Chapter 1335: Do You Have the Deeds?

68 Jinlan Street, not a word wrong.

Gu Yundong kept the note and strode in with Tong Shuitao.

As soon as she entered, she saw a woman in her forties talking. “You have to consider it carefully. My shop is very popular. Many people come to see it. It’s now or never.”

As she spoke, she happened to see Gu Yundong and Tong Shuitao enter. Her eyes immediately lit up and she hurriedly walked over to ask, “You’re also here to look at the shop, right? Come, come, let me introduce you.”

Gu Yundong narrowed her eyes and sized her up for a while. She had thought that she was a broker, but now, the woman looked like a servant from a rich family.

Could it be Nie Cong’s idea? He wanted to rent out this shop?

She ignored the old woman and looked at the other two people standing in the shop.

The man and woman seemed to be husband and wife. Their eyes were shining as they looked at the shop, but they looked a little hesitant. They were trying their best to consider.

However, when they saw Gu Yundong and Tong Shuitao, their conflicted expressions changed. They immediately came over and pulled the old woman over.

“Mother Chen, we took a liking to this shop first. How can you rent it to someone else?”

Mother Chen immediately smiled happily. “I already said that many people came to look at my shop. Then, did you take a fancy to this shop? Alright, let’s sign the lease now. Give me half a year’s rent and deposit.”

At the mention of silver, the couple hesitated again and said softly, “But the rent is too expensive. It’s 30 taels a month and we have to pay for half a year. I…”

A trace of annoyance and disdain flashed across Mother Chen’s eyes, but she still smiled. “You can’t say that. If you do business on this street, it’s not difficult to earn more than a hundred taels a month. These dozens of taels of silver are nothing to you. You’ll get back your capital very quickly.”

Seeing that they were still hesitating, Mother Chen immediately looked at Gu Yundong. “Madam, what do you think of this shop? You definitely won’t lose out if you rent it.”

Gu Yundong glanced at her and asked, “Does this shop belong to your family?”

Mother Chen was stunned. Her eyes were evasive for a moment, but she quickly calmed down. “Isn’t that obvious? If it’s not my master’s, would I take it out to rent?”

“Do you have a deed?”

Mother Chen frowned and became impatient. “What’s wrong with you? You didn’t say that you wanted to rent it. Why are you asking me for the deed? I naturally have the deed. Otherwise, why do I have the key to this shop? I can’t just show you this, right?”

Mother Chen felt that Gu Yundong was here to cause trouble. She waved her hand and started to chase him away. “Alright, alright. You have quite a lot of questions. Let me tell you, my shop is very popular. If you don’t want to rent it, leave quickly. Don’t hinder others here.”

Gu Yundong avoided Mother Chen’s hand and said to the couple, “I advise you to see if she has a house deed first. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if the money is wasted.”

The couple looked at each other. Although they felt that what Gu Yundong said made sense, they were afraid that she also wanted to rent this shop, so she deliberately sowed discord between them and Mother Chen.

Hence, they said hesitantly, “We don’t think so. Mother Chen is someone close to Lady Yan of the Yan Residence. The Yan Residence is so big. She wouldn’t lie to us about dozens of taels of silver, right?”
