Chapter 1948 Renting a House
"What do you want from us?" Zhou Muniang asked Lu Xiaoxiao.
"Aunt, I just heard you say that your family has a house to rent, is that true?"
"It's true."
"Can you rent me the house?"
"No." Zhou Muniang refused directly after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said.
"Why?"
"The location of the house is too remote. What if something happens while you live there? I don't want to get into trouble just by renting a house."
"So that's why Auntie refused to rent the house to me. Actually, Auntie, you don't have to worry about this problem, because I'm not renting the house to live in, but someone in my family was injured, so I want to find a place to boil medicine."
“Why don’t you cook it at home?”
"My home is not in Beijing."
Zhou Muniang was a little moved when she heard what Lu Xiaoxiao said. Her old house had not been rented out for a long time because its location was too remote. Now that someone finally wanted to rent the house, she didn't want to miss it.
"Sister, I don't want to cheat you, so you should go with me to see the house first and then decide whether to rent it or not."
After hearing what Zhou Muniang said, Lu Xiaoxiao knew that Zhou Muniang meant well, so she nodded in agreement.
"Mrs. Mu, I won't go shopping for groceries with you today." Zhou Mu Niang said to Lian Ermei.
"Go do what you want, don't worry about me."
After hearing what Lian Ermei said, Zhou Muniang smiled at Lian Ermei apologetically, then left with Lu Xiaoxiao.
Lu Xiaoxiao followed Zhou Muniang through twists and turns for nearly an hour and finally arrived at the house that Zhou Muniang wanted to rent out.
"Are you still planning to look for a house now?" Zhou Muniang asked Lu Xiaoxiao.
"Since we are here, we must see it."
When Zhou Mu Niang heard what Lu Xiaoxiao said, she took out the key and opened the door while saying to Lu Xiaoxiao: "Our house is really good. It was built entirely of bricks. If it weren't for the remote location, we really wouldn't be willing to move."
Although Lu Xiaoxiao didn't know what the inside of the house looked like, seeing that the walls of the house were all made of bricks, the inside must be good, so she pointed at some.
After Zhou Mu Niang opened the door, she took Lu Xiaoxiao into the yard and said to Lu Xiaoxiao: "Look around as you like."
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard what Zhou Mu Niang said, she walked around the house inside and out, then she walked up to Zhou Mu Niang and said, "Auntie, I'm very satisfied with the house. I wonder how much it costs per month?"
"If you really want to rent it, it's six dollars a month. Although my house is a bit far away, it's large. If it weren't far away, you definitely wouldn't be able to rent it for less than nine dollars."
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard the price Zhou Mu Niang quoted, she knew that Zhou Mu Niang was not cheating her, so she said, "Aunt, I have rented the house, but I don't know if I can rent it for only one month."
"Can."
"Okay, let's write a rental agreement and I'll rent the house now."
"OK."
After Lu Xiaoxiao and Zhou Muniang signed the rental agreement, she gave six dollars to Zhou Muniang.
After Zhou Mu Niang received Lu Xiaoxiao's money, she handed the key to the house to Lu Xiaoxiao.
"Auntie, you don't have to give me the key. Just take the lock off the door and I'll get a new one."
Zhou Muniang was not unhappy when she heard what Lu Xiaoxiao said. She felt that Lu Xiaoxiao was prudent. If it were someone else, they would probably just replace her lock and throw it away.
