I was killed by domestic violence, and I went crazy with barrage

Chapter 165 Lease
"Oh, oh, it's okay sister-in-law."

Jiang Anning came back to her senses from her initial surprise and thought that there was nothing important in her house anyway, so she didn't care too much about it.

Besides...

"I was the one who asked you to help me take care of the house, and I didn't even pay you. It's not worth paying you just for using the kitchen."

Jiang Anning declined, but Sui Ran insisted on paying her the rent at the end of the month.

After a long argument, Jiang An Ning finally couldn't get the upper hand and accepted five hundred coins as a monthly rent.

Sui Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid that Jiang An Ning would blame her, after all, she took it without asking... It's not nice to say it, but fortunately, from the look of her face, she didn't seem to be angry or minded.

Jiang Anning sat by the well and killed fish. He gutted two large black fish with clean and neat movements.

Sui Ran and Aunt Fang wanted to help, but Jiang An Ning smiled and said no, asking her to just go about her business and not delay the stall opening: "It's just killing fish, I can handle it, but I don't have much to do at home."

"That works."

Sui Ran didn't bother to be polite any more. After chatting for a few words, he went back to the kitchen to prepare the food for the stall today.

After entering the kitchen, he couldn't help but mutter to Aunt Fang: "Before yesterday, I really didn't think too far ahead. I just hoped that in this small town of ours, I could work hard to set up a stall every day, make a little money, and live a good life. That would be fine!"

"But yesterday, I listened to An Ning and brought the stall items to the county town. Then I realized that I was short-sighted before!"

"Although we made some thin-skinned wontons yesterday for convenience, we were also worried that the journey would be too long and the weather was hot, and the food would go bad. In the end, we only made some thin-skinned wontons to take with us. When we got there, we cooked them right away. But we were worried that we wouldn't be able to sell them, so we didn't dare to make too much for fear of wasting them. But what happened?"

Sui Ran sighed: "In just half a day's work, we can earn more than we can in a whole day's work in town. If..."

Just like in town, the stall is open three times a day.

Sui Ran felt extremely excited just thinking about it, and he only regretted that he could not move to the city immediately.

Aunt Fang felt the same heat in her heart.

Don’t blame them for being short-sighted, acting as if they have never seen money...they have never seen money in the first place!
The money they made from selling paper wontons at the stall yesterday was equivalent to what they earn from farming for half a year!

However, Aunt Fang was much calmer than Sui Ran, and she poured cold water on him at the right time: "It's good in the county town, and the prices of the things you sell can go up, but renting a house in the county town costs a lot of money!"

"For a family like us with no foundation, it's hard enough to rent a shop in town, let alone a county town... how can we even dream of it?"

I made some money selling paper wontons yesterday.

But this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket compared to the expenses in the county, or even just in the town!
Aunt Fang did some calculations with the people: "The main cost of the wontons we sold yesterday was flour. We used the wheat we had at home, which was scattered on the ridges of the fields. We only ground a little flour from it. If there was more, there would be no more."

"The wonton fillings are mostly vegetarian, made with cabbage from our own fields, wild vegetables dug at the beginning of the year, and mushrooms picked and dried. These don't cost much, and even if you sell them outside, you won't get much, so let's not calculate the cost for now."

"The meat was a small piece of pork belly the size of a palm that was left over from cooking. I chopped it up into small pieces and mixed it in. It didn't cost much and the amount I put in was very small."

"But if you really want to set up a stall to sell these things, you need several hundred coins to buy meat and vegetables every day."

"And there's also a stall. If you want to set up a proper stall in the county, you'll have to pay rent and taxes. After all these expenses, I'm afraid there won't be much money left."

Aunt Fang sighed, "We can earn at least half of the money now because we have output from the land and stock at home. We have enough vegetables and so on. We don't need to buy a lot. At most, we just spend money. We can cut two pounds of meat and kill two chickens every day, and that's enough."

"Once these fragmented outputs at home are not enough to support our supply, there will be less money left."

Aunt Fang sighed: "Besides, you have to rent a house outside. It's not like living in your own home, living in your own house, without any expenses..."

She also wants to move to the county town.

Unfortunately, I have no money in my pocket.

"At that time, I was just chatting with people and heard a few words about how much it cost to rent a house in the county town. It cost this much a month!"

Aunt Fang opened her hands and waved them in front of Sui Ran.

"Five hundred coins?"

Sui Ran boldly guessed a number, and Aunt Fang said, "Hey, where is it? Five taels of silver!"

hiss!
Sui Ran was really shocked by the number of five taels of silver: "It's so expensive? Yes, five taels of silver for a month?"

If it were a year, she thought that if she gritted her teeth, she might still have a chance to save up.

But if it's a month...

Wouldn't it cost sixty taels of silver that year?

She might not have the chance to earn so much money in her lifetime.

"Isn't it?"

Aunt Fang sighed: "But that person also said that if you want something cheaper, there are some, but you have to look carefully. If you are in a hurry, it will definitely not work."

Sui Ran felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on him, and his fiery heart instantly cooled down.

She grumbled with some self-pity: "Why couldn't I be born in a county town?"

Aunt Fang glanced at her and advised, "Everyone has his own destiny. Don't get stuck in a rut."

Sui Ran sighed: "I know, sometimes, I can't help but complain that God is unfair..."

"You're getting more and more ridiculous!" Aunt Fang interrupted her, scolding: "Can you talk about God so casually?"

"Be careful of bad spirits that don't work well!"

Sui Ran pursed his lips: "I didn't say anything."

She sighed, still feeling somewhat dissatisfied.

God has never been fair.

She had not read much, otherwise, she would have shouted at this moment: Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers born with different races?

Why should people who are born the same be divided into different classes?
We are all human beings, all living beings, so why is it that some people are born with fine clothes and delicious food, living a luxurious life, while others cannot even afford a full meal, let alone eating meat every meal, which they can only dream of.

Sui Ran was unwilling, but he also knew that Aunt Fang was right.

She felt uncomfortable for only a moment, but soon calmed down and turned her attention back to the task at hand.

"I don't know if there will be any cheap and suitable houses for rent in Anning."

Sui Ran muttered something quietly, but he was too embarrassed to bother Jiang An Ning again.

Aunt Fang was silent for a moment, thinking: "How about we go and ask?" She was actually quite excited about setting up a stall in the county town.

Especially after the Jiang Genshan incident, she beat Zhou Ran again and felt that it would be better to stay away from him for a while.

What's more, having money in your pocket will give you more confidence when dealing with things in the future.

Aunt Fang sighed, "You know, Jiang Genshan lost a lot of money to that bastard Zhou Ran. He borrowed a lot of money without telling me!"

"How much does he earn in a month? He has to have work all the time. If he can't find work one day, that day will be wasted. Even if I empty my family's savings and use it all to pay off his debts, it still won't be enough to pay him back."

Whenever Aunt Fang thought about the fact that she would be facing debt collection for a long time in the future, she couldn't help but feel even more anxious and depressed.

"If we can really go to the county town, our two families can rent a room together and start a business together. Maybe we can really make more money than we do in town."

"But this is just my plan."

"Let's stabilize this business in town first before we talk about other things. I've noticed that more and more people are setting up stalls to sell meals at various construction sites recently!"

Aunt Fang snorted coldly: "Although the food they cook is not very delicious, they sell it cheaply, as if they don't care about the cost..."

She paused. "I wonder if these people really have no costs? Such a large portion of meat dishes is actually cheaper than our vegetarian dishes."

"Maybe they have some ways that we don't know about?" Sui Ran was also a little worried about this matter.

However, she was still simple-minded and did not think of the worst.

Aunt Fang always felt that something was wrong, but without any evidence, she really couldn't say bad things about other people's families.

"Anyway, if this continues, I think... our business will only get worse and worse."

Think about it, everyone sells similar dishes, yours is just better than others, other than that there is nothing else worth praising. Even the meat dishes sold by others are much cheaper than your vegetarian dishes, so more people will definitely be willing to buy the cheaper ones.

If you can save a few more dollars, then the taste of the food won’t be that important.

As long as it's edible, it's fine.

“That’s true.”

The two of them were in the kitchen, each worried for a while, talked for a while, and then the meal was ready.

Jiang Guicheng hurried over, his hair on his forehead was still slightly wet, and it looked like he had just washed his face in a hurry and hurried over.

"Brother Guicheng is here."

Jiang Anning looked up and saw someone, and greeted him politely.

Jiang Guicheng slapped his forehead and said, "Look at me. I've been so busy these past two days that I forgot to tell you about the kitchen in your house..."

He briefly explained the reason for renting Jiang Anning's kitchen, but he didn't have the chance to tell anyone about it at first.

"...Speaking of this matter, it was your sister-in-law and I who made the decision. If you don't want to, we will find another way tomorrow."

He had already discussed this with Sui Ran yesterday. If Jiang An Ning didn't want to do this, they couldn't force her.

The money that is due must be given, and the compensation that is due must also be given.

It was indeed that they took the initiative to occupy An Ning's kitchen without informing anyone in advance.

Later, when Jiang Anning came back, they were distracted by Jiang Genshan's incident and forgot about the matter.

When they thought about it last night, they both regretted it so much.

Jiang Anning was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Guicheng told me about the kitchen when she came. I don't think there's any problem. After all, this house has to be occupied. With your help to take care of it, it will be a good thing for the maintenance of the house if someone uses the kitchen."

"Don't worry too much, Brother Guicheng."

"I have already told Sister Guicheng that you can use the kitchen as you please."

"What's the money? I asked you to look after my house, but I didn't pay you, did I?"

"Asking for money is too unorthodox!"

Jiang Guicheng listened to this and his mind moved slightly: "Then... An Ning, I want to discuss something with you, is it possible?"

"What's the matter?" Jiang Anning wiped his hands and said, "Brother Guicheng, please tell me first."

Jiang Guicheng rubbed his hands nervously. Sui Ran and Aunt Fang had come out of the kitchen at this time. They looked at him, which made him even more nervous.

"I wonder if you don't plan to come back to the village often, could you rent this house to us?"

Jiang Guicheng spoke somewhat stiffly, his eyes turning in the direction where Sui Ran was standing.

"What?"

When he heard that Jiang Guicheng wanted to rent Jiang Anning's house, Sui Ran was the most surprised.

"Why are you thinking of renting a house?"

I didn’t talk about this last night!

This man actually dared to act on his own!
Sui Ran was a little angry. He looked at Jiang Guicheng with a sullen face, waiting for him to give an explanation.

Jiang Anning was also a little surprised: "Why did Brother Guicheng suddenly want to rent my house..."

If you want to sell meals for a convenient time, it would be more cost-effective to rent a house in town.

Jiang Guicheng's family already has a place to live in the village, so there is really no need to rent her house.

If the purpose is just to use her kitchen, then there is no need for that!

She had already agreed to lend them the kitchen, so there was no need to go through the trouble of renting her house.

Jiang Guicheng rubbed his hands and said with some embarrassment: "Sister An Ning, you also know that every family has its own problems. Although my family has been divided, we are poor. Although we are divided, the whole family still lives under the same roof and no one has moved out."

"Of course, it's not that we don't want to move out, but we really have limited means. We don't have the money to buy a new residential plot, let alone build a new house. We can only continue to live in this crowded and huddled together."

Jiang Guicheng sighed, "You can see that it's not convenient to do anything at home, so we resorted to this desperate measure and occupied your kitchen without informing you."

"If possible, I think you might as well rent the house to us. That way, even if you don't come back often, there will be someone to take care of the house and it won't get damaged!"

"Besides, if you come back, you and your sister-in-law will get along well, so you can definitely live together..."

Jiang Guicheng scratched his head in embarrassment: "Besides, your yard is big. If you tidy it up, you can grow a lot of things."

He thought, if he could make use of this big yard and grow some vegetables and raise some chickens, ducks, geese, etc., it would definitely save some money instead of buying everything out, right?
