the root of all this.

But she thought it was caused by small favors.

Li Yuan understood all this but did not say anything.

Qi Niang always has a way of making people unconsciously want to be nice to her.

Seeing that both Wei Qiqi and Li Yuan were literate, the broker's attitude became even more fearful than before.

Nowadays, anyone who can read a few words is either rich or noble. And she is raising such a young child. If she is lucky in the future, she may become a scholar or a juren.

I have already marked these two people as special in my heart.

Little did people know that Wei Qiqi, who was treated as a noble, brought Li Yuan with her. She was wearing a mask and it didn't look out of place when she walked on the street.

Let's take a walk today and see what this city has to offer.

By the way, find out what the outside world is like.

Li Yuan was led forward by Wei Qiqi. He was enjoying the time when it was just him and Qi Niang.

I don’t know if it’s because it’s a festival or if the city is just crowded, but people are still coming and going even in the afternoon.

There are regular shops and street vendors on both sides of the road, all of whom have smiles on their faces.

Wei Qiqi walked forward, probably having an idea of ​​the prices of goods in that era.

Seeing all kinds of headbands on the street stalls, she became interested and decided to take a look.

But she was interrupted by a shouting voice.

She turned her head and saw a horse-drawn carriage rushing towards her from the other side of the road. The coachman had a terrified look on his face and the horse was rushing forward madly.

A child was standing opposite.
