Tang Chen, who was carrying the torn work clothes from last night, limped into the neighborhood. He originally wanted to go to the sewing shop opened by Grandma Zhang on the first floor to see if his uniform could be fixed, but when he turned in, he saw the landlady sitting at the elevator in the distance. She had a head of wavy hair, which was now the most popular style, and was eating melon seeds on a bench.

Tang Chen withdrew his foot, turned around and ran out of the district with the bag in his hand. On the way, he met his aunt, Abel, who greeted him, but ignored it and limped around to the park at the back of the district. He bit the bag tightly and climbed up the big tree.

"Chen, you're back?" The old man who was standing under the tree and hitting Taiji smiled when he saw Tang Chen. He greeted him with a smile and then continued to hit his Taiji: "Didn't you go to America? So early? "

Tang Chen couldn't answer him with the bag in his mouth, so he could only turn around and smile at the old man, then immediately started climbing up.

"Oh, Chen, you're back from America?" When the aunt holding the basket saw him, she waved at him enthusiastically, "Auntie, my daughter-in-law is here to see the parents today. I've prepared a big table of food. I'll come for dinner tonight!"

"Right, Chen, come to his house for dinner tonight. Her daughter has been thinking about you ever since you left, and now a hole is about to be seen through her window."

"That's not just for show. My daughter is young and beautiful, she's compatible with Chen. If Chen marries my daughter, that would be his fortune." The aunt cast a sidelong glance at the man and immediately looked up happily at her future son-in-law, but there was no trace of him in the tree.

Tang Chen went to the balcony on the second floor. Looking around, he did not see the landlady come to arrest him before he found the key to open the door. He carefully entered the house with the bag in his mouth and closed the door.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Just as Tang Chen was about to fall asleep, a heaven-shaking knock came from the door outside. Tang Chen was about to fall asleep when a heaven-shaking knock came from the door.

"Tang Chen!" I know you're inside! Hurry up and open the door for me! "

Tang Chen shrunk and curled himself into a ball on the sofa. He recalled the several hundred yuan he took out from his bank card yesterday and didn't even have the courage to answer.

"What did you say before you left for America? I paid the rent as soon as I got back. He left the door open and climbed down the tree to enter. Do you think I'm dead?! "Hurry up and come out to hand over the money!"

Tang Chen did not make a sound, but somehow, he remembered the days when he was at home. His eyes turned red and he folded himself into a ball, trying his best to shrink back into the corner of the sofa.

"Do you want to pay up or not!?" I heard you came back wearing a bright suit. If you have the money to buy such expensive suits, you won't have the money to pay the rent?! "

The person inside the house didn't make a sound from beginning to end, causing the landlord, who was shouting through the iron door, to lose interest. He gave the ultimatum, "I'll give you three more days. If you still can't pay the rent, I'll kick you out!"

Tang Chen still didn't answer. There were also many guests on the same floor who came out to watch a good show. The landlord immediately felt bored, so he could only clap his hands and prepare to leave. However, before she could even walk out of the door, a small stack of RMB was squeezed out from the crack of the door. However, before she could crazily bend over to pick up the money, she heard a faint apologetic voice from inside, "Auntie, I didn't mean not to pay the rent. I'll give you 600 yuan. I'll pay the rest in two days."

After counting the money with saliva on his face, the landlord unwillingly snorted, "It's not easy for anyone these days. I'll give you three days. After three days, don't say you're going to the United States or Thailand, do you understand?"

The person inside was silent for a while, then softly replied, "No, I won't."

"Alright then, I'll come find you in three days!" The landlord accepted the money, stuffed the money into the pocket of his skirt, and left with a shake of his body. As the sound of high heels gradually faded away, Tang Chen, who was leaning against the door, suddenly lost his strength and slid down close to the door frame …
