Grandma Cao's throat sounded like it had a loudspeaker inside.
It's still in that unstable current state.
The tone of voice alternated between high and low.
He shouted weakly, "Get up! Prepare the rent! Be proactive, or I'll have to come to your house and cause trouble!"
Chang Fenfang ignored her completely.
Based on what she had heard and analyzed yesterday, she already knew that her mother-in-law, Cao, was up to no good.
Naturally, they wouldn't pay.
He turned to leave.
But Cao's mother-in-law arrogantly blocked her way: "Didn't you hear what I said?"
Chang Fenfang said indifferently, "Go find Zhou Huai Ren, I have no money!"
"You're a couple, it doesn't matter who you ask! Pay up now, or get out."
Chang Fenfang snorted: "Don't get in my way!"
After saying that, Chang Fenfang left.
Mrs. Cao was somewhat bewildered.
Hey!
Putting everything else aside, Chang Fenfang is always very careful when she talks to me.
I was afraid that something might go wrong and I would cause trouble at her house.
Now that she has the right to manage the property, how could Chang Fenfang treat her like this?
Shouldn't you, Chang Fenfang, be even more humble?
I have the right to manage it!
What does that mean?
You're not convinced, are you?
You two just wait, you'll see!
Although Mrs. Cao suffered an initial setback, it did not deter her from continuing to collect the debt.
So she started knocking on doors from house to house.
If there's no response from inside, or if the response is slow, just kick them!
quite a while.
Finally, all the tenants in the courtyard were gathered in the center of the courtyard.
Grandma Cao looked at the numerous rental properties and gestured with her finger in a circle: "I told you yesterday that you have to pay me rent today. What are you all thinking?"
"Hurry up and hand over the rent!"
Everyone was yawning.
They perked up and all looked at the three old men from the management committee.
Grandpa Zhang coughed and said, "Everyone saw it. Grandma Cao has taken over the management of the compound, and Lin Xiaoru's family did not raise any objections."
"Presumably, they have given their approval. I'd like to make a statement: the compound cannot be without a leader for even a day. Since Granny Cao has earned the Hu family head's approval through her hard work..."
"Then let's not resist anymore, it doesn't matter who we pay the rent to."
"This is my rent, please keep it, Grandma Cao."
Grandma Cao nodded with satisfaction; everything was understood without words.
Great teammate!
He took the thirty yuan rent, wrote it down in his notebook, and his face broke into a deep wrinkle.
That was fucking awesome!
Thirty per household, three hundred for ten households!
There are more than ten households in the entire compound.
More than three hundred yuan, that's two months' salary for my daughter-in-law!
Moreover, this money was obtained for free, without consuming any intelligence or physical strength.
Grandma Cao looked at everyone with a smug smile.
Why aren't you taking the initiative?
Even Grandpa Zhang from the management committee has spoken out, what are you waiting for?
Then, Grandpa Wang also paid his rent.
When it was Grandpa Li's turn, he was unwilling.
But faced with the reality, he had no choice but to pay and then leave in a huff.
Grandma Cao pointed and yelled, "What kind of attitude is this! I'm your landlady! If you don't give me a good look, you'll suffer!"
Grandpa Li paused for a moment, then looked back, his expression displeased. He didn't say much, just snorted and turned to leave.
The other tenants took a look...
Alright.
The three old men from the management committee have all paid their fees, so the management rights are definitely settled.
Otherwise, at this crucial juncture of rent collection, Lin Xiaoru should have already jumped out to voice her objections.
She didn't say anything overly aggressive yesterday.
There's still no sign of them today.
They're definitely in the wrong.
Then pay the money.
As long as Grandma Cao doesn't cause us any trouble, that's fine.
The tenants paid their rent and then went their separate ways.
Grandma Cao happily counted the money.
Hehe, I'm laughing so hard.
These idiots, if they had any sense at all, wouldn't have let themselves get such a huge advantage.
It seems that these people are all fools.
My old lady has lived a long time and knows how to have fun!
This has caused a delay, as this amount of money comes in every month.
He suddenly became someone of high status!
Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Wang secretly pried open the door to Grandma Cao's house.
Mrs. Cao was startled.
"what?"
"Don't play dumb..." Grandpa Zhang licked his lips and said, "We agreed that I would return all my money."
Grandpa Wang nodded: "This was agreed upon yesterday. If our management team hadn't taken the lead in paying, you would have had to put in a lot of effort to collect rent."
Grandma Cao squinted her small eyes and said, "I can afford to wait! We'll collect it sooner or later."
"Damn it, are you trying to cheat us?" Old Zhang said indignantly. "Are you trying to renege on your debt?"
"Can't you see I'm counting money?" Mrs. Cao replied, seemingly ignoring the question.
Grandpa Wang almost lost his temper. "You can count your money without stopping you from returning our money!"
To discard a donkey after it has served its purpose?
Are you saying you can't handle the consequences?
Grandpa Wang sternly warned, "Don't try anything funny. If you don't return the money, we'll throw away all our pride and make our conversation from yesterday public!"
Grandma Cao stood up, wanting to give Grandpa Wang a good stern rebuke.
But then I thought about it again.
If they really break off relations, it won't do them any good.
After all, the documents he fabricated simply couldn't withstand scrutiny.
It's alright if tenants have a herd mentality, as long as there's a leader, they almost never think about whether there's anything fishy going on.
