"You need my help?" Grandma Liu smiled when she heard that. "We're neighbors, and you call me grandma. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. And you're so polite."
"Hey, that's not what I meant." Zhou Yi said with a smile, "This is an apology to you."
"Okay, Xiao Zhou, take a seat first. I'll get you a glass of water."
Soon a cup of tea was brought over and placed on the coffee table. Grandma Liu said cheerfully, "Tell me, Xiao Zhou, what do you want me to do for you? I'm telling you, I know all the good unmarried girls in this neighborhood. Do you have any..."
Cough cough!
Zhou Yi coughed twice quickly. Could it be that Grandma Liu has a sharp eye?
It's so scary that you can tell at a glance that you're single!
"No, grandma. Actually, I want to ask you for help because I want to rent your house." Zhou Yi quickly expressed his thoughts.
For a kind-hearted person like Grandma Liu, you can't be fake polite to her, just say what you want to say.
Grandma Liu was really surprised this time. She originally wondered if Zhou Yi wanted her to introduce him to a partner, but he actually said he wanted to rent her house?
"Xiao Zhou, haven't you already bought the house downstairs? Why do you still want to rent my house?" Grandma Liu asked curiously.
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Grandma, I'm not just renting your house. I'm also planning to rent all the houses on the 16th, 17th, and 18th floors of Unit 1, except for your neighbor!"
Grandma Liu's face was full of confusion: "Xiao Zhou, you are alone, why do you rent so many houses? It's not like... Wait, what are you thinking..."
Although she was old, Grandma Liu was quick to react and quickly realized that if all three floors were rented out except for her neighbor, it would mean that there would be no one around her neighbor.
After a brief hesitation, Grandma Liu said, "Xiao Zhou, this... there's no need to be like this. They're all neighbors, and you've already called the police today, and the officer told them not to disturb the neighbors anymore. Look at this..."
Zhou Yi smiled when he heard this. Grandma Liu was the typical good person in the neighborhood. She was always kind-hearted when it came to her neighbors' problems, but she was also soft-hearted.
"Grandma Liu, I already call you Grandma, so let's be honest. You've been neighbors with the Xu Yufeng family for so long, you know them better than I do!"
"You were the one who told me at the beginning that this family was a bunch of scoundrels. So do you think they would stop even if that police officer said so?"
"I don't think so. I think they are just villains. Villains seek revenge from morning till night. I called the police and made them lose face. Will they let me go so easily?"
"So, if you want to solve this problem, you have to do it once and for all!"
Grandma Liu didn't know what to say. She knew that what Zhou Yi said was true.
The family next door is said to be a scoundrel, but scoundrels sometimes inexplicably care about face. If you hurt their face, they will even blame you. It's so speechless.
But if Zhou Yi rented his own house...
Seeing Grandma Liu's hesitation, Zhou Yi immediately struck while the iron was hot and said, "Grandma Liu, you don't have to worry about other things. You two are free anyway, so you can go wherever you want to play."
"Or if you really don't want to go out, I'll find you two a place to stay outside. A famous hotel in Jingzhou City, or anywhere else, is fine. I'll pay for it, including the other neighbors!"
"If that doesn't work, I can give you extra money. Anyway, I don't want his family to have an easy time!"
Grandma Liu really couldn't refuse this time. In her opinion, Xiao Zhou was really sincere. Not only did he rent their house and pay the rent, he also provided them with a place to live when they moved out.
You even have to pay extra!
Although money cannot fully represent sincerity, when given enough, the sincerity is indeed sufficient!
As I said, Grandma Liu is soft-hearted and not good at rejecting others...
"Xiao Zhou, since you've said that, it's hard for grandma to refuse. Okay, just like you said, we old couple have nothing to do anyway."
"But you have to talk to all the neighbors upstairs and downstairs one by one. I think you have to be mentally prepared to ask them to move out suddenly. It's quite difficult to ask so many families to move out..."
"It's no problem, Grandma Liu. Just take me with you to help me get to know the place. After all, I just moved here and I'm not very familiar with the people there."
Everything was agreed upon. A little later, Grandma Liu took Zhou Yi to visit each house and persuade them one by one.
Even though it’s just Grandma Liu who’s with her, the nature of this is very different!
If Zhou Yi went to the neighbors' house himself, they might even think he was a liar who rented their house to do something illegal.
But it’s different with Grandma Liu here. She has lived in this building for many years and everyone knows how warm and welcoming she is. It’s like Grandma Liu is acting as a guarantor.
So things went very smoothly at Zhou Yi's neighbor's house downstairs. They were also two elderly people and they agreed very readily.
The first one on the 18th floor also went relatively smoothly. When a young couple heard that Zhou Yi could pay for them to go on a trip, they agreed faster than anyone else, even fearing that Zhou Yi would go back on his word.
However, there were some problems when we got to the second house on the 18th floor.
"Grandma Liu, this young man is a little stupid, just because Xu Yufeng's family makes him unable to sleep, he plans to rent this place and do something?" The man in the family called Grandma Liu aside and asked.
Grandma Liu nodded: "Not really, this guy is a very good person, he's just a little serious..."
