Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 118 Women don’t have to marry (50)

The old lady took a few steps forward and opened the door. Jiang Qiucheng stood outside the house, leaning forward and looking inside. Although the house was not large, every inch of space was cleverly used, making it both practical and elegant. .

Looking around, you can see the furnishings clearly.

There is a desk by the window. The desk is clean and there is no unnecessary clutter. The sunlight shines softly through the window lattice in front of the table, creating a quiet and elegant atmosphere. There is a back chair next to it, which is both beautiful and comfortable.

On the other side of the room is a bed. In the corner of the bed are several neatly folded quilts. Next to the bed is a small wardrobe with a copper handle inlaid on the door. In addition, there is a small tea table with a set of simple tea sets placed on the tea table.

"Look, are you satisfied?"

"I often clean this house. There is no dust and it is very clean. If you are satisfied, you can move in today."

Jiang Qiucheng walked into the room, walked around the corner, and finally stood still in front of the door.

"It looks pretty good to me. It's much better than the house I lived in before."

"Grandma, how much is your monthly rent for this house?"

The old lady pursed her lips, thought for a while, and then spoke slowly.

"To be honest, I'm not really short of money. I'm just an old man. I don't spend much money on food and drink. Even if I save money, I won't be able to take it with me in the future."

"If you want, you can stay here. I won't charge you any money. Just come back and talk to me every day."

"Occasionally, help me water the flowers and weed, to make my old house more popular."

Hearing this, Jiang Qiucheng instinctively wanted to refuse, but the other party seemed to have expected it, and held up her sign language and said seriously.

"Since I said this, I have already thought about it. Don't feel bad about it. It just made room for me. I didn't lose anything."

"I see that you are a well-behaved and good boy. Just stay here in peace."

Looking at the old lady's sincere eyes, Jiang Qiucheng's eyes flashed with emotion, but her vigilance did not immediately diminish.

When going out, sometimes she has to be more careful. If the other person is telling the truth, then she will treat him sincerely, but if there is any secret, then she must have a way to deal with it.

After all, such pie-in-the-sky things are not common, but out of trust in his own intuition, Jiang Qiucheng planned to stay for two days to take a look, and if anything was wrong, he would withdraw immediately.

"Then...well, thank you for your kindness. I will stay here temporarily. When I find a job to make a living, I will buy something to thank you."

"I haven't asked you your last name yet?"

Seeing that Jiang Qiucheng was willing to accept her kindness, the smile on the old lady's face deepened.

"That's right. I see that you are alone and your luggage is so simple. I know that you don't have much money on hand. There are many places to spend money outside. What else can you do with the remaining rent? Do more."

"My surname is Hu, just call me Grandma Hu."

Jiang Qiucheng first took off his backpack and put it in a corner, then stood up and said. "Okay, thank you Grandma Hu. I'll put my things here first and go out for a walk."

"I won't take Wangcai out, let him stay in the house and sleep."

Jiang Qiucheng only took some important belongings with her. She planned to go out and see if there was any place hiring people.

When she first arrived, she didn't have enough money to start a business. The safest way was to find a job first, save more money, and wait for the rest later.

"Yeah, go ahead. I will close the door and won't let Wangcai run out."

Grandma Hu held on to the door frame and waved to Wangcai, who was not far away. Sensing the kindness of the other party, Wangcai wagged her tail and came over enthusiastically.

"Oh, good little dog, grandma is going to get you something to eat."

Looking at the two figures, one large and one small, slowly leaving, the corners of Jiang Qiucheng's mouth raised slightly. Animals have the keenest sense. It can be seen from Wangcai's performance that this Grandma Hu is indeed a kind old man.

After gathering his thoughts, Jiang Qiucheng turned around and walked out the door, heading towards the original market.

The afternoon sun filled the market. Compared with the busy hustle and bustle of the early morning, the market at this moment seemed much quieter. The vendors selling breakfast and fresh fruits and vegetables had already packed up their stalls according to the scheduled time, ending their busy day.

Both professions are extremely hard work. You have to work early rather than late. Things need to be ready before everyone gets up to work. It also requires a lot of physical activity, whether it's preparing raw materials or harvesting fruits and vegetables, it's all strenuous work. If there is bad weather or some big event, you may not be able to get out of the stall and the stability will not be strong.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qiucheng shook his head unconsciously. If it were her, she would at most be setting up a night market stall, so forget about the morning market.

Soon, she silently crossed out this option in her mind.

Jiang Qiucheng turned his attention to the shops lined up on both sides of the street. With so many shops, there must be a few that are hiring.

Suddenly her eyes lit up and she stopped in front of a clothing store, looking at the recruitment notice above and muttering softly.

"We are recruiting a worker to sell ready-made garments. The basic salary is two taels of silver per month, plus commission..."

"When it comes to selling things, you just have to talk. Staying in the shop all day long, without being exposed to the wind or rain, seems to be pretty good."

"I have practiced a lot with the caravan before. Selling clothes should be no different from selling tea or something like that."

Jiang Qiucheng reached out and touched her chin. After a brief hesitation, she stepped forward and walked inside.

No matter what, go in and ask first. If the negotiation doesn't work out, she can just find another one. It won't be a big problem after all.

The hustle and bustle of the street seemed to be isolated by this ancient wooden door. The waiter at the counter was wearing a dark blue cotton gown, with the hem hanging casually at his feet, looking a bit casual.

There was a bit of weariness on his face. He was supporting his head with one hand, and the other hand was unconsciously rubbing the abacus beads on the counter. His eyes were blurred and he looked very tired.

Stacked in the corner of the shop are a variety of fabrics, from bright silks to earthy cottons, in a variety of colors and textures. The wind blew by, bringing with it the gentle and subtle rustle of fabric.

The whole store is filled with a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere, as if time has slowed down at this moment. The laziness of the waiter added an air of laziness and spontaneity to the scene.
