"Don't worry." Ning Shuyi told him to calm down, "The matter is now over. No matter what you say, it is impossible to reverse the fait accompli. Let's have a chat and try to solve the problem as soon as possible, so that your life can return as soon as possible. The original track.”
"Yes, yes! The faster you handle it, the less impact it will have on us! Then ask! If you need anything from us, as long as I have the ability, I will definitely cooperate actively!" Upon hearing this, the landlord hurriedly agreed. .
"Who did you rent the house to?" Ning Shuyi asked.
Now that the body is wrapped in thick cement and has not been unearthed, it is even more impossible to determine the identity. We can only first see if we can get some clues from the landlord.
"My house is rented to a mother and son, a eldest sister in her fifties or sixties, and her son, who must be in his early thirties." The landlord immediately replied, "They are the real deal in my house. It can last for five or six years!
I actually didn’t have much dealings with them. The first time I rented a house, I posted an advertisement downstairs. They saw it and called me. My rent was not expensive, so they rented it happily.
As for the rent, I originally deposited one and paid six, or if money was tight and it seemed to be reliable, it was not impossible to discuss it with a deposit of one and three.
But the mother and son were very happy after arriving, saying that they usually didn't like the landlord always going to the house to do things, so they were willing to pay the rent annually.
I definitely can't refuse such a good thing, right? If I collect a year's rent at a time, I can directly deposit it into a regular deposit or something. They don't want me to bother them by running back and forth, and I don't want to bother with that.
So it was very worry-free for me to rent this house to them. I have been living here for several years, but every year I haven't waited for the time. Before I even mentioned it to them, they would transfer the next year's rent to me from the bank.
Just a few days ago, I was chatting with my wife and said that renting a house really depends on fate. Good and worry-free tenants like our mother and son are really rare to find!
You said, this is good! Why is there suddenly a life-threatening lawsuit? It's not as if they were the kind of troublemakers who took away all the things in my house and sold them. At least I spent money to buy another set and my house can still be rented out normally!
It's great now! After this, even I felt very nervous, let alone renting it to others! "
"How many times have you come into contact with mother and son? What do they do?" Huo Yan asked.
The landlord shook his head: "We haven't had any contact with each other a few times. We only met when we rented an apartment. I called her son once. The reason was that her son told me that the bathroom heater at home was broken and he took it down and threw it away. Yes, tell me.
I told him to just throw it away. It was an old thing for many years. Who still uses it now? I said that when I was free for a while, I would buy a new heater and install it for him, but he said no, he bought it and installed it himself.
He was just afraid that I would be unhappy if he didn't say hello to me, dismantled my old things and threw them away, so he told me that he didn't ask me for the money he paid to install the heater himself.
Later, the rent was paid on time, and if something in the house broke and needed to be replaced, we were not expected to take care of anything. I only sent the son a few times on WeChat, all about what was replaced in the house. , please tell me something. "
The landlord smiled bitterly and sighed: "Now I feel that this tenant is too troublesome and it is not good. Now if you want me to provide you with more information about the two of them, I don't even know!"
While Ning Shuyi listened to him, his mind was still spinning a detail that the landlord had just mentioned.
"Did you just say that every year's rent is a remittance from the bank to you by the tenant? Are you sure it is a remittance, not a transfer?" Ning Shuyi waited for the landlord to finish speaking before confirming with him.
Based on the housing rental market in W City, such a medium-sized old house, even if the rent is relatively low due to its geographical location and living environment, no matter how cheap it is, it will still cost 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a year.
Nowadays, electronic payment is so developed that very few people use cash on a daily basis. Whether it is inter-bank transfer or transfer using payment software, it is very convenient. The word "remittance" is rarely heard anymore.
Considering the landlord's age, Ning Shuyi needed to confirm whether his concept of this word was confused with "transfer".
"Yes, it's remittance!" The landlord nodded firmly, "That's right! Every time it's time to pay the rent, it's their son who goes to the bank to handle cash remittance for me!
I thought it was quite strange at first. I said, do you think that I, a person in my fifties, cannot understand the payment software of you young people?
He said no, his mother gave him cash and he had to go to the bank to transfer cash.
I wonder if the eldest sister, who is older than me, is not quick enough to accept new things. She is always worried about people being deceived online, so she has to let her children follow her old ways.
Anyway, my son doesn’t mind the trouble, so what can I say as a collector, right? "
"So from the beginning, there were only two residents here, mother and son, and no one else, right?"
"Yes, they are the mother and son!" The landlord nodded, "When I first rented the house to them, I met them several times.
I heard that the eldest sister's husband died of illness a few years ago, leaving her and her mother alone.
The eldest sister doesn't seem to have much work. She is probably a housewife, taking care of the house and cooking for her son.
My son works outside and seems quite busy. Several times he contacted me to tell me that he had changed something, and when I messaged him back, it took him a while before he could reply to me again, saying that he was busy or something. "
"How is the relationship between mother and son?" Ning Shuyi asked again.
"It's pretty good." The landlord replied without hesitation, but then felt that what he said seemed a bit imprecise, so he quickly changed his words, "I don't know what happened actually. Anyway, when I went to hand over the keys to them, I Personally, I feel that their relationship is quite harmonious.
When the old lady talked about her son, she couldn't stop praising him. She didn't talk much about her son, but the young man was down-to-earth and felt like he was a very responsible and reliable person. "
"Do you have a copy of their ID card on hand?" Huo Yan asked.
The landlord suddenly understood and slapped his thigh: "I just said that when I was rushing from the unit to here, I always felt that I forgot something! Copies of the contract and ID card!"
