Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 9 The Rental House Was Occupied

Xu Yan is still too young and naive. Lu Yun and Wang Qiang are too calculating and driven by self-interest; they're beyond your control.

I stood up and handed him the peeled apple. "They're lucky to have survived! You don't need to blame yourself. Besides, you tried your best to stop them; it was their lack of willpower that made them fail."

"You should rest well first. I'll go check on Yutan. If you need anything in the future, you can come find me at the Phantom Inn across from the Huashi Hotel."

Xu Yan looked up at me and said, "Okay." She was puzzled. How come I didn't know there was a Phantom Inn there?

Yu Tan and Xu Yan lived on the same floor. When I took the fruit basket to Yu Tan's ward, I saw a woman in a business suit taking care of Yu Tan. Was she his wife?

Regardless of whether it's true or not, we shouldn't gossip. "Brother Yutan, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling better?"

"Oh! Chuyue, it's so good to know you're alright."

Yu Tan was also very surprised to see me. He excitedly stood up, which aggravated his wounds. "Ouch! It hurts..." His hand unconsciously reached for the injured spot, but Xin Yi, who was quick-witted and agile, slapped it away.

"You just applied the medicine, and now you're moving your hands around again," Xin Yi said, pretending to be angry.

"I won't move, I won't move," Yu Tan immediately grabbed his wife's hand and admitted his mistake, his attitude sincere.

Was it something I should have watched when Yu Tan was being scolded by his wife?

A blush crept onto his cheeks, and he looked a little embarrassed. Before explaining to his wife, he glanced at me and said, "I'm just so happy! I forgot I was injured! I was able to come back safely this time thanks to that girl, Yuechu. She really helped me a lot."

After listening to what Yu Tan said, Xin Yi walked up to me, took my hand, and said gratefully, "Sister Yuechu, I'm so grateful to you for making sure Lao Tan comes back safely this time. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to go on living if something had happened to Lao Tan." After saying that, she bowed to me, and I immediately put down the fruit basket and went forward to help her up.

If I accept this bow, wouldn't that shorten my lifespan? "Sister-in-law, don't say that. Brother Yutan has helped me a lot. It's only right."

Immediately, I picked up the fruit that was on the ground and handed it to Xinyi, saying, "I bought some fruit for Brother Yutan. I hope Brother Yutan recovers soon."

"Thank you for spending so much, Sister Yuechu! When Lao Tan is discharged from the hospital, we'll host a banquet, and you must come for a simple meal."

Unable to refuse his earnest request, she said, "Okay, then you go ahead with your work, I have something to do and I'll head back later!"

After exchanging pleasantries, I hurried home. This kind of interpersonal communication is really stumping me, a mere immortal herb who only knows how to cultivate!

After I left, Xinyi chatted with Yutan, "This girl is not only beautiful and intelligent, but also very capable. She's a truly talented person."

"Yes! Honey, let me tell you, don't let Yuechu's cold demeanor fool you, she's incredibly kind. She even saved Wang Qiang..."

Back in my rented room, I was about to sit down when I realized all my things were gone! Although it wasn't much, but…

And there was a bulge on the bed. I immediately ran to the door to check the room number 011. That's right! This is my rented room.

A knock sounded at the door. Who could it be? Can't you just let me sleep in peace?

"Open the door, I know you're in there, bang bang." I had to find out how he got into my room.

He opened the door amidst the urgent and persistent knocking. He was wearing a floral shirt and ripped jeans, had red hair, and a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

He looked at me with disdain. "Is there something you need?"

My eyes were deep and serious as I said, "This is my rented room. What are you doing in there?"

The man looked me up and down, and said in a flirtatious tone, "You say this rented room is yours, so it's yours? If you want to come in, you can, little sister, you're quite pretty." I thought to myself, where did this beauty come from? So hot and sexy, and with a temper.

In an instant, the landlady, Sister Wang, came up, still with her loud voice, "What are you all arguing about here? Don't you want to stay here anymore?" The landlady was wearing a floral pajama set, with big wavy hair, and holding a fashion magazine in her hand.

I can't let anyone notice anything unusual about me. The house isn't soundproof, so I can ask the landlord if he comes. "Sister Wang, why are my luggage outside?"

Is this guy trying to stay for free? He's pretending not to know what's going on. Sister Wang glared at me and said, "Didn't I tell you last night? You haven't paid rent, and I've already put your luggage at the door! Move out right now."

I then remembered that I had mentioned paying rent last night. Feeling embarrassed, I kept a straight face and said, "Couldn't you have told me before throwing my luggage out?"

"This is my house, I have the right to make decisions, move out right now."

Looking at the luggage piled up against the wall, I felt for the first time what it was like to be driven away.

"I can leave on my own, you don't need to rush me. I advise Sister Wang to be kinder, heaven is watching what people do." I already wanted to leave, but I never expected to leave in this way. I must be the most tragic Xiancao!

Sister Wang must have done this kind of thing a lot before, she looked completely matter-of-fact. I know paying rent is a matter of course, but it's wrong to leave tenants' things at the door without their consent.

I can't interfere casually; she will have her own karma and reincarnation.

Luckily, I still have the Phantom Inn, otherwise I would really be homeless!

I teleported back to the Phantom Inn with my belongings, and looked at the long-abandoned inn, feeling nothing. After all, it was a home. I used my magic to quickly clean it.

In an instant, everything was transformed. Turning on the room lights, I realized there's no place like home that you clean yourself.

The next morning, I stood on the balcony and stretched.

A knocking sound rang out. Hmm! Who's knocking on my inn's door so early in the morning instead of sleeping?

Upon opening the door, Xu Yanghui stared intently at the stunningly beautiful Huan Yuechu. It took him a while to realize that staring at someone was impolite.

He pretended to pick up a notebook, his face flushed, and said, "Hello, Ms. Huan Yuechu, I am a staff member of the power grid. We have detected that your electricity consumption is fluctuating too much. We need you to pay the electricity bill for the past year, which is 40,000 yuan in total. Otherwise, we will take measures to cut off the power."

I stood frozen at the door, my face filled with disbelief, staring at the worker in the electric grid uniform. I thought to myself, "What? He hasn't paid his electricity bill for a year! He's been owing me all this time, waiting for me, huh?! I knew this mysterious person wouldn't be so kind."

I'm so annoyed! I frowned and said, "Isn't the electricity bill paid monthly? Why are you only collecting it now?"

Xu Yanghui looked at the beautiful woman and was genuinely confused. He patiently explained, "Residents here usually pay their bills once a year. We checked the property certificate and found that you are the new owner. As for the high electricity usage, you'll need to investigate that."

Without money, one is destined to be a wanderer again! "Wait a moment, I'll get you the money."

After entering the room, I needed to find out what was going on, so I tapped the Seven Emotions Bracelet and said, "Seven Emotions, you'd better give me an explanation."
