Chapter 7
"Hey, the landlord left your things at the door!" The neighbor nearby couldn't help but remind Ke Xin when he saw her.
I saw that she had a ponytail and a slim body. When she came towards me, she exuded the energy of a female college graduate. She was wearing a slim yoga suit and had a clean and refreshed face. It seemed that she was going to the gym.
After hearing what she said, Ke Xin subconsciously turned sideways across the corridor and happened to see all her things piled up outside the door. She thought to herself: "I haven't had time to settle the score with him yet, but he's already taken advantage of me!"
Then I saw the girl preparing to leave.
Ke Xin regained her composure and turned to ask, "Did you help call the police that time?"
"Yes!" The girl nodded slightly.
"Thank you!" Ke Xin gave him a grateful look!
The girl smiled and waved her hand: "You're welcome!"
Ke Xin couldn't help but smile warmly as she rarely encountered such chivalrous spirit between girls.
At this moment, the landlord's shadow flashed by. Ke Xin, with her sharp eyes, chased after him and cursed, "Landlord, why did you throw all my things out the door? Why did you give the spare key to my ex-husband?"
Seeing this, the girl took the opportunity to stop the landlord and said, "Landlord, you have to give us an explanation, otherwise how can we, as tenants, live in your house with peace of mind!"
The landlord craned his neck at first and said seriously, "That man said he was your husband and showed me his marriage certificate. He also said you had a mental problem and had schizophrenia. I thought schizophrenia means crazy. I wonder if you'll die in my house or be killed by someone random. I'm even more scared. I was thinking about asking your husband to take you away for the safety of the tenants, but who knew he'd end up at the police station!"
At the end of the conversation, the landlord couldn't hold back his face anymore and turned away to hide the guilty feeling that flashed through his mind.
Ke Xin was completely speechless. She pointed at the landlord's nose and yelled, "First, we're divorced. He's my ex-husband. We have no relationship. Second, you believe everything he says. Don't you know to ask me? Besides, you believe him when he says he's schizophrenic. Why don't you believe him? He's the lunatic!"
"Yes," the neighbor beside him nodded in agreement.
"Okay, what's the point of saying this now? I've already paid the compensation you asked for from the police. It's just my bad luck. You should move out!" The landlord wiped his sweat off his forehead and sighed with a murderous look on his face.
Ke Xin put her hands on her hips and let out a breath. In the end, she could only take a small amount of compensation and continue looking for a house.
At this moment, she once again had an extremely strong desire to buy a house.
Just when I was feeling extremely bored, another text message came from my phone.
"Ke Xin, your brother has a baby and we're short of 20,000 yuan for the hundred-day banquet. Give it to me now!"
When Ke Xin saw it, she couldn't help laughing and added the phone number to the blacklist!
The next day, Ke Xin finally finished moving, but Jia Qi's phone calls were like a death warrant, and she kept calling.
Ke Xin answered the phone and honestly sent Jia Qi her location.
"Mom, is this Aunt Jiaqi calling?" Baobao was eating noodles very slowly. She only ate half a bowl after Ke Xin finished her meal and made a phone call.
"Yes, Aunt Jiaqi will be here soon. Let's finish our meal quickly, wash up, and get up to sleep. We have to get up early to go to kindergarten tomorrow!"
Ke Xin hung up the phone, touched her plump hair, couldn't help pinching her chubby face, and said affectionately.
"Okay," Bao Bao smiled sweetly, looked at the little bit of rice left in the bowl, and then he finished it vigorously. Holding the empty bowl in both hands, he said to Ke Xin with a face that said, "Mom, look, I ate it all. Isn't it great!"
Ke Xin breathed a sigh of relief and immediately went to the balcony to hang up the washed clothes. She turned around and gave Bao Bao a thumbs up: "Our Bao Bao is awesome! He doesn't waste any food!"
"Mom, there seems to be something making a noise in the kitchen." When Baobao was wiping his mouth with a tissue, he suddenly heard the sound of trickling water in the kitchen. Curious, he went closer to take a look.
After hearing what Bao Bao said, Ke Xin pricked up her ears and listened. She could indeed hear the sound of dripping water. She couldn't help but look for the source of the sound. Sure enough, water was dripping at the bottom of the stove. "Oh, is it leaking?"
The sound and the water drops were so small that she could not notice them if she was not paying attention, but by the time she realized it, they had already moved in.
Ke Xin pulled Bao Bao away, then squatted down with a plastic basin to catch the dripping water from the pipe. The house she rented was an old building that was about twenty years old. Ke Xin had never encountered a leaking pipe before. Usually, if there was any problem with the house, she only needed to tell the property management and wait for them to repair it.
She had only moved in for one day when she encountered this problem. Just as she had reported the situation to the landlord, there was a knock on the door.
I thought it was the landlord who came to check on the situation, but unexpectedly it was Jiaqi standing outside the door.
"You're living in a place like this. It's too shabby. The kitchen leaks. How can you live here?" Jiaqi walked slowly into the house in her stilettos. She glanced around, her eyes sympathetic yet surprised. "Sister, I really admire you for being able to accept this kind of disparity. If it were me, I'd probably be upset for months."
As Jiaqi was speaking, Baobao ran up to her and hugged her thighs with his chubby little hands: "Aunt Jiaqi, you are finally here. I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Oh, my lovely Baobao, auntie came here last time, but you were asleep at that time, so I didn't disturb you. Here, look what auntie Jiaqi brought you!" Jiaqi immediately smiled like an auntie, squatted down, took out a small doll from her bag mysteriously, and opened her palm to put it in front of Baobao.
"Wow, this is my favorite Elsa doll," Bao Bao received it with a smile on his face. "Thank you, Aunt Jiaqi. I like it very much."
Jiaqi held Baobao's small body in her arms lovingly. Smelling the sweet milky scent of the child, Jiaqi couldn't help but put her face close to him and said, "If you like it, it's too late now. Next time, I'll take you out to eat, drink, play, go shopping and buy you ice cream.
"Great, Aunt Jiaqi, I love you the most." Baobao danced with joy.
Ke Xin couldn't help but smile as she watched the two of them singing in unison. Finally, she checked the time and urged, "Okay, Bao Bao, the teacher said we need to get to school early tomorrow to prepare for the flag-raising ceremony, so you should go to bed early tonight. Your Aunt Jiaqi and I have something to talk about!"
Bao Bao nodded tactfully, and finally, not forgetting to look back every few steps, he reminded Jia Qi in a baby voice: "Okay, but Aunt Jia Qi, I'm waiting for you to take me out to play."
Jiaqi smiled like an auntie: "Auntie will definitely know, you can go to sleep without worry!"
"Okay!" Baobao responded and climbed onto the bed happily.
Ke Xin was afraid that Baobao would get used to his bed, so she copied Baobao's original sheets and pillowcases exactly to create a look and smell similar to the original ones.
Sure enough, Baobao did not show any rejection, and lay obediently on the bed holding her Kuromi doll.
Ke Xin saw this and was obviously relieved.
Although the whole house had been tidied up and clean, when two adults sat on the sofa, the room immediately seemed cramped.
Ke Xin lay on the sofa and recounted to Jia Qi everything that had happened to her landlord over the past two days and how she had sent Wei Jie to the police station.
Jiaqi's scalp tingled when she heard this: "Oh my God, how could Weijie be such a person? If I had known earlier, he wouldn't deserve to have offspring, and he even secretly hid the child. And if you send me the name and address of your previous landlord, I'll post it online in a few days so people can avoid him!"
Jiaqi looked anxious, her fingers flying across the touch screen of her phone, as if with just a word from Kexin, she could make the landlord nowhere to hide in the online world.
"Forget it." Ke Xin blocked Jia Qi's phone with her hand and changed the subject, "But I can't help but be angry about Wei Jie!"
Jiaqi suddenly had an idea: "Just wait, I have a way to make him suffer the consequences." After saying that, she folded her arms and acted like a social sister.
Ke Xin leaned forward and whispered, "What's the solution?"
Jiaqi glanced at her and said mysteriously, "Don't ask me, I have my own way!"
Ke Xin grumbled, the fatigue of the past few days instantly melted away by the precious warmth from Jia Qi. Her face was filled with both emotion and helplessness: "I didn't expect that after all this twists and turns, this man can't even compare to my best friend!"
"Oh, oh, oh, that dirty thing is not worthy to be compared with me," Jiaqi widened her eyes and blurted out subconsciously.
"I'm going back first. You take care of yourself. If you have any problems, call me!" When Jiaqi heard about Weijie, her face turned black and she left with her bag.
After sending Jiaqi away, Ke Xin looked back and saw that the plastic basin was already full of water, so she poured the water into the sink and filled it again.
When she opened the landlord's dialog box, there was still no reply. Ke Xin's eyes were empty. What should she do? It was always dripping like this. Did she have to watch it all night without sleep?
No, seeing that the landlord ignored her, Ke Xin dialed the other party's voice number.
After calling three times, the other party finally answered: "Landlord, I'm the tenant. There's a water leak in that room. Would you like to come and take a look? It's keeping me awake at night. I'm afraid the water will flow into the living room and damage your furniture."
The kitchen and the living room are connected. If the water is a little bigger, it will definitely overflow the living room. Although the landlord's furniture looks cheap, in order to avoid disputes, she still has to say the ugly words up front.
The other party said "Hello", and Ke Xin clearly felt that the other party's tone was unfriendly, but after hearing Ke Xin's polite tone, he paused for a moment and then responded politely: "Oh, I was busy just now. So, you take a video and I'll check the situation. I'll contact the property management and get back to you later!"
"OK!"
After hanging up the phone, Ke Xin sent the video to the landlord truthfully. While she was talking, the water in the basin was almost overflowing again.
