Team Leader Liu and the instructor looked around and were very satisfied.
Gu Yunyang could tell from their expressions, but he still asked, "So? Four courtyards, thirty yuan a month for each. Can you accept that?"
Before Captain Liu could speak, the instructor interjected, "Why can't you accept it? I know this price is only given because of you. It's not high. But how will you pay the rent?"
The fact that they're talking about rent shows they're quite satisfied.
Gu Yunyang led them to the innermost courtyard and said, "There's a mailbox here. If you need to buy some food or something, you can write a list on it; you don't need to sign it."
When the time comes, they'll arrange for someone to put the food and other necessities directly in the yard; you can just come and collect them. The rent and money for groceries should be put in an envelope and dropped into this mailbox.
After Gu Yunyang finished speaking, he added a reminder: "Just keep this to yourselves, and don't let it get out of hand. It's only because my teacher's friend lives in a nearby village that they have a little extra grain to share. If others find out, things will get complicated."
These days, there are plenty of people who can't stand others.
The baseness of human nature is evident in how people hate those who have, laugh at those who don't, despise the poor, and fear the rich.
The instructor also vaguely knew about this matter, having heard Gu Yunyang say that the transaction was so simple.
She was quite tempted too.
These days, who doesn't lack food?
She also has several children, all of whom are still very young.
Gu Yunyang only mentioned it briefly; whether they wanted to buy it or not was their own business.
Anyway, Gu Yunyang wouldn't say anything more.
After looking at the courtyard, they all realized that this three-courtyard house was larger.
However, the door from the middle courtyard to the back courtyard was locked, and they didn't say much about it.
They said they wanted to keep the backyard and rent out the front, because they were worried that no one would live there. The neighborhood committee took a liking to it and forced them to let people in.
It costs thirty yuan a month, but they only pay a little over three yuan to rent a room.
This is incredibly cheap.
It was also because of their status that they seemed capable of helping to guard the courtyard.
Gu Yunyang mentioned this point subtly, and they all agreed.
As for the identity of the owner of the courtyard, they didn't bother to find out.
The instructor planned to rent three rooms: one for the couple and two for the children.
When the time comes, we'll draw the curtains, and the boy will have his own space while he lives alone.
After returning, the instructor did some statistics.
These days, there aren't enough houses in the city to live in.
There are countless examples of large families living together in a tenement building.
If you want to wait for your work unit to raise funds to build housing and then allocate the apartments, you'll have to wait a long time.
Now there are such cheap houses, only a little over three yuan a month. The instructor even further subdivided them according to the size of the rooms.
Large rooms cost five yuan, small rooms cost three yuan, and some cost two yuan and fifty cents.
In this way, the entire courtyard costs thirty yuan.
That would be even more worthwhile.
So before noon, the instructor brought over 120 yuan.
"The money is in the envelope; this is the first month's."
Gu Yunyang didn't mention the deposit to them; there was no need.
Gu Yunyang countered, "It's not even been a month yet. I was going to tell you that we should just let it go for the first month. That's what my teacher said too. Otherwise, how about we pay next month's rent?"
The instructor waved his hand, saying, "No need. Although it hasn't been a month yet, your house is great, and we've already gotten a great deal. Let's consider this first month as a full month."
After much back and forth, the instructor finally insisted that Gu Yunyang accept the money: "There's still furniture in your house. I was originally thinking of giving you some money for the furniture."
