Chapter 589 The Importance of a Good Personality
She was an orphan who came to live in the workhouse.
Although he really wanted to tell the administrator aunt like this, considering that this excuse was a bit hellish, Leon explained in a different way:
"She is considered a reserve member of our bureau and came here to rent a house with me."
"That's it..."
After nodding her head in understanding, the administrator's aunt couldn't help but frowned and asked with some confusion:
"This child... looks only twelve or thirteen years old? Does your bureau still employ child labor?"
"No, she looked like this ten years ago. If you really count, she should be twenty-three or four this year."
"Then why did she..."
"Well...she had a serious illness ten years ago, so she has been like this ever since."
Got sick ten years ago? And then it never changed?
The administrator aunt was startled, and then whispered with some understanding:
"Did she have that... that something... dwarfism?"
"Ah, yes, yes! This is the disease!"
Reaching behind his back and grabbing the green-eyed girl's small hand that pinched the soft flesh of his waist, Leon continued to talk nonsense without changing his expression:
"Is this heredity or something? I don't understand this aspect. Anyway, she just doesn't grow taller...Aunt Mary, Philia prefers to be clean. Just arrange a room for her on the sixth floor."
"Ah okay."
The administrator's aunt nodded when she heard this, then took a look at the household register and asked:
"On the sixth floor, a quiet house that doesn't face the street... there is only one big house left with a monthly rent of 12 yuan. Is it acceptable?"
"able!"
After approving the green-eyed girl, Leon turned back and explained to Filia: "Don't worry, I will live here. I know the situation of Xingfu Apartment. The facilities here may be a little old. But there’s no shortage of everything that should be there, and there’s no need to worry about the neatness... By the way, Aunt Mary.”
When he said this, Leon turned around and said with some embarrassment: "Filia's home was hit by a disaster. Someone set a fire in her home and took away her previous deposits, furniture, house, etc. Everything was burned down, so she doesn’t have much money now, and the rent may have to be paid half a month later.”
"Oh, that's what happened. No wonder I'm looking for a house in this shabby place."
After hearing the situation of the "dwarf girl", the administrator's aunt couldn't help but sigh. She looked sympathetically at Philiya, who was physically disabled and strong-willed, but also suffered a disaster, and then said warmly: "It's okay, aunt. You promise, the child will live here first, don’t say whether you are in arrears with the rent or not, just wait until next month to pay it!”
"Thank you... thank you..."
"Hey, why are you so polite! It's not easy for everyone, so just help each other if you can."
At the same time, the labels of "suffering from a serious disease", "disaster at home", "poor" and "difficult to survive" were gathered together, and the girl with delicate and cute green eyes seemed to trigger the administrator's aunt to pity the poor and cherish the weak. inherent habits.
After helping Filia finish checking in, she took Leon and the two upstairs while comforting her with kind words:
"Don't worry, kid. There is no obstacle in this world that we can't pass. As long as we don't give up hope, the future will surely get better. I'm always with you in the duty room. If you need any help, just ask... By the way. "Is there anyone else in your family?" "Well... I have a brother..."
"Then does he have a place to stay? If not, can he come over? There are many vacant rooms in your big house, so it's no problem to accommodate two or three people..."
"Ahem!"
After clearing his throat forcefully and interrupting the administrator's words, Leon whispered: "The fire I mentioned earlier... was set by her brother himself..."
"Ah this..."
After hearing Leon's words, the administrator's aunt couldn't hold herself any longer, and then secretly turned around, where the green-eyed girl couldn't see her, and mouthed a question:
‘Why? Why do people still set fire to their own homes? ’
‘Hey, I don’t understand what he wants either. ’
While answering with his mouth, Leon stretched out his hand and pointed at his head, and then made a helpless expression on his face.
Oh, it turns out her brother has a brain problem!
After understanding Leon’s hint, the administrator’s aunt’s sympathy index suddenly went up to the next level when faced with the cute “little” girl behind her who had a fateful fate. As for the person who witnessed all the exchanges between her and Leon Philiya, on the other hand, was already furious.
Bastard pervert! You are the dwarf! Your brother is mentally ill!
Filia, who was so angry, had put her fear of Leon behind, and started to follow the two of them up the stairs with her short legs, while reaching out and pinching Leon desperately. of thigh.
Leon, who had successfully retaliated, completely ignored her attack, which was similar to tickling, and continued to walk unmoving. Even seeing that she was tired from climbing, he even picked up Filia after reaching the fifth floor and carried her directly. He followed her to the sixth floor.
"Well, the room I mentioned before is this one."
Looking at Leon behind him who was enthusiastically helping his sick colleague, and Philiya, who looked a bit stubborn and wanted to go up the stairs by herself without giving up, the administrator couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, and then handed the key to Leon. , asked with some embarrassment: "For the remaining ones, can you help me introduce this child? It seems that someone came to the first floor just now, and the old man is not here, so I have to go down and take a look first."
"No problem, leave it to me!"
After taking the house key and watching the administrator hurried downstairs, Leon thrust the key into the green-eyed girl's hand before she could explode, then opened the door and threw her in.
"You bastard..."
"This is your room... Okay, I've finished introducing everything that needs to be introduced. Remember to go to work in the bureau at seven o'clock tomorrow morning. Let's go."
After completing the introduction that was more perfunctory than too lazy to be bothered to explain, Leon ignored Menli Filia's roar and directly used the black goat's soul vision to take a look at his home.
Empty.
That's right, at this time, William, Melanie, and little Ellie should all still be in school and won't be back until almost the afternoon. Since Anna is not helping Aunt Mary, she is probably out shopping.
According to her shopping habits, she would not take a detour home after shopping, but would go directly to wait outside the Bridge School and pick up William and the others along the way, so they would be back together in about three or four hours.
If that's the case... go and check out the new recruits?
After calculating his free time, Leon did not go home. Instead, he went directly to the corridor, took out the forms given by the red-haired director before, and looked through them one by one.
Calculated based on three and a half hours, I have to leave half an hour to clean up, plus the time left to inspect the newcomers, so it is best to find something close to Bridge Street that can be reached within an hour...
Um? Wait a minute, there are actually residents of Happy Apartment inside and outside this investigation?
