The Farmer‘s Eldest Daughter Has a Spatial Pocket

Chapter 25: Three Taels a Month

Gu Yundong's eyes lit up. Sure, why not?

Moreover, they were young and weak. It was actually very difficult to choose a place to stay.

It was not safe for a family that was too complicated, especially if the landlord had an adult man at home. She had to worry that Madam Yang would be taken advantage of.

"How much is the rent?"

"Three taels a month."

"Hiss…" Gu Yundong gasped. One room!! Three taels a month??

The people in this city were all robbers, right?

Nie Cong also knew that the rent was a little expensive. Under normal circumstances, it would only be about one tael. Still, wasn't this an extraordinary period?

"There's nothing I can do about it. Actually, if it weren't for the fact that you guys don't have any adult men, I wouldn't have pulled this string for you. I have to think for my aunt's sake. I can't let her be in danger, right? The rent is a little expensive, but the location is not bad. It's also close to my house, so it's convenient to go out." Nie Cong said, "Besides, you can rest assured. If you accept, I can bring you to the government office to sign this lease. I won't cheat you."

Gu Yundong did not suspect that Nie Cong would cheat her. The details indicated his character. Nie Cong looked young, but his actions were very well-mannered. It was obvious that he had learned the rules properly since he was young.

Moreover, he was wearing soldiers' clothes outside, but his shoes were different from ordinary soldiers' shoes. His family did not lack money.

Especially when she was registering just now, she vaguely heard the registration officer call him Young Master Nie.

So…

"Let's go to the government office to sign the lease." In fact, ordinary rentals did not need to go to the government office. It was not like they were transferring the ownership.

This was obviously Nie Cong's suggestion to reassure her.

"Alright, wait a moment. I'll give some instructions and I'll be right there."

After Nie Cong handed over his shift, he led Gu Yundong's family of four towards the government office.

On the way, he learned about Gu Yundong's background. He learned that her father had gone missing and that she was chased out by her grandfather, grandmother, uncle, and aunt. He learned that she only had a little money on her and that she had helped others on the way to escape. A kind-hearted person had given the money to her and he sympathized with her for a moment.

Gu Yundong also secretly found out Nie Cong's background and felt much more at ease.

She felt that it was necessary to befriend such a person. He would definitely be useful in the future.

She couldn't spend three taels of silver for nothing. This chapter is updat𝓮d by nov(e)(l)biin.com

They walked to the entrance of the government office. Nie Cong asked Gu Yundong to place the pushcart outside.

Yes, Gu Yundong had dragged a pushcart all the way here. This pushcart was not cheap here.

Fortunately, there was a special place outside the government office to park it, and no one dared to steal it.

Only then did Gu Yundong carry Gu Yunke. Madam Yang carried Gu Yunshu and followed Nie Cong in.

The lease was quickly written and stamped. Nie Cong led her out again to take them to his aunt's house.

He had been busy with everything along the way. No matter how well-mannered he was, he could not have done all this just for her. Gu Yundong knew that Nie Cong must have other motives.

She was also direct. She stood at the entrance of the yamen and asked, "Young Master Nie, if there's anything you need my help with, you can just say it."

Nie Cong was stunned and a little embarrassed. "You can tell?"

"If Young Master Nie waits until everything is done, aren't you afraid that I won't agree?"

"Haha, actually, it's not anything major."

"Hmm?"

"It's just…"

Before he could say anything, a noisy commotion suddenly came from not far away.

Gu Yundong and the others subconsciously looked up and saw two constables dragging a person over. That person was also bold and kicked one of the constables over.

Gu Yundong looked at him in surprise. That person happened to look over as well. Their eyes met and Gu Yundong suddenly narrowed her eyes.
