It's September, and it's already the beginning of autumn.

But the temperature in Sushui City showed no signs of subsidy, and the air was still filled with a hot and dry smell that made people want to vomit.

The whole city was covered in a gloomy black curtain, and the downpour seemed to fall at any moment.

Xu Luo, who was riding an electric car, was stopping in front of the traffic light at the intersection and anxiously answering the phone.

It was a call from the landlord, and the tone was very unkind.

"Xiao Xu, what do you mean, you still can't rent this house? I said that I would pay it every half a year, but two months have passed in the past half a year, and you haven't paid the rent for the second half of the year, do you want to live in vain!"

"I know, I know, Brother Chen, am I that kind of person? You wait a few more days, and when the work at hand is completed, I promise to pay the rent for the second half of the year. Xu Luo said with a smile on his face.

"Grass, are you still waiting? Then, I'll give you two more days, and after two days, if you don't pay the rent, don't blame me for being rude, throw all your things out, okay, that's all!"

Doodle!

Listening to the busy sound in his ears, Xu Luo's brows furrowed, and his face was a little ugly.

Urge, urge, urge! know to urge!

Nima, it's really a bad year!

Just as Xu Luo was muttering, there was a horn sound from behind, and it turned out that the front had turned into a green light.

He was about to hurry away when his phone rang again.

After glancing at who called, he quickly pushed the electric car to the side of the road.

"Xiaoyu, what's the matter?"

"Brother!"

Xu Yu just started crying after shouting Brother Sheng, this cry made Xu Luoxin suddenly lift up again, and asked urgently: "Xiaoyu, don't cry, tell my brother, is someone bullying you?"

"Brother, no one bullied me, it's my mother...... Mom's old problem has been committed again, and she is hospitalized, and she needs to be operated!"

"Ah, you want to go under the knife?"

"Yes, the doctor said that if you don't do it, you can't do it, otherwise the consequences will be very serious!" Xu Yu choked.

"But I heard from my mother yesterday that she was going home, and she didn't see this disease!"

"If you don't look at it, why don't you watch it?" Xu Luo suddenly said urgently.

"My mother said that my family didn't have much money in the first place, and I had to borrow my college tuition, let alone 120,000 yuan for medical expenses. Brother, I'm not going to college anymore, let's borrow money to see my mother first!" Xu Yu cried.

Hearing this, Xu Luo suddenly said anxiously: "Xiaoyu, what nonsense, how can you not go to college after all your hard work, didn't my brother say that I will be responsible for your tuition." As for my mother's illness, I will find a way to deal with the medical expenses, don't think nonsense, be obedient, don't cry!"

"But...... But brother, that adds up to tens of thousands!".

"Don't worry, my brother just took over a big job here, as long as he finishes it, he will get the money, and the medical expenses and tuition fees are all there. You give me peace of mind to take care of my mother, and you don't have to worry about money. Gritting his teeth, Xu Luo said.

"Brother, is it really?" asked Xu Yu with a sob.

"Nonsense, of course it's true, when did my brother lie to you?" Xu Luo said categorically.

"By the way, brother, if you come back, don't say I'll tell you, my parents won't let me tell you about it!" Xu Yu followed.

"Why?" Xu Luo scratched his head.

"Dad said it's not easy for you to be outside, and I can't let you worry about it anymore. Xu Yu said timidly

"Hey, what's that! Okay, I know, I'll go back in two days. ”

Hanging up the phone of the little sister, Xu Luo felt that one head was two big.

He subconsciously touched his pocket, only took out a few dozen pieces, plus dozens of pieces in WeChat, and barely broke 100 together, which is already all his belongings at the moment.

The work at hand is not yet completed, the arrears of rent are still waiting to be paid, the mother's illness has to prepare medical expenses, and the tuition fee for the younger sister has to be paid......

Money money money, money everywhere has to be spent, money is bad everywhere.

Just when Xu Luo was upset, the phone rang restlessly again.

After seeing who called, he took a deep breath, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and politely connected: "Brother Guo......"

didn't give him a chance to continue talking, and the phone was scolded.

"Hey, Xu Luo, do you want to do the work here? If you want to do it, come over immediately, if you don't want to do it, squeak, I'll find someone else to do it!"

"Brother Guo, what's wrong with you?

"Hmph, what's wrong? You're embarrassed to ask me what's wrong? What did we say in the first place? I'll give you the tiling work, and you promise to finish it within a week. Isn't that right?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xu Luo replied repeatedly.

"It's a fart, I'm at home now, it's all like this, and the brick master hasn't even seen a shadow. You come and see for yourself, it's a mess. Also, my painting work will start the day after tomorrow, if you can't finish this work in the next two days, remove the tiles you bought, and don't even think about taking a penny of wages!"

Brother Guo roared angrily, and even his voice changed his tone a little.

What the?

No one was there at the scene? How could it be, Master Liao should be there! Yang Xuefeng should also be there!

I didn't want to talk about the work of that tooling, so I didn't have time to come over, but I also explained to Yang Xuefeng and asked him to come and keep an eye on it.

What's going on?

"Brother Guo, you wait a minute, I'll rush over and guarantee it in ten minutes. I didn't have time to think about it anymore, Xu Luo hurriedly said.

"Okay, I'll wait for you!"

Hung up the phone, Xu Luo hurriedly called Master Liao, who was in charge of tiling, who thought that there was no one answering, and then he called Yang Xuefeng, who thought that there was also a busy line over there.

"It doesn't make sense!"

Xu Luo, who was inexplicably a little apprehensive in his heart, stopped calling and hurried straight to the construction house.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Luo, who rushed over panting, saw Guo Tao, the owner of the house with a straight face.

"Brother Guo, I'm sorry, there are a lot of red lights on the road, I'm late!" As soon as they met, Xu Luo hurriedly apologized.

Guo Tao raised his hand and pointed around, and said with a gloomy face: "Not only are you late, but you are also late for work." You show me, what this looks like! I'm going to paint the walls here, but you haven't even put up the floor tiles here, do you have to work like this?"

"Xu Luo, what did we say at the beginning? I said that you must deliver the work to me within a week, as long as the work is delivered on time, the salary will be done according to what you say, and even the materials I will directly buy from you. You also patted your chest at the time, and this is your promise?"

No wonder Guo Tao is angry!

Whoever sees this kind of scene will probably have to be the first to make a statement.

The two-bedroom and two-living room house is full of random stacked wall tiles, floor tiles, cement and sand, and the kitchen is paved a little, and the rest of the place has not moved.

The ground was littered, and the progress of the project was almost negligible.

Xu Luo, who was already on fire, felt that the ulcer in his mouth was more painful, but he had to endure the pain, grinned and said, "Brother Guo, you dissipate your anger, there must be something in here, wait a minute, I'll call Xiao Yang." ”

"Whatever you want!" Guo Tao snorted coldly with his hands crossed over his chest.

Yang Xuefeng, you bastard, are you trying to trick me? If it weren't for the owner's call, I wouldn't have known that this home improvement construction site was made by you to do this.

You kid wait for me!

Master Liao's phone was still unanswered.

But this time, Yang Xuefeng's side was quickly connected.

"Yang Xuefeng, where are you now?" Xu Luo suppressed the fire and asked in a deep voice.

"Hehe, Brother Luo, I was about to call you, I ......"

"What are you? What did I tell you last time? We only have a week for this job, don't you want you to urge Master Liao to finish the work quickly? I asked you to come over every day to keep an eye on the progress. But what about you? Where the hell are you? Do you still want to do it? If you don't want to do it......

"Brother Luo, I don't want to do it anymore. ”

In Xu Luo's angry words, Yang Xuefeng's words that fluttered suddenly made him dumbfounded.

Stunned, Xu Luo's eyes widened suddenly, he heard it right.

"What did you say?

"That's right, I'm not going to do it, let's be honest, I don't think there's much money to follow you, so let's get together and disperse. I'm too lazy to stare at this job, you can do it yourself. Brother Luo, brother hopes that you can make a lot of money in the future, that's all, goodbye. ”

"Damn, you ......"

Beep, there was a rush rush on the phone.

When Xu Luo came to his senses from his astonishment, when he called again, he found that he couldn't get through to Yang Xuefeng's phone, and he was obviously blacklisted by the other party, and he was so angry that his face turned red, and his eyes were almost bursting with fire.

"Yang Xuefeng, you dog, you actually demolished Lao Tzutai at this time! You forgot who brought you into the industry and gave you food! You are simply an ungrateful white-eyed wolf! You ......"

Just when Xu Luo was angry, Guo Tao, who was standing beside him, looked at him with oily eyes, "Xiao Xu, are you in trouble here? Is there no way to deliver this work on time? You have to think clearly, if you don't have time to deliver the work, even if you do the previous work in vain, you won't get a penny." ”

"Nothing!"

Xu Luo grabbed his mobile phone and said stubbornly: "Hey, Brother Guo, what are you talking about, no, no problem, no matter how big the trouble is, it's not a trouble for me! Don't worry, I will definitely finish this work for you the day after tomorrow, and I promise that I won't delay your later work!"

"That's the best!"

After saying this, Guo Tao turned around and left.

The moment the door closed, Xu Luo's confidence just now suddenly disappeared without a trace, his butt seemed to be on fire, and he couldn't wait to call when he picked up his mobile phone.

"Master Zhang, do you have any work on your hands lately? What? You will only be free next month? Forget it, you are busy!"

"Master Liu, what? You can't come back to your hometown?"

"Hey, Master Chen, I have a job ...... here Hey, don't hang up!"

……

Every time he made a phone call, Xu Luo greeted him with a smile.

But coincidentally, these masters were either not available, or they were not in the city, and they politely refused.

In the Sushui decoration WeChat group, I sent a red envelope of "urgent work to ask for a brick master", and it was robbed in a blink of an eye, but no one replied!

What's the matter, is it really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, is Lao Tzu so moldy? Can't even shout a master who sticks tiles? Xu Luo's face became darker and darker.
