Chapter 119 Renting a House
Lin Xianxian was a little unhappy. "Auntie, just show me the way. There's no need to bother you."
The auntie smiled as she carried the vegetables: "It's okay, it's already late and I have to go back to cook lunch, so I won't be late!"
The aunt looked very kind, her eyes were glued to Lin Xianxian. This girl is so pretty!
Lin Xianxian felt uncomfortable being looked at and lowered her head, and the aunt then withdrew her gaze.
Some memories of past lives came to mind. Although this area looks shabby and no one cares about it now, high-rise buildings will be erected around it within ten years, and it will become the economic and cultural center of Zhi'an County.
The housing prices in this area will also skyrocket. Because every inch of land is valuable, the government will levy high prices on the property, and the people in this area will become the first batch of nouveau riche to be relocated.
Lin Xianxian couldn't help but think that it would be great if she had a house like this, but if she had the chance, she could buy seventy or eighty of them.
The two walked for about ten minutes and just as they turned into Fuxing Hutong, they knocked loudly on the door and shouted in a loud voice: "Jin Xi, are you there? Someone wants to rent a room!"
“Here it comes!”
At this time, a disheveled woman with a sallow face came out, followed by a lame child.
The auntie pointed in Lin Xianxian's direction with her mouth and said, "Yes, she is the one who wants to rent your house. I brought her to you!"
Lin Xianxian introduced herself confidently, "I'm Lin Xianxian, and I want to rent a house."
The woman seemed very excited. "Hey, drink a glass of water first!"
While the woman turned around to serve tea and water, the aunt whispered in Lin Xianxian's ear, "This woman has a miserable life. Her husband died, and she's raising two children alone. She's a mean person, and she's a bitch."
The old lady's eyes were very expressive, and her face showed that it would be worthwhile for you to rent her house.
Lin Xianxian nodded, feeling that the words sounded a little familiar.
"Jinmei, you guys can chat for a while, I'm going back to cook!"
"Auntie Wang, wouldn't you like to sit down and have a drink of water?"
The aunt waved her hand, "No!"
Lin Xianxian took the water cup, took a sip, and put it down. "Auntie, let's look at the house!"
"Okay, I'll take you here!"
The woman took Lin Xianxian to the easternmost end, took out her key, and unlocked the room. "The previous family just moved out yesterday, so I've already cleaned it up. Do you think it's satisfactory?"
Lin Xianxian glanced around and found the room very clean. The house was old and the furniture was old, but it was still relatively tidy. It was obvious that the woman was very hardworking.
"Auntie, how much is this house per month?"
The woman was a little nervous. "It was originally ten dollars, but if you want to stay, I'll give you eight."
"Just ten dollars."
The woman's clothes were washed white and the cuffs were worn out. For Lin Xianxian, two yuan was enough to buy three servings of lotus leaf rice, but for the woman, it might be a few days' food expenses.
"But I don't know how long I can stay here. If I leave, you can't make things difficult for me!"
Let’s put things one way and say what needs to be said clearly.
The woman thought about it and nodded. It was rare to meet such a straightforward tenant. "But you have to pay a month's deposit and three months' rent. If you check out, I'll give it back to you!"
Lin Xianxian nodded and took out forty yuan in one breath.
The woman took the money and went to write a receipt, and Lin Xianxian followed her footsteps.
The room where the woman lived was very cramped. The small space was filled with cardboard boxes, some blurred and some not, everywhere, making it difficult to turn around.
Jin Xi handed the handwritten receipt and keys to Lin Xianxian, smiling unhappily, "I'm so sorry, I don't even have a place to stay."
Lin Xianxian smiled and said, "Aunt Jin Xi, I'll be leaving first."
