Rebirth: My story with my ex-husband

Jiang Yinqiu also noticed this from Mr. Chu, and quietly looked at Su Xinmi's expression. He found that he couldn't tell anything from her expression. She didn't have the solemnity of Mr. Chu, but seemed more relaxed.

The old men around did not leave either. They all frowned as they watched the confrontation that had lasted for half an hour.

Suddenly, Mr. Chu had an idea and quickly moved the red car in his hand forward a step, pointing directly at Su Xinmi's general. At the end, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but glance at Su Xinmi.

Jiang Yinqiu and several old men also noticed his change, as if he had already won and was just waiting for Su Xinmi to admit defeat.

For a moment, everyone looked at Su Xinmi to see how she would react next.

She frowned at first, then smiled, as if she had known he would do this and was well aware of his move to lure the enemy, but she was prepared.

The black cannon in her hand moved sideways and her fingers left. The situation on the chessboard was obviously different, and she quietly resolved the crisis.

Old Man Chu looked at this play and exclaimed, "Great move!"

Jiang Yinqiu didn't know how to play chess, he just watched the other old men nod their heads repeatedly, and looked at Su Xinmi with admiration.

She also smiled, she knew that Mimi would not lose.

But it’s not over yet, the two have not yet decided the winner.

After a fierce competition, Su Xinmi's chess broke through Mr. Chu's last line of defense and approached Mr. Chu's veteran.

Elder Chu showed a trace of helplessness on his face. He stared at the game for a long time and sighed heavily, "I lost."

However, Old Master Chu laughed heartily. It had been a long time since he had met a worthy opponent in chess. It was pointless to play chess with these old guys.

Today was the first time he played chess with young people. They all had their own strategies, but it seemed like he had gained something new.

Several other old men sighed: "It is true that the younger generation pushes the older generation forward. The young people today are really amazing."

"Yes, this little girl is really good at playing chess, like an old hand."

"I've never seen this play before, it really opened my eyes."

Su Xinmi did not show any pride when listening to the compliments from the elders.

She was not actually a novice in chess. Having experienced many things in her previous life, she had naturally improved a lot.

Old Master Chu looked at Su Xinmi's calmness and nodded with satisfaction. This girl is extraordinary, really extraordinary.

"You said you want me to agree to one condition?"

"What are the conditions?"

The other people were also curious about what conditions the little girl had that required Mr. Chu to agree to.

Su Xinmi smiled and said, "Actually, I've been here for a long time, and I've been watching the grandfathers play chess."

"I just heard from Grandpa Chu that he has two houses. We also want to rent a house, so we were thinking about whether we could talk to Grandpa Chu."

Su Xinmi's words were clear and understandable without being offensive.

Old Master Chu thought it was something else, but it turned out to be the matter about the house that he just talked about.

He looked at her carefully for several times, "Why do you rent a house?"

"From your accent, you're not from Kyoto?"

Su Xinmi felt that there was no need to hide it. "Yes, we are not from Kyoto. We go to school here, but we have been living in a guesthouse for the past few days. At night, someone knocks on the door to disturb us. We think this is not a long-term solution, so we are thinking about whether we can rent a house."

There was nothing to fault with her explanation.

However, they had also stayed in a guesthouse, so they naturally knew what was going on with those knocking on the door. They didn't expect that even with such severe crackdowns, there were still people who wanted to do that.

"Have you been admitted to college?"

It seems that Mr. Chu's focus is never on the right things.

She was also a little helpless, "Yes, we two just passed the exam."

Mr. Liu said, "You students can live in school, why do you have to rent a house?"

Costly.

But he didn't say it, after all, it was someone else's business.

In the eyes of the elderly, money should be saved wherever possible.

Su Xinmi sighed, "We can't go home every time during holidays. We can't live in the school. There's no one there. We have to get food. We can only find a place to live. It's more convenient."

Mr. Chu asked them about their purpose of renting the house, thought about it carefully, and felt that it was not impossible to rent it out.

He is alone, and others tease him that this old man, who is alone, actually has two houses to live in. He usually lives in only one place to avoid having to clean both places every time.

Besides, Su Xinmi and the other two girls don’t seem like the kind of people who would do anything reckless. They look respectable, so the house shouldn’t be damaged by them.

Su Xinmi saw that Grandpa Chu was considering this, so she pulled Jiang Yinqiu aside and assured him, "Grandpa Chu, don't worry, we will protect your house."

"We can sign the contract. As for the price, can we go to your house to take a look?"

The other old men felt that they had nothing to do and could just go home for dinner, so they did not stay and left after saying goodbye.

Jiang Yinqiu also said, "Grandpa Chu, if you don't trust us, you can let us stay for a while. If you are not satisfied, you can let us leave at any time."

Finally, Grandpa Chu nodded and said, "Let's go. I really can't live in two houses. It's easier to clean if someone lives there."

Old Master Chu took them to see the house he didn't live in, which was an independent house with a courtyard.

After opening the door, I found that it was quite large inside. Although it looked like no one had lived there for a long time, it was very clean and much better than Su Xinmi's previous house.

"This is my son and daughter-in-law's house. They are now abroad and may not come back for a few years. It is usually empty."

Su Xinmi was indeed somewhat satisfied. The yard looked quite new, and they probably left not long after living there.

Walking on the bluestone road, the sunlight poured down, casting mottled shadows. They were standing in the center of the courtyard at the moment, surrounded by houses on all sides. The courtyard was spacious and bright, with a few pine and cypress trees planted, and a pool of clear water. A few koi were swimming happily in it, and the sunlight poured down, casting their shadows, which were crystal clear.

The east wing also exudes a unique Chinese style. Walking through the central hall and into the west wing, there is a large carved bed. When the window is opened, you can see the scenery in the courtyard, which is antique.

Two side rooms and a few other rooms, nice.

Such a big yard for her and Jiang Yinqiu was a bit of a luxury.

Grandpa Chu wanted to take them to see the yard where he lived.

Su Xinmi and Jiang Yinqiu looked at each other and saw satisfaction in each other's eyes.

So he said, "Grandpa Chu, there's no need to look at it. We are very satisfied with this house. It depends on whether you are willing to rent it to us."

Old Master Chu looked at the house and then at them.
