"I've heard that extortion and theft are punishable by several years in prison, and anyway, I have relatives who work as police officers in the city, so I happened to stop by to visit my relatives." Liu Xiaping turned her face and began to fool around with her eyes open.

The reason is that Aunt Lin doesn't know the law and doesn't dare to provoke the police.

Sure enough, as soon as she said this, Aunt Lin, who was originally upright, suddenly softened and accompanied her smile, "Xiaoping, someone in your family is a public security officer in the city?" ”

Liu Xiaping glanced at her lightly and said disdainfully, "Of course, my cousin is in the Public Security Bureau, otherwise where would Sister He Xiang and I dare to come to the city alone?" ”

He Xiang was silent on the side, but secretly held back a smile in his heart.

She is a Qing'er, if the Liu family really had a relative who worked as a public security officer in the city, the people of the Liu family would have been angry a long time ago, where could they still hide it?

Obviously, Liu Xiaping is deceiving people.

But looking at Aunt Lin's appearance, He Xiang naturally wouldn't expose her stupidly, but followed with a look of disdain, glaring at Liu Xiaping, "It's all you, Auntie let us live in her house temporarily, you wanted to run out to rent a house, but I didn't expect that in the end, everything was stolen, these are proud, right?" ”

Seeing He Xiang say this, Aunt Lin's heart suddenly jumped, and she couldn't help but think of the fact that there were so many food stamps in the hands of the two.

How can the daughters of ordinary families have so many food stamps that can be sold? If you don't have a background, do you really dare to come to the city?

There was some hair in her heart, Aunt Lin coughed lightly, she didn't dare to really mess with them, and hurriedly smiled, "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, Auntie, it's not that there is no food at home, I want to take some improvisation from you first, you two girls are too anxious......"

Liu Xiaping didn't care so much, and smiled coldly, "Auntie, don't say these words, return the money to us first, we can't afford to rent your house." ”

Aunt Lin's face changed, and she secretly scolded a few words for not knowing what to do, so she had to hold her breath and go to the house to get the money.

The house was only lived in for one day, and the rest of the money was naturally returned to them.

The rest of the money for the bones and meat that was explained was also refunded, and Liu Xiaping and He Xiang also asked for a refund of the other rented things, and after taking the money, they packed up their luggage directly.

At this time, the two did not have the heart to count how much money they had earned, but took the returned money in their hands, packed up their things, and left directly with food.

It wasn't until they were far away from the small courtyard that the two couldn't help laughing.

"You girl looks quite honest, I didn't expect to fool people quite well." He Xiang said with a smile.

"It's just that I can flicker around at this time, and when that woman comes back to her senses, she will definitely find that she was cheated by us." Liu Xiaping shook her head, looked at their luggage, and sighed lightly, "Forget it, let's go and rent a house first, it seems that we can only rent a more expensive place." ”

"It's better to be more expensive than to be robbed, it's not safe at all, right?" He Xiang didn't mind, she had just tasted the sweetness of doing business, so she naturally didn't want to go back so soon, and the two of them had to save for tuition, so they had to do it for a few more days.

In this era, there are really not many places to rent a house.

Liu Xiaping didn't know if she could rent a house, so she could only carry her luggage and take one step at a time.

After walking around the train station, neither of them found a place to rent a house, Liu Xiaping was already tired and sweating, He Xiang also wrinkled her face, watching the sun gradually set, and began to get anxious.

"What should we do, or let's find a place to rent a house temporarily, right?" He Xiang was a little anxious, but Liu Xiaping shook her head.

Although they are two people, they are only two girls in the end, and it is not safe to be outside, and it is not like all the landlords who rent are orphans and widows, if they run into a black-hearted landlord, they will be in danger.

And they have to do business for a while, and they can't always change places from place to place, right? Otherwise, they will definitely be exhausted to death.

Sighing, Liu Xiaping left her luggage and asked He Xiang to stand in place and guard her things first, intending to inquire again.

He Xiang was already tired of walking, and when she heard her say this, she naturally wanted to rest for a while, and waved her hand to let her go first.

"Auntie, do you know where there is a place to rent a house?"

"This big family is crowded together, how can there be a house to rent to you."

"You're out of town? Why come here to rent a house? ”

"I don't know where I'm renting a house, I haven't heard of it."

……

ran a lot of places one after another, asked a lot of people, Liu Xiaping gasped, and the whole person was about to despair.

Is it true that no one is renting out the house at this time?

I can't be anxious, she and Sister He Xiang can't spend one night outside, right?

Even if it's summer, the temperature at night is very low, and the two of them will definitely catch a cold.

Just as she was standing on the side of the road, sweating profusely, an old lady suddenly walked up to her and patted her on the shoulder.

"Girl, are you looking for a house to live in?"

The old lady's hair was gray, and she was wearing a short shirt made of homespun cloth with many patches before and after, and her gaze was also tinged with anticipation.

Liu Xiaping looked at this kind-looking old lady and hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"I have a house here to rent, girl, do you want to go and see it?" The old lady's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly spoke.

Liu Xiaping pursed her lips before saying, "Mother-in-law, can you tell me what the house you want to rent is like?" How big is it? Is water and electricity convenient? Are the kitchens separated? ”

"The house is about 20 square meters, there is a bed and a wardrobe, the electricity has been connected, there is running water, and the kitchen has a small balcony, where you can build a coal stove." The old lady hurriedly talked about her house, "It's only two dollars a month." ”

Two bucks?

Liu Xiaping frowned, and calculated an account in her heart.

Before, it was 7 cents a day to live in a short-term rental, and it was more than two yuan a month, so it was more cost-effective to rent this mother-in-law's house.

And the water and electricity are also complete, it sounds like there is a balcony for coal stoves, which means that the kitchen can be separated, which is to her liking, with their current income, two yuan a month's rent is not too expensive.

"Mother-in-law, can you take me to see the house first? I have to look at the place to find out if I can rent it. Liu Xiaping thought about it and said.

The old lady immediately laughed and said with a smile, "Yes, my house is quite close to here, just a few minutes away." ”

As she spoke, the old lady led the way in front, and Liu Xiaping hurriedly followed, and soon arrived in front of a small courtyard, which looked like a small courtyard in ancient times.
