The person who asked Jin Xiaoye if she wanted a house was a woman with fair skin and deep bags under her eyes.
Seeing this woman, Jin Xiaoye was stunned and asked, "Aunt Zhao, do you want to rent out your shop?"
"Yes, the person who rented my shop refused to pay rent, so I wanted to rent it to someone else." Aunt Zhao smiled tiredly.
Aunt Zhao often came to Jin Xiaoye to get work. Jin Xiaoye knew her. After getting to know her better, he found out that she was from the neighboring Zhaojia Village, which is the same village as Zhao Xiaodou.
She also heard people talking about Aunt Zhao.
Aunt Zhao is the third child in the family. She doesn’t have a proper name and is always called Sanni Sanni.
Zhao Sanni's parents were allocated very little land, and they had a bunch of children. With so many children, the family's food supply became tight.
Zhao Sanni has older brothers and sisters above her and younger brothers and sisters below her. She is sandwiched in the middle and often can't even get enough to eat.
The girl who grew up hungry, when she reached marriageable age, only thought about marrying a man who could give her enough food to eat. Coincidentally, her parents also thought that having enough food to eat was more important than anything else.
It just so happened that a fool in the county town wanted to get married, and this fool's family owned a shop... Zhao Sanni's parents asked Zhao Sanni, and Zhao Sanni agreed, so her parents happily married her off.
For seven or eight years, Zhao Sanni was actually the envy of many rural girls.
Although her man is stupid, he is different from the young master of the Hong family. Not to mention beating people, her man is very timid. He is a fat and strong adult, but he can be bullied by the children nearby.
Of course, this was also taught by Zhao Sanni's parents-in-law. They were afraid that their children would bully others and become annoying, so once their children fought with outsiders, they would beat their children to death regardless of whether they were right or wrong. After beating them for a while, they would become well-behaved.
Although the fool was stupid, he could do some simple chores at home. In addition, Zhao Sanni's parents-in-law opened a shop and made money, so they were very good to Zhao Sanni. At that time, Zhao Sanni could eat meat every day and make several new clothes a year.
How could the women in the village not be envious
However, the good times did not last long. Five years after Zhao Sanni got married, she gave birth to a son. After raising him for a few years, everyone discovered that the child was also a fool.
At this time, everyone felt a little sympathetic towards Zhao Sanni. Ten years later, Zhao Sanni's parents-in-law were getting older and their health was getting worse...
Zhao Sanni had to serve her parents-in-law, take care of her silly husband and son, and look after the family business, and she was exhausted.
Later, they stopped doing business and rented out their shop. Although the rent was low, it was stable at least.
Now... Jin Xiaoye asked around and found out that the family who rented Zhao Sanni's shop paid less rent every year because they saw that Zhao Sanni was weak-willed and had no one to rely on.
It's even worse recently. Two months have passed since the rent was due, and they still haven't paid.
Zhao Sanni went to ask for it, and her husband's relatives and neighbors also helped to lobby for it, but the family either cried poor or smiled and said they would give it to her the next day, but they just wouldn't pay.
Originally, the shop rent was enough for their family to live on, but now that the family doesn't pay, her life has become tight. She comes to Jin Xiaoye to get work just to supplement the family income.
