Chapter 175 Expensive Recycling The Starting Place of Dreams 2
Once the fifth day of the new year passed, the landlord started urging Zhou Xueyin to pay the rent.
Zhou Xueyin took this opportunity to arrange a meeting with the landlord at the rented house.
The landlord was a woman in her fifties, looking quite well-off, "Are you comfortable living here? Or is that why you wanted to meet? Because you don’t want to rent anymore?

"As long as it’s not about lowering the rent, that’s good, that’s good!" The landlord breathed a little easier. "So why did you ask to meet me? You know, it’s quite a hassle for me to come all the way from Tiantong Garden..."
