Song Weidong wanted to take another look at the contract, but Chen Jianing snatched it away. She only glanced at it symbolically before handing it to Brother Biao.
"I've checked it, there's no problem. Can I pay now?"
Brother Biao picked up his satchel and started counting the money inside. He placed eight hundred-yuan bills on the table.
"The money is right here, now we need the property ownership certificate."
Upon seeing the money, Song Weidong promptly went back inside and retrieved the property ownership certificate.
"But it still has my wife's name on it."
"It's nothing." Brother Biao stood up and took the property deed, leaving the money on the coffee table in its original place.
"Alright, I won't say any more to you guys. I have another appointment, so I'll be leaving now."
"I'll take you!" Chen Jianing followed eagerly.
The two went out together. Song Weidong was overjoyed when he saw the money on the table. He picked it up and counted it carefully, then kissed one of the bills hard.
"Lu Zhixia! You think you can outsmart me? No way! This house was bought with my hard-earned savings!"
He put the money in his pocket, but felt it wasn't safe, so he hid it back in the book, only this time he was smarter and changed its location.
downstairs.
Chen Jianing beckoned to Brother Biao, "What's in it for me?"
Brother Biao took out 100 yuan from his bag and gave it to her. "This money is your kickback. It's not in the contract. If I can't get this house, then this guy is in big trouble!"
"He's not my boyfriend, you can do whatever you want with him!" Chen Jianing carefully checked that the hundred-yuan bill was real before clutching the money tightly, and then saw that there was no one around.
She kissed the man on the cheek and said, "I'll look for you when I have time."
"I'm going to Hong Kong and Taiwan next month. If you have time, you can come with me. I'll buy you some bright clothes and the latest bags."
Brother Biao grinned wickedly; his true intention was to sell the woman.
This old woman still has a certain charm; she should be worth some money.
"We'll see when the time comes!" Chen Jianing became wary, because the person in front of her was no good.
If you can just make do with each other, that's fine, but going to such a far place, where you're unfamiliar with the area, anything can happen.
Seeing that the woman wasn't falling for it, Brother Biao wasn't in a hurry. He figured she'd eventually be fooled, so he patted her face.
"I'll be going now!"
As Chen Jianing watched the person leave, she thought about the 800 yuan that Song Weidong had just received and guessed that he would definitely find a place to hide it.
We must find a way to locate the money; if things don't work out, we can take the money and leave.
When I went back upstairs, I saw the man sitting in front of the sofa drinking again, his face flushed, clearly he had drunk a lot.
"Why are you drinking again?"
"I've lost my job."
"What? How is that possible?"
"It's all Lu Zhixia's fault. Those wild men she hooked up with exposed the matter to the steel mill, and I got fired."
"You've worked in the factory for over 10 years, and they fired you for such a small thing?"
"When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. I've offended some people before, and I guess they'll take this opportunity to kill me. I didn't even have a chance to fight back." He leaned back on the sofa. "I don't know what the future holds."
Thinking of the 800 yuan, Chen Jianing said, "Should we move now?"
"Yes, that's right, let's move everything that can be moved out of the house first!" Song Weidong stood up, swayed, and then fell down again.
"I should have known better than to drink so much; I'm starting to feel a bit tipsy now."
"But where can we find shelter right now?"
"We're going back to the old house, where else can we go!"
Song Weidong didn't want to go back there at all. First of all, the house had been almost completely destroyed by Lu Zhixia, and it would be impossible for anyone to live there for a while after he returned.
But there's nowhere else to go right now, so we have no choice but to go back.
They left in such a glorious way, and now they're back in such a sorry state.
I randomly picked two tricycles and loaded everything I could carry from the house onto them. Moving the two large beds down would cost extra.
Having no other choice, Song Weidong threw the key at the door as an insult to Lu Zhixia.
What good is the key we get?
The house has already been mortgaged, and he's got the money!
The two cars stopped downstairs at the old building, which naturally attracted the attention of the neighbors. Then they saw that it was Song Weidong bringing things back.
Sister Sun, who was upstairs, leaned out of the window and asked, "Little Song, why are you back again? Where's your wife?"
Song Weidong grabbed Chen Jianing and said, "This is my wife. I dumped the previous one!"
Sister Sun was quite surprised. She had changed her wife in just a few days, and the new woman was not bad looking.
But holding a baby in his arms, he's become someone else's father.
Song Yaozu stood behind them with his head drooping, thinking to himself that having a stepmother really does bring a stepfather.
The child looked unwell; he pursed his lips and said nothing more.
They had no right to interfere in other people's private affairs; they simply closed the window without asking.
Song Weidong directed the people to move the items into the hallway and put them away. Then, they took out a key to open the door and were greeted by a pungent smell.
Upon seeing the scene inside the room, he felt nauseous and vomited.
It turned out the sewer had backed up, and the whole house was flooded. It seems this situation has been going on for more than just a day or two.
"Boss, what's the situation in this place?" The worker covered his nose with his hand. "We can't handle this kind of situation. You need to hire a professional cleaner!"
"Can you find it?" Song Weidong closed the door. "I can pay extra to have someone come and clean it up."
"With your house in this state, it'll cost at least 100 yuan!" the worker demanded, "This is a sewer backflow; if it's not fixed, no one can live here."
