Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 528: Chapter 556 Despicable Landlord (2nd Update)

Gu Xiaoxian’s mother, Gu Lan, stayed in the hospital for almost ten days, always in a high-end ward, receiving attentive care from the nurses. The director even came by occasionally to inquire about her situation, which made her feel very embarrassed!

So, as soon as she could walk a little, she forcibly discharged herself and went home!

It’s not just about feeling embarrassed being taken care of by others; more importantly, she needs to make money.

Otherwise, what about her son’s living expenses and tuition fees for the next semester?

After being discharged, she limped her way to the factory to prepare for work, unaware that before she even entered, she was stopped at the gate by the familiar security guard, who told her she had been fired!

Well, if she was fired, she was fired. She wasn’t the type of person who couldn’t survive without this factory.

However, before leaving, she had to collect her previous wages, but the security guard said the director instructed that her wages had already been deducted for all those days she missed!

This made her very upset!

She planned to wait until her leg was better to go back to the factory to demand her wages. After all, she had informed the factory beforehand, and the director had assured her she could go to the hospital without worrying about deductions.

Later, she rented a stall at the vegetable market and started selling vegetables from dawn to dusk!

Although the work was tiring, at least it could support the family.

Upon knowing this, Gu Xiaoxian immediately came over to help, as Gu Lan had difficulty walking.

Despite Gu Lan repeatedly urging her to go back to class, Gu Xiaoxian simply wouldn’t listen and stayed to help, saying she would return to school once her mother recovered, and that classes hadn’t started yet.

Unable to change her mind, Gu Lan had no choice but to temporarily agree to let her help!

However, thanks to Gu Xiaoxian’s help, their stall saw a notable improvement in business!

Today, Gu Lan was actually in a good mood, for she had sold quite a lot of vegetables throughout the day!

After subtracting the costs, she had made over a hundred yuan in profit?

But what happened next infuriated her!

The place she was living now was a rented one-bedroom unit. The landlord came to buy vegetables at her stall today.

Things started off well, but after Liu Gong had taken quite a few vegetables, he turned to leave without intending to pay.

Gu Lan initially thought he had forgotten and called out, "Brother Liu, wait a minute, you haven’t paid yet?"

The landlord, Liu Gong, was five or six years older than Gu Lan, short and chubby, with a finger-sized mole below his cheek. The moment you see him, you know he’s not a reasonable person.

He paused for a moment, turned to Gu Lan and the assisting Gu Xiaoxian, and said,

"Taking just a few vegetables, you have the nerve to ask me for money?"

Gu Lan’s face showed a flicker of anger, yet she kindly said, "A few dozen yuan is nothing to Brother Liu, but for us orphaned mother and son, it’s a big deal!"

"Want money, huh?" Liu Gong came back with a stern face, pulled fifty yuan from his wallet, and threw it in Gu Lan’s face, "Is that enough?"

Gu Lan’s face turned cold; she was a person with dignity and angrily retorted, "Do you look down on people? Is money so great?"

"I don’t want your money; take back the vegetables, I won’t sell them to you!"

Other stall owners nearby didn’t like Liu Gong either. He was always picking on them when he came to buy vegetables, acting as if they were inferior and he was superior!

Liu Gong was a person extremely concerned about his reputation. Seeing Gu Lan treat him this way, he turned a dark face and pointed at Gu Lan, shouting,

"Alright, alright, then tonight you can get out of my house, I won’t rent to you anymore!"

Gu Lan’s face showed no kindness, "Do you think I want to rent your broken house? If it weren’t for the cheap rent, I would have moved out long ago!"

"But tonight, we won’t be moving out, nor in the coming days. When the lease is up, we won’t need you to say anything; we’ll move out on our own!"

At that moment, Liu Gong coldly laughed, "Not moving out, then I’ll go back now and throw all your things out, let’s see if you move or not!"

"And don’t think about calling the police, they won’t handle this, not to mention we never signed a contract!"

"So I can tell you to leave anytime and you better leave immediately, I don’t want to say it twice!"

Gu Lan and Gu Xiaoxian’s faces looked extremely upset. They rented this place during Gu Lan’s husband’s time, and there was absolutely no concept of contract then.

Besides, Liu Gong was a ’good friend’ of her husband, only to reveal his true colors completely after her husband’s death.

Moreover, Liu Gong had big ideas about her daughter, wanting her to marry his son!

His son was not only short and fat but also a fool, five or six years older than Gu Xiaoxian.

Of course, she didn’t even need to think about it, she outright refused Liu Gong!

If it weren’t for her family’s poverty, they would have moved out long ago.

For people like them, struggling with poverty, many things in life are unsatisfactory.

Even knowing something is not beneficial, there’s no other choice but to endure silently within the limits of their own pressures!

Of course, there is a limit, when it’s too much, they won’t endure anymore!

By this time, Lin Xi stood on the side, beside Gu Lan and Gu Xiaoxian, as there were many spectators, they hadn’t noticed him.

He understood the situation well.

"Nothing more to say, huh, then hurry up and move out, my house doesn’t welcome you!" Liu Gong said smugly, completely ignoring the people around who pointed fingers at him, even calling him shameless and despicable!

"You..." Gu Lan indeed had nothing to say.

The police have always had difficulty making decisions in disputes like these; this can’t be helped, such matters can neither be considered too big nor too small, but are time-consuming and labor-intensive.

So they usually prefer both parties to reconcile.

Moreover, Gu Lan knew Liu Gong’s wife worked in a relevant department!

"Don’t bully people too much, or be careful of retribution!" Gu Lan said with some helplessness.

This society is just like that, with too many helpless situations!

Liu Gong paid no attention to her words, instead, he mocked, "Retribution, I never believe in such things!"

"Besides, I always act with a clear conscience!"

His words drew booing from the spectators, feeling it was too shameless!

At this time, he glanced at Gu Xiaoxian, showing a hint of satisfaction on his face, and then said again,

"If you can marry your daughter to my son, not only is there no need for rent, but giving you the house is no big deal!"

Saying this, he directly spoke to Gu Xiaoxian, "Xiaoxian, Uncle’s family has at least three houses, a little shop, and a small car!"

"If you marry into the family, you won’t have worries for the rest of your life, nor be as tired as you are now!"
