After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Fang Tong was also thinking about it.

My dear, our daughter has grown up beautifully and gained a lot of weight. You can rest assured down there.

Mother of my child, if you are short of money in the underworld, please send me a dream and I will come back to burn paper for you.

"Mother, I don't know if you blame me or not. If you do, I'll go down to make amends to you a hundred years from now. But please don't take me away early. I still need to watch my daughter grow up."

The night wind blew, and the redness in the father and son's eyes subsided again.

"Go back. Ask dad to come along next time. Your mother...Mother Qian is very generous and won't mind this kind of thing." Fang Tong took his daughter home.

Fang Nanzhi nodded heavily.

The next day, Fang Tong's family of five set off in a horse-drawn carriage, leading a cow.

The purpose of bringing a dairy cow is to allow the family to drink milk every day after entering the city.

Also, I always have to research new cakes at home, which requires milk and I have to buy it, so it’s better to bring it directly.

Because the carriage was carrying cows, it was moving very slowly.

When they arrived at the county town gate, they took the Zheng family's carriage and walked together after meeting up.

Mr. Zheng lifted the car curtain, looked at the cows, and couldn't help laughing.

Fang Nanzhi had already slid down from his own carriage and got on the last carriage.

The person sitting inside is Zheng Wanru.

As soon as the two little girls met, they immediately hugged each other affectionately.

"Zhizhi, we clearly agreed that you would come to play with me more often, why didn't you come once?" Zheng Wanru scolded.

Fang Nanzhi felt a little embarrassed and explained, "I'm sorry, Sister Zheng, I've been really busy lately."

Most of the time she went to the county town was to study in the academy.

As soon as she got home from school, her dad came to pick her up. She couldn't go play with Sister Zheng again, could she?

If you continue playing, you won’t be able to leave when the city gates close.

"Okay, then you must come more often when we go to the provincial capital this time." Zheng Wanru is a very generous girl.

If the nanny at home hadn't been watching her closely and rarely letting her go out, she would have also wanted to play with Zhizhi.

"Don't worry, Sister Zheng, I'm going to find my teacher to study, and I'm sure I'll see you."

Fang Nanzhi agreed immediately. After all, this time, she should be going to her teacher's house to take classes.

The teacher doesn't have a college in the city.

"Okay, okay. I have a big yard at home, it's very beautiful. We can catch butterflies and have fun there!" Zheng Wanru became happy.

In order to ensure the speed of the cows, the team walked from early morning to noon before reaching the provincial capital.

Fang Tong asked his second brother to lead the carriage in line, and he ran to the back.

"Mr. Zheng, I'm so grateful for your care today. How about I treat you to a meal?"

He looked embarrassed.

It doesn't matter if I go slower, but I'm also slowing down the Zheng family.

Mr. Zheng is old, and his back aches after being jolted by the carriage for a long time. It's a little difficult for him to get out, so I just talk to him in the carriage.

"That's not necessary, Brother Fang. There's no need for this between our two families."

"Besides, my arms and legs are old and I can't move any more. I need to go back and rest."

Fang Tong thought so and didn't force it.

As soon as they entered the city, the two families went their separate ways.

The Zheng family has a house in the provincial capital, so naturally they will go back home.

Fang Tong and his family went to find an inn.

Mr. Zheng also invited them to stay at his home for a while.

Having been rejected by Fang Tong, how could they bother him? Favors need to be reciprocated, and since they couldn't repay Mr. Zheng for the time being, they had to try to take advantage of him as little as possible.

This time we still came to Chunfenglai Inn, and the room rate was only one-fifth of the previous price.

Fang Tong covered his heart with his hands, booked a room, and decided to sleep together with five people.

I only booked a room for one day.

He felt that this inn was too unscrupulous and he had to find a house and move in within a day.

Never waste extra money!

Therefore, the family just put down their luggage, rested for a while, had lunch, and then went out.

Fang Tong led the way to the dental clinic.

The pawnshops in the capital are much larger, at least you can’t see them all at a glance.

"I wonder what your requirements are for the house? How long do you want to rent it for?" the agent asked with a smile.

They have a very comprehensive resource of houses, so it is natural to ask more clearly so that they can find a suitable one.

"It needs four rooms, a kitchen, and some stables. It needs to be close to the government school. As for the lease term, if you're comfortable living there, you'll naturally want to stay for a year or two longer."

Fang Tong pondered for a moment.

"Sir, the houses near the prefectural school are very popular these days. There are only three left. Would you like me to take you to have a look?"

The broker's words were true.

There are always some students in the provincial school whose families are not in the provincial city and who are not used to living in the dormitory, so they have to rent a house outside.

So housing is in short supply there.

Fang Tong and his family looked at each other and agreed.

The first house the agent showed them was a two-story building with four or five rooms in each floor, and there was even a rockery in the backyard.

It looks elegant and graceful.

However, the price is also very high, five taels per month.

The second courtyard was on the main road after leaving the prefectural school. It had five rooms and a well, but it was too small.

Each room is very small. I guess if you put a bed and a box in it, there would be no room for anything else.

They were also not satisfied with the third courtyard because it only had three rooms.

Besides, the tables and chairs are too broken. They can’t afford to buy new ones, right?

It’s not easy to take away after buying it.

Fang Tong looked embarrassed: "Brother, there are no other houses?"

As they were talking, Fang Nanzhi came back with a bag of pears bought from a nearby vendor.

She gave the pears to each one and even gave one to the dealer: "Big brother, have a pear!"

The broker couldn't help but take over: "Brother, among these three, the first courtyard is actually quite good. I see that there are scholars in your family. The environment is elegant and very suitable."

After walking this distance, the broker has turned the master into a brother.

The main reason is that Fang Tong's temperament and behavior are so familiar. He is not like other masters who are pompous and decent.

Fang Tong was now squatting on the roadside and eating a pear with skillful movements, and he even asked the broker to squat with him.

"Brother, I am just a farmer. My son can only come to school if he has a bright future. Even if it is appropriate, I can't spend five taels a month just for the sake of elegance."

My family is not that rich yet.

You can't just pretend to be rich.

"Is there really no cheap house around here that meets my family's requirements?" Fang Tong couldn't help but ask again.

The toothbrush has already taken two bites of the pear. This is what is meant by "a person's mouth is soft when he has eaten someone's food."

He looked around and said, "Yes, there is. It's that house. It's quite interesting."

Fang Nanzhi came over at some point, she just loved to hear secrets.

"At the end of this street, there's a courtyard with a kitchen attached. There are six rooms in total, and the yard is big enough for growing vegetables."

"The price is also very cheap, only this much per month!"

The guarantor held up a finger.

"One tael of silver?"

Fang Tong became interested.

The yards we just looked at, except for the most expensive one, the other two are more than two or three taels.

It is said that this is the price of houses around the provincial school.
