It was rare for a buyer to be willing to take on this mess, and Old Man Chang should have been happy to entertain him. But at this moment, he felt extremely uncomfortable and couldn't smile at all!
Granny Chang brought the tea, and as she walked back with the tray, she nudged him with her elbow.
"You, you're always wearing that sour face now!"
Because she was looked down upon for her poor family background, Granny Chang only saw Chang Xiaogu's lover a few times from a distance. So much time has passed that she can only vaguely remember what he looks like.
Last time at her cousin Song's mansion, she wouldn't have remembered that person if Old Man Chang hadn't reminded her.
Old Man Chang glanced at the mirror hanging on the wall; his expression was worse than if he were crying.
Old Man Chang wiped his face painfully. He had raised his son, and the debt of gratitude for raising him was greater than the debt of giving birth to him. No one, no matter who, could take his little sister's only flesh and blood away from him!
Old Man Chang regained his energy and walked back with gritted teeth.
He became listless as soon as he got back.
His youngest son, whom he had cherished since childhood, was circling around the man like a lapdog—a sight he had never seen before.
Previously, he was proud that his youngest son had inherited his younger sister Chang Yinhua's innate scholarly air, and was the most educated person in the family, intelligent and polite.
Seeing this scene before him, Old Man Chang was heartbroken. Through these two people, he seemed to see his younger sister, Chang Yinhua, desperately trying to please that man!
He couldn't hold back any longer!
Old Man Chang was clenching his fists and preparing to approach when Granny Chang came over and patted him on the shoulder.
"Hongyu is here!"
When Zhou Hongyu arrived at Shuangdong Hutong, she saw this strange scene as soon as she entered the door.
The father-in-law gritted his teeth and looked at the two people talking on the side with a strange expression.
Chang Guofu and the middle-aged man he brought along, who seemed to be a buyer, were even stranger. They didn't look like business people; they looked like they were eager to become his son!
After Zhou Hongyu greeted him, Chang Guofu continued to flit around the middle-aged man like a butterfly, so she sat down and slowly drank her tea.
I took a few sips of tea.
I turned around and almost gave her a big fright.
The father-in-law clutched his chest, as if he were about to suffer a heart attack at any moment.
With the exorbitant medical bills flashing before her eyes, Zhou Hongyu disregarded past grievances and turned to ask, "Dad, are you alright?"
not good!
Old Man Chang shook his head stiffly, staring resentfully at the scene before him, and silently slammed his fist on the table.
This is his youngest son, whom he has doted on since he was a child!
Even his youngest son has never been this filial to him!
Old Chang felt wronged!
Zhou Hongyu sat down and drank a few more sips of tea. The tea at home was so-so, and it tasted bland. She wanted to finish her business as soon as possible and leave.
Zhou Hongyu put down her teacup and stood up: "Third brother, how much is this boss willing to offer?"
Chang Guofu and A-Kuan both looked up, forgetting about the important matter at hand!
Ah Kuan coughed, putting on his big boss air: "Xiao Chang, there's no need for me to say anything more. Go over and explain things to them!"
Chang Guofu nodded with a smile, but Old Man Chang wanted to beat his chest and stamp his feet when he saw his obsequious appearance.
What happened to his youngest son?
Even if they don't know their own background, is there a magnetic field between biological father and son that makes them immediately reveal their true colors upon meeting?
But this is the son he raised for decades!
Old Chang was in excruciating pain, and his expression turned quite ugly.
Chang Guofu approached and said, “Although the house is in Houhai and is quite large with four courtyards, the buyer still thinks it is too dilapidated. Even if they buy it, the future repair work will still be a huge expense, so they are asking for 50,000 yuan!”
Fifty thousand? Haha!
No need to even think about it!
Zhou Hongyu laughed, "Don't bully those who don't know anything about this. The house isn't worth much, but the land is!"
Before Zhou Hongyu could object, Old Man Chang spoke up first.
"Guofu, 50,000 yuan is too little. Go and negotiate again!"
Old Man Chang suddenly felt a surge of anger; he just didn't want that person to buy his house so easily!
He admitted that he was jealous!
Chang Guofu was taken aback. He had prepared for Zhou Hongyu's opposition and had prepared a lot of lines, but he didn't expect that the person opposing him would be Old Man Chang, who had always been on his side.
"dad……"
He frowned: "Ever since you handed the house over to me, I've been in charge of finding a buyer. I know better than anyone how much this house is worth! Fifty thousand yuan will do. Given the current condition of the house, if we delay any longer, it will only get worse and worse, and then we won't be able to sell it for a good price!"
Chang Guofu had his own calculations. He knew, of course, that the 50,000 yuan was a bargain, but he was happy to do it.
Because the buyer was his biological father, and in the end his biological father got the better deal, his biological father would remember the good he did for him.
Zhou Hongyu thought she could get half the money by causing trouble? Ha!
Old Chang's mind wasn't on selling the house.
He grabbed Chang Guofu and asked urgently, "Guofu, where did you meet this person? You two seem to get along very well!"
Upon hearing this, Chang Guofu seemed to be stung by a nail. He suddenly shook off Old Man Chang's hand and shouted sternly.
"Dad, what are you thinking? It's rare for a buyer to be willing to make an offer. I'm treating them like royalty. I'm only thinking about our family!"
Old Chang looked embarrassed.
Zhou Hongyu watched from the sidelines, but as an outsider, she discerned an unusual meaning.
This is...this is...something's strange!
She looked at the buyer's face again and compared it with Chang Guofu's appearance, and found several similarities between the two.
She used to wonder why Chang Hongbing and Chang Xingwang, two of the three brothers, seemed so upright and were clearly the offspring of Granny Chang, while Chang Guofu had a somewhat sleazy air about him, like a venomous snake lurking in a corner, poised to bite its prey.
She didn't like Chang Guofu from the first time she met him because of his cold and vicious nature.
