Hearing her say this, the old man's attitude became more friendly: "Haha! It's not small. Although my house has two bedrooms and a living room, it is well decorated and has a lot of space inside. Why don't you go up and take a look first? If you are not satisfied, I will take you to see other houses."
"Okay, since we're already downstairs, let's go up and take a look!"
Xia Tian wasn't entirely satisfied with the apartment, but to help Qiu Mengyun regain her composure, he agreed to check it out. Of course, Xia Tian wasn't dissatisfied because the apartment was too small, but because it was too large. He knew that with their limited budget, a one-bedroom apartment would be a good deal. A two-bedroom apartment was a dream.
Seeing that Xia Tian said this, Qiu Mengyun didn't say much and followed the two of them into the elevator very obediently.
The house was not big, and the two of them quickly looked around the house.
The landlord wasn't lying. Although the house wasn't very large, it was well decorated. The space inside didn't seem cramped, and the decor was quite warm, giving it a homey feel.
Qiu Mengyun was a little tempted. She pulled Xia Tian's sleeve and whispered, "I think this place is okay. Why don't we rent it?"
Xia Tian shook his head calmly: "Not here, not enough money."
"How is that possible? Don't we have 3,500 yuan? Is it not enough for even one month's rent?" Qiu Mengyun asked in surprise.
Xia Tian didn't explain much, but asked the landlord, "Uncle, how much does this house cost per month?"
The landlord smiled and said, "This house is not expensive, only 2,000 yuan a month."
When Qiu Mengyun heard that the rent was only 2,000 yuan a month, she was ready to refute Xia Tian.
Before she could say anything, Xia Tian continued to ask, "Is it a one-to-one deposit?"
The landlord nodded. "Yes, one month's deposit, one month's payment. But don't worry, I'm not a rip-off. When you move out, I'll return the deposit. I won't do anything like using lanterns to determine damages."
Only then did Qiu Mengyun understand why Xia Tian insisted on not having enough money when the rent was only 2,000 yuan a month.
But she was quite adaptable. After understanding the situation, she immediately stepped forward, looked at the landlord pitifully and said, "Uncle, to tell you the truth, we ran away from our marriage. My family insisted on marrying me to the idiot at the head of our village, and we had no choice but to run away. We don't have much money now, and we can't afford to rent this house. Can you find us a cheaper one-bedroom apartment?"
