Chapter 15 Give you money
After get off work that day, the two of them went to look for each other again, but unfortunately they had no gains.
It was not until the fourth day that Xue Ling decided to rent the house he had seen for the first time on Songming Road.
"It's not far from where I go to work. It takes only five or six minutes to walk on a bicycle. The main reason is that there are many restaurants nearby, there are many residents, and their own yards, so it's safe to enter and exit."
Cheng Tianyuan thought that there was no better choice, but he was still worried.
"If it's cheaper, that's even better. Forty yuan a month is almost a quarter of your salary."
Xue Ling also felt a little painful, but she was not worried that she could not afford it.
Yesterday, I went to the post office to get a foreign book sent to her by my friend Xiao Jiaxue, and asked her to translate it quickly and check it out every half a month.
She went back to the hotel last night to take a shower, and then went to bed after turning over a thousand words. Although she didn't go to bed until after twelve o'clock, she earned twenty yuan, and she felt excited and happy when she thought about it.
Now it’s just started, and when you are familiar with it, you will definitely translate faster and earn more.
Cheng Tianyuan was very cautious in doing things and said, "Don't be bothered, maybe the house has been rented out. Let's go and take a look first and ask if the old lady can be cheaper."
Xue Ling nodded and smiled, "Since you have decided, you must talk about the price."
He rode his bike with her over and asked the old lady that he hadn't rented it out yet.
The old lady was also very smart. Seeing that the couple would return in a few days, she guessed that they would not find anything better, so she didn't lose the price.
"I said it all! It can be five yuan cheaper, only forty yuan a month. In addition to a monthly deposit, you have to pay one yuan per month."
Cheng Tianyuan advised him several times, but the old lady just refused to let go.
Xue Ling thought about it and walked forward.
"I can understand that the old lady wants to pay one yuan per month for a few months. Because you can't live here next time, we have to mail it to you. But if you think about it carefully, in addition to the deposit, you have to pay four months at a time, which is 160 yuan. This is too much!"
The old lady dodged and blinked, muttering in a low voice: "Then I'm a bargain! It's a full five dollars!"
Xue Ling looked at the house behind her and smiled and said, "Your house is very new, with convenient transportation nearby, with many residents, but not messy. A house like you was originally rented by a lot of people, but it couldn't be rented out for several months. This is definitely the reason, right?"
In this era, if you can earn a salary of 150 yuan a month, you are considered a high-income group.
But everything is money for food, drink, accommodation and transportation. There are old people and young people. Most of them are moonlight tribes at the end of the month. It would be good if they could have a little extra money.
It’s okay if you spend a few dozen or one hundred yuan, but you’ll have to buy some furniture to move in. There are at least two hundred yuan!
Rongcheng is still a small county town, and there are definitely not many people who can spend so much money to rent a house at one time.
The old lady was called out and smiled awkwardly.
"But I can't do anything about it! My daughter, I said a few days ago that I will go and take care of my grandson next time, and maybe I won't come back to live in the future. I'm far away and can only mail it, but I always feel it's not safe, so I'd better pay it back a few months. In the future, I'll call my relatives to help collect it."
Xue Ling shook his head and said, "If you have the sincerity to rent, then you will get thirty-five yuan and make up a small integer. I only have enough money to pay for four months, and I will have sex with you in one go."
"No!" The old lady immediately objected and shouted: "At least five yuan, and if there is another five yuan, isn't that ten yuan? Too much!"
Xue Ling pretended not to care at all, grabbed Cheng Tianyuan's arm, and acted to pull it out.
Then, he said in a loud voice: "Let's go to the end of the street to rent it! He only needs thirty-five, and he can pay it back a month or a month. The house is just a little smaller. We are only two of us, enough to live."
Cheng Tianyuan was slightly stunned, and quickly reacted and nodded in cooperation.
"Okay, just rent that one."
After speaking, the two walked out of the yard.
"Wait!" The old lady stopped them with a blushing face, as if she made a very difficult decision: "Rent! Thirty-five a month, but adding a deposit would be four months!"
Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan looked at each other, and they all had happy smiles like success in each other's eyes.
It’s really cheap to rent a house of 35 yuan!
However, Xue Ling did not dare to be too happy and curled his lips and said, "We should be more formal. Let's write the contract with a note, write the details clearly, and sign and approve the signature, and leave a stub for the owner and tenant. What do you think?"
"Finish!" The old lady smiled and said in a muffled voice: "I see you all look like scholars and you are clean. As long as you clean my house, I don't disagree."
The old man is prone to change his mind when he is old. Xue Ling strikes while the iron is hot, takes out a small notebook, and writes down a very simple contract.
The old lady recognized the words, and after reading them, she nodded with satisfaction.
"You girl is pretty and her handwriting is pretty. What are you doing?"
Xue Ling answered briefly: "I work in Rongcheng Newspaper in the front and am a small editor."
The old man turned his head and laughed at Cheng Tianyuan, "Young man, you are very lucky! He married such a capable and beautiful wife!"
Cheng Tianyuan suddenly looked at his "beautiful wife". The two looked at each other, and they all blushed one after another.
"...Thank you." He nodded slightly.
I thought he would pretend to be deaf and even refute a few words, but I didn't expect him to respond like this - but Xue Ling was so happy!
The old lady explained: "Actually, it's mainly because my son will come to pick me up next week. I was in a hurry to leave, and I saw that you and your wife were both honest, so I agreed. I asked a relative to help rent out the next door."
Xue Ling smiled loudly and said, "We bring the money here tomorrow morning and move in at noon tomorrow. Do you think there is no problem?"
"Okay!" said the old lady: "As I said before, you can use the things you need, you can make up for what you lack. I can clean it for you tomorrow morning."
After the negotiations were completed, it was already dark, and Cheng Tianyuan took her back towards the hotel.
The two of them were already hungry and ate a big bowl of Yangchun noodles on the side of the road before finally recovering.
Xue Ling said: "I don't have much stuff. When I go to work tomorrow morning, I will just move it over."
Cheng Tianyuan nodded and said, "I'll go back to the dormitory to take a shower and help you clean up. Your suitcase is a bit heavy. I'll take you there tomorrow morning, and then I'll go to work."
The two hurriedly said goodbye.
More than half an hour later, Cheng Tianyuan came over, took out more than a dozen five-pieces and a few big-tied ten-pieces from his pocket and handed them to Xue Ling.
"This is one hundred yuan, I'll pay it back tomorrow."
Xue Ling was stunned. Is he going to help her pay the rent?
"No need, I...the money around me is enough for the time being."
He stuffed the money into her hand and explained: "I paid half a month's salary in advance, and the rest was earned by working in a casual job. You only need one month to get your salary, and you still need three meals. You can't spend all the remaining money around you."
Xue Ling was moved in his heart, and raised his head and stared at him with a smile.
"I can't."
