Transmigrating to Book 50, others hoard rice, I hoard money

Zhou Rong was tempted by the "interesting" life and agreed to Xu Man.

But there is one request: she cannot tell anyone about her identity as a bodyguard. Otherwise, if her family finds out, they will definitely strongly object.

Xu Man said: "I'm not stupid. Telling others that you are my bodyguard will make them more alert, right? I will just tell others that you are my assistant."

Zhou Rong: "Okay, let's do as you say. I need to go back to my hometown to handle the divorce procedures, pick up the children, and settle down in a new home. It will take a week. Wait until I finish my personal affairs, then go back to work, okay?"

Xu Man: "Sure, what are your requirements for the house? I have an empty house. If you think it's suitable, I can rent or sell it."

Zhou Rong was delighted: "Really? Can you take me to see it?"

Xu Man: "No problem, the house is nearby, just two alleys away.

I came to visit a friend and ran into Tian Dashun and his son while collecting rent. I rarely come here on weekdays. Meeting you today is fate."

Zhou Rong said with a smile: "It's fate, I have never seen a woman prettier than Sister Man."

Zhou Rong's compliment came from the bottom of his heart. Xu Man gave people the feeling of being noble and elegant. The exaggerated mink coat did not look tacky at all on her. Instead, it made her delicate facial features more outstanding, exuding the intelligence of a mature woman.

If she were a man, she would definitely try every means to pursue Xu Man.

Xu Man glanced at Zhou Rong and said coquettishly, "You are so smooth-talking! You are so good at coaxing people. It's really a loss for your man to divorce you."

Zhou Rong: "He doesn't think so. Instead, he regrets marrying me and says that if we hadn't gotten married, he would have been very successful."

Xu Man sighed and said, "When a marriage is not going well, many people will only blame the woman for not doing a good job, and the man is not wrong. There is no fairness to women in this world. If you want to live a good life, you can only struggle to find a way out among the thorns."

Zhou Rong: "That's right. On the other hand, if you think about it the other way around, you can hold your own destiny in your own hands. Even if you get yourself bruised while moving forward, you'll still be happy."

Xu Man nodded in approval: "You want a divorce, do your parents agree?"

Zhou Rong: "At first, I disagreed because I was worried that I couldn't support three children by myself. It took me a long time to persuade him.

I told them that the marriage between me and the child's father was broken and could not be repaired.

In the words of our rural area, a cut rake can't be squeezed together, and a split bamboo stump can't be closed. Forcing them to live together will only make the conflict worse and even end up with bloodshed. It's better to separate, and they reluctantly accepted it. "

Xu Man: "That's true. Women are also human beings. They have hands. They can still live without men. Maybe they can live a better life."

Zhou Rong agreed with this point of view, and the two began to discuss how women can be independent, and soon arrived at the house that Xu Man mentioned.

There was a small sign hanging on the side wall of the gate, which read No. 27 Chang'anli.

Xu Man took out a bunch of keys from her bag, found one of them, and opened the door.

There is a patio at the entrance, and the yard is about 20 square meters. After crossing the yard, you will reach the living room, which is furnished with two wooden single sofas, a small coffee table, a square table, and six armchairs.

There is a bedroom behind the living room, which is furnished with a bamboo bed, a wooden wardrobe and two small chairs.

Opposite the bedroom is the stairwell and a small kitchen.

There is a wood-burning stove and a small stove burning honeycomb coal in the kitchen, and all the pots, pans, and utensils are available.

There are three rooms on the second floor, which are equipped with brown beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs and benches. One of the rooms is separated into a small study with a few books on the bookshelf.

The whole house looks clean and tidy, and every room has a window. The only drawback is that there is no toilet and running water. You need to go to the public toilet at the end of the alley to use the toilet, and you need to buy water from the water room.

But this place is independent and can protect privacy.

Zhou Rong was very satisfied with this alone.

I passed by some buildings just now. Because there were many residents in them, there was not enough space to dry clothes. So everyone pulled one or two ropes or set up a few bamboo poles between the two houses facing each other to dry their clothes.

Underwear was hung there blatantly, some of them dripping water because they were not wrung out when hung to dry. Once it dripped onto passers-by, they would surely be cursed.

Zhou Rong didn't want to go through that.

"How much is the rent for this house?"

Xu Man said: "Not counting the living room and kitchen, there are a total of four rooms upstairs and downstairs. Previously, a university teacher's family lived here. He was transferred to Kyoto University a few years ago, and the house became vacant.

This house was my dowry. Several families have lived in it. In order to keep the house clean, I will not rent it to those who don't care about hygiene. I will not rent it in small amounts, but only in its entirety.

The furniture in the room, including the palm bed, wardrobe, table, chairs and benches, were all brought from home or purchased by me for the convenience of renting out the room.

The rest were purchased by the tenants and were not taken away when they moved. In order to make life more convenient for the next tenant, I did not throw away any of them as long as they were intact.

If you move in, you can use everything in the room. If the furniture is broken, you need to repair it or buy a replacement. As for other small items, it's okay if they break.

I will make a list for you, clearly stating which items are damaged and need compensation, and which are not needed.

The rent for the entire house is 6 yuan per month, and you need to pay an extra month's rent as a deposit.

If you don't rent it one day, I will come to check and make sure the house and furniture are not damaged, and I will return your deposit in full."

Zhou Rong asked curiously: "If I buy it, how much will it cost?"

Xu Man said: "If this house is for sale, I will not accept paper money, only gold and silver, 200 silver dollars or two small yellow croakers."

The price is not expensive, but as a newly divorced woman with three children, buying such a nice house as soon as I arrived in Jiangcheng would easily make people hate me.

Especially Yang Jinlin, who would be very angry when he later discovered that the money in the box had turned into paper money that could only be used in the underworld.

If I find myself buying a house at this time, people will definitely think that I have done something fishy, ​​and they will keep pestering me like a mad dog. How tiring it will be.

Another point is that Zhou Rong was worried that during the ten-year special period, someone would forcibly take her house away under the banner of breaking up private ownership and establishing public ownership and eliminating private property.

How could a powerless person like her fight against the times?

If she dared to resist, she would be put on a high hat for no apparent reason.

Once her identity is determined, she will have no chance of having a good life.

In order not to cause trouble for himself, Zhou Rong could only shake his head regretfully: "Although the house is good, it is too expensive. It is not something a poor person like me can dream of. I have never seen small yellow croakers in my life, only salted fish."

Xu Man: “…”
