It wasn't until the moving started that the aunt next door realized that the piece of glass was a little too big, as long as an adult male's arm span.
The width is not small either, about half a meter.
Looking at the slightly steep stairs, the aunt next door thought for a while and suggested.
"Do you want me to help?"
"Need not."
Li Jie smiled and shook his head, "You still need help with such a big thing?"
"Then be careful, or you may cut your hand."
"Okay."
After a while, the glass was moved to the balcony of the neighbor's house.
"Xiao Zhan, come on, come over and have a rest and drink some water."
At this time, the aunt next door came out of the kitchen with a cup of tea.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen you for a long time since you moved away. Are you coming here today?"
When meeting people who are not familiar with each other, they always want to find some topics to talk about. Otherwise, silence will be very embarrassing.
"Thanks."
Li Jie took the cup and said frankly: "I'm here to collect rent today. The tenant in 302 downstairs already owes one year's rent."
"One year?"
Hearing these words, the aunt next door was very surprised.
This... this is simply unheard of!
Although their community is an old community, it is not small in area, and the surrounding infrastructure and transportation are also very convenient.
Therefore, the rent in the community is not low.
Taking their building as an example, the apartments in their building all have four bedrooms and three living rooms. If there are many people in the family, one of the living rooms can be converted into a bedroom.
Generally speaking, the monthly rent for a house with this type of apartment, even if it is rough, is seven to eight thousand. If it is renovated, ten thousand is just the starting point.
They are all neighbors upstairs and downstairs. The aunt next door knew about the decoration situation in 302. She even went to see it when it was being renovated.
Although the decoration of 302 is not luxurious, it is not too bad and is much better than ordinary rental houses.
The monthly rent for that house was at least 13,400 yuan. After a year of delay, the debt was already over 100,000 yuan.
"yes."
Li Jie nodded and said in a helpless tone: "It has been a year indeed. Every time I called him, he would cry out to me about how difficult it was to have three children and the business in the store was not good.
"
In the original drama, not only did the tenants downstairs refuse to pay rent, but after "Zhanxiang" came to the door, they started to make trouble with the surrounding neighbors, and a bad guy came to complain first.
In order to prevent such a thing, Li Jie planned to let the news out first.
The aunt next door has been retired for many years and usually has nothing to do except pick up her grandson from school.
If the tenants downstairs still dare to confuse right and wrong, the aunt next door will probably stand up and say something.
"Is there such a thing?"
The aunt next door said in a surprised tone: "Xiao Guo and his wife usually look pretty good, how could they do such a thing?"
Li Jie smiled and said nothing. What could be the reason for this couple?
It's just because he has a good temper and is easy to bully.
However, the past was the past and the present is the present.
After taking a few sips of tea, Li Jie put down the cup and said goodbye.
"Auntie, I'm going down to collect the rent first. We'll talk later when we have time."
"Well."
The aunt next door also followed and walked out. She was helpful and it is always appropriate to give something away.
"I'm really troubling you today."
"It's okay, let's go."
Li Jie waved his hand, then turned and walked downstairs.
Arriving at the door of Room 302, Li Jie walked up and knocked on the door.
Boom!
Boom!
"Who?"
Not long after, a female voice came from inside, followed immediately by the sound of rustling footsteps approaching from far away.
As soon as the door opened, the woman was stunned for a moment, then her face changed instantly and she put on an eager smile.
"It's the landlord, please come in quickly."
As she said this, she turned around and shouted into the house.
"Guo Qiang, the landlord is here. Come over and entertain us."
Hearing these words, Guo Qiang, who was teasing the child, suddenly felt a thump in his heart.
When the landlord comes to visit, he knows why without asking.
It must be about the rent!
The rent has been delayed for a year, which makes him feel embarrassed when he thinks about it. In the beginning, he actually didn't want to default on the rent.
At that time, something happened to his family, and the funds were temporarily unable to be transferred, so he tried to ask the landlord if he could take a break for a while.
In the end, who would have thought that the landlord agreed without saying a word.
Then, it dragged on for half a year.
When the capital turnover started, he was going to pay back the rent, but his wife gave him an idea.
The rent has been late for half a year, and the landlord has done nothing except occasionally asking if the funds have been released.
It's rare to encounter such a "taken advantage of", why don't you owe me a little more time?
It happened that his wife was about to give birth to her third child at that time. It was very expensive to have children these days. Guo Qiang thought about it and felt that his wife was right.
As a result, the rent was delayed for longer and longer.
As time passed, Guo Qiang also discovered that their landlord was extremely easy to talk to, or easy to deceive.
As long as you cry more and more, the other party will probably stop urging you.
While thinking, Guo Qiang had already arrived in front of Li Jie and saw him greeting him warmly.
"Brother Zhan, you are here, sit down quickly."
As he said this, he did not forget to remind his wife to move quickly.
"Honey, hurry up and make some tea."
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll go right away."
The woman nodded repeatedly and ran into the restaurant in a hurry.
"Boss Xiao Guo, is it time for you to pay the rent?"
As soon as he sat down, Li Jie went straight to the topic without exchanging pleasantries.
"Let's do the math. The rent has been late for a year. One month's rent is 12,800, which is 153,600 for 12 months."
While talking, Li Jie took out his mobile phone and put it on the coffee table.
“WeChat or Alipay?”
One hundred and fifty-three thousand six?
Hearing this number, Guo Qiang was suddenly shocked.
Unknowingly, I owe so much?
The monthly rent is indeed 12,800, but it used to be paid quarterly, never annually.
In addition, he didn't calculate it carefully, so when he heard that it was more than 150,000, he was immediately shocked.
After being stunned for a moment, Guo Qiang suddenly woke up.
drag!
Keep dragging!
Just like before, if you suffer miserably and cry about poverty, it will probably be over.
Then, a wry smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Brother landlord, do you think you can slow down?"
"You see, my family has just added Sanbao, and money is really tight at this time."
As he talked, Guo Qiang gradually fell into the drama, and his expression became increasingly miserable.
"Also, the business of my small shop is no longer what it used to be. In the past, I could still make a profit every month."
"Now, if you don't lose money every month, it's considered good."
On the side, Guo Qiang's wife also joined in and said, "Yes, landlord brother, you have a lot, can you be accommodating and allow us to slow down?"
"Don't worry, we will pay you back as soon as the turnover opens."
