Rebirth in the 90s: Pack up and prepare for demolition

Chapter 238 Ruthless Rejection

Both couples were stunned for a moment, and the older woman stood up and said, "This...this is so embarrassing!"

The furniture in this room could be sold for a lot of money. In her opinion, this small landlord was already very kind, and now he had made such a big gift. She really didn't know how to thank him.

They worked in Haishi, and it was inevitable that they would warm up to people from their hometown. Even if they were not from the same hometown, as strangers in this city, they would hug each other and keep each other warm when they met.

When everyone gets together, they inevitably talk about their recent situation. The most discussed topics are nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation in this big city.

She knew of a fellow villager whose landlord was incredibly stingy. The villager and the landlord lived in the same courtyard, and the landlord would frequently enter the villager's house to check if there was any damage to the furniture. He would even complain if the villager left the lights on a little longer while eating after work at night. Not to mention when the villager was washing clothes, the landlord would implore him to save water.

When the fellow villagers complained to them, they all said they couldn't understand it. The electricity bill was not used in vain, he also had to pay for it, and the water was well water and he didn't have to pay for it at all. What was the landlord so worried about?

If the rent wasn't so cheap, he really wouldn't want to live there. He sometimes wondered if the landlord was too controlling and no one else wanted to live there, so he had to lower the rent.

The older woman felt from the bottom of her heart that Ye Ke was comfortable renting this yard.

Not only is there no landlord to manage the rent, but the couple also has fewer problems. The landlord doesn't charge extra for utilities, leaving them to pay for everything themselves. Most importantly, the landlord doesn't come to collect the rent in advance, but instead collects it at the agreed time.

Now that the house was being demolished, the landlord was even more generous and gave them enough time to move. Not only did he let them live there for another month for free, he also returned the house for that month.

That’s two months’ rent in total. If they save a little, it can be used as three months’ living expenses.

Not only have they received so many benefits from the landlord, but now the landlord also wants to give them the furniture. This... they have met a great person!

The middle-aged woman rubbed her hands together excitedly, not knowing what to say.

Ye Ke waved his hand, "It's nothing. If you don't want it, it would be a shame to demolish it and destroy it later."

The two young couples looked incredulous. How could they smash it? Even if it was just old furniture, it would make a lot of money if it was sold. Why would they waste it?

They all had an "I understand" expression on their faces, and all four of them looked at her with gratitude.

Ye Ke touched his nose uncomfortably and said, "This is really not a big deal, so if you can move out, just move out. You don't have to leave any for me."

She said this and left in a hurry.

God knows, she may have felt a little compassion, but she didn't give it away for no reason.

Some of the furniture in these old houses in Hai City was brought in when the house was purchased, and some was cheap old furniture that Ye Ke bought later.

It wasn't particularly valuable to begin with, and if she were to handle the demolition herself, she'd have to pay someone to do it. The money from selling the furniture, minus the money for hiring someone, wasn't much left, and it was a waste of time.

It would be better to give it to the tenants as her best wishes for them to settle down in Haishi in the future.

After Ye Ke left, the two couples in the yard looked at each other excitedly, and the middle-aged woman wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

She discussed with her husband, "This is really great news. Do you remember the empty yard that Lao Yu introduced to you?"

The middle-aged man scratched his head and remembered, "Oh, that..."

As he was speaking, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes, we can rent that empty yard now."

The empty yard was introduced to them by their co-worker Lao Yu. It was close to where they worked and the price was very cheap. The only regret was that it was empty and there was nothing in it.

If they were sure they wanted to stay in Haishi for a long time, renting the place and buying some old furniture wouldn't be a bad idea. But they had only been in Haishi for a little over a year, and everything was still unknown, so they didn't dare spend their earnings so lavishly.

Now that I have these old furniture, isn’t it just right to rent that yard?

Thinking about the rent they could save in the future, the couple felt warm in their hearts and were full of anticipation for their future life in Hai City.

The middle-aged woman thought about the courtyard that Lao Yu had introduced, and the layout was similar to the current courtyard. She looked at her husband hesitantly.

The middle-aged man nodded to her.

The middle-aged woman nodded and asked another young couple in the yard, "Have you found a house? If not, would you like to come with us? We went to see a yard a few days ago..."

Although the rent of that courtyard was already very cheap, the middle-aged woman still wanted to find someone to share the burden with the idea of ​​saving as much as possible.

It just so happened that both families were the kind of people who didn't cause trouble and got along well with each other, so she thought she might as well ask them to share the house with her again.

She was afraid of being laughed at, so she didn't dare to tell anyone. But deep down, she actually had a little delusion that she also wanted to settle down in this prosperous Hai City...

She didn't ask for a big or exquisite room, even a small one would be fine so she could bring her two children over.

She has bad luck and no opportunities, but she can provide for her two children...

After Ye Ke returned, he told Cheng Jiayi about this matter. Cheng Jiayi sighed and said, "This is a good thing."

Ye Ke had only seen the two families now, but Cheng Jiayi was different. She had seen them when they first moved in. Back then, their attire and mental outlook were completely out of place in this city.

It's obvious that they've been living a hard life...

When I had dinner with Liu Yiyi the next day, Liu Yiyi's face was full of smiles.

Although the Fang family had not completely moved out of her house, she felt that the Fang family would not dare to cause any trouble, so she was in a particularly good mood.

The restaurant they made an appointment to meet at was chosen by Liu Yiyi. It was just a small restaurant in an alley, not a high-end restaurant.

Liu Yiyi helped Ye Ke wash the dishes and introduced, "The chef of this restaurant is a descendant of an imperial chef. My grandfather used to bring me here often. He missed me so much during the two years I was in Guangzhou."

Before she returned to Hai City, her grandfather acted like a spoiled child and insisted that she come to the restaurant to pack two dishes to take back.

But she rejected my suggestion mercilessly. In the current weather, the food would go bad if I took it back.

Ye Ke took a look at this quaint shop. Although it was small, it was decorated in a very charming way. And judging from the boss's greeting attitude, it was obvious that the customers were all regular customers.
