"Well, I have something else to do at the hospital. I'll leave first~"

Doctor Jian said this in a rather cold manner, and then prepared to leave. After casually glancing at Shen Wenjiao, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Doctor Jian left in a hurry without delaying Miss Xu to continue negotiating the price with Shen Wenjiao, "Actually, I don't have any trouble renting out this building. Just now, don't look at the young age of the guy, he is a doctor! Just think about it, how convenient it would be for the doctor to live upstairs!"

Miss Xu really wanted to rent out the room on the third floor. The price was high because she was close to the concession, and the price was even higher if the room was bigger. At this price, she could rent a room twice as big as this one in a slightly farther place! She herself was unwilling to lower the price, so she was stuck between a high and a low price, and the room on the third floor was left.

"I usually collect rent at the beginning of the month, and the deposit is ten dollars. Your room is relatively large, so it's twenty dollars a month. You have to pay for water, electricity, miscellaneous expenses, and security fees yourself."

The more Miss Xu spoke, the weaker her voice sounded, but it was impossible to ask her to lower the price no matter what!

"How about this, there are still more than twenty days in this month, I'll give you half a month. Including the deposit, how about a total of twenty? You have to pay the full amount next month~"

Shen Wenjiao was not a person who would dither, and she had no intention of bargaining with Miss Xu over a few dollars.

"Okay~"

In fact, Shen Wenjiao's royalties over the years added up to tens of thousands of dollars. She exchanged half of it for hard currency like gold, and the rest was enough to buy a house in Shanghai!

But considering the current unstable situation, who knows how long they will stay in Shanghai, so it is naturally more convenient and less troublesome to rent a house!

After signing the rental contract with Miss Xu, Shen Wenjiao hurried down to help her mother up! Ms. Feng Ya's feet have been very hard these two days, and she has walked a lot!

Miss Xu took the money, gave the key, and went downstairs in her high heels. Finally, she rented out the largest room, and could earn an extra twenty dollars a month. Oh, she was smart. What's the point of relying on men foolishly? It's better to save money and buy a house to rent out. A steady and long-term life is the way to live!

When Shen Wenjiao brought her mother up, Miss Xu was long gone!

The layout of this room is quite reasonable. The living room is right at the entrance, with an eight-person table and four chairs placed against the wall. On the left is the adjacent toilet and kitchen, which are not big but have complete facilities. You can cook by adding some pots and pans! Further in is the so-called three bedrooms and three rooms.

One of the larger rooms has a double bed and wardrobe, but the others can't hold more. The other two rooms are much smaller, and it's obvious that the largest master bedroom has been divided into two small rooms, all with single beds.

In general, the whole room is small but complete!

"Jiaojiao, you live in the biggest room. I'll get you a small table at the foot of the bed to use as a desk." Ms. Feng Ya said with finality.

Shen Wenjiao glanced at the window of the largest room. There was a very narrow alley below the window, so she did not refuse.

Shen Wenjiao, her mother and her two daughters slowly settled down.

The next day, Shen Wenjiao asked Miss Xu to introduce a reliable rickshaw driver, and went to the post office to bring back the luggage she had sent in advance.

Shen Wenjiao also returned to her every penny the four hundred dollars that her mother had asked her to keep.

Ms. Feng Ya has always been annoyed by the fact that Shen Wenjiao doesn't know how expensive firewood and rice are, and spends money too carelessly. But her daughter is capable and she doesn't know how much money she earns, so she can't even give a reason to scold her.

"Jiaojiao, mother knows you must have a lot of money. But now the three of us are living off our savings, so we should be more frugal."

Shen Wenjiao flipped through the picture book she bought for one dollar without much concern, and said without raising her head, "It's okay, Mom, you and Aunt Feng can buy whatever the family needs. From now on, I will give you 30 dollars a month for living expenses. Is that enough?"

The biggest part of the rent was paid by Shen Wenjiao. If the three women did not spend too lavishly, the 30 yuan was enough. At least it was no problem to have some meat to eat every day.

"Oh~" Looking at Shen Wenjiao who was completely unconcerned, Ms. Feng Ya felt a little worried while sewing new clothes for them for the winter with Feng Ma.

Aunt Feng touched the soft and bright cloth in her hands and the fluffy new cotton beside her, glanced at the bright light in the room, and whispered to comfort Ms. Feng Ya, "Madam, why are you worried? Our young lady is so capable! She must have her own ideas in her mind, and we should just live a good life with her. If you are really worried, just help the young lady save more money on weekdays!"

For an old hand like Feng Ma, Shanghai is a little expensive, but 30 yuan a month can save a lot if you are careful! I guess the young lady knows this too, and it is a disguised way of subsidizing the wife!

"Auntie Feng, you're right. I have to save some money for Jiaojiao." Ms. Feng Ya said softly, looking at the needle and thread in her hand.

Shen Wenjiao didn't have time to think about her mother and the others' thoughts at the moment. Before going to the post office to pick up something, she found an excuse to go to Alice Western Restaurant in the French Concession. She didn't see the contact person, and she was worried about it at the moment!

Shen Wenjiao looked at the picture magazine in her hand, which was full of introductions to fancy clothes and delicious food. It was obvious that it was what the upper class liked. Yes, no matter how lively the fight was outside, it would not affect the group of people eating, drinking and having fun.

Shen Wenjiao knocked on the table. Now she needed a job that allowed her to go in and out of various places without arousing suspicion, and it also needed to be more leisurely and free.

Looking at the not-so-good photos in the magazine, Shen Wenjiao had a pretty good idea in her mind. However, she needed to spend money now, and she hoped that her mother would not be too angry when she found out.

Shen Wenjiao was a person who would do what she said, so she said hello to her mother and went out. She took the tram straight to the big department store, and bought a camera at a very good price while the salesperson was stunned, and also bought all the things needed to develop photos.

This is all on the surface. In fact, Shen Wenjiao secretly bought another copy using the mall in the Wenhao system. This way, she can use them separately and it is not easy for anyone to catch her.

"Mom, I'll take you to eat French food tomorrow. Now that we're in a prosperous place like Shanghai, we must see more of the country." Shen Wenjiao fiddled with the camera in her hand under her mother's surprised gaze.

"Oh my god, Jiaojiao. You're not going to give up until you spend all your money, right? No, what's so good about Western food? The money spent on such a small steak is enough for the three of us to eat for a week!"

Ms. Feng Ya's eyebrows raised, she must take good care of her daughter's extravagant habit!
