Chapter 88 Going to rent a house
He first introduced the basic situation of the two properties.
Then he continued:
“…The first house I’m talking about is relatively new, a proper small building.
The one with the yard at the back is big, but a bit old.
This is the situation.
Time was a bit tight and housing was in short supply in the county, so there weren't many houses available.
If you think it's okay, I'll take half a day off tomorrow to take you there.
If you think none of them work, I'll go and ask around.
What do you think?
Meng Shichang actually thinks that a house with a yard is nice.
Although it costs one dollar more, it is a separate house with its own door, which is convenient!
The Lin family can also have a temporary place to stay when they go to the county.
When Li Xiuli heard that he asked so many questions in such detail, a grateful smile appeared on her face.
"Sure, what's wrong with that? I'm sorry to bother Tangtang's uncle.
You don't need to ask for leave tomorrow. I can't keep you from working.
Just tell us the place and I'll take Tangtang there."
Meng Shichang thought about it and thought it was okay.
I just asked for half a day off today, so it really doesn’t seem appropriate to ask for another one tomorrow.
However, polite words still need to be said.
"...Can you guys do it?"
Lin Tang smiled and said, "Don't worry, uncle. I went to high school in the county and I'm very familiar with the place."
Meng Shichang slapped his thigh and said suddenly, "Yes, yes, I forgot about it."
Then, he told Lin Tang the addresses of the two houses.
After finishing his business, he stood up.
"Then I'll be leaving first. It's a rare opportunity to take half a day off. I'll go back and personally cook a meal for An An and the two boys. They'll like it."
"Don't send my second sister-in-law and Tangtang off. We are family, so there's no need to be polite. Just take a rest."
After saying that, the man walked out.
Of course Li Xiuli and Lin Tang would not stand there stupidly.
Send people to the door.
Watched Meng Shichang leave on his bicycle.
The mother and daughter returned to the house.
"Your uncle is really efficient. I just asked about it this morning, and now I have news." Li Xiuli said with emotion.
"Yes." Lin Tang agreed.
This is the benefit of having connections.
If there is anything going on, just ask and you will get all kinds of information.
Lin Tang: "Mom, are you going to the county with me tomorrow?"
Li Xiuli glanced at her daughter with a gentle and loving expression.
"What if you go alone?
What if you were deceived? I'll go with you."
She was reluctant to give up those few work points, but Tangtang's matter was more important, so of course she had to deal with renting a house first.
Lin Tang's eyes were slightly curved, and her watery pupils were like stars.
"Mom is the best to me."
Li Xiuli was so happy that she said, "Look at what you said. I'm your mother, isn't it my duty to treat you well?"
My daughter just speaks nicely.
Unlike the little bears, they only make her angry.
At night, Lin Lu and Li Xiuli's room.
Li Xiuli is making the kang.
Lin Lu sat on a stool, holding a cigarette, not smoking, but sniffing it from time to time.
"...Alas." He suddenly sighed.
Li Xiuli turned her head and glanced at him.
"If you want to smoke, go outside and smoke. Why are you sighing?"
When she talked about smoking, she felt a little sweet in her heart.
Ever since Tangtang said that smoking in the house was harmful to the health of family members, the old man never smoked in the house again.
The head of the family doesn't have much ability, but he is hardworking and cares about his family. He is much better than other men in the village.
Lin Lu sighed again, "I don't want to smoke, I'm just worried about our daughter."
"Worry about your daughter? What happened to Tangtang that requires you to worry about her?" Li Xiuli was confused.
"Why don't I need to worry about it?
My daughter is about to leave home and live in the county.
This is a rented house, not a school dormitory.
What if something happens?"
There is no one to help.
Li Xiuli thought about it and agreed.
Aren’t there still human traffickers in the county who are soliciting people on the streets?
If there are thieves or something like that again, then...
"Then what do you think we should do? What if someone is targeting Tangtang?" Li Xiuli started to worry as soon as she thought about it.
Lin Lu saw that his wife was frightened, and hurriedly comforted her, "You shouldn't be that unlucky."
"Tangtang is amazing.
If there is such a bad guy, Tangtang can tear him down like a door, don't scare yourself."
Li Xiuli: Didn’t you start it first?
Li Xiuli glared at Lin Lu and said, "I've told you everything to say. What else can I say? Go to sleep."
It’s true, the boss’s worries do make some sense.
When I go house hunting tomorrow, my daughter’s safety will be my top priority.
Lin Lu touched his nose guiltily.
As soon as he got on the kang, he fell asleep.
-
The next day, early in the morning.
Li Xiuli took Lin Tang to the county again.
They first went to the small building that Meng Shichang mentioned.
This building is exactly the same as Lin Anan's house, and it looks quite clean.
The room is on the second floor.
As soon as I went upstairs, I ran into a middle-aged woman who was about to return to her room after emptying the chamber pot.
The woman stopped when she saw a stranger.
He first looked Li Xiuli up and down.
His eyes wandered over the patches on Li Xiuli's clothes with a look of contempt.
There is a sense of superiority.
Then, he looked at Lin Tang again.
The woman was obviously dazzled by Lin Tang's pretty face.
Then, he didn't know what he was thinking about, but he curled his lips and looked very disdainful.
"What do you do? This is the staff building. Not everyone can come here, especially those peasants from the countryside."
Li Xiuli is a simple and honest rural person.
No matter how bold and tough you are, you will still feel insecure when facing city people.
Especially when he thought that his daughter might still have to live here, he hesitated and did not confront her immediately.
Lin Tang looked at the woman's arrogant expression with a slightly cold look in his eyes.
There seemed to be a cold light surging inside.
She sneered and opened her lips coldly.
"What's wrong with the peasant? The peasant didn't eat your bread or drink your water.
The rice, flour and vegetables in your home are all grown by the peasants, so don’t eat them if you have any.”
Her voice was soft and pleasant, but her words were cold.
The woman was stunned for a moment.
Lin Tang glanced at her coldly, then pulled Li's mother downstairs.
As he walked, he said:
"Mom, let's not look here anymore.
I wouldn't want to have someone like that living here, even if it was free.
What kind of person is this? His nostrils are pointing to the sky. He is so ugly..."
The voice was so loud that it made the woman so angry that her face turned blue and purple.
After going out, Li Xiuli had a sad look on her face.
"Tangtang, your uncle has found two houses. If this one doesn't work, then if that one doesn't work either, there won't be any more..."
"Go and have a look first, and we'll see if it doesn't work." Lin Tang comforted.
"That's all we can do."
After talking, the mother and daughter went to another house.
About ten minutes later, Lin Tang knocked on the gate.
"Is anyone there?" she asked as she knocked.
After asking twice, an old voice echoed from inside.
"Who is it? Wait a minute!"
After a while, an old lady with gray hair came out.
"Who are you looking for?"
