It can be said that Li Moer is the only one in Beijing who has used some tricks to occupy two courtyards. Scorpion Baba is a unique existence.

Wei Shengjing's family situation is basically the same as Du Zhiteng's, and they worry about housing all day long.

Ever since Li Zhihe and his wife moved into Old Man Shi's yard, one could occasionally hear the couple moaning a few times in the past few days. But after the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the yard became unusually quiet, and one could no longer hear the couple's exclamations.

Just then, on the first day of the new year, when they were celebrating their birthdays, the two of them gathered together. During the conversation, Wei Shengjing said, "Look next door, there's a large courtyard with three entrances, but only the couple and their three children live there. It would be great if they could rent a room to each of us. There are only a few of them, and so many houses are empty. It's a serious waste of resources!"

Du Zhiteng thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go and ask them if they're willing to rent us a room each? Of course, if they're willing to rent us two more rooms, that would be even better. Besides, with more people, we won't have to be afraid even if the female ghost comes.

Wei Shengjing nodded in agreement, and the two of them knocked on the door of Li Zhihe's house that day.

The person who opened the door was Li Moer's cousin Li Ping. After she opened the door and leaned against two strangers, she turned around and called her mother: "Mom, two strangers, please come over."

Liu Zhaodi walked out, wiping her hands on her apron. When she reached the gate, she looked at the two people outside and said, "Who are you looking for? What's going on?"

Wei Shengjing said, "Well, sister, we want to discuss something with you."

Liu Zhaodi looked puzzled and asked, "What's going on?" Wei Shengjing said, "Well, we'd like to ask if you'd be willing to rent us a room each. We're willing to pay rent. You have so many empty rooms, it would be great to rent them to us and collect some rent. Besides, this courtyard was haunted a while ago, so you don't have to be so scared when we come. We're both very brave people."

Liu Zhaodi shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, we don't rent out rooms."

Wei Shengjing and Du Zhiteng became anxious upon hearing this. Wei Shengjing quickly added, "Sister, please reconsider. We'll definitely pay a lot for the rent, and we're honest people. We won't cause any trouble for you." Du Zhiteng chimed in, "Yeah, there are so many empty rooms sitting idle anyway. Renting them to us can bring in some extra income."

Liu Zhaodi frowned, feeling a little hesitant, but still said hesitantly, "I need to discuss this with my husband." Wei Shengjing's eyes lit up, and he said quickly, "Okay, please discuss it quickly, and we'll wait for your news. We really want to rent your house. You see, it's not easy for us either. We've been worried about finding a place."

Liu Zhaodi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk to him as soon as possible and let you know when I have any news." Wei Shengjing and Du Zhiteng hurriedly told Liu Zhaodi that they lived next door and wanted to rent a house because their house was too crowded. After that, the two left with full of expectations.

The two were walking on the street, still discussing how it would be great if they could rent her house so that they wouldn't have to worry about housing problems in the future.

Liu Zhaodi went back to the house to continue cooking. A moment later, Li Zhihe came back. Liu Zhaodi told him about Wei Shengjing and Du Zhiteng's desire to rent a house. Li Zhihe slammed his chopsticks on the table and said, "Are you stupid? Don't you know that the biggest headache for many landlords nowadays is chasing those tenants out? These people are like dog-skin plasters. Once they stick, they can't be pulled off."

Tell them tomorrow that we don’t rent out houses.
