Renting a House

Chen Shu's eyes immediately lit up when she heard Zhou De's words. "Let's rent it, hubby. What's there to be afraid of? We don't usually do anything unconscionable. When the time comes, just like this young man said, we'll find a Taoist priest to perform an exorcism."

Zhou De thought about it and agreed. It was just used to put memorial tablets. It was not something too strange. Wasn't there still a pile of ancestral tablets in the Zhou family's old residence?

Eldest brother and Second brother were still living with the memorial tablets daily, and nothing had happened.

"We don't believe in these supernatural things," Zhou Yun advised. "There's nothing to be afraid of if we don't believe in them."

With the support of his wife and daughter, Zhou De nodded at the young man and said, "Alright, let's go and view the house now."

The young man was delighted, as though he was about to get that huge commission.

Zhou De's family of three dragged a suitcase each and arrived at the neighborhood where the mansion was located. They were instantly dumbfounded. The houses here were not cheap. Buying one would cost at least 30 million yuan.

Normally, if one were to rent, they would not be able to get it below 50,000 yuan a month.

"Are you sure this house is in this neighborhood?" asked Zhou De as he pulled at the young man.

"I'm sure." The young man nodded. "Look, the landlord sent this address."

As he spoke, the young man brought his phone closer to Zhou De. Zhou De looked at it and finally mustered up his courage to say, "Since we're here, let's go up and take a look."

After saying that, Zhou De gallantly stepped forward. Chen Shu, who was beside him, could not help but cover her eyes and laugh.

When they saw the house, Zhou De and Chen Shu were flabbergasted. They had thought that it was just a house for placing memorial tablets and that the renovation was not very meticulous. It might even be a house that was not in move-in condition.

The two of them never expected that this house could be considered luxurious. The two of them gulped in disbelief and looked at the young agent, asking softly, "Young man, is this really 800 yuan a month?"

In fact, they had already planned to leave Deer City. After all, they had no place to stay and could not afford a house. They might even lose their jobs. However, it did not stop their eyes from shining when they saw such a wonderful house.

Besides, even if they went to a hotel that night and booked two rooms, wouldn't it already cost 500 to 600 yuan?

This house only cost 800 yuan a month. It was a good deal.

The young man moved closer to Zhou De and Chen Shu and said, "Brother, Sister, there's definitely no problem with this house. The price is also the real price. Looking at the cleanliness of this room, the landlord is obviously a very particular person, arranging for someone to clean it every day. Now that you're moving in, you don't have to clean it again. As long as you can accept it, this house is really great."

Chen Shu still did not dare to believe it and asked, "Young man, tell me the truth. Is there anything fishy going on? For example, something like spirits haunting the place?"

When Zhou Yun heard this, she could not help but smile. Chen Shu really had a good imagination.

The young man immediately waved his hand and said, "There's no such thing, Sister. I'm also an honest person. When I introduced the house just now, didn't I honestly tell you about the situation? Don't worry, I still have my professional ethics."

Zhou Yun looked around and said, "This house is indeed not bad. There's no sinister aura. We'll find a Taoist priest to go and get rid of the bad luck. There shouldn't be any problem."

Of course, there wouldn't be a problem. She had just spent all her savings on this house.

In order to find an excuse to lower the price, Zhou Yun had no choice but to say that this was a house specially used to place memorial tablets.

Zhou De nodded and said, "Alright then. We'll rent this place. How do I sign the contract?"

"The landlord isn't here right now, but will come over in two days. We'll sign the contract then," the young man said. "You guys can stay here for now."

"Do you need a deposit or something?" Zhou De asked warily.

"One month's rental as deposit and three month's rent. It's cheap," the young man blurted out.

Zhou De and Chen Shu looked at each other, then expressed that they would rent it.

The young man chuckled and gave the keys to Zhou De. He said, "These are the keys from the landlord. The landlord said that if you're worried, you can change the lock."

Zhou De and Chen Shu nodded joyfully and sent the young man off.

Looking back at the huge mansion, the couple careened about the place euphorically.

The four bedrooms didn't differ much from one another. They all had their own washrooms, walk-in closets, and large balconies. Zhou Yun randomly chose a room and went in.
