Quick Transmigration: After becoming beautiful, I am numb

Chapter 83 The Vicious Stepmother of the Republic of China ([-])
“The yard is not bad!”

Gu Qingcheng is used to controlling her emotions, so she won't let others see her emotions easily.

However, this courtyard is really nice, a single courtyard, but not remote.

With the door closed, one can live in peace, but with the door open, there are neighbors.

There is also a well in the yard, so it is very convenient to get water.

Not far away is the moat, and it is very convenient to wash clothes and other things.

Moreover, perhaps as the old man boasted, there is a spring underground here, and the surrounding air seems to be a little moist.

"Where's the rent? Master, you don't dare to ask for extravagant prices."

Seeing that Gu Qingcheng was only concerned about satisfaction but did not bargain, Datou Bing offered to help and said something.

"Oh, military lord, look at what you said, you two are standing here, how dare the little old man cheat people?"

The old man said exaggeratedly, and he almost shouted "wronged".

However, he still worried about two big soldiers: Tsk tsk, he brought guards with him when he went out. This country woman must have some background.

"I just told you that one month's rent is one ocean, and the minimum rent is three months, and you have to pay two oceans as a deposit."

The old man pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "How about this, I will give you five yuan for half a year, and you can pay one yuan for the deposit."

One ocean a month, six months should have been six.

The old man asked for five yuan, which was a yuan discount for Gu Qingcheng.

"You old man, you are quite good at settling accounts. The rents of long-term and short-term rental houses are different."

Although Datoubing is illiterate, he can count.

Especially if it has anything to do with money, he is very clever with calculations.

"..."

Seen through his little plan, the old man was a little embarrassed.

"Master Jun, I really don't want much, can you see how tidy my courtyard is?"

He tried to explain.

Gu Qingcheng only thought it was interesting.

She has lived two lifetimes and has been a noble daughter of a noble family.

I did two missions, one was a fool who didn't understand worldly customs; the other was a daughter of the Marquis Mansion, married into the Duke's mansion, and had no chance to get in touch with these.

Therefore, Gu Qingcheng is still relatively unfamiliar with ordinary people in the market.

However, the people of the Republic of China seem to be different from the grassroots people under the feudal dynasty.

They have the humbleness of "people", but they have a bit or two of confidence.

Contradictions, this era is full of contradictions between the old and the new.

Gu Qingcheng was very confident with 500 yuan in his hand.

She doesn't care about the rent of one or two yuan.

However, even if you have money, you can't be taken advantage of.

After thinking about it, Gu Qingcheng said, "Grandpa, I will rent you for a year, counting eight yuan, and then I will give you one yuan as a deposit?"

"No! Definitely not! How about you give nine yuan, plus a deposit, and you just make up the whole thing?"

The old man had an aggrieved look of "I have suffered a big loss", and he bargained firmly with Gu Qingcheng.

Gu Qingcheng saw that the old man refused to give in any more, so he knew that this should be a low price.

In fact, when Gu Qingcheng first saw the old man, he still saw sympathy in his eyes.

Although he didn't know what this person was imagining, Gu Qingcheng could feel the kindness of this person.

Therefore, at the beginning, he should not have asked for a random price, but followed the market price.

The market price was not the lowest price, and the appearance of the two big-head soldiers allowed the old man to cede some benefits.

After Gu Qingcheng bargained again, it should be the lowest price close to the old man's heart.

Gu Qingcheng has always been a noble person, but she has never used her power to dominate others.

She negotiated prices, just to enjoy this kind of life in the market, not to bully the people at the bottom.

"Okay! Just do as you say."

Gu Qingcheng agreed to the price and readily took out ten yuan.

Sign the lease, in duplicate, the old man is quite formal.

Gu Qingcheng got his share and gave the money to the old man.

"There is simple furniture in the room, and if you can use it, keep using it."

The old man took the money, and the grievance on his face was wiped away.

He smiled and said to Gu Qingcheng, "If you don't like it, you can buy it yourself. I'll find someone to take the furniture away!"

Gu Qingcheng entered the room and took a look. The furniture the old man mentioned was an Eight Immortals table, two armchairs, and a bed in the east room.

The furniture was painted red, but the corners had peeled away, revealing the original color of the wood.

The furniture looked quite old, but it was clean.

There are no oil stains or dirt, but it is polished clean and shiny.

"I will use these furniture for the time being, and I will replace them when I find suitable ones!"

Gu Qingcheng has the particularity of a family, but he will not be blindly particular about the reality.

She can live in a luxurious house, and she can also be content in thatched cottage.

Her dignity has never been set off by the environment, but that this place has become different because of her!
Gu Qingcheng has such confidence and pride.

"Sure! Everything will be done as you said."

After collecting the money, the old man became very talkative.

"By the way, my house is in the front yard. If you need anything, you can come to me!"

"Hey, they belong to neighbors, so they should take care of each other."

The old man pointed to a yard in front and said enthusiastically.

"Hey, thank you, Uncle Zhu."

After renting the other party's house and seeing the other party's signature and seal with his own eyes, Gu Qingcheng also knew the other party's name.

She thanked him politely and sent Uncle Zhu out of the house.

Afterwards, she said to the two big soldiers, "It's been a hard day for you two, and the money is not much, so let's have a cup of tea, Mr. Jun."

Gu Qingcheng took out two ocean dollars and handed them to the two.

Surprise flashed clearly in the eyes of the two big-headed soldiers: Hey, just following the rickshaw ride for a long time, and without any effort, they got a piece of the ocean for nothing.

Their monthly salary is only one ocean.

It may not be possible to receive it on time.

This Ms. Gu is really generous!

It stands to reason that she could not give it, after all, she is Ma Ling's "friend".

But they still gave it, this is because they know how to deal with the world, and they are generous.

"Oh, Ms. Gu, how can you be so embarrassed!"

The two were talking, but the action of collecting money was not slow at all.

Holding the heavy ocean in their hands, the two big soldiers were very happy, and they said positively: "Ms. Gu, if you have any errands in the future, just come to our brothers!"

"We can't help with other big things, but if we run errands or move things, we brothers won't hesitate!"

The two of them slapped their chests loudly.

Gu Qingcheng nodded with a smile, and asked for their names.

Afterwards, she sent the man out, watched the two leave, and closed the courtyard door.

Hearing the sound of the door panel behind him, the two big-headed soldiers took out the Yuan big head from their pockets.

Take it in your hand and blow it, then put it to your ear to listen to the sound.

"Hey! Really!"

"It must be true. I've heard that Commander Ma helped Ms. Gu sell her property and bought hundreds of dollars."

"Oh, this is a rich woman!"

"What? Are you excited?"

"Bah! I'm not stupid, but I dared to poach the commander's corner."

"Why did you poach the commander's corner? You don't know yet, the warlord has acted as a matchmaker for our commander, and our commander may marry a foreign student as his successor."

"Really? Didn't the commander—" He was a little bit interested in Ms. Gu.

Helping sell the real estate, but there is no benefit, what a favor.

"Of course it's true. Don't forget, Adjutant Dong and I are still fellow villagers."

"Bah! Your hometown and Adjutant Dong are not from the same county, so why are we fellow townsmen?"

"Why not..."

The two big-headed soldiers were bickering as they walked.

They took advantage of Gu Qingcheng, and they still had a good impression of this Ms. Gu.

It's a pity, it's a good person, but it's disfigured, otherwise, even if you can't get Mrs. Commander, you can still be a concubine.

The "disfigured" Gu Qingcheng closed the door and began to pack her things.

Uncle Zhu, the landlord, left simple furniture, but no bedding.

The original owner was kicked out by the Li family. After Gu Qingcheng came through, he did not find a fixed residence, but stayed in an inn.

Therefore, Gu Qingcheng did not buy any bedding or anything else.

She just bought some ready-made clothes for herself and her fat son.

In her suitcase, there are only these clothes and a packet of silver dollars.

"I still have to go out and buy something!"

Gu Qingcheng walked around, cleaned up a little, and dug a few holes near the wall.

She originally had 500 yuan in her hand, after deducting the train fare, rent and "tips" to the top soldiers.

She now has 480 yuan left.

Gu Qingcheng took out another 12 yuan, divided the 470 yuan into several parts, and buried them in those pits.

Mark the position, backfill the soil, step on it, and make a good camouflage.

Then, Gu Qingcheng pulled his fat son out of the courtyard.

After locking the door and taking the key, Gu Qingcheng came to Zhu's house in the direction directed by Uncle Zhu.

Uncle Zhu was not at home, because he sneaked out during working hours.

After finishing his private affairs, he handed over the lease contract and Dayang to his wife, and hurried back to continue his work.

Uncle Zhu was away, but his wife, Aunt Zhu, knew that Gu Qingcheng had rented a house.

Opening the door and looking at the veiled little daughter-in-law outside the door, Aunt Zhu said enthusiastically, "Is this Ms. Gu? Are you okay?"

"Hello, ma'am, I would like to ask if there is anyone selling bedding and bedding around here?"

"Yes! Our place is next to the university hall, and there are many teachers and students from other places. They all need these guys to work."

When there is demand, there is market.

Therefore, there are shops selling bedding and ready-made clothes near the university hall.

Aunt Zhu enthusiastically pointed the way. If Gu Qingcheng hadn't strongly refused, the old lady would have led Gu Qingcheng there directly.

Apart from being her own tenant, Mrs. Zhu herself is a warm-hearted person.

Gu Qingcheng: ...too enthusiastic, a little uncomfortable.

She is used to being noble, and really lacks the experience of interacting with ordinary people in the market.

"You, go to Yu's shop and tell him that you are a tenant of our old Zhu's."

In this way, shopkeeper Yu would not dare to ask for prices.

"Good! Thank you!"

Gu Qingcheng felt a feeling that he had never experienced before...

　Thank you for the reward from the old man chatting with the youth crazy 1977, thank you for your support, thank you everyone!
