CHAPTER 790: CHAPTER 790: FIND A PLACE TO STAY
There was no big deal. It was not like it was their first time sleeping outside.
"Young Lady Bai, I can show you the good inn." Yao Qiao offered his help.
"No need." Bai Xifeng shook her head.
"Sir Zheng, Sir Yao, thank you for helping me enter the town. We will excuse ourselves." Fang Zihao slightly bowed his head.
"Wait..." Yao Qiao tried to stop them, but they ignored him and kept walking away.
"Young Master Yao, you..." Zheng Huizhong wanted to say something.
"I am going to follow them." Yao Qiao walked away.
Zheng Huizhong sighed. Yao Qiao was clearly getting smitten by Bai Xifeng from the moment his eyes fell on her. He knew Yao Qiao. Yao Qiao would try to get Bai Xifeng to himself.
Bai Xifeng and the Fang Siblings walked around, buying the supplies. They completely ignored Yao Qiao, who followed them. Yao Qiao tried to talk to Bai Xifeng. Bai Xifeng replied with one word and turned to talk back to the Fang Siblings.
After walking and buying supplies for one hour, they finally decided to search for the inn. This town had many inns, but most of them were already occupied because of the upcoming festival. They were already thinking of leaving the town and sleeping outside.
Yao Qiao wanted to offer his help again. But that was where a kid talked to Bai Xifeng.
"Beautiful sister..." A kid pulled Bai Xifeng’s sleeve.
Bai Xifeng squatted down so that her eye level was the same as the kid’s.
"What is it?" Bai Xifeng asked.
"Do you want a place to sleep? You can come to my house." The kid said.
"Your house? Is your house an inn?" Bai Xifeng asked again.
"No... My house is not an inn. But we can offer the same." The kid shook his head.
Bai Xifeng put the pieces together. This kid offered his house for rent. He was trying to invite them to stay overnight at his house.
"You can come and look at my house. If you like, you can stay." The kid said, trying his best to make them go to his house.
"Young Lady Bai, I suggest not to go to his house. Who knows what’s there? What if they are robbers that used a kid to lure the victim?" Yao Qiao chimed in.
"My mother is not a bad person. She is kind, clean the house and make a delicious stew beef." The kid shouted.
"Delicious stew beef? Really?" Bai Xifeng asked.
Fang Zihao and Fang Daiyu looked at each other. They only needed to look at each other to understand what they had been thinking at the moment.
"Let’s go to your house. Lead the way." Bai Xifeng said to the kid.
"Young Lady Bai, it will be dangerous. How about I show you a good inn?" Yao Qiao still tried to stop Bai Xifeng.
"Sir Yao, I don’t need to trouble you. We are going to the kids’ house. You don’t need to follow us." Bai Xifeng said. She turned to the kid. "Hey, kiddo, hurry up, lead the way."
"Yes!" The kid was smiling.
The Fang Siblings also followed. In the end, Yao Qiao also followed Bai Xifeng. He wanted to know where the house was. The kid brought them to his house. The house looked decent.
"Mum! Mum!" The kid called his mother frantically.
A woman came out. The kid jumped into the woman’s arms.
"Mum... I bring some people." The kid pointed his finger at Bai Xifeng and the Fang Siblings. "They need the accommodation."
The mother looked at Bai Xifeng and the Fang Siblings with hope. "Really? You don’t mind staying at my house? Well, it is not like a fancy that you think." She seemed to be nervous.
"Young Lady Bai, are you sure you are going to stay at this rundown place? I don’t think it is safe when the night arrives." Yao Qiao complained with a disgusting expression when he looked around the house.
The mother and the kid looked hurt when they listened to Yao Qiao’s comment about their house.
"Hey, if you dislike staying at this place, you can leave. No one asked you to follow us here." Fang Daiyu rolled her eyes.
"How much for one night?" Bai Xifeng asked, ignoring Yao Qiao.
"50 yuan per person." The mother stated.
"Great. We will stay for one night. The three of us." Bai Xifeng nodded.
The mother and the kid immediately smiled and welcomed Bai Xifeng and the Fang Siblings. Yao Qiao wanted to follow them to enter the house. Then, Fang Zihao blocked him.
"Sir Yao, you should go back home since you are so disgusted with this place." Fang Zihao stated with a straight face.
"You..." Yao Qiao wanted to say something, but the kid had already closed the door.
The door almost hit his nose. Yao Qiao stepped back. He really wanted to get to know Bai Xifeng. Well, he would come back the next day.
The mother introduced herself as Cheng Meilin, and her son was Lin Yongnian. They had been living in this place after her husband died 3 years ago. She was working as a cook at a restaurant in the town. Every single year, when the festival was ongoing, she would open her house to the strangers if they wanted to stay and had no place to stay. They would get extra money.
