Then go back and ask the delay of the work is big, the horizontal vertical restaurant must be located in the most prosperous commercial street, gentle and memorable, walking on the road, all the way to pay attention to see if there are vacant rooms for rent around. But as she walked, those complicated alleys made her dizzy, and she seemed to be a little lost, but fortunately, when she went back and forth three times in a secluded alley, she finally saw a door hidden in the corner, and a red note for rent from Yoshiya was pasted.

Gentle and happy, she weighed the ten taels of silver left after paying off the debt in her arms, and stepped forward with confidence and knocked on the door. As a result, after waiting for a long time, no one inside came out to open the door, but the door next door was opened with a "creak", and a wrinkled old face poked out from inside.

It turned out that there was an old widow who had only one son, but she died of illness two years ago, so she left this house for her. The old widow did not have much savings, and it was too big to live in this house alone, so she built a wall in the middle of the courtyard, and reopened a door on the outer wall of the alley, dividing the house in half, half of which she kept for her own use, and the other half planned to rent out to collect some rent money, so that she could live in it.

Just look at the single wooden door outside, gentle feel that this house is very small, when the old widow opened the door to take a look, found that the place inside is quite wide, there is a small courtyard overgrown with weeds, three rooms on the ground floor, one bright and two dark, there is a small kitchen that can make a fire to cook, and the upper floor is a small attic, which can be used to store sundries, and a family of three lives in it, which is very comfortable. But the old widow's rent was too high, 500 yuan a month, and she was gentle and had no time to grind the price with her, so she asked herself if she could put more people in the half of the house where she lived alone if she rented her house, as long as there was a place to sleep.

"Okay!" The old widow blinked, pouted and said, "There are many people who live, and I also have a person to take care of, so that no one will know if I get a sudden illness and die in the house!" It's just ...... rental."

"How much?" Xiaohuan is not safe to live with herself, so she has been thinking about renting two houses and living separately from Xiaohuan, but in this way, there will be more money for the monthly fee, not to mention that the two vacant houses near are not easy to find, if you live far away, not only is it inconvenient, but she is not at ease, if you can solve this problem with a little more money at this moment, whether from the perspective of saving money or from the perspective of convenience and safety, it is not a bad plan.

The old widow didn't know if her eyes were not good, and she had a habit of blinking when she spoke, she thought for a long time, winked at the gentleness and said, "Add two hundred dollars!" ”

"Robbery!" Gentleness almost jumped up, live one more person, does it cost 200 yuan to add a bed? It has been used to buy baked cakes for more than half a month, but if she can't bear it, she still patiently asked, "It's cheaper, can you add a hundred yuan?" ”

The old widow didn't speak, just stared at her, and after a while, she suddenly said, "Girl, you haven't married yet, have you?" How do you dress up as a woman? ”

Wen Rou was startled, just now I suspected that her eyes were not good, but now I think she is even more powerful than Sun Wukong's fiery eyes, and she can see whether she is married or not? She wanted to ask how the old widow could see that she was not married, but just by asking such a question, wouldn't she not admit herself again? So he only stared at her, and was speechless for a long time.

"Look, the face is not open!" The old widow blinked again.

Gentleness is a defeat to her! Suddenly I felt that renting the house of this shrewd old widow and being a close neighbor with her did not seem to be a wise thing, but she was in a hurry to find Xiaohuan, and after finding it, she couldn't lead her around the street, right? Therefore, it is very necessary to rent a place to settle in advance, it is rare to come here, the alley is secluded, it should not be too far from the street, and then to find such a place, I don't know how much time it will take, she thought about it for a while, and finally gritted her teeth and said: "Okay! Mother-in-law, I don't pay back the price you offered, but I rent here to be quiet, I don't like to hear the gossip of the neighbors, mother-in-law, you ...... in the future."

Before the gentle words were finished, the old widow blinked and answered: "The old woman is old, dazzling and deaf, and there are few teeth left in her mouth, so she keeps it for dinner, how can she have time to chew her tongue everywhere?" ”

That's it! Gentlely, the heart was slightly let go, originally wanted to give more money, first plugged the old widow's mouth, anyway, she rented here to live temporarily, and when she understood and adapted to the outside world, she would inquire about Sister-in-law Liu's situation, and after discussing with Xiaohuan, she would definitely have to find a place to move. The world is big, why should you nest alone in this city and worry about it all day long?

But she had never rented a house in ancient times, and she didn't know what procedures she needed to go through, so when she really decided, she hesitated again and asked the old widow, "Do you still need to find someone to write a document?" ”

The old widow looked at her and just smiled ambiguously, laughing so hard that she was almost crazy, and she didn't know what was wrong with her body, and finally before she could ask, the old widow spoke, "Why do you need to bother so much?" Besides, there are few people who live in the neighborhood, and there are few who can read, and it costs more money to find a writer on the street, you only need to live for a month, pay a month's rent, and I will say hello to the mayor, so that you can pay the official money in the future, and this is it! ”

It's as simple as that? Wen Rou breathed a sigh of relief, but then remembered what the old widow said about paying official money, what did this mean? She pondered for a while, and finally it dawned on her, probably referring to the payment of taxes. There is no urgency in this matter, and I will talk about it after slowly observing and inquiring about it later.

The old widow was in a trance when she saw that she was in a trance, and she was about to leave, but she couldn't help but be anxious, and shouted behind her, "Money, you haven't given money yet!" ”

"What money? Didn't you say you would pay it after a month's stay? Gentleness paused and turned back.

"That's the case, but you'll have to pay me a little bit of a fixed fee!" The old widow hurriedly said, "Otherwise, if you go and don't come back, or stay for two days and sneak away, who will I ask for money?" ”

Sure enough, it's hard to move an inch without money! Gentle and wry smile: "How much?" ”

"Half a month's rent!" The old widow calculated in her heart, spread out a rough old hand and said, "Three hundred and fifty dollars!" ”

Gentle is not stupid, what if this old woman takes her money and sublets it to someone else? Therefore, he also spread his hands and said: "Pay the money with one hand, hand over the keys with the other!" "It costs a lot of money to get a new lock on the door!

The old widow winked at her, and muttered, "The little girl is shrewd! With that, she untied a key tied to the waistband of her trousers and threw it into Gentle's hand, who took out all the copper coins left on her body and stuffed them into her hand.

"Hey, why isn't it enough for a hundred dollars!" The old widow took her hand and felt that the weight was wrong, and counted it for a long time, only to find that she had a gentle stink, and immediately jumped up and was about to curse.

Wen Wen ran a little farther away with the key at this moment, and when she heard her scolding behind her, she only stuck out her tongue and turned around and said, "The money you bring is not enough, I will come back to make it up to you later!" ”
