Chapter 18 Far Worse Than He Thought

Bi Luochun, who held the umbrella for him, sniffed the smell in the air and said, "It smells so good! But it seems that President Li will not be lucky tonight!"

"Even if I invite you, are you willing to eat?" Li Liancheng turned his face and glanced at Bi Luochun.

He asked Bi Luochun to send Xia Xiaochi back just to see her family situation with his own eyes, but according to the current situation, the situation is much worse than he imagined.

In a small black room with a size of more than ten square meters, a curtain separates the main room and the bedroom. On rainy days, the lights are not turned on. There is basically no difference between day and night. The worst thing is the kitchen built with three asbestos tiles. Just blow it down.

The aroma of the vegetables really touched Li Liancheng's stomach. It's hard to imagine that Xia Xiaochi can cook such delicious dishes in this kind of place!
Put less oil, don't fry too old vegetables!

Just as he was about to end his "inspection", he saw someone at Xia Xiaochi's house, and he stopped again.

In the hut, Xia Xiaochi and his mother were having dinner around the small wooden table. When the mother and daughter were busy serving food for each other, the landlady came.

"Yo! Let's eat!"

Mrs. Pang, the chunky landlady, put away her umbrella and walked into the house. Her eyes fell on the green vegetables and tofu, and the smile on her face disappeared suddenly.

Mrs. Pang makes a living by renting out houses, and she has met all kinds of tenants. As a shrewd woman, she can deduce from the food conditions of the tenants' homes how likely they are to receive rent.

Tenants who can afford meat will naturally be able to pay the rent, but the three times they come here are the owners of green vegetables and tofu, the possibility of paying the rent is uncertain.

"It's Mrs. Pang!" Xia Xiaochi's mother put down the bowl and chopsticks, immediately stood up and greeted her with an apologetic smile.

"Well! Sister Peng, do you think it's time to pay this month's rent today?" Mrs. Pang said straight to the point.

"That's right!" Mother agreed on the one hand, but looked at Xia Xiaochi on the other.

"Aunt Pang, can you give me another two days? Our company pays the salary in two days, and I will send it to you as soon as the salary is paid. Do you think so?" Xia Xiaochi stood up and said politely.

"I need another two days' grace? How many days is this grace? Aren't you kidding me? It's raining!" Mrs. Pang's face turned pale and she said very rudely.

"Aunt Pang, we have rented a house in your house for 4 years. May I ask if we owe you a penny? This time, I haven't received my salary, and I didn't mean to default on your rent. Please give me another two days , okay?"

Xia Xiaochi's tone was close to begging, who would have to bow his head under the low eaves!
"I have seen many tenants like you, even if they have money, they still refuse to pay the rent! If one or two of you are like you, my whole family won't drink the Northwest Wind! Hurry up and pay the rent." We are still neighbors!" Mrs. Pang raised her eyebrows and said harshly.

"You can ask me to pay the rent! But, you must fix our house first!"

Xia Xiaochi really couldn't bear her unkind attitude. Anyway, asking for money today is not a life-threatening thing, and she has nothing to be afraid of.

Mrs. Pang didn't seem to have expected that Xia Xiaochi's sudden domineering posture made her furious. Just as she was about to get angry, she was stopped by Xia Xiaochi's mother.

"I said Mrs. Pang, the northwest corner of our house should be repaired! It's cold and rainy, and it's really impossible to live in!"

"Why can't you live? I don't think you live well?"

Mrs. Pang glanced at the northwest corner of the house, and she really saw that a large area of ​​the wall was soaked, but she had no intention of repairing it, so she stepped back and said, "Don't make any excuses for me! For the sake of regular customers, I'll give you another 2 days! If you can't pay the rent after two days, don't blame me for being rude!"
