Peach Pit Landlord

Chapter 10 Collecting Rent

Although Li Yuan hated Wu Jinlong, the other party was also the landlord, so he could only greet him and said, "Boss Wu, what do you need from me?"

"What Boss Wu!" Wu Jinlong pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "We are all old neighbors now, you will be out of touch like this, you should call me Uncle, Uncle Wu!"

"Bah, you deserve it too?!" Looking at Wu Jinlong's fat face full of fake smiles, Li Yuan couldn't help but spat hard in his heart.

In fact, the house Li Yuan lives in originally belonged to him and his mother. However, when Li Yuan was in high school, his mother suddenly became ill and needed medical treatment, but the mother and son who lived in poverty could not even pay for the medical expenses. But Wu Jinlong took advantage of the fire at this time to rob, and offered a very low price to buy the house that Li Yuan and his son wanted to buy. At that time, Li Yuan was eager to collect money to treat his mother's illness, so he had no choice but to agree.

Later, Li Yuan's mother passed away, and he also lost his shelter. At that time, Li Yuan didn't want to leave the place where he lived with his mother, so he rented the old house back from Wu Jinlong. Although the house is still the original house, Li Yuan has changed from the owner to the tenant.

Many neighbors were very dissatisfied with Wu Jinlong's behavior of taking advantage of the fire at that time, and Zhao Qian's parents did not speak to him for a long time because of this. Li Yuan, who was the person involved, was naturally even more unforgettable, that is, from then on, he began to refer to Wu Jinlong as Boss Wu.

Although Wu Jinlong wanted to get close, Li Yuan didn't appreciate it, and just talked about other things: "You haven't said what you can do with me."

In fact, Wu Jinlong was just pretending to be polite, but in his heart he preferred Li Yuan to call himself "Boss Wu". So Wu Jinlong didn't struggle with the address, and quickly said with a smirk on his face: "It's almost the end of the month, I'm here to collect the rent."

"Rent?" Li Yuan frowned and said, "It's only the 25th today, don't you usually pay the rent on the 1st?"

Wu Jinlong's expression remained unchanged and he said: "This month's situation is special, um... I'm a little tight, so I want to collect it a few days in advance. Sigh... Uncle Wu also has difficulties, Xiao Li, you can understand me, right?"

Li Yuan knew just by looking at Wu Jinlong's expression that the so-called tight money was just an excuse. The reason why he came to collect the rent in advance must be because he heard something that was not good for him. Li Yuan thought for a while and realized that the most likely person to spread such rumors and convince Wu Jinlong was his precious son Wu Hua.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan asked Wu Jinlong calmly: "Have you heard any rumors that are not good for me?"

"Hehe, I heard that you will be going out for a while." Wu Jinlong smiled awkwardly, and then said uncompromisingly: "I'm afraid you'll be out for too long, so... I want to collect the rent first."

After hearing Wu Jinlong's words, Li Yuan was sure that Wu Hua was behind the scenes. This guy was not reconciled to being ridiculed by Li Yuan yesterday, so he brought out his father to take revenge on him.

But now Li Yuan has money in his pocket and doesn't panic, he just smiled lightly at Wu Jinlong and said: "You are right, I may really have to go out in a few days, anyway, you have already come, so pay the rent first Bar."

After saying this, under Wu Jinlong's surprised gaze, Li Yuan counted 800 yuan and handed it to him, "This is next month's rent, please write a receipt."

Li Yuan didn't dare to be careless towards a villain like Wu Jinlong, especially when dealing with money. So this side just gave Wu Jinlong the money, and then asked him for a receipt.

Wu Jinlong also knew Li Yuan's habits. After counting the banknotes and making sure the number was correct, he immediately took out a note from his pocket with a smile and said, "I've prepared the receipt a long time ago. Check to see if there is any problem."

Li Yuan took a look at the receipt, then carefully put it away and said, "No problem, is there anything else?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm leaving first!" Wu Jinlong came here to collect the money, and he was not interested in talking nonsense with Li Yuan after he achieved his goal.

After a perfunctory sentence, he took the money and left with a smile.

After Wu Jinlong left, Li Yuan opened the courtyard door and returned to his residence. He didn't want Wu Jinlong to see the three scary tomato "trees" in the yard, otherwise God knows what kind of moths this greedy guy will have.

Although he was exhausted throughout the morning, Li Yuan didn't bother to take a sip of water, so he went to check the four ginseng plants planted in flower pots.

In fact, the hot summer climate in the south of the Yangtze River is not suitable for the growth of ginseng. However, when Li Yuan saw these four ginseng plants, he was still very surprised.

After a day and a night of growth, the ground parts of the four ginseng trees are more than one foot high. Not only the plants are emerald green and watery, but also have seven palmate compound leaves. Li Yuan once checked on the Internet that only ginseng that is more than 20 years old will grow seven compound leaves. That is to say, under the effect of the golden beads, these four ginseng plants grow for a whole day, which is equivalent to growing in the wild for more than twenty years!

Li Yuan looked at the growing ginseng with joy, and couldn't help admiring in a low voice: "Tsk tsk...it only took a day to grow like this, the peach pit is really a good thing!"

Li Yuan said while holding the peach stone hanging on his chest, his face was full of relief. If he had doubts the day before, now he is very sure that this peach pit will bring earth-shaking changes to his life. Life goals that seemed unrealistic in the past are now more than just dreams.

But I am happy, Li Yuan is still troubled by another problem, that is when is the right time to harvest these ginseng.

One must know that if the gold beads were collected early, the effect of the gold beads must not have completely disappeared, so it would be wasteful. And if it was late, it would be a waste of Li Yuan's time.

Fortunately, this problem did not bother Li Yuan for too long. That night, he discovered that the leaves of two of the ginseng trees were no longer as green as they were during the day, but had become dull, and even the leaves themselves looked a little pale. Withered. But the other two ginseng trees still looked the same, they were thriving, no different from the daytime ones.

Li Yuan himself didn't know why there were two different situations for the same ginseng planted together. But one thing is certain, that is, there is no need to plant the two changed ginseng trees, but to dig them out.

During these two days, Li Yuan also checked some information on wild ginseng, knowing that wild ginseng also pays attention to its appearance, the more complete the ginseng as a whole, especially the roots, the better.

So when digging, Li Yuan was also very careful not to break any roots. After more than an hour of hard work, the two ginsengs were completely dug out.

After the ginseng was dug out, Li Yuan found a soft-bristled toothbrush and dipped it in water to carefully wash off the dirt on the skin. The two ginsengs finally showed their true colors in front of him.

Looking at the two washed ginsengs, Li Yuan couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart: "Awesome!"
