Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Truly Shocked
Otherwise, who would be wandering around the market so early in the morning?
It’s much better to stay home and sleep in!
She also has a child at home, the same age as Jiang Xin, who sleeps until late morning every day.
Could it be that Jiang Xin regretted renting the house last time and doesn’t want to rent it anymore, so she came to find her?
This possibility can’t be ruled out.
The breakfast stall owner’s expression suddenly became serious.
She even started wondering how she should handle it if Jiang Xin brings up the matter of the house in a moment.
After all, it was quite difficult to rent out this house, and her brother and sister-in-law were happily tidying up the house and packing their bags yesterday evening.
If Jiang Xin regrets it just one day later, wouldn’t their happiness be all for nothing?
But since Jiang Xin has already come to find her, she can’t avoid it.
The breakfast stall owner closed her eyes briefly and, after finishing her task, waved Jiang Xin over.
Then, she asked if there was something she needed to discuss today.
The breakfast stall owner thought she wasn’t unreasonable; the rental issue shouldn’t be about forced transactions.
If Jiang Xin really doesn’t want to rent anymore, even though the contract was just signed a day ago, it can still be canceled.
You can’t force someone to live in a house they don’t like.
After all, as Jiang Xin mentioned yesterday, she’s living alone in such a big house.
In that case, it certainly feels too empty, and the house her brother and sister-in-law have is indeed quite large.
Naturally, the rent follows and becomes expensive.
So if it weren’t her brother and sister-in-law’s house, she would certainly hope Jiang Xin could rent a smaller house.
To save on expenses.
After all, money is hard to come by these days, and she’s also running a small business, so she understands these things.
The breakfast stall owner thought that no matter what Jiang Xin might say later, she had to control her temper, as harmony brings wealth.
If Jiang Xin says she doesn’t want to rent the house anymore, she’ll quickly contact her brother and sister-in-law to refund the rent.
After all, since the deal wasn’t finalized, there’s room for reconsideration.
She could understand that, so the breakfast stall owner thought she wouldn’t blame Jiang Xin if she changed her mind.
It’s just that she suddenly felt a bit troubled, with her nephew about to start school.
Finding another tenant again might take a long time, and she could lose a lot of money.
Jiang Xin had no idea the breakfast stall owner was having so many thoughts upon seeing her.
It wasn’t until she approached and heard what the breakfast stall owner said that she realized there had been a misunderstanding.
"Ah, it’s Jiang Xin, is there something you need to talk to me about today?"
"If it’s about the house and you don’t want to rent it, that’s okay. Don’t feel burdened; these things are quite normal."
The shop owner has been renting out houses for her brother and sister-in-law for a long time and has encountered all kinds of odd situations.
It’s not uncommon for tenants to change their minds at the last minute.
However, she hadn’t encountered someone like Jiang Xin who regretted the decision right after signing the contract.
After all, Jiang Xin was extremely decisive when paying the deposit yesterday.
So who would have thought she would suddenly change her mind today, with only a day in between?
But all of this isn’t entirely incomprehensible.
Upon hearing what the breakfast stall owner said, Jiang Xin was stunned, not expecting her to have spoken this way before she even said anything.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Xin realized the breakfast stall owner misunderstood and thought she regretted renting the house, which was why she came to see her.
Jiang Xin quickly spoke to explain:
"No, no, I didn’t come here because of the rental issue."
In the middle of speaking, Jiang Xin suddenly paused.
Seems like she couldn’t say that, as she did come today due to the rental issue.
Jiang Xin thought for a moment, organized her thoughts, and then spoke again:
"I came to see you, not about the house I rented yesterday."
"I’m very satisfied with the house rented yesterday, so I’m not backing out; I still want to continue renting."
"I came to ask for your help with something else."
The breakfast stall owner had already considered countless scenarios, even preparing for the worst-case scenario.
If the house truly couldn’t be rented out, she was prepared to lend some money to her brother and sister-in-law to help them live better when they move to the provincial city.
After all, being new to a place requires settling in, with many expenses to cover.
She couldn’t bear to see her brother and sister-in-law live a difficult life, especially with a nephew about to attend university.
Regardless, she made a decent earning every day from her breakfast stall, and helping out wouldn’t be an issue from her husband’s perspective.
After all, it’s her own brother; she couldn’t just let them tough it out.
In the end, she never expected that Jiang Xin came early in the morning, not because of regretting the rental deal.
But to say there was something else she needed help with.
But what could it be that she needed help with?
"What is it, tell me. If I can help, I’ll certainly do everything I can!"
To put it bluntly, as long as Jiang Xin didn’t back out of renting the house, she was willing to help with anything, as long as it wasn’t illegal.
The breakfast stall owner’s eyes lit up when she looked at Jiang Xin.
With a hopeful gaze, she wondered what kind of assistance Jiang Xin was requesting.
After all, she was just a middle-aged woman running a stall in the market.
What she could accomplish was very limited.
Nonetheless, the breakfast stall owner had a very good impression of Jiang Xin, and she’d certainly do her utmost to help if Jiang Xin asked.
Seeing the shop owner’s enthusiastic attitude, Jiang Xin felt a bit embarrassed.
However, after thinking it over, it seemed that only the breakfast stall owner could help her with this matter.
