Ye Beiping scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "I can only say that I've learned a little bit."
"Yeah?"
Grandma Qiu was no ordinary person; she clearly didn't believe Ye Beiping's words.
But she suddenly didn't know how to sign the autograph. She felt that Ye Beiping was pretending to be weak while actually being strong. Would it be dangerous to bring such a tiger into the house?
Seemingly sensing Grandma Qiu's troubled expression, Ye Beiping said, "Grandma Qiu, please rest assured that we will take good care of your house since we are renting it from you."
The subtext is, "Don't worry, I have no ill intentions."
Su Xinyi, who is ignorant of social etiquette, certainly wouldn't understand, and Zhou Xiaomei next to her would understand even less; being able to read doesn't mean understanding sarcastic remarks.
Zhou Xiaomei would definitely understand the plain language, but this kind of deep subconscious thought is something she really can't figure out even after several days.
Grandma Qiu stared intently at Ye Beiping for a moment, then looked at Su Xinyi, her gaze finally settling on Su Xinyi's lower abdomen.
With a heavy sigh, Grandma Qiu gently picked up her pen and signed her name as the first party in both agreements.
Grandma Qiu, being an educated person, could immediately tell who was Party A and who was Party B.
Ye Beiping took the paper back, signed his name on the "Party B" page, and also wrote down his ID number.
There's no need to show this. In his previous life, he had memorized his ID number perfectly. Buying plane tickets and high-speed rail tickets required real-name registration.
After signing, Ye Beiping handed the pen and paper to Zhou Xiaomei.
This action confused Zhou Xiaomei: "What? Do I need to sign something? I'm not renting a house."
It has to be said that this Sister Zhou was unusually low in vigilance, fearing that Ye Beiping would set a trap for her.
Grandma Qiu couldn't stand it anymore and pouted, saying, "Didn't you see the words 'witness' on it? You were present the whole time in our agreement. You can come out and testify if anything happens in the future."
Grandma Qiu's tone was not very friendly towards Zhou Xiaomei.
For a learned person like her, she would generally not deal with a roughneck like Zhou Xiaomei. If it weren't for the fact that they were neighbors and Zhou Xiaomei was reliable, Grandma Qiu probably would have spoken to her in an even worse tone.
"oh oh."
After being looked at with disdain by Grandma Qiu, Zhou Xiaomei awkwardly accepted the paper and pen with a smile.
He signed his name in the place Ye Beiping pointed out, but it was crooked and messy, and really couldn't compare to the handwriting above.
Even though Grandma Qiu's handwriting is not as neat as Ye Beiping's, it is still pleasing to the eye and has a sense of calligraphy.
As for Zhou Xiaomei's handwriting, well... how to describe it?
What elementary school teachers often say: crawl like a dog!
The agreement was made in duplicate. Ye Beiping gave one copy to Grandma Qiu and folded the other copy and handed it to Su Xinyi.
He took out some more money from his pocket, counted out 240 yuan, and handed it to Grandma Qiu.
"Grandma Qiu, this is a year's rent."
Zhou Xiaomei's eyes lit up when she saw money; she was clearly a woman who loved money more than anything.
However, Zhou Xiaomei did not expect Ye Beiping to be so generous as to take out 240 yuan directly. She was worried that he did not have money, but now that he took it out all at once, the way she looked at him changed.
They even wondered about the veracity of Ye Beiping's earlier words.
Grandma Qiu took the money without counting it and stuffed it directly into her pocket.
Unexpectedly, the next second Ye Beiping saw that Grandma Qiu had put the money away, and then took out another piece of paper and pen and handed it to Grandma Qiu: "Grandma Qiu, you've received the money, so please write a receipt, otherwise it will be difficult to explain later."
Um?
Grandma Qiu was stunned, and Zhou Xiaomei and Su Xinyi didn't dare to breathe.
I didn't expect Ye Beiping to be so direct.
Grandma Qiu was stunned for a couple of seconds, then burst into laughter and muttered, "Inviting a wolf into the house, inviting a wolf into the house! I didn't expect it to be such a cunning little fox who doesn't suffer any losses at all."
It's hard to tell whether that's a compliment or an insult.
But Grandma Qiu still wrote a receipt with her pen.
When Ye Beiping received the receipt, he smiled and gave Grandma Qiu a slight bow: "Thank you, Grandma Qiu. We'll be relying on you in the future. Xinyi and I will be moving in tomorrow."
"Xinyi?"
Upon hearing the name for the first time, Grandma Qiu pointed at Su Xinyi and said, "Xinyi is your wife, right? Nice name, but..."
Grandma Qiu didn't say anything more, but her gaze towards Ye Beiping seemed a little strange.
At this moment, she also began to doubt whether the stories Zhou Xiaomei told were true or false. Since she was unsure whether they were true or false, they could only be called stories.
Ye Beiping, being a shrewd man, was well aware of the meaning behind Grandma Qiu's words, and could only smile slightly and let it go.
Turning to Zhou Xiaomei, he said, "Sister Zhou, how much is your referral fee? I'll give it to you now."
"ah?"
While Zhou Xiaomei was still pondering whether Ye Beiping's words were true or false, she suddenly exclaimed that she was somewhat bewildered.
Realizing that the topic was about referral fees, she secretly glanced at Grandma Qiu, then at Ye Beiping.
She had originally intended to ask for more, and she was also a little angry that she had been fooled by Ye Beiping, but she didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Grandma Qiu.
Zhou Xiaomei gave an awkward but polite smile: "You can pay whatever you want, after all, I only showed you the way."
She usually handles this kind of money privately.
Having worked in this industry for a long time, I know that it's not polite to collect referral fees in front of landlords. After all, it's not decades from now where everything is fair and transparent, and taking this money is perfectly legitimate and clearly priced.
