During the conversation, we learned that this young man had just come to the city to do business, and all the money he had was invested in the business, so he wanted to rent a cheaper house outside the city to save money.

My brother's house basically meets the requirements.

"Come on, I'll take you to see the house right now to make sure you're satisfied."

Old man Chu said with a smile.

Although the house belongs to my brother, it has been vacant. It is better to rent it out early in exchange for some money. I believe my brother will not disagree.

The young man waved his hand gently: "I am assured of my character, so there is no need to look at the house."

"That's not possible!" Old Man Chu said seriously, "Renting a house is a big deal. Whether you can live in it and whether it is good or not, you have to see first before deciding."

The young man said: "It's too troublesome, I'm too lazy to run away. Please tell me the true condition of the house one by one."

Old Chu didn't dare to boast about the house, but he did his best to beautify it.

The only drawback is that the house is old and has not been lived in for a long time, so it needs some repairs and cleaning.

Although he is shrewd, he still needs to explain some things clearly to the tenants in advance, otherwise they will definitely think they have been deceived when they come to inspect the property.

It seems that there is a high probability that the commission will be received!

Old man Chu rubbed his hands vigorously.

What kind of luck do you have? It's so good.

During the chat, old man Chu sighed and said: "If you hadn't come late, I could rent my house to you cheaply!"

"Oh? I still have a house?"

Old Chu said proudly: "That's not the case! My house is much better than my brother's house. It was just renovated in the middle of last year. It has all the furniture and other things. It is comfortable to live in."

The young man sighed: "Oh... bad luck."

Old Man Chu remembered what the old lady had said before, and continued: "How about if you wait for that family to move out, you can live there again?"

The young man's eyes lit up: "That's great! But when can they move out?"

"This is hard to say!" Old Man Chu felt very conflicted.

After all, it is not easy to make money from both ends.

The young man asked: "Who are you, a whole family living in the countryside?"

Old Man Chu opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say what was in his heart. When Zangben asked him to rent a house, he specifically told him that they were here to avoid debts and that they should try to talk to others as little as possible about their affairs. Let's live in an older place first and wait.

When this place is vacated, I will move it."

Old Man Chu smiled happily: "Okay, okay, I will definitely keep it for you."

Although the rent may not be as high as Mr. Zang's, it will not make you lose money by leaving the house empty.

The young man left Old Chu's home and walked out of Longchi Village. Seeing that no one was following him, he quickened his pace and got into a remote forest.

"Captain, the situation is basically clear."

The person he reported to was none other than Ji Chenglin in disguise.

Immediately, he reported what he learned at Old Man Chu's home.

Ji Chenglin nodded: "It seems this is it. How many guards are there?"

"I didn't dare to ask, for fear of alerting others. But looking at the food purchased, I'm afraid there must be more than a dozen people."

Ji Chenglin silently calculated that, excluding Nurse Yuan's family members, there should be three or four guards.

"Captain, what should we do now? Do you want the brothers to go up together and eat them all in one pot?"

"Don't worry yet. Although the opponent's number is small, they still have hostages in their hands. Attacking them rashly will harm the hostages, and they may not be able to capture them alive."

Ji Chenglin turned around and called an action team member over: "Take some people and secretly monitor the intersections leading to the outside of this village."

…

Zangben looked through the food bought by Old Man Chu and said, "I hope we can leave if we can't finish these things."

Regarding the final outcome of this family, although the team leader did not explain it in advance, he had already made a close guess.

It is basically impossible to survive.

A pockmarked companion came over and whispered: "Are their food still being supplied as before?"

We are all dying, so what difference does it make if we eat well or not?

Zangben thought for a while and said, "Let's keep it as usual. The sudden change will make them suspicious. I don't want to cause trouble for myself."

He nodded with a pockmarked face: "Then I'll prepare the meal."

"Go ahead and make it as light as possible. Chinese people's taste is too strong."

The companion smiled and nodded and left.

In the kitchen, Pockmarked Face was busy nervously.

To be honest, cooking for so many people at once, and three meals a day, is really a chore.

At this moment, a figure flashed at the door.

The pockmarked face suddenly became alert, he grabbed the kitchen knife in his hand and jumped to the door.

As a result, I found the three-year-old boy standing outside the door.

The pockmarked man put the kitchen knife behind him: "What are you doing here?"

There was a hint of timidity in the little boy's eyes and he took two steps back.

"Baby, come back quickly!"

The woman's urgent voice sounded, it was the child's mother.

Someone was not paying attention and let his son slip out of the room.

The two adults looked at each other.

The woman lowered her head in fear, ran to her son, and immediately pulled her son behind her: "Let's go back with mother!"

"stop!"

The woman looked terrified: "You...what do you want to do?"

"What are you doing?? Please help me! I can't do it alone in the kitchen, please help me!"

The woman breathed a sigh of relief, she would have made a mistake.

"good!"

The woman is not beautiful, but she looks strong, and she knows how to work and can do her job.

"Well, take the child back first, and then come over to help! You have to move quickly, or the food will be cooked too late."

The woman nodded and led the child away.

Looking at the backs of mother and son, a proud smile finally appeared on Mazi's face.
