It's 30 for the whole courtyard, not 30 for a single room.
Gu Yunyang nodded in response to his questioning tone: "Yes, that three-courtyard house costs thirty yuan a month."
"Not in the same room?"
"No, it's a whole courtyard. But if you guys want to rent it, even a two-courtyard house would probably cost thirty. After all..."
"I understand, that's your teacher."
Before the movement began, the teacher and student had a very close relationship.
"A teacher for a day is a father for life"—this is no joke.
In other words, during this special period, even healthy relationships have been disrupted beyond recognition.
Team Leader Liu nodded: "Sure, could you ask your teacher if those courtyards are available for rent? By the way, how many rooms are in those two courtyards?"
Gu Yunyang shook his head: "I haven't gone to see it yet. Renting a house shouldn't be a problem. I heard from my teacher today that leaving things vacant isn't good either."
The neighborhood office might want to arrange for them to be sent out directly.
It would be good to rent it out and earn some rent.
However, we need to find someone trustworthy and with good character.
We can't rent to those who want to get something for nothing.
I'll ask the teacher for you tomorrow, and try to get it for thirty.
A courtyard house should have at least six or seven rooms, right?
In addition to the original woodshed and the back room, a courtyard should still have eight or nine rooms.
Plus, there's a yard where everyone can grow some vegetables. It's a worthwhile investment no matter how you look at it.
Team Leader Liu's breathing became somewhat rapid.
If a courtyard has eight or nine rooms, it costs thirty yuan a month. If there is only one room, it costs only about four yuan a month.
That's not much.
They have children, so renting three rooms should be enough for them.
It's good that I can move out of my family home and not live with such a large family.
The couple also have their own room, and the children can also have their own rooms.
Although it will still be one room for boys and one room for girls, sharing the space.
There's nothing we can do about it; families these days have so many kids.
The meal was spent listening to Gu Yunyang's commentary and answering questions from Captain Liu and others.
If Gu Yunyang can really negotiate the terms for these courtyards, many of them would like to rent a few rooms.
There's no way around it, everyone needs a house.
And the rent is really not much.
As for Gu Yunyang's comment about character, we're all colleagues, so everyone should have some sense of propriety.
We wouldn't do something like that to each other.
Gu Yunyang readily agreed, but still said that he would listen to his teacher and teacher's friends in everything.
As for which teacher it was, Gu Yunyang didn't say.
Just in case something happens to the teacher a few years later.
Although Gu Yunyang could make some arrangements, problems with the house were inevitable.
When the time comes, we'll have to ask Hou San for help to intimidate them.
Gu Yunyang's plan was this: first, use Captain Liu and his men to intimidate Hou San.
To avoid Hou San overthinking things.
In the future, Hou San can also be used to intimidate the families of these colleagues, so that they won't overthink things.
After they parted, Xing Kai remarked with a sigh, "These days, everyone's housing situation is tight. Your teacher's family, on the other hand, seems to be quite well-off."
Gu Yunyang smiled and said, "That's right. This is the teacher's ancestral property. The teacher has a job, and the school has provided him with housing. So he lives in the school-provided housing with his wife and children. The ancestral property hasn't been maintained for a long time; it's too conspicuous."
Xing Kai nodded in understanding.
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, after having breakfast, Gu Yunyang went for a walk outside. When he returned, he told Captain Liu, "The teacher and his friend have both agreed. The two-courtyard house is also 30 yuan. They said each unit has nine rooms, plus a woodshed and kitchen. The teacher went to ask his friend for the keys. I'll go get them later. I'll take you to see the house tomorrow, is that alright?"
