My name is Uncle Li and I am 66 years old this year. In the past life, I have worked hard, for the sake of my family, for my children, and for this little happiness, I have been working non-stop. Now, I am retired and receive a pension of 7,000 a month. For others, this may be a good number, but for me, it has become a pain in the heart. Because, even though I have this pension, I can't even take out 10,000 yuan.
I, Uncle Li, am an ordinary old man. In my heart, my greatest wish is to be able to raise my children to be adults and let them live a happy life. But the reality is not always satisfactory. My son, Li Ming, is now a college student, and I have worked hard to earn the cost of his study, and I don't even dare to eat a good meal in order to provide for him to study. However, he didn't know how to cherish it, he had nothing to do all day, and often asked me for pocket money, spending all my hard-earned money.
The daughter-in-law, called Aunt Wang, is a kind person. However, she always indulged her son too much. Whenever I blamed my son, she always stood up to speak for him, which made me feel very helpless. After every fight, she would always come over to comfort me, but I always felt a little wronged in my heart.
I kept telling myself not to worry about them, but to be more tolerant of them. However, the reality is not always satisfactory. Although my pension is not much, it still supports the daily expenses of our family. However, my son will always have a variety of expenses, from extracurricular tutoring to mobile games. Every time he asked me for money, I was always embarrassed because I knew I couldn't get the money, but I couldn't bear to let him suffer because he didn't have money.
Just when I was worried about the expenses of this family, I heard the news. That day, I met my old friend Uncle Wang on the street, and when he saw my sad face, he came over to ask me what had happened. I told him about my troubles, but he smiled and said he had a way to help me.
Uncle Wang's words surprised me a little, and I hurriedly asked him what he could do.
Uncle Wang smiled, patted me on the shoulder and said, "Lao Li, don't worry, I have a small business here, which is quite suitable for you." ”
I asked, "What kind of business?"
Uncle Wang smiled mysteriously and said, "I have an apartment, and there happens to be a vacant one recently, you can consider renting it and renting it out, so that the monthly rent can subsidize your family." ”
When I heard this, my heart suddenly lit up, and I thought it was a good idea. I asked, "Where is the apartment? How much is the rent?"
Uncle Wang told me that the apartment is located in the center of the city, the surrounding environment is very good, and the rent is not too high, about 2,000 yuan per month.
I thought about it and thought it was a good idea, so I agreed. Uncle Wang saw that I agreed, and said with a smile: "That's good, I'll take you to see it tomorrow, and you can start renting it out after signing the contract." ”
The next day, Uncle Wang took me to see the apartment as promised. The apartment is indeed in a good location, the environment is also very good, and the facilities in the room are relatively complete, I am very satisfied. So, I signed a contract with Uncle Wang and decided to start renting.
Since then, I've been going to the apartment every day to clean up and deal with some tenants' issues. Gradually, I got to know some of the tenants. Some of the tenants are young people, and some are migrant workers from other places, and they are polite to me and will take the initiative to ask me to help solve any problems.
Slowly, I found myself feeling a sense of belonging in my apartment, and although I didn't have much for my retirement, I felt like my life was much more fulfilling by renting out my apartment. The monthly rent can indeed relieve the pressure of some families, which makes me feel a lot more balanced.
However, just when I thought everything was going to be smooth sailing, something suddenly happened that made me feel a little heavy in my heart.
It was a normal afternoon, and I was busy cleaning in my apartment when I suddenly received a phone call. An anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Uncle Li, come and see, your apartment is on fire!"
I was startled, quickly asked for the address, quickly picked up the key and ran to the rented apartment. On the way, my mind was in a mess, and I kept praying that the tenants in the apartment were safe.
When I finally got downstairs to the apartment, I saw a group of people already gathered in the doorway, flames rising into the sky, and thick smoke billowing into the sky. My heart tightened, and I quickly rushed in. The fire was so big that I had to keep my head down and squeeze in with the smoke.
Finally in a cloud of smoke, I found my apartment. The doorway was already charred and blackened, and I pushed it open with tears in my eyes.
The scene inside made my heart twist. The room was in shambles, the furniture was burned beyond recognition, the walls were still covered with flames, and the whole room was burned to black.
I anxiously searched around and finally found the room I had rented to a young couple in a corner. They curled up on the bed, terrified, but relieved to see me coming.
I quickly took them out of the fire and to safety. Seeing them get out safely made me breathe a sigh of relief.
However, I always had a question in my mind, what was the fire, was it an accident or was it deliberately arsoned? I had to find out quickly.
I quickly contacted the fire brigade and the police, hoping that they would be able to find out the cause of the fire as soon as possible. After that, I also quickly informed Uncle Wang and told him that there was a fire and the apartment was seriously damaged.
Uncle Wang was very shocked when he heard the news, and he hurriedly rushed to the scene to comfort me while asking for details of the fire.
Firefighters and police soon arrived at the scene, and they began an investigation into the cause of the fire. Uncle Wang and I were also waiting for the results.
After some investigation, the police finally came to the conclusion that the fire was caused by a short circuit caused by aging electrical wiring. When I heard this, I was relieved, at least it wasn't a deliberate arson.
Despite this, the loss of the apartment is still not small, and I look at the room that was burned beyond recognition, and sigh that everything is not easy.
Uncle Wang looked at my depressed mood and comforted: "Lao Li, this is just a temporary accident, don't be too sad, the loss can be made up." ”
I nodded, looked at Uncle Wang gratefully, and made up my mind that I must renovate the apartment and continue to rent it out.
After a few days, I discussed it with Uncle Wang and decided to redecorate the apartment and rent it out again. Uncle Wang expressed his willingness to provide part of the financial support, which made me very grateful.
After a period of hard work, the apartment finally got a new look and I started renting it out again. Although I experienced a fire, I was not discouraged by this, but strengthened my confidence, I believe that as long as I am willing to work hard, there will always be good luck.
After the apartment was re-rented, my life gradually returned to its former peace. The monthly rent is still coming in steadily, and although the pension is not much, I feel that my quality of life is somewhat guaranteed by renting out my apartment.
However, just when I thought everything was going to be smooth sailing, the arrival of a letter broke my peace.
I picked up the letter, opened it, and it read:
"Uncle Li:
I am one of the tenants you rented to us in the apartment, my name is Xiao Zhang. I am writing this letter because I have something very important to tell you.
Recently, I noticed something unusual in my apartment. In the dead of night, I always hear strange noises, as if someone is talking in the room, but I can't hear exactly what is being said. I started to think it was weird, so I decided to sneak a look.
Last night, I took advantage of the sound to sneak up on my neighbor's door and peek around. I saw a young couple arguing in their room with a lot of noise. I was going to knock on the door to ask about the situation, but suddenly I heard their conversation and understood everything.
It turned out that they were deliberately making noise to scare the other tenants into moving out, and then buying the entire building at a low price. Their purpose is obvious, they want to take advantage of this opportunity to make huge profits.
I was very angry and worried about the loss you would lose, so I decided to tell you about it right away. Hopefully, you will be able to take steps to prevent their plot from succeeding.
I wish you all the best.
Your tenant sheet"
After reading this letter, I felt a wave of anger and shock in my heart. I didn't expect my trusted tenant to do such a dastardly thing! I had to take immediate action to prevent their plot from succeeding.
I decided to talk to Uncle Wang first and see if he had any good suggestions. So I quickly contacted Uncle Wang and told him about it.
