The landlady began   38  the house. After looking around, the landlady screamed, “See how you have   39  my house? The walls are full of nails(铁钉)! How could I rent it to others?”
She began looking around her   40  room. Four years ago on the wedding night, he felt deeply   41  to her, saying, “I feel so sorry to you for   42  you live in this small room. In the future I will buy our own big house.”

Then he began   46  more nails into the wall. There were three nails on the left, on which   47  his clothes yesterday and four on the right used to   48  their wedding photo frame.
The landlady started to pull the nails out with a tool. After the nails were   49 , the walls were left with countless holes. Suddenly, she felt heartbroken as if she were   50  nonstop through these holes.
　　She   51  to her feet and exclaimed, “Stop removing the nails! We will rent the house   52  we buy our own!” He gazed at her surprised, and then turned round, tears over his cheek.
