Chapter Twenty-Four: The Little Lady of the Landlord
In the next half a day, Ye Xingxing asked more than a dozen families with houses for rent one after another, but they were all frightened away by the rent of thousands of federal coins every month.
Ye Xingxing's current net worth is less than 10,000 federal dollars, if it is calculated according to the rent of 1,000 yuan per month, then excluding the tuition fee, the remaining money is not enough for half a year's rent, and the heads of the households require the tenants to pay enough rent for one year first.
Ye Xingxing was very worried, couldn't he even rent a cheaper house in such a large medium-sized city?
"Young people, why don't you go to the old city in the northern suburbs, where the location is remote, and there are some old houses, if there is a spare house for rent, the rent must be much cheaper than here, the disadvantage is that the transportation is not very convenient......"
A kind landlady saw Ye Xingxing's frowning face and sighing, so she provided him with a message.
Ye Xingxing thanked the aunt, followed the route she indicated, and walked quickly towards the old town in the northern suburbs of Zhongdu.
The sun is setting, the sky is approaching dusk, it won't be long before night falls, Ye Xingxing thought to himself that if he couldn't find a suitable house, then he would have to go to a cheap hotel tonight.
The kind aunt was right, the location of the old city is indeed very remote, almost at the very edge of the city, but the environment here Ye Xingxing likes it very much, the ancient willows are shady, quiet and quiet, the buildings of the houses are some old-fashioned brick structures, and there are many sets of traditional courtyard houses.
Entering the old city, there are many houses on both sides of the bluestone paved streets with the words "house for rent" posted in front of the door, but Ye Xingxing asked four or five families, and the vacant houses have been rented out.
"No, in such a remote place, the house has also been rented out?Alas, it seems that there are many federal citizens who are as poor as me!"
Ye Xingxing hung his head and was a little discouraged, he walked to the gate of a courtyard house, and said in his heart: "God bless, I hope this family still has a spare house, as long as the rent is not too expensive, even if the house is a little bit closer, I will admit it!"
This courtyard is located in the south of the old city, in front of the gate lie two unrecognizable, can not find a little majestic stone lions, although the two thick doors are painted with new paint, but still can not hide the old style that has gone through the vicissitudes of time, the door on the left side of the door is pasted with a small note, on which is written "there is a room for rent in the courtyard" six small characters.
Ye Xingxing clasped his hands together, prayed secretly, and then walked to the closed door, grabbed the knocker and slapped it a few times.
"Who?"
A delicate and immature girl's voice came from the courtyard, followed by a trotting footsteps, and when the door of the courtyard "squeaked" open, a girl wearing a pink sundress appeared in front of Ye Xingxing.
What a Lori beautiful girl!
The girl has a lovely apple face, two natural blush on the delicate pink cheeks, like water rouge rendered on rice paper, large and smart eyes are clear and clear, dense and long eyelashes are slightly curled upward, two soft and thin lips are like dewy petals, jet-black hair is pulled into two delicate knots at the back of the head, leaving two long strands of hair hanging on both sides of the ears, as long as there is a trace of wind, the two strands of hair will flutter gently.
The little beauty's sundress is light and thin, and when the wind blows, it will cling to one side of the body, outlining the girl's delicate waist and hip curve, and it actually has a heart-warming charm.
If you only look at the face of the little beauty, it seems that she is only twelve or thirteen years old, but when you look at her figure again, the curves are exquisite, undulating, as if she has the demeanor of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, especially the two full and straight peaks on the chest, which are already spectacular.
Could this be the so-called "**" in the legend?
Ye Xingxing was a little sluggish for a moment, and he couldn't guess how old the little beauty in front of him was.
"Excuse me...... Are you okay?" Seeing the handsome boy in front of him knocking on the door and looking at himself in a daze, the little beauty blinked her eyes wide, released a kind smile, and the corners of her lips outlined a beautiful arc.
"Ahh......h I want to ask, is your house here rented?" Ye Xingxing came back to his senses and asked with anticipation.
"Do you want to rent a house......" The little beauty bit her lip, as if there was something unbearable, and after hesitating for a moment, she said softly: "Our family has a lot of spare houses, but ...... I'll tell you first, we had someone die here a week ago...... If you feel unlucky, go to another house. ”
"Ever died?" Ye Xingxing was stunned.
"Well, a tenant died of a sudden illness in the middle of the night. Alas......" The little beauty sighed and said quietly: "After this incident, other tenants may have thought that our family was unlucky, so they moved out one after another. Later, many people wanted to come to rent a house, and I told them about it, and the result was ...... As a result, they were reluctant to rent. Until now, our family's rented out houses have been vacant. ”
Ye Xingxing laughed and said: "When others encounter this kind of thing, they will try their best to hide it, but you actually took the initiative to tell others...... Those who come to rent a house will definitely feel awkward when they hear that someone has died here not long ago, and it is normal not to rent. ”
"But...... I don't want to tell them in advance, and I'm worried that they will blame me if they find out in the future......" The little beauty's brows furrowed, and she looked helpless.
"The Federation doesn't know that tens of millions of people are dying every day, can it be said that our planet is unlucky? Then let's just move to an alien planet to live!
"yes, I thought so too. So sometimes when I'm alone at home, I don't feel scared. The little beauty frowned, obviously much happier.
"Little sister, can I go in and take a look at the house?" Ye Xingxing's gaze passed over the little beauty and glanced into the courtyard a few times.
The courtyard of the courtyard is very large, planted with flowers and grass, there is a grape trellis against the wall in the southeast corner, and there is a stone table and stone pier below, which looks very quiet and elegant.
"Of course you can!" The little beauty nodded excitedly, opened the door wider, and said crisply: "You come in, if you are satisfied with the house, the rent can give you a little discount." ”
There are five houses on the east and west sides of the courtyard, the area of each house is about 20 square meters, divided into two compartments, one large and one small, the large guest bedroom outside is dual-purpose, and the small room inside is a bathroom, although the area is small, the facilities are very complete.
The style of the ten houses is exactly the same, and after seeing one of them, you basically don't need to look at the others.
"How is it?are you still satisfied with the house?" Seeing Ye Xingxing walking out of one of the houses, the little beauty asked with a smile.
"It's okay...... Ye Xingxing is actually very satisfied, the only thing he is worried about is the rent, he secretly estimated the rent price he can accept, and then asked: "Little sister, are you the landlord here?"
"My dad is out, I can take full responsibility for the affairs of the family!" said the little beauty seriously.
"So? ...... How do you calculate the rent of these houses?" Ye Xingxing asked with some apprehension.
"That's right, because of the remoteness of our house, the rent here is much cheaper than other places, and the rent for a room is only 5,000 federal dollars a year. In addition, the utility bills need to be borne by the tenants......" The little beauty introduced very skillfully, and finally secretly glanced at Ye Xingxing's face, and said: "If you really want to rent, I will charge you a thousand yuan less!
"4,000 yuan a year, an average of a little more than 300 per month, which is a little cheaper than I expected...... Well, yes! yes!" Ye Xingxing was full of joy, it seems that it shouldn't be a problem to rent a house tonight.
The rental houses that Ye Xingxing asked about before are much smaller in area than here, and the rent is much more expensive than here, and the cheapest one is 10,000 yuan a year.
But the problem now is that Ye Xingxing's body is less than 10,000 federal dollars, and the 5,000 yuan in the passbook will be kept as tuition, and he will never move, and if the remaining 4,000 yuan is all paid for rent, there will be nothing left on his body.
"Four thousand a year is indeed very cheap, but for me, a poor man who came out of a distant ravine, it is still a little expensive! Little sister, can you give me a discount, and give me a discount? Or rent me the house where you just died, I don't care if it is auspicious or unlucky, just be cheaper! Alas, poor man, there is no money!"
In front of this immature and innocent little beauty, Ye Xingxing felt that it was necessary to play the sad card, he had never felt that he was so short of money as now, as long as he could touch the heart of the little beauty, reduce the rent a little, and let him burst into tears on the spot.
"That's it......" The little beauty bit her lip, tilted her little head and thought for a while, then stretched out five fingers like green onions, "Okay, if you are willing to live in that house, I will give you another five hundred discounts! Three thousand five a year, no less, otherwise my father will scold me to death when he comes back!"
As soon as I opened my mouth, I got a discount of 500, and the little beauty was refreshing enough! Generous enough! However, could it be less?
"Originally, I had a lot of money with me, and I might still have a little left after paying my tuition fees and renting a house. But...... When I was at the station, the evil thief stole half of my money...... It's all my carelessness! I'm so useless! Damn it!" Ye Xingxing decided to continue the grief, and when he said this, his facial expression changed to grief and self-blame.
Seeing that the little beauty's eyes had revealed a little sympathy, he sighed heavily, and said with a bitter face: "I don't have much money left now, if I pay enough tuition, it won't be enough to give you rent, and if I give you enough rent, it's not enough to pay tuition...... Our family is already poor, and if my relatives knew that I had lost so much money, I don't know how sad and sad I would be. I...... I'm sorry for them......"
"It's been a whole day since I arrived in Midtown, and I haven't eaten since the money was stolen so much by thieves, and I haven't eaten until now to save a little money...... Listen, my stomach is still growling...... Hungry ......"
Ye Xingxing's performance was full of emotion, and even he admired himself a little, thinking to himself, why didn't I go to apply for the federal performing arts academy in the first place? Maybe there is also hope to become a superstar sought after and admired by the citizens of the Federation!
