MDMP Chapter 77.1

When she first started talking to the owner of the house, Lin Juan could tell that the man in front of her was a shrewd and sophisticated person.

He picked up all the junk in the room and took it home. He didn’t hide his contempt for doing business in every sentence. He only endured it for the monthly rent.

So, Lin Juan knew there was an opportunity.

Sure enough, when the owner of the house heard what Lin Juan said, he immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, “What? Do you want to rent this room too? But I’ve already rented it to someone else!”

“That’s such a pity.” Lin Juan said with regret.

Seeing that Lin Juan didn’t continue talking, the man became anxious again. He continued, “But the couple only told me verbally that they wanted to rent it, and they haven’t paid the money yet! If you want, it’s not impossible. But the money…”

There were few people renting the house at this time. Li Dashu and his wife only told the owner that they wanted to rent it.

When the owner heard about the rent, he was naturally eager to rent out the house, but he didn’t rush to ask them for money, for fear of scaring them away.

This was a good opportunity for Lin Juan.

“How much is your rent?” Lin Juan asked.

The man’s eyes flashed. He thought quickly and then said: “I rented it to that couple for 5 yuan a month! If you want, give me 7 yuan!”

When Lin Juan heard the price, she cursed the owner for being black-hearted.

How could such a small and shabby house be 5 yuan a month?

This was obviously a scam!

Lin Juan guessed correctly. The man actually rented this house to Li Dashu and his wife for 3 yuan a month, but now Lin Juan wanted it, so of course, he had to raise the price.

However, Lin Juan was not a fool. She sneered and said, “7 yuan a month? Brother, don’t joke!”

“That’s the price!” The man said with a fierce face, “If you don’t believe it, forget it!”

Lin Juan knew the principle of bargaining well and said regretfully, “Forget it. 7 yuan a month is too expensive.”

Lin Juan pretended to leave. The man became anxious when he saw it.

“Hey, hey, hey, don’t leave. If you think it’s too expensive, how about 5 yuan?”

Although he made 2 yuan less, he made more than renting it to the couple!

Lin Juan stopped, turned around, and said, “5 yuan. It’s not cheap!”

“It’s 5 yuan, not a penny less. I rented it to you just because you look kind-hearted!” Said the man.

“Okay, okay, 5 yuan is 5 yuan.” Lin Juan pretended to be heartbroken.

“But, Brother, you have to give me a written receipt, otherwise, who can I go to for justice if you run away?”

The man was also afraid that Lin Juan, the big fat sheep, would run away, so he immediately said, “Okay, okay, we will sign the agreement right away, and you pay the money first.”

The two of them went through the house rental process very quickly as if they were both afraid that the other party would go back on their word.

After a while, Lin Juan got the key to the small house and the rental agreement, while the man put the 5 yuan rent paid by Lin Juan in his arms.

Both parties expressed their satisfaction.

***

Zhao Suisui knew nothing about these things. She was still waiting for Li Dashu’s bun shop to open!

It was just that Li Dashu’s bun shop was at the other end of the alley, while Zhao Suisui usually went to school on the other side and rarely passed by that side.

In addition, she didn’t hear anyone else say that the bun shop opened, so Zhao Suisui thought that Li Dashu and his wife hadn’t opened the shop yet.

A week passed in the blink of an eye. Zhao Suisui thought that the shop must be opened anyway, right?

So, she decided to go and take a look.

She definitely did this not because she was greedy, but out of concern for her neighbors!
