Chapter 607: Prying
Xiao Li got out of the car and said, "Comrade Tan Chen, the people who were doing business in Pengcheng are back. Mr. Tan asked me to follow you back, but I didn't expect you to have already arrived home."
Tan Chen asked: "Is it urgent?"
Xiao Li spread his hands and said, "As soon as Chen Wei arrived, Mr. Tan sent me out to look for you. I don't know the details yet."
Tan Chen looked at Shang Ruoting and said, "Wife, how about you take your mother and two brothers to the Li family's old house first, and my father-in-law and I will go back to the Tan family to take a look?"
"Okay, you guys go to the Tan family, and I'll take care of the Li family's old house."
After the discussion, Tan Chen drove Shang Lifeng back to the Tan family again.
Shang Ruoting has now realized that the purchase of the Li family's old house cannot be delayed, so she sent the four little ones back to the courtyard and asked Old Lady Shang and others to take care of them first. She was ready to start her own "business of stealing the business".
They asked Uncle Li to take them and their children to the Li family's old house.
The landlord was about to leave when he saw Uncle Li coming with a group of strangers.
"Uncle Li, what are you doing?"
Uncle Li pointed at Shang Ruoting and the others and introduced them, "Peng Xiang, these are my relatives. They liked your yard. I'll bring them to see it."
He deliberately didn't say that he knew someone had already paid a deposit for the yard, so as to prevent the other party from asking for an exorbitant price.
Peng Xiang seemed quite down-to-earth. "Uncle Li, to be honest, this courtyard has just been reserved."
Uncle Li pretended to be shocked and said, "What? Someone bought it so quickly?"
Peng Xiang nodded. "Yes, that person just gave me a 500 yuan deposit and said he would pay the balance within a month."
To let Shang Ruoting and the others know more, Uncle Li asked casually, "I see. I wonder how much you sold your yard for?"
When asked about the price of the yard, Peng Xiang was obviously a little proud.
"Uncle Li, I said from the beginning that I would not sell this yard for less than 32,000 yuan. Of course, I'm selling it for 32,000 yuan."
Uncle Li felt that his mission had been completed and looked at Shang Ruoting, meaning that it was up to him to handle the rest of the matter!
Shang Ruoting took a step forward calmly and said sweetly, "Big Brother, I came to see this yard a few days ago. I knew your price was quite high, so I wanted to come back to you once I had enough money. But I didn't expect that the yard would be sold just as I had gathered enough money..."
While speaking, Shang Ruoting also showed a look of regret.
In fact, Peng Xiang was not willing to wait a month after receiving the deposit to collect the balance. If the price of this yard was not high and it was not difficult to find a buyer, he might not have only collected a deposit of 500 yuan today and agreed to give the buyer a month to prepare the balance.
"From what you said, if I buy this yard, I can pay the full amount directly?"
Shang Ruoting deliberately pretended to be lost.
"Yes, I have already gathered all the money. Of course I want to pay the full amount directly."
Seeing that Peng Xiang was somewhat moved, Shang Ruoting continued to add fuel to the fire.
"Well... since I can't buy this yard, I can only look at other options. I believe that if I pay the full price directly, I should be able to buy it cheaper."
Peng Qiang was indeed tempted. His asking price of 32,000 was not low. What if the person who had just paid the deposit changed his mind and would rather not pay the deposit? Wouldn't that make him a fool?
"If you can guarantee to pay the full amount for my yard immediately, I can consider selling it to you."
Shang Ruoting feigned surprise and said, "Brother, this isn't a good idea, is it? If the buyer comes looking for you, you won't be able to explain yourself."
Peng Qiang waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, I will return the deposit to him when the time comes."
Chen Shurong stood beside her daughter and listened to their conversation. When she saw Shang Ruoting said she wanted to pay the full amount for the yard, she became a little anxious.
My daughter just got married and is still in school. Our family also bought a new courtyard house. Where can we get so much money?
"Tingting..."
Shang Ruoting saw what Chen Shurong was thinking at a glance, winked at her, and signaled her not to worry.
Then she looked at Peng Xiang again.
"In that case, I'll give you a deposit of 1,000 yuan first, and we can go through the transfer procedures tomorrow. I'll definitely give you the rest then."
After saying that, Shang Ruoting took out one thousand yuan from the space under the cover of her pocket and handed it to the other party.
Peng Xiang took the money with satisfaction. "Okay, I'll write you a receipt right away. However, let me be frank. If you can't give me the remaining payment tomorrow, our deal will be canceled, and I won't return your deposit."
"That's no problem, big brother. Just write this down on the receipt. I promise I'll keep my word."
Having said that, Shang Ruoting would not be so stupid as to ignore her own interests.
"Brother, I've given you this deposit. If you change your mind after tonight, you must return it double."
Shang Ruoting doesn't have a very high level of trust in Peng Xiang. If he can breach the contract with others, there is no guarantee that he will not do the same to herself. She must put some restrictions on him.
