Robin Hood had just opened the shop when he heard a cough from behind him. He turned around and saw the landlord Liu standing behind him with a sad face: "Boss Luo, good morning!"
Robin Hood was very surprised by Shopkeeper Liu's sudden visit. Shopkeeper Liu was rarely seen a few times throughout the year. Why did he come to the shop so early today? Is he here to collect rent? No, there is still time before the rent is paid.
Almost half a year!
Robin Hood had a smile on his face: "Hey! It turns out to be Shopkeeper Liu! He comes to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason. Shopkeeper Liu is here today and I don't know why he is here? He shouldn't be here to eat my ramen, right?"
Shopkeeper Liu rubbed his hands and said with a flattering smile: "Boss Luo is a smart man and a cheerful man. Well, to tell you the truth, I do have something to ask you today!"
Robin Hood opened the rolling shutter door loudly and handed shopkeeper Liu a cigarette: "But it doesn't matter!"
Shopkeeper Liu took the cigarette, lit it, exhaled the smoke skillfully, and then said slowly: "Boss Luo, you have been working here for three years, right? How is the business?"
Robin Hood didn't know what kind of medicine Shopkeeper Liu was selling in his gourd, but he still replied: "The business is so-so, not bad, and life is basically not a worry!"
"That's good!" Shopkeeper Liu nodded and took a long puff of cigarette. The two fierce policemen appeared in front of his eyes again. It was because of the two uninvited guests who broke into the house that he couldn't sleep all night.
Be safe.
Robin Hood looked at Shopkeeper Liu who was hesitant to speak, and couldn't help but ask: "Does Shopkeeper Liu have something to hide?"
Shopkeeper Liu sighed heavily and said with a sad face: "To tell you the truth, my old lady in the country got seriously ill a few days ago, and I am the only one in the family. As the saying goes, filial piety comes first, and I Liu
The shopkeeper is also a filial son. When my mother is seriously ill, of course I have to take full responsibility. But my illness requires a lot of medical expenses. I am usually a flashy person and have no cash savings. But the old man’s
She can't delay her illness. She worked hard to raise me, and I will cure her illness even if I sell it. So, I am thinking of selling two shops to raise some medical expenses for my mother. This is not the case today.
I just found you!"
Robin Hood finally understood the meaning. Shopkeeper Liu talked for a long time, just wanting to take back the shop.
Robin Hood's face darkened: "Shopkeeper Liu, I understand what you mean, and I fully understand your mood. But we are all businessmen, and businessmen pay attention to integrity. My rent for this year is not due yet.
It seems a bit unreasonable for you to drive me away now, right? And the rent contract is clearly written in black and white, so this has legal effect!"
Shopkeeper Liu curled his lips: "I know all this, isn't there nothing I can do about it?"
Robin Hood said: "You have a total of eighteen shops on this street, why do you want to take back my shop? Do you think I am an outsider, so I am easy to bully?"
"Hehe!" Shopkeeper Liu said with a dry smile: "Boss Luo, look at what you said, other stores still have a long rent period, but your rent period is the shortest, with less than half a year left, so I came to you.
!”
Robin Hood looked at Shopkeeper Liu with some disgust, crossed his arms and said coldly: "Shopkeeper Liu, this is a breach of contract. What if I don't leave?"
Shopkeeper Liu gritted his teeth, took out a bulging envelope from his pocket, and stuffed it into Robin Hood's hand: "I will also waive the remaining half year's rent for you. There is a total of 20,000 yuan here, which will be used as payment to you.
Compensation! Regardless of whether you agree or not, I will take back this shop within three days! Goodbye!"
Twenty thousand yuan is simply a drop in the bucket for a landlord like Shopkeeper Liu. He doesn't care about the twenty thousand yuan. If he can spend twenty thousand yuan to deal with those two dead policemen, he thinks it is worth it.
Looking at Shopkeeper Liu's leaving figure, Robin Hood squeezed the envelope hard, and a ball of flame burst out in his pupils. After a while, the flame in his eyes slowly extinguished, and Robin Hood returned to his normal state. He put the envelope into his pocket.
Inside, I reluctantly took a look into the store, and then pulled the rolling shutter door down heavily.
Damn it, he was kicked out by Shopkeeper Liu!
If he had had his previous temper, he would have given Shopkeeper Liu a lot of slaps.
But now, he is just an ordinary citizen. In this country, ordinary people are bullied and can only choose to endure it silently.
Robin Hood is not a fool. He knows that what Shopkeeper Liu said about "my mother is sick" is nothing more than an excuse. Although he knows that Shopkeeper Liu is lying, what can he do? Shopkeeper Liu is a charterer, and as the saying goes, people are under the roof.
I have to bow my head!
Walking on the cold and cold streets, Robin Hood suddenly felt a sense of loneliness. It seemed that the world was so big that there was no place for him. He couldn't help asking himself: "Do I want to stay in this city anymore?"
?It’s been three years, should I start a new life? Have I really forgotten the past? Have I really cut off all worries about the past?”
Robin Hood wandered aimlessly in this bustling metropolis, riding the bus back and forth through different streets, looking at the different scenery outside the window, his heart as silent as a pool of stagnant water.
It wasn't until the lanterns first came on that Robin Hood dragged his exhausted body back to Tingyu Alley.
Just as he reached the alley, a black Wrangler slowly stopped beside him. The window rolled down, revealing the faces of Fang Xiang and Zheng Guorong: "Where are you going?"
Robin Hood glanced at them and said calmly: "Go home!"
Zheng Guorong said: "Just now we went to the noodle shop to find you and found a closing notice posted on the door of your noodle shop. What happened?"
Robin Hood said nothing and walked forward on his own.
The Wrangler followed Robin Hood closely, and Fang Xiang said: "Hey! You haven't had dinner yet, why don't we go eat boiled mutton together?"
Robin Hood stopped: "Are you treating me to a treat?"
Fang Xiang grinned: "No problem!"
"Okay!" With that said, Robin Hood opened the door and jumped into the back seat.
