Chapter 83

Why is it you

Walking a little distance from the main road, Aunt Fang took Linzhi through the small road and soon arrived at the other side of the road.

There was a row of shops here. She came to a half-open store and went up to take a photo of the door, "Is Xiaodan at home?"

Linzhi noticed that the sign was written on the sign, and then she realized that this was a cold water shop.

The cold water shop sells not really cold and white water, but some sugar water and juice mixed with saccharin, which is very popular among children. However, Lin Xueyi thinks these small stalls are unhygienic, and people often go to the hospital because they have bad stomachs, so they have been explicitly prohibited from buying snacks outside.

She hasn't really been to such a stall yet.

A sound of footsteps came from the store, followed by a man's voice, "She went to pull coal, wait a while before she came back... Sister Fang, why are you free to come today?"

The man stood in the door, Lin Zhi couldn't see his face clearly, but he felt that his voice seemed familiar.

"I have something to ask you." Aunt Fang said and frowned, "Your hand has not been cured yet?"

"The doctor said it would take half a month to remove the plaster...what do you think you have anything to do?"

"Don't there be two houses behind your store? Have you rented it out?"

"Who wants to rent?"

"My relative has a child and wants to find a place to live. I just think of you."

Aunt Fang waved to Linzhi to come over, and the people inside poked their heads out. The moment they saw Linzhi, they couldn't help but exclaim, "Why are you?"

"Do you know each other?" Aunt Fang looked at Lin Zhi curiously.

“I’ve seen it in the hospital before.”

Linzhi didn't expect that such a coincidence, the friend Aunt Fang mentioned was the middle-aged couple she met in the hospital last time. She stepped forward to say hello to the other party, "Hello Uncle Li."

Since they knew each other, the matter would be easy to deal with. Aunt Fang told him directly about Linzhi's house. It happened that there was a yard behind their store, which could be lived in. As long as he was willing to nod, Linzhi could move here.

"There is no one living in that room, and the key is that he can't live in either."

Li Quan simply took the two of them to the backyard. As soon as he entered, Linzhi saw several stoves and kettles of all sizes. There was a small door on the other wall, so he should be able to get out from here.

Inside were two rooms, one of which was piled with some firewood and debris, the other was thrown with straw and abandoned furniture, several pieces of the walls fell off, the windows and skylights were also broken, and the room was covered with dust and spider webs.

"This house has not been lived in for too long. I kept saying that I would make up for it if I have time, but I couldn't make up for it even if I have time."

Li Quan is a bricklayer. He is usually responsible for helping people build houses and repair houses. Last time he accidentally fell off the roof and broke his hand. Not only did he have no work for a month, he also had to pay a lot of medical expenses.

Aunt Fang looked at Lin Zhi apologetically, there was no place to stand, "Why do I accompany you to see other places?"

"It's a bit dirty here, but it should be able to stay."

Compared to what Linzhi saw before, she thought it was already pretty good. Just repair the windows and clean them up and it would be a good single room. Moreover, the landlord is someone he knows, so at least it is safer and more secure.

Li Quan looked at the little girl in front of him in surprise, "You really want to live here?"

This is like a haunted house. Lin Zhi is sure that she is not afraid?

Linzhi nodded, "If the price is cheap, I will rent it first."

"...You are Sister Fang's relative, so I have no worries to collect your money."

"That won't work. You still have to pay the rent. If you can trust me, I will rent it with you for three months first. Is it okay to pay seven yuan a month?"

It would be good if you could get more than seven yuan a month. Li Quan was about to agree, but he remembered that he didn't make up for it. "This store belongs to my wife, you have to rent it with her."

Moreover, Sun Xiaodan has to sell cold and white-boiled here every day, and I don’t know if he will dislike Linzhi for being in trouble.

Sun Xiaodan will not come back in a while. Lin Zhi was worried that Lin Huifen would change, so she asked Aunt Fang to go back first. She sent the person to the door, "I will book this place. If they agree, I will move here if I have time in the past two days."

"That house is so dirty, you will get sick if you live in it." Thinking of Linzhi's former bedroom and the current house, Aunt Fang felt really distressed, "Or why don't you go to my place, let's squeeze it first and find it if you have time."

"I've made a decision, Aunt Fang, believe me. I'll see you when I'm settled."

"...Okay, you know when I get off work, let's discuss it later." Anyway, Aunt Fang is not afraid of them bullying Linzhi. She was thinking about the work of the Lin family, so she had to say goodbye to Linzhi first.

When Linzhi returned to the store, Li Quan poured a glass of sugar water to her, "What kind of relative are you and Sister Fang? Why haven't you heard her mention it?"

"I am just a distant relative. I am from the countryside and want to do some small business in the city."

"Would you come here alone or should you take your husband over?"

"My husband is already ready. I don't have to wait by my side to find some work."

"Is it going so soon?"

When he thought that he was lying down and unconscious, his arm was still hanging, Li Quan couldn't help but curl his lips, saying that he was incomparable to young people.

As the two were talking, they heard a noise coming from outside. Li Quan quickly stood up, "It must be your sister-in-law who is back."

He walked to the yard and opened the back door. He saw Sun Xiaodan standing there with the cart, "Old Li, hurry up and bring me a bowl of water."

Li Quan responded, and when he turned around and went in, Sun Xiaodan saw a girl following him, "Are you a guest?"

After looking closely, Sun Xiaodan found that this person looked familiar, "You are not that..."

"Hello, Auntie, I'm Linzhi, you still remember me."

"Why don't you remember?" Sun Xiaodan didn't care about the coal in the car and walked straight in, "Come and buy drinks?"

"She is here to rent a house."

Li Quan brought a bowl of water to Sun Xiaodan, and told him what happened just now. Sun Xiaodan had to sigh, there was such a coincidence?

As the saying goes, it is said that when you are lucky, it is not difficult for Linzhi to rent a house, but Sun Xiaodan also thinks that house is too messy. "I have to open the door to do business this day and go home to take care of the children. I really don't have time to clean it up. If you want to live in it, you have to do it yourself."

"This is OK. As long as you want, I can repair it."

"You are a girl, how can you do these jobs?" Sun Xiaodan patted Li Quan. "In the afternoon, you can work on some cement, repair the holes in the wall, and then ask someone to change the glass. At least it will not be wet when it rains."
