"This reason has been used for two months. Is there anything new?"
Li Jie smiled slightly. The smile at the corner of his mouth looked very warm at first glance, but in the eyes of Guo Qiang and his wife, this smile was like a biting cold wind, cutting their faces in pain.
However, when you think about the fact that one payment is hundreds of thousands of dollars, the cold wind is nothing, real money is more valuable.
"Brother landlord, isn't this really difficult?"
Guo Qiang looked sad and flattered: "You are the big boss, so you should be kind and understand us."
As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Qiang's wife immediately echoed.
"Yes, yes, landlord brother, please show your respect and give us some time."
Seeing the two of them singing along and refusing to pay the rent, Li Jie was too lazy to continue to pester them. He took out a piece of paper from his arms, spread it out and said.
"I'm not here to rush you today, but I'm here to deliver a lawyer's letter to you."
"Don't tell me about the rent arrears. You should think carefully about how to tell the judge."
For such old scoundrels, words are useless. Only by putting them into law can we completely stop them.
Guo Qiang looked down and saw the words "lawyer's letter" written carelessly on the top of the document, and he immediately panicked.
Go to court?
Isn't it necessary?
Although he relies on ‘Brother Zhan’ to pay rent, at other times, he is an honest person who keeps to himself.
Like the store's rent, he has never been in arrears.
Even during the most difficult period, he never defaulted on arrears, and even when he borrowed money, he had to pay the rent.
There was no way, who made it difficult for the landlord to talk to him? As soon as he mentioned the extension, he immediately asked him to move out.
Move out?
That was absolutely impossible. That small shop was a business that allowed the whole family to make a living. He would never move there until they were at the end of their rope.
After putting down the lawyer's letter, Li Jie stood up and prepared to leave.
"Brother Zhan, you...you...you..."
However, Guo Qiang rushed forward and blocked his way.
At this moment, he was very excited, his face was red and he was waving his hands.
"You...you can't do this!"
"You can't... do this."
Li Jie glanced at him indifferently and moved a few steps to the side, preparing to leave.
Boom!
As a result, Guo Qiang's wife flopped on the ground and hugged his calf tightly, refusing to let him go.
"Brother landlord, you can't do this!"
"How can our family live with you like this?"
"How do you and your family survive?"
Li Jie chuckled and pointed to the milk powder can on the dining table.
"What is that?"
"Do you think I don't have children and don't know the price?"
A2 milk powder is considered a better brand among milk powders. The national version costs more than 400 per can. It is completely normal for a newborn child to eat four cans a month.
The milk powder alone costs nearly 2,000 a month.
Even if you go through purchasing agents, a can of milk powder costs about 300, which adds up to more than 1,000.
If Guo Qiang and his wife are really short of money, how can they buy milk powder that costs 3-400 per can?
It’s not like there are cheap ones.
Guo Qiang looked stunned when he heard this and didn't know what to say for a moment.
It was indeed a bit difficult for him to come up with more than 150,000 yuan on the spot, but he could still get it together.
On the contrary, Guo's wife on the side reacted quickly and replied immediately.
"Brother landlord, how dare we save food for our children?"
"Even if we adults don't eat or drink, we still have to give our children good food and good use. We can't let our children lose at the starting line."
"Please take pity on us and grant us a few more days of grace!"
Looking at the naughty woman, Li Jie frowned slightly and snorted coldly.
"Let go!"
As soon as these words came out, the woman immediately shuddered and subconsciously let go of her hand.
After a moment, she came back to her senses and saw that Li Jie had walked to the door and opened the door, and she immediately became anxious.
In desperation, she suddenly had an idea.
"oops!"
"Hitting someone!"
"Hitting someone!"
She screamed with all her strength, and the scream was extremely violent.
If an uninformed person heard this cry, they would probably think that she was beaten badly.
This building is an old building, and the sound insulation effect is not very good. Some couples have to lower their voices when having meetings at night to avoid being overheard.
Guo Qiang's wife's voice was already loud, and as the door opened, her screams immediately spread upstairs and downstairs.
Click.
The first person to open the door was 301 next door. An old man wearing glasses came out and looked inside 302.
"What's wrong with this?"
Seeing Uncle Wang appear, Guo Qiang's wife seemed to have found reinforcements and cried louder.
"Uncle Wang, look, the landlord is beating someone! He's beating someone!"
At this time, footsteps were heard in the corridors upstairs and downstairs, and soon the door of 302 was filled with neighbors upstairs and downstairs.
"Why is this?"
The aunt next door came late and saw the neighbors gathering together, so she couldn't help but ask.
"Shufen is here."
An energetic old man wearing a floral shirt greeted him with a smile and then explained.
"The thing is like this, Xiao Zhan came over to collect the rent, and Xiao Guo and his wife had some difficulties. Xiao Zhan didn't receive it, and then Xiao Zhan seemed to beat Xiao Guo's wife."
Did ‘Xiao Zhan’ hit someone?
If it had been before, the aunt next door would probably have believed it, but after experiencing the previous incident, she felt that 'Xiao Zhan' was not that kind of person.
A person who thinks of safety issues whenever he sees clutter placed in the corridor is obviously a warm-hearted person!
How could such a person hit someone?
Thinking of this, the aunt next door immediately became suspicious.
"No way?"
"Xiao Zhan should not be that kind of person."
The old man in the flowered shirt chuckled: "You came late. I don't know how hard Xiao Guo's wife cried just now. I think this is probably true."
"I don't believe it."
The aunt next door retorted: "Don't you know who Xiao Zhan is? He is a big boss, how can he do anything for rent money?"
On the other side, seeing that the people were almost here, Li Jie finally stopped being silent and directly took out the evidence.
"Dear uncles and aunties, just now Xiao Guo's wife said that I hit her, but I never made an excuse. It's not because I really did it."
"But wait until everyone is gathered, and everyone can bear witness together."
"Whether I hit her or not, I believe everyone will know after watching this video."
With that said, Li Jie took out his mobile phone and opened an APP, and a surveillance video appeared on the screen.
Naturally, Li Jie would not be unprepared for such a bad guy. The camera he carried was just to eliminate hidden dangers.
When Guo Qiang and his wife saw the picture on the mobile phone screen, they were both stunned.
It’s over!
Now no one believes anything they say!
From now on, their reputation in the community will probably be bad.
