Landlady who likes to hoard land

Seeing that his three younger sisters all agreed, Wang Chenggong thought about it and felt that what they said made a lot of sense, so he also agreed.

"Okay, then let's rent a place for Mom. She won't be able to leave the hospital anytime soon. I'll look for one after the snow stops."

"You don't need to look for it yourself. I've looked at a few apartments online these past few days. Once the snow stops, I'll arrange to meet the landlord to take a look. I'll let you know when I've found one."

Wang Chengyu was very happy. She had already found several rental apartments and was just waiting for her brother's permission to go see them.

"Then let me know when you've decided, and find out how much the rent is. I'll transfer it to you then."

"No need, it's only a six-month rental. We'll rent a smaller place, it won't cost much, I'll cover it. You should save up and build a house back in your hometown!"

Wang Chengyu planned to tell Wang Chenggong about her divorce after she received the divorce certificate.

It will be much easier for her to spend money then.

"We'll see when the time comes. The factory is doing well lately, and I was planning to start building the house next spring anyway."

After some discussion, the four siblings decided that Wang Chengyu and Wang Chengqing would stay at the hospital, while Wang Chenggong and Wang Chenghua would go back first.

"By the way, Director Zhu just tried to give me the red envelope back. No matter how I tried to give it to her, she wouldn't accept it. I guess she kept it to put our minds at ease. Now that the surgery is over, she's returning it to us, not a penny less!"

Wang Chenggong suddenly remembered this matter, took out the envelope containing money from his pocket, and showed it to the three sisters.

Wang Chengyu was stunned, surprised that Director Zhu would do something like this. Director Zhu was so considerate of the patient.

"If she doesn't want to accept it, then she doesn't have to. I'll just exchange some farm produce like free-range eggs from home as a token of my appreciation. She should accept those."

Since Director Zhu wouldn't accept it, they would have to send something else instead; they had to show their appreciation.

"Okay, I'll have Dad go and find some things when I get home. Chenghua and I are heading back now. Call me if you need anything!"

"Chenghua, let's go back first."

Wang Chenggong is quite busy at his factory; his most important task at this stage is to make money.

Only when you have money can you build a house quickly, make your family more comfortable, and afford medical treatment when your family members are sick.

"Eldest sister, second sister, I'm going back with my brother."

Wang Chenghua went back with Wang Chenggong.

That afternoon, the snow stopped. Wang Chengyu asked Wang Chengqing to stay at the hospital while she arranged to visit several landlords' properties one by one.

After careful consideration, Wang Chengyu finally chose a second-floor apartment in a residential complex adjacent to the hospital. Although the buildings in this complex were relatively old and did not have elevators, it was a staff quarters for a certain work unit, so the green areas were large and the complex was relatively clean.

This residential complex consists of multi-story buildings with complete supporting facilities. There are several clinics and supermarkets within the complex.

The park is right outside the east gate of the community, and the farmers' market is right outside the south gate, which is very convenient.

About one-third of the houses in this community are rented out, and the remaining two-thirds are occupied by older middle-aged and elderly people. Most of the younger people think the community is too old and have gone out to buy new houses to live in.

The landlord has been renting out this apartment for a long time. There is a high school two blocks away from the north gate of the community. It is one of the top high schools in the city, and parents often rent apartments here to accompany their children to study.

The apartment that Wang Chengyu had her eye on was previously rented by a parent who stayed there during the summer to accompany their child to school.

Originally, the parent paid a year's rent, but after living there for a few months, they felt that the neighborhood was very comfortable and convenient, so they simply bought an apartment in the same neighborhood for themselves.

The landlord was helpless because the house was bought there and the tenant wanted to terminate the lease here. The house was easier to rent in the summer, when many parents of students who had been admitted to the high school near their community would come to rent the house.

At this time of year, with the Lunar New Year approaching, it's not easy to rent out a house.

It just so happens that Wang Chengyu came to rent a house. After renting for half a year, it will be just in time for the following summer, so as not to delay the landlord from renting it out.

Wang Chengyu also explained to the landlord that her mother was sick, which is why she came to rent the room. She was afraid that some landlords would be superstitious, so she explained the situation in advance to avoid any trouble in the future.

The landlady didn't mind. She saw that Wang Chengyu was dressed neatly and was renting a room for her sick mother. She thought that such a filial person would not ruin her house.

Both parties were quite satisfied, and the contract was signed that afternoon. Wang Chengyu paid 8,000 yuan, half a year's rent, in one lump sum. The landlord handed the keys to Wang Chengyu and then left.

The rent for this apartment is 1,000 yuan per month, and the extra 2,000 yuan is for heating, which is borne by the tenant.

The apartment has two bedrooms and two living rooms. The landlord renovated it in the spring for rental purposes. It is simple and clean, and the previous tenants added a few pieces of furniture.

The previous tenant also felt bad about suddenly moving out, so he left the newly purchased furniture behind and didn't take it with him.

Wang Chengyu inspected it and was very satisfied. It had all the basic large items, such as a sofa, TV, and water heater. As for smaller items like pots and pans, he could add them gradually if needed.

My mother will definitely stay in the hospital for a while after this surgery, which will give her enough time to settle down the house.

I took a video of the room and sent it to Wang Chenggong, and also gave a brief introduction to the neighborhood where the house is located.

Wang Chenggong thought it was a good idea. He transferred the money to Wang Chengyu, but Wang Chengyu refused to accept it.

Back in the ward, while Wang's mother was chatting with Wang Chengqing, Wang Chengyu told them about the house again.

"Didn't we tell you not to rent a place? Why are you spending that money? You should cancel the rental right away. It's so much more comfortable to live at home."

Wang's mother objected, saying that her own illness had already cost her children a lot of money, and she didn't want them to spend any more.

"Mom, let's stay here. It's so cold, and it's inconvenient for my brother to pick you up and drop you off. Look how thick the snow is outside. Can you bear to let your son drive you back and forth? It's so dangerous. He's so busy every day, and he even has to deliver goods himself. Don't you feel sorry for him?"

Wang Chengyu knew her mother doted on her brother the most, so if she brought up Wang Chenggong, her mother would most likely agree.

As expected, Wang's mother fell silent. She was still somewhat hesitant. Wang Chengqing tried to persuade her on behalf of his sister.

“Mom, you won’t be able to do housework for a while after you’re discharged from the hospital. If we want to take care of you, we won’t have anywhere to stay. Chenghua has been sharing a bed with you every day with the child, not just for a few days. Just make do.”

"You'll need to undergo several more rounds of chemotherapy. Are you going to stay here like this forever?"

You're weak after surgery and easily catch a cold. It's so cold at home, it's even harder to prevent it. There's heating here, which will make you more comfortable. You need to stay healthy to continue with your chemotherapy!

Wang Chengyu understood what his mother was thinking; she felt sorry for her son and two grandsons.

Wang's mother loved her children very much, and she also loved her daughter very much. It is said that the five fingers are not all the same length, but Wang's mother loved her son and grandson the most.

She was thinking that if she stayed at home, her daughters would definitely not have the heart to leave her alone at home. If they stayed at home to take care of her, they would not only take care of her, but would definitely cook for the whole family.

This way, her son and Mr. Wang will have an easier time, and her daughter-in-law and grandson will be able to have a hot meal when they come back.
