Chapter 174 Rental Dispute
The house rented by fourth sister Jiang Niandi is in the northern suburbs, so it is not far from Jiang Duoduo's Sunset Villa.
She drove there in half an hour.
By the time she parked the car and ran to the second floor of a building in Lanyuewan Community, many residents of the community had already gathered on the first floor.
"They definitely won't let people stay in confinement after childbirth in a rented house. It's normal for Sister Wu to ask them to move out!"
"It's not easy for that woman to give birth and recuperate alone. Now they suddenly ask her to move. Where is she going to live?"
"How do you know this tenant is a mother and a child? Doesn't she have a husband?"
"I live downstairs from her! Every time, there's a nanny out buying groceries, and occasionally her mother comes over. I haven't even seen the man. What else can you say if this isn't a single mother?"
"Oh my... Girls are open now..."
"Please give way!"
Jiang Duoduo quickly squeezed through the crowd of onlookers and hurried to the second floor.
As soon as she came in, Jiang Duoduo saw her fourth sister sitting on the ground at the door and unable to get up. Aunt Liao was holding the crying baby and trying to pull her up with one hand.
"Nian Di! Don't sit on such a cold floor. You'll get postpartum sickness later."
"It's no use making a scene like this. I didn't rent the house to you. The person who signed the lease with you is just one of my tenants. I really didn't expect that she would actually sublet my house to a pregnant woman. If my neighbor hadn't told me, I would have been in big trouble."
"We've left your things at your door, and we'll refund your rent! Just find somewhere else to live!"
"Hurry up and leave! Do you think you look good if you keep making a fuss at my door like this and refuse to leave?"
Two women and one man blocked the door and refused to let Jiang Niandi in no matter what.
"I paid the rent and signed the contract. Why won't you let me live here? I won't leave. If you have the guts, call the police to drag me away. I want the police to judge for me. Why won't you let me live here even though I paid the rent?"
Jiang Niandi's face turned pale and her eyes were red with anger. She sat on the ground at the door and argued with the landlord and others without caring about her image.
Aunt Liao couldn't pull her up, so she could only hold the baby and coax her.
"Fourth sister! Hurry up and get up. The ground is so cold. Let's get up and talk it over."
Jiang Duoduo quickly helped her fourth sister Jiang Niandi up from the ground.
"Duoduo, you're finally here! I couldn't persuade your fourth sister no matter what I did. She's still in confinement after giving birth. It's really harmful to her health to cry and sit on the ground like this."
Aunt Liao finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Jiang Duoduo coming.
“Duoduo…”
Jiang Niandi had a complicated expression. She always let Jiang Duoduo see her in such a miserable state.
"Fourth sister, please stop crying, it's hurting your body. I'll talk to them about this for you."
Jiang Duoduo wiped the tears of her fourth sister Jiang Niandi with her hands, telling her not to get excited, and then walked up to the three landlords.
"I'm the landlord of this house. Everyone calls me Sister Wu. You're her sister, right? Take your sister away immediately. We're not unreasonable. We'll refund the rent!"
The middle-aged woman standing in the front who called herself Sister Wu spoke to Jiang Duoduo.
"I don't want to cancel my rent. Why can't I live here when my lease hasn't expired yet?"
Jiang Niandi walked over from behind Jiang Duoduo and said loudly.
She didn't want to move, and finding a place on short notice was impossible. She also knew that many landlords were unwilling to rent their homes to someone who was confinement after childbirth.
Jiang Nian Di thought that the last time she came to see the house while pregnant, the man did not tell her where she would stay after giving birth, so she thought the landlord tacitly agreed to this.
Who would have known that person wasn’t the landlord!
"Why can't you explain this to me? That person wasn't the landlord at all. She wanted to move out but she still had three months of rent due. She knew she couldn't refund the full rent to me, so she just found a random tenant."
"Anyway, we were both fooled by that person. But now neither you nor I can contact her, so we can only solve the problem ourselves. I will definitely not rent my house to anyone else for my confinement."
"Even if you want to check out, you should sit down and discuss it with my fourth sister. It's unreasonable for you to just move her things to the door and not let her in in such a cold weather!"
Jiang Duoduo saw that Sister Wu was quite polite in her words. After hearing what she said, she realized that it was indeed the sub-landlord who had deceived them and their fourth sister, so it was reasonable for them to ask to check out.
But they asked everyone to sit down and talk it out when they checked out. It was really inhumane to let a woman who had just given birth freeze at the door in such a cold day and move all her things to the door.
"The little girl looks kind, and I won't hide it from you. When we rent a house here, we can't let others spend their confinement period there, otherwise it will bring bad luck."
"Your sister is pregnant, we definitely can't let her into the house. We can't contact your sister either, and the whole family has been here for a few days now. It's not easy for us either, we all took leave to come here and watch over her."
"Sister Wu, it's not easy for you. We have our difficulties too. Let me discuss this with my fourth sister."
Seeing that there was no turning back, Jiang Duoduo thought about refunding more rent to her fourth sister and then taking her back to Jingsheng Jiayuan quickly.
So she took her fourth sister Jiang Niandi and walked towards the corridor, and Aunt Liao followed with the baby in her arms.
"Fourth sister, I took a quick look at your contract last time. It was just a random piece of handwritten paper saying she collected three months' rent from you, and the signature wasn't the name of the landlord, Sister Wu."
"If things really get out of hand, you can only argue with the person who rented the apartment to you. But that person is nowhere to be found now, and there's no point in wasting time here. Your health is more important."
"My idea is, I'll talk to Sister Wu and ask her to refund three months' rent and compensate you for one month, and then we can go home and live together, okay?"
Jiang Duoduo discussed with Jiang Niandi in a soft voice.
"Yes, Nian Di, Duo Duo is right. Your health is more important. There are also children, and they can't stay at the door in the wind all the time."
Aunt Liao interjected at the right moment.
She has become a good sister with Chen Shuyue during this period, so she really cares about Jiang Niandi.
"No, Duoduo, I can't live in your house. Since everyone is taboo about these things, I can't live in your place either."
In fact, Jiang Niandi still cares about her sister Jiang Duoduo. Although she is sometimes jealous of her and can't stand her rich behavior, she doesn't want to bring bad luck to her!
"Fourth sister, what are you talking about? I don't believe this. Besides, it's our house and yours too. Why can't we live there?"
Jiang Duoduo continued to persuade her fourth sister.
Aunt Liao was moved as she listened to this. She felt that Jiang Duoduo was a very responsible child.
Most people, even if they are sisters, really don’t want her to come to take care of her during the confinement period.
