Chapter 99 Flowers
The original owner was from the countryside. After graduation, he didn't want to go back to the countryside to farm, so he stayed in the city and found a job that paid six or seven thousand yuan a month.
The salary is much higher than that in small counties, but the cost of living is not low either. The rent, water and electricity alone account for one-third of the salary.
The house the original owner rented was only 15 square meters and the soundproofing was not good, so he could hear everything the neighbors did clearly.
There is no privacy at all, and the balconies are connected. The naughty kids next door often run to her balcony and pull out the daffodils she planted. No matter how many times she tells him to do so, it's useless.
When the original owner was at work, the neighbor's old lady held a grudge against the original owner and cut the daffodils that the original owner had carefully raised to make dumplings for her naughty children.
Unexpectedly, the naughty kid got poisoned after eating the daffodil dumplings. Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital in time and saved his life.
The naughty child was not discharged from the hospital, so the old lady and her family took the original owner to court and demanded compensation from the original owner.
The original owner was a college student who had just entered society. He had no money and was burdened with debts.
However, after being blamed by her son and daughter-in-law for not taking good care of her grandson, the old lady became resentful towards the original owner and pushed him down the stairs from behind.
The original owner was not careful and rolled down the stairs, with a big hole in his head and blood oozing out.
The original owner had a problem with fainting when it came to blood. His eyes rolled back and he fainted.
The old lady thought the original owner was dead, and quickly called her son and daughter-in-law for help.
The son and daughter-in-law came and found that the original owner was still alive, but had fainted.
But there was a deep wound on the original owner's face, which was bleeding. The family of three was shocked.
It is impossible to send him to the hospital.
The three were worried that the original owner would wake up and demand huge compensation from them, but they had no money to pay.
So the three of them decided to go all out. They put the original owner into a sack, waited until dark, transported him to the riverside on a tricycle, and threw him into the river.
The original owner died in the river, and she didn’t know what she had done wrong until her death?
Why did they do this to her?
……

"Be good, Dabao. After that little bitch leaves, grandma will cut that big leek and make dumplings for you."
Hearing the sound from next door, Zhang Shan stopped and her eyes fell on the daffodils on the balcony that had not yet bloomed.
Narcissus without flowers does look similar to leeks.
The old lady next door had just moved to the city from the countryside. She had never seen daffodils before and they looked like village leeks.
The ignorant old lady thought that the original owner was lying, and she couldn't bear to see how protective the original owner was of the daffodil.
Zhang Shan put the daffodils into a bag, then closed the door and went downstairs.
When the old lady saw that the daffodils on the balcony were gone, she became even more unhappy and started banging on the balcony to vent her dissatisfaction.
Zhang Shan brought the daffodils to the company and placed them on the balcony near her seat. Then she took out her mobile phone to shop. The original owner had only more than 1,000 yuan in the card, but Zhang Shan didn't even blink and directly placed an order for flower cakes that cost more than 100 yuan a box.
She read the reviews and decided that this flower cake was the most authentic and the most fragrant.
When I returned to the rental house, I heard the crying of the naughty kid next door.
"Grandma, you promised me that you would make me leek and egg dumplings. I want to eat dumplings. I want to eat dumplings!"
"Okay, okay, grandma will make dumplings for you."
Where can she go to make dumplings at this late hour?
Then, Zhang Shan heard a knock on the door.
"Little girl, lend me two handfuls of your chives. I'll go to the market tomorrow and buy some and return them to you."
Zhang Shan didn't answer and let the old lady knock on the door.
"Do you know how to respect the elderly and love the young? You're still a college student, and I've read so much that I've lost my mind!"
"Open the door, open the door for me!"
"Did you hear me? Open the door!"
"Open the door and give me your leeks. My eldest grandson wants to eat them!"
"It's your blessing to give my grandson food. Don't force me, old lady, to smash your door!"
The other residents were already tired from working during the day, and they had to endure the old lady's noise at night. They were so angry, "You damn old woman, shut up right now! I'm going to sleep even if you don't. Be careful or I'll break your legs!"
"Oh, heaven, oh, earth, please open your eyes and see, there is a young man who is disrespecting his elders. Come and strike him to death with lightning..."
The old lady's usual tricks didn't work in front of the man. He took the broom and hit the old lady directly.
"Work is annoying enough, and you dare to provoke me? I'll beat you to death!"
The old lady was so scared that she crawled back home, closed the door, and her face was full of fear.
"Milk……"
"My dear grandson, tomorrow, I will make dumplings for you!"
“I want to eat it today!”
"Be good, don't make trouble. Be careful or that bad guy will kidnap you. You won't be able to see your parents and grandma again."
Finally, the naughty child was frightened by the old lady and stopped crying and ate his meal obediently.
After dinner, the naughty kid ran to Zhang Shan’s balcony again and threw everything on the balcony downstairs. Fortunately, no one was passing by downstairs.
When she woke up in the morning, Zhang Shan found that all the garbage on the balcony had disappeared.
Just as she was about to go out, there was a loud knock on her door. She could tell that the person was very angry.
"What's up?"
"You still dare to ask what's wrong? Did you smash my car?"
Zhang Shan looked down and saw a yellow scooter downstairs with several holes in it.
There are a few yellow bricks next to it, which look very familiar.
"No, I have no grudge against you, why would I smash your car?"
"Who else could it be if not you? The guys in the building opposite saw it. The brick was thrown from your balcony."
"Just because it was thrown from my balcony doesn't mean it was me who did it. The neighbors can use my balcony. You had an argument with them last night, so it's possible that they took the opportunity to retaliate against you."
The old lady had just come to eavesdrop, and now she couldn't sit still any longer. "Shut your filthy mouth, we didn't do anything last night, it was you, little bitch, who framed us."
"I have a surveillance camera installed on my balcony. If you don't believe me, I'll show you."
When she heard about the installation of surveillance cameras, the old lady became even more anxious. She instigated her grandson to throw Zhang Shan's things last night, but she didn't expect that her grandson accidentally smashed the man's car.
"No, you can't look at that!"
The old lady stopped Zhang Shan from checking the surveillance video, but the man was not stupid.
"I just bought a car. If you don't pay me, I'll break your grandson's hands!"
The old lady wanted to struggle, but when she saw the man's fist, she was scared and burst into tears. She wanted to act pitiful, but the man didn't buy it at all.
"Pay, pay, pay now!"
The man quoted a number that was much higher than the price of the car. The old lady did not dare to argue. She went home, took out her coffin book, counted the money three times, and then gave it to the man.
The person spat, "What the hell? If I catch you again next time, it will be more than this price."
Everyone left, Zhang Shan locked the door and went to work.
As he passed by the broken scooter downstairs, the corners of his mouth inadvertently rose.
These two stones were certainly not thrown by a naughty kid. Not to mention whether the naughty kid could lift two three-pound bricks, there was no way the naughty kid could touch the dirt and moss on the bricks.
This is just the beginning.
Just wait, the best is yet to come!
After throwing objects from the air and smashing a scooter, the naughty kid next door behaved well for a few days.
But the old lady treated Zhang Shan with neither eyes nor nose, and the hatred in her eyes could not be hidden at all. Zhang Shan also often heard the old lady spitting at her behind her back.
The flower cakes that Zhang Shan bought arrived very quickly. The taste of the flower cakes was indeed overbearing. Zhang Shan ate them while sitting at the door. The fragrance drifted into the neighboring house, making the naughty kid cry with greed.
"Milk, I want to eat, go get it for me!"
The old lady came out with a broom, "Xiao Zhang, what are you eating? Why does it smell so good?"
"Flower cakes are so expensive. Is Grandma Liu sweeping the floor? You are busy. I will go home first."
Then she walked in without looking back and locked the door. The old lady was shocked and spat loudly.
"Little bitch, who wants your flower cake?"
Then, the naughty child was immediately unhappy when he saw that the old lady didn’t get the flower cake, “Grandma, I want to eat it, I want to eat it!”
"Eat, eat, eat, grandma will make it for you!"
Isn’t it just flower cake?
She can do it too.
The old lady saw edible cauliflower in the vegetable market, but she thought it was too expensive. She also remembered the flower cake that Zhang Shan ate, which really had flowers in it.
"What flowers can be grown in this season?"
While eating the pancake, Zhang Shan looked at the green belt outside the community, where there was a patch of oleander, blooming brightly and vigorously.
If you look closely, you will find that there is a figure under the flowers, breaking the oleanders one by one and picking the best flowers at the top.
When Zhang Shan went downstairs to throw away the garbage, she happened to meet the old lady coming back with a big bag. The old lady held her head high and snorted coldly at Zhang Shan.
Zhang Shan didn't care. After all, since she was already on the death list, there was no need to bother with her so much.
In the evening, the old lady and her family sat at the door, eating hot flower cakes. It must be said that the old lady was really skilled in making flower cakes.
It's delicious and makes you drool.
"Some people just don't know how to respect the elderly and love the young. They don't honor the elderly when they have something delicious. Humph, if they don't give it to us, we don't care. Old lady, I can make it myself."
"That's right, Mom. What you cook tastes much better than what others buy. Others don't have the luxury that we do."
"Mom, you're awesome."
“Grandma is the best!”
A family of four sat at Zhang Shan's door, and almost knocked on it before speaking to her.
Last month’s salary has been paid, and Zhang Shan is busy making money and has no time to take care of them. With her earplugs in, she can’t hear anything.
The family of four sang a one-man show at the door all night. After they finished eating the flower cakes, no one came out to look or ask a question, but they all thought that others were jealous of them, so they didn't come out to look.
At night, the family of four lay in bed, unconscious, with black mouths and pale faces.
He died before he could call for help.
For three consecutive days, the four people from the neighboring house were not seen, and some people couldn't help but feel curious.
"Why hasn't Mrs. Liu gone out recently?"
"Not only did she not go out, but her son and daughter-in-law also did not go out."
"not……"
The others were also startled, wondering if he was really dead.
There were eight or nine households living on the same floor, all gathered in front of Old Lady Liu's house.
I knocked on the door but heard no response, so I called the landlord.
The landlord was also worried that the four Liu family members had died in his house, so he opened the door without hesitation and went in, "Liu Fugui, Li Xiaomei, are you home?"
The landlord's voice was trembling as he opened the door and found a family of three lying on the bed.
"what!!"
In another room, Old Lady Liu was also lying on the bed, looking deathly dead.
The police arrived quickly.
After investigation, it was found that the Liu family of four died of poisoning due to accidentally ingesting oleander.
Someone died in the rented house, and the tenants moved out one after another. Zhang Shan also moved out and, taking Narcissus with her, she changed companies and moved to a new place.
All her bad luck seemed to have ended in that rented house. Since then, she has never met such a bad person, and naughty children have become even rarer.
