Gu Fei followed Old Man Huang through the back door. In front of him was a very large yard. The ground of the yard was covered with dead leaves, and opposite was a two-story building.
After crossing the yard and entering the small building opposite, the house was quite tidy, unlike the thick layer of dust outside.
Gu Fei found a clean chair and sat down by herself. Old Man Huang rubbed his hands and said, "Girl, there is no tea in this house, and there is nothing to entertain you."
Gu Fei waved her hand, "You're welcome, Uncle Huang, let's have a chat. How do you rent this house?"
Old Man Huang sat down and
asked, "What business do you want to rent this store for?" Gu Fei said
generously, "She was still a young woman in literature ." When I was young, I had a dream, work hard to make money, and then open an inn or bar, drink wine every day, see all kinds of things in the world, and listen to other people's stories, how pleasant it is.
Old Man Huang touched his chin, "Opening an inn is a good job. It's stable and you don't have to travel."
"Does the girl want to rent it together with the one in the backyard?"
Gu Fei nodded, "Add these buildings together, How many rooms are there?"
Old Man Huang held out three fingers and said, "Thirty."
Gu Fei didn't say anything. Thirty rooms are neither more nor less.
"Then how much rent do you want per year?"
Old Man Huang pondered for a moment, "Little girl, I have a request. As long as you agree, I will rent this house to you cheaply."
Gu Fei leaned forward, "Uncle Huang, then "Tell me, what are you asking for?"
Old Man Huang sighed, "I am actually the most lively person. Now I am alone. If the girl is willing to leave a room for me to live in, I will have three meals a day. It doesn't matter if the house is rented to you cheaply, it will be empty anyway. "
This request is too simple.
Gu Fei had some doubts in her heart, so she heard Old Man Huang sigh, "I'm old, and I don't lack money. I just want to have someone to talk to with me every day. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll die alone in the house one day." People know."
The little doubt in Gu Fei's heart was dispelled. Alas, perhaps what people fear most when they get old is loneliness.
She nodded and said, "Uncle Huang, these are not problems. How much rent do you think is appropriate?"
Old Man Huang thought for a while, "Little girl is kind-hearted, I won't charge more. You can give me ten taels of silver a month. One hundred and twenty taels a year. "
"Besides, my bastard brother is here. No matter how much I charge you, I might have to give it back to you later."
Gu Fei's eyes lit up. This is really a good price!
Old Man Huang added, "As I said before, I won't give you any money for meals!"
"My old man has a very tricky mouth. Not only is there meat in every meal, but you also have to see meat and fish all the time."
Gu Fei She smiled and said , "Don't worry, Uncle Huang, I will never treat you badly in terms of food."
She said carefully: "Uncle Huang, my money is a bit tight. Can I pay the rent once a month?"
Old Man Huang smiled, " Of course, it's okay. I'm in love with the girl. This is nothing. I'm supposed to collect a deposit of one hundred taels. Since the girl is tight on money, I won't accept the deposit."
"I just want to remind the girl to be careful of my bastard. Brother."
Gu Fei stood up and said to Old Man Huang, "Thank you, sir."
As for the bastard, let's wait until he comes to visit.
It's not a good plan right now.
"Uncle Huang, I'll take my leave now. I'll go back to discuss it with my parents and come back to sign a contract with you in a day or two."
Old Man Huang sent Gu Fei out the door, watched Gu Fei get on the mule cart, turned around and closed the door. He sat at the door again, with a faint smile on his lips.
