Chapter 62 Not Rented
System 118: [The host successfully eliminated the villain Zhang Jianglong, which caused part of the plot to collapse. Progress +15%, formatting progress is 30%. 】
[My comrade is awesome. I can’t be stingy. I will reward Lin Qing with a stack of small bills~]
[Assistive function once (When you need help, you can make a wish to this system once. Of course, it must be within the system's capabilities. Don't be too greedy~~~)]
Lin Qing: ...There is a reason why some systems can only be used to write novels.
System 118: [○｀Д′○].
Lin Qing also took a special look at Zhang Jianglong's criminal record. In just a few days, several pages of charges were uncovered.
Lin Qing feels no guilt at all for getting rid of such a person.
When I woke up early in the morning, I heard something very gratifying.
Good sign
Before getting up, Lin Qing lay in bed looking at the stack of tickets rewarded by the system, which were of various kinds.
We have everything.
I mean, it's not a fake ticket...
...
After class, he cruelly left the little cutie Wang Xi behind and went to look for a house.
If it's hard to find one near the cigarette factory, then take the bus to see if there is a direct route.
Later, Lin Qing got off the car at a place where the houses were obviously well built.
The houses here feel like mansions from the Nationalist period.
Lin Qing walked inside.
The alley was quite lively. Most of the families had their doors open, so if you stood outside you could hear people chatting together inside.
There are also teenagers who go from one house to another.
The smell of fireworks is very strong.
Lin Qing asked along the way and came to the street office responsible for this area.
When the person in charge of renting a house asked, "Are you renting a house for yourself?"
Lin Qing didn’t know whether it was common practice to ask this when renting a house, but asking it meant that she had a house available.
"I'm renting it for my sister and her family. They're going to work here. I'm studying here, so I can help them look for it in advance."
The person in charge glanced at Lin Qing and sized her up, "Which college does this young comrade attend?"
Lin Qing reported the name of her school and took out her student ID to show the person in charge.
The person in charge is a middle-aged woman with two naughty boys at home. They are always in a bad mood. When she looks at Lin Qing, she starts to look at other people's children.
Look at how other people’s daughters are born, they are fair, pretty, and good at studying.
After confirming the identity, the person in charge smiled at Lin Qing and said, "I'll take you to a family first."
On the way, the person in charge said as he walked: "The family I am taking you to is from a wealthy family. The old lady's surname is Yue. She used to be a daughter of a wealthy family, and later married into the equally wealthy Yu family."
Lin Qing listened carefully and did not interrupt.
Although the turmoil would not begin for another two years, the area had already been divided before that. Many people had moved into the houses nearby, which showed that some houses no longer belonged to their original owners.
Seeing that Lin Qing didn't say much, the person in charge was optimistic about her. "I'm only telling you this, just listen to it, but don't tell anyone."
Lin Qing nodded.
Things that begin with such words are often well known to everyone.
"The Yu family used to be very wealthy, with businesses covering half of the city. During the Anti-Japanese War, Mr. Yu was a man of honor and used almost all of his wealth to support the war."
"Later, Er Gouzi reported the matter to the Japanese. Under the Japanese's coercion, Mr. Yu would rather die than surrender, which angered the Japanese. Almost all the men in the family were killed, and the Yu family went downhill from then on."
Lin Qing was excited and impressed.
"Fortunately, we had Old Lady Yue to support us. After the founding of New China, those damned bastards got their comeuppance. Many shops and factories were returned to the Yu family, and Old Lady Yue donated them all to the government. She only took this house."
"After all, when Old Madam Yue was young, she was a daughter of a wealthy family. Her temper must be different from that of ordinary people like us."
Lin Qing understood, "Director, this Grandma Yue is quite picky about her tenants."
"You students are smart." The person in charge pulled Lin Qing and whispered, "So, you have to be smart when you meet Old Madam Yue later."
"Thank you for your advice, Director." Lin Qing smiled sweetly.
Who doesn't like to be appreciated for their kindness? She even called her Director. The person in charge smiled with satisfaction and said, "If you rent it yourself, maybe Old Lady Yue will rent it."
Huh? Lin Qing was a little surprised when she heard this.
What's the matter? Why don’t you explain it in detail?
Unfortunately, the person in charge didn’t continue.
After walking for a distance, we arrived at the Yu family mansion.
The gate is wide and the threshold is high.
There were many broken tiles falling off the eaves of the door, but the brackets under the eaves were obviously fine work.
The specifications of the house are somewhat similar to those of a siheyuan. After entering the courtyard, you walk around the screen wall and face the main house, with side rooms on the left and right.
In the west wing, there was a middle-aged woman sitting under the eaves picking beans.
When she saw someone coming in, she first greeted the person in charge enthusiastically, "Sister Fu is here."
The person in charge responded calmly and called out to the window of the main room, "Old lady, I'll bring the tenant over to take a look."
The woman under the eaves of the west wing immediately turned her gaze to Lin Qing.
With a scrutinizing look in his eyes, he looked at the person from head to toe.
A bit unkind.
Lin Qing didn't know how she had offended her.
But she never cared about that.
The more you hate her, the more she jumps for joy.
After a while, an old lady came out from the main room. Although she was dressed simply, she had a very stylish temperament.
It has a bit of the flavor of a lady from a noble family.
There are some wrinkles on Grandma Yue's face, but she still has a kind of charming beauty that cannot be defeated by time.
She still held her spine high, and when she looked at people, she was indifferent but not arrogant.
I also took a look at Lin Qing. Well, this girl is pretty, pretty and pleasing to the eye.
It can be considered as passing.
However, she couldn't agree immediately. This time she had to ask carefully. She couldn't just agree to rent the house to Xu Guanchuan because he thought he was a good guy like she did before.
The result is a wife who is extremely vulgar.
As Grandma Yue thought about this, her eyes glanced uncontrollably towards the west wing, but after just one look, she looked away in dismay.
Be careful not to make the mistake this time.
At her age, she should look at more beautiful things to feel comfortable.
So, Grandma Yue asked Lin Qing calmly, "Are you the one who rented the house?"
Lin Qing nodded.
Grandma Yue: "Do you live alone?"
Lin Qing told the truth, "Not really. Grandma Yue, I have to go to school on weekdays and can't live here all the time. I might just come here for a few days during the winter and summer vacations. I rent this house mainly for my eldest sister and her family. They are going to work here at the cigarette factory."
"Oh." Grandma Yue's expression faded, "No rent."
"......"
