Chapter 30: Add a fire
"I found it, five hundred dollars a month. The old lady smiled, "It's still close to where my granddaughter goes to school, and it's only a few minutes' walk away!"
The male landlord and the landlord's wife looked at each other, and the landlord's wife sneered, and her eyes were even more disdainful: "Can there be a house in this neighborhood for 500 months? If there is, then you didn't sell your granddaughter, then someone else wanted your granddaughter to be young and beautiful, and used it for free prostitution!"
The old lady's smile froze for a moment, and she clenched her fists and said angrily: "Landlady, you can't make up nonsense, my granddaughter and I are honest people!
"Hey~" The landlord's wife folded her hands in front of her chest, her red lips grinned, and she smiled contemptuously and mockingly, "Then you can tell me, where is there a house of five hundred a month around here?"
"Shared. Zhang Ling suppressed his temper and replied aloud.
"Sharing a house, sharing a house with a man, isn't it an old man in his seventies and eighties?" The landlord's wife smiled and lengthened the end note, and a sharp voice was loud, attracting people nearby to look over, curiously glanced at the direction where Zhang Bell and the old lady were, and whispered to each other in this direction. Every look in his eyes revealed a kind of suspicion and contempt. The landlord's wife saw the looks of the people nearby out of the corner of her eye, and her smile became three points stronger.
"It's boring. Zhang Lingzhong continued to talk impatiently, pulled the old lady with a red face and walked forward.
The landlady and the landlord's wife glanced at each other, both of them were masters who could do things, and when they raised their steps, they followed behind their grandparents and grandchildren. The landlord's wife kept chattering and ridiculing all the way, the Zhang bell in front of her turned a deaf ear, and the old lady who was being pulled by her wanted to stop several times, and responded with red eyes, but was stopped by Zhang Ling, "Grandma, the more some people pay attention to her, the more fierce she screams." ”
"Dead girl, why do you call me a dog?" the landlady's wife shouted angrily in a sharp voice.
Zhang Lingzhong stopped, stood at the corner of the corridor, and looked down condescendingly at the landlord's wife who stepped on high heels and struggled upstairs, "I'm talking to my grandma, if you think I'm scolding you, then I can't help it." ”
The landlord's wife's face slowly sank, and her tone was gloomy: "You don't plan to ask for the deposit, right?"
A deposit of 2,000 yuan, there is no reason not to want it. The old lady was anxious all of a sudden, raised her hand and slapped the arm of the bell heavily, "Xiaoyuyan, what are you doing with your mouth? ”
Zhang Lingdang said obediently: "Landlord's wife, I'm sorry, I said something that made you misunderstand." ”
The landlord's wife's face was slightly slight, her eyes revealed a strange gloomy light, and the corners of her mouth hooked a hint of laughter, "I forgot to tell you, we can continue to live in this house, and you don't need to move out; if you have to move out, we have to act according to the rental contract, you have to move out after you have lived for a year, and there is no place to return the deposit! Even if I call the king of heaven, I will not return a cent of the deposit to you!"
The landlady glanced at his wife strangely, her face was domineering and arrogant, and even the landlady was cowardly, but he still echoed at the first time: "Yes, my wife is right! Now that I want to move out, I don't want to return the deposit to you!"
The old lady's heart tightened, and her face was frighteningly pale. The old lady slowly turned her head sideways, staring at a pair of cloudy pupils, her whole thin body trembling slightly, "You are bullying!"
The landlord's wife breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's still called bullying to let you continue to live? You don't look at how old you are, my husband and I pity you and your granddaughter so kindly take you in; otherwise, with your poor and sour appearance, where is there a place for you to stay for so long? As long as we let the new landlord talk about it, who will dare to rent the house to the two of you? Aren't you afraid that the creditor will come to the door and smash things twice in three days?"
The landlady laughed out loud and added to the fire: "There is no landlord in this neighborhood that I don't know! If you don't believe in evil and have to waste a deposit of 2,000 yuan, you can just try it!"
The old lady made a sad face, grabbed the hand of the bell, sighed and persuaded: "Forget it, Xiaoyuyan, we won't move." ”
The man and the landlord's wife had a smug smile on their faces.
Zhang Ling sighed, patient, "Grandma, do you want the three thousand yuan?"
The old lady's sparse eyebrows furrowed tightly, lowered her head, cried a sad face, and clenched her fist and beat her left chest, "Ouch, I'm an old immortal, clean up this kind of foolish thing, why didn't I die sooner!" ”
The old lady had tears in her eyes, and she choked up and said, "Then don't you want this deposit?"
Zhang Lingzhong took advantage of the situation to untie a bunch of keys on the old lady's wrist, turned around and walked to the house first, she was already nesting a ball of anger in her heart, using the key to drill the door lock, twisting twice, and opening the door, the person walked in quickly, the speed of the hand's cleaning was very fast, and there were few things, but in a piece of bits and pieces of the house, only two people and four hands could not be busy.
The male landlord and the landlord's wife, who were leaning outside the door to watch the excitement, suddenly burst into laughter, and the landlord's wife kindly reminded: "I have to find someone to help me with this move, and the moving fee and car fare have to cost a lot, so I won't do such a stupid thing." ”
The old lady sat on the edge of the bed, tugging at the fabric of her arm, and kept wiping away her tears.
The lights in this room were dim, the only small window was tightly closed, and the air was muffled and oppressive, especially with the helpless whimpering of the old lady, and the ridicule and ridicule of the landlord and the landlord's wife from time to time, which made people feel a sense of desolation and frustration. Zhang Ling bent down and squeezed piles of bits and pieces into a pile, fifteen or sixteen packs of bits and pieces of objects of different sizes, and was stunned to stuff them all into a big half-person tall green plastic bag, and she didn't know how she could stuff it, but she only stuffed half of the plastic bag's space. Seeing that the landlady rubbed his eyes, took a closer look at it again, and muttered, "Something is wrong with this bag, right?"
The landlady's wife glanced at her husband with disdain, lowered her voice and threatened, "What's wrong? Now is the time to talk about bags? Hurry up and leave them behind! Otherwise, are you going to return all the bird's nest and shark fins?"
The landlady was afraid of guilt and didn't dare to speak.
Zhang Lingdang straightened up, lifted the big green plastic bag with one hand, put it on his left shoulder with his backhand, walked over, and without saying a word, hugged the old lady's waist with his right hand, and picked up the old lady with one hand. The male landlady and the landlord's wife who were blocking the door had not yet reacted, and they were hit by Zhang Ling's bell in the middle.
The landlady was frightened inexplicably, "Is this girl a ghost?"
The landlord's wife gave him a blank look, and hurriedly pushed the male landlord, urging: "You hurry up and follow and see which house they have gone to?
The landlady muttered, "Why don't you follow?"
The landlord's wife took off her high heels and patted him, "You try it in high heels? I want my wife to be beautiful, and I want my wife to be able to beat people, why don't you go to heaven to find it?"
The landlady looked bitter, glanced at his wife's fat body trembling and trembling, and after his wife's next high-heeled shoes fell, he turned around and ran out quickly, "Yes, wife, don't fight, I'll chase after me now-" With a roar, the figure quickly disappeared on the edge of the corridor. The landlord's wife put down her high heels, put them on, walked into the narrow room and looked at her inch by inch, her nose wrinkled uncomfortably, and her palm fanned gently in front of her nose, "This house really stinks!
Hearing the voice of the landlady's complaint, the three tenants had a sneering expression on their faces, and they quietly went back to the house.
The landlady saw from a distance that the grandfather and grandson in front of him had a popsicle in their hands, chewing and eating as they walked.
He quietly followed from a distance.
Zhang Lingdang noticed it, pulled the old lady into a nearby park, sat on the horizontal chair, and enjoyed the refreshing and moist night breeze by the lake, the old lady finished eating the cheapest old popsicle, her body couldn't bear it, she sneezed again and again, and rubbed her knees with her cold hands, "Xiaoyuyan, let's not eat popsicles in the future, it's too cold, it hurts the body." If you catch a cold, it will cost money. ”
Zhang Bell took out a box of potato chips from the plastic bag, opened it, threw it into his mouth and chewed it, pinched three more slices, and put them to the old lady's mouth, "Grandma, open your mouth quickly, this is delicious." ”
The old lady swallowed her saliva, opened her mouth, chewed three slices of tomato and potato-flavored potato chips, clicked and clicked, and pursed the corners of her mouth, "What's so delicious about this? Isn't it the taste of potatoes? A box costs ten yuan, which is too expensive, how much is a pound of potatoes?"
Zhang Lingzhong choked angrily for a moment, put down half a box of potato chips, "Grandma, I'm going for a run!"
The old lady stretched out her hand and grabbed the hem of her clothes, "I just wore a short-sleeved shirt, aren't you afraid of the cold? What are you running? Let's go back quickly, we can't stop the deposit of 2,000, this money is not easy to earn, grandma can't earn so much money if she has to pick up bottles and paper skins for two months!"
Zhang Ling took a long breath, closed his eyes, and screamed in despair in his heart!
Zhang Lingzhong opened his eyes again, looking at the old lady's wrinkled face with a peaceful gaze, the silent scenery of the night in the old lady's eyes and a sense of loneliness and fear, Zhang Ling's heart softened, squatted in front of the old lady, and held the old lady's hand with both hands, "Grandma, believe me, I have grown up, I can protect you, and I can also make money to support the two of us." ”
The old lady furrowed her brows and looked serious: "What can you do to make money?"
