Pillow with You in Black Pride

Chapter 40 A penny beats a hero

Carrying the work clothes that were torn last night and walking seven stops, Tang Chen, whose legs were about to soften into mud, limped into the community. He wanted to go to the sewing shop run by Aunt Zhang on the first floor to ask if the uniforms were still available. I couldn't make it up, but as soon as I turned into the gate of the community, I saw the landlady sitting at the elevator entrance from a distance, with the most popular big wavy hair, sitting on a bench eating melon seeds, and she vomited at her feet. Ground melon seed shells.

At this moment, the landlord was nibbling sunflower seeds and glanced at the door impatiently. Tang Chen withdrew his feet and quickly turned around and ran out of the community with the bag in his hand. He didn't care, he limped around to the park behind the community with his waist in hand, bit the bag tightly in his mouth, and climbed up the big tree.

"Xiao Chen, are you back?" The old man who was wearing a vest and standing under the tree practicing Tai Chi was overjoyed when he saw Tang Chen, greeted him with a smile, and continued to practice Tai Chi himself: "Didn't you go to America? Are you back so early?"

With the bag in his mouth, Tang Chen couldn't answer him, so he had no choice but to hold the big tree, turned his head and smiled at the old man, and then kicked his legs to climb up.

"Yo Xiaochen, are you back from the United States?" The aunt with the vegetable basket saw the figure jumping up the tree and waved to him enthusiastically: "My aunt and my daughter-in-law are here to meet the parents today, and I have prepared a big Table dishes, come for dinner tonight!"

"To Xiaochen, you go to her house to have dinner at night. Her little girl has been thinking about you since you left. There will be holes in the windows and doors of your house."

"It's not me bragging. My daughter is young and beautiful. She is a match with Xiaochen. If Xiaochen marries my daughter, it will be his blessing." The aunt glanced at the person who spoke, and immediately looked up happily. Look at my 'future son-in-law', but how can there be his shadow on the tree?

Tang Chen climbed into the balcony on the second floor, looked around but didn't see the landlady coming to arrest him, then took out the key and opened the door, carefully entered the room with the bag in his mouth, closed the door, then touched the sweat on his head and buried himself in it. After sitting on the sofa, I thought I would never get up from lying on my stomach like this for the rest of my life.

'Bang bang bang! '

Just when Tang Chen was about to fall asleep in a daze, there was a loud knock on the door outside, and the palm of his hand was slapped on the dilapidated and rusted iron door, which made his brain ache.

"Tang Chen! My old lady knows you're inside! Open the door for my old lady, you boy!"

Tang Chen shrank, curled himself up into a ball and nestled on the sofa, thinking about the hundreds of dollars he had withdrawn from his bank card yesterday, he didn't even have the courage to answer.

"What did you say before you went to the United States? You paid the rent as soon as you came back. How is it now? Keep the gate open and climb a tree to enter the door. You are dead as an old lady! Come out and pay the money!"

Tang Chen didn't say a word, somehow he remembered the days when he was at home, his eyes turned red, he folded himself into a ball and shrank into the corner of the sofa vigorously.

"You can't afford it or you don't want to pay it! I heard that you came back dressed in glamorous clothes, what's the matter? If you have money to buy such an expensive suit, you can't afford to pay the rent?!"

The people in the house remained silent all the time, which made the landlord who was yelling through the iron gate lose interest, and cursedly gave an ultimatum: "I'll give you three more days, if you still can't pay the rent, I'll kill you." Drive people away!"

Tang Chen still didn't answer, and many tenants came out to watch the show on the same floor, the landlord felt bored, so he had to pat the rust with his hands and prepare to leave.But before the tiptoes had even stepped out of the front door, a small stack of RMB was stuffed out from the crack in the basement door. Before she could bend down to pick up the money in ecstasy, she heard a slight voice of apology from inside: "Auntie , I didn’t not pay the rent on purpose, I’ll pay six hundred first, and I’ll pay the rest in two days.”

After counting the money while slobbering, the landlord grumbled reluctantly: "It's hard for anyone these days, I'll give you three days, after three days don't say anything about going to America or Thailand, you know Is it?"

The people inside were silent for a while, and then responded softly: "No."

"That's fine, I'll come to you in three days!" The landlord accepted it as soon as he saw it, stuffed the money into the pocket of his skirt, and left with a big wave.And as the sound of high-heeled shoes gradually faded away, Tang Chen, who was leaning against the door, lost his strength all of a sudden, and slowly slid down against the door frame...
