"Hey, I understand, I understand, don't worry."
Grandpa Wang went out with ten big unity notes in his pocket, full of gratitude. Looking at the blue sky above his head, he thought it was a good thing that the yard was sold. He got a hundred yuan for free, and soon his family would be able to live in an apartment. It was a great thing, a great thing!
The people in the yard who were waiting for Mr. Wang to come out had long lost their patience. When they saw the old man go out, they looked at the sky. What was there to see on this day? They were so angry that they pulled the old man towards the crowd and said, "Uncle, what's going on? Are they going to force us out?"
"Bah, let's go to hell with him. With so many of us, I don't believe we can't beat those three men."
"That's right, just do it. We're not moving anyway."
Old Master Wang's good mood lasted less than a minute before being ruined by these idiots. "Alright, alright, what's the point of fighting and killing all day long? Stop talking nonsense. Jianguo, you go in now. Everyone else, please wait."
Although Zhong Jianguo was a little confused when his name was called, he still followed Mr. Wang into the house.
Seeing Shen Anning and Peng Zhe sitting in their seats, Zhong Jianguo didn't know where to step for a moment.
"Mr. Zhong Jianguo, right? No need to be restrained. Please take a seat."
Zhong Jianguo came to his senses. This was his Uncle Wang's house. What was he afraid of? Why did he feel that these two young men were so rude? They really thought he was the master. He sat down angrily and said in a bad tone, "Tell me, what are you going to do? I'm warning you, hitting someone is illegal."
"Mr. Zhong, you misunderstood. I heard from Uncle Wang that your family lives next door to his, and you also have a north room and an ear room, right?"
"So what? What's it to you?" Although Zhong Jianguo spoke harshly, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Why did Uncle Wang take over his family? He was forcing the cow to drink water even though it didn't want to!
Shen Anning was not angry because of Zhong Jianguo's bad tone. Her voice did not waver at all, and she continued slowly: "Mr. Zhong, I think you misunderstood. I will give you a hundred yuan."
"What?"
"What do you mean, you're not going to give me a hundred dollars? Is that true? You can't lie to me!"
Zhong Jianguo pinched the flesh on his thigh hard, grimacing in pain. Then he heard the young girl continue, "You heard me right, and I didn't lie. I bought the house, so it's mine. There's no doubt about that. But I hate trouble, so I'm giving you 100 yuan. Whether you use it to rent a better place or buy a house is up to you. I only have one request: you move out within three days and vacate the house for me."
"Can Mr. Zhong do this?"
"Ah, yes, I must." Zhong Jianguo felt like his heart was about to jump out. No, this was not the scenario he had imagined. It would be okay to use money to ask people to move out, but what he regretted most at the moment was that his parents lived with him. It would be much better if they lived in different places. He would definitely suggest that Shen Anning and the others buy a yard.
"Okay, Mr. Zhong, please sign here if you have no objection. Xiaozhe, count out the hundred dollars."
One after another, people came into the house, and the first thing everyone who came out did was to look up at the sky. Well, the sunlight was so dazzling, and they liked it!
In less than an hour, all the dozen or so households in the yard were dealt with, and no one discussed how much compensation they received, because Shen An Ning would always say when they were about to leave, "I will not admit to giving you so much money," which led everyone to think that they had taken advantage.
Little did they know that this was all a routine!
Peng Zhe watched his sister's move from beginning to end, and was stunned from beginning to end. Only Shen Anning remained sober when she asked him to count the money. He left the courtyard and watched everyone happily packing up their things to move.
Peng Zhe: After all, this world is different from what I thought!
The second courtyard house bought from Liu Chenggong was nearby, so the few of them walked there.
On the way, Peng Zhe looked at Shen An Ning with admiration in his eyes: "Sister, tell me honestly, where did you learn this? I thought that even if we didn't fight today, we would at least have a fight." Besides, the money spent was not that much. A dozen households in a yard together cost less than a thousand yuan. The key was that everyone was happy and willing to move. They just said that when they left, they would dismantle all the sheds in the yard and clean up the garbage.
Shen Anning had no way to explain where she learned it. She couldn't say that she had experienced too much and seen too much in her previous life and figured it out.
"Xiaozhe, I have a question for you."
"Tell me, before we came here today, were we prepared to lose money?"
Peng Zhe nodded. Wasn’t this agreed upon before?
"Yes, think about it. We are going to spend money anyway. There are three possible outcomes of this. One is that both the spender and the recipient are unhappy. One is that neither the spender nor the recipient cares. The third is that both the spender and the recipient are happy, and both sides resolve everything amicably."
"Do you think it's worth spending the thousand dollars?"
"Of course. The sooner they move out, the sooner we can start decorating. No matter what business we use this yard for in the future, we can earn back the money quickly." Peng Zhe understood after he finished speaking.
"Sister, I really learned a lot today. When we get to that courtyard later, let me do it. I'll give it a try."
Looking at her cousin who was eager to try, Shen Anning was naturally happy. The task of making money in the future would be handed over to this younger brother. She was determined to shine in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.
"Okay, I'll be your assistant later, and leave the counting of money to me."
The same routine, the same words, Peng Zhe, who had seen it once, used them with ease.
Looking at another signed guarantee letter for vacating the house, Peng Zhe flicked the paper with his fingers and said, "Another yard, done!"
Over the next two days, Shen Anning and Peng Zhe used their financial resources to "invite out" the tenants of the courtyard house they had purchased.
With so many more courtyard houses, Peng Zhe can also expand the scale of his private cuisine. The Chen family's ancestral craftsmanship is good, and "Xingwei" has been doing very well since it opened. There are often calls for reservations at noon and in the evening but there are no seats available. In addition, Chen's father has many brothers and sisters who are from the same school and have no good jobs yet. Peng Zhe also wants to take advantage of this rare opportunity to recruit these masters to his own team.
The courtyard prepared for the eldest brother and sister-in-law to live in has been tidied up, and the craftsmen happened to be free. Shen An Ning was worried about leaving the courtyard to people who didn't know the business to repair it, so she asked Master Lei's successor to recruit more familiar craftsmen and contract the courtyard to him. In this way, with more people, the repair time would naturally be shortened.
