Quickly wear a chapter to end

After graduation, the original owner had not found a job and had no money to pay the rent, so he shared a house with a roommate.

My roommate, Lin Hao, is also a pauper who just graduated. Both of them are poor in the same way. Their families are unreliable, so they can only work hard on their own, hoping to settle down in this city.

The original owner was a college graduate. He was usually a quiet person, had no friends, and didn't have a girlfriend.

So after meeting Lin Hao, he discovered that they had a lot in common, and was secretly happy that there was someone in this world who could sympathize with him.

Neither of them was an active person, but living together meant communication, and slowly, the two became more and more compatible and became best friends.

The original owner worked as a security guard in a nearby community, and Lin Hao bought a second-hand electric scooter to deliver food. Thanks to their good relationship, Lin Hao was able to enter the community and deliver food without any obstacles.

Without the original owner's knowledge, Lin Hao stole the battery of an electric bike from an owner in the community and secretly installed it on his own electric bike. Because the surveillance camera could not capture it, the original owner, who was a security guard, had half a month's salary deducted.

He told Lin Hao about this matter. Lin Hao did not feel guilty. He comforted the original owner and allowed him to continue working as a security guard, making things easier for him.

Maybe because he stole someone else’s battery, he was worried that his own battery would also be stolen, so Lin Hao disassembled the battery every day and took it to the rented house to charge it.

Later, the battery suddenly caught fire. The original owner was standing outside the door, but he went in without hesitation to wake up the sleeping Lin Hao. However, after Lin Hao woke up, he ran out of the room and locked the door. The original owner was burned to death.

……

"Hello, my name is Lin Hao. This is my room, and your room is over here. The monthly rent is 1,800 yuan, and water and electricity are not included. We can just split it."

Zhang Shan looked at his room. The room was very small, but fortunately there was a window for ventilation. However, it was nothing compared to Lin Hao's room, so he was naturally unhappy with this plan.

"Your room should be much bigger than mine. I can only give you 500 yuan. As for water and electricity, let's go check the electricity and water meters. We can only calculate it from the time I moved in, and it's shared equally. You paid for everything you used before."

Lin Hao's thick bangs covered his eyes. Zhang Shan couldn't understand his emotions, but she could feel that his breathing was not calm.

"A grown man, but you are so fussy, like a woman."

Zhang Shan didn't admit defeat, "If you don't mind when necessary, then you will pay for the rent, utilities and electricity this month?"

Not stingy, Lin Hao immediately stopped talking.

Zhang Shan moved her luggage in and started cleaning. After making the bed, she went out to find food. When she passed by Xingguang Community, she saw a job announcement.

Xingguang Community is considered to be the community with the best surrounding environment, but the management is also more strict. After Zhang Shan passed the interview, someone came to train her.

"We don't allow takeaways or couriers to come into our community. The owners' couriers and takeaways are all placed in the post station, waiting for the owners to come down and pick them up, or we deliver them to them."

That being said, on Zhang Shan’s first day at work, she saw her colleagues letting the delivery man in.

"Didn't the manager say not to let the delivery guys in?"

"Are you stupid? If the delivery man doesn't deliver the food in, should he let us deliver it in?"

Zhang Shan nodded as if she understood, but she gradually got used to it.

Until she saw Lin Hao.

"So you're a security guard here? They're all acquaintances. I'm just delivering a takeaway and coming out."

Before Zhang Shan could react, her colleague had already opened the door.

"Wouldn't it be a bad idea for us to do this? What if they are dishonest and steal the owner's things..."

"We are watching here, what can he steal? My eyes are my ruler, don't meddle in other people's business."

Zhang Shan thought, someone rode an electric scooter in and changed the battery, how would you know?

Lin Hao's second-hand electric bike often runs out of power, so he gives the dead battery to others. Naturally, they have to replace the battery. Wouldn't that give him away?

The job of a security guard is not tiring. All he has to do is open the door and drink tea. There are special people to deliver the takeaway and express delivery. He gets off work on time. When Zhang Shan got home, she saw Lin Hao repairing an electric bike downstairs.

"Zhang Shan, can you repair an electric bike? I just started using it for a while and it stopped moving. Is there something wrong?"

"The battery is broken."

"How is that possible? I just bought this car."

“Then it’s not a new car.”

"How come it's not a new car? The guy before me said it, he bought this car and parked it in the hallway a few days after using it. Look, it's obviously a new car."

"Even if it's a new car, if it's been idle for more than half a year, the battery will run out of power and eventually break down."

"Really?"

"You can go to a repair shop."

Lin Hao naturally didn't believe what Zhang Shan said, and pushed the car to the repair shop. Zhang Shan returned to her room, washed up, and lay on the bed playing with her mobile phone. She was penniless now, and looking at the red stock market, her first feeling was like a eunuch visiting a brothel.

Wait a minute, you will have money once you get your salary.

Fortunately, there was still food in the space, so he wouldn't starve to death.

Just after finishing a plate of fried rice, I saw a call from the original owner’s mother.

"Zhang Shan, what are you busy with? Are you off work?"

"There's nothing to do. I haven't found a job yet. Why don't I go home and farm?" Zhang Shan took a sip of water and said lightly.

Zhang's mother gave birth to three sons and one daughter, and she could not afford to raise them herself, so she gave the original owner to her uncle, who was a disabled person and raised the original owner by picking up garbage.

But good people don't live long. The original owner's uncle passed away when he was in his third year of high school. Zhang's mother called the original owner back home, but there was no room for him at home, and he had to depend on his two brothers for meals.

Even his married elder sister disliked him. The original owner's grades, which were quite good, plummeted due to family changes and he could only go to a junior college.

This college was paid for by his adoptive father with the money he saved.

Zhang's mother wanted the money, but the original owner didn't give it to her. She always knew that they were her relatives, but they were not nice to her, so she was not disappointed.

Today, Zhang's mother is cultivating her adoptive father's land, and her two elder brothers are also planning to occupy her adoptive father's homestead. Naturally, they don't want Zhang Shan to go back.

"You are a college student. If you go home to farm, people will laugh at you. Find a job and don't come back.

In the past, people all had good jobs after graduating from college, so why is it not the case for you?

This is so useless. I went to college for nothing. If I had known this would happen, I would have used the money to buy a car for your elder brother. With a car, your elder brother would have been married a long time ago..."

While trimming her nails, Zhang Shan listened to her mother's nagging. Her words showed her dislike for this son and her love for her two sons. No wonder the original owner was so taciturn.

Who would feel comfortable after hearing this too much?

Zhang's mother talked a lot, and finally got to the point, "Do you have any money left? Transfer a few hundred yuan to mom to buy fertilizer. If it weren't for your uncle's land, I wouldn't have to work so hard. Who am I working so hard for? You don't think of my kindness at all..."

Zhang Shan continued to polish her nails until they were smooth. She has obsessive-compulsive disorder and cannot leave any nails uncut.

"Second Aunt, you work so hard, why don't you stop planting? I'll rent the land to the village to plant fruit trees, and you won't have to work so hard."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Can we take the land back after giving it to them? Besides, we should plant fruit trees on this good land, be careful not to spoil them."

It seemed that this touched Zhang's mother's sore spot, and her tone became even worse.

"I'm just worried that you're tired, Second Aunt. Also, I don't have money in my pocket and can't afford fertilizer. I'll go talk to the Party Secretary and ask him to help with the planning."

"No, I won't let you take such good land. What do you know? Those village officials are all liars..."

What followed was a ten-minute-long stretch. Zhang Shan even trimmed her toenails and applied nail polish.

Zhang Shan was not in a hurry to hang up the phone. After all, it was not her phone bill that was being used, so she just waited for her mother to finish nagging.

After venting her dissatisfaction, Zhang's mother realized that she had been talking for so long. How much phone bill did this cost?

"Why didn't you remind me that my phone bill is in arrears? As expected, if you don't keep someone by your side, you don't love them!"

Only after reaching the final conclusion did Zhang's mother hang up the phone.

At this time, the door was opened and Lin Hao came back in a bad mood, cursing, and the target seemed to be the customer who sold the electric car to him.

Zhang Shan acted as if she didn't hear anything and continued playing with her phone and watching short videos. When she heard the tinkling sounds in the living room, Zhang Shan silently put on her headphones.

Before she knew it, Zhang Shan fell asleep and slept until dawn, while Lin Hao had already gone to deliver the takeaway.

Because the electric bike was broken, Lin Hao could only take orders from nearby places.

There were still a lot of people ordering takeout in the morning, so Zhang Shan let a lot of riders in.

Lin Hao came in on an electric scooter with a dead battery. He didn't look very happy because the porridge ordered by the customer was spilled. He went back to get a new bowl, but the time limit was exceeded and he received a bad review from the previous customer. Now the next customer could urge him to place another order.

So, when he walked in, he didn't even say hello.

Zhang Shan reached out her hand to ask him to come over to register, but he yelled at her.

Half an hour later, Lin Hao came out. The electric bike seemed to be fully charged and was driving exceptionally fast.

When he came in front of Zhang Shan, he snorted coldly.

"It's just a watchdog, why are you so proud? You're not the owner, ugh!"

Zhang Shan turned to look at the other two colleagues, "He said you are dogs."

The other two colleagues also had good eyesight and remembered Lin Hao's appearance deeply in their hearts, "Don't let this kid in next time."

Zhang Shan and the others nodded in agreement.

After Zhang Shan finished her last bun, she considerately helped several colleagues throw away the garbage.

Once you get out the door, head inside.

This residential complex is not very new, there is no separation between pedestrians and vehicles, and there is no basement. All vehicles are parked in the parking spaces downstairs. Zhang Shan quickly found the car in the corner where Lin Hao had stolen and replaced the battery.

Zhang Shan had a similar electric car in his space, so he dismantled it and replaced the battery with the one he had just put. Lin Hao's battery was also put into his space.

After all, it was half a month's salary, so Zhang Shan couldn't afford to be careless.

Today is Friday, and students are on holiday from school. Vehicles are coming and going. There is the best primary school in the city here, so the traffic is particularly heavy. There is a traffic jam outside, and the cars inside cannot get out.

Fortunately, Zhang Shan was working the day shift, and someone came to take over after six o'clock.

Zhang Shan worked diligently and was liked by her colleagues and leaders. She was soon transferred to the night shift, which paid the highest salary.

Therefore, he and Lin Hao staggered their working hours, and the two might not meet each other for half a month.

Because it was not Zhang Shan's shift, Lin Hao was left outside the community gate and received bad reviews from customers. He couldn't find Zhang Shan to blame. When he wanted to argue with her, Zhang Shan was at work. When she went up the mountain to rest, he was running errands.

The original owner's death was getting closer. Since she found Lin Hao charging the battery in the living room, Zhang Shan said it once. Although Lin Hao was very unhappy, he did not leave the battery in the living room to charge.

On this day, when Zhang Shan was handing over her shift, she put laxatives in the water bottle of an old colleague with whom she had the "best" relationship and the most seniority.

So after he worked the night shift, his old colleague asked him for help to take over the day shift.

He could only stand guard with dark circles under his eyes.

In the rented house, Lin Hao was very tired after a busy day. He fell asleep on the bed without even changing his clothes.

The battery he placed in the room to charge made a crackling sound, accompanied by sparks.

Sudden.

The battery exploded with a bang!

Lin Hao only felt dizzy, and then his body was burned.

"Ah!!! Help!!"

"Help! Someone, please save me!"

The fire was so fierce that it had engulfed Lin Hao. His screams and cries for help could still be heard across the corridor.

Just like the original owner, when the original owner asked for help, Lin Hao chose to lock the original owner inside, and the original owner's shrill voice filled the entire building.

By the time other residents arrived, Lin Hao was no longer able to make any sound.

Zhang Shan was lying on the table to rest. Bursts of flashing red and blue light shone on Zhang Shan's face, but she showed no signs of waking up. Instead, she slept very soundly.

"Wake up, even though you are on duty for Old Li, you can't just lie there all the time. Go wash your face and refresh yourself."

Zhang Shan rubbed her eyes. She had only rested for half an hour, but it felt like she had slept for three days and three nights. Now she was very energetic and full of energy. She could even play tug-of-war with a bull.

When he came back from the bathroom, he heard two old colleagues gossiping.

"Uncles, what are you talking about? What fire?"

The old colleague who was in the best spirits pulled Zhang Shan aside and told her about the fire this morning again.

The more Zhang Shan listened, the more frightened she became.

"Lao Lin, Xiao Zhang seems to live over there!"

Zhang Shan's face turned pale.

"This really can't be where you live, right? Oh, let's go check it out."

Zhang Shan thanked her and ran back to her rented apartment.

As soon as I got downstairs, I saw the cordon and Lin Hao's body had been carried away.

"Landlady, what's going on?"

"Oh~ The police are notified, the body...ah, another tenant has been found!" The landlady pulled Zhang Shan towards the police.

Then, Zhang Shan was taken to the police station in confusion.

But his daily routine was easy to check, and there were witnesses. He was lucky on the morning of the incident so he was not implicated and was released after questioning.

The cause of the fire was the battery. There is no problem with normal charging and discharging of the battery, but after it was removed, it was charged directly without any protection, which is actually very dangerous.

Lin Hao's parents arrived soon, but the body had already been burned to ashes, making it difficult to even do a paternity test.

Lin's father and mother are not easy to deal with. They want the landlord and Zhang Shan to compensate, but the landlord and Zhang Shan are not fools. Zhang Shan's tattered clothes are worthless, but the landlord's house is valuable.

The landlord demanded that Lin's father and mother pay compensation, but the two of them just shut up.

Afterwards, the police investigated Lin Hao’s battery and found it in Xingguang Community. However, after dismantling all the electric vehicles in the community, they still couldn’t find the “culprit” and the case was eventually left unresolved.

There was no money to take, so Lin's father and mother didn't even take Lin Hao's body away. They just waved goodbye and left.

Lin Hao is the adopted son of Lin's father and mother. Ever since they had their biological son, they have ignored Lin Hao. If it weren't for the money, they wouldn't come.

Zhang Shan’s ID card and other documents were burned, and it will take some time to get a new one, which is quite troublesome.

But trouble is better than losing your life!

Half a month later, Zhang Shan received her salary and a new ID card, and made a fortune in the stock market.

In less than half a year, Zhang Shan quit her job, changed her identity and disappeared.

Zhang's mother called Zhang Shan again to ask for money, but found that the call was not connected.

"This unfilial son!"
