In the afternoon, Wen Rui suddenly received a call from the landlord.

"Hello? Are you home now?"

Through the mobile phone, Wen Rui could imagine the other party's distressed appearance, and he frowned: "I'm not at home, what's wrong?"

The landlord was angry and helpless: "I heard the news this afternoon that Mr. Jiang next door had an accident! Let me check the situation... can you come back now?"

Wen Rui was stunned for a moment, then asked Jiang Hao what was wrong in surprise.

"I don't know the specific situation yet. I'm still on the road. Let's not talk about it. I'm driving."

After hanging up the phone over there, Wen Rui stood still, dazed.

The boss passed by and asked casually, "What's wrong with you?"

Only then did Wen Rui come back to his senses, and he hurriedly said, "Boss, can you lend me the electric car?"

The boss was overwhelmed by his sudden action: "What are you doing?"

"Something happened at home, I have to go back immediately."

The boss saw that he didn't look like a fake, so he gave him the car keys.

"Thank you, I will definitely send the car back before today." Wen Rui took the car keys and ran away.

As soon as the proprietress came out of the kitchen, she saw him rushing outside in a hurry, and hurriedly chased after him and called him, "Why are you going?" Seeing that he had ridden his own electric bicycle, she turned her head and glared at the boss: " It will be four o'clock later, who will cook when he runs away?"

The boss was choked by her and went to work in silence.

Wen Rui parked the car downstairs and rushed upstairs. As soon as he climbed to the third floor, he saw the landlord talking to several aunts and uncles.

The landlord saw him coming and quickly greeted him: "Are you back?"

Wen Rui took a breath and asked out of breath, "What's going on?"

"Jiang Hao died, drowned in the bathtub."

As soon as the landlord finished speaking, Wen Rui felt a thunder on the ground, which made his ears buzz.

Wen Rui twitched the corner of his mouth, and the smile on his face was uglier than crying: "You, are you kidding? How could such a big person drown in the bathtub?"

The aunt next to him murmured, "Oh, why is that impossible! We all saw it. The police carried him out, and his body was so soaked that it turned white."

The other person clicked twice to take over the conversation, and she showed an indescribable expression: "Yeah, it's scary, I don't dare to sleep tonight."

"It's none of your business, what are you afraid of?"

Wen Rui glanced at the closed door of Jiang's house, and asked as if wandering, "Where did his child go?"

"Child? It seems that he was taken away by his aunt?"

"It was taken away by his aunt. You said this child is so pitiful. His mother is gone, his father is dead, and his grandparents are gone. After this... hey." Several aunts sighed in unison. Jiang Yueting is pitiful, and he forgot Back then they were still pointing at him behind his back, saying he was a weird kid.

Perhaps it was because Jiang Yueting cried so sadly today that she finally looked like a normal child.

"No, the child was crying so hard that he couldn't speak. I heard from the old granddaughter-in-law upstairs that she heard the child crying just after nine o'clock after shopping for groceries. She was so scared that she hurried down to see what was going on, and then Seeing Dr. Jiang lying naked in the bathtub, she was so frightened that she called the police. The child kept crying until the police came, almost crying to death..."

Wen Rui smiled wryly when he heard the words, Jiang Yueting will cry for Jiang Hao?

He still remembers that the other party asked him calmly, if his father died, would he take care of him?

The landlord arrived a while earlier than Wen Rui, and he asked without knowing the situation: "You still didn't say how such a big living person could drown in the bathtub."

"Don't worry. After the child finished crying, the police asked him. The child said that his father was drunk last night, complained of a headache and couldn't sleep, so he asked him to pour water and take sleeping pills."

Wen Rui murmured, "Sleeping pills?"

Another person hastily said, "Doctor Jiang took sleeping pills, took a bath in the bathtub and fell asleep, then slipped under the water and suffocated?"

The aunt who knew the inside story went on to say: "No. The police said that excessive drinking should not take too many sleeping pills. It is easy to be dangerous. If you can't breathe, you will go into shock. If it is serious, you can eat the dead."

"Why is it so scary? I don't even know about it! I have to call my son and tell him when I go back later."

"We don't know, who has that thing? Don't you just fall asleep when you sleep, what kind of sleeping pills do you take?"

The landlord interjected, "But isn't Dr. Jiang a doctor? He must know that you can't mix it up."

"It's all said to be drunk, so you know what you did when you were drunk? You don't have to eat if you have a headache and can't sleep."

The landlord was left speechless by what she said.

"Hey, you said that Dr. Jiang is such a nice person, why is he so kind but not rewarded?"

"Who knows? God don't open your eyes. Dr. Jiang is such a good man. The police found photos all over the house in his house. They were all taken by Dr. Jiang's wife. His wife is a photographer and later took his photos for photography." The money ran away, and Dr. Jiang even posted her photos to miss her. If you want to marry a daughter-in-law, don’t want the kind of artist, you are too wild.”

"Who did you hear that from?"

"It's just the child's aunt. The only relative the child knows is his aunt. The police contacted him and informed him to come over to take care of the funeral. His aunt panicked when he mentioned this."

The landlord listened to what they said, and saw that the topic had gone far away, so he didn't intend to listen any more. He looked at Wen Rui, who was distraught, and felt a little embarrassed.

He said embarrassingly: "I came here in a hurry just to persuade you, don't feel unlucky, we can't predict this, and the accident happened in the room next door, not mine, so you don't need to be afraid. "

Someone looked at Wen Rui and said, "You live next door? Then do you still dare to live here?"

The landlord was anxious at the time, "Why don't you dare to live?"

Wen Rui regained his composure, he took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice, "Go ahead and sit for a while."

He opened the door and led the landlord into the house. He went into the kitchen and poured him a cup of hot water.

The landlord wiped the sweat from his forehead with a paper towel, and said helplessly, "I know, you all think this kind of house is unlucky." Although the dead person next door is separated by a wall, even he himself does not want to live in it. This kind of house, "but the contract we signed is for one year, and you can't cancel the lease in advance."

Wen Rui curled the corner of her lower lip, and said dryly, "Don't worry, I won't call out the rent."

The landlord was a little surprised: "You won't return the rent?"

"Ah."

The landlord let out a sigh of relief. He looked around the house and complained to himself: "There are not many people who understand like you. My house is a mess. It was cheap enough to cost more than 2000 yuan a year. The stalls This matter... by then, no one will be willing to rent it for [-]."

Wen Rui was embarrassed to let him talk to himself, so he replied casually, "Probably not."

"Why not? Everyone pays attention to the word auspicious. Besides, the renters here are all mothers and children. Knowing that someone died next door, they will definitely think wildly. But..." The landlord immediately fell silent, and only then did he remember to put Keep your mouth shut.

He had just said that everyone was as happy as Wen Rui, and it would be much more convenient to sign a contract with him after seeing the house, and he would deliberately hide it from others and they wouldn't know.When they find out, the contract has been signed and they can't refund it.

The landlord shook his head helplessly when he heard those people's discussions outside the door: "Most people who rent a house like to ask about the situation of this house, and these old men and women will definitely talk too much."

Wen Rui frowned slightly, and just asked, "Then what about your house?"

"Let's take a step and take a look. There will always be those who dare to come and live, but they will definitely take the opportunity to lower the price. If I can really want to buy this crappy house."

Wen Rui asked in surprise: "Have you considered selling this house?"

"Of course," the landlord curled his lips, and after thinking for a while, he said, "But just think about it, no one will buy this dilapidated house? It must be good for you renting houses, but you want to buy it ~Whoever has money will not waste it here."

"I really want to buy it." This is an old city, and it will definitely be planned in the future. Houses like this will be demolished at that time, and the demolition fee alone can get a lot of money.

The landlord looked him up and down: "You just look at it, why do you think about buying a house here?"

"To be honest, I plan to settle down here. I prefer stability and don't like to move all the time. I can't afford a good house, so I can only look at second-hand houses. This house is a bit old, but I'm quite used to living in it. Yes, and it should be nice to renovate this place when the time comes.”

The landlord hesitated before saying: "My house is broken, but it will cost [-] to [-] yuan if I sell it." He wanted to ask if the other party had money?But I was afraid of hurting the other party's self-esteem.

Wen Rui saw what he was thinking, and said: "I definitely can't afford that much money now, but my current job is fairly stable, and I can earn more than 1 yuan a month. It's enough to save for a year or two." .”

The landlord's eyes widened: "What kind of work do you earn more than 1 yuan?" Where did this young man come from with such great skills!

Wen Rui said vaguely: "I have worked two jobs, and the salary is not bad."

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, the landlord didn't follow up and asked, so he thought about it carefully.

Seeing this, Wen Rui didn't rush him, but said: "Think about it carefully, and you can contact me when you figure it out."

"That's fine, I'll think about it when I go home." The landlord is going home to discuss this matter with his family. He only earns more than 1000 yuan from renting this house for a year, and it can sell for [-] to [-] yuan... This temptation is quite big.

But he can't just believe what this person says. His brother and this person have a good relationship. When the time comes, ask his brother what kind of job this person is doing, so don't let his house be trapped by then.

Wen Rui sent the landlord away, and the people who were talking at the door also dispersed and went home to make dinner.

He only felt physically and mentally exhausted, Jiang Hao died suddenly, and Jiang Yueting was still crying for him?He really didn't believe the words.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"What do you think! Then Jiang Hao doesn't need money for cremation and burial? You don't know how to ask my opinion after such a big incident? You can take the child home, but you can't just take the child? Passbook The real estate certificate does not take anything."

"Can't you pay attention to what you say? The child is here, can you stop saying that to recruit him?"

"It's okay, you see, the child doesn't feel sad at all."

"He was scared..."

Just as Wen Rui was about to go back to the house, he heard the sound of conversation coming up the corridor...
