That's right, the person who stepped in to steal the deal this time was Zhang Qianwen.
This woman wouldn't dare to compete with Luo Zixi in any other aspect.
However, when it comes to money, she believes she can make Luo Zixi suffer a great loss.
The village secretary was overjoyed to hear that someone was trying to steal the Bai family's old house.
"Oh dear, you two young women from the educated youth movement, are you asking for the highest bidder to win?"
"That's perfect, whoever pays the most money will get the house."
"Anyway, this house has been empty for a while now. Luo Zhiqing, are you going to raise the price again?"
Hearing the village secretary's words and seeing Zhang Qianwen's defiant expression, Luo Zixi couldn't help but laugh.
This woman probably has no idea what's wrong with the Bai family's old house.
That's perfect, let Zhang Qianwen go and test the waters first.
Anyway, this old house is really ominous.
Hopefully, Zhang Qianwen won't come back crying so soon; it would be better if she stayed there a little longer.
Luo Zixi smiled and made no counterattack.
“Village chief, since Zhang Zhiqing likes this house so much, let’s give it to her.”
"I'm fine with renting or not. Maybe I should just stay at the educated youth settlement for a couple of days first, and then choose a house later."
Hearing Luo Zixi's words, Zhang Qianwen was a little incredulous. When did Luo Zixi become so easy to talk to?
She used to be like a hedgehog; anyone who touched her would get pricked.
However, she thought that Luo Zixi probably didn't have much money either, so she didn't have the resources to compete with her.
Thinking of this, Zhang Qianwen couldn't help but raise her proud head again, like a hen that had won a fight.
This made Luo Zixi laugh even more happily.
Since that's the case, then I'll let you be smug for a while. I hope you won't come back crying so soon. Try to find out more about the old house for me.
At this moment, the village party secretary also said to Zhang Qianwen with a smile:
“Zhang Zhiqing, let’s get this straight: we need to have a written agreement. Once the contract for this house is signed, the rent is non-refundable.”
"This price applies whether you rent for a year or leave immediately. Moreover, I will continue to rent out this house after you leave."
"The house is so big, yet so cheap, there must be a reason. Anyway, people in the past didn't have much willpower, and most of them left after only a few days. You should think it over carefully."
Hearing the village secretary say that, Zhang Qianwen couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
At this moment, Luo Zixi couldn't help but chime in from the sidelines:
“Zhang Zhiqing, if you’re having second thoughts, you don’t have to rent it now.”
Anyway, I'm willing to live there.
Seeing Zhang Qianwen hesitate, Luo Zixi couldn't help but smile and add fuel to the fire.
Upon hearing Luo Zixi say this, Zhang Qianwen immediately felt that Luo Zixi must have some kind of private deal with the village secretary.
This house is so cheap, only three yuan a month in rent, and it's a very large old house.
Unlike other cramped little courtyards, this place can be considered a mansion.
Look at the courtyards and houses that were rented to the educated youth, even a small tile-roofed house costs one yuan a month.
Renting a large courtyard for three yuan is a great deal for anyone.
Even at three yuan a month, a large number of educated youth could not afford it.
In those days in the countryside, three yuan could be enough for them to earn work points for a period of time, and could also be exchanged for a lot of grain.
Not every educated youth who came from the city came from a well-off family.
The sun is shining brightly now, and the old house looks fine.
Since Luo Zixi took a liking to this place immediately, she must think it's a good place.
Moreover, other courtyards had also come into the view of the educated youth.
Even a decent courtyard costs five yuan a month in rent.
Anyway, the fact that the Bai family's old mansion, such a large mansion, costs only three yuan a month, is strange and eerie.
A smart person wouldn't pay this money to stay here.
After all, there's bound to be problems if you just think about it casually; these days, there's no such thing as a free lunch.
Especially in rural areas, it may be more difficult to take advantage of others than in the city.
However, if Zhang Qianwen doesn't rent it, Luo Zixi can immediately take her place.
This made Zhang Qianwen unhappy; she couldn't stand seeing Luo Zixi have an easy time.
She absolutely couldn't let Luo Zixi rent the house she wanted so easily.
So, in the end, Zhang Qianwen gritted her teeth and didn't care anymore. If Luo Zixi could stay, why couldn't she, Zhang Qianwen, stay?
She is no less capable than Luo Zixi; she wants to prove herself, and she is far more capable than Luo Zixi.
Luo Zixi is just a boorish, wild girl. What else can she do besides fight?
She has the face of a vixen but the strength of Zhang Fei. What's she so proud of?
Later, those men will surely see through this vixen's true colors, and knowing how rude she is, they won't like her.
Now, she'll rent the mansion first. Maybe in the future, if Gu Yancheng doesn't like living there, they can live together!
Zhang Qianwen thought about it with a smug look and decided that it was a feasible idea.
She took out three ten-yuan bills and six one-yuan bills directly from her well-preserved purse.
"Secretary, it's thirty-six yuan in total. That's a year's rent, not a penny less. Count it yourself."
“We quickly signed the contract, and then this place was rented to me.”
When the Party Secretary saw how generous Zhang, the educated youth, was, he immediately took out several tens of yuan and was overjoyed.
The Bai family's old house has been abandoned for a long time, and he himself has started to have doubts.
Because everyone, to some extent, knows about the infamous reputation of this old house.
Generally, newly arrived educated youth would stay at the educated youth settlement for a period of time, learn some information and conditions from the older educated youth, and then decide on the matter of renting a house.
But today is truly bizarre. I don't know what got into Luo, the educated youth, that he insisted on renting this old Bai family house.
There was another girl over there who insisted on grabbing it; strange things happen every year, but this year there seem to be more than usual.
This new batch of educated youth all seem quite capable, so why are there two who are prone to making foolish mistakes?
However, the old Party Secretary didn't care about this matter; as long as there was money to be made, that was enough.
He had already made it clear beforehand that whatever happens to these girls in the future is their own fault.
He has reminded me repeatedly that I shouldn't live in this house if I don't have self-control.
If you can't stay calm and end up being scared away, you can't blame anyone else.
The Party Secretary happily wrote down the lease agreement and then handed it directly to Zhang Qianwen.
Zhang Qianwen glanced at Luo Zixi with a smug look, her meaning clear:
Haha, look at the house you wanted, I still snatched it from you! What are you so smug about?
As a result, Luo Zixi was indeed very pleased with herself, and even revealed a meaningful smile:
"Zhang Zhiqing, I wish you a pleasant stay in your new house and a smooth move-in!"
