"No, are you guys sick?"
Grandpa Zhang shouted in the courtyard, "It was Granny Cao who scammed you! What does it have to do with me? I was scammed too!"
Grandpa Wang earnestly advised, "We were all kept in the dark and didn't know anything! We are victims too."
The tenant shouted:
“We had some doubts about Grandma Cao’s management of the compound. If the management team hadn’t taken the lead in paying rent, would we have followed suit?”
"That's right, you guys always want to meddle in every little thing, but when it comes to something serious, you can't even tell the difference!"
"Isn't it the management who keeps urging us to pay rent?"
"The management committee must get this money back. If they don't, we'll go to the leaders at Linxi Coal Mine!"
"Yes, go to the leadership and have you all dismissed!"
"What nonsense! Maybe you and Granny Cao have some unspeakable secrets between you. You're so quick to hand over the money!"
"Huh? Is the management committee also involved in the fraud?"
I think it's possible.
"Call the police! Arrest the entire management committee and interrogate them thoroughly!"
The tenants, in a fit of rage, berated the management team mercilessly.
Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Wang panicked instantly.
Did the management team benefit from this incident?
have.
Mrs. Cao agreed to reduce the rent for the two of them and not to interfere too much with the custody documents.
At the time, the two of them were also bewitched.
With the mentality that "a fool wouldn't pass up a good deal," I jumped in.
Upon closer inspection, there are more or less some problems.
If Linxi Coal Mine finds out, it will be incredibly embarrassing!
Furthermore, they will be stripped of their appointments as management officers.
For Zhang and Wang, who were obsessed with officialdom, this was a matter of life and death.
Grandpa Zhang quickly waved to reassure them: "We are just like you, innocent victims."
"Okay, on behalf of the management committee, I'd like to say that we will definitely get the rent back for you, alright?"
Grandpa Wang looked at Grandpa Zhang, who was taking on so much responsibility, with surprise.
Are you going to try and get it back?
Grandma Cao is the kind of person who eats meat without spitting out the bones; once money is in her hands, how could she possibly give it back?
Grandpa Zhang winked at Grandpa Wang: Let's stabilize the situation first!
Grandpa Wang immediately understood and quickly said, "Yes, yes. Our management team will help everyone collect their rent!"
The tenants clearly have a lot of distrust towards management.
But Grandpa Zhang still managed to use his prestige to quell the situation.
After the crowd dispersed, Grandpa Zhang wiped the sweat from his brow and came up to Wu Changfeng: "Look at what Grandma Cao is up to!"
"We've really been scammed!"
"Look, how about we pay you back after we get our rent back?"
Wu Changfeng laughed and said, "Uncle Zhang, how would you like to take it?"
"Why don't you ask the person involved?"
Are you confident in your abilities? Or are you just trying to stall for time?
Wu Changfeng's words were very disrespectful.
Strictly speaking...
After dealing with Cao's mother-in-law, the original landlord, who hadn't received rent, could have easily evicted the tenant.
Old Wang said with a forced smile, "Young man, you have to give us some time, you can't chase us away."
Wu Changfeng nodded: "That won't happen. But I also know Granny Cao's personality, so what should we do about this?"
"We'll figure something out."
Wu Changfeng suggested, "How about this? You definitely won't get it back from Granny Cao, so why don't you ask Widow Cao instead?"
"She definitely knows where the money is kept."
"Although we were cheated and suffered a loss, blatant robbery is also uncivilized, isn't it?"
Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Wang exchanged a glance, then said, "Alright, let's try to persuade Widow Cao."
Afterwards, Wu Changfeng helped Lin Xiaoru, who was satisfied with watching the excitement, back to the backyard.
Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Wang sighed.
"I shouldn't have been greedy for small gains in the first place."
"Stop talking, let's quickly figure out a solution to the problem."
"Where is Widow Cao?"
"He went with the police officer."
"Oh, please don't let this get to Linxi Coal Mine. I've never been a leader in my life, so I'm just hoping to have some fun now."
What's the point of saying which one?
After discussing it for a long time, the two agreed to go to Fu Dazhuang and ask him to persuade Widow Cao to take out the money.
Grandpa Wang and Fu Dazhuang didn't get along, so Grandpa Zhang had to go by himself.
Knock on Hu Dazhuang's door.
Grandpa Zhang sat down and said, "I've been doing all this every day, and it's even gotten me involved."
Fu Dazhuang laughed and said, "Then you've been made a management committee cadre. How tiring that must be."
Grandpa Zhang glared at him: "I'm counting on this position to get you some benefits!"
"What does this have to do with me!"
"I'm not going to give you all the remaining benefits from last year? I've always treated you like a son."
Fu Dazhuang chuckled and said, "Of course, Uncle Zhang, don't worry, I'll take care of you when you get old."
"That's the only thing that sounds good," Grandpa Zhang continued. "Let's not get into that. You need to find a way to get Widow Cao to return the money the tenants have paid."
Fu Dazhuang shook his head: "This is too difficult for me. She always takes money from me. When will I ever take money from her?"
"I'm not going. I'll just pay another rent."
“These tenants are all wicked; if I get arrested, they'll just stand by and watch. None of them are good people!”
Grandpa Zhang said, "How can I be a cadre if I don't hand over the money? Don't you want the benefits that Linxi Coal Mine provides?"
Fu Dazhuang stammered, "You want it?"
"Then you have to keep my job!" Grandpa Zhang said earnestly. "Besides, it wasn't originally the Cao family's money; it was money they swindled from everyone. It's only reasonable for them to give it back."
