Jin Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "Or I can go find the boss and ask him if he can take us in for two days. There's an abandoned stable in the boss's backyard. They used to raise three horses there, and I helped feed them. After those three horses were sent to the farm, I even cleaned the stable myself."

He paused, met his children's eyes, felt sad, and quickly comforted them.

"Really? Dad really cleaned it up. Let's sweep it up again, put down some hay, and smoke it with some mugwort. We can make do with it."

Yu Shi wiped away her tears.

"What kind of thing is this? We've worked in the capital for so many years, and in the end we have to live in someone else's stable with our sons and daughters..."

She looked at Jin Yuan again and gritted her teeth.

Originally, she wanted to say that if Jin Yuan's family hadn't come, in order to pave the way for him to buy books and paper, they could actually rent a better and longer-lasting small house.

At that time, they found a suitable one. The old man's children and grandchildren were not at home, so he was willing to rent two rooms to them and said that they could rent it for a longer period of time so that they could stay with him.

As long as they cooked a portion for him every day, he wouldn't eat much.

But just as they were discussing this, they received a letter from the head of the old family, asking them to take in Jin Zhikuan's family.

If they come, those two rooms won't be enough.

Moreover, they should consider giving the little money they have to Jin Yuan first.

Jin Zhikuan gave up that place without much hesitation.

As a result, within a few days, someone else rented it.

In her current situation, Youshi felt even more resentful towards Jin Yuan. She didn't know how many years it would take for him to repay her, and her family was already struggling to survive.

If it weren’t for the sumptuous and delicious meal just now, and if her stomach wasn’t rumbling at all, Youshi would really have to curse Jin Yuan.

Now, she doesn't dare.

After all, Jin Yuan is now his disciple.

Become a disciple? Oh, right, "His father, can we ask Jin Yuan's master to help..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Jin Zhong.

"Don't mess around."

He pulled her a little, asking her to speak more quietly, and then said, "Xiao Yuan has just become his disciple. Even if his master can help, he can only help Xiao Yuan. If he follows a large family like ours, how will Xiao Yuan face his master?"

How could it be that on the first day of apprenticeship, seven or eight people with their families would become a burden to the master?

"What if Xiao Yuan's masters and brothers get angry and don't want to accept him anymore?" Jin Zhong said, "Wouldn't that harm Xiao Yuan?"

Yu Shi tightly grasped the hands of her daughter and youngest son, feeling cold all over, but she did not dare to mention the matter again.

She also couldn't bear the responsibility of destroying the hopes of her entire clan.

"Let's get on the carriage," Lu Zhaoling called out to them. "Don't take the tattered quilts, and don't take the broken pots and pans."

"Brother Yuan, your senior sister is calling you." Jin Zhong's eldest son said to Jin Yuan. He clutched his sleeves tightly, his eyes inevitably showing envy.

Jin Yuan was taken away by his senior sister, so he would definitely have a place to stay and a bed to sleep on tonight. But he, his younger brother and sister, and his parents didn't know where to go.

"Big Sister?" Jin Yuan looked at Lu Zhaoling, "Are you calling me..."

"Call everyone in the Jin family."

Lu Zhaoling explained more clearly, "Everyone, get out of the alley and get in the carriage. I have a place for you to stay. Let's go."

"What? Me, are we going too?" Yu Shi opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

"Yes. Let's all go." Lu Zhaoling said, "You are my junior apprentice's relatives, so follow him."

"Ah! Brother Yuan, we can go with you too!" Several children reacted first and ran towards Jin Yuan excitedly.

The second cousin hugged Jin Yuan. "That's great, brother Yuan, thanks to you!"

The young people helped them get on the carriage, and Jin Zhikuan and others left in a daze.

When Lu Zhaoling passed by the Sun family trading company, he called out inside.

"Is Steward Tian here?"

Manager Tian was indeed there. When he heard Lu Zhaoling's voice, he immediately hurried out.

Lu Zhaoling knew that he was always careful and prudent in his work, and when the Cui residence was being renovated before, it was Manager Tian who often went to supervise the work, so he was also very clear about the situation in the Cui residence.

So it is most appropriate to ask him for help now.

She gestured to Qingbai to lift the curtain and let Manager Tian take a look.

Manager Tian was already very surprised as to why Lu Zhaoling and the others did not take the carriage. Now, when he looked inside, he saw a carriage full of people dressed in shabby gray clothes and looking a little uneasy. They were all crowded together and looking at him.

He subconsciously noted down who they were: a young woman, a child, a teenager, and two men.

Oh, is Jin Xiaoxiucai here too?

Manager Tian had naturally heard of Jin Xiaoxiucai, and he immediately knew who these people were.

The car curtain was lowered, blocking the Jin family's sight.

Lu Zhaoling said to Manager Tian, "Uncle Tian, you see, the place where they live has been flooded and they can't stay there. I plan to let them stay at Cui's house temporarily."

"So that's how it is. Miss Lu is so kind." Manager Tian nodded.

"What's good or bad?" Lu Zhaoling said with a smile, "Uncle Tian is one of us, so I'll tell you. Jin Yuan is my master's new apprentice. He will be my junior apprentice from now on. They are all his family members."

"Little Scholar Jin and Miss Lu actually have such a connection." Manager Tian was also surprised. "It seems that Miss Lu also likes this little junior brother very much."

Otherwise, with Lu Zhaoling around, it would definitely not be so easy to accept this little disciple.

"Yes, Uncle Tian, they have nothing now. Can you help them out? Have someone send them some things they can use. Just ordinary things will do."

As soon as Lu Zhaoling said the second half of the sentence, Manager Tian understood.

"Don't worry, Miss Lu. I'll deliver the things in half an hour."

Lu Zhaoling felt relieved after handing the matter over to Manager Tian.

They arrived at Cui's house.

Jin Zhong said in shock, "I know this place..."

When they were talking to Jin Zhikuan about Cui Liyue before, Jin Zhong and the others didn't hear it.

"This is my mother's house. You can settle down there first."

Lu Zhaoling asked Qingbao to make the arrangements, and some rules had to be explained to them clearly.

The Jin family never thought that after all their despair, they would suddenly find themselves living in such a nice house. It felt like a dream for a moment.

Several children were so excited that their faces turned red.

Manager Tian acted quickly and first had some mattresses, bathtubs, wooden basins, candlesticks, and oil, rice, and flour delivered.

After a while, some clothes, shoes and socks were delivered.

Qingbao took a look and found that they were indeed ordinary clothes that ordinary people could wear.

But it is new after all.

The Jin family already felt that their happiness was too real.

Lu Zhaoling said a few more words to Jin Yuan and left Qingsong here.
