Reborn in a virtual world, before the house was taken away

Chapter 474 Renting a House

Upon seeing this, Feng Qingqing smiled gratefully.

After saying goodbye to her, I went back to my room.

After tidying up the room a bit, I left the guesthouse.

Regarding the house, she couldn't rely entirely on Fang Xiaohong; she had to personally inquire in each alley.

Classes start tomorrow, so there won't be much time left to look for a place to live.

After leaving the guesthouse, she did not go to Carp Alley first.

First, we arrived at an alley next to Carp Alley.

The alley is long and looks like it has quite a few residents. Apart from the first few rows of tenement buildings, further back there are courtyards of varying sizes.

Feng Qingqing knows how to eat. These courtyards are just like the ones she bought that morning. If the family is well-off, then they are naturally detached courtyards.

The downside of the house is that many residents live together in one courtyard, which not only has a diverse population but also makes the environment noisy.

It was a little past one or two o'clock in the afternoon, and many elderly people were basking in the sun.

Feng Qingqing asked several people, and they all shook their heads at the idea of ​​renting a house.

Some people simply don't know which houses are available for rent, while others believe that there are no houses available for rent in their alley at the moment.

Hearing this, her heart sank.

It seems that the housing issue is still quite tricky.

After spending about thirty or forty minutes in this alley, she turned and entered Carp Alley.

That is, number 43, which she went to transfer ownership of this morning.

Coincidentally, just as I turned into the alley, I heard someone talking about selling houses.

"Would I lie to you? The professor's courtyard at number 43 has been sold."

"Really? That house can actually be sold? Who's the sucker?"

"Who can argue with that? You spend the money, but you still can't live in the house."

"If you ask me, it's those few companies that are being unfair. People paid money to buy the houses, so why shouldn't they be allowed to live there?"

"You know what kind of people those families are, it's no use talking to them. Besides, where are you going to ask them to move out?"

Unexpectedly, the news that she bought house number 43 was leaked so quickly in such a short time.

Or perhaps it wasn't a leak at all, but rather someone simply didn't take it seriously and casually let it slip out.

After all, the house has been up for sale for quite some time now.

Once it's sold, it's bound to be publicized.

Upon hearing this news, Feng Qingqing was naturally not in a good mood.

It seems that her house at number 43 is quite well-known, at least in Carp Alley.

Of course, this fame is not a good thing.

In one afternoon, Feng Qingqing ran through all the surrounding alleys before finally finding a small room in the farthest alley.

The alley is a bit far from Peking University Medical School, but she has a bicycle in her room, and it only takes her about six or seven minutes to ride there.

The house available for rent is in a large courtyard.

The courtyard originally housed four families. The family that rented the room to him was trying to earn some rent money, so they made do with their own meager living and set aside a room for him.

Feng Qingqing was not satisfied with the house.

The environment and the people around her were quite complicated. It was really inconvenient for her to be with two children.

But now, she hasn't found any other houses.

At this moment, she finally realized how difficult her housing conditions were.

Moreover, I am very pleased that she was able to buy house number 43.

After all, such a large yard and such a large house would normally be something she wouldn't have the chance to buy.

This afternoon, as she passed through Carp Alley, the courtyard gate happened to be open. She stood at the gate, glanced around briefly, and then walked away.

Although it was just a quick glance, it was still clear that the house had been heavily altered after it was allocated to the current residents.

It has completely lost its original appearance.

The houses are still the same few rooms, but the yard is no longer a yard. It's completely full, and every space that could be used to put things has been taken up.

Ultimately, Feng Qingqing had no choice but to rent the house.

She planned in her heart that she would wait until He Yong'an came over at the latest, and then she would take back number 43.

After taking the house back, it will naturally need to be properly repaired, which will take some time.

But once the house is reclaimed, these things will naturally follow soon.

Thinking about the time it took He Yong'an to arrive, it was probably only about ten days.

Including the renovation time, it will take about a month from start to finish.

She could wait that long.

After paying the deposit and a month's rent, she received the key to the house.

The room is a single, rectangular room. It can fit a bed inside, and the outside can be used for entertaining guests, dining, etc.

As for the kitchen, there isn't a proper kitchen here. Usually, people just set up a simple stove under the eaves of their houses to cook.

She won't be staying for very long, so these simple things will do.

After getting the key, she returned to her room at the guesthouse, quickly packed up her luggage, and put it all in her personal storage room.

I casually picked up a shoulder bag and went to the reception hall.

Fang Xiaohong was still in the lobby, and she seemed a little puzzled as Fang Xiaohong came out carrying a bag.

Soon, she learned that Feng Qingqing wanted to check out.

She found a house.

Fang Xiaohong, who happened to be home for lunch and had asked her mother about renting a place, found herself with the perfect opportunity to explain:

"Sis, that's great! You've found a place to rent."

"I was wondering how to tell you this. My mom said there haven't been any rental listings around here lately, and that's what's been bothering me."

They quickly inquired about the location of her current rented apartment.

Upon hearing which alley it was, she pursed her lips before explaining:

"Sister, let me tell you, that alley is notoriously chaotic around here. If you find another suitable place in the future, you should move out."

Judging from Feng Qingqing's appearance and demeanor, she knew that Feng Qingqing, who had two children, was not short of money.

Unfortunately, there's a housing shortage everywhere these days, and sometimes money can't solve the problem.

I felt quite helpless.

Her second brother has never gotten married, not because the family doesn't have enough houses; otherwise, he would have gotten married long ago.

However, being able to rent a place is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Since Feng Qingqing came to check out, the two chatted briefly, completed the check-out procedures, and then left the guesthouse.

After leaving the gate, she went straight to the kindergarten.

By the time she picked up the two children, it was already around 4:30 in the afternoon.

She took her two children and went straight to the house she had just rented.

As she approached the alley, she found a secluded corner, took out a huge bundle, and tied it to the back of her bicycle.
