In this day and age, housing is scarce. Where can you find a detached house for rent? Even if you could, it would be very expensive. It would be a waste for her to live there by herself, and it wouldn't be safe either.
The two followed Sister Wang into the courtyard, where the elderly women and children sunbathing all looked over.
"Officer Wang, what brings you here?" The first to speak was an old woman with slanted eyes.
Sister Wang said with a smile, "Someone wanted to rent a house, so I took them to Sister Tian's house to take a look. Aunt Lan, is Sister Tian home?"
The old woman with slanted eyes immediately turned pale when she heard that someone wanted to rent a house, before she could say anything.
"Officer Wang is here! I'm home. Come in and have a seat!" Hearing the voice, Aunt Tian went out and looked at Bu Yi in military uniform and the thin Bu Ling behind her. "These must be the people who want to rent a house. Come on, let's go inside and have a look."
He grabbed Bu Ling's hand and headed towards her room. When they passed the old woman with slanted eyes, he didn't even glance at her, assuming she didn't know what kind of tricks the old hag was up to.
Buling glanced at Sister Wang, and seeing that she didn't stop him, he followed the old lady into the house with peace of mind.
Once inside the house, Aunt Tian said, "Girl, look, this is the best room I have, there's absolutely no problem with it."
Bling carefully examined the room and found that what the old lady said was indeed true.
The house was well maintained and cleaned. It was about 17 square meters, which was enough for her to live in by herself. It was just that it was empty and had no furniture, but that didn't matter. She could add her own furniture to suit her taste.
Seeing the satisfaction on the girl's face, Aunt Tian knew there was hope. "Girl, how is it? Is it to your liking?"
When Bu Ling heard the question, he glanced at Aunt Tian. Her face looked somewhat distressed, but her eyes were clear and honest. Her clothes had many patches, but they were very clean. From this, one could tell that she was a clean and honest old lady. When renting a house, the landlord is very important.
"Aunt Tian, let's talk about the rent for this room now." Having taken a liking to it, Bu Ling didn't hesitate.
Upon hearing Bu Ling's words, Aunt Tian immediately beamed with joy. "Girl, I'm not trying to cheat you. Although my room doesn't have much furniture, it's still a very nice room, bright and airy, and quite spacious."
Seeing that Bu Ling nodded, "How about this, you pay four yuan a month for rent, and I'll give you one yuan less, as a way to buy you some furniture."
Aunt Tian gritted her teeth and said that if her house had furniture, people would be scrambling to rent it for five yuan a month. It was only because it was unfurnished that many people were scared away, and the rest were frightened away by that old hag, Blue Butterfly.
Buling wasn't sure if the rent was expensive or not. "Auntie, I need to ask my brother." Her brother would definitely know the going rate.
Aunt Tian nodded repeatedly, "Of course, of course."
