Chapter 333 Housewarming Party (1)

There were two tables at Qin Wangshu's housewarming party. Apart from her, Qin Jingchu, Aunt Luo and Yang Mingye, most of the guests were from Beijing or her classmates who had not returned home.

Beijing is the capital after all, and any job you find here will earn you more than back home. Nowadays, few people are rich, and everyone is short of money. Tickets are expensive, and there may be no place to live when you go back home, so many people choose to stay on campus during the winter vacation.

This time, Qin Wangshu invited those classmates who were familiar with her and did not go home to attend her housewarming party.

Both Wu Min and his wife came, and brought their daughter with them.

The little girl became more lively after her father came, running around in Qin Wangshu's yard.

"Yingzi is a little naughty now, don't be angry." Wu Min felt a little embarrassed.

"She and I are familiar with each other. We have lived under the same roof for so long. Yingzi is like a younger generation in my family. Not to mention that she calls me aunt. How can I be angry with her?"

No one has arrived yet. Wu Min and his wife arrived early just to help. After Wu Min's husband came, Qin Wangshu helped them a lot. Now that Qin Wangshu has something going on at home, they naturally have to come and help.

Now she was sitting in the house picking vegetables with Qin Wangshu.

It was still a little cold outside, so they picked the vegetables inside and brought them to the kitchen for washing.

"By the way, are you still living in the same alley as before?" Qin Wangshu asked.

"Well, it's cheaper over there." Wu Min said her predicament nonchalantly.

"You know I used to live in the home of a retired professor."

"Well, what's wrong?" Wu Min didn't understand why Qin Wangshu brought this up.

"The professor is old and his children are all living in other places, so he wants to rent out the house so that the family can have some peace and quiet and his children can feel at ease. It was my Aunt Luo and I who lived there before, but now I've moved out, so I wanted to ask if you have any idea of ​​moving in."

"I..." She naturally knew the house Qin Wangshu had rented before. It was many times better than the one she was renting now. But for the same reason, she was short of money, and she was afraid that she would let Qin Wangshu down.

"Don't worry about the rent. Professor Cen's rent is not high. If you can help her cook at home, it can be cheaper." Qin Wangshu knew Wu Min's concerns.

Her husband doesn't always work, and her allowance is only enough for her and her daughter to eat. Rent is a big problem for her.

"I'm actually worried about Professor Cen living alone. I trust your and your character, and with you living there, you can lend a hand. Besides, Yingzi also has to go to school, and you can't let her live in the place you rented. Moreover, the conditions there are so poor, it will not be good for your husband's health if he lives there for a long time." Qin Wangshu persuaded Wu Min.

Wu Min was a little moved. She really felt sorry for her husband. The place they rented was a house built on an aisle. There was no space left after putting a bed in it. It was difficult for people to turn around inside.

"I wonder how much the rent for your house is?" Wu Min seemed to have made up her mind.

Qin Wangshu said a number. This was not the price of her room, but the price of Aunt Luo's room.

That room was cheaper than hers. "Professor Cen is not short of money, so the price is negotiable. If you can help her with three meals a day, the price should be even lower. Of course, Professor Cen will pay for the meals."

In fact, Professor Cen wanted to reduce Qin Wangshu's rent later. After all, she had been eating with Aunt Luo and felt a little embarrassed, but Qin Wangshu did not agree and only asked her to reduce the rent of Aunt Luo's room.

She had also discussed Wu Min's situation with Professor Cen before. She said that the rent could be lowered, and Wu Min's husband could be asked to help with some chores to offset the rent.

When Wu Min heard the price, he was a little surprised, not because it was expensive but because it was too low.

She didn't expect that the rent for such a good house would be so low. Although it was definitely more expensive than their current rent, the house was good enough.

The price was not beyond their reach, so Wu Min was even more tempted, but she still had to discuss the matter with her husband.

"Professor Cen will also be here today. I have told her about this. You can talk to her then." Qin Wangshu felt that Wu Min would agree. After all, the house they rented was still habitable in the summer, but it would be too difficult to live in the winter.

Wu Min couldn't bear to see her husband suffer for so long, and besides, they had children.

"Okay, then I'll go discuss it with my husband first." Wu Min put away the vegetables she had picked and went to the kitchen with them.
