C37 (1/2)

This grandpa was really interesting, why didn't he enter the house?

I was a little puzzled and walked out of the hall to the courtyard. At this moment, the old man was smoking in the courtyard, and when he saw me coming out, his face was full of smiles. He immediately asked, ”Young man, did you see it? What do you think?”

I pretended to be reserved as I nodded. ”The house looks alright, but it's just that the house is a bit shabby. It doesn't have any furniture or appliances. It doesn't seem to be convenient, not even having a place to bathe.”

Actually, I already like this house a lot, but I have to pick out some mistakes and see if I can talk about other things. Usually, the rules for renting a house are 1: 3, but I'm really poor, I only have 1000 dollars on me.

When the old man heard me say this, he immediately argued, ”Alright, young man, for such a big house, it's already very cheap to rent it to you for three hundred dollars. If you have furniture and appliances, then I won't rent it to you for three hundred dollars. If you want to take a bath, there's a water pump in the yard.

I nodded. ”Alright then. Grandpa, I'll be renting this house.”

Hearing that, the grandpa's eyes suddenly lit up and a hint of joy flashed past his eyes. He directly took out the key from his pocket and passed it to me and said, ”Alright! We'll hand over the money and hand over the key. You can stay here from now on.”

I extended my hand to receive the key and probed, ”Uncle, how do you think we should pay the rent?”

”A bet of one to three, this is the rule of rent. For the first time, let's do it this way as well.” The grandpa said.

I chuckled and said embarrassedly, ”Uncle, to tell you the truth, I'm just a poor university student that just graduated from university. I don't have much money on me and haven't found a job yet. How about this? I'll give you two months' rent. After I go to work and earn some money, then we can follow this rule.”

He shook his head and said, ”Aiya, young man, how can you do this? The house you rented is already so cheap, why didn't you deliver it all at once? If you knew earlier, I wouldn't have brought you here …” ”Really …”

I hastily replied, ”Uncle …” ”I really want to rent this house, but right now, I'm really short on money, and I can't take out that much money. I promise that after I go to work and get paid, I will be the first to contact you and give you all the money I owe you as compensation. If you really don't agree, then I have no choice but to look for other places …”

The grandpa thought for a while and finally nodded his head. ”Alright. Seeing as it's not easy to be young, we'll do as you say. You can give me the money.”

After saying that, the grandpa extended his hand towards me.

Who knows if this uncle of mine is the owner of the house, he has to sign a contract to rent the house and leave a copy of his ID card, so as to not attract any unnecessary trouble. From what I heard from my brothers, there will be a lot of incidents where the second landlord swindled a new tenant.

At that moment, I told him about the contract. The boss impatiently said, ”Aiya, you're so troublesome. I'll give you the key, and you'll give me the money. Why are you still signing the contract? You're so annoying …”

However, I won't pay if I don't sign the contract. In the end, the grandpa had no other choice, so we directly walked out of Flowery Lane and went to a typewritten copy shop. We printed out a simple rental contract and even left a copy of each other's ID card.
