Chapter 9 Flooded Apartment
"What's the matter, big sister?" Xiaomi didn't even come out with a smiling face, and a group of people gathered from both sides of the corridor.

There are more than 20 of them.

"You still know to come back, go home and have a look!" an older aunt said to Xiaomi.

"The property owner called you and you turned off the phone. Are you unethical?"

"That's right, uneducated!"

"..."

The constant verbal abuse and complaints made Xiaomi’s head almost explode.

Xiaomi didn't retort, she had to see what happened first, she quickened her pace and walked towards her room 1609.

This morning when I left, the battery on my mobile phone might have been low. Xiaomi put away the mobile phone after finishing the video with Zhu Xinfu at noon. Unexpectedly, it automatically shut down when it ran out of battery. I only found out after eating dinner and getting on the subway.

"It's too shameful of you, you've been away for a day, so we can't go to the bathroom all day on Sunday!" A loud uncle with a Northeast accent shouted after him.

"Yeah, it doesn't matter if you usually play loud music at home, we all tolerate it, but we didn't expect you to become more and more outrageous!"

"Let her pay!"

Until Xiaomi walked to the door of the house, the group of people followed behind and continued to scold.

Xiaomi opened the door and saw that there was a water leak.

Only then did I realize that the water was cut off when I got up in the morning, and I probably forgot to turn off the tap when I turned it on in a hurry.

Xiaomi turned around and was about to apologize to everyone when a man with a strange accent also started swearing.

"After holding it in for a whole day, the urine bubble almost exploded, I still hurt now! Damn GB!"

Xiaomi finally couldn't bear it anymore. Seeing that this man is over 40 years old, talking to a girl like that?
"You hold your shit and pee so much that it flows back into your mouth, spraying feces all over your mouth?"

"You dare to curse?" As soon as Xiaomi finished speaking, several women immediately rushed up to fight with Xiaomi, and the man who cursed came up and kicked Xiaomi.

Instinctively, Xiaomi stepped back and leaned his back against the wall, so as to avoid being attacked from all sides, but after all, he was weak alone, so how could he stand up to these fierce middle-aged men and women.

The opponent grabbed his arm, pulled his hair, and greeted Xiaomi with kicks and scratches.

"Stop! Talk about things, don't hit people!" The two property management personnel who heard the news ran over and pulled them away with great effort.

There was burning pain on the face and the corners of the mouth. When I stretched out my hand, my mouth was bleeding.

The anxious Xiaomi didn't care about these, went back to the house, picked up the kitchen knife and rushed out, going straight to the man who scolded her for kicking her just now, the property staff didn't expect Xiaomi to make such a move, and was stunned. Down, failed to stop her.

The aunts and sisters who were so arrogant just now and all came together to grab Xiaomi, her hair was messy and the corners of her mouth were bleeding, were now so frightened that they all pressed against the wall. When the man saw this situation, he also turned around and ran to the other end of the corridor, even falling in panic. I fell down and lost my slippers without even bothering to pick them up.

"Look at your bastard, I don't like men like you who beat women the most. When it comes to serious rounds, they are all cowards!" Xiaomi chased and scolded.

At this time, the elevator door opened, and three more property managers came. A middle-aged woman grabbed Xiaomi, took the knife from Xiaomi's hand, and handed it to another male property manager.

Then he yelled at the people in the corridor: "It's wrong, it's all neighbors, so many of you beat up a little girl like this? Don't you know that beating is against the law? Let's call the police station if you do anything else!"

"Don't you have children? What if your children are beaten like this? You can really do it!" An older male manager also spoke.

The thugs in the apartment immediately became honest. Although a few of them were still muttering, they were no longer as confident as before.

"Okay, everyone go back, we will take care of this matter."

Everyone in this middle-aged female community knows her. She is the person in charge of the property company in this community. Everyone calls her Manager Sun, and the younger ones call her Sister Sun.

"Xiao Tian, ​​you go home and turn off the faucet first, because you and we had to close the main gate. Since the water came in at noon until now, dozens of families controlled by this gate have no water to flush their toilets. Please be considerate of them. "Sister Sun said.

Xiaomi nodded, with tears in his eyes.

"Let's clean up the house first. It's probably soaked in water. Remember to come to the property tomorrow morning. Is your injury serious?"

Xiaomi shook his head.

The water at home was two centimeters deep, with several plastic basins floating on the surface. Yiman's underwear and socks were scattered in the water, and a few pairs of shoes at the door were probably damaged by soaking.

It has been seeping for more than a long time and there is still so much water, it is estimated that the depth at that time can submerge the ankles.

"Come on, Xiao Wang, let's help her tidy up." Sister Sun called another female proprietor to come over to help.

"No need, Sister Sun, I'll do it myself." Xiaomi waded into the water to pick up the basin and the clothes in the water. Tears kept pouring out of her eyes and dripping down her cheeks into the water.

"They all say that you come to BJ to work hard. What can a little girl do with no one to rely on? What's so good about BJ? How can you be bullied like this with your parents around?" The property manager surnamed Wang was helping to drain the bathroom. He was talking in the water.

"Okay, stop talking, work quickly." The more Wang Yuyu said, the faster Xiaomi's tears flowed, and Sister Sun quickly stopped her.

After the water in the house was almost treated, Sister Sun and Sister Wang said goodbye: "Okay, you can clean up the rest yourself, remember to come to the property tomorrow morning!"

Xiaomi sent the two of them away, closed the door, threw herself on the bed, and burst into tears.

Tears of grievance soaked the pillow cover...

After a long time, Xiaomi got up, plugged the phone into the charger, turned it on, and called her mother.

"Xiaomi, what's the matter with calling so late?" came the familiar voice of her mother.

Mom, I miss you.

Xiaomi choked back on the sentence that was originally a natural response to the situation.

My mother is not in good health, my father has a heart attack, and my younger brother will take the college entrance examination in two more months. They can't let them worry about themselves anymore.

Xiaomi held back his sobs, and lied that he just woke up from a nap in the afternoon and didn't check the time.

Hearing that there was nothing wrong with Xiaomi, the mother hung up the phone after scolding her.

Within a few minutes, his father called again. In Xiaomi's eyes, his father was a man of few words but very attentive. He forced him to ask Xiaomi if something had happened.

Xiaomi almost couldn't hold back.

My father hung up the phone in doubt, and Xiaomi's tears rolled down again like pearls with a broken string.

I got up and went to the ground, crying and cleaning up the mess by myself, and I didn't go to bed until after three o'clock in the middle of the night.

This night, it was extremely cold, so cold that it made people feel that their internal organs were icy cold.

……

Xiaomi was woken up by the invitation sound of a WeChat video, which was sent by Zhu Xinfu.

In a daze, Xiaomi accepted the invitation.

"I heard from Lan Lan that you are coming to Taoranting today? When will you arrive?" Can't this guy do anything else besides eating?He also held a fritter in his hand.

"I'm not going!" Xiaomi shouted into the phone angrily, but found that her voice was hoarse.

At the same time, I was scared by myself in the phone.

Eyes that looked like weeping blisters, a large bruise on the right cheek between the cheekbone and the right eye, a half-cut scratch on the chin and a swollen lip.

Completely unworthy.

Xiaomi immediately moved his face away from the camera.

"What's the matter? Which grandson did it?!" Zhu Xinfu threw the fried dough stick and stood up.

For some reason, these words made Xiaomi feel a bit of unexpected warmth, and tears welled up in his eyes again.

Just look at it, since he saw it, there is nothing to hide.

Xiaomi stopped crying, turned his face to the camera, looked at Zhu Xinfu quietly, and didn't speak.

See how this person who keeps saying he wants to be friends with him can react.

Xiaomi didn't know why he did this, did he want him to bring someone to help him take revenge?Of course not, do you want to tell him the grievance and depression in your heart?Not at all.

why?She couldn't explain it herself.

The playful Xiaomi has always regarded himself as an optimist, but at this moment, an unprecedented loneliness fills his senses.

Maybe it's this loneliness that drives it?
If the people in the company saw his miserable state, some would sympathize and some would gloat. At least this fat man didn't laugh at himself.

"Send me a seat and I'll be there right away." Zhu Xinfu's voice was serious.

"What are you doing here?"

"Nonsense, my friend has never been bullied like this, quick, tell me the address."

"What are you talking about, I accidentally rolled down the stairs and fell."

"Nonsense, can't I tell the difference between the fell and the hit?"

Seeing Zhu Xinfu's anxious look, Xiaomi felt that it was a bit funny. She really couldn't let him come. Firstly, she had just met him and was not familiar with him. Being friends was his wishful thinking. He had no intention of having anything to do with him. Secondly, The cause of yesterday's incident was that I was wronged, but after being beaten, I was justified, and if Zhu Xinfu came to lead people to make a fuss, it would be unreasonable again.

If something really happened, I would not dare to think about the consequences.

"I didn't go to bed until three o'clock yesterday, and I still want to sleep for a while, so go ahead and eat your breakfast!" Xiaomi hung up the video.

No matter how much Zhu Xinfu bombarded him with WeChat and phone calls, Xiaomi didn't answer.

Then he simply turned off the phone, threw the phone on the bed, and sat there with blank eyes...

At around nine o'clock, Xiaomi threw on a sports suit and a mask and went out to the property.

One code equals one code. Yesterday's beating was another matter, but my own water seeped downstairs, which probably caused damage. This community is full of apartments. The landlord and the property management are the same thing. I'm afraid I can't avoid the fine. .

"Come on, Xiaotian, sit down." Sister Sun stood up with a smile.

Xiaomi took off her mask, and Sister Wang, who helped clean the house yesterday, also came over: "Did you call the police? I will testify for you. No one can let them go, and they will be beaten like this..."

Sister Sun gave Sister Wang a blank look. Xiaomi knew that Sister Sun definitely didn't want to make things big. The small ones would affect the reputation of the property company, and the big ones would affect the selection of the civilized community at the end of the year. Sister Sun is the leader. Leaders can be favored , cannot be humane.

"Forget it." Xiaomi said in a low voice.

"Then how can we forget it?" Sister Wang shouted again.

Xiaomi looked at Sister Wang gratefully. There are still many good people these days.

"Xiao Wang, go to Building No. 6 to see if the access control is normal?" Sister Sun has used the power of the leader. Harmonize the world and have zero tolerance for fanning the flames.

After Sister Wang left unhappily, Sister Sun happily started to discuss business with Xiaomi.

"Is it okay to be hurt?"

"fine."

"That's good."

After a few awkward seconds, Sister Sun poured Xiaomi a glass of water.

"Xiaotian, Tian Xiaomi, I checked your rent payment record. It should be due in more than ten days." Sister Sun said.

"Well, I'm preparing the rent here, and I must pay it on time." Last quarter, Xiaomi paid more than ten days late, and the last quarter, last quarter... Xiaomi guessed that he had entered the property blacklist up.

Sister Sun immediately retracted her smile and changed to a cold face:

"No need to pay."
