Chapter 73： Take advantage of the situation

“A thousand?” Xiang Chuman frowned and said, “That’s too much.”

The fat woman snorted, "Is it too expensive? Then move out when the expiration date is due. Remember, clean up, restore all the places you have touched to their original state, and repair all broken electrical appliances. Otherwise I will not refund your deposit.”

She has already inquired about it, and there is no vacant house in the same community. Even if there is one, it is only a flat, and the family can only rent her house.

Xiang Chuman was helpless and frowned: "Okay, today is June 21st. There are still a few days before the end of the month. Let me think about it."

"OK!"

Xiang Chuman closed the door, glanced at the house in front of him, and sighed.

She took out her mobile phone and searched for houses in the same community on the rental website, but all of them only had one apartment, or shared houses with only single rooms.

The situation is the same in nearby communities.

Qiao Ningxun wondered: "Auntie, if she doesn't want to rent, then she can't rent. You can always find a house elsewhere. And haven't you and your fourth uncle already mortgaged a house? Hasn't the developer handed over the house yet?"

Xiang Chuman returned to the sofa and sat down, explaining: "I don't want to move because it's very close to the schools and cram schools of my two children and where their dad works. I work independently at home." The design is the same wherever I live, but I think it will be difficult to find a house so close in the future.”

"As for the mortgage house, it has been handed over, but the money for the renovation was not enough. With the mortgage, the rent of this house, plus raising two children, we have had enough hardships. You and I, the four of us, My uncle doesn’t want to go into debt and put more pressure on himself.”

“I do have some money on hand now, but that’s for Nian Yi. Besides, even if we renovate the house now, it will take some time, plus drying, it will take at least a year before we can move in. We still have to rent a house.”

The air became quiet for a moment.

Seeing the worry on the second sister's face, Xiang Chuman cheered up and hurriedly said: "My child is on summer vacation. I have to take care of two children recently, so it is impossible to find a house. At the worst, I will agree to the landlady's request, but in the future It’s time to live a little more frugally.”

Qiao Ningxun thought of the sinister expression on the fat woman's face just now, raised her eyebrows and said: "Aunt, people's hearts are unpredictable. The landlord didn't tell me sooner or later, but you guys came over to tell me after you came back from the hospital. I think she wants you to do it now. I was taking care of the patients and had no intention of looking for a house, so I came to take advantage of the situation.”

Xiang Chuman and Qiao Shulan were stunned at the same time. This was indeed a possibility.

Qiao Ningxun added: "Auntie, you can call the landlord right away. You can try to say yes. She will definitely raise the price again. It's hard for you to move now."

Xiang Chuman thought about it for a moment, then made the call and turned on the speakerphone.

Xiang Chuman: "Landlady, I've thought about it and I can agree."

Landlord: "You agreed, but I regret it. I just asked my friends in the community and they all said that my increase of 1,000 yuan was too little. I should have increased it to 2,000 yuan."

Xiang Chuman and Qiao Shulan looked at Qiao Ningxun in shock at the same time.

Qiao Ningxun spread her hands helplessly, looking like she knew what was going on.

Xiang Chuman: "The sudden increase of two thousand is really too much. I have to think about it and get back to you when I make a decision."

Landlord: "Give me an answer as soon as possible. The location of this community is very good. I will raise the price if it is too late."

Xiang Chuman hung up the phone and looked at her niece in astonishment, "Ningxun, you are so awesome, I really got you right." Qiao Ningxun said seriously: "Auntie, what are you going to do now?"

Xiang Chuman said: "It is impossible for me to agree to an increase of two thousand. I will have to stop working temporarily and look for another house. But the two children will have to stay at home by themselves."

"No." Qiao Shulan said, "It's too dangerous to leave two children at home. Why don't I take care of them while you go find a house."

Xiang Chuman said: "That would be too troublesome for you, and you can't hide it from your parents."

Qiao Ningxun suddenly said: "How about this, let my cousin and cousin go back to Daguo Village to live in our house. Anyway, my cousin is discharged from the hospital now. When the time comes, we will say that she accidentally fell and the old man saw that her wound has healed. , I definitely won’t be too worried.”

“Summer vacation is about to begin, and I’ll be at home every day. Even if my aunt can’t find a house for a while, she can still live in Daguo Village after the house expires. Anyway, given my cousin’s current situation, she won’t go to dance school for the time being.”

"As for the fourth uncle, it would be fine if he can find a house before the expiration. If he can't find it, let him live in a dormitory temporarily. Of course, if he doesn't mind going back and forth between the city and the village every day, he can also go home every day. "

 Qiao Shulan somewhat disagreed, "The conditions in the countryside are difficult. These two children have grown up in the city. I don't know if they can get used to it."

Qiao Ningxun raised his eyebrows and remained silent for the time being.

She did not tell her mother that her home had been remodeled.

When she goes back, give her mother a surprise.

Xiang Chuman looked at the two children, "Nianyi, Nianhe, do you miss your grandparents? Do you want to go back to your hometown to see them?"

The two children nodded at the same time: "I think."

Xiang Chuman thought about it for a while and nodded: "Ningxun, just do as you say. When their father comes back, I will convince him. After we have discussed it, we will go back."

Qiao Ningxun nodded: "Okay."

When she returns to the countryside, her two children will be able to eat the food she used to induce birth every day. Their bodies will definitely recover faster, they will grow better, and they will be smarter.

Since Qiao Nianyi had just been discharged from the hospital and needed to rest, Qiao Ningxun and her mother didn't stay long, and left Xiang Chuman's house after talking for a while.

The landlord just now lives opposite Xiang Chuman's house.

She has two houses, door to door.

The fat woman saw Qiao Ningxun and her mother leaving in the cat's eye, and whispered to her man, "Do you think Qiao Jianru and his wife will agree?"

The man snorted, "I'll definitely agree. I've found out everything. They rented our house here just because of its good location. At this time, there are no other vacancies in our community, and their daughter has just been discharged from the hospital, so they definitely don't have time." We are looking for a house. The price increase is just right at this time. From now on, we can earn two thousand more every month, which is enough for us to make a living every day.”

The fat woman hesitated a little: "Are we going too far? I always feel like I'm taking advantage of someone else's child who has just been discharged from the hospital."

The man didn't take it seriously and said: "In this world, good people cannot survive. Put away your useless Bodhisattva heart. Two thousand more a month and twenty-four thousand a year. We can also support our children in the future."
