Withered Broken Ice Blue

Chapter 136 Problems of Living Alone

Of course, Chi Feiwan is not stupid. If she doesn’t understand it herself, she can consult online.

The development of the Internet is not just talk; it can only be experienced through personal experience.

After Chi Feiwan typed the words "How to check if the natural gas meter is damaged" on Baidu and pressed the Enter key, a bunch of dense text immediately popped up on the screen.

These texts cover a variety of information, including explanations of how natural gas meters work, specific steps to check whether a natural gas meter is damaged, and some users sharing their own problems and solutions.

Chi Feiwan widened his eyes and read every piece of information carefully, trying to find the answer that best suits him.

When a household's natural gas supply is insufficient, the meter's warning light will flash continuously, indicating that the natural gas may be running out and that recharging or replacing the remaining gas is necessary as soon as possible.

Chi Feiwan remembered that he and Chi Yizi left in January, and when she returned home in February, the water, electricity and gas bills had not been paid yet.

Suddenly, Chi Feiwan remembered that there were several stacks of bills on the windowsill of the corridor outside the door.

Chi Feiwan wrapped himself tightly, opened the door, and took it in as quickly as possible when he saw the list.

I'm freezing.

Chi Feiwan shuddered, closed the door, and checked the bill in his hand. Indeed, he had unpaid bills.

Usually, Chi Yizi handles these things. He comes to coordinate with Shen Linxi. When Chi Yizi is not around, she has to pay for the water, electricity and gas bills.

She placed the lists one by one on the coffee table, pursed her lips and dialed Shen Linxi's number.

"Beep... The number you dialed cannot be connected at the moment. Please call again later..."

Chi Feiwan called again, but still no one answered.

Not only did I call twice, I also called via WeChat, but the other party didn't answer.

Chi Feiwan had no choice but to send a message to Shen Linxi, attaching the list on the coffee table.

I opened Baidu again and searched in the search box "How do I pay my water, electricity and gas bills online?"

How to pay water, electricity and gas bills online:

1. WeChat. Open WeChat, click "Me" and then "Services", select "Life Payment", on the life payment page, select "Water Bill", "Electricity Bill" or "Gas Bill", and complete the payment according to the prompts.

2. Alipay. Open the Alipay app, search for "Life Payment" in the search box, enter the life payment page, select "Water Bill", "Electricity Bill" or "Gas Bill", and complete the payment according to the prompts.

3.…

4. Telephone: Dial the water group telephone number and make a manual inquiry using the user number or user address.

It's surprising, right? Chi Feiwan has lived alone, but he doesn't know how to pay water, electricity and gas bills by himself.

The reason was not his. The water, electricity and gas bills were not her responsibility. She lived in the old house, and the water, electricity and gas bills were all paid by Shen Linxi. Even the replacement of the water heater at home was Shen Linxi's decision.

Although Shen Linxi was in arrears with living expenses, he had never been in arrears with water, electricity and gas bills.

Perhaps because no one had lived in the house for nearly a month and he was busy with the New Year celebrations, Shen Linxi forgot about this matter.

At least that's what Chi Feiwan thought.

Even though there are only two of us living together, the water, electricity and gas bills are incredibly high.

Chi Feiwan couldn't believe it when he saw the two three-digit amounts.

Especially the electricity bill is frighteningly high.

Chi Feiwan sat on the sofa for five minutes, but her phone still didn't receive any message from Shen Linxi, and she didn't call her back.

She sighed, opened WeChat and checked her meager balance.

Chi Feiwan’s balance was enough to pay the three-digit water, electricity and gas bills, but if she used them, she would have to eat instant noodles for the next few days.

So she thought of Chi Yizi.

[Third brother, the water, electricity and gas bills at home are in arrears. ]

Chi Feiwan attached a picture of the order on the coffee table. Before he sent it, he received a transfer from Chi Yizi. The amount was

Chi Feiwan was stunned: [Third brother, we don’t need so many…]

If Chi Feiwan wasn't embarrassed to accept it, Chi Yizi might have given him 100,000 yuan.

You have to know that Chi Yi's monthly living expenses start at several million, and his daily expenses are as high as five figures. You can imagine how generous he is.

Chi Yizhi was afraid that Chi Feiwan would return the remaining money: [You can spend the remaining money as you wish. Don’t treat yourself badly in the New Year.]

The word "unfair treatment" is the easiest to understand.

Although Chi Yizi didn't say it explicitly, Chi Feiwan could understand it.

The pieces of clothing in his closet seemed expensive, but in fact the most expensive one was only over 500 yuan. How could they be hidden from Chi Yizi's eagle-like eyes?

After sending a "thank you", Chi Feiwan paid the water, electricity and gas bills on the WeChat mini program.

She also sent a message to Shen Linxi: [Mom, I have paid the water, electricity and gas bills.]

Shen Linxi still didn't reply to her.

Chi Feiwan didn't care anymore. After all, the problem of water, electricity and gas bills was solved. She blew her hair dry and went to bed, not even remembering that the faucet in the bathroom was leaking.

When Chi Feiwan woke up the next morning, he found that after breakfast was ready, news about Shen Linxi was spreading like wildfire on his phone.

【? 】

Where did you pay?

【Who gave you the money? 】

Chi Feiwan gave a unified reply to the three questions: [I paid online, and the money was given to me by my third brother.]

Shen Linxi: [Did you ask your third brother for it? ]

Chi Feiwan: [Yes.]

Shen Linxi: [Aren’t you rich? ]

Chi Feiwan: [Not enough...]

[Don’t ask your third brother for money next time.] Shen Linxi’s anger can be felt through the words.

If the situation had not been urgent, she would not have asked Chi Yizi for money. What's more, she lived with her third brother, so why couldn't she ask her third brother for money?

Chi Feiwan really wanted to send this sentence, but her hands remained suspended and she couldn't type a single word.

Chi Feiwan finished his breakfast and went to the bathroom. As soon as he entered the room, he saw water on the floor, which splashed water wherever he stepped on it.

It’s over.

Chi Feiwan stepped in carefully and saw the leaking faucet at a glance.

The most important thing is that this faucet can’t be turned on now.

It is definitely not enough to rely on strength alone, you need the help of tools.

Chi Feiwan searched the storage room for a long time but didn't see a single tool.

Since you can't find it yourself, ask others.

Chi Feiwan dialed the first number, but no one answered.

The second one picked up.

The voice on the other end was hoarse, as if he had just woken up. "Third brother, do you know where the wrench is at home?"

The call paused for a few seconds.

"We don't have a tool like a wrench at home." Chi Yizi's words seemed to hit her hard.

"Wanwan, I don't use that stuff. If the electrical appliances at home are broken, you can find someone to fix them."

Could Chi Feiwan not have thought of this? On New Year's Eve, everyone went to celebrate the New Year, but the store was still open.

The streets of the capital were deserted. Looking around, there was hardly a single store open for business, with only a few restaurants occasionally lighting up.

Chi Yizhi asked again, "What's broken?"

"Faucet."

Of course Chi Yizi didn't know how to fix it. He was a child of wealth and had always had everything he had provided for him since he was a child. He didn't even know many basic life skills, let alone something as trivial as fixing a faucet.

After all, there are dedicated people to do these things, and he doesn't need to do them himself.
