Woman 30: I regained my life after divorce

This is a four-unit apartment building. You can tell how dirty and messy this place is from the garbage piled up at the door of each household.

The landlady walked in front with a smile on her face, as if she had endless energy.

Zhou Xinyao and Zhou Sen were walking behind, walking slower and slower, and could hardly keep up.

At the corner of the stairs on the sixth floor, my aunt finally stopped.

You two youngsters are not as good as an old woman like me. "Hurry up~ There are only two floors left."

Aunt greeted breathlessly.

Zhou Xinyao took a deep breath and prepared to go upstairs at all costs.

"Wait a minute, I really can't walk anymore~"

Zhou Sen leaned against the wall and gasped heavily. His body was not well yet, and climbing stairs was already a strenuous exercise for him.

The aunt grinned and called out, "Young man, there are only two floors left, work harder."

Seeing Zhou Sen gasping for breath, Zhou Xinyao asked anxiously, "Brother, why don't we go to the hospital? I'm afraid you're not fully recovered yet."

"Why go to the hospital? I'm fine now~"

Zhou Sen held back his stubbornness and walked upstairs angrily, reaching the eighth floor in one go.

My aunt then came to the door and took out a bunch of keys from her pocket.

"This room, 803~"

The aunt opened the door and waved to Zhou Xinyao and Zhou Sen, saying, "Come in and take a look."

Zhou Sen stepped into the room first, Zhou Xinyao and the landlady smiled at each other and then walked in.

After entering the house, Zhou Xinyao discovered that this was a small two-bedroom apartment with a small entrance hall of about one square meter at the door, a small living room on the left, and a kitchen on the right that could only accommodate one person.

This little room is indeed a little small.

"Let's go and take a look at the bedroom," my aunt called.

The two people followed my aunt and walked a few steps into the house.

Although the house is small, it is still a standard layout with two bedrooms and a bathroom in between.

But both bedrooms look very small, especially the second bedroom. As soon as you enter the room, you get on the bed and there is no space to move around.

"Isn't this bedroom too small?" Zhou Sen complained.

"Oh, it's not small anymore. This bed is big. Look, it's one and a half meters wide!" said my aunt, gesturing.

"That's a bit small, too small," Zhou Sen muttered, shaking his head.

"Why don't you two just live in the master bedroom? The second bedroom can be used as a dressing room or to store some sundries. Look, this master bedroom is quite spacious~"

My aunt hurried to the master bedroom, opened her arms, turned around twice, and smiled happily.

This master bedroom could indeed be a bit bigger, about ten square meters, but it can't really be called spacious.

Zhou Sen walked around the master bedroom and nodded with satisfaction.

This room is okay, but it feels like there's not much sunlight.

"This should be a double bedroom, right?" Zhou Xinyao asked, looking at her aunt.

"Shuangbei Bedroom? Hey, let me see~"

Zhou Sen hadn't noticed this yet. After Zhou Xinyao reminded him, he quickly took out his mobile phone and opened the compass.

"Zhou Min, you are right. It seems that these two bedrooms are facing north! It's not okay to face north. There is no sun."

My aunt's face fell instantly.

"The north side is also good. Besides, we go out to work during the day so how can we have time to bask in the sun? It doesn't matter whether it is north or south."

My aunt started brainwashing them.

"I think it's better to forget it. This house is expensive, but it's also so small and on the shady side. Forget it, forget it~"

Zhou Sen was about to go outside, talking to himself.

The aunt hurriedly chased after him and said, "Young man, let's put it this way. We are destined to be together. I will rent this house to you for 800 yuan a month."

Zhou Sen shook his head decisively, "No, I think the price is still too high."

"Then how much do you think is a suitable price?" asked the aunt angrily.

"Six hundred, not a cent more," Zhou Sen's attitude was also very firm.

"Six hundred? You really have the nerve to say that? This is a two-bedroom apartment. You want to rent it for six hundred? You're dreaming."

The aunt kept rolling her eyes at Zhou Sen, with all kinds of contempt and dissatisfaction written all over her face.

Zhou Sen felt a little embarrassed and asked in a low voice: "Then give me a discount!"

"No, eight hundred is the bottom line. It can't be cheaper by a penny."

My aunt put her hands on her hips and replied arrogantly.

Zhou Sen hesitated for a moment and looked at Zhou Xinyao.

"Zhou Min, do you think this house is good?"

"Brother, otherwise..."

Zhou Xinyao wanted to say: "Why not just forget it."

The landlady didn't give her the chance and rushed to say, "Girl, this house is so nice, it's very suitable for you two. Look, it has a refrigerator, a sofa, a gas tank and a range hood. All it needs is for you two to move in with your bags."

As the aunt spoke, she held Zhou Xinyao's hands with both hands.

"Girl, just listen to your aunt. There is no cheaper house here than this one."

"But……"

"Come on, Auntie will show you the numbers on the electricity and water meters. We will write them down together later."

The landlady pulled Zhou Xinyao to the kitchen without saying anything, not giving her any chance to refuse.

"I've written it all down, come on~ add Auntie on WeChat."

The aunt's series of actions were just to quickly win over Zhou Xinyao. She also noticed that Zhou Xinyao seemed embarrassed to refuse.

"I... I don't have a cell phone," Zhou Xinyao said with embarrassment that made her face blush.

“You don’t have a cell phone?”

The landlady thought Zhou Xinyao was lying to her and immediately wanted to turn against her.

Seeing Zhou Xinyao's shy and panicked look, Zhou Sen quickly came over.

"Auntie, my sister lost her phone. Please add me on WeChat first and I will transfer the money to you."

"Is that so? Then I can add you~"

The landlady burst into laughter again.

"Okay, I've added it. Just give me 5600 as a deposit and six as payment," said the aunt happily.

"Didn't they say it's a deposit of one and three? Why is it a deposit of one and six?" Zhou Sen exclaimed.

"A deposit of one and three months in advance costs one thousand yuan a month, and 800 yuan is the price for a deposit of one and six months in advance," said the aunt with a serious expression.

"No, I will only pay for three months, otherwise I won't rent it," Zhou Sen said uncompromisingly.

"Okay, okay, then just pay for three months first. It's 3200 in total, transfer it to me now," said my aunt unhappily.

Zhou Sen hesitated for a moment and transferred 3200 to the landlord's aunt.

The landlady took the money in seconds and then her face was full of smiles. Her expression changed really quickly.

"Here's a key for you. Take it and don't lose it." The landlady took a key off the key plate and placed it on the table.

"Can't you give me another one?" Zhou Sen asked resentfully.

"I only have two in total, so I can only give you one. If that doesn't work, you can go downstairs and get another one. It won't cost more than ten dollars."

Zhou Sen was too lazy to argue with the landlady, so he stopped talking.

"Then I'll be leaving first. If you have anything, just contact me on WeChat."
