Chapter 2 Renting an apartment in the city
While cooking a meal, Weng Xiaoxiao had figured out her future path, but it was not easy to convince Mrs. Weng.
Weng is a very stubborn person, otherwise she wouldn't have come all the way to look for her husband. She is stubborn but cowardly, and doesn't dare to say a word in front of her scumbag father.
There is always something hateful about a pitiful person. This old saying is absolutely true.
Weng was hardworking and kind, and she had the traditional virtues of a working woman. However, she did not complain about the scumbag father's treatment of her and her daughter, and kept saying good things about him. He only said that she was sorry to the Jiang family and that she did not even give birth to a son... It was all the same over and over again. Weng Xiaoxiao had heard enough and did not want to listen to any more words. She was not going to do any ideological work, and of course, she did not dare to mention revenge.
She's stubborn, ignorant and dying, so why bother with her!
However, Weng could not stop her from doing what she wanted to do. On the pretext of buying food, Weng Xiaoxiao first took over the family's financial power. The solar terms wait for no one, and Weng Xiaoxiao did not want to be sadly returned to the book, and she froze to death in a few days.
Mrs. Weng was too weak to walk, so she had to go into the city first to explore the way, and then pick Mrs. Weng up after renting a house.
The next day, Weng Xiaoxiao got up very early and went to the kitchen to make a few pancakes to take with her. Before leaving, she brought a bowl of porridge to Weng and broke up half a pancake to soak in it.
Mrs. Weng coughed for half the night. She couldn't wait to recover from this illness. She didn't sleep well and her mind was a little confused. When she heard Weng Xiaoxiao say she was going to the city, she thought it was time to take care of the family again, and she didn't forget to remind her to be careful on the road.
After helping Weng sit up, he fed her some soup to warm her up. Weng Xiaoxiao had no choice but to close the door and walk out.
......
Weng Xiaoxiao altered the few old clothes her bad father had and prepared to wear men's clothes. After all, she was still young and it was hard to tell whether she was a boy or a girl. It was always much easier for a boy to go out and do things than a girl.
Most of the people living in the South District are commoners. It is close to the East District where the Imperial College is located. She plans to move there and hide in the city. Her scumbag father will not look for them, and even if he does, it will not be easy.
I walked through the streets and looked around like a headless fly for a long time, but I didn't see any rental notices and didn't know where to rent a house.
Being really hungry and thirsty, Weng Xiaoxiao had no choice but to knock on a door. She was lucky because a kind-looking old lady came out.
"Grandma, can I have a bowl of water?"
The old lady saw Weng Xiaoxiao was covered in dust and carrying a small bag, so she asked, "Young man, did you just come from another place?"
"Yes. We went to Beijing to live with our relatives. My mother fell ill and is now recuperating in the countryside. I came here first to take a look and I want to rent a house." Seeing that the old lady had a kind look in her eyes, Weng Xiaoxiao wanted to inquire about how to rent a house. She was afraid that it would be useless to just wander around outside.
"Poor thing, come in and have some hot water."
"Thank you, grandma." Weng Xiaoxiao bowed.
"Where do your relatives live?"
Weng Xiaoxiao pretended to scratch her head and sighed, "I only know that he is a teacher, but I don't know his exact address. I can only settle down and then slowly ask around. Grandma, how much is the rent for a house around here?"
"In our area," the old lady looked at Weng Xiaoxiao's clothes. She didn't look rich, but she shouldn't be too poor. "A room costs about 300 wen a month."
"Ten cents a day is enough to buy a good room in an inn in a small county town."
The old lady was not angry, she smiled slightly, "It's not easy to live in the capital. There's an empty room in the house next door, do you want to take a look?"
The surprise came too suddenly. Weng Xiaoxiao bowed and thanked her. "Look, it couldn't be better to have a good neighbor like grandma."
"This is my sister-in-law's yard. She lives a little far away, so I usually take care of her. A family of four lives in the main house. They perform on the Tianqiao Bridge. The east wing is occupied by a scholar who passed the autumn imperial examination and has to prepare for the spring imperial examination next year. The west wing is empty. It has simple furniture and can be moved in directly."
After introducing the place along the way, we arrived at the yard.
Some of the old brick houses are small courtyards. There is a tree in the yard, but it has lost its leaves and it is hard to tell what kind it is. There is a well near the kitchen, which makes life very convenient. The yard is tidy, with no clutter, which shows that the residents are all particular people.
The door of the west wing was ajar. The old lady walked over and opened it. There was a big bed, an old wardrobe, a small square table, and two small stools in the room, which could meet the most basic living needs.
There was very little dust, and it seemed that the house had not been idle for a long time. Weng Xiaoxiao looked around and was satisfied. "Grandma, how much is the rent for this house?"
"It's the price I just mentioned. I'm managing it for someone else, so I can't decide on the price reduction. It's no problem for me to take care of it once or twice a day."
Just for these two neighbors and the landlord, Weng Xiaoxiao did not hesitate and agreed directly.
The old lady smiled. After managing the house for a long time, she liked people who were straightforward. "Come with me to sign a contract. First pay a deposit of 100 coins and one month's rent. You can pay monthly in the future."
Weng Xiaoxiao nodded and followed the old lady back to the yard.
The signature was written crookedly, and Weng Xiaoxiao felt it was too embarrassing to look at and very shameful.
"It's rare to be able to write your name." The old lady took the deed and four hundred coins, took out a lock and handed it to Weng Xiaoxiao.
"I left a spare key here, just in case. Don't worry, I will never enter the house without permission."
Weng Xiaoxiao bowed, "I naturally believe in your character, and the door lock is only for upright people. Grandma, what's your name?"
She was a good talker, "My maiden name is Song, so you can call me Grandma Song."
"Grandma Song, is there a rickshaw driver nearby? I want to go pick up my mother right away."
"It's right at the corner of the street. Donkey carts are cheaper. Old Huang is an honest man. Just tell him that you rented Mrs. Song's house and he will take better care of you."
This is simply a one-stop service. Weng Xiaoxiao quickly bowed to express her gratitude.
There are ox carts in the small village, but Weng Xiaoxiao doesn't want the villagers to know where they have moved to, so as to reduce the risk of being found by her scumbag father.
It was already past noon, and not daring to waste time, Weng Xiaoxiao immediately went to the place where she could hire a cart. It happened that the old Huangtou who drove the donkey cart was idle there.
After a few words and agreeing on the price, we set off.
