Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl-Chapter 582 - The Old Lady Arrives
Chapter 582: Chapter 582 The Old Lady Arrives Chapter 582: Chapter 582 The Old Lady Arrives Not far from the foothills was a rather orderly courtyard, where the mule carriage stopped.
The old woman leading them said, “The courtyard you’re renting is this one. Although the house isn’t very big, compared to the other houses nearby, it’s quite decent. So, three hundred coins for a month is not expensive at all; houses in Righteous Dao Village are in high demand.”
The people who got off the mule carriage were the old lady Lu family, Zhao Xi, Dahu, and Sanya—four people in total.
Hearing the leading old woman’s words, the old lady inwardly rolled her eyes.
Just give me a break, this rundown house, and three hundred coins rent isn’t expensive?
They rented a house in the county town of Jiangyuan County and didn’t even pay this much; this was clearly extortion.
But knowing that the other party had jacked up the price, they couldn’t really say much.
The old lady thanked the old woman and gave her a few coins; only then did the old woman leave contentedly.
The old lady looked at the house in front of her, then turned her head to look at the vast village, and couldn’t help but feel distressed, “Yu living in such a place must have suffered a lot.”
Jiangyuan County was also a poor county town, but even as poor as it was, it was still far better than here.
Looking at the nearby houses, all of them were old and dilapidated, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.

Zhao Xi coughed softly beside her and whispered, “Grandmother, let’s go inside first.”
He had quickly adapted to the role, calling her grandmother smoothly and naturally, just as he had played the fool initially.
However, the old lady was momentarily taken aback by his address, feeling strangely awkward.
She quickly recovered and nodded eagerly, “Yes, yes, let’s go inside first.”
The house was meant for rent, and the environment was a bit better than the courtyard Shu Yu and her group had stayed in; at least they didn’t need to clean much, and the beds weren’t large communal ones. A little tidying up and laying down some bedding would suffice.
So, everyone busied themselves and quickly got everything in order.
The old lady still seemed to be in good spirits, “Then shall I go out and have a look?”
Zhao Xi asked, “Do you want me to accompany you?”
“No need, I’ll take Sanya with me. You and Dahu rest at home.”
Saying this, the old lady picked up a small basket and headed out. Inside the small basket were the snacks prepared to be sold at their stall.
The old lady looked down and saw nothing unusual, then took Sanya by the hand and left.
As they walked, they observed their surroundings and soon stood in front of a courtyard; she pondered for a moment, “It should be this one.”
If they hadn’t found the wrong place, this should be the Zhang family—whose neighborliness, according to Yu, was quite accommodating.
The old lady stepped forward and knocked on the door, and indeed, someone was home at the Zhang family’s—it was Aunt Zhang.
Seeing the unfamiliar old lady, Aunt Zhang looked a bit puzzled.
The visitor wasn’t wearing a prison uniform, appeared to be in good spirits, and didn’t seem like an exiled criminal.
Given that it was an old lady and a little girl, posing no threat, Aunt Zhang’s demeanor softened significantly, “May I ask, who are you looking for?”
“Miss, we just arrived in Righteous Dao Village today as tenants. We’ve just moved in and haven’t managed to settle everything yet. When we were tidying the house, we found that the water bucket was broken with a big hole and unusable. So, we came to ask if we could borrow your water bucket to use.”
Tenants???
