Shopkeeper Liang pondered for a moment after hearing Su Qingluan's question. "Business is all about profit. Generally, people rent out shops at low prices because they're afraid the shops will sit idle for a long time."
Su Qingluan shook her head: "But you also know that this street is the only way in and out of the city. In this area, there is no place more prosperous than this street." Therefore, the rent on this street alone is so much higher than the rest of the areas.
It is precisely for this reason that the shops on this street have always been in great demand. Even if the shops themselves have problems like the sinkhole, they are only short-lived. Therefore, it is difficult for Su Qingluan to imagine the reason for renting out the shops at such a low price.
After thinking about it, Su Qingluan felt that she must have missed some details, but she had no idea as she had not done much research on the details of house rentals in this era.
"Uncle Liang, do you have any books on house rental clauses?"
Shopkeeper Liang was not expecting Su Qingluan to ask this question, and he felt a little distressed: "As a businessman, how can I have books related to law? Such books can only be read by officials who are involved in related affairs, or by scholars with extensive knowledge."
Widely read?
Speaking of which, Su Qingluan does know a person. Whenever someone mentions him, they say that person is "knowledgeable". There should be many such people in the family. I wonder if I can ask him?
Thinking about what people around her said about that man, Su Qingluan thought he must be quite helpful... right? Besides, technically speaking, he had helped her, hadn't he?
Although judging by the man's reaction at the time, it was probably more for fun than to help.
Having made up her mind, Su Qingluan thanked Manager Liang and said goodbye.
On the mountain path back home after closing the stall, Su Qingluan saw that there was no one around except her Su family of three, so she asked, "Dad and Mom, do you know where Mr. Mu's home is?"
Yang and Su Guangfu exchanged a quiet glance, and Yang couldn't help but ask her, "Daya, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Su Qingluan didn't notice the tacit and unusual exchange of glances between her parents. She just said honestly, "Oh, I want to find a book about law. Everyone says Mr. Mu is knowledgeable, so he must have a lot of books. Maybe I can find out by asking him."
Even if there was no book she wanted to borrow, Su Qingluan thought that as the saying goes, "birds of a feather flock together", maybe Mu Xingzhi knew someone in related work who could lend her the relevant legal provisions?
It’s a pity that there is probably no such profession as “legal consultation” these days, otherwise I could just pay the fee and ask the professionals, Su Qingluan thought nonsensically.
Su Qingluan's idea was very pure, but she never thought that Yang was thinking of something completely different.
Yang looked at her eldest daughter's face: although the girl of thirteen or fourteen was still a little childish, she had already begun to show her elegance and grace. In another three to five years, she would surely become even more eye-catching.
But now she is wearing men's clothes, without any decorations on her body. I don't know which boy will get her in the future... But if my daughter takes a fancy to Mr. Mu...
Yang was a little distressed: Although they had joked about it verbally, Mr. Mu's health was not very good...
Countless thoughts were running through her mind, and Yang sighed that her daughter's excuses were quite convincing - borrowing books or something, which made her look knowledgeable and logical.
If Su Qingluan knew what was going on in Yang's mind, she would probably complain loudly: Mother, you really think too much!
Of course, if she knew that her father had the same idea, she would probably be even more speechless.
However, no matter how many thoughts the couple had in their minds, Su Qingluan still knew the location of Mu Xingzhi's home - after all, it was not a secret. Su Qingluan didn't know it before because she had never paid attention to it.
After returning home, Su Qingluan didn't even go into the house but rushed straight to Mu Xingzhi's house.
Mu Xing's house was about a quarter of an hour's walk away. When Sui Qingluan turned an intersection, he saw a small farmhouse that looked nothing special but was indeed very conspicuous.
The reason why it is said to be nothing special is that in terms of architectural structure, this courtyard is not much different from other houses, with low loess walls and tightly closed wooden doors.
But the reason why it is conspicuous is that other people's yards are planted with fruit trees or climbing plants, but only this one has planted bamboo.
The tall and straight green bamboo joints stretched out of the loess wall, looking so vibrant, as if they were signposts, allowing Su Qingluan to see them from a long distance.
Unexpectedly, as the destination approached, the sky, which originally had only a few clouds, suddenly became dark. The light gray clouds covered the entire sky, making Su Qingluan feel as if they were about to fall.
"We're almost there, why did the situation suddenly change..." Su Qingluan muttered speechlessly.
Although sudden dark clouds, strong winds, thunderstorms and other weather are very common in the summer, they are a bit too frequent this year - how long has it been since I was last soaked to the skin?
Su Qingluan complained in her heart, but she did not stop. She took two steps at a time and came to the outside of Mu Xingzhi's yard.
She went up and knocked on the door, but no one answered.
Is he really not here?
At this moment, the dark clouds that were getting lower and lower finally began to drop raindrops as big as beans, hitting Su Qingluan one by one.
At this time, Su Qingluan had been knocking on the door for about half a quarter of an hour, but no one responded, so she thought that no one in the yard was at home.
Mu Xing's house is located at the corner of this path, a certain distance away from the neighbors on both sides. Although it is not convenient to visit each other because they are not close to each other, this is just the right time for Su Qingluan to let loose.
She wiped her face, put her hands on her hips and looked up at the sky: "Damn it! Can't the rain come a little slower? I just came out to do something, do you have to choose a time like this to rain?! I——"
Su Qingluan was about to start a fight with Zuan, but at this moment, she heard someone ask from inside the door, "Excuse me, who is this?"
"..." Oh my god, Su Qingluan was completely stunned. She was yelling at the sky because of a sudden downpour in front of someone else's house, and the owner happened to see her... It was so embarrassing!
Wait, isn't there anyone in this yard? Otherwise, why didn't anyone answer the door for so long...
Su Qingluan was thinking in a mess, and then she heard the voice from inside the door getting closer and clearer: "Excuse me, who is this?"
