Chapter 313
Ye Tian knew that Beiping had a large population, with an even larger influx of newcomers. Relatively speaking, renting out houses could bring in a decent income. However, there were disparities, as the cheapest options were dirty and chaotic courtyards like this one, lacking in water and even internet access. The residents here were among the lowest social strata, so the rent collected was very low; making a living from this was tough.
"Just endure it."
After saying this, he took a few steps around the room. Ye Tian knew he was checking out the belongings he had brought, probably finding them too shabby with just a backpack, which flickered a trace of disappointment in his eyes before he turned and left.
After finishing his cigarette, Ye Tian began to clean up the house, but it was really beyond help. There wasn’t even any bedding; just a layer of mats on the clay bed and two rat holes on the wall, which was quite lively. It was hard to imagine how people here managed to live. Flipping through his bamboo hat, only sixty yuan was left, hardly enough to buy anything significant. Just as Ye Tian was worrying, someone walked in with a quilt and a large bag; they were here to deliver things to him.
"Mo Yan sent you."
"Yes."
"Just put them here. Thanks on my behalf."
The man left without a word. Seeing his energy, he was likely one of the local bodyguards. When he placed the items, Ye Tian noticed calluses thick on the back of his left hand; those were from firing guns, and he was left-handed at that.
