Chapter 59: The Last Month

Because I wanted to move out of Mu Xichun's house as soon as possible, I searched for a house online whenever I had free time these days, but I couldn't find one that suited me.

With my current economic conditions, houses in the city are basically out of my reach, and those cheap ones are too far away from the company, which is undoubtedly another distressing thing for me.

That night, I was sitting bored on the sofa watching an even more boring TV show. Several popular young celebrities were playing various brainless games on the stage, which made the audience burst into laughter.

I really don’t understand what’s the point of laughter, and what’s the variety aspect of a TV show like this, yet this kind of show is so popular.

This can't help but make me a little confused as to what makes me so out of tune with this world.

At this time, the doorbell suddenly rang, and I felt nervous. I subconsciously thought of Lin Wei who came without warning last time, and wondered if it was Lin Wei who came again. Could it be that the scene she played with Mu Xichun last time was ruined by her again?

See through it?

I turned down the TV volume, slipped to the door barefoot, and looked out through the peephole, thinking that if it was Lin Wei, I would pretend that I wasn't at home.

But when I looked through the peephole, I was a little surprised. The person coming was not Lin Wei, but Mu Xichun.

I opened the door and gave her a cold look. Due to the previous unpleasantness, I had never taken the initiative to talk to her in the past few days except when necessary for work.

Seeing my expression, she ignored me, just showed a contemptuous smile at the corner of her mouth, and stepped into the room.

"Why are you here? What's the matter?" I asked calmly.

"It's okay! I just came to check out my house. What? You haven't found a new place to live yet?"

"I will move out when I find a house. Don't worry, as long as I live here for one day, I will pay one day's rent. Before I move out, I still have the right to use the house, and you have no right to come in or out at will."

"Really? Why don't I remember signing a rental contract for you? In theory, the house is still mine, I just let you live in it. And I have no intention of driving you away. You can stay as long as you like, anyway.

It doesn’t matter who I rent to.”

"Then what are you doing here?" I asked.

Mu Xichun stared at me with a meaningful look and said: "In the afternoon I went to inspect the progress of the Lakeside Park project and met the little boy selling flowers. His name was... by the way, Stone!"

I was shocked and wondered if she might already know what I did to the stone and her mother.

"So what? What does it have to do with me?" I asked tentatively.

"Shitou also took me to his mother's flower shop. In fact, I just came back from there!" Mu Xichun looked at me without blinking after finishing speaking, as if he was deliberately observing my expression and not wanting to miss any details.

"Oh! What does this have to do with me!" I pretended to be calm.

"What do you think?"

"Say...what did you say?"

"Ha! You planned this incident yourself, and you said it had nothing to do with you?" She looked at me and smiled jokingly.

In fact, when it comes to me, things are already obvious. She obviously already knows everything.

As for what happened, it was later learned that it was probably like this: Mu Xichun met Shi Shi who was delivering flowers. Out of curiosity, Mu Xichun asked about Shi Shi, and Shi Shi told him that he knew about me helping his mother.

Mu Xichun was informed of the situation.

So driven by curiosity, under the leadership of Shitou

Came to the flower shop.

When Shitou's mother heard Shitou's introduction and learned that Mu Xichun was the boss of our company, she was kind-hearted and saw that the company leader who helped her overcome the difficulties came, and a thank you was definitely indispensable.

Mu Xichun naturally wanted to find out, so everything I did back then was known to Mu Xichun. But she didn't point out my lies at the time. As for the reason, I only found out about it a long time later.

I thought that since Mu Xichun already understood everything, there was no point in pretending to be stupid anymore, so I simply admitted the matter.

"I did it, so what? Do you want to laugh at me for being stupid? Just laugh if you want!"

"It has nothing to do with me that you want to do stupid things, but why do you say this is the company's behavior? Do you know what kind of impact your behavior will have on the company if other demolition households know about it?"

I was stunned. At that time, I only thought about helping the poor mother and son. I had never thought about this issue.

After Mu Xichun said this, I thought this was really a serious issue. If other demolished households in the same batch knew about this, there would definitely be some trouble.

But now the matter is irreversible. Fortunately, this incident has not caused any consequences.

I thought to myself, if Mu Xichun wants to punish or scold me, just let her go. Anyway, I am barefoot now and am not afraid of wearing shoes, so I don't care if she does anything excessive to me again.

"Isn't there nothing wrong? Who will know if they don't tell me." I said with the rogue principle of arguing even if there is no reason.

"Oh, you have such an attitude of misunderstanding?" Mu Xichun asked back.

"Then what do you want? Anyway, I have already done the thing. If you want to punish me, I will accept it." I used another skill of mine, dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water.

"Penalty? Mr. Wei, what else do you have that I can punish? Do you have any value that I can punish?"

"Since there's nothing to punish, forget it. Anyway, this incident didn't cause any consequences. To put it another way, I helped the company, more specifically, I helped you accumulate some virtue. You should thank me."

Mu Xichun was obviously angry at my words, but for a moment he couldn't find anything to say to refute, so he stood up from the sofa and glared at me.

After a long while, he said: "A scoundrel like you never disappoints me. I hope you move out of my house as soon as possible. A scoundrel like you is not worthy of living in my house!" After saying that, I picked up my bag and left angrily without waiting for me to say anything else.

.

Seeing her furious look, I almost didn't laugh. I felt that I probably won this round.

It's just the fact that she told me to move out of here as soon as possible that bothers me a little.

With my current situation, there is no way I can rent a house again outside. I really agree with the saying that money is not everything, but having no money is absolutely impossible.

Perhaps only Jack Ma and his ilk can say that money is like dirt, because they don't know the trouble of not having money at all.

But thinking about how furious she was just now, it was obvious that she was at the end of her rope with me.

Thinking of this, I suddenly understood. Since she has nothing to do with me, I will continue to cheat on her. I really won't move this house. Let's see what she can do, unless she really goes to the police to accuse me of illegal acts.

Possession is guilty.

I thought she would urge me to move out of her house as soon as possible after this incident, but I didn't expect that she never mentioned it again since she said it once that night.

This abnormal behavior made me wonder, could it be that...she has figured out some new tricks to catch me by surprise?

Just when I was on full alert and ready to take action, she really caught me by surprise.

When my salary was paid at the end of the month, I still only received a subsistence allowance as usual, and I was already used to this.

When I was about to get off work, Mu Xichun called me and called me to her office. I thought she was going to warn me and ask me to move out as soon as possible, but I didn't expect that I guessed wrong again this time.

Mu Xichun took out three stacks of hundred-yuan bills from the drawer and placed them in front of me.

"What do you mean?" I asked her when I saw that she didn't mean to explain.

"Didn't you say last time that you helped Shitou's mother open a flower shop to help me accumulate virtue? I think since I want to accumulate virtue, I should accumulate it myself. I will return the 30,000 yuan to you. Since you are doing it under the banner of the company

If you have done this, then let this matter be settled, the company will not take advantage of you!"

After Mu Xichun finished speaking, she looked at me with a smile, but I couldn't figure out what her smile meant.

I couldn't help but be a little confused and didn't understand which drama she was acting in, but when I saw the 30,000 yuan in front of me, I couldn't help but feel my throat go dry. I know that people only feel this way after they have been truly poor.

"You...are you serious?" I was a little in disbelief.

"Yes!" Mu Xichun nodded.

I stretched out my hand to get the money on the table, but found that my hand was trembling slightly, so I quickly retracted it. Fortunately, Mu Xichun did not notice this detail, otherwise this person would have been in great trouble.

Then I thought about how much debt I still owe to Mu Xichun. The most important thing right now is to settle this matter first.

I made a rough calculation in my mind. If I repay the thirty thousand yuan, my debt to Mu Xichun will be very little. I only need to work for one more month to completely pay it off.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little excited. The difficult days seemed to be over soon.

"If you really want to return this money to me, then treat it as my debt and take it back!" I said with determination. Although it is really frustrating to have money in front of you and not take it, sometimes people have to

Be tough on yourself.

Mu Xichun looked up at me, as if observing my expression again, and said after a moment: "Well, since you insist on it yourself, of course I have no objection. After adding the 30,000 yuan, the debt you owe me is only 3,000 yuan."

Once you pay off the debt, you will be free. Congratulations in advance on regaining your freedom."

Mu Xichun said and put the money back into the drawer.

"How about regaining your freedom? You really think you are a madam!" Her words made me feel a little awkward and I muttered in a low voice.

"What did you say?"

"Can I stay in your house for another month?" I was surprised and saw that she seemed to be in a good mood, so I hurriedly changed my words.

"I've said it before, you can live here if you like, and it doesn't matter who you rent it to."

"Then why did you ask me to move out as soon as possible last time?" I asked.

Mu Xichun thought for a while and said, "That's because you are acting rogue. If you are unreasonable in front of me again in the future, I still reserve the right to drive you away at any time."
