"That's not what Mom meant."
As soon as Yan Ling finished speaking, Su Jingjing added, "Don't worry, leave everything to me."
Su Jingjing walked up to the older woman and asked with a smile, "Auntie, how much is the rent for this apartment?"
The woman was confident of success; her house was a rare find, and she was certain she would be satisfied once she saw it.
"Girl, I can tell you're a straightforward person. How about six yuan a month?"
Yan Ling clicked her tongue. "No, no, it's too expensive."
Six yuan can last for two months in the countryside.
Shops are for doing business, so it's okay to buy one that's a bit more expensive, but houses don't necessarily need to be that nice.

Yan Ling chimed in, "Girl, you still need to use your money to open the shop, you don't need to contribute."
"Auntie, use my money."
Dong Qin stuffed the money into the old woman's hand.
The older woman exclaimed sincerely, "Your family is so united!"
She felt completely at ease leaving the house to this family.
