The landlord stood at the door, looking shrewd and calculating, "Little girl, last month the water bill was 150 and the electricity bill was 200. Please pay it."
Ye Zhenzhen crossed her arms. He frowned and said, "Don't bully me! Even if I swim in my room every day, I can't use thirty tons of water!"
The landlord shook his head and said, "Then I don't know, why do you use so much water? Water?"
Ye Zhenzhen's eyes widened and she became more and more angry, "I told you that the toilet tank was leaking two days ago, but you didn't come to fix the toilet. There's no way it's leaking so much! Why did you waste so much water if you came here to fix it earlier? I won't pay for it!"
The landlord is collecting water and electricity bills today, and all eight tenants on the third floor are at home.
When the tenants heard the quarrel, they opened the door and looked around. The tenant next door moved a plastic stool and leaned against the door frame to watch the excitement.
Ye Zhenzhen and the landlord were in a tense confrontation, and the landlord walked into the bathroom to check the toilet.
He put down the water tank cover and clapped his hands, "Girl, you can fix the toilet, but you have to pay the water bill."
Ye Zhenzhen's broken hair stood up on her forehead, and her chest heaved violently. , "Why! I won't pay it!"
Landlord: "You still have a deposit and rent, it's okay if you don't pay it!"
The landlord's meaning is very clear, anyway, there are The deposit is there, at worst it will be deducted from the deposit, and Ye Zhenzhen will have to take the loss.
Ye Zhenzhen bit her lower lip, she was simply bullying!
The landlord left in a hurry and came back with a toolbox not long after. He was sweating and panting. He opened the water tank cover in the bathroom, and water flowed out from the overflow pipe.
"Hey, little girl, the drain valve is broken, just buy a replacement."
The landlord held up the broken drain valve and waved it in front of Ye Zhenzhen. .
He ran downstairs "dong dong dong" again, and soon bought a drain valve and hurriedly installed a new water valve.
Ye Zhenzhen's expression calmed down slightly. Fixing the toilet and stopping it from leaking would be better than anything else.
"Landlord, the water bill of one hundred and fifty is too much. You should bear fifty! I'll give you three hundred for the water and electricity bill."
Ye Zhenzhen took out three hundred in cash. Handing it to him, the landlord scratched his head and hesitated to accept the money.
"Landlord, you won't suffer any loss."
Ye Zhenzhen raised her arms in the air and forced a smile. She put the money into the landlord's hand. The landlord held the money, turned around and left.
In the private houses rented out by Yuncheng, each tenant has an independent water and electricity meter. The landlord can manipulate the specific meter. An extra 100 yuan a month for water and electricity bills per household is a considerable amount of income.
The tenants are all migrant workers from other places. They are exhausted from work and just want to clean up after get off work. Few of them would argue with the landlord over a hundred dollars.
With so many migrant workers, there is no need to worry about renting out the houses, so the landlords are confident.
Ye Zhenzhen knew that she was being cheated, so she could only bargain with the landlord. If you don’t have the ability to buy a house, it’s not surprising that residential housing is like this.
As soon as the landlord left, the neighbors who were watching the excitement started discussing.
"Beauty, amazing!"
"These landlords are also shameless, cheating on us every day!"
In the past two days, there was a faint sound of running water in the bathroom, and it was noisy. Ye Zhenzhen couldn't sleep, so she went to work with dark circles under her eyes and yawning every day.
Right now she was in no mood to talk nonsense with her neighbors, she just wanted to sleep. I got off work at 3:30, and when I came back, I saw the landlord charging me. It was almost five o'clock.
She went to the bathroom to take a shower, closed the curtains and caught up on her sleep.
The room was dark, and her face was as soft as water, like a tired butterfly resting among the flowers. Her breathing gradually became even and gentle, and she soon fell asleep peacefully.
She was holding an umbrella in confusion, wearing a white dress, and it was misty and rainy in the south of the Yangtze River.
There was a vague figure walking beside her, and the man smiled and held her hand.

"As long as you stay in Jiangnan, such beautiful scenery will be in front of you every day."
Ye Zhenzhen suddenly woke up from her dream, the curtains were tightly closed, and there was not a trace of darkness in the darkness. bright.
The couple next door let out primitive gasps at the top of their lungs, the bed board shook and made a creaking sound, and the joyful sound of killing a pig made everyone blush.
The sound of "tap...tap..." came, and the sound that seemed to be absent sounded in the room.
He raised his ears, the sound of dripping water became more and more urgent.
She sat up in shock, reached out to touch the switch on the wall, got out of bed and went to the bathroom to check.
There were cracks in the water pipes beside the wall, and water dripped from the cracks. There was a puddle of water on the ground. The drops grew larger and faster, and the stagnant water flowed to her feet.
Ye Zhenzhen squatted down and reached out to cover the water pipe, water gushes out from the crack in her hand.
She got up and ran back to the bed, and called the landlord in a panic, "Hello! Landlord? I am a tenant of 305. The water pipe in the bathroom is leaking. It is leaking more and more. Please come and fix it as soon as possible. ..."
The landlord's voice was a little helpless, "I just returned to the countryside..."
Ye Zhenzhen's long hair was spread freely, and she reached out to tuck the hair behind her ears. "What should we do? The water pipe is about to burst!"
Rushing back to the bathroom, she took off her towel and put it on the water pipe.
The landlord said: "I will think of a way..."
"Then you should think of a way quickly. Where should I stay at night if the water pipe bursts?"
The landlord hangs up After disconnecting the phone, she clutched the water pipe and jumped up and down. Water sprouted from the cracks. She dodged left and right, her face covered with water droplets, and her hair got wet and stuck to her neck.
The water pressure in the water pipes is getting bigger and bigger, and the water looks likeA fountain gushes out from the crack, and Ye Zhenzhen is soaked in water. She turned her head sideways and closed her eyes and mouth tightly, anxiously hoping that the landlord would think of a solution soon.
A knock on the door came.
A man's voice sounded outside the door: "The landlord is fixing the water pipes!"
Although the man also had a local accent, he sounded younger than the landlord.
The landlord did not call her back. A strange man knocked on the door late at night, and fine particles appeared on Ye Zhenzhen's skin.
She was a little confused: "Isn't the landlord in the country?"
The man said: "The landlord asked me to come. Please open the door quickly and wait for the sewer pipe to burst!"

The cracks were getting bigger and bigger, and more and more water was gushing out. Ye Zhenzhen seemed to be standing in the pouring rain, with wrinkles at the end of her eyes and her lips tightened.
Ye Zhenzhen choked on the water and could only hold her breath.
The water in the bathroom covered the insteps and flowed into the room along the crack in the door.
The knock on the door turned into a slam on the door.
Ye Zhenzhen stood up and raised her hand to wipe her face. After hesitating for a moment, she rushed out of the bathroom, stepped through the puddle of water, and suddenly pulled the door handle open.
The man outside the door was wearing glasses and carrying a toolbox, "Is that you?"
The water on her hair slid down her forehead, blurring her vision. She rubbed it with the back of her hand. Rubbing his eyes, the man in front of him looked familiar.
The man squeezed into the room and strode towards the bathroom.
As soon as Ye Zhenzhen stepped into the bathroom, the man was wrapping a towel on the water pipe. The water seemed to be less powerful.
Ye Zhenzhen relaxed slightly, breathed a long sigh of relief, and reached out to smooth her wet hair.
"Bang!"
