一店主因孩子开学资金紧张迟交房租，房东得知后在店内买了根烤肠，却支付了2万元

房东上门收租，不仅一分租金没收到，反倒在买了一根烤肠之后，自掏腰包给了租客两万元，怎么回事？

A shop owner in Foshan, Guangdong province, got an unexpected helping hand from his landlord after falling about half a month behind on rent.

The tenant was due to pay on Aug 23 but missed the date because school was starting and his family's cash flow was tight. When the landlord came to check, he bought a grilled sausage at the shop, then scanned a payment code and transferred 20,000 yuan to the tenant.

租客告诉记者：“房东转完账就要走，我说‘你怎么转了两万（元）呢’，他说‘没事啊，你不是小孩开学要用钱吗？那先拿去用一下。租金没事，也先缓一缓吧’，他后面也跟我说租金会给我降一点。”

The tenant was stunned. The landlord told him to use the money for his children's school costs and said the rent could wait and would be lowered.

租客表示，自己在这条街上租房已经六七年了，早些年还和房东做过邻居，关系更像是相识已久的朋友。平日里谁家有困难，都会互相搭把手。可当听到两万元到账时，他还是愣住了，半天没回过神。

房东表示：“这些年，租客一直按时交租，从没拖过一天，人品我信得过。”

The two have known each other for years: the tenant has rented the shop for six or seven years and once lived as neighbors with the landlord. The landlord said he trusted the tenant because he had always paid rent on time and never delayed a single day.

面对网友“好房东”的赞许，房东只是笑了笑，说自己没做什么大事，“生活都不容易，能拉一把就拉一把，算不了什么”。

When praised online as a "good landlord", he shrugged it off. "Life is hard for everyone. If you can help someone, help them," he said. The tenant said the money left him warm inside and that he would work harder to improve his business.

租客坦言，因为这些钱，“心里热了很久”，并表示他也会努力想办法让小店生意好转。
