Chapter 401 - 401 Gift
401 Gift
When Chi Tu heard this, he raised his eyebrows and walked into the courtyard.
“Everyone, our courtyard can’t accommodate anymore people. Please find another place,” Chi Tu said bluntly.
A guard said angrily, “We paid the rental fee of 20 taels of silver a day per person and even left a room for you. Why should we leave!”
Chi Tu said calmly, “The price of rice and food has increased recently, so the rent naturally has to increase too.”
“How much do you want to increase?”
“It’s not much, just a little more.” Chi Tu gestured with her hand and said, “200 taels a day. It can’t be any less.”
These words made Ouyang Pei laugh angrily. “Do we look like fools?”
Chi Tu smiled and did not say anything.
He felt his clothes being tugged at. It was Little Ah Yu.
“Uncle Tu, why did you suddenly increase the price? It’s not good to increase the price,” Little Ah Yu said. “When my Third Uncle and Third Aunt were selling buns in town, they also said that we can’t increase the price casually, nor can we make the buns smaller. That way, we won’t be able to do business.”
Little Ah Yu looked at Chi Tu, then at Ouyang Pei and the others. She lowered her voice and said, “Moreover, this is too dishonest! Our Teacher said that honor can only be established with trust.”
“You’re right.” Chi Tu looked at the few of them again and said in a gentle tone, “I’m really sorry. There’s just not enough rooms at home. Please find another place.”
Ouyang Pei and the others: “…”
They were not even willing to increase the price anymore.
Only Chi She laughed in his heart. If not for those people saying something about Miss Ah Yu and the West Wind Nation just now, Chi Tu would definitely not have done this.
Although he did not say it, Chi Tu, who cared about Miss Ah Yu the most, was naturally not happy.
Little Ah Yu was still unable to understand the situation, but she felt that Uncle Tu was not too happy, so she did not continue speaking.
Compared to Uncle Tu, those new uncles were naturally inferior.
Uncle Tu was someone Big Brother Ah You had invited.
He was one of their own.
[Kid, go home quickly. Don’t forget your package.]
[There might be a mission.]
Meatball’s sudden voice attracted Little Ah Yu’s attention.
Little Ah Yu hurriedly said, “Uncle She, Uncle Tu, everyone, I’ll go home first. Continue chatting!”
After Little Ah Yu ran away, the two old farmers who were helping carry the firewood also followed.
Chi Tu and Chi She led the two of them to Old man Wang’s house.
Not long after, the guard who had gone to the mountains to hunt for pheasants returned. He was holding two pheasants in his left hand and carrying a deer on his right shoulder. His hair was all messed up.
However, his face was especially excited.
“How did you end up like this?” Ouyang Changjing asked.
The guard did not dare to say anything about his experience of being tricked. He only stammered, “The wild beasts in the mountains are not easy to beat.”
Of course, he could not be said that he had been chased by a wild boar in the mountains.
Needless to say, that wild boar was really ferocious. He was almost pushed off the mountain!
“Alright, bring the things over first. Then, go to the village and ask if there are any families who are willing to rent out their houses.”
“Yes.”
On the other side, Little Ah Yu ran back to Old man Wang’s house and entered the room to look at the boxes.
Coincidentally, not only were these boxes given by Qin Huai, but there were also some from the Hua Mansion in Wanning City.
“Hua Mansion? Where is this?” Little Ah Yu took out a gift list from one of the boxes and was confused when she saw the words “Hua Mansion” at the bottom.
[You have an Auntie Hua in the village.]
“Are they Auntie Hua’s relatives? Why are they giving me gifts?”
