The landlord surnamed Lin criticized Zeng Nan, who was young and good at hands and feet, but he was unwilling to work hard. He was corrupt all day and had nothing to do. He just wanted to sleep in other people's houses. "It's like living like a maggot!" On the contrary, the man reported to the police and accused her of intimidating and threatening her, and sued her for obstructing freedom.

The landlord surnamed Lin said helplessly that the case had been resolved through legal means for more than a year, but the enforcement procedure was lengthy, and Zeng Nan would not be able to leave the rental house until March this year at the earliest. Maggot-like men, I really want to cry but have no tears." They must not be condoned or ignored. I hope to resort to the media to remind the public to avoid the next landlord being victimized.

Zeng Nan responded that due to the impact of the Wuhan pneumonia (new coronavirus disease, COVID-19) epidemic, finding a job is not smooth, coupled with young and ignorant, lazy personality, so the years are wasted, he is not unwilling to pay rent, but economic difficulties, currently I work in the logistics industry in Wugu District, and I have negotiated with the court that I will move out in mid-February.

The reporter asked if he needed help referring to the Labor Bureau or the Social Bureau?

Zeng Nan refused to say, "No need, I will handle it myself." As for the litigation dispute between him and the landlord, Zeng Nan refused to talk more, and only emphasized that "the law will give me justice."
