Chapter 233 Breaking Her Leg

"Old man, this money should have been left to you by the young man just now, so just accept it."

The boss and his wife looked around at the door, but didn't find the young man just now, so they had no choice but to return to the store.

The old man looked out the door and then at the money on the table. Suddenly he burst into tears: "This money is too much. It is not easy for young people to make money now."

"Maybe he is the big boss."

The landlady comforted her.

Of course she didn't think so in her heart, she just thought that the other party was a caring young man. After all, no big boss would come to eat in her small dumpling restaurant.

"That young man is so kind. If I had known better, I wouldn't have charged him for the dumplings."

The landlady thought secretly in her heart.

She recalled the appearance of the young man just now, and she made a note that if he came over next time, she would treat him to a meal of dumplings for free.

The shop owner sorted out the banknotes, stuffed them into the old man's hand, and said, "Put it away. I'm thinking of you too. You're looking for someone in Shanghai. You need to spend money in many places. If you don't have money, you won't be able to eat." I'm full, how can I take Niuniu to find her father?"

"You are all good people, thank you, thank you."

The old man took the money and wiped his tears with his sleeve.

Only then did the boss think of what the young man said when he was paying the bill. He asked: "Honey, do we have a relative or friend named Li Zhicai in our family? I can't remember."

"No, what's wrong?"

The landlady was a little surprised.

The boss frowned and said, "The young man reminded me just now that Li Zhi was a gambler and had taken drugs. He probably recognized the wrong person."

"It must be a mistake. We don't have such a relative in our family."

The landlady thought about it carefully and determined that they really didn't know this person.

At this time, the phone rang.

The landlady picked it up, looked at it, and said with a smile, "It's our daughter's phone number."

"He is going to take the exam today. He should have finished it by now. I wonder if he can get the accounting certificate this time?"

"Ask if you don't know."

The landlady took the phone.

"Mom, I'll be back later. My colleague introduced me to a boyfriend and asked me to meet him. I can't refuse."

"Damn girl, this is a good thing. You are over 20 years old and it's time for you to find a boyfriend. Which colleague introduced you to me? Is it reliable? What's your name and where do you live?"

"Mom, how do I know this? I just know his name. He seems to be called Li Zhicai. He is an undergraduate. I couldn't save my face, so I went to meet him. I will go home in the afternoon."

"Oh, good good..."

The phone hangs up.

The boss's wife said: "My daughter said that her colleague introduced her to a boyfriend named Li Zhicai, and she said she wanted to meet him."

"What's your name, Li Zhicai?"

"Yes, Li Zhi..."

The landlady had been chatting with her daughter just now. She didn't realize that when she mentioned this, she suddenly thought of what her husband said just now.

The boss's expression suddenly changed and he said, "Call my daughter and ask her to come back immediately. If she doesn't obey, I'll break her legs!"

"Don't be so fierce, I'll call her back right now."

The proprietress also called back in a panic. She made an excuse, saying that she was not feeling well, and asked her daughter to come back quickly.

After hanging up the phone, she exhaled and said, "My daughter will be back soon. Tell me, is what the young man said just now true or false?"

"Whether it's true or not, we can't let our daughter take this risk... If she is really a gambler, has taken drugs, and deceives our daughter again, then her life will be ruined."

The boss said in a stern tone.

Facing his daughter, the usually amiable shop owner couldn't hold back.

I thought back to what happened just now.

He said.

"That young man is a good man. He casually gave thousands of dollars to this old man. He must be very caring and wouldn't lie to us. He probably knew about it and came to remind us."

Preconceived.

In their hearts, Li Chenyang is a good person. Of course, a good person would not lie to them, so what he said must be true.

When he thought that his daughter might be introduced to a gambler or a drug addict, he felt a little scared.

If no one had reminded them of this matter, they would probably still be happy now.

I just don’t know what the young man’s name is, whether he knows his daughter, and why he knows about this.

"I'll go find out some other time. If it's true, then the young man saved our family."

The landlady looked outside the door.

The boss also curiously asked: "Does that young man live nearby? I haven't seen him before."

"I don't know, maybe he moved here recently. I remember his appearance. If I come here next time, I will definitely remember him."

"That's good. I'll have to thank him properly next time."

……

In a dilapidated neighborhood.

Not a single plant or tree seems to have changed much.

The walls of Building [-] are still covered with ivy, densely packed and green!
After coming out of the dumpling shop, Li Chenyang walked directly into the community through the door next to him. This is why the shop owner chased him out and found no one.

When I came here and filled my stomach, I naturally wanted to see the place where I once lived.After all, he has lived here for several years.The unit door is locked.

He had no intention of going in. He just raised his head from a distance and looked at the house above.

He used to live on the sixth floor.

The climate in Shanghai was very humid. There were several absorbent bags hung in the room where he lived at that time.

An old man walked over from the door carrying a folding table.

Li Chenyang's eyes lit up when he saw the person coming.

Before he could speak, the old man came over and said, "Young man, are you here to look at the house? I still have an empty house, do you want to take a look?"

Needless to say, the way he was looking around made people misunderstand that he was here to rent a house. After all, such a handsome young man like him should not be a thief.

"How much is it a month?"

Li Chenyang asked with a smile.

This old man was too familiar to him. He was the former landlord.

He is the one who has been clamoring to give his house to whoever will provide for him in old age.

The old man looked at Li Chenyang carefully and said, "A standard room with a bathroom and a small kitchen costs [-] a month."

"Three thousand and five thousand, it's too expensive."

Li Chenyang shook his head directly.

In fact, the price is not expensive.

It's even a little cheaper.

When he rented a house, it cost five thousand, and that was only a few years later.

When Li Chenyang said it was too expensive, the old man blew his beard and glared, saying: "Don't you look, where is this house? It's two miles away from Lujiazui. Three thousand and five thousand is the cheapest price. Others cost four thousand." Well, your young man has just come out, so it’s normal that you can’t afford the rent, but you can’t say that my rent is expensive.”

"Hey, I'd better continue to live in Qiaodong. I can't afford to rent a house in Shanghai." Li Chenyang sighed.

"Do you live in a bridge cave?"

"Why not?"

"It doesn't look like it. It's too clean."

Li Chenyang just teased him. Although this old man was the landlord, he had a good relationship with him in his previous life, and he was both a teacher and a friend.

"Looking for someone to play chess? Can I play with you?"

Li Chenyang looked at the old man carrying the bag.

This is so economical. How many years have this bag been used?

"Can you play chess?"

The old man was surprised.

"Yes, the technology is okay."

"Come on, come on, if you're okay, let's kill two of them."

"Just sit on the ground."

"There are flower beds over there."

After half an hour.

"General!"

Li Chenyang pushed the car over, but the other coach had no way to go.

When the old man saw it, he wanted to regret his move, but found that the defeat was certain and he could only save it by taking several steps back. He pushed the chess piece and said, "I lost, come back again."

10 minute later.

"Again."

"I didn't see clearly. I regret it."

"No, no, you regret your move. Didn't my rook just be in vain by you? You were greedy and deserved to lose."

Li Chenyang's skills could only be considered average, but this old man was a bad chess player, even worse than him, and he lost two games in a row very quickly.

"You have good skills, but you don't respect the elderly and care for the young. How about you play chess and chat with me when you have free time after get off work, and I will give you less money in my house?"

"How many?"

"It's two thousand and five cents. There is no such low price anywhere five miles away."

"No, my salary is only three thousand."

"The salary is three thousand, what are you doing here in Shanghai? You are not afraid of starving to death. Two thousand is the minimum."

"The most I can offer is five hundred."

"I, the old man, also have to live. You are going too far. It is impossible. Two thousand is the minimum. No matter how hard it is, it cannot be less."

It was obvious that the old man was very sincere and offered a price of [-] yuan. If the house was sold to an agent, he could get [-] yuan.

"Forget it, it's still too expensive and I can't afford to rent it. You're right. A monthly salary of three thousand is really meaningless in Shanghai. I plan to go back and settle down. I'll rent your house again when I have the opportunity, Lao Ye. "

"Wait, how do you know my surname is Ye."

"That's what you said just now."

"I did not say!"
