Chapter 277 Ah Yu, how's the building for the shop coming along?
As soon as she finished speaking, Yuan Qionghua didn't wait for the man to react before calling An Songyu and the other person to leave.
After leaving An Songyu's house.
Both of them looked at Yuan Qionghua with some strange expressions.
"What are you looking at?" Yuan Qionghua didn't turn around, but it was as if she knew what the two were looking at.
"Aunt, if this could have been resolved earlier, why did you keep this person around all this time?" An Songyu asked with some confusion.
She always felt that if Yuan Qionghua had shown this kind of momentum earlier...
She no longer needs to feel that this tenant is a nuisance.
"Because this method wasn't suitable earlier," An Jianping explained to his sister-in-law, while looking at the houses on both sides of the road.
In urban villages like this, the alleys are narrow and small.
Living there is indeed not very convenient.
After the demolition notice was issued, many families were already preparing to move away.
An Songyu kept walking, but her ears were perked up, waiting for the two to explain.
“At the beginning, there were too many tenants, so adopting that attitude made it easy to unite them.” Yuan Qionghua took the opportunity to teach her niece about the complexities of human nature.
"Even if people know it's wrong, will so many people still follow suit and do it?" An Songyu couldn't help but ask.
It's not that she's naive.
Even with another twenty years of life experience, there are still some things she can't figure out.
I rarely talk about such things with others in the past.
Now is the perfect opportunity to ask the elders for advice.
"The law does not punish the masses!" An Jianmin replied calmly.
"Sometimes, people trust the power of the masses more than their own ideas."
"When faced with interests, only a small minority can truly remain steadfast," Yuan Qionghua stated more bluntly.
"Moreover, many of those who rent houses here are just ordinary people struggling to make a living."
"They do it even if they know it's wrong, just to make a living."
"They may not necessarily be willing to give up their immediate benefits."
"Is this what the ancients meant when they said: 'When the granaries are full, people know etiquette; when they are well-fed and clothed, they know honor and shame'?" An Songyu seemed to realize something.
Yuan Qionghua remained silent for a moment, looking rather helpless, before reluctantly nodding.
In fact, she didn't understand what her niece meant by "sassy words".
But given Ayu's intelligence, she should have understood it first and then interpreted it in her own way!
"Will this really work?" An Songyu couldn't help but turn around and look.
Compared to the surrounding area, where most houses are single-story tile-roofed houses or bungalows, her five-story house was extremely conspicuous.
And the lights in the house...
"Aunt, Uncle, look!"
"What?"
Reminded by An Songyu, the two quickly turned around and saw that even though it was nearing evening and the sky had not yet darkened, the small building of An Songyu's house was almost brightly lit.
"What's going on? How does he have keys to those houses?" An Songyu asked in disbelief.
Yuan Qionghua also frowned and put on a stern face.
Just as she was about to go back, An Jianmin stopped her in time:
"It's nothing major, just today."
"When we get back, we'll arrange for someone to come over and move everything that can be moved from upstairs tomorrow."
"As for the water and electricity, just shut them off in the other rooms!"
"Let's just cancel his room too," Yuan Qionghua said through gritted teeth in anger.
"Why would we stop his electricity? He has water and electricity meters. If he wants to waste them, we have no objection." An Jianmin shook his head indifferently.
It's just a small thing, nothing more than annoyance to them.
As for the rest, it all depends on who can outlast whom.
An Songyu looked back with some concern.
After all, she had heard about the troubles caused by the demolition in Lin Village.
Now that person lives alone upstairs.
Just as my aunt said, if something happens because of the stairwell light, it will be troublesome.
"Don't worry, someone like him wouldn't joke about himself," Yuan Qionghua said calmly, as if she had seen through An Songyu's thoughts.
"What if he really goes all out?" An Songyu was still somewhat uneasy.
“If he’s really willing to go all out, as long as he’s not afraid of pain, I can afford the medical expenses,” Yuan Qionghua said firmly.
However, when they got home and discussed the matter, they felt that it didn't need to be so intense.
So, the next morning, An Songyu specially called the plumber, but he didn't touch the water and electricity in the public areas.
He even replaced the light in the stairwell that the man had mentioned.
However, when it was time to change, he followed An Songyu's instructions and had the remaining sole resident sign the form.
Also signed were a repair request form and a repair order that were made together.
"Is it really necessary to go through all that trouble?" Yuan Qionghua asked, standing outside the door, looking rather helpless.
An Songyu just smiled and didn't say anything more.
Geng Yulan, standing to the side, comforted her sister-in-law, saying, "It's always good to be prepared."
"But these furniture pieces were taken back to Lao Wu's place?"
When An Jianmin's family first opened a fruit wholesale stall, they specifically rented a warehouse to store fruit and other items.
Later, when their village was being demolished, the best pieces of furniture that were originally placed in various farmhouses were selected and moved there.
All the other less desirable items, as well as the secondhand furniture that An Songyu's family had pieced together to save money, were disposed of.
After the new house was built in Liangdi, they brought the furniture over.
However, not all of them were displayed.
After all, these days, some people can sleep on a mere bed board when they rent a room.
What I want is not fully furnished or a nice environment.
Instead, they do whatever saves money.
So, apart from the furniture they used themselves, the rest of that batch of furniture was distributed among various households.
Although it was a spur-of-the-moment decision today, I want to take everything out of An Songyu's house.
However, the furniture in the other houses also needs to be disposed of.
Fortunately, the people they had specially arranged were divided into several groups.
Yuan Qionghua was about to nod without even thinking about it.
But then I remembered something else:
"Ah Yu, how's the construction of the building for your shop going?"
"The house over there?" An Songyu immediately realized, "Auntie wants to put the furniture over there?"
“Yes, it’s not really suitable to put it in a rented room.” Yuan Qionghua nodded without hesitation.
"Of course, when we started our agritourism business, we were thinking about making it a long-term business."
"For the sake of the guests' stay experience, the furniture we bought, while not the best, is at least not particularly bad."
"Tenants are willing to have such furniture placed in rental properties without increasing the rent."
"But there are other people renting houses around here."
"It's not very good that we've been doing this all along."
"As for raising the rent after the furniture is in place... it's not suitable for every place."
"I was thinking that even if I do need to furnish the rental apartment in the future, I don't need to furnish it with such high-quality furniture."
"It would be troublesome to put all this furniture back into the warehouse."
"It would be better to find suitable places for them all at once."
