Hearing this, Guo Er thought it made sense. Seeing Qin San Niang's questioning gaze, he explained, "Madam, there are no rumors of that house being haunted. The reason no one wants to buy it is firstly because the house is too big. It would be expensive to renovate it all, and the house would feel empty and lifeless! Secondly, although the house itself isn't expensive, rebuilding it would still be a considerable expense! Although we are building a charity hall, we still need to ensure it provides shelter from the wind and rain, so the roof and walls will inevitably need to be repaired."
The roof tiles need to be replaced, the courtyard wall needs to be repaired, and all the furniture in the house needs to be replaced. It's practically the same as building a new house. The only difference is that the wall stones and some of the tiles can still be used, saving some money on materials.
The advantage is that the space is large enough; if it's a charity hall, it's definitely sufficient.
"Alright, then take me there and we'll talk later!" At Qin Sanniang's command, Guo Er and his gang of thugs hurriedly made way for her, fawning over her as they led her forward. This attracted frequent glances from the roadside vendors, who were all puzzled. Had Guo Er and his gang lost their minds today?! They were being so respectful to a frail woman!
That woman wasn't anything special; she was just somewhat pretty, but that was about it.
If Guo Er heard this, he would definitely fly into a rage. What do you mean, "weak and frail"?! You haven't seen a storm yet!
Recently, Qin San Niang has been practicing martial arts diligently, and her physical strength has greatly improved. She walks with light steps, and although she still looks unhurried, she is actually very fast. Guo Er and the others initially thought that she was a woman after all and planned to walk slowly to avoid tiring her out. However, after a while, they realized that it was practically like running! It wasn't that they were taking care of her; Qin San Niang was the one waiting for them the whole way!
The group followed, slightly sweating, none of them willing to utter a word of complaint about being at a disadvantage. Fortunately, in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, they arrived at the house that Wang Ergen had mentioned.
The dappled shadows of the trees shone on the plaque above the door, its black paint long since peeled away, obscuring the original characters. Fortunately, although the top of the wall was overgrown with vegetation, it was still relatively intact, and the wall itself was large and sturdy; no wonder it hadn't been taken over by beggars—it seemed an ordinary person couldn't climb it. Only the gate was tightly locked, and the situation inside could not be seen!
Although the courtyard was dilapidated, the copper lock was still sturdy. However, the lock was already rusted, and even if Qin San Niang had a master key, she might not be able to open it. Besides, she did not intend to reveal her family's wealth to so many strangers who had just become acquaintances.
"Madam Qin, we have a way, please wait a moment!" On the way, Madam Qin had already told her that her surname was Qin and that she was the third child in her family. From now on, they could call her Madam Qin or Madam Qin, which was fine either way.
Guo Er thought that Qin San Niang would definitely go in to take a look. Although the lock couldn't be opened, they were hooligans after all and had helped people with this kind of thing many times before. Then, the other two henchmen brought out a wooden ladder from somewhere.
"Third Sister, here's a ladder. We can climb up and take a look." As she spoke, she placed the ladder on a relatively stable spot.
Guo Er sent Gou Dan'er inside first, to be the vanguard. The yard had been abandoned for so many years, it must be overgrown with weeds by now! But this kid was jumping around all day, full of energy!
Dog Egg had no choice but to shrug. Seeing the boss's uncompromising look, and the others acting as if they didn't know anything and not even looking at him, he could only sigh and prepare to start climbing!
Qin San Niang could easily see through their little schemes. These young people were quite interesting, but she was short on time and decided not to waste it on such trivial matters.
"Goudan, come down here, I'll do it!"
Hearing what Qin San Niang said, Gou Dan'er quickly assured her, "Don't worry, San Niang, I'm very agile when it comes to climbing up and down! Just wait here, and if there are any snakes or insects inside, I'll drive them away for you!"
"Yes, yes, Third Sister, let Gou Dan go up and take a look. His father is a snake catcher, so dealing with these snakes and insects is no problem for him!" Guo Er was just teasing Gou Dan, and when it came to dealing with snakes and insects, Gou Dan was the only one they could count on.
If Qin San Niang came, he would really worry that something else might go wrong. Putting everything else aside, she is now their boss, their cash cow! Whether they can get married depends on her!
"Oh? I didn't expect Gou Dan'er to have such abilities. It seems that each of you is quite remarkable; I knew I hadn't misjudged you! Alright then, Gou Dan'er, you can follow me inside!"
After saying this, Qin San Niang took out a grappling hook, easily threw it, and hooked it onto the wall. Then, to everyone's astonishment, she leaped up.
Her nimble, swallow-like movements reminded Guo Er and the others that the woman before them was no ordinary person.
"It's really overgrown with weeds in here. Gou Dan'er, come up quickly. We'll have to use some snake and insect repellent powder!" Qin San Niang didn't care about the gazes of the crowd. Now that she planned to take these people under her control, there was no need to hide anything. Revealing a little bit of her methods would also have a deterrent effect!
"Okay, I'm coming right now!" she said.
“You guys come up here too. I’ll bring the ladder in later, otherwise how are we going to get down?” said Qin San Niang.
Guo Er and the others agreed and climbed onto the wall. They saw Qin San Niang grab the ladder with both hands, and it was easily lifted up and quickly moved inside the wall.
"Oh my god, boss, what kind of kung fu are you practicing? The Mighty Giants?" Gou Dan'er's mouth dropped open in surprise. Nowadays, he wasn't so afraid of Qin San Niang anymore, and he could even crack a joke.
Mighty superpowers? Maybe.
Thinking about how his strength had indeed become unbelievable, no one would believe it if he didn't say he was practicing kung fu.
"Pretty much, it's a skill specifically designed to increase strength. I haven't mastered it yet! You guys work hard with me, and you'll get your share of the rewards." Qin San Niang first offered a rosy picture, and if all else failed, she'd give them some space water to drink, which would also be beneficial for their martial arts training.
She hasn't even reached the pinnacle of her skills yet, and she already possesses such incredible power? This is simply amazing! The boss is indeed a formidable character. Thinking of this, everyone felt that following Qin San Niang was definitely the right choice. She's even more powerful than the leader of the Green Dragon Gang!
