Without the house, the title deed is useless.

At this time, loud laughter was heard from a mansion in Runan City.

"It's just a house, we can just tear it down." A fat middle-aged man in the hall laughed while patting his belly. "You let me name my price and compete with me for the space without even asking who I am."

When he said this, he thought of something and looked at Hu Gui who was standing beside him.

"Well, did you tell her who I am?" he asked.

Hu Gui smiled awkwardly.

"Master Yan, I, I haven't said it yet." he said.

The Yan family is a wealthy and powerful family in Runan City. They have both money and power. After all, many government affairs rely on the help of local gentry.

The eldest son of the Yan family has already started to run the family business for his father and is looking to start a business to prove himself. Jiulingtang is located in a good location, and Hu Gui wants to sell it, so Old Man Yan wants to buy it.

Although the procedures have not yet been handed over, Mr. Yan’s words are final and this is set in stone.

Hu Gui really didn't expect that someone from the Jun family would come back, but now that they have come back, he is so angry that of course he has to come and talk to the old man of the Yan family to see what to do.

Who would have thought that Mr. Yan had such a bad temper that he actually had his house demolished in the middle of the night.

Hu Gui wiped the sweat from his head.

Mr. Yan shook his head in disapproval.

"That's your fault." He said with a smile, "Why didn't you tell them that I was the one who wanted to buy the land? If they knew that it was my Yan family who wanted to buy it, they probably wouldn't have said something so childish as to just ask for the price."

Is the Yan family short of money? Man Runan went to ask.

How much does a piece of land cost? How much does face cost?

Hu Gui followed suit and laughed.

"But, Master Yan," he said carefully, "that was the young lady of the Jun family. You didn't see her yesterday. When the neighbors heard that it was the young lady of the Jun family who came back, they were very enthusiastic. After this incident, I was afraid that the young lady of the Jun family would not stop and make a fuss..."

Mr. Yan clicked his tongue.

"Miss Jun's grandfather was a doctor, and he benefited the people. Miss Jun's father was an official, and he was loyal to the country. But Miss Jun doesn't bully others." He said, patting the title deed on the table. "I have the title deed, and she can't just ignore it by relying on her grandfather's achievements, right? Her grandfather and father can't let her rely on them forever, right?"

The last sentence is the most important.

When a person dies, it is like a lamp going out. Whether the descendants will benefit from their deeds depends on the kind of people they are.

If the descendant of this Jun family is a scholar and wants to be an official in the future, then the achievements of his grandfather and father will naturally become his helper, and he will be mentioned repeatedly and remembered.

But this descendant of the Jun family is not only not a scholar, but also a girl, who is going to marry someone else's girl with a changed surname.

It's useless for anyone to remember the achievements of the Jun family father and son.

When things really got out of hand, the government would understand this. There was no point in offending the gentry who had ruled the country for generations just for a girl from another family.

Hu Gui naturally knew this truth, and he forced out an ugly smile.

"Go ahead, go ahead. The house collapsed on your land anyway. For the sake of Master Jun, give her some money. Let her buy another house somewhere else." Master Yan said, "You won't suffer a loss with this money. You can add some to the price of the land. This is also my way of thanking Master Jun and Master Jun for their contributions."

That's great.

Hu Gui breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Yan is a kind man, Mr. Yan is a kind man." He thanked him repeatedly.

Mr. Yan waved his hands with a hint of arrogance and impatience.

"Go ahead, go ahead."

Hu Gui arrived at the street where Jiulingtang was located with trepidation. From a distance he saw that the crowd had not dispersed yet and was getting bigger and bigger.

"Miss Jun, why don't you come to my shop and take a rest first."

"Yeah, kid, don't worry."

The people around were talking at once to comfort him, looking very uneasy.

"Who did this?" Lei Zhonglian couldn't help but ask.

As soon as he said this, the neighbors who were originally surrounding him took a step back, looking uneasy.

"We don't know either," said a woman. "It was dark and everyone was asleep."

"Yeah, yeah, I didn't know when I fell asleep."

Others all spoke up.

They definitely know who did it.

Demolition of the house was such a huge noise, it was impossible for these people not to hear or see it.

Who scares them so much?

Lei Zhonglian frowned and was about to ask again, but Miss Jun, who had remained silent all the time, stopped him.

"Don't ask," she said. "It doesn't matter who did it."

It doesn’t matter who did it?

This isn't a gambling game at the Yangcheng Lantern Festival. If you lose, you lose. You have to accept the loss. It doesn't matter who you lose to.

It's obvious that someone stole your money before you even set up the gambling table.

Or maybe it's better to have less trouble than more. Now I have to go out to avoid my enemies, and it won't be good to cause trouble.

Lei Zhonglian stopped talking and took a step back quietly.

He was really poor and breathless, not even daring to ask loudly. Hu Gui, who was watching from the side, sighed, felt more confident, and straightened his back.

"Make way, make way," he said, pushing aside the onlookers blocking his way. "What are you looking at? Is it good?"

It really doesn’t look good.

The onlookers stepped back and looked at Hu Gui standing in front of Miss Jun's carriage.

Miss Jun looked calm, and her lame husband looked even calmer, looking at the ruined house with some curiosity.

"I've never seen a house collapse so suddenly."

As if he could see what was in Hu Gui's mind, the young man explained it to him seriously.

“It’s quite interesting.”

What's so interesting about having your own house destroyed? I don't really understand you young people, Hu Gui thought.

"Ms. Jun, you see, this is really unexpected." He ignored the young man, sighed, and said to Miss Jun with a heavy face.

"Yeah, it's such a surprise." Miss Jun said, smiling, "I really didn't expect it to be like this. I thought it would just cost more money, but I didn't expect it to cost nothing at all."

This sounds weird but also seems normal.

She originally wanted to buy land for her house, but the other party demolished her house swiftly, showing a threatening and frightening attitude. It was obvious that the other party would not agree to sell the land, so she naturally didn't have to spend any money.

But she looked really happy when she said that.

Are you happy because you can defraud some money?

Hu Gui was lost in thought and coughed lightly.

"Miss Jun, you see that things have come to this, why don't you find another house." He said, looking at Miss Jun with some sympathy and apology, "Miss Jun, you are planning to live here, this house facing the street is not good, I know a better place, more suitable for living, to express my apology, I am willing to buy a new house for Miss Jun as compensation."

Miss Jun shook her head.

"Ms. Jun, although it is shameless to say this, I really care about you two." Hu Gui said anxiously, "Look at you..."

One is little, one is lame, and the other is a dull servant. It is obvious that they have nowhere else to go and have come to live in Runan. If one wants to settle down in one place and live a good life, there are certain people and people whom one cannot afford to offend.

"You are too young. You can't be impulsive about some things," he said politely.

Miss Jun smiled.

"No, Uncle Hu, you misunderstood." She said, getting off the car, "I didn't come here to stay. I came here to revive the reputation of Jiulingtang."
