Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 117 Women don’t have to marry (49)

The flowers and plants all over the courtyard are in bloom, like a flowing ancient scroll. I don’t know what kind of flowers are blooming in full bloom. They are red, white, and pink. The petals of various colors shine in the sun, exuding bursts of fragrance.

The ancient trees in the courtyard are towering, and their lush branches and leaves add a touch of coolness to this small world. Occasionally, a few butterflies shuttle among the flowers, busy collecting nectar, adding a bit of vitality to this quiet courtyard.

"What a beauty……"

Such a beautiful yard is enough to show that the owner is a serious person. If you can live here, you will be in a good mood every day.

Although there are many houses for rent here, most of them are not rented out as a whole. They usually rent out a few rooms inside, which are equivalent to independent single rooms, but the yard and kitchen need to be shared.

If Jiang Qiucheng had the strength now, he would naturally want to rent a whole apartment, but obviously, the most cost-effective way at the moment is to share it with others in this pretty good place.

Looking at the slightly yellowed rental notice, she wondered whether the house was still for rent. If so, why the handwriting on it was almost fading and there was no need to replace it with another one.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Qiucheng decided to ask. She took a few steps forward and knocked on one of the doors tentatively.

"Boom boom boom——"

There was a crisp knock on the door. Jiang Qiucheng took a step back and stood waiting obediently. After a while, the door was opened and an old lady came out.

"who is that?"

The old lady's hair is as white as snow, neatly combed into a bun with a wooden hairpin inserted into it. There is no excessive decoration, but she looks dignified and generous. His face is kind and gentle, which makes people feel close to him.

She folded her hands in front of her abdomen, and her slightly curved back revealed the vicissitudes of time, but her eyes were exceptionally bright and deep, as if she could see through all the turmoil and glitz in the world.

Jiang Qiucheng pointed to the leasing notice on the door and said warmly.

"Um...I knocked on the door when I saw this. I want to ask you, are you still interested in renting this house?"

The old lady looked Jiang Qiucheng up and down and saw that except for a backpack and a dog, she had no extra luggage. She made a rough judgment in her mind that this child would not be easy to get here.

"Yes, I have an empty room here that I plan to rent out, but there's something I have to tell you first."

"If you don't care about this, I'll tell you about the rental in detail."

Hearing that the house was still available for rent, Jiang Qiucheng felt a little happy, but before she could be happy, the old lady's words confused her again.

"what is the matter?"

As if she had said it many times, the old lady sighed and explained slowly.

"There is no one else in this house except me. I am old and have experienced the loss of my father in youth, the loss of my husband in middle age, and the loss of my son in old age. Others say that I only control those close to me, and they dare not interact with me for fear of contamination." Bad luck."

"I have been alone for a long time. The yard is empty and my heart is empty. That's why I decided to rent out a room. I thought someone would come and have a word with me occasionally."

"Because of this, I deliberately lowered the rent a lot. The low price did attract a lot of interested people, but I didn't want to lie to people, so I told the truth. After they heard it, they all waved their hands and said they wouldn't rent. My house, over time, I accepted it.”

"Oh, no one has knocked on this door for a long time. I didn't even notice it. The rental notice posted in front of the door has already turned yellow..."

Hearing the old lady's lonely tone, Jiang Qiucheng felt sour in his heart.

Despite experiencing so many tragic events, the old lady still cheered up, arranged her life in an orderly manner, and took care of so many flowers and plants. Perhaps the smile on her face gradually became forced due to the repeated rejections.

"Grandma, I don't mind."

Hearing Jiang Qiucheng's reply, the old lady was stunned for a moment, and then asked again in disbelief.

"What did you say? I think maybe I am too old and heard the wrong thing."

Seeing the other party's uncertain look, Jiang Qiu cleared his throat and repeated it seriously.

"Grandma, you heard me right, I said I don't mind, I want to rent your house!"

Looking at Jiang Qiucheng's bright smiling face, the old lady's dry face trembled, showing a slightly moved expression. Before she could speak, Jiang Qiucheng continued to add.

"Although sadness and misfortune cannot be compared, to a certain extent, I can understand how you feel. There is no one else in my family except me."

"My parents left me when I was a child. It was my grandma who worked hard to bring me up, but before I had time to be filial to her, she also... Well, after she left, I lived alone for several years. Before I have completely left home these days, thinking of coming to Yuechuan to find something to do for myself. "

"If you don't mind, rent this house to me so that we can take care of each other."

Although Jiang Qiucheng spoke easily now, these words deeply hurt the old lady's heart. She also had parents and children. She knew the pain of losing a loved one. She didn't expect that the girl in front of her would actually... There is such a tragic past.

"My good boy, I'm really sorry for you."

"Since you don't mind, then I will naturally be happy to rent the house to you. Come in and take a look. If you are satisfied with it, we can discuss other matters slowly after you have finished reading."

The old lady took Jiang Qiucheng's hand, touched it lovingly, and then pulled her towards the yard.

"Okay, please take me to see it first."

"Wangcai, keep up!"

Hearing Jiang Qiucheng calling him, Wangcai wagged his tail and nimbly got in.

Seeing Wangcai's obedient look, the old lady smiled and rolled her eyes, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened a few times.

"This dog is so well-behaved and looks a bit old."

"I have a cat that has been with me for more than ten years now. What I like most every day is sleeping in the yard. I don't know if the cat and the dog will fight in the future."

Perhaps thinking of the scene of cats and dogs playing around, the old lady pursed her lips and smiled.

When Jiang Qiucheng heard that there was a cat in the yard, he immediately became energetic. He stood on tiptoe and looked around, trying to find the furry figure.

"You also have a cat. That's great. I like cats. But I don't seem to be looking at them now. Did you run out to play?"

Seeing that Jiang Qiucheng likes cats, the old lady smiled even more happily.

"The big raccoon sleeps most of the time, and occasionally goes out for a few walks. I can't see it now. Maybe it ran out to play. When it comes back later, I will call it over."

"Come on, let's take a look at the house first."
