The most surprised person was Zhou Xiaomei, who kept winking at Ye Beiping, as if to say: "You brat, this kind of thing is negotiable, why do you need such an expensive rent?"
Seeing that Ye Beiping remained unmoved, Zhou Xiaomei could only sigh and, wanting to be a good person to the end, said to Grandma Qiu, "Grandma, you see, these young people have it tough. I already told you they're from the countryside and don't know any better. Could you perhaps lower the rent a bit...?"
Seeing how difficult things had been for Ye Beiping, Zhou Xiaomei felt embarrassed.
snort!
Unexpectedly, Grandma Qiu snorted coldly, glaring at Zhou Xiaomei with an imposing air, and said, "The young couple has already agreed, what's the big deal that you're just a matchmaker? Are you afraid they won't have the money to give you?"
"This...I..." Zhou Xiaomei was speechless.
Yes, the parties involved have all agreed, so why is she making such a fuss?
It's all because they sympathize with Ye Beiping's plight.
Ye Beiping glanced at Zhou Xiaomei but didn't try to help her out. Instead, he said directly to Grandma Qiu, "Grandma, since I've rented your house, we still need to write an agreement, right? Do you have any paper and pen here? I can write it down, and if you have no problems after reading it, you just need to sign it."
"oh?"
Grandma Qiu couldn't believe her ears and said in slight shock, "You can write these things? Don't think that just because this old woman can't read, I can tell you that when I learned to read, you weren't even an embryo."
puff!
The word "embryo" made Ye Beiping and Su Xinyi burst out laughing.
The fact that Grandma Qiu could utter those two words proves that she is not an uneducated person. This is something that most people don't know. For example, Zhou Xiaomei still doesn't understand what the two of them are laughing about.
Moreover, Zhou Xiaomei was also quite confused about the word "embryo".
snort!
Seeing the two of them laughing, Grandma Qiu reluctantly got up and took out paper and pen from the cabinet next to her.
The pen, a fountain pen, seemed to be a precious treasure.
When Grandma Qiu handed the pen to Ye Beiping, she didn't dare to let go of his hand easily.
Ye Beiping had to pull the pen away twice before it was finally taken away, creating a somewhat awkward situation. He smiled slightly at Grandma Qiu before squatting down at the coffee table next to her and beginning to write.
Grandma Qiu, who was standing to the side, stretched out her hand as if to say something, but then pursed her lips and gave up, plopping down back onto the mahogany chair.
Su Xinyi and Zhou Xiaomei were curious about what Ye Beiping had written, so they took a few steps forward to look at it.
They were shocked when they saw it.
The six characters of "House Rental Agreement" were written very neatly, but the names of Party A and Party B below left both of them somewhat confused.
Although Su Xinyi only had a high school education, she had never studied the content of such standardized agreements and contracts before, so she found it very novel.
Even Zhou Xiaomei, who can read a few words, was completely confused. She just felt that the agreement was very formal, like some kind of government document.
The agreements they used to draft were simply about who rented whose house, how much the monthly rent was, and then they would sign and leave their fingerprints.
It's completely unlike what Ye Beiping wrote; the details and rules are extremely meticulous and clear.
After more than ten minutes, Ye Beiping's legs were getting numb from squatting, but he finally finished writing the two agreements.
He leaned on the coffee table, stood up, and respectfully handed the paper and pen back to Grandma Qiu.
After receiving the agreement, Grandma Qiu gently placed the pen on the coffee table before getting up, finding her reading glasses, putting them on, and beginning to read it carefully.
As she read, she kept looking up at Ye Beiping, her expression changing each time she looked up.
shock!
novel!
Unbelievable!
...
Countless emotions appeared on her face.
After reading the entire agreement, Grandma Qiu slowly took off her reading glasses, paused slightly, pointed at the agreement on the paper, and asked, "Where did you learn this? Aren't you from the countryside? Is this how things are written in the countryside now?"
The three questions left Ye Beiping somewhat bewildered.
At the same time, Su Xinyi and Zhou Xiaomei also looked at Ye Beiping, wanting to know the answer.
During her three years in the countryside, Su Xinyi didn't see these things much, but she did have some understanding of them. Because of some agreement issues, the villagers didn't understand and petitioned many times.
But she had never heard of anyone writing like Ye Beiping.
If everyone wrote it this way, then there would be no need for those country folks to petition for notarization.
Some of the educated youth in the settlement were invited several times to resolve these written problems. They never expected that Ye Beiping's writings would be so detailed.
The compensation details and timeframes are all clearly stated.
