“I heard that it's a family of three. How much is the rent per month?" Mrs. Li asked with a meaningful look in the eyes.

Village Chief Li replied: "1 silver coin per month. The money is given by Zhi'er. Awu works for them as a helper, so she takes good care of their food and shelter. Once their house is built, Awu and his family will live there."

1 silver coin? Mrs. Li's eyes immediately lit up. This old man only rented a room but he got 1 silver coin?

Who in the village does not know that Bai Zhi was rich? Last time, the country magistrate's wife rewarded her with 100 silver coins. It's 100 silver coins ah! The villagers saw it with their own eyes.

These past few days, Bai Zhi harvested her fully grown melons, she thought those melons will not be sold. But as a result, she heard this morning that a driver from a big restaurant came and bought almost a total of 100 pounds of her melons and said that he will come back again. With this, it can be said that Bai Zhi only needs to sit at home and collect her money. No wonder she was so generous.

The original contempt look in Mrs. Li's face disappeared in an instant. Her bitter face showed a fake a smile: "Father-in-law, you are old, your house is also small and old. It's not very convenient for them to live here. Let them live in our house."

Village Chief Li asked: "Live in your house? Aren't your house no longer have vacant s.p.a.ce?" Last time, when there was a heavy storm, the leaked in Village Chief Li’s house was too much. The room and their quilts got soaked in the rain. w.a.n.g Shugen originally intended to let his parents stay in their house until the weather got better or at least until the old couple's quilts dried up, but what did this daughter-in-law say? Without even batting an eye, she refused them, she said that there was no available room in their house. And there's no vacant s.p.a.ce to squeeze other people.

w.a.n.g Shugen was a coward. Whatever his wife decided, he can't bear to oppose her. In the end, he didn't say a word to convince his wife.

Village Cheif Li doesn't want to cause any trouble to his son, so he didn't say a word. When the weather got better, he called a craftsman in the town to repair their house. Their roof was also replaced with tiles, which cost a lot of money.

Because of this, the first daughter-in-law fired up in anger, she screamed that the old couple doesn't care about his eldest son and grandchildren, and just indiscriminately spent money.

At that time, Village Chief Li understood that, in this world, he couldn't count on someone else, he could only count on himself. For what reason they are saving money? They can't bring it in their grave. So now, as long as he and his wife can live peacefully for another day, for him, it's worth spending the money.

Mrs. Li’s facial expression didn't change, she simply said: "There is still s.p.a.ce in the house. Although it's a bit messy, I can clean it up for them."

Village Chief Li coldly snorted. If he not only giving his son and grandchildren a face, he will bring out a broom and chase away this evil woman out.

Village Chief Li asked his son: "What do you think?"

w.a.n.g Shugen felt embarra.s.sed. What can he say? If he opposes, his wife will definitely fight with him once they return home.

“I, I think, they can stay." w.a.n.g Shugen looked at his wife's face and said.

Mrs. Li clapped her hands: "Then, it's settled. Let Awu and his family go with us. They will live and eat at our house."

Village Chief Li looked at Awu and said: "Awu, what do you think? Where do you want to live, you can choose freely."

Awu is already 30 years old. He has experienced what he should experience. He also experienced what he shouldn't have experience. He experienced the warmness and coldness of human being. He understood the situation more than anyone else.

Mrs.Li's purpose, Village Chief Li's position, his heart know this very clearly.

Awu smiled and said: “Thank you, sister-in-law. But our family lives here comfortably. This place is also close to our boss's place. It's very convenient for me to go to work."
