That afternoon, Comrade Xu and Ge Lianghua came to Maolin Hotel again.
This time, they met the landlord of this small courtyard. From the landlord's mouth, Comrade Xu confirmed one thing - this landlord was really the aunt of Chang Min, the proprietress of Maolin Hotel.
Tongdao Xu negotiated with the landlord for a full year's rent, and then signed a formal lease.
Two leases.
One was signed with the landlord, and the other was signed with Chen Maolin, the owner of Maolin Hotel.
Once you sign the contract and pay the money, the small courtyard will be truly rented.
"Three days are enough for you to move, right?"
When paying, Comrade Xu confirmed the matter with Chen Maolin and his wife again.
According to the contract, everything in the store still belongs to the couple. He wants to open an Internet cafe here and let the decoration workers come in as soon as possible. The prerequisite must be that the couple move all the things in the store as soon as possible.
"That's enough! Three days is definitely enough."
Chen Maolin quickly promised with a happy smile on his face that he could get 3,500 yuan for the sublet, which obviously made him very satisfied.
Yes, three thousand and five thousand is a lot of money these days. Even a country person might not be able to save so much money if his whole family is busy for a year.
It's a pity that some people can't stand Chen Maolin smiling so happily.
This person is not Tongdao Xu, nor Ge Lianghua, nor Chen Maolin’s wife Chang Min.
It's Changmin's aunt, the landlord of this small courtyard.
As Chang Min's aunt, the landlady's aunt is naturally also named Chang.
Aunt Chang saw Chen Maolin smiling happily and reaching out to take the money from Comrade Xu's hand. She suddenly frowned and stepped forward, slapping Chen Maolin's hand away.
"Pa"
"Maolin! You'd better stop caring about the money! Don't go out gambling with this money again! Amin, you should keep the money! Don't you know what kind of character your man is? You dare to let him control the money?
?”
Aunt Chang said this very rudely.
It made the atmosphere very awkward on the spot.
Chen Maolin was embarrassed, and so was Chang Min.
Xu Tongdao and Ge Lianghua were surprised.
He looked at Chen Maolin in surprise, then at Chang Min, and then at Aunt Chang.
Aunt Chang's face was as dark as water, her expression unchanged.
But Chen Maolin and Chang Min were even more embarrassed because of the looks in Xu Tongdao's and Ge Lianghua's eyes.
Chen Maolin's old face turned red, his expression was embarrassed and aggrieved.
Chang Min stepped forward awkwardly, took the money from Tongdao Xu, and forced out an awkward smile, "Thank you! Just give me the money! Don't worry, we promise to move everything here within three days. We won't
It will delay your opening of the store."
Gambler?
These two words flashed through Xu Tongdao's mind. He looked at her embarrassed smile in surprise, and then looked at Chen Maolin who looked awkward. He felt a little incredible in his heart.
This morning, when Chang Min was negotiating the rent with him, she was so eloquent, so firm in her stance, and so difficult to deal with. For such a powerful woman, her husband... is actually a gambler?
Such a powerful woman can't control a man?
And yesterday... Chen Maolin looked so unbearable when he was drunk and went crazy.
This woman actually had sex with him?
What did she like about Chen Maolin? Is it so difficult to cut it off and stop the loss in time?
Tongdao Xu couldn't understand it for a while.
Of course, he is not related to them, so he does not need to understand this kind of problem.
It has nothing to do with him anyway.
Squeezing out a smile, "Okay! It's settled then. If nothing happens, we'll leave first?"
Tongdao Xu didn't want to get involved in other people's family affairs.
Chang Min: "Okay, then walk slowly!"
Aunt Chang: "Walk slowly!"
…
Comrade Xu and Ge Lianghua said goodbye and went out.
When he walked out of the courtyard, Ge Lianghua couldn't help but look back at the couple in the courtyard and laughed, "This is the old saying, a good man doesn't have a good wife, so a lazy man marries a slut, right? Xiaodao, you said it's just a useless snack like Chen Maolin, that one
Changmin...how could she bear it? She didn't divorce him? With a man like that, any man in the street would be better than him, right? What is that woman after? Just because that guy is not ugly?"
Xu Tongdao shook his head and sighed. In fact, he also felt the same way.
However, regarding this issue, he was not as confused as Ge Lianghua.
Because before he was reborn, he had seen many similar things.
A typical example is the young talents in the entertainment industry who are fanatically obsessed with young female fans.
It seems that just because the little fresh meat is good-looking, those young female fans like it so much that they can't close their legs. With their fanatical attitude, they shouted that they would give birth to monkeys for those little fresh meat...
Let him believe that if those women met such a good-looking man in real life, they would definitely be willing to fall in love with him.
Just make a face.
Therefore, Comrade Xu was thinking at this time: When Chang Min... was young, was it because Chen Maolin was handsome enough that he was willing to marry her?
However, after getting married, she slowly discovered that Chen Mao had a hidden agenda, but she was already trapped, and year after year, she couldn't bear to get divorced?
Maybe so, maybe not.
Comrade Xu had no idea of going into details.
It has nothing to do with him anyway.
He was just a little curious, would Chang Min divorce Chen Maolin in the future?
Can she endure it forever?
In addition to being curious, Comrade Xu felt a little lucky.
Fortunately, this morning, he did not choose to hire one of the couple to be the cashier of his new Internet cafe in order to save some rent.
Since Chen Maolin has a gambling addiction, he is uncontrollable and unpredictable. No one can tell what crazy things this person will do.
If this guy loses too much gambling one day, he might actually move the computer in his Internet cafe and sell it.
Comrade Xu deeply hates people who are addicted to gambling.
reason?
His father, Xu Weixi, was addicted to gambling. After losing money in gambling, he ran away with his aunt, completely ignoring how his wife and children would live in the future.
In the original time and space, his family suffered a tragedy. After his rebirth, Tongdao Xu was admitted to high school, but he could only choose to make money...
It can be said that he was deeply affected by it.
So, how could he have a crush on someone with a gambling addiction?
…
Three days later, Comrade Xu and Ge Lianghua came to Maolin Hotel again.
The store was already empty, and everything that could be moved had been moved away.
Chen Maolin is not here today. Only Changmin, a charming young woman, is waiting in the store for Comrade Xu and the others.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long?"
As soon as they met, Comrade Xu greeted him with a smile.
Today Changmin looks a little more haggard than three days ago. Maybe it’s because he was tired from moving in the past three days? Who knows!
"No, I haven't been here long, here! This is the key to here."
Chang Min forced a smile and stepped forward to hand a bunch into Xu Tongdao's hand.
"Thank you! Has the move gone smoothly these two days?"
Comrade Xu asked this out of politeness.
Chang Min nodded, "Fortunately, it went very smoothly."
As she spoke, she smoothed the hair around her ears, pinched her hands together, and opened her mouth with some restraint. She hesitated to speak, but she still opened her mouth and said to Xu Tongdao, who was looking at the layout of the store: "Xiao Xu,
I, can I ask, what store do you plan to open here? Um, are you going to invite people here?"
