Dad, we are so stable, should we do something?

Chapter 120 Renting a House

“I listen to the sound.”

"That's clear, but they might be traveling the same way as us. You might be making a mistake."

"No, I know."

“Are there many people?”

"Not much, we have enough to handle. Maybe just tracking and investigating what we are going to do?"

"That's good."

"It looks like someone from the tribe is here to investigate. We should be careful when we get there."

"Sister Fang, what should we do? If we buy a large number of shops, won't they know about it? Will they stop us?"

"Not sure, but they've already followed us, so we have to be careful."

"Well, it's best if they don't know what we're going to do."

"Yes, at present, only Master Xu knows our plan. He will definitely not tell anyone. Now we can only act as quickly as possible and pave the way before they find out what we are going to do."

Tian Xing'er and others sped up and arrived at the neighboring Xu County in a few days.

"Shopkeeper, stay at the hotel."

"Okay, everyone, how many rooms do you need?"

"Give us a few upper rooms, the kind that can accommodate two people in one room." Fang Shiya put an ingot of silver on the counter.

"Okay, waiter, take you upstairs."

"Sister Fang, when are we going to go see the shop? Do you know this area?" Tian Xing'er asked as soon as they put their things away.

"No hurry, let's take a look first. My caravan has also passed through this area. Let's take a rest today and walk around in the next few days. We have plenty of time, so let those people follow slowly."

"What can you do?"

"I have sent someone to make contact. When we go shopping, the second steward will take people to find the shops we want. We can then look for some workshops. I think we can set up a workshop in various places. It would be best if we can find cooperative farmers to provide us with raw materials such as raw silk and hemp."

"Well, this does save some transportation costs."

On the second day, Tian Xing'er and his friends randomly found a broker and asked him to take them to see some houses that could be used as workshops.

"Ladies, take a look at this house. The place is big and the lighting is good. Most importantly, the yard is big and you can grow some vegetables here." Huang Yazi introduced enthusiastically.

"It looks good, but we want to take a closer look. This house is good, but it's too close to the next door. We want an independent one, preferably one with few people next door."

"My ladies, as the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Why don't you want a neighbor? The villagers in this village have someone to take care of them. If you are the only family, then if something happens, you won't be able to find anyone to help you, right?"

"There are many of us and we don't want to disturb others. It's inconvenient to get in and out when there are too many people." When Fang Shiya does something like this, Tian Xing'er acts like a child.

"Oh, you want to buy it and rent it out? That's fine. Besides, the houses here are really good. Many people from other places come to work here. Buying one and renting it out is a good idea. Then I'll take you to see a few more houses to see if you like them.

Does my lady have any other preferences, such as wanting to buy something in East City or West City?"

"No, as long as there is a suitable house, we don't really care where it is."

"Then I think this place in East City is good. It's close to the city gate and it's easier to rent out."

"Okay, let's go there and take a look."

Huang Yazi took them to see two more houses, but Tian Xing'er and the others had reasons not to like them. If they hadn't generously treated him to meals and paid him for running errands for the whole day, they would never have wanted to take the two young ladies to see houses in the afternoon.

"I'm so sorry. We think the houses you showed us are not what we want to see. Let me take a look around here. Do you have any smaller shops that can be used as stores?" Seeing that the houses Huang Yazi showed us today were all good, Fang Shiya took the initiative to inquire about some that were suitable to be used as small stores.

"Yes, there are quite a few. If you want to see them, I can take you to see them tomorrow."

"Oh, no, we're not considering it right now. I just thought we could look for you again if we have the chance in the future."

"Okay, it's okay. I'll tell you when I find a more suitable house. I'll go back now."

After Huang Yazi left, Tian Xinger and Fang Shiya discussed the arrangements for the next few days.

The next day they found another house agent to look at houses, but after another day of searching, they still didn't find anything they wanted.

The same thing happened on the third day, but on the fourth day they really saw a very suitable place.

"This house is good. It's big enough and can be renovated. It's shabby, but it's cheap." Yazi said as he introduced it.

"Yes, it's possible. The location is also good. It's far from the city, but not too remote and not crowded, and close to the outskirts of the city. Then we'll book this place." Fang Shiya finally decided on this house and quickly registered the transfer.

"If I wasn't afraid of being identified as an illegal resident by the county's real estate agency, I would really like to shop around for a few more days, and those people would also accompany us." Tian Xing'er said while drinking tea in the living room.

"If we hadn't spent that much money, no one from the dental clinic would have wanted to pick us up on the third day. But I did see the people who were following us. I didn't expect them to be so persistent. They got tired after following us for two days."

"Hahaha, I even asked a kid to bring him a glass of water. I'm afraid he had diarrhea all day. It's a pity that I didn't see him holding his stomach with my own eyes."

"Hahaha, right, right, sister Xing'er, you have a trick. It's good to make them suffer a little. Maybe after that time, they found out that we knew we were being followed, so they left. If we had known earlier, we would have taken action earlier. We have been walking for so many days."

"Has the shop been bought yet, Second Steward?"

"We've bought it. Let's go to the village tomorrow to have a look. The second steward said that there are people in a village not far from us who specialize in growing mulberry and hemp."

"No wonder the second steward insisted that we buy this. I don't want to buy a shabby house and have to clean it up and hire someone to repair it. It's too troublesome."

"It's a bit troublesome, but it's also broken. We can tear it down completely, remodel it, and build a few houses next to it for people to live in."

"Yes, then we should choose these shabby houses in the future."

"I'm afraid of being discovered if I choose all of these. This behavior is too abnormal."

"All right."

On the second day, Amada Yukiji and his companions arrived at Sangma Village outside the city. The village got its name because it is famous for producing silk and hemp. The farmers here seem to be wealthier than those in other villages. As soon as they entered the village, they found that the road had been repaired and none of the houses on both sides were dilapidated. There were even a few large blue brick houses.

"Is this Huang Cunzheng's home?" Fang Shiya had asked someone to inquire about this place yesterday, so the two of them went straight to Cunzheng's place early in the morning.
