Jiang Xue sneered; this little trick couldn't fool her at all.
It's obvious that Li Cuilan instigated the landlord to raise the price, and then Li Cuilan profited from it.
"Aunt, I think this house is just so-so. I don't want it anymore. Take me to see other places." Jiang Xue shook her head and brushed non-existent dust off her hands.
She pretended to be disgusted.
Li Cuilan quickly greeted her with a smile, "Look, isn't this place exactly what you wanted? It's nice and the rent is cheap."
The landlord chimed in, "Yes, this location, this house, only ten..."
"Cough cough..." Li Cuilan coughed a few times, deliberately interrupting the landlord.
The landlord, understanding the implication, quickly changed his tune, "Thirty yuan a month? Look, where else can you find a place for thirty yuan a month?"
"It's really cheap. Last time I rented a place with a young girl, it was fifty yuan a month."
Jiang Xue shook her head. Li Cuilan was just looking at her business and knew she couldn't be poor, so she was raising prices on the spot. She had been to this area all morning, but she just hadn't found the answer. Sure enough, you can't rely on others for everything.
Otherwise, the ten yuan every month would be given away for nothing. And this Li Guoqing looks honest and simple, but I didn't expect him to have such a cunning aunt who charges her an extra ten yuan every month. Does he think her money comes from thin air?
That's true, you're trying to have your cake and eat it too. I, Jiang Xue, won't let you get away with it.
"It's too expensive, I'm not renting it." Jiang Xue said and was about to leave.
Li Cuilan followed Jiang Xue with a fawning expression, asking, "This house is great. Not only is the lighting good, but the feng shui is also good. You're guaranteed to become very rich and powerful here."
Jiang Xue sneered inwardly, but thanked Li Cuilan without showing any emotion on her face, "Thank you so much for today. I have two children at home, so I'll consider this house."
Seeing that Jiang Xue seemed to be in a hurry to leave, Li Cuilan said, "Okay, why don't you leave a deposit with me or something? I'll take you to find it again tomorrow."
They're really cunning and shrewd. They even managed to find a day to do something that could have been accomplished with just a phone call, yet they still know how to claim credit.
"Oh dear, Guoqing and I are very good friends, and we haven't even found a house we like yet, why would I need to pay a deposit? Auntie, you're joking. I have things to do at home, so I'll head back now."
Without saying a word, Jiang Xue turned and left.
Li Cuilan had no choice but to use sign language to tell the landlord to wait a little longer, promising that she could guarantee she could rent it out for her.
After shaking off Li Cuilan, Jiang Xue immediately turned back. Luckily, the landlord was weighing sunflower seeds at the sunflower seed stall at the entrance of the community.
"Sharing some melon seeds?" Jiang Xue followed everyone else's example and took two melon seeds to taste.
"The shopkeeper, weigh out half a jin for me too."
While waiting for the melon seeds, Jiang Xue pulled the landlord aside and said, "Give me a honest price for the house. If it's okay, we'll pay right now, just like we're buying melon seeds."
Jiang Xue also thought the house was pretty good. Although it was a small one-room house, it had a kitchen and a bathroom, making it perfect for her.
Later, when Shaoheng and Shaomeng came over, they could sleep with me in the bed, which wasn't small either.
Once they're a bit older, and I've saved enough money to buy a house, I'll take care of Shaoheng and Shaomeng. I'll take care of them for as long as Ji Chen tells me to.
The landlady stared at Jiang Xue in surprise; she hadn't expected such a young girl to be involved in a honey trap.
"Come on, let's talk over there." The landlord picked up some melon seeds and pulled Jiang Xue to stand aside.
