Chapter 30 Paying Rent
The alley where Liang Miaomiao's family lived was originally a village, but because the city center gradually moved closer to this side, it also developed here.
Because you can get to the city center by bus stop by three or five stops, many people are looking for a house here. Many villagers relied on their own land to build layers of small property rights and rent them to migrant workers.
These landlords, who made their fortune on the land, have nothing to do, and play mahjong in the recreation room at the mouth of the alley all day long.
Liang Miaomiao pushed open the door of the mahjong room with 10,000 yuan in cash, and recognized her landlord, Mrs. Zhou, at a glance.
Mrs. Zhou was about the same age as her mother, and she had a good temper. Liang Miaomiao's family has lived here a lot, and the rent has not risen much, and there has never been any arbitrary charges.
My mother often had psychotic episodes, and she was complained about many times by the neighbors, but Mrs. Zhou relieved her siege, saying that it is not easy for people to rent a house here. It's really rare to find a good landlord like Mrs. Zhou, so Liang Miaomiao is still very grateful to her.
Mrs. Zhou felt that she was a little familiar, touched the hand of the card for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Are you?" ”
Zhao Miaomiao said: "Mrs. Zhou, I am the daughter of Li Jing who lives on the first floor of Building 3, I had a car accident last year and went to other places for treatment for a long time. ”
Mrs. Zhou sighed, and said while playing cards: "It's good to come back." How considerate you have to be to your mother, she's a poor person! I lost my husband so early, and she thought you were dead after you had a car accident, and she howled in the house for three days. ”
"Thank you so much for Mrs. Zhou's care over the years, I heard my mother say that my family owes half a year's rent, and I am here to pay the rent."
"Just give me three thousand dollars."
As soon as Mrs. Zhou finished quoting the price, the people at the mahjong table laughed. One of the bloated women covered her mouth and smiled: "What years are these, 3,000 yuan is not enough for my rent for these two months." ”
"This little girl came at the right time, Mrs. Zhou has won a lot of money this time, and she is not short of that little rent."
Everyone laughed and joked, even Liang Miaomiao blushed embarrassedly, and handed over the prepared 10,000 yuan: "Mrs. Zhou, don't worry, I have made a lot of money during this time, you should collect as much as you want." ”
Mrs. Zhou only took out three thousand, and then returned the rest of the money to Liang Miaomiao's hand: "Your family is my old resident, are you polite to me." ”
A middle-aged woman at the next table who was playing poker listened to Mrs. Zhou's words, sneered and said, "Yo, why did Mrs. Zhou start pretending to be a good person again this time?" Don't you want to see this girl look well-behaved, so you want to win her over as a daughter-in-law? ”
Mrs. Zhou didn't feel good when she heard this woman's words, some things made a fuss when her son was studying, and the neighbors spread it all over. The woman was taunting her son about his old age, and no girl dared to marry him.
However, there was an elderly mother-in-law on the mahjong table who didn't hear what she said, and her eyes lit up and she wanted to help Mrs. Zhou match a good thing, and said to Liang Miaomiao seriously: "Sister, you see that there is no man in your family, and your mother is crazy, so it is better to marry Mrs. Zhou's family." Mrs. Zhou has a good temperament, you will follow the rent when you marry into the door, and she will not make it difficult for you. ”
"Po Wu, how did you make a matchmaker for me today?" said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and Mrs. Zhou's son Zhou Feiyue also entered the entertainment room with a lunch box.
Mrs. Zhou introduced Liang Miaomiao: "This is my son Zhou Yuefei, who has just returned from studying abroad. ”
"Hello." Zhou Yuefei gave Liang Miaomiao a hearty smile.
"Hello." Liang Miaomiao also habitually smiled back at him, and then said to Mrs. Zhou: "Mrs. Zhou, I have already made up the rent, and by the way, I told you that I may have to move to another place after this month." ”
Mrs. Zhou looked at her worriedly and said, "How can you say that you will move away?" Ah, aunts are all joking, there are some things you don't have to take to heart. ”
"The doctor said that I needed more sun exposure for my illness, so I wanted to move to a sunny place."
"That's right...... I'll see if there's a suitable house for you in this neighborhood, we've been neighbors for so long, what can I tell my wife. ”
"Thank you, Mrs. Zhou."
Liang Miaomiao thanked him and left, Zhou Feiyue put the lunch box on his mother's table, and then bent down and whispered a few words in Mrs. Zhou's ear. When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she said to him, "If you really like the Venerable Girl, treat her well, but don't force her to do what she doesn't want." ”
Zhou Feiyue's face instantly pulled up: "Mom, what do you think of me!" ”
Liang Miaomiao went to an intermediary company after handing over the house, and wanted to find a sunny shop, preferably in the commercial street, because there are more rich people in the commercial street.
She followed the people of the intermediary company to see several shops are not very satisfied, now the housing prices are rising, and the commercial street is on the most prosperous road in the city center, and the rent is more than 100,000 yuan a month.
She wants to be like a grocery store guy, doing business as soon as it opens during the day and sleeping in the front as soon as it closes at night. You don't have to run back and forth to work at home, and you save money on rent.
But the place where the agency took her to see it was either a downtown area full of people and people, or a shopping mall full of glass-walled shops, how could she live there?
I didn't fancy the house all day long, and the little sister who took her to see the house before getting off work couldn't help but ask: "Sister, I showed you the company's best resources, this is not good, it is not good, what kind of store do you want to open and tell me, I have a direction to grope and explore?" ”
"The shop I opened only takes on big business, and not everyone can come. I just wanted to find a high-end looking place to receive customers, and by the way, I stayed in it for the night. There must be access to wealthy people at all times, and there must be plenty of sunlight, and the larger the area that can be exposed to sunlight, the better. ”
"Then you said earlier, do you need to be so mysterious! I see that the people who sell high-end tea and high-end liquor have set up their shops in office buildings, and they are all white-collar workers who work there. ”
"This can be there."
"Then you come early tomorrow to choose the house, and then I will take you to see the house."
