Chapter 46 - 45: Settling Down
"Mom, you’re finally here, let’s head back first; it’s too hot outside," Lin Yinghui, carrying a large bag in each hand, grinned as he let Lin Wan and Liang Hongmei pull on his sleeves and walk out. After leaving the station, Lin Yinghui hired a tricycle and maneuvered through the streets and alleys of S City for over an hour before reaching the rented place.
"It’s hard to find a house. This one was recommended by a local classmate of mine. It’s two rooms with a small courtyard. It’s a bit off the beaten path, but it’s a standalone unit."
"Ah Hui, how much is the rent for this house?" Liang Hongmei walked around the yard, finding it much better than the house they rented in Huai Town.
"Twelve a month. They originally asked for fifteen, but we got a three-dollar discount thanks to my classmate."
"That’s so expensive."
Lin Yinghui felt a bit troubled; finding a house with a yard in S City is indeed a rare find. If the family hadn’t been in a rush to leave S City, it probably wouldn’t have been available to them.
"Mom, a house with a small courtyard like this is already very cheap. Brother, you’re amazing," Lin Wan comforted Mom and took a moment to praise her brother.
She liked the courtyard. Although it was a bit secluded, having a standalone courtyard with a toilet was much better than living in a cluttered, sewage-ridden tubular building.
