Chapter 8
Ke Xin hurriedly poured the basin of water into the sink.
She walked back and forth, looking at Baobao who had fallen asleep, and felt a sense of sadness in her heart. She tucked the quilt for Baobao gently, and heard the buzzing sound of mosquitoes from time to time.
Originally, Ke Xin lived on a high floor and had never encountered mosquitoes. But when mosquitoes suddenly appeared, she remembered that she had not bought mosquito repellent liquid. It seemed that she would have to chase away mosquitoes and pour water all night, and she would not be able to sleep well.
While waiting for the landlord, Ke Xin created a business map, sorted out her next work plan, and discussed her ideas with Jia Qi. After confirming that they were correct, she sent the edited copy to the Tangshui group. The 500-person group quickly agreed, "Okay, Ke Xin, where are you selling Tangshui? We will definitely take care of your business!"
Ke Xin quickly shared her social media account with the group, adding: "I'll remind you guys after I put my business license and store online in the next few days. Thank you, I love you guys, love you guys!"
After sending it, the landlord outside hurried to the door.
Ke Xin stood up to greet him and told the landlord everything about the water leak.
The landlord looked to be about 40 years old, with a beer belly and wearing slippers. He squatted down and contacted the property management while checking the situation.
"How come the house started leaking as soon as you moved in? That's really strange," the landlord couldn't help but mutter.
"I just moved in too. I didn't know there was a sudden water leak!" Ke Xin retorted directly, trying her best to act like someone who was not easy to bully. She finally understood the auntie now and even wanted to be an auntie herself.
The landlord glanced at her and made several phone calls with an expressionless face: "It's too late now. The property management can't come until tomorrow. It's probably because you touched the water pipe somewhere, so it's leaking. Let's wait until the property management comes tomorrow!"
"Tomorrow? Do I have to watch it all night? This..." Ke Xin hesitated for a moment, with embarrassment on her face.
"Well, I have no choice. I won't sleep tonight and will stay here all night to watch you soak. It's not appropriate for a woman with a child to do this, right?"
"No, no, no, okay, let's talk about it tomorrow." Ke Xin waved her hands quickly and had to agree.
The landlord suddenly turned around and said teasingly, "Girl, are you throwing a tantrum at your husband and bringing your child out to rent a house out of spite?"
"A woman like you, with delicate skin, a big butt and a thin waist, who is still so beautiful even after giving birth to a child, is obviously not someone that ordinary people can afford to marry. Why would you bring your daughter to rent in such an old community?"
What he said makes sense. When Ke Xin is not with her children, she is like a young girl. When she walks on the street, she is the kind of person who is often asked for her contact information. But if she walks outside with her children, her figure, temperament, gestures and movements exude an attitude of wealth and nobility. This may be because she is an art student. Whether it is taste or dressing, she always does it just right.
She just didn't expect it to end up like this. Not only others, but even she herself felt torn apart.
Ke Xin laughed dryly twice and imitated Jia Qi's tone and said, "I'm sorry, my husband died and I owe five million yuan, so I have no choice but to rent a shabby house like yours. Thank you!" After that, she slammed the door shut without hesitation.
The landlord let out a "rip" sound, leaned back, and his face suddenly changed: "Tsk tsk tsk, who would dare to hire someone like you? No way, no way", and then he walked away with his hands behind his back and his head turned.
Ke Xin covered her pounding heart and thought to herself: As expected, when you go out, you still have to be a little more cautious. Besides, she is a woman renting a house with a child, which is easy to arouse people's imagination. At this moment, her desire to buy a house began to grow again. When can she have a house of her own? Ke Xin sighed to the sky.
It was another sleepless night when a news item suddenly popped up on Ke Xin's phone: "A girl went from a blind date to marriage, and after only two years, she ended up disfigured and paralyzed."
She has been paying attention to some wife-murder cases recently, so most of the recommendations from big data are various cases of wife abuse and wife-murder, or some divorce bloggers.
So as soon as you watch short videos, all kinds of shocking cases of wife murder come one after another. People are always afraid of unknown things.
Thinking of the harm Weijie had done to him, he felt inexplicably anxious and uneasy.
The next day, after sending her daughter Baobao to kindergarten, she received a call from the property management and rushed back to the rental house.
Yesterday, the landlord brought two property management staff to investigate the situation. One of the staff members in work clothes quickly found the clue: "This is a serious rust on the water pipe. It has not been used for a long time and has aged. It is leaking. Just replace the pipe and it will be fine."
The landlord saw that there was nothing serious and urged: "Okay, change it quickly. This girl had a hard time last night. She was watching all night."
"Oh, that's true. Replacing the water pipe costs a total of 80 yuan," said the staff.
"Okay, okay, I'll pay!" the landlord agreed, sounding unhappy.
"But how do you know I didn't sleep the whole night?" Ke Xin smelled something strange and asked blankly.
"I live next door. You didn't turn off the lights all night, so you guessed it!" The landlord said with a laugh, not taking it seriously.
Ke Xin suppressed the disgust in her heart and said nothing more.
After the property management repaired the water pipe and sent the people out, Ke Xin closed the door and looked at the peephole again and again. She decided to press the video doorbell outside the door. In this way, if she encountered any danger or was peeped, she could call the police.
When the work was almost done, Ke Xin felt sleepy and buried herself in the quilt and fell asleep quickly.
In her dream, she walked into a deserted swamp, surrounded by fog. Ke Xin couldn't find the way home and wandered around helplessly. Suddenly, Weijie's terrifying face appeared in front of her. He was holding a kitchen knife and chopped her face cleanly.
Ke Xin was so scared that she ran around. As she was running away, her mother-in-law suddenly pushed her to the ground and urged Wei Jie: "Kill her quickly, kill her quickly, this woman is a bit difficult to kill. If you don't kill her now, it will be too late!"
Ke Xin struggled helplessly, and the next second, Weijie chopped off her limbs: "I let you escape, and now I've chopped off your limbs, you'll never be able to escape, hahahahahaha."
Ke Xin was covered in blood, her face and hair were wet, and her whole body smelled of blood. Her mother-in-law and Weijie stood by, holding up their victory blades and roaring to the sky.
"If I die, what will happen to Baobao in the future?" Ke Xin murmured softly and died with hatred in her heart.
"No, I can't die, I can't die, Baobao can't live without his mother!"
Ke Xin shook her head and was suddenly awakened by a hurried knock on the door.
Ke Xin gasped for breath and realized that the nightmare she had just had had caused a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
"Fortunately it was a dream." Ke Xin sat at the head of the bed, relaxed for a while, and exhaled.
The knocking on the door continued: "Who is it?"
Ke Xin stood up and put on her slippers, looking at the peephole with a confused look on her face. Why was there suddenly no one outside the door again?
After opening the door, the corridor was suddenly empty again: "Why is this so strange!"
She had just moved in two days ago, and only Jiaqi knew that she lived here, and the person who just knocked on the door.
Ke Xin was certain that the person knocking on the door was not Jiaqi, so who could it be?
Is that possible?
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Her chest suddenly started beating violently, and Ke Xin quickly closed the door.
After sleeping for two hours in the morning, he hurriedly prepared the things for setting up the stall. He went out and set up the stall for another two hours. Then he hurried to the market to purchase and apply for a food business license that met the platform regulations.
After finishing her work, Ke Xin looked at the time and thought, it was time to pick up the kids from school. She was really busy like a top today.
One morning a few days later, the sun was shining on the streets of the city beauties. Jiaqi turned a corner, wearing a slim-fitting sling dress and a simple shawl, and walked into the magnificent lobby in high heels.
Jiaqi was led into the lobby.
At that time, a woman with fashionable clothes and beautiful face, with a graceful temperament, chatted with Jiaqi about family matters for a while, and then went straight to the point.
Linglong clapped her hands, and a dozen young women walked in behind her one after another.
Jiaqi took a quick look and saw some were charming and seductive, some were mature and feminine. Jiaqi's eyes fell on a younger woman with a pure look and a hint of immaturity.
"It's her," Jiaqi and Linglong said.
Linglong stopped, and the other women retreated one by one.
After the three of them sat down on the sofa, Linglong began to introduce them busily.
"Her name is Qinghan. You have good judgment. She is young and was forced to join this industry because she was anxious to find medical treatment for her mother. Unfortunately, she was unlucky and contracted a sexually transmitted disease the first time. Now, not only does she have to help her family with medical expenses, but she also has to bear the burden of her own illness."
Jiaqi had a sophisticated expression on her face. She took a sip of rose tea and her eyes fell on Qinghan. There was a hint of regret in her voice. "Qinghan, you just need to help me date him once, and the five thousand yuan will be yours."
Qinghan stood up and bowed, saying in a flattering manner, "Thank you. I'll leave this to you."
Jiaqi nodded in satisfaction. "I'll give you his phone number and his profile. You can add him on WeChat later."
"Okay, sister, just wait for my good news," Qinghan said with a confident look on his face.
After saying goodbye to each other,
Qinghan added Weijie's WeChat early in the morning and changed her profile picture to a refined one with delicate makeup and a sexy suspender.
At this time, Weijie had just been released from prison and was arguing fiercely with Wan'er, who ignored him.
Just as he was looking at his divorce on the left and his lover on the right, he felt disappointed again, when suddenly a beautiful woman's avatar popped up in the WeChat box.
Weijie clicked on the portrait and exclaimed, "Wow!" He saw that it was a beautiful woman, a pretty one at that, so he passed her without hesitation.
"Hello, handsome guy."
Qinghan greeted first.
"Who are you?"
"You can call me Qinghan. I saw you near your company. I wanted to ask you for your WeChat, but I was too shy. So I walked around the entrance of your company and found your business card, so I added you..."
