However, they had long since returned the yard they originally rented in Liufang Alley of the county town.
There is only one room in the backyard of the ready-to-wear clothes shop, which is now occupied by Brother Daniu and his wife.
Meng Yunzheng's house has not been returned yet; he had paid a full year's rent upfront when he first rented it. Although it has been unoccupied for a long time, the place is still there and just needs a bit of tidying up to be habitable.
It would be inappropriate for Shu Yu and the other ladies to stay at his house, but Lu Erbai and Dahu could rest there.
There is another yard in Liufang Alley, which the Lu family had rented for storing clothes. Currently, only Xiang and Fu Xiangdi lived there. Since it is close to the Meng family, the Lu family women decided to squeeze in there for one night.
As for Lu Sanzhu and Lu Sixing, their accommodations in the county town were too far away, and they were too lazy to go there this late.
