The Gao brothers were very satisfied: "Sister Ying, I like it very much!" Gao Ziyue's face showed a rare look of excitement.
As the eldest son in the family, Gao Ziyue has always been very strict with himself, so he is much more composed than the lively Gao Zixiu and rarely shows his emotions.
Both brothers only finished junior high school before becoming apprentices and gradually working their way up. Deep down, they both longed to continue their education.
I chose not to go to school because of the pressure of life; I didn't want my mother to work too hard.
Now that I have the opportunity, I am naturally very willing.
Ye Wanying saw through their thoughts and immediately started asking the people setting up stalls nearby if there were any houses for rent in the vicinity. Unexpectedly, she actually found one.
"How many people will be living here? What kind of place are you looking to rent? The houses around here are all old, so the conditions might not be very good!" the wood seller asked.
"Big sister, it's just the two of us brothers living here. The conditions are nothing special, as long as people can live here, that's fine." The two brothers work outside, and most of the time they can only live in a shed made of plastic sheeting. When it rains, they suffer. When the sun is blazing, it gets so hot inside that you feel like you're wearing a layer of skin. Plastic sheeting doesn't dissipate heat at all.
Even if the conditions are terrible, how much worse can they be?
The woman smiled and said, "Sure, there are two empty rooms that would be suitable for you to stay in. They're zero, but the houses were just renovated this year, so you don't have to worry about wind or rain."
These conditions are still not good?
Gao Ziyue immediately had an idea: "Big sister, we'll rent this house. Can you take us to see it? How much is it?"
The woman stopped selling vegetables and simply slung the vegetable basket over her wrist, saying, "Let's go, I'll take you to see if you like the house."
The group followed the eldest sister, walked around half a street, and arrived at a courtyard.
“That’s it!” everyone pointed to the courtyard.
Meanwhile, several children were playing games in the yard. One of them, a girl with two braids, saw the vegetable vendor and immediately ran over to her.
"Mother!"
The group then realized that the house they wanted to rent belonged to the eldest sister herself.
Sure enough, just as my elder sister had said, the courtyard had been renovated, and the straw on the roof looked fresh.
"Da Ya, go play by yourself. Mom has something to talk about."
The girl then turned around and ran towards her companion.
"Our girl is so naughty!" Although that's what they said, everyone's eyes clearly showed their love for their daughter.
Ye Wanying, being a mother herself, could naturally tell: "What a lovely girl!" she said with a smile.
That girl looks so lively, especially those two braids, they're so cute.
The older woman put down her shopping basket: "The house we want to rent is in the back, it's two old houses. Right now, it's just me, my child, and my husband living here, so there's some space, which is why we're thinking of renting it out."
When they arrived at the backyard, they saw several old houses with two fences. The eldest sister pushed open the door of one of the houses and said, "This used to be where my grandfather lived, but he went to my aunt's house in the next province a few months ago. I have cleaned the house. If you want to rent it, you can move in directly."
This solved the brothers' immediate problem, as they could live there directly without having to look for a place to stay.
They're not children; they know that staying at someone else's house would be a bother, which is why they decisively rejected Ye Wanying's suggestion earlier.
