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

Chapter 296 The Incident 6

"Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, are there any houses for rent here?"

The person speaking was naturally Feng Qingqing, who had come here to inquire about information.

Although Feng Qingqing was not familiar with this area, she noticed that the farmers and the factories were not far apart.

This location is much more convenient than living in other parts of the county town and working in those factories.

Therefore, she mustered up the courage to go up and ask if there were any houses for rent.

In her opinion, it wouldn't matter much even if she didn't have it.

But in her opinion, the probability of being able to rent it out was still extremely high.

The elderly men and women present looked at the young woman, who appeared to be fair-skinned and not very old, with a slightly puzzled expression.

No one was in a hurry to answer.

Feng Qingqing knew that time was of the essence and she didn't have time to waste with these old men and women.

Knowing the preferences of these elderly folks in the countryside, they were probably guessing her identity when they saw her and didn't rush to speak.

She quickly walked over to the nearest elderly woman, took out a handful of candy from her pocket, and handed two pieces to her.

The person on the side spoke up:

"Grandpas and grandmas, I'm sorry to bother you, but I happen to have some White Rabbit milk candies in my pocket. If you don't mind, you can give them to your grandchildren to sweeten their mouths."

Let's not even mention the old lady who was suddenly given two White Rabbit milk candies by Feng Qingqing.

A warm smile instantly appeared on his face.

Everyone else present, seeing Feng Qingqing's actions, instantly became enthusiastic as well.

Watching the girl quickly distribute two candies to everyone present, and recalling her question, the voices under the small tree suddenly became several times louder than before.

He who takes a man's money is bound to do his bidding; he who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding.

Although the girl looked young, she was very generous and open-minded, and the question she asked was not about anything important.

Therefore, after realizing the question the girl had asked, they all rushed to answer it.

"I heard that Old Zhang's house is going to be rented out?"

"Oh dear, don't belittle this girl's house, Old Zhang's house. I think Old Li's house to the east is quite nice."

The person who spoke first was quite displeased to hear someone refute him, feeling that this person had made him lose face in front of the girl.

"Old Li's house, although it is clean, is too small for its size."

A young woman came over to inquire about housing; she wanted to find a comfortable place to stay.

Everyone noticed that although Feng Qingqing was dressed simply in everyday clothes, she was still dressed very respectably.

Look at her: her skin is snow-white, her hair is jet black, and her complexion is rosy. And she gives everyone two White Rabbit milk candies as soon as she makes a move.

You should know that White Rabbit milk candy is a rare treat for them now.

Let alone giving it to strangers like them.

This suggests that the girl must come from a very well-off family.

They should look down on houses with poor environments, overcrowded populations, and cramped spaces.

Therefore, when making recommendations, these people tend to recommend houses with better conditions.

Hearing this man say this, everyone agreed wholeheartedly, and a moment of silence fell over the crowd.

It's not that people don't want to talk about it now, it's just that there aren't any good houses to recommend.

Otherwise, even considering the two White Rabbit candies I'm holding right now, I'd have to start explaining.

There was a brief moment of silence.

Suddenly, a woman in her fifties slapped her thigh and laughed loudly, saying:

"Oh dear, how could I forget about this place? The old Cao family at the far east end, I heard they're going to rent out their newly built house soon."

His house was recently built and no one has lived there yet, so it must be quite expensive.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard her say that.

Without him.

After the house was built, it was originally intended for Old Cao's youngest son, who worked as a temporary worker in a textile factory, to use for his wedding.

Who knew that before the wedding, the youngest son of the Cao family had some incredible luck and managed to get married ahead of time through his fiancée's connections.

Both of them were formal employees of the textile factory, and thanks to his father-in-law's connections, they were allocated a one-bedroom apartment.

Although the house wasn't big, it was fine for the newlyweds.

Moreover, the textile factory's staff quarters were very close to his home, making it convenient for him to come and go.

Although the Cao family built a new house for their youngest son's wedding, they ultimately didn't use it. However, since their youngest son was allocated a house, they were still happy.

However, building this house cost a lot of money, even emptying the family's savings, to finally build it.

The house was originally intended for their son, but now that he can no longer use it, the family is very reluctant to waste the new house.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a few days, he announced that his newly built house was going to be rented out.

The villagers were extremely surprised.

But after understanding it clearly, it became clear.

After all, compared to the hefty monthly rent, living in that house is fine.

After all, his youngest son won't be living there anymore.

Then everyone started discussing it amongst themselves.

"Yes, yes, how come I didn't remember? That house was newly built, the yard was just the right size, very exquisite, and the houses inside were all new, we haven't lived there yet, they're very clean."

"Yes, I heard there's a well in that courtyard, which makes cooking and daily life extremely convenient."

"There's also a small vegetable garden behind that yard."

Just as everyone was discussing animatedly, a middle-aged woman in her forties, standing not far away, suddenly spoke up with some confusion:

“I said, is Old Cao’s house rented out? It looks like someone has been living there these past few days, and there are lights on occasionally at night.”

Everyone looked at the middle-aged woman in her forties and knew that she was the neighbor of the Cao family's new house and should be very familiar with the situation.

Upon hearing her say this, he immediately opened his mouth in surprise and said:

"It's already rented out? So fast, didn't you hear the Cao family mention it?"

The neighbor hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"I don't know, but when I got up last night, I seemed to see a light coming from the courtyard."

Hearing her say that, everyone started chatting again.

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe you're mistaken. Why don't we ask Lao Cao?"

"Yes, I think that house is perfect for this girl."

Upon hearing the name of the Cao family's house, Feng Qingqing's eyes lit up. She quickly looked at the middle-aged woman sitting not far away and said:

"Auntie, can I come over to your house later for a drink of water? I can also take a look at what that house looks like. Even if I can't rent it, it's okay, I can just look at the next place."
