Chapter 259: Finding a New Teacher
"Zhiqing, I was thinking..." Su Baijin smiled awkwardly, "I wanted to ask if there’s an empty room available for rent. Xiang Nuan said you know the landlord’s contact information, so could you give it to me? I’ll speak with them directly. Otherwise, you can do it—that’s fine too. The rent isn’t expensive, right?"
With so many rooms, there should be some available. Yes, there must be. Even the dog has its own room, how could there not be one for her?
"There aren’t many," Jian Zhiqing spoke calmly while eating, "fifty yuan a month, that’s just for the stay; water and electricity are separate."
"What, fifty?"
Su Baijin was taken aback – fifty yuan for just one month? Her monthly salary was barely 200 dollars, and the dormitory at school was free, leaving her with nearly 200 yuan left over. And if there was a bonus or something, she’d have more than 200 yuan. She had to give 100 yuan to her family as their situation wasn’t too good, and she also supported them financially, plus her younger brother was still studying. With her remaining 100 yuan, she could save a few tens of yuan each month after buying daily necessities.
How could it suddenly cost fifty yuan? Why was it so expensive?
"Zhiqing, you’re not joking with me, are you?" Su Baijin’s smile became strained.
