Li Guoqing wasn't much of a chatterbox. He greeted Jiang Xue, stepped on the gas, and quickly drove her to his aunt's yard.
He quickly got out of the car and called out several times into the yard, "Auntie, Auntie."
A woman wearing a pearl necklace and with curly hair rushed out of the house, holding a mahjong tile in her hand.
Jiang Xue looked around. The building had six floors and blue glass windows. Li Guoqing's aunt's house was on the first floor, with a small yard.
"What do you want?" Li Cuilan, with one foot on the threshold, shouted in response.
“This is my sister-in-law. Can you help her find a place to live? She wants to rent.”
As soon as Li Guoqing finished speaking, Li Cuilan's eyes lit up and she threw down the mahjong tiles in her hand. "Aunt will take you to find her. Guoqing, did you tell her that I would charge a three-yuan referral fee?"
"Aunt, just consider it helping out. She's my sister-in-law, and she's a really nice person."
Li Cuilan was clearly unhappy. "I'm busy. I don't know where there are houses."
This… Jiang Xue suddenly thought, there really is no shortage of snobs in this era.
“I’ll pay you a referral fee. You just need to find someone I’m satisfied with. I’d be willing to pay you four yuan, let alone three.” Jiang Xue looked at Li Cuilan with a determined gaze.
Li Cuilan's expression changed faster than flipping through a book. She quickly pulled over a spectator to take over the mahjong game.
She greeted Jiang Xue with a smile.
"Then I'll leave Auntie to you. I'm going to get to work." Li Guoqing said goodbye, drove off in his big truck, leaving a trail of yellow sand on the ground.
"That kid, he's made a mess of sand and gravel." After muttering to herself, Li Cuilan stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Xue's arm. "Little girl, come on, Auntie will take you to look at houses. What kind of house are you looking for?"
Jiang Xue pulled her hand away, keeping a certain distance from her. "A one-bedroom apartment would be best with a bathroom and a kitchen."
Liu Cuilan frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "You can do it first, I'll make a few phone calls and ask."
Jiang Xue had no choice but to sit in the courtyard and wait. She thought about how convenient it would be to rent or buy a house in her time, but now that information is not readily available, she had to rely on the help of her friends.
The feeling of having no relatives or friends is not pleasant.
However, Jiang Xue was not discouraged at all. She cheered herself up, thinking that once this order was completed, she could take on a few more orders, and buying a house was not impossible.
“Come on, there’s a house not far from your old shop. I’ll take you there on my bike.”
"kindness."
Jiang Xue wasn't particularly enthusiastic; after all, they were early-stage intermediaries—she paid, and they handled the work.
"Look, how's it over here?"
Jiang Xue looked up and saw the legendary tenement building. "Okay, take me inside to see it."
Li Cuilan met with the landlord, and the two of them took Jiang Xue to see the apartment together. Fortunately, the apartment was on the second floor, and Jiang Xue's legs could still handle it.
Jiang Xue looked around the house. It was no different from the old, dilapidated houses in the back, except that it was a little newer. On the balcony, she looked at the mirror embedded in the wall.
An unintentional smile crept onto her lips. Not bad, there was even a full-length mirror. But then she saw Li Cuilan gesturing to the landlord from the corner of the mirror.
Jiang Xue quickly stepped back a few paces to listen carefully to what they were saying.
Li Cuilan seemed to be gesturing something, while the landlord kept shaking his head and waving his hands awkwardly.
