Hearing this, Su Shining was so angry that her face turned blue, and she stomped her feet on the ground, complaining indignantly: "How can these beggars be so vicious? We all live in poverty, and we should support each other and overcome difficulties together!"

Seeing this, Zhao Yi quickly tried to persuade her, "Girl, you are still too young and don't understand the world. This kind of thing is actually very common, otherwise there wouldn't be such a saying as 'there must be something hateful about pitiful people'. In my opinion, they might get violent again. Why don't we find a room and move there today?"

Su Shining and Su Shirong looked at each other and answered in unison: "Okay, let's go and help look at the house together."

Zhao Yi first had to understand the key situation. He turned around and asked Hongdou, Daniu and Tiedan: "How much silver do you have now?"

Hongdou hesitated for a moment, her face flushed, and she looked a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and said softly, "Only... just over two taels. Is that enough to pay the rent?"

At this time, Su Shikuan on the side happily interrupted and said: "That's enough, we just need to rent that house..."

However, Zhao Yi shook his head and retorted, "Kuan'er, that house is not only small but also very shabby. It is not much better than this dilapidated temple. Moreover, they don't have much savings and their income is not very stable. If they rent the house, they must pay the rent on time every month, otherwise they will be forced to live on the streets."

Hearing this, Su Shining couldn't help but frowned and began to feel conflicted: "But, considering their current financial situation, the only house they can afford... I'm afraid this is the only one... Otherwise, let's help them..."

"Of course I will help, but not by renting a house. After all, renting a house is only a stopgap measure and cannot fundamentally solve the problem." Zhao Yi continued in a firm tone. In addition to money, there is another problem with renting a house. If the owner does not intend to rent it out, he will naturally find a way to throw the tenant out. "

Su Shikuan widened his eyes and asked suspiciously, "Uncle Zhao, this matter is not as outrageous as you said, right?"

Zhao Yi waved his hand and said in a firm tone: "Don't worry about these things for now. We can talk about it slowly when we have a chance later. The most urgent thing right now is to find Wang Yaren. Maybe he will have a house suitable for us." After that, he walked in front, followed by a group of excited children, and walked towards Yaxing together.

At the same time, County Magistrate Chen had never expected that Su Yu would show up in his yard with two children. However, Lord Chen did not blame him for this, after all, when he visited the Su family last time, he was deeply impressed by the hardworking and well-behaved children of the Su family.

The father and his two sons respectfully bowed to County Magistrate Chen and said, "Greetings, Master Chen." Although the two younger children did not kneel down to kowtow, they still stood up straight and bowed like their father Su Yu. County Magistrate Chen did not care too much about this, but took Su Yu's hand and talked about the whole story: "Don't be polite, brother Su, today we have a distinguished guest from the capital. After tasting the tofu made by your family, this guest became curious and wanted to ask some related matters."

Su Yu asked in confusion: "Is your distinguished guest dissatisfied with the taste of the tofu?"

County Magistrate Chen waved his hands quickly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "No, no...ah...actually I don't know either. Let's go in first, he will ask you personally." County Magistrate Chen secretly groaned in his heart. This so-called distinguished guest was his relative, but he had to be careful to please him, for fear that any negligence would annoy him.

He couldn't help but sigh that it was fortunate that the young man had been living in a Taoist temple in the mountains for the past month, otherwise, with his level of anxiety, he would probably have lost all his hair.

They walked through the garden, around several courtyards, and finally arrived at a place called "Tanxi Courtyard". County Magistrate Chen stopped and signaled everyone to enter.

At this time, a young man of about fifteen or sixteen came towards them. He was tall and handsome. He bowed to County Magistrate Chen and said respectfully, "Greetings, Lord Chen."

County Magistrate Chen looked at the young man in front of him, nodded, then turned to look at Xiao Ran and others, and asked, "Buyou, isn't your Uncle Fu here?" He originally thought that Fu Ming should be responsible for the reception this time. After all, he was the oldest among these people and had more experience.

"Uncle Fu has something important to attend to, so the Master specifically told me to wait here for Master Chen and the people you lead." Buyou acted quite calm and said slowly, "The Master has said in advance that when you and the others arrive, I will take you to meet him immediately."

"Then let's get going quickly so as not to keep Ran'er waiting for a long time." The person who spoke seemed a little anxious.

"Okay." Buyou's eyes fell on the two little guys behind them, and asked curiously: "Are these two the children of Lord Chen? They should go together this time..."

"Uh... no... no..." County Magistrate Chen quickly shook his head and denied it, with a hint of embarrassment on his face. He really didn't want to play the role of a father in front of other people's children.

At this time, Su Yu on the side bowed and replied: "These are my children." Although the young man in front of him seemed young, judging from the respectful attitude of County Magistrate Chen towards him, he probably couldn't afford to offend even a three-year-old child.

However, Buyu did not say much, but smiled and praised: "Oh, so that's how it is! They are really lovable..."

"Cute?" Su Shian was unhappy when she heard this comment. Who wants to be praised as cute? She pouted her lips and was about to argue, but was pulled back by Su Shikuan beside her.

Su Shirong said in a low and steady voice: "Don't say that, that person doesn't look easy to mess with, and his son is definitely not to be messed with."

Although Su Shian was still unwilling, she did not say anything. After all, she knew that if she did not seek death, she would not die.

Buyou didn't seem to notice the actions of the two children, but talked to Su Yu about the reason why his young master summoned him.

It turned out that today was the first day Xiao Ran came home from the mountain, but he still hadn't figured out something in his mind, and he was sad and unhappy all day. How could County Magistrate Chen dare to neglect a distinguished guest who came to visit at this time? Naturally, he had to entertain him warmly. At the banquet, the tofu fish soup and tofu pancakes carefully prepared by the Chen family's chef successfully aroused Xiao Ran's interest.
