Woman 30: I regained my life after divorce

The two men walked through the urban village and came to the gate of a community behind the village.

Judging from the appearance of the community, this should be the community where people from nearby villages relocated.

A few old men were sitting on chairs at the door, lazily basking in the sun, and a few aunts were picking vegetables and chatting.

When Zhou Xinyao and the other person came over, an old man quickly opened his squinting eyes and walked towards them.

"Young man, looking for a room?"

Zhou Sen smiled and nodded, "Looking for a house, do you have any cheaper but similar houses here?"

"Yes, there is one at my house. Do you want to go up and take a look? It's in the building next to it."

The old man pointed to a building right next to the entrance of the community and said.

Zhou Sen hesitated for a moment and asked, "How much per month?"

The old man glanced at Zhou Sen, then looked at Zhou Xinyao.

"You two are living together? I happen to have a one-bedroom apartment at home. It costs 1,200 yuan a month and is fully furnished and equipped with appliances."

Zhou Sen was startled when he heard the price. The amplitude of the shaking scared Zhou Xinyao, who thought he was going to fall.

"How much? Twelve thousand?" Zhou Sen screamed.

"Twelve thousand. It can be cheaper if you rent it for a long time," the old man replied with a smile.

"It's too expensive! It's almost as much as half a year's rent for my previous house," Zhou Sen shouted, shaking his head.

"There are cheaper ones, would you like to take a look?"

The old man asked.

"Forget it, let's look at something else."

After Zhou Sen finished speaking, he took big steps and prepared to leave.

"Young man, don't leave in a hurry. I have a cheap house there, only 600 yuan a month."

An auntie nearby put down the food in her hand and trotted towards them.

This price was barely acceptable to Zhou Sen, so he stopped.

"Six hundred dollars a month, right?"

"Yes, it's just in front. Do you want to come with me to take a look?" asked my aunt with a smile.

"It's okay to take a look, if it's really that price."

Zhou Sen muttered.

"Tsk, young man. Don't listen to her. Her house is on the eighth floor and there's no elevator. It would be tiring to go upstairs," the old man said quickly.

"Old man, could you please stop talking too much? Do you think all young people are like you? They can climb up to the eighth floor in one breath without even taking a breath!"

The aunt then looked at Zhou Sen with a smile and said, "Isn't that right, young man?"

"The eighth floor is indeed a bit too high. Is there a shorter one? And I changed my mind and plan to rent a two-bedroom house, which will be better."

Zhou Sen was afraid that it would be too awkward for the two of them to be in the same room. After all, there are differences between men and women, and he still cared so much about Zhou Xinyao.

"Brother, it's okay. One room is fine. Besides, I..."

Zhou Xinyao thought that she would just stay for a few days and then leave, so there was no need to rent a two-bedroom house.

But she was afraid that speaking too bluntly would make Zhou Sen sad, so she didn't say the second half.

But even if Zhou Xinyao didn't say it clearly, Zhou Sen could understand the meaning of her words.

"Zhou Min, you can leave if you want, but even if you stay here for one day, I will provide you with the best."

Zhou Sen said resolutely.

Then, Zhou Sen turned to look at his aunt and said seriously, "I want to rent a two-bedroom house. If the price is right, we can decide now."

"Okay, I also have a two-bedroom apartment, also on the eighth floor, but the price is cheaper. If you can rent it for three months, the monthly rent will be one thousand!" said the aunt with a smile.

"Brother, there's really no need~"

"Zhou Min, listen to me. If you refuse me again, I will be angry," Zhou Sen said without a doubt.

Fearing that Zhou Sen and Zhou Xinyao would go back on their word, the aunt hurriedly urged them to walk into the community.

"Come with me, it's inside~"

Seeing that Zhou Xinyao seemed unhappy, the aunt directly snatched the bag from Zhou Xinyao's hand.

"This girl is so beautiful~ Let me help you get the things, don't tire yourself out~"

Zhou Xinyao really didn't want Zhou Sen to spend so much money. She knew that the 50,000 yuan was not easy for Zhou Sen to earn.

But Zhou Sen was determined to rent a house here.

Led by their aunt, the two walked through the entire community and arrived at the innermost building.

Zhou Xinyao only now realized that this community had only one gate, the one they had just entered through.

The distance from that door to the downstairs is about three or four hundred meters, which can really make people doubt their lives.

After walking all the way, Zhou Sen was so tired that he was out of breath.

"Auntie, let me ask if there are other gates in this community. I think I only saw one gate."

The aunt smiled awkwardly, "There were originally two doors, the other one is right there~"

My aunt pointed casually to a place not far away.

Zhou Sen and Zhou Xinyao both looked in the direction of their aunt's finger. There was indeed an exit not far away, but the big iron door had been locked and it looked like it had not been used for a long time.

"Hey~ why is the door locked?" Zhou Sen muttered.

The aunt smiled innocently, "I don't know either~"

In fact, what the aunt knew was that because one more gate required more security guards, and the owners of the community were unwilling to pay, they closed one gate.

Apart from the tenants, there are a group of old men and women living here. Of course, they are unwilling to pay this money. They would rather walk a few more steps than spend a penny more.

Seeing that Zhou Sen was about to back out, the aunt quickly pointed to another railing and said, "See, there's a hole there. Some young people go out from there to get to work. You can also go there. It should save you a lot of trouble."

As my aunt was speaking, two young men nimbly crawled in through the hole, just like they were crawling through a dog hole.

Zhou Sen glanced at Zhou Xinyao, smiled bitterly and said, "Let's go through the main gate from now on."

Zhou Xinyao smiled slightly and nodded.

"It's in this building. We're finally here~"

After coming downstairs, my aunt let out a long sigh and shook her waist. It was obvious that she was very tired from the journey.

After taking a breath, the aunt said, "Let's go up and take a look~"

"Let's go~"

Zhou Sen lifted the package with all his strength and prepared to climb to the eighth floor in one breath.

Zhou Xinyao frowned and whispered, "Brother, how about putting this bag downstairs first? Just in case..."

Zhou Sen's eyes lit up, and he said with sudden enlightenment: "I understand what you mean, let's put the bag here first."

The two of them put the bag behind the door together, and Zhou Sen even tucked it inside for fear that it would be taken away.

"Don't worry, no one will take it," said my aunt with a smile.

"I hope~"

Zhou Sen confirmed again that no one saw him, then he walked upstairs with peace of mind.
