My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 88 to rent a house

He first introduced the basic situations of the two housing options.

Then he continued:

"...The first house I mentioned is fairly new, a proper small building.

The one with a courtyard in the back is larger but a bit old.

That’s the situation.

Time is a bit tight and housing in the county is scarce, so there aren’t many options available.

If you think it’s acceptable, I can take half a day off tomorrow to show you around,

If you don’t like either, I’ll ask around some more.

What do you think?"

Meng Shichang actually thought the house with the courtyard was quite nice.

It may cost a dollar more, but having your own entrance, that convenience!

The Lin family could have a temporary place to settle when they go to the county.

Upon hearing how carefully he had inquired, Li Xiuli’s face showed a grateful smile.

"Sure, what’s not to be fine with it? Thanks to Tangtang’s uncle for the trouble.

You don’t need to take time off tomorrow; it’s not right to keep you from work all the time.

You just tell us the place, and I’ll take Tangtang to see it."

Meng Shichang thought it over and felt it made sense.

He had just taken half a day off today; it did seem inappropriate to do so again tomorrow.

But he still had to be polite.

"...You sure you’ll manage?"

Lin Tang laughed, "Uncle, don’t worry, I went to high school in the county, I’m familiar with the place."

Meng Shichang slapped his thigh, suddenly realizing, "Right, right, I forgot about that."

Then, he gave Lin Tang the addresses of the two houses.

Having finished discussing the important matters, he stood up.

"I should get going. It’s rare that I took half a day off; I want to go home and personally cook a meal for Anan and the boys; they enjoy it."

"No need for you and Tangtang to see me out; we are family, no need for formalities, just rest."

With that, he headed out.

Li Xiuli and Lin Tang naturally wouldn’t just stand there like fools.

They saw him to the door.

They watched as Meng Shichang rode away on his bicycle.

Only then did the mother and daughter return inside.

"Your uncle really gets things done efficiently; he just asked this morning and now we’ve already got news," Li Xiuli remarked.

"Yep," Lin Tang agreed wholeheartedly.

That’s the advantage of having connections.

Just a few inquiries, and you’ve got all sorts of information.

Lin Tang: "Mom, are you going with me to the county tomorrow?"

Li Xiuli looked at her daughter with a warm and loving expression.

"What else? You want to go alone?

What if you get cheated? Better that I go with you."

She minded losing out on her work points, but Tangtang’s matters were more important; naturally, the house renting took precedence.

Lin Tang’s eyes curled slightly, her pupils shimmering like stars.

"Mom is the best to me."

Li Xiuli was charmed and delighted, responding, "Look at you, as your mom, isn’t it right for me to treat you well!"

Daughters sure know how to talk sweet.

Not like those brats, each one knows only how to annoy her.

At night, in the room of Lin Lu and Li Xiuli.

Li Xiuli was making the bed.

Lin Lu sat on a stool, pinching a cigarette, not smoking it, just occasionally smelling it.

"...Sigh." He suddenly heaved a sigh.

Li Xiuli turned her head and glanced at him.

"If you want to smoke, go outside. What’s with the sighing."

The mention of smoking brought a sweetness to her heart.

Ever since Tangtang said that smoking inside the house was harmful to the family’s health, the old man had never smoked indoors again.

The head of the household might not be very capable, but he was hardworking and had his family in his heart, much better than other men in the village.

Lin Lu sighed again, "Am I thinking about smoking? I’m worried about our daughter."

"Worried about our daughter? What’s happened to Tangtang that you need to worry?" Li Xiuli was puzzled.

"Why shouldn’t I worry?

Our daughter is about to leave home and live in the county."

This is renting a house, not living in the school dormitory.

"If something happens, what can we do?"

There won’t be anyone to help.

Li Xiuli thought about it and felt it was true.

There were even human traffickers kidnapping people on the streets in the county.

If thieves or something else showed up, then...

"What do you suggest we do? What if Tangtang gets targeted?" As Li Xiuli’s mind raced, she began to worry.

Seeing that his wife was frightened, Lin Lu hurriedly tried to comfort her, "We shouldn’t be so unlucky."

"Tangtang is tough.

If there are any bad guys, Tangtang would tear them apart at the door, so don’t scare yourself."

Li Xiuli: Weren’t you the one who started this?

Li Xiuli glared at Lin Lu, "You’re the one who has said everything, what else can I say? Let’s go to sleep."

But honestly, the concerns of the head of the family did have some merit.

When looking at the house tomorrow, the safety of where her daughter will be staying must come first.

Lin Lu touched his nose feeling a bit guilty.

They went to bed and slept.

The next day, early in the morning.

Li Xiuli took Lin Tang to the county again.

They first visited the small apartment building Meng Shichang had talked about.

This building was exactly like the Staff Building where Lin Anan’s family lived; it looked clean indeed.

The room was on the second floor.

As they went upstairs, they encountered a middle-aged woman returning to her room after emptying a chamber pot.

The woman stopped when she saw strangers.

First, she looked Li Xiuli up and down.

Her eyes lingered on the patches of Li Xiuli’s clothes with a disdainful expression.

It was as if she was looking down from high above.

Then she turned to look at Lin Tang.

The woman was clearly dazzled for a moment by Lin Tang’s delicate and beautiful face.

Afterward, as if she had thought of something, she sneered dismissively.

"What are you doing here? This is a Staff Building, not just anyone can come in, especially those country bumpkins from the countryside."

Li Xiuli was a decent country person.

Even though she was feisty, she felt intimidated in front of city folk.

Especially considering her daughter might live here, she hesitated and didn’t immediately retort.

Lin Tang looked at the woman’s arrogant manner with a slight chill in her eyes.

It was as if a cold light was swirling within.

She chuckled scornfully and spoke coldly.

"What’s wrong with being a country bumpkin? Country bumpkins didn’t eat your family’s bread or drink your family’s water.

Your family’s rice, flour, and vegetables are all grown by country bumpkins. If you dare, stop eating them."

Her voice was soft and pleasant, but her words carried a chill.

The woman was taken aback for a moment.

Lin Tang glanced at her with a cold look and pulled her mother down the stairs.

As they walked, she said:

"Mom, let’s not look at this place anymore.

If such people are living here, even if they let me stay for free, I wouldn’t want to.

What kind of people are these? Their nostrils are up in the sky... utterly disgusting..."

Her voice was not held back at all, enraging the woman to the point of turning purple with rage.

After they left, Li Xiuli’s face showed a look of worry.

"Tangtang, your uncle found two places, and if this one is no good, and the other one is no good either, then we have nothing left..."

"Let’s go have a look first, and if it isn’t good, we’ll talk then," Lin Tang comforted.

"That’s the only option."

Having said this, the mother and daughter went to view another house. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Ten or so minutes later, Lin Tang knocked on the courtyard gate.

"Is anyone there?" she asked as she knocked.

After asking twice, an elderly voice came from inside.

"Who is it? Wait a moment!"

Shortly after, an old lady with gray hair appeared.

"Who are you looking for?"
