Chapter 723: Temporarily Renting a Yard
Seeing that they were chatting happily, Bai Yunxi didn't bother them, turned around and left the shop, preparing to take a stroll on the street.
When passing by an alley, I saw several people arguing. The more excited one was an old lady. She was tugging on the man's sleeve with an anxious look on her face.
"We agreed to rent it for half a year, and it's only been a little over a month. Why are we leaving?"
"Aunt Hu, I really have something urgent to do and I have to leave. Otherwise, how could I easily cancel the lease?"
"But we agreed on a half-year lease, but I only collected one month's rent and vacated the yard. Where do you want me to find a tenant to pay for it?"
The old lady said, her eyes were red,
"The time wasted in the middle is money. You can't leave so quietly and let my wife suffer losses."
"Why are you so unreasonable, mother-in-law? As I said just now, we have to leave because of urgent matters, and it's not like we don't want to rent on purpose. Besides, after we leave, you can find other tenants. How can you still hold people back and prevent them from leaving? Can’t do it?”
"It's not that I'm messing around. That's not how things work. We agreed to rent for half a year. If you want to leave after four or five months, I won't say anything. But you two have only paid one month's rent. If you say you don't want to rent, you can't." No more renting. Just give it up. If you can’t find a tenant, it will be me who will lose.”
"You bitch, how many days have we rented, how many days have we paid, and we haven't defaulted on a penny. If you keep holding on to people, we will have to go to court. I have never seen you so greedy. Mother-in-law.”
When she heard that the other party wanted to report to the official, the old lady's momentum became lower, but she was still very angry.
"You young people, why don't you keep your word? If you knew you wouldn't live long, you would have informed me earlier so that I could find a tenant in advance. You lied to me and said I wanted to rent for half a year, but you didn't abide by the agreement."
Those two people may also know that they are in the wrong. Seeing Mrs. Hu's unyielding attitude, they softened their tone and said,
"Aunt Hu, we are really in an emergency, otherwise we wouldn't have to cancel the rent in a hurry. Let's do this, we will pay you five more days, and you can find another tenant. If you pay more, it will be gone."
"Brother, don't be familiar with this kind of person. She is just greedy and wants more money."
Seeing the two of them throwing down their coins and walking away, Mrs. Hu slapped her thigh angrily.
"What a sin, you said it well, why did you change your mind? How much money will I have to lose all of a sudden?"
Bai Yunxi stood at the entrance of the alley, watching the two people walk away angrily, then turned and walked into the alley.
During this period, in addition to the fear of things going wrong when renting a large house, you need to find an intermediary to write the lease agreement, and if you are more cautious, return it to the government office for filing. All these procedures require a security deposit. Ordinary people rent farmhouses, even if they spend a lot of money. Most of them are verbal agreements with no guarantee.
Watching Mrs. Hu pick up the coins one by one from the ground, she was still complaining. Next to her, stood an eight or nine-year-old boy with a small hairdo on his hair.
The child looked unhealthy at first glance, his face was yellow and dull, and he didn't look good.
"I would like to ask this old sister, what is the house that the two people rented out just now? Can I see it?"
Suddenly she heard someone asking about renting a house. Mrs. Hu raised her head. When she saw Baiyunxi in front of her, she was stunned for a moment. She immediately patted the dirt on her body with a smile on her face.
"Sister, do you want to rent a yard? Let me tell you, my yard is clean and tidy, with three main rooms and two side rooms, a kitchen outside, and a jujube tree in the yard. The feng shui is great."
"Everyone who rents here has a smooth sailing. If I hadn't wanted to rent out the yard and get some money for my grandson's medical treatment, I would have been reluctant to move out."
Listening to Mrs. Hu's sudden change of attitude, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. This person had a good attitude and changed his face quickly enough.
Like the one just now, I guess I didn’t meet him once or twice.
Looking at the embarrassed boy next to him, Bai Yunxi suppressed a smile and nodded.
"That's the case, sister, take me to have a look. If possible, I would like to rent it for two months."
"Come with me. The third house in front is my yard. It's very clean..."
With that said, the old lady trotted over to open the door, not forgetting to greet her grandson who was standing by the wall.
"Gou, what are you doing in a daze? Come back quickly."
Bai Yunxi followed her into the yard and looked around. As she said, the yard was neatly tidied up.
There is a small gatehouse, three main rooms, two side rooms, and a kitchen outside. In the middle is a jujube tree of unknown age, with green jujubes already hanging on it.
"I wonder what the monthly rent for this yard is, sister? If it's suitable, I'll think about it."
Listening to Baiyunxi's tone, Mrs. Hu looked Baiyunxi up and down.
"Sister, I saw it just now. My yard is temporarily vacant. The monthly rent is supposed to be 200 cents. If you rent it, I will give you 150 cents, which will save me the time of looking for a tenant. ”
Listening to her narration, Baiyunxi thought about it in his mind and found that the price was quite reasonable.
She had just seen the furnishings in the house, and she only needed to buy bedding to move in.
Seeing Bai Yunxi's hesitation, Mrs. Hu felt anxious.
"Don't worry, sister, the rent I want is guaranteed to be the lowest price. This is my family's ancestral home. In order to treat my grandson's illness, my son and daughter-in-law went into the mountains to collect medicine and accidentally fell off a cliff, leaving us, grandfather and grandson, to depend on each other. If not, There is no way to rent out the ancestral home like this.”
As she spoke, Mrs. Hu wiped her eyes with her sleeve, and the little dog snuggled next to her grandma, looking timidly at Baiyun Xi.
Looking at the pitiful grandfather and grandson, Bai Yunxi reluctantly raised the corner of his mouth. Just now he said that his family had good feng shui, but two died, one got sick, and the remaining one was still so old.
The old, weak, sick and disabled all were taken over by her family.
"Okay... I'll rent it. "
Thinking of the sudden situation of the two people just now, Bai Yunxi used his sleeve pocket to take out two pieces of paper from the locker.
"You know where I can write letters? Let's write a lease agreement to avoid any mistakes."
When Mrs. Hu heard this, she was stunned for a moment and agreed, "Let's go to the grocery store on the street. There is a letter writer there. Each letter costs two cents. I will pay for it."
Listening to her tone, Bai Yunxi raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything. The two of them walked to the grocery store and had someone write a simple lease agreement in two copies. rent.
"Oh, Sister Bai, we are really destined. If anything happens in the future, just ask me. There is nothing about our county that I don't know."
When Mrs. Hu received the rent, the folds on her face were twisted into chrysanthemums, and she smiled brightly.
