Chapter 22
Pushed by Zhou Kui out of the county office, Xiao Mo found that there was another person beside the carriage. Xiao Mo saw that it was Lin Yiye who he was talking about, so he stepped forward and asked, "Liang An, did you find the house?"

Lin Yiye shook his head, with a helpless expression, then took the wheelchair from Zhou Kui, pushed it himself and said, "There is a house, but... oh! Forget it, let me go and see it first."

Xiao Mo asked: "But it's near the county government office?"

Lin Yiye nodded: "Of course it's close. After passing the intersection ahead, it's in the alley that turns left. You don't know how hard it is to find a house in Shen County now..."

Xiao Mo was pushed by Lin Yiye, Zhou Kui led the carriage and followed behind. Wheelchairs were rare in ancient times, and there was a carriage behind him. This ostentation certainly attracted the attention of many people!
Lin Yiye deserved to be a chatterbox, and he couldn't stop pushing Xiao Mo's words, Lin Yiye said: "Ziheng, do you know why the housing in Shen County is so tight now?"

How could Xiao Mo want to play quiz games with Lin Yiye?Shaking his head directly to express that he didn't know, Lin Yiye saw it and told what he had seen and heard.

It turns out that the housing shortage in Shen County is because a group of refugees from the north have flowed into Shen County. Because the imperial court has issued instructions, the state governments cannot ignore the refugees, so the county has to find a way to resettle them, except for setting up tents outside the city In addition, many idle houses in the county were also expropriated.

It stands to reason that Shenxian County is now in a year of severe drought. There are more people fleeing famine in the county, and the houses should be loosened. However, the county town of Shenxian County is just the opposite. Finding a vacant house can be difficult!

Lin Yiye said a lot to Xiao Mo, and Xiao Mo also heard it. What Lin Yiye meant was that there are no vacant houses in Shen County now. I don't know what Lin Yiye meant, so Xiao Mo asked: " Didn't you find a house?"

"Yes..." Lin Yiye nodded, his face was a little embarrassed, and his voice became softer: "However, it is said that this house is not very clean..."

"Not clean? What do you mean?" Xiao Mo asked.

Lin Yiye looked at the carriage behind, as if he was afraid of being heard by Meng Qiuxiang and Yuniang in the carriage. Seeing that the carriage was not very far away from him, he whispered in Xiao Mo's ear: "It is said that there is a female ghost causing trouble. , Even the original owner of the house was scared away, but that family has an elder brother who lives in the east of the city, and the deed is in his hands, because it is a haunted house, so the price is very cheap, only ten taels of silver!"

As he talked, he arrived in front of the haunted house that Lin Yiye said. Xiao Mo looked at it and found that the scale of the house was not small. From the outside, the house looked a bit dilapidated, but it was in line with the appearance of the haunted house on TV, but it was smaller than Xiao's house. The house is much bigger.

Because he couldn't see what was going on inside the house, Xiao Mo didn't make a conclusion. As for Lin Yiye's haunting, Xiao Mo smiled disdainfully.

As a college student with a scientific education, of course I don't believe in ghosts and gods.

Xiao Mo asked: "What's going on inside?"

Lin Yiye shook his head and said, "I didn't dare to go in, isn't it unclean inside?"

Xiao Mo rolled his eyes, and said to Lin Yiye: "Go and let the boss come!"

Lin Yiye nodded and left, when the carriage stopped, Meng Qiuxiang and Yuniang stayed in the carriage for a whole morning, and they got out of the carriage and came to Xiao Mo's side.

Seeing the towering house, Meng Qiuxiang immediately frowned, and asked, "Xiao Mo, how much silver do you get for such a big house?"

Xiao Mo said: "It's not expensive, ten taels of silver."

Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Meng Qiuxiang looked disbelieving, and winked at Yuniang. Yuniang understood, knowing that Meng Qiuxiang was afraid that Xiao Mo would buy such a big house at a high price without telling her, so she let herself Watch carefully.

At noon, Lin Yiye led a middle-aged man to the front of the house, saw Xiao Mo sitting in a wheelchair, the middle-aged man hurried forward to salute and said: "Little man Niu Da, I have met Master Sihu! "

Xiao Mo frowned and asked, "Your name is Niu Da?"

Niu Da nodded, he looked like a farmer, Xiao Mo couldn't believe that the younger brother of a farmer had such a large house in the county, so he asked: "Who owns this house?"

Niu Da replied: "My lord, this house belongs to a brother of the villain clan. Because there are unclean things in the house, the clan brother dare not live in it. I hand over the house deed to the villain. The house is sold at a low price!"

Looking at Niu Da's appearance, he seems to be quite honest. If he was a cunning person, he would definitely not tell the haunted house in front of the buyer. Xiao Mo nodded and believed Niu Da, but Yu Niang next to him heard When the house was not clean, he held Xiao Mo's arm in fear, saw Xiao Mo nodding, and quickly said: "Zi Heng, there are dirty things in this house, you must not buy them!"

At this time, Meng Qiuxiang had already returned to the car to rest. Because Yuniang was excited, she spoke a little loudly. Xiao Mo was afraid that Yuniang would wake Meng Qiuxiang up, and then Meng Qiuxiang, like Yuniang, refused to buy this So Zhaizi messed up the business, so he said to Yuniang: "Just take a look first, please keep your voice down!"

Who knows that Yuniang didn't listen at all, and said to Xiao Mo: "I won't, mother said, let me watch you, just to prevent you from doing anything wrong, this house is not clean, you still have to look at it, if you mess with it Clean things, you... what do you want us to do?"

I just wanted to buy a house to settle down. I didn't expect that Yuniang would object in this way, and even say such things as misbehavior. After hearing this, Xiao Mo shrugged helplessly to Lin Yiye and Niu Da, and then said: "Go and open the door first. Don't be afraid, it's noon now, the sky is bright and bright, where is there anything unclean?"

Seeing that Lin Yiye was still hesitant, Xiao Mo said: "Brother Liang An, you and I are scholars, you must know that there is righteousness in the world, what are you afraid of?"

Lin Yiye gritted his teeth, and went to open the door with Niu Da, Xiao Mo then turned around and said to Yuniang: "I ask you, are you in charge of the family, or me?"

It seems that we must make it clear to the little girl, otherwise, if this continues, relying on Meng Qiuxiang as the backing, I am afraid that Yuniang will really ride on her head.

Xiao Mo is the only man in the family, of course Yu Niang said: "Of course you are the one who decides..."

"That's right!" Xiao Mo was very satisfied with Yuniang's answer, and then said: "Do you know that today in the county government, your father has already reported the Xiao family to Mr. Li?"

"Ah?" Yu Niang yelled in surprise when she heard the words, looked at Xiao Mo in a panic and said, "How could this happen? Dad clearly promised me..."

Hearing Yuniang's words, Xiao Mo finally understood that it was actually Qiao Zheng who allowed Yuniang to return to Xiao's house this time. Since Qiao Zheng allowed Yuniang to come back, why did he go to the county to complain?
Thinking of what Li Ji said to himself, Xiao Mo finally realized that Qiao Zheng didn't come to the county government office to file a complaint. The complaint was just an excuse. In fact, Qiao Zheng came to the county government office to ask Li Ji for an explanation. Now I value myself, so I want to take this opportunity to generalize myself and force myself to express my opinion.

To put it bluntly, it was Yuniang's business, Qiao Zheng wanted Xiao Mo to marry Yuniang, and give Yuniang a title!Since Xiao Hao had already tore up their marriage certificate before his death, the marriage between Yuniang and Xiao Hao can't be counted, and Xiao Mo married Yuniang, which makes sense!
After understanding Qiao Zheng's thoughts and knowing that Yuniang is interested in him, Xiao Mo has no other choice. Besides, Yuniang really has nothing to say to the Xiao family, so Xiao Mo can't be ungrateful!
After making up his mind, Xiao Mo said to Yuniang: "Don't panic, your father didn't come here to sue, but to force me to marry you. Since my elder brother stepped forward to tear up your marriage certificate, and let you marry me without telling you. You have worked hard at the Xiao family for three years, so it is understandable for me to marry you, and when I am free in a few days, I will go to your father's place to propose marriage, what do you think?"

Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Yuniang was stunned for a moment, then she blushed and lowered her head. Seeing Xiao Mo, she said: "Don't be too happy, as I said, I will go to your father in a few days , if I am dissatisfied these few days, I will regret it!"

When Yuniang heard this, the joyful mood just now became tense again, she looked at Xiao Mo pitifully, the tears in her eyes were already spinning.

Is this girl made of water?
Xiao Mo shook his head, but what he said just now was indeed serious, although Xiao Mo wanted to beat Yuniang.But Yu Niang is indeed of this nature and needs to be beaten.

Seeing Yuniang's pitiful look, Xiao Mo felt that the beatings should be enough, so he asked, "Should we still see this house?"

Yu Niang glanced at Xiao Mo, and said timidly: "There are unclean things in this house, I dare not live in it! Mother said..."

It seems that the beating was not enough, Xiao Mo looked at the little girl and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, don't talk about your mother, tell me about you, are you going to marry me or my mother?"

Xiao Mo asked bluntly, even though Yu Niang was shy, but because she really liked Xiao Mo, she could only softly say: "Of course I married you..."

"Very good!" Xiao Mo nodded approvingly, and asked again: "Then do you want to listen to me or others?"

Yu Niang thought for a while and said, "Mother is not someone else..."

Well, so much talk in vain!Xiao Mo had no choice but to take out his last trump card, and said to Yuniang: "Let me tell you directly, I want to work in the county, I want to make a career, there is no place where I can settle down, how can I achieve great things?"

At the end, Xiao Mo added: "Besides, there are no vacant houses in Shen County now. Could it be that you let our family sleep on the street? Wouldn't that be the same as a beggar? Will your father agree to let you marry a beggar?"

Being asked by Xiao Mo, she had nothing to say, so Yuniang could only stammer: "Then, that unclean thing..."

Xiao Mo said: "Don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen! But if you dare to tell mother, then something will happen to you!"

After intimidating Yuniang, Xiao Mo let Zhou Kui push him to the front of the house.

 Sure enough, the snow did not melt the snow, and the sun came out, but it was even colder...
