Chapter 47 47 [Send Buddha to the West]
Xiang Nan helped Peggy move.
So lucky to enter her "boudoir".
After entering, he was taken aback.
I saw that the house was very dilapidated. The walls were not white, but gray, yellow, and there were some dark brown spots. I didn't know if it was blood.
The floor was also worn so that the texture could not be seen, and the gaps were full of dirt. There was a musty smell in the house, which was hard to dispel even with the windows open.
And there is almost no decent furniture and electrical appliances in the room. There is only one bed, one table, one chair, and one computer.
No sofa, no wardrobe, no dining table, no TV, no air conditioner, no oven, no microwave, no dishwasher...
This is the first time Xiang Nan has seen such a shabby house. To be honest, the conditions are worse than the attic where he lived before.
However, he can still see that Peggy is very careful in maintaining this small family.
He noticed that there was almost no debris in the room except for the old dirt that could not be cleaned.
Moreover, there are several potted flowers on the table. The flowerpots are made of old glass jars, and there are prickly pears, gorse, bougainvillea, etc. in them, and they are all well maintained.
"Peggy, which luggage is yours?" Xiang Nan asked Peggy with a smile.
"These books, this suitcase, this computer, and these potted flowers are mine." Peggy tidied up briefly.
Xiang Nan nodded.
Her other luggage is really not much, basically no furniture, electrical appliances and so on. Only the books were piled high and piled up by the bedside, which looked rather spectacular.
The two then climbed the stairs back and forth to move books, hundreds of books, and moved five times before they were done.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan is currently exercising, and his physical condition is much better than before. Otherwise, if you were replaced by the previous Raj, you would be tired and throw up after moving twice.
…
After moving the luggage, Xiang Nan took Peggy to the landlord to ask for the deposit and the key back.
Peggy's landlord is a middle-aged man from Bolivia. He looks fierce, and the eyes that look at Peggy are full of aggression.
The landlord was very unhappy when he learned that she was moving out.
He saw that Peggy lived alone and she was so beautiful, so he wanted to take advantage of her.
But unexpectedly, Peggy was about to move out before he could take any action.
Let him fight like chicken and egg, really not reconciled.
Although Peggy wanted to leave, he couldn't stop her. But he still wanted to find an excuse not to refund the deposit.
Although the deposit is only five hundred dollars, it is a lot of money for him and Peggy.
"I cherish this house very much. I didn't cause any damage. You have no right to withhold my deposit." Seeing him making excuses for not returning the deposit, Peggy said angrily.
"Then you can find a lawyer and sue me. If the magistrate judges me to lose, then I will refund your deposit." The landlord laughed.
Seeing him being so shameless, Peggy couldn't help but her eyes turned red with anger.
The cheapest lawyer in the United States, and the lawyer's fee is not cheap. It is very normal for a lawsuit to cost hundreds of dollars. At that time, the deposit back may not be enough to pay the lawyer's fees.
Therefore, facing this situation, many tenants often choose to give up and ask for the deposit back.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan couldn't help but stepped forward. He took out his wallet and took out a lawyer's certificate.
"I'm Miss Swanson's friend and a practicing lawyer. Do you really want me to sue you for five hundred dollars?" he asked.
He carefully looked at the documents in Xiang Nan's hand, then turned around unwillingly and went back to the house, took 500 dollars and handed it to Peggy.
"It's cheap for you this time, get the **** out of here." He slammed on the doorway angrily.
…
Peggy got her deposit back, overjoyed.
"Thank you, Raj, you helped me a lot." She said gratefully.
"You're welcome, just get the money back." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "Let's get out of here now."
"Okay." Peggy nodded, "By the way, which school did you study law in?"
"I've never studied law." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled.
"Then your lawyer's certificate is..." Peggy asked in surprise when she heard this.
"My own PS." Xiang Nan explained with a smile.
When he was hanging out with Howard, Howard used to pretend to be a lawyer in order to increase the success rate of picking up girls. In order to enhance his credibility, he also specially produced a lawyer's certificate.
It's a pity that their routine has never been successful. Today, however, the accident came in handy.
After listening to Xiang Nan's explanation, Peggy couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.
I didn't expect Xiang Nan, who looks handsome, talented, calm and generous, to have such an absurd history.
"Actually, your conditions are very good. How come no girls like you?" Peggy said regretfully again.
Xiang Nan is young, handsome, talented, gentle and considerate. He is a very good boy, but no girl appreciates him. She feels aggrieved for him.
"Actually, you don't know. Before that, I suffered from severe selective mutism. I couldn't speak a word when I met a girl." Xiang Nan explained, "It wasn't until recently that this problem was cured."
"I see." Peggy suddenly said, "Then you were really pitiful before."
Xiang Nan has such good conditions, but he can't chat with girls, so that he has been single for more than 20 years, which is really worthy of tears of sympathy.
"It doesn't matter, there are gains and losses." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "It has developed my ability to be good at listening."
Peggy nodded when she heard it.
The ability to listen is very important. The reason why many couples are at odds is because they don't want to listen to each other, so that they communicate less and less, and finally break up.
Xiang Nan has been silent for more than 20 years and has developed a good listening ability. Then he will definitely be a good husband in the future.
"If you have any worries in the future, you can also tell me." Xiang Nan laughed again.
"Yeah." Peggy hesitated, then nodded.
…
"Raj, let me treat you to dinner tonight, thank you for helping me so much." After helping Peggy move, she suggested with a smile.
"OK, what are you going to treat me to?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.
"I cook myself, okay?" Peggy thought for a while.
"Okay." Xiang Nan nodded, "But is there anything to eat at home now?"
"No, but I can go to the supermarket to buy." Peggy shook her head and smiled.
Her new home is also empty now, and there are no decent furniture and appliances.
"OK, I'll take you to buy it." Xiang Nan laughed.
Help people to the end, send Buddha to the West. Peggy is so beautiful, he is willing to help a little bit.
