The Farmer’s Eldest Daughter Has a Spatial Pocket

Chapter 1440: Construction Against the Rules

Editor: Henyee Translations

The area around Nine Alley was relatively noisy. There were also some small courtyards near the Zhang family. They were different from houses with a certain age and foundation like Hetai Alley.

According to Zhang Yingyue, her family’s conditions were alright.

Otherwise, her father wouldn’t have had the money to redeem her mother back then. It was just that after her father passed away, the Zhang family didn’t treat them well. They despised her mother’s family background and despised her for being a woman, so they chased them out of the Zhang family.

Her family was only renting this alley now, like rootless duckweed.

However, Mother Zhang was sick. The doctors in the city said that she could not be cured.

If Zhang Yingyue was not desperate, she would not have listened to the royal prince’s orders.

The carriage stopped in front of the Zhang family’s house, and a group of people alighted from it.

The surrounding neighbors looked at them curiously. Someone with sharp eyes saw Zhang Yingyue return and hurriedly greeted her, "Yingyue, you’re finally back. The owner came again just now."

Zhang Yingyue’s expression changed slightly. "What did she say?"

"He said that you lied to him. The shop at 86 Jinlan Street didn’t open at all. You were lying when you said that you were a female worker there. He was afraid that you wouldn’t be able to pay the rent and the house would be stained with your mother’s illness."

As the neighbor spoke, he secretly glanced sideways at Gu Yundong and the others.

Then, he leaned close to Zhang Yingyue’s ear and asked softly, "Is that true? You were the one who fooled the owner about the female shop assistant? Then what are your plans? If you can’t pay the rent, you won’t be able to live in this house next month. And who are they? Are you planning to sell yourself because you can’t be a shop assistant? Are they your master?"𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Gu Yundong was speechless. She could hear him.

Moreover, the neighbor’s gloating thoughts were too obvious.

Zhang Yingyue’s face was also a little dark. She did not intend to answer at all. She only said to Gu Yundong and the other man, "Boss, come in first."

"Okay." Gu Yundong nodded and stepped through the door with Shao Qingyuan.

Zhang Yingyue followed them in. However, before closing the door, she still said to the neighbor, "I didn’t sell my body. They’re the owners of the shop on Jinlan Street."

With that, she closed the courtyard door.

The neighbor was stunned for a moment. Then, he pursed his lips and said indifferently, "Who are you fooling? The shop on Jinlan Street hasn’t even opened for business. Besides, which boss would come to their subordinate’s house personally?"

As the neighbor spoke, his eyes darted around and he suddenly ran away in a hurry.

Gu Yundong was already standing in the courtyard and sizing it up. This courtyard was really small. It was even smaller than the house she had rented from Aunt Ke’s family in Xuanhe Prefecture.

It looked like it was just one room. The stove was also casually built in a corner of the courtyard.

Gu Yundong took a few glances and realized that the house had been divided into two.

It seemed that even in this era, illegal construction was inevitable. The houses that were not very big to begin with could build a wall in the middle and rent it to two families.

However, in the capital, even the rent of such a small courtyard was not cheap.

It was not easy for a family like Zhang Yingyue to earn 1.5 taels a month.

Before Gu Yundong could finish checking, a faint sound came from inside.

Zhang Yingyue quickly ran in. When Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan entered, they saw Mother Zhang leaning against the headboard and coughing weakly.

When Mrs. Zhang saw them, she immediately said gratefully, "Bosses, Yingyue has already told me. Thank you so much."
