It was sunny in the morning, but the sun was still scorching in March. However, it started to rain lightly in the afternoon, and the temperature dropped sharply.
Xu Du was wearing black business attire, and the small umbrella did not block the wind. The slanting rain wetted the corners of the stockings and hip-covering skirt. Not to mention they were sticky, and the wind made it even colder.
She stood downstairs, closed her umbrella, shook some water, put it in a plastic bag and put it in her bag. She looked up at the stairs and walked up in high heels.
In recent years, Nan City has been under construction, and many buildings have been demolished. It is said that people here can get rich overnight just waiting for demolition, but there are always people who can't bear the wait and want to cash out in advance. Mr. Chen is one of them.
As an employee of the Good Landlord Rental and Sales Center, Xu Du agreed on a time after receiving a call from Mr. Chen. However, it was difficult to miss the time during the off-duty rush hour, so he arrived here in the evening.
The stairs are old and dimly lit, but they are kept clean.
The house was on the fourth floor, and Xu Duren was still on the second floor when he heard a crashing sound and the voice-activated light came on all the way to the top floor.
She quickened her pace and slowed down again when she reached the fourth floor.
"The house can't be sold, and you can't get a penny from me."
The woman's voice is sonorous and powerful.
Xu Du glanced at the corridor. A man with gray hair looked at the door with his shoulders hunched and said nothing.
The woman in the room continued to yell: "Why don't you get out of here?"
When the man didn't move, the woman leaned out and closed the door. She glanced at Xu Du from the corner of her eye. Xu Du felt that his eyes were vicious, as if a poisonous snake was clinging to his neck, and he didn't dare to move at all.
The woman ignored her and closed the door with a bang.
Xu Du trembled all over, and a cold wind blew, making her shiver again.
Chen Jiwei looked at her with some embarrassment, "Are you a good landlord who came to see the house?"
Xu Du nodded, but couldn't help but sneeze.
He looked at Chen Jiwei apologetically, but saw him waving his hands, "I can't sell it anymore, so you can leave."
"Then your mother's illness is incurable?"
Xu Du was so anxious to see the house because Chen Jiwei said the situation was urgent and he was anxious to take action. However, he didn't expect that the matter was over before it even started.
Seeing that there is only one week left until the end of the month, Xu Du's performance this month also makes Xu Du feel a bit overwhelmed. He thought he had seized the opportunity, but now it seems that he has overthought it.
Chen Jiwei shook his head in despair, "It can't be cured. No disease can be cured without money."
Seeing Chen Jiwei tremblingly holding on to the handrail as he went downstairs, she thought of her mother and felt inexplicably sad.
"Mr. Chen, it may not be a good time to continue communicating with her today. If you really want to sell, I will find another opportunity to communicate with your wife..."
"No need, she is very pedantic, if you can't talk to her rationally, please leave!"
Xu Du didn't move, and even thought about whether to knock on the door now and communicate with the people in the room immediately.
Chen Jiwei's tone was unkind, "I asked you to leave, didn't you hear me?"
Xu Du pursed his lips, tightened his bag strap, and walked downstairs slowly.
The wooden door on the fourth floor opened, and Liu Yunlan watched the man holding a small umbrella walk away. After a while, Chen Jiwei also left in the rain, and she felt relieved.
The girl who was working on the test paper in the back room glanced at the raindrops on the glass to make sure there was no noise outside, and then got up and came out.
"Mom, did dad come here just now?"
Liu Yunlan looked at Chen Xin, her eyes a little softer, "It was a neighbor who borrowed something just now. The sound was a little loud. Did it disturb you?"
Chen Xin shook her head.
The sound insulation of the old house is not good.
She even saw the wall paint falling off in the room just now.
Liu Yunlan didn't see Chen Xin's unnatural expression and went to the kitchen, "Are you hungry? I just made dumplings. Do you want to eat boiled dumplings or steamed dumplings?"
"Mom, I want to eat fried dumplings."
"Okay, go and wash your hands. You have been doing your homework for so long. Take a look at the flowers and plants outside and do some exercise. The dumplings will be ready in no time!"
"Hmm." Chen Xin responded with a nasal sound and stood still for a while, as if she could hear the sound of frying oil in the kitchen.
Her heart was constantly being fried, but unfortunately the sound seemed very subtle amidst the sound of rain outside the window.
subway.
A group of people got off the carriage, and then another group of people squeezed in.
The handrail has been grasped and even pulled by countless hands.
Xu Du, on the other hand, wrapped his whole body around the pole, shrinking to protect himself from the wind.
Before the next stop was about to arrive, a seat finally became available in front of her. She took a deep breath and sat down, then looked at each other with a child next to her.
"Auntie, do you think there really is an Ultraman in this world?"
Xu Du had just celebrated his thirtieth birthday and was already immune to being called aunt.
Even my childhood memories of Ultraman are a little blurry.
