The all-round housekeeper is a stick

"My eldest daughter-in-law's family has a small yard nearby that they're renting out, but we'll have to wait until the end of this month to see if they want to renew the lease before we can find out if we can rent it."

After Chen Lan rode the tricycle back home, in addition to paying attention to school matters, she was also very concerned about the small courtyard that Lin Mumu wanted to rent.

In addition to asking about a small courtyard at the eldest daughter-in-law's house, I also asked about another courtyard.

"There's another courtyard, but it's bigger. There are four rooms in the house, a well in the courtyard, and running water. The rent is 18 yuan a month."

Chen Lan prefers the house of her eldest daughter-in-law. After all, it is better to keep the wealth within the family.

But there is an uncertainty in their house: the tenant has not decided whether to continue renting.

“Which one is closer to the school and has simpler neighbors?”

Lin Mumu is more concerned about this.

"The one closest to the school is the one with my eldest daughter-in-law. But because it's close to the school, there's not only an elementary school but also a middle school nearby, so there are more tenants and the neighborhood is a bit more complicated..."

Chen Lan did not speak favorably of her eldest daughter-in-law's house just because she was partial to it. Instead, she spoke the truth.

"The one farther from the school is a little closer to my son's auto repair shop and the scrap yard where your uncle Xi works."

Although the location is not that busy, it is still some distance away from the school. It takes about 10 minutes to ride a bike to school.

Chen Lan told Lin Mumu the details of the two houses.

Lin Mumu was interested in the second set, the bigger one.

Not to mention other issues, Chen Lan's eldest daughter-in-law's behavior, just the fact that Lin Mumu is about to cooperate with Chen Lan's youngest son, makes it unsuitable for her to find such a house for herself.

A house that may be monitored at any time.

"Are you selling the larger set?"

Chen Lan shook her head. "They said it's for rent only, not for sale. Their youngest son is going to college this year. They plan to keep the house until their son graduates and finds a partner, and use it as a wedding house."

The monthly rent is used to save money for their son's wedding, so the cheapest rent can only be 18 yuan.

"What's the longest rental period?"

Lin Mumu calculated his time in his mind.

Primary school is a five-year program, and I will be able to graduate next year.

Junior high school and high school are both three years long, so the maximum length of time she needs to study is four years. This means she will have to rent the apartment for a maximum of five years.

Even if junior high and high schools have the ability to graduate in one year, it will still take three years.

Math, physics, and chemistry were a bit difficult for her. She might be able to graduate from junior high in one year if she tried hard, but high school was unlikely.

The minimum time required is 4 years.

The only way is to get a guarantee that you can rent for a few more years to avoid having to move around all the time.

"The shortest is two years, and the longest is no more than five years. Their son graduated from college in four years. If he comes back after graduation and has a stable job, he will get married."

The time between stable work and marriage can be as short as a year. That's why Chen Lan mentioned five years, which is also the time the other party mentioned.

Lin Mumu was quite satisfied with this timeframe; after all, the minimum requirement was two years. After four or five months of wandering around, she really wanted to settle down for a while.

So Lin Mumu asked Chen Lan to take her to have a look. It happened to be very close to the scrap yard and Baichuan repair shop, so it would not delay the discussion.

Chen Lan knew that Lin Mumu was a very opinionated person, so when she heard that she wanted to see it, she took her to see it.

It just so happened that the family lived not far away, so we could ask the owner to open the door.

Lin Mumu was quite satisfied with this yard.

Although there is not much furniture inside, the place is quiet and clean.

All of Lin Mumu’s daily necessities are in the system backpack. When the time comes, he can just buy a bed and a cabinet.

If you can’t move large items, it’s better to buy them outside.

Lin Mumu originally wanted to make a deal with the other party, but Chen Lan interrupted her.

I just asked someone to help me with the admission procedures, so I have to give them a little face.

So Lin Mumu didn't make a decision immediately, but let Chen Lan think about it.

After leaving the courtyard, Chen Lan took Lin Mumu's hand and said, "My son wants to cooperate with you. If you are willing to cooperate after your discussion, we will rent you the house. So don't worry."

Lin Mumu nodded, thinking that if she discussed cooperation later, she would also bring up the issue of the house.

I hope to continue the same cooperative style as Yi Changshan and others.
