Chapter 43: Sub-Landlord Selection
After buying the gold, Yang Fangqin and Zhong Hui went upstairs to look at clothes. Zhong Xiong followed behind them like a bodyguard, responsible for carrying things throughout the whole process.
"That's about it. I can't even lift my hands." Zhong Xiong could still hold on at first, but after walking up two floors, he couldn't hold on any longer.
He no longer wanted to accompany a woman shopping, or accompany his wife and sister together.
"Wait a minute, I still have to go upstairs to look at shoes." Yang Fangqin turned around and said unhappily, "If it really doesn't work, find a place to sit."
"I'll just sit here. You can come find me later." Zhong Xiong didn't want to leave at all.
Seeing her elder brother's dejected look, he was completely different from when he just got the car. Zhong Hui couldn't help laughing.
They did buy a lot today. Not to mention Yang Fangqin, Zhong Hui bought more than ten sets of clothes for herself in one go. She decided to throw out all the clothes in the closet.
"Come on, let's go upstairs. I don't have any shoes to match my clothes." Yang Fangqin ignored Zhong Xiong and pulled Zhong Hui up the escalator to the third floor.
The third floor is full of shoes, from all kinds of brands. Zhong Hui bought four pairs of shoes in one go. This woman can't be stopped when she spends money.
"Are we still going to the fourth floor?" Yang Fangqin was also a little tired from shopping.
"Go ahead, I want to buy some clothes for Linlin too." Zhong Hui is not someone who would forget her daughter.
Yang Fangqin felt a little embarrassed, as she had forgotten about her husband Zhong Xu. If Zhong Xu knew about this, he would probably criticize her.
Okay, let’s go. The two went to the children’s clothing area on the fourth floor and bought three sets for Zhong Linlin and Zhong Xu respectively.
"Okay, children grow up fast, and they won't be able to wear them for long. Let's not waste them." Yang Fangqin said, "When I think of Zhong Xu lying on the ground playing cards with people every day, I don't want to buy him anything."
"You don't want to buy it for Zhong Xu, right?" Zhong Hui couldn't help laughing.
"He doesn't deserve it." Yang Fangqin said angrily, "Zhong Xu scored 36 points in the Chinese language test this time."
"Failed again?" Zhong Hui didn't know what to say. She was already in the fifth grade.
Fortunately, her daughter Linlin studies hard and is in the third grade this semester. She can still score above 90 points in all exams.
"Alas, I made up for it during the summer vacation, but there was no improvement. What will happen in the future?" Yang Fangqin said with worry.
"Don't worry, there will always be a way out. Let's go look at some cosmetics later."
"Okay." Yang Fangqin felt happier.
There were a lot of clothes in the children's area on the fourth floor. Zhong Hui not only bought some for Linlin, but also bought a set for the other three girls in the family.
Then, the two sisters-in-law went down to the beauty area on the first floor and bought a set of cosmetics each, and were finally satisfied.
Zhong Xiong also breathed a sigh of relief, finally finishing his shopping. Zhong Xiong glanced at the shopping bags hanging on his arms, his old arms and legs were finally free.
I put all the things I bought into the trunk of the car, and it almost didn't fit in. You can see how much I bought.
"Where are we going now?" After putting his things away, Zhong Xiong turned around and asked the two aunts.
"Let's go eat. It's past noon and we're hungry," said Yang Fangqin.
"Okay, but I have to go back after dinner. My phone has been ringing off the hook this morning." Zhong Hui was helpless. Her phone had been ringing non-stop this morning, all from calls to her renter.
She is out, and she agreed to show the house in the afternoon.
"Now you know it's not easy to be a landlord, you should find a sub-landlord as soon as possible." Yang Fangqin said.
"I miss him too, but I can't find anyone right now." Zhong Hui was also worried.
"Are you looking for the sub-landlord?" Zhong Xiong suddenly said, turning around to look.
Yang Fangqin was scared to death: "Drive carefully and watch the road."
Zhong Hui also said: "Brother, look ahead."
"Yes, I want to find a sub-landlord. I'm confused by all these people looking for houses to rent every day. What's the matter? Do you have any candidates?"
"If you want to find one, I actually have one. Do you still remember Zheng Benming?"
"I remember, my cousin's son on my mother's side, the tall one, had good academic performance when he was a child." Zhong Hui remembered it when she heard Zhong Xiong mention it.
Speaking of which, all the relatives on her mother's side were very heartless. At that time, her family was in financial difficulty, and everyone avoided them. Only this cousin was relatively kind to them.
Unfortunately, my cousin's aunt had a bad fate and became a widow early. She was unwilling to remarry and lived with her only son.
This cousin had excellent academic performance at that time and was considered a potential college student. Unfortunately, he lost one eye in an accident when he was in junior high school and later dropped out of school.
Zhong Hui hasn't heard from him for a long time these years.
"Yes, that's him. He came to me a few days ago and wanted me to find him a job. As you know, his eyesight is not very good, so many jobs don't want him. He has been working on the construction site all the time. Recently, the contractor he followed didn't want him because of his eyesight.
I was originally thinking of asking him to go to my construction site, but when you said you wanted to find the sub-landlord, I suddenly remembered him. Daming is a tall and strong man who can intimidate people at first sight. If he goes to collect the rent, no one will dare to default on it."
Although Zhong Xiong was joking, his words did make sense. She was afraid that some tenants would be unreasonable and she would not be able to cope with them.
"I think Brother Daming is quite suitable. So, brother, can you ask Brother Daming for me to see if he is willing?" Zhong Hui said immediately.
"Of course he'd be willing to be a sub-landlord. He could just collect rent, change plumbing and light bulbs, etc. It's much more comfortable than working on a construction site. If he doesn't want to, he'd be a fool."
"Just ask if I ask you. You're the only one who talks too much." Yang Fangqin muttered.
The three of them found a local restaurant and had lunch before going back. By the time they got home, it was already past two in the afternoon.
Another tenant called, and Zhong Hui didn't even have time to drink her water. She hurriedly took the key and prepared to go downstairs.
"Zhong Hui, Daming is here, come over and chat with him first." As soon as she reached the door, she saw Zhong Xiong was about to come to her.
"Hey." Zhong Hui didn't press the elevator button and went straight to Zhong Xiong's house.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Zheng Benmin sitting awkwardly on the sofa, a big dark guy with his hands placed helplessly on both sides.
"Brother Daming."
"Hey, Sister Xiaohui." Zheng Benmin smiled innocently and called her by her childhood nickname.
Zhong Hui felt a little embarrassed, but it was difficult to correct him, so she didn't bother to correct him. She just asked directly, "Brother Daming, are you willing to be the sub-landlord?"
"Fuck!" Zheng Benmin sat up straighter and responded loudly.
