"Big sister, how did I beco soone who conned people? I just want to fix up my house properly. What I’ve calculated are all real costs. Fine, since you say my quote is high, then find soone else to fix it for , but let make it clear, you have to cover the losses during the days the house is being repaired, two dollars at least."
"Big sister, isn’t this a bit deceitful? I’m helping you fix the house, but I still have to pay you? That’s too much, right?" Ye Qing watched the child was almost finished eating, her eyes shifted, planning to find a way to get the woman to leave.
She wouldn’t be the fool here.
"If it weren’t for you guys delaying for so many days, couldn’t I have rented out the house earlier and made an extra day’s rent?"
"Big sister, you’re not right by saying that. Our paynt hasn’t expired, has it? These days are still within our rental period, right? I’ll just fix the house for you."
The landlady thought for a mont and realized that Ye Qing was right. It was her first ti renting a house, she didn’t have much experience, and at the beginning, this tenant had been quite generous, paying half a year upfront, so she forgot about the deposit issue, otherwise, this situation wouldn’t have happened.
"Okay, you can fix it for , but don’t forget about the people downstairs either."
"Big sister, I got it. I still need to go back and tidy up the house; it’s all water inside, and I have to stay there tonight."
"You... you still need to stay?"
"Big sister, of course, we need to stay, or what about the child? It’s getting late now, I need to go back and tidy up, and tomorrow I’ll hire a worker to see how to fix the house. Why not co by in the afternoon and listen in. See what else needs fixing, feel free to say." Ye Qing said with a smile.
Indeed, there were many places in that house that needed reworking, and since Ye Qing agreed, such an enticing offer, of course, the landlady was willing.
"Fine, fine, I’ll co by tomorrow. But you need to give a phone number, or how will I reach you if I can’t contact you?"
"...Oh, sure, I’ll give you my family’s number." Ye Qing flashed a glance and wrote down the i family’s number for her.
The landlady felt considerably relieved with the phone number and walked away with the note.
Ye Qing watched the landlord walking away and secretly thought to herself, "Fool."
Although there weren’t many things for the child in the rental place, there were still so clothes, and those clothes could save a bit of money.
Ye Qing went in to tidy up and packed a large bag, along with her own handbag. She picked them up in one hand, ready to take the child directly to catch a ride back to Z City.
Unexpectedly, just as she pushed the door open, she ran into the landlady face to face.
The landlady was halfway ho when she suddenly realized she had taken the house keys with her. Without them, how could the mother and son get into the house?
So, out of kindness, she returned to bring back the keys, not expecting that when the door was open, Ye Qing had smartly left a crack.
The landlady saw that Ye Qing was carrying lots of bags and taking the child obviously to go out, and imdiately understood.
"You... you bitch, you wrecked the house like this and now you want to sneak away?"
"Big sister, who’s sneaking away?"
"If not sneaking away, then what is this?" Although the landlady wasn’t the sharpest, she was better at being aggressive than Ye Qing. As she spoke, she flung Ye Qing’s bag onto the ground.
"How unreasonable are you to a person, what’s wrong with packing so things?" Ye Qing, feeling guilty, pulled the child behind her, afraid she’d touch the child.
"You take for a fool?" The landlady forcefully shoved past her into the house to take a look. Everything usable had been packed up, and seeing this, the landlady was furious and went right up to Ye Qing, "Thankfully I turned back once, or I would’ve been completely played by you. Looking at you, you don’t look like you have no money, so why do these things? So disgraceful. Let’s let everyone judge, see if you don’t feel any sha for what you did."
The landlady’s voice was loud, and as soon as the neighbors who had just returned ho heard the commotion, once again from this house, they all curiously rushed out to see what’s going on.
Especially the family next to them ca out with a chuckle, asking, "What’s going on here?"
"Let’s have everyone weigh in, shall we? I pitied her a mont ago, let her and her child go out to get sothing to eat, she said she’d fix the house for , even said she wanted to continue renting. I didn’t expect, in just a blink, this woman secretly packed up her stuff to leave. If I hadn’t turned back midway, I’d have incurred a huge loss on this house."
