Chapter 326 He Wants to Divide Them from Within
Chapter 326 He Wants to Divide Them from Within
Jiang Baige’s first reaction was: Mo Songru is a good person.
Although Jiang Baige was dissatisfied with every aspect of the house she liked, she was just like the Queen Mother who beat the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl with a stick in the legend.
Mo Songru was not angry.
Instead, she chose to believe Jiang Baige: she almost immediately accepted Jiang Baige's views on formaldehyde, and took the initiative to buy an air purifier at her own expense and find someone to remove the formaldehyde.
Now, she even told the old man the truth about his intention to create an "internal division" among the three of them.
It seems that the Weaver Girl also knows that the Cowherd is not a good guy, so she does not vent her anger on the Queen Mother. It’s just that the “child” is coerced by the Cowherd, so she has to endure the humiliation and see him once a year.
If we were to say what Mo Songru's "child" is, it would probably be that the house is really nice and cheap.
Xin Zhiping had no idea that Jiang Baige was making up a story in her mind.
Seeing that Jiang Baige didn't answer, he urged again: "So? What do you think? If I really let her live with someone else, it would seem that I am a little bit dishonest."
"How can it be!"
Jiang Baige thought to herself: Even if Mo Songru wants to, I won’t let her “fly solo”.
"How about this...I'll find her tomorrow and talk to her alone."
The next day, Jiang Baige and Mo Songru met at "Hongfeng Home" - the community where the house that Mo Songru liked was located.
Mo Songru looked a little uncomfortable, and the first thing he said was: "Bai Ge, I...I don't want to leave your Xiao Ping behind."
"I know, sister. I came to you today to explain this matter to you clearly."
"say clearly?"
Mo Songru was a little surprised.
She always thought that they had reached a consensus on this matter: Jiang Baige didn't like that house because she was sensitive to toxic substances; but Mo Songru thought this was acceptable because she couldn't find a better house than this one.
Jiang Baige placed some color-printed documents in front of Mo Songru.
That was what Jiang Baige searched on the Internet, which was a report about some people who lived in "串串房" and developed cancer or even died.
But these people are not as influential as Mo Songru's story in the previous life - after all, she is a well-known anti-cancer blogger, and her anti-cancer experience was even made into a micro-film.
So before Mo Songru, there were not many reports about this kind of thing.
Being able to find these is the result of Jiang Baige's continuous and precise search for content.
However, although there were not many reports, the results were very shocking: most people died, it was just a matter of time.
Just like Mo Songru and her roommates in the previous life.
After reading this, Mo Songru was a little puzzled: "Do you think the old He family's house will be so serious?"
"I'm a little worried... After all, I've only experienced the same physical discomfort when I was shopping in the furniture mall. But think about it, there are so many pieces of furniture and so much formaldehyde... Moreover, the furniture mall is an open environment, and many pieces of furniture are samples that have been there for a long time."
The He family’s house is less than 100 square meters, but has the same effect.
"I believe you, Baige." Mo Songru was very sincere, "That's why I said that before we move in, I will find a formaldehyde removal company to do a cleanup... I will bear the cost."
Jiang Baige knew that she was sincere.
But by the time the house is signed, it's too late.
Xin Zhiping told Jiang Baige that because the rent of 5,000 a month was too low, Lao He later told Mo Songru that he had to sign a three-year contract and pay one year's rent at a time. -- Because he was the landlord, there was no need to worry that he would run away.
This also matches the timeline of the previous life, where Mo Songru died 20 years ago, and her roommate was still living in the house until 22 years later!
How could she let Mo Songru jump into such a death trap?
"Sister, I'm grateful that you believe in me." Jiang Baige held Mo Songru's hand, "But if the formaldehyde content is seriously exceeded, cleaning it once or twice will be useless."
"That……"
Mo Songru really didn't know what to do, but if Jiang Baige didn't want to share the rent with her, she could just let Xin Zhiping pass the message. There was no need to come to see her.
She asked directly: "Bai Ge, tell me, what do you want to do?"
"Before signing the contract, I want to find a company to do a formaldehyde test at my own expense." Jiang Baige expressed her thoughts, "You don't have to worry about the cost. Since I proposed it, I will be responsible for it. Do you think... is it okay?"
Mo Songru thought about it and thought this was a good idea.
To be honest, at first, she thought Jiang Baige was making a fuss, but Jiang Baige's resolute attitude made her trust him inexplicably.
So I searched for a lot of reports about inferior decoration materials causing cancer: adults getting cancer, children dying young, pregnant women having miscarriages, fetal deformities...
She began to agree with Jiang Baige's concerns.
But she was still confused by Lao He's house and only thought about "solving the problem" but did not consider "preventing the problem".
And now, what Jiang Baige provides is the prevention method.
"But..." Mo Songru was a little worried, "Do you think Lao He would agree with us doing this?"
Jiang Baige shrugged: "Why don't we call him and ask him out first?"
Half an hour later, the three of them returned to the familiar door of the three-bedroom apartment.
Old He was still wearing a mask, but he wasn't as friendly as he was when they first met. Especially when Jiang Baige walked out from behind Mo Songru, one could feel his old face drooping even through the mask.
Sure enough, when he heard Mo Songru say that he would find someone to do a formaldehyde test on the house before deciding whether to sign the contract, he jumped up suddenly and spoke sternly.
"You little girls are really looking for trouble! I rented such a nice house to you at a low price, and you are still asking for more? What if those people mess around in my room and break things? Who will pay for it?"
"Uncle He, don't get excited." Mo Songru said gently, "We will pay for the inspection ourselves... and you can be present throughout the process. If those people really dare to damage your house, we will be the first to disagree!"
"No! Definitely not!"
No matter how Mo Songru and Jiang Baige tried to persuade him, Lao He's attitude was very firm: no testing was allowed.
But his actions made Mo Songru suspicious: they were just doing a test and spending their own money, not demolishing his house. If there was no ghost, why was he so excited?
If you want to enter this house, you need his consent.
Mo Songru wished he could find someone to come and get it tested today and put an end to it once and for all.
Finally, she was tired of talking: "Uncle He, let's do this... Since you are unwilling to give in, my sister is worried. But your house will definitely be popular and there will be no trouble renting it... I can only say that we are not destined to have this house..."
Having said that, he pulled Jiang Baige and was about to leave.
Seeing that they were about to leave, Lao He immediately took two steps forward and stopped them: "Hey, you have looked at it so many times, and suddenly you don't want to rent it anymore, aren't you kidding me! If you insist on doing some kind of test, it's not impossible, but..."
