Chapter 32: Assessing the Damage with a Lantern

The moving company arrived at 9 a.m. the next day as agreed. The items had been packed up the night before and all that was needed was to load them onto the truck.

"Hey, thank goodness I got here early, or you guys would have run away."

Just then, an elderly woman wearing loose pajamas and slippers, holding a palm-leaf fan, walked over.

The woman was quite overweight and had several curls on her head.

Of course, today I'm not only wearing a curling iron, but also a spotlight.

Looking behind the overweight woman, there was a middle-aged man with a slender build.

That must be her husband.

He was holding paper and a pen, and had a larger flashlight slung over his shoulder.

This is the landlady Liu Hongmei and her husband.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Feng reacted in almost a second.

This is?

Damage assessment using a lantern?

Li Zhinian saw this scene but was completely baffled.

"Aunt Liu, what are you doing with a light on your head in broad daylight?"

Before Liu Hongmei could speak, Xiao Feng said first, "They must have just come back from robbing a tomb."

Upon hearing this, Liu Hongmei's voice suddenly became even louder, and she looked fierce.

"What tomb raiding? We're here to check the wear and tear on this house during your stay."

"Let me make this clear in advance: if there is any damage or wear and tear, there will be a wear and tear fee."

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Hongmei scanned the room with a scrutinizing gaze... and even looked at the ceiling...

Sure enough, that's exactly how it is.

In fact, this kind of thing happens all the time; for most people, the first lesson they learn when they enter the workforce is renting a place.

However, the internet is not very developed now, so even if something like this happens, it is difficult for it to be reported.

That's why many unscrupulous landlords do this, since the next tenant won't know what happened to the previous tenant anyway.

In my memory, there was a news report in my previous life about the damage assessment of lanterns. Not to mention the ceiling, even scratches on the bed board were charged. At that time, the landlord asked for more than 10000 yuan in damage fees, and the tenant had no choice but to call the police.

In the end… even after reporting it to the police, they only got a 4% discount, and still paid 4000.

As a result, this kind of thing happens frequently.

Unless you find a good landlord, you might learn another lesson in life: renting!

Of course, the person Xiao Feng is currently encountering needs no further explanation.

Faced with Liu Hongmei's actions, Li Zhinian almost lost his temper on the spot.

"This is completely unreasonable! How could there be no wear and tear during normal living? Isn't this an unfair contract clause?"

Liu Hongmei, with a slightly sharp tongue, said: "It's clearly stated in the contract that if the tenant damages any items in the room during their stay, they must compensate for the damage at the original price."

"You call yourself a college student? The word 'damage' needs to be broken down. 'Damage' means wear and tear, understand? Even if you call the police, it won't do you any good."

Just as Li Zhinian was about to speak again, Xiao Feng stopped her, saying, "Don't say anything, leave it to me, I'll handle it."

Faced with such an unfair contract, Xiao Feng would definitely not be polite.

Wherever the eye can see.

At this moment, Liu Hongmei and her husband have begun a meticulous examination.

Liu Hongmei, with her headlamp on, first checked the doorknob.

"There are scratches on the door handle. Write that down and add 100."

"The toilet shows signs of multiple uses; add 200 for wear and tear."

"And here too." Liu Hongmei took a brush and gently brushed the table. "This has scratches too, add another 200."

This scene... is so detailed... it really does look a bit like tomb raiding.

Xiao Feng, however, remained calm and unhurried. He picked up a bottle of cola, crossed his legs, and sat on the sofa, leisurely watching the scene unfold.

It was like watching a play.

I found it quite interesting.

Li Zhinian, however, was worried and somewhat nervous.

Especially when they hear Liu Hongmei add 100+200, they shout it as if it's free.

"Xiao Feng." Li Zhinian gently tugged at Xiao Feng's sleeve, muttering softly, "This is too much! Look at them, they even charge for the wear and tear on the toilet. Am I supposed to poop in a plastic bag all the time?"

When couples have been together for a long time, they can whisper all sorts of secrets to each other...

"Haha." Xiao Feng gently pinched Li Zhinian's cheek, his expression nonchalant: "I told you, you can rest assured."

A short while later.

Liu Hongmei and her husband were exhausted and covered in sweat, but they had finally finished the examination.

Looking at the wear and tear written on the paper, he frantically added more on the calculator, and a satisfied smile gradually appeared on his lips.

Liu Hongmei held the calculated numbers.

"First of all, the remaining 22 days' rent will not be refunded, nor will the two months' deposit. This was already agreed upon yesterday."

"Furthermore, since you terminated the lease early, according to the contract, you also need to pay me two months' worth of penalty fees, totaling 2000."

"Secondly, during your stay, you caused some wear and tear to the facilities and items in the house. I just calculated that it totaled 6500. Including the 2000 yuan rent compensation, it is now 8500 yuan."

"In addition, there's the lost wages for my husband and me. After all, we've been busy all day, so we should get an extra 300."

"The total comes to 8800 yuan, but considering you are college students and it's not easy for you, I'll give you a discount for good luck, so it'll be 8888 yuan in total."

"Just give me another 8888 yuan."

God the hell, make it cheaper.

On the contrary, there were 88 more.

Just for good luck.

Sure enough, there's no limit to how outrageous things can get.

As Liu Hongmei spoke, the words above her head appeared randomly.

Xiao Feng seems to have discovered the pattern.

The entry will be triggered as long as the other party communicates with you in a positive manner.

[Keywords: Liu Hongmei incurred gambling debts while playing mahjong and has been considering selling her house, but is hesitant due to the low price.]

This entry is similar to the information Xiao Feng remembers.

Because in her memory, even if Xiao Feng didn't move out, Liu Hongmei would still put the house up for sale a month later.

However, in her previous life, Liu Hongmei ultimately failed to reach an agreement on the price. Instead, she ended up receiving over 100 million yuan in compensation for the demolition.

It seems to be a total of 112 million.

Ironically, her initial asking price was 12 yuan, which was just a fraction of the demolition compensation.

It was precisely because Xiao Feng remembered this incident that he remained fearless and had already devised a countermeasure.

The entry at this moment was simply to help Xiao Feng deepen his impression.

This is the benefit of a double buff.

If Xiao Feng can't remember or doesn't know, then the power of the entry will be revealed.

If you can remember them, the entries will help deepen your impression and reveal more details.

"No need to calculate." Xiao Feng slowly stood up. "How much is this house? I'll buy it!"

Upon hearing that Xiao Feng intended to buy the room, Liu Hongmei's eyes lit up.

His usually harsh face... surprisingly managed to force a smile.

"You want to buy it?"

"Yes," Xiao Feng repeated, "How much? I'll buy it!"

Liu Hongmei's eyes darted around, and her offer was naturally inflated: "20!"

"Never mind then!"

"???"
