“You provoked those people to smash my house yesterday. I haven’t even asked you for compensation for the damages, but you actually dare to ask me for rent cancellation fees.”
“All the damages are my things, and when I moved into the store, all the things inside were already moved away by you, Big Brother.” Lin Juan tried to reason with the owner.
But the owner was determined not to refund the money at that time, so how could he listen to Lin Juan’s reason?
“The house belongs to me, so of course, I have the final say! I think 10 yuan is enough for the damages. After deducting the rent, you still have to pay me 5 yuan!”
“You, why are you so unreasonable!” Lin Juan was also a little angry.
The owner sneered, stood up, and kicked over a stool at his feet, squinting his eyes, and he said, “My words are the truth!”
Lin Juan became frightened when she saw the owner’s fierce look.
She stood up and slowly retreated to the gate, saying, “I don’t want the rent refund, okay?”
Noticing that the owner didn’t seem to chase her, Lin Juan bit her lip, stomped her feet, and ran away.
The owner looked at Lin Juan who was fleeing in panic, snorted, and said, “You still want to fight with me!”
But when he thought that Lin Juan had quit the lease, there would be no fat sheep for him to slaughter, so the owner felt sad again.
The owner’s wife also felt sad about the 5 yuan per month. She scolded her husband and said, “It’s all your fault. You insisted on renting the house to this Lin Juan. Now, all our future money will be wasted!”
“How could I have thought of this? Who told her to pay a higher price before!” The owner also regretted it.
If he had rented the house to Li Dashu and his wife, he could have earned 3 yuan a month at least!
The owner was so heartbroken that he couldn’t sleep all night. He went to find Li Dashu and his wife early the next morning.
It was still dark at this time. Li Dashu and his wife were preparing to go to the steamed bun shop to work.
After walking for a while, they saw the owner of the previous house walking toward them.
When the owner saw Li Dashu and his wife, he changed his previous fierce look and said with a smile on his face: “Brother Dashu, Sister-in-law, are you going to the steamed bun shop?”
“Yes.” Li Dashu and his wife responded, “What can I do for you?”
“Yes, yes. Didn’t you two want to rent my house before? Now I can rent it to you.” The owner said with a smile.
“Didn’t you rent your house to someone else?” Yang Xiaomei couldn’t help but say, “We can’t rent it.”
The owner felt hopeful when he heard it and immediately said: “That Lin Juan got into trouble and ran away. I rented it to her for 5 yuan a month. If you rent it, how about I give you 3 yuan?”
“This is really unfortunate. We have rented our current store for a year!” Yang Xiaomei said with her chin raised.
“Well, if you need anything, you can consider my house.” The owner said regretfully.
After saying goodbye to the owner, Li Dashu and Yang Xiaomei continued to move forward.
Thinking of the owner’s appearance just now, Yang Xiaomei couldn’t help but burst out laughing: “This is really refreshing. I still remember how he beat us when we went to find him before. And that Lin Juan, is this considered evil retribution?”
“So, people should be kinder.” Li Dashu also said.
***
After Lin Juan closed the bun shop, she hid at home for several days. She only felt relieved when she was sure that no one outside was causing trouble for her.
