Rebirth 2010 Buying a House

Chapter 107 Rent
"How much is a catty of strawberries?"

Dong Yuan was carrying a bag containing groceries bought for a few days. Although she was only a sophomore, she already looked like a housewife who had been in the vegetable market for a long time.

"This year's strawberries are sweet. Look at how big they are. I'm sure you'll want to eat them. How about some?"

The stall owner said enthusiastically when he saw the customers coming.

"how much is it?"

Dong Wan repeated his question. No matter it was a fruit seller or a fresh produce seller, the answer was wrong every time. He had to wait for you to ask it two or three times before answering your question.

"23, these are good strawberries."

The stall owner emphasized again while talking about the price.

"If you don't believe me, try it. I'm sure it will be sweet."

The stall owner said as he casually picked up a strawberry and handed it to Dong Wan.

"No, I'll jump a few pounds."

Dong Wan said as he took the plastic bag and started picking. Some strawberries looked fine but had some small ulcers, but most of them were still good.

The picker almost handed the bag to the stall owner.

"It's more than two catties in total, you can just give fifty."

The stall owner pointed to the number on the electronic scale and said to Dong Wan.

In addition to strawberries, Dong Wan also bought fish. Liu Da likes to eat fish. Although it is a bit troublesome to sit up, she will buy one every other week or so, and either grill the fish or braise the fish fillets.

Dong Wan learned this cooking skill in high school. At that time, she just wanted not to owe Liu Da too much, so she regarded herself as the cook of Liu Da's family.

Now that I think about it, that guy is really cheap.

Walking back, the streets were full of children returning home from school. Some were led by adults, and some were walking in small groups. It looked very lively.

Dong Wan remembers that when she was a child, she would linger until the end every time she went home, because that home was the last thing she wanted to go back to.

It's different now. What she likes most is staying at home and not going anywhere.

"Why did you buy so many vegetables today?"

Liu Da, who got up from the computer desk in the living room, saw Dong Wan coming back and greeted him. He took the dish from her hand and asked in surprise.

"Buy more so you don't have to go out tomorrow. I want to rest at home for a few days."

Dong Wan handed the things to Liu Da, then hugged Liu Da, and then finally let go of him after a long time.

"Okay, I just happen to have nothing to do tomorrow. Thank you for your hard work these past two days."

Liu Da kissed Dong Wan on the forehead and said, Tiantianchuang Group has a lot of affairs these days, and many projects have problems. Liu Daguang has gone to the company no less than five or six times.

The next task of cleaning the fish and vegetables was naturally handed over to Liu Da. Dong Wan followed Liu Da's example and lay down on the sofa. The sunlight outside the window shone into the living room through the large floor-to-ceiling window of the living room.

The whole room was so warm, and with the heating, Dong Wan was so comfortable that he just wanted to sleep.

After Liu Da put away the dishes, he saw that Dong Wan was still lying down in the living room and did not call her. He grilled the fish himself, and then cooked millet porridge and stir-fried two vegetables.

After everything was done, he quietly walked to the living room.

Liu Da sat on the sofa on one side and looked at Dong Wan who was sleeping. Dong Wan had long eyelashes and fair and delicate skin, just like a little baby.

She seemed to be dreaming about something, her eyelashes were trembling slightly, which made Liu Da couldn't bear to call her out, so he simply sat on the sofa and waited for a while.

Until Dong Wan woke up on his own.

"Well, what time is it?"

Dong Wan got up from the sofa in a daze, sat on the sofa in a daze for a while, and then asked Liu Da.

As he asked, he came to Liu Da's side and hugged Liu Da.

"It's still early, I've just been cooking for a while."

Liu Da hugged Dong Wan and spoke. Dong Wan rubbed his face on Liu Da's shoulder, just like a kitten.

"Okay, let's eat first, the food will be cold in a while."

Liu Da rubbed Dong Wan's head and said to her with a smile.

Liu Da's cooking skills are much inferior to Dong Wan's, but relatively speaking, it's still edible. The grilled fish is entirely made with Dong Wan's sauce. Liu Da only needs to clean the fish, apply the sauce and put it in the oven. That's it.

So the grilled fish tastes very good.

However, during the middle of the meal, Dong Wan seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to tell Liu Da something.

"Are you really not going back for the New Year?"

Dong Wan hesitated before asking.

This made Liu Da stunned for a moment.

"Why do you ask so suddenly? Didn't we all agree that we will spend time in Kyoto this year?"

Liu Da looked at Dong Wan in surprise.

"It's okay, I'm just asking. If you go back now, it's still too late."

Dong Wan added.

"Did my mother call you?"

But Liu Da saw through her at a glance. If Liu's mother hadn't called Dong Wan, she would never have said such a thing. After hearing Liu Da's words, Dong Wan just nodded silently.

"Okay, I see. Let's eat first, and we'll talk after we finish."

Liu Da said and continued to eat. The fish was delicious, but it was a little cold. It was delicious and had no fishy smell, but Liu Da didn't have much thought about eating fish at this moment.

But he was surprised that his mother would call Dong Wan.

After dinner in the evening, Dong Wan didn't mention the matter anymore, and Liu Da didn't say anything anymore, but he was obviously a little absent-minded while sitting on the sofa watching TV.

This lasted until the next day, when Liu Da finally decided to go back.

But instead of going back now, I will wait until the Chinese New Year is approaching. Kyoto is closer to my hometown than to Shicheng, so it won't take long even if I drive back.

It’s better than trying to squeeze in the Spring Festival travel rush.

But just before going back, something went wrong with the house Liu Da bought in another place in Kyoto.

Liu Da bought a total of three apartments in Kyoto. One of these three apartments is in Dong Wan's name, and the remaining two are in his name. One of them is where they live now.

The other house was rented to Liao Xuebing before, but now he has moved out, so Liu Da plans to rent out that house again.

For this reason, he specially found an intermediary, but he didn't expect that the problem would eventually come from the intermediary.

"I paid half a year's rent for this house. Why do you say this house is rented by you? This is the rental contract. Please read it yourself."

Outside the house, a pot-bellied man wearing a big gold chain shouted to another girl with a rental contract in his hand, and the girl also took out such a contract.

The houses written in the contract are all Liu Da's houses.

Obviously, the intermediary rented a house to two people, and then ran away with the money.

Liu Da also went to the intermediary company about this matter, but the intermediary said that the person in charge of the house at that time had resigned. Simply put, they could not be held responsible for this matter.
