"Brother Jin Yu? Bao Yin!"

The greeting came from inside, which surprised both Li Jinyu and Zhao Baoyin.

Zhao Baoyin, standing at the door, turned his head and saw Gu Xin walking hurriedly towards him.

"Ah Xin?"

Zhao Baoyin's face lit up with joy, and he couldn't help but go to greet him.

Li Jinyu got up and walked out of the courtyard. When she saw Gu Xinshi, a smile appeared on her face.

Both of them shook off their worries and no longer had their previous bitter faces.

"Have you eaten, Ah Xin?"

Li Jinyu stepped forward and asked, "Come on in, sit down. I'll have my mother cook you some porridge."

"Brother Jinyu, I'm skipping the meal. I came to tell you something."

Gu Xin grabbed Li Jinyu's arm and at the same time pulled Zhao Baoyin's wrist.

"What's going on? Why are you making such a fuss?"

Zhao Baoyin was puzzled.

Li Jinyu looked solemnly at Gu Xin.

The three brothers looked at each other, and Gu Xin then smiled and said, "I want to help you move."

"move place?"

Gu Xin's words left everyone stunned.

"Why are you moving all of a sudden? Where are you moving to?"

Zhao Baoyin couldn't help but laugh, finding Gu Xin's words extremely amusing.

"Ah Xin, is something wrong?"

Li Jinyu didn't laugh; instead, her brows furrowed, and her expression became even more solemn.

Upon hearing Li Jinyu's words, Zhao Baoyin's smile vanished quickly, and his expression turned serious.

"Something happened?"

Zhao Baoyin looked at Gu Xin intently.

Gu Xin paused for a moment, then nodded.

"What's wrong? Is it serious? Why do we need to move?"

Zhao Baoyin's expression changed slightly, and his heart sank.

Isn't this a case of misfortunes never coming singly?

"Come on, let's go inside and talk!"

Li Jinyu nudged Zhao Baoyin and said, "Baoyin, go and bring your uncle and aunt to my house."

Zhao Baoyin was taken aback, realizing that this was not the place to talk, and immediately turned around and walked towards his home.

Zhao Yongfu had already heard the commotion, came to the courtyard gate, and opened the fence gate.

"Dad, go to Uncle Rengui's house. Ah Xin has something to say. I'll go find Mom."

Zhao Baoyin helped Zhao Yongfu out of the courtyard, gave him some instructions, and then went inside to look for his mother, Liu Sufeng.

Li Jinyu and Gu Xin helped Zhao Yongfu into Li Jinyu's house first.

A short while later, Zhao Baoyin arrived with his mother, Liu Sufeng.

Hearing the commotion, Li Rengui and Zhang Fang opened the door early and welcomed everyone inside.

After everyone had entered the house, Zhang Fang gently closed the door and locked it from the inside.

"Ah Xin, what happened? Tell me!"

Li Jinyu lit the grease lamp and began to inquire earnestly.

Gu Xin looked around at everyone, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "You all know about the many things that have happened to the Qinglin Gang recently, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances and nodded in unison.

"Since you all know this, then you should be very clear that the Qinglin Gang will not let this go and will definitely take retaliatory action."

Gu Xin bluntly stated, "They will spare no expense to find targets for revenge. At that time, the outer city will definitely be in chaos, and it will no longer be safe."

"Especially those of us who have grudges against the Qinglin Gang, they will be targeted first by the Qinglin Gang as a warning to others. So, if we stay here, we will definitely be in trouble."

Everyone's hearts tightened, knowing that Gu Xin's words were not an exaggeration.

The Li Jinyu family, in particular, were deeply troubled and filled with anxiety.

"That makes sense, but if we're moving, where can we go? Leave Qingyuan County?"

Zhao Baoyin raised his concerns: "Will the Qinglin Gang agree to let us leave Qingyuan County at this time? Will they even allow us to leave?"

"If we leave Qingyuan County, the Qinglin Gang will probably suspect we're the problem immediately, right?"

Ping'anfang was the poorest neighborhood in the outer city of Qingyuan County, and it was the area where the poorest people in Qingyuan County lived.

Given their financial situation, where else could they move to besides other counties?

Go to a rural mountain village?

It's probably even less safe now.

Zhao Baoyin's words caused the others to look worried as well.

Seeing this, Gu Xin laughed and said, "We won't leave Qingyuan County, but will move to the inner city."

"What? The inner city?"

Zhao Baoyin exclaimed in shock, "Ah Xin, are you crazy? Do you think we can move into a place like the inner city?"

"What are our family circumstances? What is our background? Do we even deserve to go to a place like that?"

"Besides, our household registrations are all in the outer city. Even if we can get into the inner city, without a residence, we'll still be kicked out."

At this point, Zhao Baoyin looked at Gu Xin with a suspicious gaze: "Are we going to stay at an inn in the inner city? What kind of expenses would that be? Can we afford it?"

Everyone nodded in agreement with Zhao Baoyin's words.

It wasn't that they didn't want to go to the inner city, but that kind of place was simply not a place for lowly commoners like them to enter.

"Splash!"

Seeing that everyone looked listless, Gu Xin smiled and raised his hand.

Then a bunch of copper keys fell from his palm, dangling in mid-air and making a sound.

"This is?"

Witnessing this scene, everyone was astonished, filled with a mixture of surprise and doubt.

"Door key".

Gu Xin smiled and said, "I have already prepared a residence in the inner city, a large two-courtyard house. Here is the key to the gatehouse."

"hiss!"

As soon as Gu Xin finished speaking, everyone gasped.

"Ah Xin, are you serious?"

Zhao Baoyin snatched the key and began to examine it carefully.

"Houses in the inner city aren't cheap, and large houses with two courtyards are even more expensive. Even renting one would cost several taels of silver a month."

"It wasn't rented, it was bought."

"What? You bought it?"

Everyone was utterly shocked by Gu Xin's words, and they were all dumbfounded and speechless.

Ah Xin actually bought a large two-courtyard house in the inner city?

Is this a dream?

How could he afford it?

That's several dozen taels of silver!

Everyone looked at Gu Xin with expressions as if they had seen a ghost, their eyes scrutinizing him and their suspicions undisguised.

"Mom, slap me! Quick, slap me!"

After being stunned for a while, Zhao Baoyin came to his senses, turned around, grabbed his mother Liu Sufeng's hand, and slapped his cheeks.

This silly boy...

Liu Sufeng pushed Zhao Baoyin's head away in an annoyed manner.

"Ah Xin, where did you get so much money? Didn't you used to...?"

Li Jinyu swallowed hard and couldn't help but ask.

Just a few days ago, Gu Xin didn't even have the money to pay for becoming a disciple at the martial arts school.

"Brother Jinyu, don't worry, the house is fine, just move in."

Gu Xin didn't explain, but urged, "Time waits for no one. To avoid any unforeseen problems, we'd better move tonight."

This……

Everyone was surprised and suspicious, exchanging glances with complicated expressions.

They never dreamed they would have the chance to move to the inner city in their lifetime.

"No! Ah Xin, we can't move it!"

Just as everyone was getting excited and couldn't wait to pack their bags, Li Jinyu stopped them.

Why?

Zhao Baoyin looked at Li Jinyu suspiciously and asked.

Li Jinyu glanced at Zhao Baoyin, then looked at Gu Xin seriously and said, "The Qinglin Gang has just had so many troubles, and we're moving overnight? Isn't that just like protesting too much? Xin, do you think that's appropriate?"

Brother Jin Yu has realized something's wrong...

Gu Xin's smile remained unchanged; he knew he couldn't hide it from Li Jinyu.

Moving is indeed a bit of a hassle.

Moving is troublesome, but not moving is even more troublesome.

But moving to the inner city would at least offer some degree of safety.

"Xin, you're hiding something from us, aren't you?"
