Feng Meijun took her words to heart. She realized that her anxiety wasn't useless. Taking advantage of this moment, Fan Tao's husband handed the cup to Feng Meijun.
Feng Meijun took the teacup; the tea had been brewed by Xu Keke and the others when they came in, and it was already warm. Feng Meijun drank the tea in one gulp. Then she looked at Fang San and Xu Keke, "They're the ones who came to see the house today, right?"
After Fan Tao confirmed it, Feng Meijun put her cup on the table and said, "Okay, tell me, how much do you want to rent it for? Our yard is the same size as Taozi's. They gave me fifty yuan before the New Year, but I didn't rent it out."
Before Fang San could reply, Xu Keke said, "Eighty, I guess. This location is convenient for storing goods or something, and it's close to the street. However, there are still people living in this house, so I'm afraid we can't move in anytime soon."
Hearing Xu Keke say eighty, Feng Meijun immediately perked up. She had just said fifty, but actually she wanted fifty, but the other family hadn't agreed.
"Don't worry, I'll make them move out today."
Xu Keke quickly waved her hand, "No, you misunderstood me. I just overheard a bit. We rented this courtyard to do business, and we believe in making money through harmony. We can't let you and your daughter be at odds because of us. Otherwise, we won't feel at ease using it later. And if something else happens in the future, we're afraid of the trouble."
“What I mean is, why don’t you ask first, just in case they want to rent your courtyard? After all, it’s first come, first served, and they’re probably interested in marrying your daughter. They might even be more willing to pay than we are. If that’s the case, you can let them rent it for now. Anyway, we’re still fixing up the front storefront. If they find a better place and don’t want to rent it anymore, we can take it over. That way, no one will lose face.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Meijun had an idea. She didn't want to fall out with her daughter.
She recognized the man earlier; his name was Li Shaojie, her boyfriend from university. She disliked him because his family was from the countryside and refused to agree to be with him. Yujie made a scene at home several times, and eventually they broke up.
Now, she doesn't know how the two of them have gotten together again. They want to live in their own yard, so she'll make this family pay the rent. But looking like a poor family, she really doesn't believe they could come up with that much money.
In that case, it won't be that we don't let them stay, it will be that they can't afford to stay.
