Chapter 287 Dong Hongcai
"How do we cancel the lease?" someone asked tentatively.
The agent glanced at their expressions and, without saying anything, clearly stated their request to terminate the lease.
Because the young man called the police, almost nothing was touched in the house.
Even the temporary restoration of electricity to the first floor was done after specifically consulting with the police.
As for taking my luggage from his room, I asked the police about it after explaining the lease termination process today.
After the agent finished speaking, he deliberately went to check the room with a flashlight.
Once you've confirmed there are no problems, just say it's okay.
In reality, other tenants didn't have to go through such a hassle to terminate their leases.
This place is going to be demolished anyway, so basically unless they want to take all the furniture, they won't bother to check it out.
Although tonight's so-called inspection was just for show.
Seeing the agent's attitude, the young man's family members did not look too good.
However, now that the agency has confirmed the details, the young man's family members are hesitant:
"Does it have to be decided tonight?"
"We're not the person in question either. How about we take this back to my brother?"
"Besides, it's too late tonight!"
"There are no lights upstairs either, and it will take us quite a while to pack our things. It's not very convenient for you to stay with us the whole time, is it?"
"So what exactly do you want?" The agent asked, arms crossed, looking at the group with obvious impatience.
The group looked at each other, and in the end, the young man's father reiterated their inconvenience and wanted to go back first so that the young man could sign the document.
After all, he and the landlord are the two parties to the rental contract.
They and the intermediaries were merely acting as intermediaries, entrusting each other with tasks.
After considering it for a short while, the agent finally agreed to the request.
They agreed on a time to meet again the next day before going downstairs together.
When An Jia received the call, Yuan Qionghua wasn't entirely surprised by the outcome.
The other members of the An family were also speechless, and some even asked doubtfully:
"Are they really coming to collect their luggage tomorrow?"
An Jianping seemed to be deep in thought for a while before reassuring everyone: "It should be."
The next morning, while An Songyu was still busy in the Happiness Garden, she received a message from Yuan Qionghua:
"Ah Yu, your dad is really amazing. He said he could do it, and he really could."
An Songyu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly.
She knew that her aunt had called her specifically for a reason, and it certainly wasn't just to praise her father.
Sure enough, Yuan Qionghua's voice continued to come through the phone:
"This morning, his family came to the store in person, with his autograph, to terminate the lease."
"I just refunded their deposit in full and then asked someone to go with them to move their luggage."
"That's great!" An Songyu replied with a smile, then asked:
"Aunt, how did you feel about them when you saw them?"
Last night, An Songyu was actually thinking a lot.
Why was her father so certain?
After a night of reflection, An Songyu seemed to have gained some insight.
However, since she did not have any further contact with the young man who rented the room, An Songyu was not entirely sure whether her guess was correct.
"Of course they had dark faces! Those forced smiles made me feel bad for them." Yuan Qionghua couldn't help but laugh when she thought of their expressions.
There was nothing she could do; she had become genuinely annoyed with that young man lately.
An Songyu was pondering a certain possibility when she heard Yuan Qionghua's laughter, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
If her guess is true.
I doubt my aunt will be so happy then.
That evening, even when several families gathered together, there were still more people than in An Songyu's family.
But compared to the other families, An Songyu's family is definitely the busiest.
So, Jiang Shanshan will cook dinner tonight and invite everyone over to eat.
Also present were Jiang Shanshan's eldest sister's children.
"Hongcai, it's been a long time since we've seen you here!" The An family members greeted him immediately upon seeing him.
Dong Hongcai greeted the elders with some embarrassment.
Jiang Shanshan greeted everyone as she ate, and said with a smile:
"It's not that he hasn't come over in a long time, it's that he's unemployed now!"
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look over.
Dong Hongcai called out somewhat embarrassedly, "Auntie..."
"What good is it to call me?" Jiang Shanshan glared at Dong Hongcai with annoyance.
Dong Hongcai couldn't help but shrink back.
He was still at work and couldn't come during the last Jiangcun banquet.
When he got home, his mother said that his aunt's attitude had become increasingly aggressive lately.
Dong Hongcai didn't believe it at the time.
After all, in his mind, compared to his mother who had always struggled in their own home, he was much more important.
Jiang Shanshan, who separated from her husband and lived independently shortly after getting married, had a mild temperament.
But it wasn't until he actually arrived today that Dong Hong realized what was happening.
Hmm... Jiangcun now is not the Jiangcun of the past.
My aunt now is not the same as she used to be.
"If you don't want to work with your dad and the others, then what do you want to do?" Jiang Shanshan asked directly at the dinner table.
This clearly shows they don't treat these families as outsiders!
Dong Hongcai's face turned bright red.
After graduating from high school, he failed to get into university, so he worked and studied with the uncles and elders in the village.
I've done almost everything.
In the end, the job I did the longest was car repair, which I learned a couple of years ago.
If the boss hadn't made money in the past two years and planned to find a good place to run the business properly, he wouldn't have lost his job.
Of course, he was someone who had been trained with great difficulty, and the boss originally hoped to bring him along.
However, Dong Hongcai's skill was arguably the most proficient among the apprentices.
The boss's nephew, who had only been there for a year, already had some ideas.
He didn't know what he said to his boss.
Two days ago, when the boss talked to him again, he started asking about his relatives in Jiangcun.
And they hoped he could introduce all these guests to them.
Dong Hongcai didn't actually care about helping to introduce customers.
He also knew about the usual practices in his shop.
If he actually introduces the person to the family, he can at least guarantee that his relative won't be scammed.
And that's just how the market is now.
Car repair is a technical skill.
No matter which store you go to, you're bound to get ripped off if you don't know anything about it.
But if you go to their store, Dong Hongcai can at least guarantee that the money they make from them is genuine.
Instead of exaggerating minor issues into major ones just to make money.
Even when there's no problem, you can create one!
But being told this by his boss, both openly and subtly, made him less than happy.
After all, he was just a repairman, earning only a basic wage.
Even if he brings in clients, he doesn't earn any extra income.
Most importantly, seeing the boss's attitude, he felt that if he really introduced his relatives over, they would probably get ripped off too.
Dong Hongcai is quite shrewd.
After all, relatives last a lifetime!
But this job doesn't guarantee it will be for life!
Moreover, the thought of having to do this kind of work for the rest of his life made him feel that he would rather go back to working with his uncles!
