Chapter 045 Black Blind Man

Hei Xiazi is a tough, thick-skinned man who can take a beating very well. Apart from talking a little too much and speaking in a bit of a mean tone, Zhang Qiling is extremely satisfied with this human-shaped sandbag and nanny who also runs errands for him.

Well, of course, Zhang Qiling has never expressed this idea.

Because he didn't want Hei Xia Zi to feel that his thoughts were impolite, Zhang Qiling even gave his bank card to Hei Xia Zi.

Hei Xia Zi was very satisfied with this, and Zhang Qiling was also very satisfied.

Anyway, whenever he needed something to go to the tomb, he would call Hei Xia Zi to ask him to buy it, and occasionally when he asked him to buy vegetables, it was Hei Xia Zi who gave him money.

I have no desires or demands, and I don't need money on a regular basis. If I leave the card with Hei Xia Zi, I don't have to worry about losing it if I lose my memory.

Given that Hei Xia Zi loves money like his life, Zhang Qiling felt very relieved to put the money in his hands.

Their thoughts wandered away for a moment, and when they came to their senses, the two of them had already left the tomb and were walking in the woods.

Because Zhang Qiling didn't answer for a long time, Zhang Moyu thought he had something to hide. When he was already considering who to ask to buy the house, Zhang Qiling finally spoke.

"Beijing, western suburbs courtyard."

As for the specific location, Zhang Qiling said that he had never remembered this thing, and he would naturally recognize it when he arrived at a familiar place.

Zhang Moyu knew that the capital city was the current government capital and was heard to be very prosperous and advanced. He had visited several cities during this period and had spent the rest of his time in the deep mountains and forests, so he hadn't seen any of them yet.

They had a safe journey and it was almost evening when they arrived in the capital. Zhang Qiling took him directly to Hei Xiazi's courtyard.

When looking outside the yard, Zhang Moyu felt a little comforted.

The architectural style of the courtyard house is very much in line with his aesthetic taste. Looking at this wealthy family and the ancient and heavy buildings, his children must be living a good life.

However, when the door opened, Zhang Moyu's impression of this residence took a sharp turn, a 180-degree turn.

The new green of this year can be seen among the yellow weeds. On the withered old branches there is a half-rotten bird's nest destroyed by wind and rain, and there are scattered spider webs swaying in the air, telling of loneliness.

The rockery and flowing water also looked like no one had taken care of them for a long time, and a sense of desolation was overwhelming.

The rockery in the yard was covered in withered vines, so dense that you couldn't discern its shape unless you looked closely. The pond was filled with a layer of stagnant, dark green water at the very bottom. Even insects, let alone fish, would have shaken their heads in dismay at the sight.

Walking around the front hall and into the backyard, it is obvious that except for the master bedroom and the guest room on the right, the other rooms are unoccupied and the doors are all locked.

"Does anyone live with you?"

After a long pause, Zhang Moyu finally said something. Zhang Qiling nodded and mentioned it casually.

"Friend, I'm staying with you."

After he said this, Zhang Moyu understood that this was Zhang Qiling's friend's home, not his home.

But this situation is not bad. The child doesn't look like he can take care of himself. Fortunately, he has friends to look after him.

For a moment, Zhang Moyu's favorable impression towards Zhang Qiling, a friend he had never met before, increased dramatically, and he was already thinking about what gift to give him when they met.

Hei Xia Zi, who had just returned from buying vegetables, sneezed at the door and saw that the door had been opened. He realized that Zhang Qiling had returned.

He looked down at the naked old hen in his hand and couldn't help but complain in his heart that Zhang Qiling came at the right time.

A meat shop in the vegetable market happened to be having a sale today, so he took a walk around and picked out the freshest old hen, ready to bring it back for his own meal.

Looking at the current situation, he can't have it all to himself.

Hei Xia Zi felt a little sorry and planned to put the dishes in the kitchen first, and then go to see if Zhang Qiling was injured this time.

The man didn't care about his own physical condition at all and expected this lonely old man to worry about him.

Hei Xia Zi decided that if he saw Zhang Qiling seriously injured, he would give him a bad mouth, and with the temptation of blood-replenishing Chinese medicine and "Chicken You Are So Beautiful", he was bound to leave a deep impression on Zhang Qiling.

After putting the dishes away, Hei Xia Zi went to the backyard. He didn't see anyone, but he faintly heard a voice coming from the room next to Zhang Qiling. It was Zhang Qiling and another strange male voice talking.

"Your friend...lives here...rent..."

"No need... I have money..."

Hearing this conversation, Hei Xia Zi acted faster than his brain, rushed over without thinking, and yelled subconsciously.

"You must pay! The rent cannot be less!"

Zhang Moyu and another person who were wiping the cabinet with wet towels stopped at the same time when they heard Hei Xia Zi's roar.

Two pairs of similar eyes, one pair was cold, the other pair was penetrating into people's hearts. The pressure they cast at the same time made the anxious Black Blind Man subconsciously take a step back.

The courage he had just shown to charge for money disappeared in an instant. He walked into the house as if nothing had happened, then took out a rag from the basin and skillfully joined in the work, chattering non-stop while helping.

"Hey, my friend, let me tell you, this is my home, and that dumb person has no say in the matter. If you want to live here, you have to pay the rent!

Look at the environment here, it's a standard Beijing courtyard house, with mountains, water, and lawns. You can live in any room you want, and you can even provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner for an additional fee..."

Seeing that Zhang Qiling had already taken people to his house to clean up, Hei Xiazi was sure that he would stay there. With the idea of ​​making as much money as possible, he tried his best to promote his house and services, and repeatedly emphasized that rent must be paid.

Zhang Moyu knew that this person had misunderstood what he and Zhang Qiling had just said. Zhang Qiling was not the kind of person who would explain much, and he didn't want to create a rift between the two of them, so he took the initiative to defend Zhang Qiling.

"You misunderstood. What we were talking about earlier was your overdue rent for the house you rented."

Hearing this, Hei Xia Zi, who had just been speaking righteously, suddenly fell silent.

Because he didn't have an ID card and had a criminal case a few years ago, the house was taken over by the Jie family. It is now under the name of Jie Yuchen, but he has been living there for so many years without paying rent, relying on his relationship with Jie Yuchen.

"Well, it's getting late now. I'm going to cook. You two can continue cleaning."

Feeling a little pain in his face and teeth, Hei Xia Zi was ready to go to the kitchen to cook dinner dejectedly. Before leaving, he looked back eagerly and spoke weakly.

"Um...rent?"

Zhang Qiling felt that Hei Xia Zi was a little annoying, so he looked at him coldly and said something cruel.

"Even if I have it, it's not for you."

How can a tenant’s tenant pay rent to another tenant?

Hei Xia Zi felt that what Zhang Qiling said made sense, but it didn't stop him from feeling heartbroken.
