Chapter 420 Hello, Clown (11)
The young man's heart is very delicate, and he can ignore other people's opinions and remarks, but for important people, their words and deeds will make him think for a long time.
Jiang Tang pursed his lips slightly and immediately spoke.
"The rice in the bowl is gone. Are you a fool if you just eat without eating the vegetables?"
Only then did Ling Chao realize that there was not a grain of rice in the bowl, but he was still holding the chopsticks and putting it into his mouth.
"..."
These days, it is rarer for a grown man in his twenties to blush easily than to see a three-legged monkey in the zoo.
Jiang Tang looked at his soft short hair and felt itchy in his heart, always wanting to rub it.
After dinner, it was sunny outside.
Jiang Tang has to go to the restaurant to work at one o'clock, and it is still an hour before one o'clock.
"Are you okay this afternoon?"
Ling Chao took the initiative to speak, worried that she would waste Jiang Tang's time.
"You have to go to work in the afternoon, how about you?"
"Well, street performance."
After saying that, Ling Chao stood up, walked towards the cashier, and paid the money neatly.
"Where do you work?"
“The restaurant is right across the street.”
Ling looked towards the opposite side and nodded.
"Then you go to work."
Watching Jiang Tang walk into the restaurant, Ling Chao put his hands in his pockets and turned towards the bus stop.
He didn't bring any costume with him today, so he had to go home and put on makeup before going out on the street.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the community, he saw a group of people standing downstairs, gathering around and whispering.
As soon as Ling Chao approached, the group of people immediately dispersed. Most of them were women who lived nearby. On weekdays, when they had nothing to do, they just liked to gather together and chat about family affairs.
Looking at their expressions, Ling Chao felt a little uneasy and rushed up with long legs. As soon as he reached the stairwell, he heard sharp curses coming from the top of the building. The voice was familiar, it belonged to the landlord.
Ling Chao looked slightly cold and rushed to the top of the building quickly. As soon as he stepped onto the last step, he saw the landlady sitting at the door. Several bamboo baskets were crushed under her feet. They were made by her grandma with so much hard work. , one basket takes her a whole day to weave by hand.
The landlady is a woman in her thirties, thin and mean. She lost a man a few years ago and her personality has become even more bitter.
Ling Chao rushed into the room and felt relieved when she saw her grandma standing inside safe and sound.
"I've already paid last month's rent, what are you doing?!"
The young man ran wildly from the first floor to the rooftop, beads of sweat oozing out from his forehead. His smooth and white face exuded a sharp-edged and stern look. He slightly narrowed his pale eyes and bullied his chest fiercely.
The landlady glanced at him up and down, and the next second she opened her lips, her cheeks without much flesh sunken deeply, looking a little sinister.
"Last month was last month, what about this month?"
The voice was strange and shrill.
Ling Chao's face darkened slightly.
"You said it yourself, the rent is due in the middle of every month, and today is only the third."
The landlady scoffed.
"The house is mine. I can take it on any date I want. If you don't want to live in it, take your grandma and get out!"
Ling Chao felt angry and clenched his fists.
"Then you return the deposit to us, and we will move out immediately!"
"Deposit? What deposit? When you lived here, you were only a teenager and you knew what a deposit was. Where did your grandmother, an old woman who picked up rags, get the money to pay for the deposit?!"
"You——!"
"Xiaochao!"
A warm hand suddenly grabbed Ling Chao and patted his back gently.
Grandma was still smiling, hunched over, patted Ling Chao's arm, and looked at the landlady sitting in front of her.
