The Wonderful Daily Life of Nogizaka

On the other side, Nana Hashimoto, who was being taken to collect the rent, followed closely behind Mrs. Ueno.

The two walked down a corridor and arrived at a place similar to a study. Mrs. Ueno opened the drawer and took out a folder, and then displayed it one by one. In addition to the printed documents, there was some cash inside. This was exactly

The deposit paid by Nana Hashimoto at that time.

While she lowered her head and rummaged through the corresponding documents skillfully, she said to Hashimoto Nanami who looked a little embarrassed: "Hashimoto, why are two people here today? Is there anything wrong with that man?"

Hashimoto Nana blinked in confusion and asked, "Is there something wrong with him?"

"I don't know if he has any problems, but you can bring him here, you must trust him, right?" Mrs. Ueno pointedly said: "You are a girl who came here from Hokkaido to live.

Life has been a bit hard, and now you have brought a man like this here, is he your boyfriend?"

Hashimoto Nana's face turned red immediately, and she quickly waved her hands and said: "No, no, you misunderstood——"

But before she could finish speaking, Mrs. Ueno continued: "It doesn't matter if it's not. I'm not gossiping about your personal feelings. I just think that you, a little girl, living alone like this will definitely be dependent on you. Not now, nor in the future."

Maybe. It’s easy for women to rely on others when they are in trouble. You are relatively strong among the girls I have met, but you are still a woman, and sooner or later you will have that day."

Hashimoto Nana still wanted to explain, but thought that if the identity of Baiyunshan's agent was exposed, wouldn't she be self-defeating? She could only explain in a low voice with a red face.

But this was obviously a way to comfort herself. Unless Mrs. Ueno had the hearing of the fashion designer she met in Baiyun Mountain that day, it would be impossible for Mrs. Ueno to hear it.

After a moment of silence, Mrs. Ueno continued: "Hashimoto, do you hate me?"

Nana Hashimoto quickly opened her mouth to say something, but for a moment she couldn't.

Does she hate Mrs. Ueno? The answer seems to be yes.

When she was renting a house with Mr. Ueno, the most annoying thing every month was at the end of the month, because then Mrs. Ueno would knock on the door on time to collect rent, water and electricity, and her financial situation was not only bad, but even very bad.

He was very mean, so he often failed to attend school, and was stabbed more than once by Mrs. Ueno's harsh words.

Although she has a stubborn personality and does not shed tears like her peers, she still feels sad and sad, but she cannot express it and hides it silently in her heart.

But to say it's annoying, it seems a little short of that.

Hashimoto Nana is a more rational person. Although Mrs. Ueno's words hurt her, she can understand such behavior from the other party's point of view. After all, how can she not treat a tenant who has always owed rent?

His driving him away was considered to be the most benevolent thing. What's more, Mrs. Ueno didn't do this to her alone. Her harshness would not be directed at anyone, nor would she ridicule others for no reason. Most of the time, it was defensible.

It's just that harsh words make it difficult to make people feel good.

And things like feelings are often difficult to accurately measure.

The same goes for Mrs. Ueno.

The air of silence is filled with the chill of mid-January.

Mrs. Ueno, who didn't hear the answer for a while, didn't ask further questions and continued: "It doesn't matter if you hate me. I've seen too much. As long as you don't hate my husband."

"Mr. Ueno?" Nana Hashimoto asked doubtfully.

"Yes, it's that idiot." Mrs. Ueno said lightly, but Hashimoto Nanami could rarely hear a faint smile in her tone: "That guy likes to be a good person so much. Whenever he has a problem, he will look for him.

If you get along with him, he will sacrifice his life to help, regardless of whether he is responsible or not, whether he can live with it or not."

"Over the years, there have been at least 100 to 80 incidents where various friends have come to my door to ask for help, and countless people have disappeared afterwards. If it hadn't been for me, that guy would definitely not know where he was under the overpass now.

!" Mrs. Ueno said proudly, but Nana Hashimoto could faintly smell the smell of dog food.

Mrs. Ueno continued: "Although my husband is a good person, he is not very good at rejecting others. When someone asked him to help repair their car, he ran to help repair the car. As a result, his own car was damaged. They asked him to borrow it.

When the money came in an emergency, he lent it without saying a word. As a result, he took the money and ran away without even a trace. He lost a lot of money for no reason, and for a while he couldn't even eat."

"I have always been a good person and helped others, but I have never seen anyone help him like this. People remember him verbally, but how could they secretly laugh at him for being a fool!" Mrs. Ueno said this with a confused tone.

There were some complaints and dissatisfaction. "I don't know what's wrong with helping such a group of ruthless people, but I still happily join in every day. Do you think he is a fool?"

Hashimoto Nana was speechless for a moment.

"But I just fell in love with him and was so stupid. After I married him, nine out of ten snobbish people who wanted to take advantage of others were blocked by me. Anyone who took the opportunity to find fault or find faults was also blocked by me.

I scolded them one by one. Some were unwilling to speak ill of me behind my back. Those who felt they were in the wrong didn't say anything more. Of course, there were also others who agreed. But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what you say about me. Remember me.

As long as my husband is good, or the worse you talk about me, the more you will remember my husband's good qualities, right?"

Mrs. Ueno's remarks made Hashimoto Nana somewhat impressed.

She had never thought that this mean-looking landlady actually had such a rich heart. She looked like a bad person to outsiders, but her actions and starting point were all for her husband.

For the kindness and enthusiasm he has done. On the contrary, those who accuse him of being harsh are more motivated by their own interests, inner greed, and a sour mentality when they cannot take advantage.

She is not someone who would speak ill of others behind their backs, but what about other people? How much of those bad words about Mrs. Ueno are true, and how much is a revengeful mentality when things don't work out? Hashimoto Nana can't help it.

Imagine it, or even if it is true, at least now it seems that there is no problem for Mrs. Ueno to say a few mean words.

A few minutes later, Mrs. Ueno handed the well-checked rent to Nami Hashimoto, and then suggested: "Click the money and see if there are any problems. If there are no problems, let's go see the place you are renting now."

Hashimoto Nana's face tightened, the topic finally came!

At this point, Mrs. Ueno suddenly thought of something and added: "By the way, don't get me wrong, I'm not specifically targeting you because I don't want you to cancel the lease. My husband came up with this contract. He knows that you are alone.

I’m staying in Tokyo and I’m worried about what might happen if you live somewhere else, so I suggested adding a requirement to move nearby so that if something happens, you’ll have someone to take care of you.”

Hashimoto Nana's expression suddenly froze.

"Also, we originally thought that you would not move out, because we have already inquired that your financial situation is not very good, and you cannot afford to rent a slightly more expensive place. Although we don't say how much money we have here,

Good, but at least it has all aspects, and the rent is set after special consideration. This is all the work of that fool, who always likes to reduce people's prices, and he doesn't know how much he has lost...

..”

Mrs. Ueno was complaining about her husband's faults, but she didn't see Hashimoto Nana's eyes gradually change. First she was surprised, then grateful, and finally ashamed.

Immediately afterwards, Hashimoto Nana bowed vigorously to her and apologized.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Ueno, I misunderstood you!"

Mrs. Ueno looked at her blankly for a moment, then covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Hehehe, you are really an idiot..."
