Old Mrs. Ma rarely interacts with scholars. After all, the place they are in now is destined to be in such a state.

Everyone is trying to survive here, so who has the time to care about their studies? However, the children here can indeed go to school, it depends on what the parents think.

This is much better than having no school in the inland. Although the children here also have to help, most of them can still go to school a little during the day.

Therefore, it is understandable that some people come here to make money and support their children's education so that they can have a good learning environment.

To be honest, Mrs. Ma quite admires this...

Of course, all this is based on the fact that these people can make money. If they can't even pay the rent, then everything is out of the question.

After all, it's true that everything is important, but money is still the most important. Aren't those intellectuals who died of starvation enough? And those people on the street wearing big gold necklaces and boxes of gold teeth, many of them can't even read, but so what...

Respecting scholars and being able to live with scholars are two completely different things. Old Mrs. Ma has lived to an old age and knows all about these things.

"You want a house on the same floor, right?"

Shen Changfeng nodded and said, "Yes, if our two families live on the same floor, we can take care of each other. It would be even better if we live next door."

Because as soon as they entered the building, they found that the building was surrounded by a U-shaped structure, which means that there are a lot of residents on one floor. If the distance is far, it will be troublesome, so the closer the better, and their identities are destined to be more cautious.

"Okay, come with me and take a look. Let's start from the bottom."

"The ground floor doesn't need to be too high, but not too low either. In short, the right floor is best."

Old Mrs. Ma had nothing to say about this. Everyone said the same thing. Everyone had to be picky before looking at a house. It was just that some people were qualified to choose and some were not.

"Then let's start from the third floor. There are two adjacent rooms here, but these lower-floor rooms are larger and the price is not cheap. If you can accept it, I will take you to see similar houses. If you can't accept this price, then we can look at cheaper ones."

What the old lady said made sense, so naturally no one had any other opinions.

So the group followed the old lady into the house they wanted to see. It was hard to tell how many bedrooms and living rooms it had, which was a feature of houses of that era. The only thing to be thankful for was that it had a private bathroom.

But it was really dirty and messy. The house looked like it was impossible to step into it, and everyone had a look of disgust on their faces.

Old Mrs. Ma knew at a glance that these people might be living well in the inland. This was not surprising, as there were many people who were living well and came here, always for some messy reasons.

"Don't think this place is messy. Just clean it up and you can live in it. By the way, this house is 20 yuan a month. What do you think? By the way, I never bargain here. You have to think it over carefully before you make a decision!"

"The price is fine, but this place is terrible. Just take us to see the environment and find the best house. The price is negotiable. But what about our whole family? We need to have a comfortable place to live. Besides, living in this environment is not comfortable."

Seeing that squat toilet is really unsettling. Even though many elders lived in relatively poor environments when they were young, over the years, everyone has become accustomed to modern life. If given a choice, they would of course prefer to live in a better place.

In fact, the environment is not bad enough, but the hygiene is really a headache.

This is really unsanitary, so they need to change to a more comfortable environment.

"Mrs. Ma's price can be a bit higher, but the environment must be good. In short, we can find the best house within this range, and then we'll go take a look."

Old Madam Ma could see that they really didn't like this house, so the price shouldn't be a problem. She thought she was pretty good at judging people, so after thinking for a while, she said, "There are a lot of good houses, but the problem is that you can't live in most places. It's only in Huanglong City that it's safe enough. It's not that there are no good houses here, but most of them are next to stores. Houses like that basically have to be renovated every time a store opens, so they're not bad, but the price is very expensive. You have to pay a full year's rent at once, unlike here where you can pay one or two months. So you should think it over carefully, and I'll take you there when you're sure."

It can be seen that these people are not short of money, and they speak quite directly. So, the old lady is in a good mood now. After all, if people offer a higher price, she will naturally get a higher commission.

Sure enough, I heard those people say: "It's okay, just take us there directly. We originally want to rent a store. If we can rent it together, it would be even better."

Although they plan to start with a small cart, it would obviously be better to have a store, so they plan to wait and see. Even if they don’t plan to open a store directly for the time being, it doesn’t matter where the store is placed first. They need a place to stay and they need to sort out everything as soon as possible. They can even rent a room upstairs and a store downstairs, and then use some special means to connect the houses.
