Chapter 33
C33 – House Rents
Ling Xueming said seriously, “Xun Zhonghou, you know the Sumerian?”
“I know a little.”
Xun Zhonghou humbly said, “Principal, how did you know?”
Only the people of the Yan family knew that Ling Xueming could decipher the Sumerian. Where did Ling Xueming learn about this?
“I have a good relationship with the Yan family. They told me about it.”
Ling Xueming explained with a smile, “Xun Zhonghou, I have some Sumerian here. Can you help me decipher it?”
Xun Zhonghou understood.
Ling Xueming wanted him to help him decipher the Sumerian, that’s why he called.
As for the warning to the Shi family, it was just a preparation for this matter.
Xun Zhonghou smiled and said, “Principal, there is something I need to tell you in advance. My fee is very high. Previously, I helped the Yan family decipher some Sumerian. They paid me five hundred thousand Cassiopeia coins!”
Of course, he would not ask Ling Xueming for the Cassiopeia coins. His real goal was to make Ling Xueming owe him a favor.
In the future, he wanted Ling Xueming to help him enter the Demon Quelling Tower and Trial Tower.
On the other side of the phone, Ling Xueming said, “Five hundred thousand Cassiopeia coins? You want to rob me? Do you believe that I will fire you?”
Although he was the principal, his monthly salary was only a few tens of thousands of Cassiopeia coins.
Most of the Cassiopeia coins were used to buy cultivation resources.
If Xun Zhonghou really demanded five hundred thousand Cassiopeia coins, he would not be able to afford it.
“You’re threatening me.”
Xun Zhonghou smiled and said, “Principal, I was just joking with you. I will decode it for you on Monday. I won’t charge you, and I guarantee that I will decode it for you.”
Ling Xueming laughed heartily.
After that, the two of them chatted for a while and hung up.
“Let’s go home.”
Xun Zhonghou returned the phone to Yi Liang and walked straight home.
Ten minutes later, the three of them entered an old residential area.
“Xun Zhonghou, Xun Qinyou, see you tomorrow!”
Yi Liang and Xun Zhonghou greeted each other and quickly left.
Xun Zhonghou and Xun Qinyou entered a building. Just as they entered the staircase, they heard a quarrel.
“Brother, it’s Mom arguing with the landlord.”
Xun Qinyou’s expression changed.
Their house was rented. The landlord would come to collect rent every month.
However, there were still a few days left until the end of the month. It was not appropriate to come and collect rent now.
“Let’s go up and take a look.”
Xun Zhonghou’s expression was gloomy.
Their landlord was a mean and sharp middle-aged woman. She often made things difficult for their family for a small matter.
However, the rent here was relatively cheaper than other places, so they had always been able to endure it.
However, it was different now. Xun Zhonghou already had two hundred thousand Cassiopeia coins.
Moreover, he had a way to quickly earn Cassiopeia coins. They didn’t need to endure it.
If the landlord didn’t know how to restrain himself, they wouldn’t be renting here anymore.
When they arrived on the third floor, they saw Ling Lili talking to a fat woman.
This fat woman was called Wan Guangji, and she was their landlord. At this moment, she had her hands on her waist, and her attitude was arrogant as she shouted at Ling Lili.
Ling Lili was smiling.
“Mom, what’s going on?” Xun Zhonghou asked.
“Hurry up and go into the house.”
Ling Lili pulled Xun Zhonghou into the room.
“Ling Lili, if you don’t pay the rent today, your whole family will leave this place tomorrow!” Wan Guangji said coldly.
