- Chapter 8 - Accommodation scam
After walking for a while, Shen Yunqing arrived at Huimin Guesthouse. She took out the letter of introduction and completed the accommodation procedures. Sister Qi took Shen Yunqing to the third floor.
“The toilet is on the first floor. Hot water is five cents a pot. Leave before 10 o’clock tomorrow morning. If you want to renew the lease, go to the front desk and tell my daughter.”
When she arrived at the door of 303, Sister Qi raised her hand and knocked on the door.
A few seconds later, the door opened.
A girl was standing behind the door, and two little girls were sitting on the bed inside. They looked about the same age as Shen Yunqing.
In the room of a few square meters, there were two bunk beds like those in the staff dormitory.
Shen Yunqing immediately felt that she had been cheated.
She looked at Sister Qi with a bad face: “There are so many people living in one room, why didn’t you tell me in advance.”
Sister Qi crossed her arms, without the kindness she had just used to solicit customers, and sneered: “Little girl, I only charge you three cents. You want to live in a single room at this price, you wishful thinking.”
“If you want to stay, stay. If not, leave. The room fee is not refundable.”
As she said that, she turned and walked downstairs, and the wooden planks of the stairs creaked.
Shen Yunqing was cheated on the first night after arriving in Haishi. She was furious.
The girl who opened the door saw that she was so angry that she gritted her teeth and asked in a low voice: “Hey, are you okay?”
Shen Yunqing’s face was tense, her lips were pursed, and she stood at the door with her bag.
Seeing that she didn’t speak, Li Xiaohui sighed and said: “Don’t be angry, just make it for one night. We were deceived by Sister Qi just like you.”
Shen Yunqing heard it and looked up at her: “Have you ever thought about leaving?”
“How to leave?” Li Xiaohui shrugged: “It costs a few cents to stay outside. Didn’t you hear her say that there is no room fee?”
Shen Yunqing was so angry that she didn’t hear what Aunt Qi said next.
She didn’t have much money on her. She had just arrived and was not familiar with Haishi at this time. If she left here rashly, she didn’t know if she would be cheated even more miserably at the next guesthouse.
After thinking about it, she still walked in with her luggage.
After she came in, Li Xiaohui closed the door and introduced the bed to her: “That bed is for Zheng Yun and Wang Lu. First come, first served. I’ll be on the lower bunk and you’ll be on the upper bunk.”
Shen Yunqing had no objection. She found a set of clean clothes and put her luggage on the upper bunk.
Wang Lu saw her holding the clothes and preparing to go out, and reminded her: “There is no shower room here. Go down and get a pot of hot water and wipe it casually.”
OK! Shen Yunqing put the clothes back on the bed and said “thank you” to her.
Open the door and go out.
In the small room on the first floor where they checked in, Sister Qi’s daughter was knitting a sweater with a stick in her hand. The old woman was not there. She must have gone out to cheat other girls again.
Shen Yunqing gave her five cents and carried a pot of hot water upstairs.
There was a ready-made basin in the room. She didn’t know what the previous batch of guests used it for. She didn’t dare to use it to wash her face, so she had to make do with washing her feet.
It was getting late, and the three of them lay on the bed and closed their eyes to sleep. Shen Yunqing poured the water for washing feet and went back to the room. When she put the basin against the wall, her eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of the hot water kettle.
She still couldn’t get over the fact that she was cheated.
Bad ideas popped up in her mind, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, she turned off the lights, climbed into bed in the dark and went to sleep.
…
As soon as the sky got light in the morning, the three of them got up, packed up and left.
Shen Yunqing didn’t get up until eight o’clock, and she didn’t wash her face. After doing the bad thing, she carried her luggage, went downstairs to return the kettle, left the guesthouse, and ran away.
At noon, when I was waiting for Sister Qi’s daughter to clean the kettle, I found that the inner liner of one of the kettles had been deliberately punctured.
