Chapter 201: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
The old village chief said: "What other reason could there be? Of course, Cheng Chunhua is afraid that others will get a bargain, so her family wants to occupy two residential plots!"
Xu Fang was stunned when he heard this.
The village chief continued, "They were reluctant to give up the Cheng family's homestead, and they also wanted to grab the Wang family's homestead, fearing that they would suffer a loss."
"The village had tried to persuade them to demolish the old house before. It was so ugly standing at the entrance of the village. They were afraid that their homestead would be lost if the house was demolished, so they refused to demolish the house, so the yard has been empty ever since."
Before Xu Fang even met the couple, she had already anticipated how difficult they would be, but when she thought of Xu Youyou's instructions, she still bit the bullet and asked, "Can the village chief help us contact this couple? We want to buy this house."
The village chief immediately shook his head and said, "Rural houses don't have property certificates, and homesteads can't be bought or sold, so they can only be rented and not bought."
Xu Fang said without any hesitation: "Then we will rent it."
When Assistant Liu heard this, he looked at her in surprise and couldn't help wondering, what was so special about this shabby house?
The village chief was very happy that the villagers could earn an extra income and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you get in touch with someone. Although Wang Dayong and his wife opened an oil press, their two children are not married yet. They are very short of money and will definitely agree."
After Xu Youyou received the news, she and Lu Jingyao walked over slowly. After she entered the village committee, the owner of the house also arrived.
When the two sides met, they were all stunned.
"Are you the one who wants to rent my house? I won't agree!" the other party said angrily.
Xu Youyou frowned slightly. She had not expected that the original owner of this house was the family that came to force a marriage. She couldn't help but feel disgusted.
Lu Jingyao immediately stood in front of her, frowned at the family, and said, "If you like to leave the house empty, then keep it empty."
He didn't understand why Xu Youyou wanted to rent this old house, but he instinctively started to help Xu Youyou get the house.
Sure enough, once he showed this attitude towards doing business, the family no longer cared about their past grudges and immediately became anxious.
After all, a vacant house is a negative asset. If it could be rented out, that would be great. Cheng Chunhua had said she didn't want to before, firstly because she had a conflict with this group of people, and secondly because they wanted to use tricks to raise the price.
"Why are you young people so impatient? Can't you speak slowly if you have something to say? I haven't said anything final, let's discuss it slowly." Cheng Chunhua performed a Sichuan opera face-changing on the spot when threatened by Lu Jingyao.
Lu Jingyao said coldly: "Time is precious, stop talking nonsense."
The old village chief also glared at Cheng Chunhua and said, "It's a blessing for your family that a big boss from the city likes your house. You should cherish your blessings. You scared away such a good child like Qing Yatou. No wonder your family's life is getting worse and worse!"
Cheng Chunhua said, "Village Chief, please don't mention that ungrateful girl Qing to me. I finally found a good marriage for her, but not only did she not appreciate it, she also ran away with the family's money. It really pissed me off!"
Cheng Chunhua didn't notice at all that when she said this, a hint of guilt flashed in the eyes of her eldest son behind her.
The old village chief glanced at Xu Youyou and others beside him. He didn't believe a word of what Cheng Chunhua said. If his aunt was really a good person, why would Qing run away? But in front of outsiders, he was too lazy to expose Cheng Chunhua.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. In short, are you going to rent this house or not?" asked the old village chief.
Naturally, Cheng Chunhua's house had to be rented out, but there were few people in her family, and her husband and son were both short and fat. On the other side, the bodyguards following Xu Youyou and Lu Jingyao were all tall and strong. At first glance, it gave the illusion that a strong dragon was suppressing a local snake.
"Wait a moment, I've called someone and he'll be back to help me negotiate the business soon." Cheng Chunhua said.
Cheng Chunhua always thinks of strength in numbers. She brought a group of people with her when she went to the orphanage to force a marriage. Now, her first reaction when negotiating business is to call for help.
The villagers all live nearby, and in less than ten minutes, the village committee’s meeting room was full of people.
"Chunhua suddenly called us over. Could it be that she found Qing girl?"
"Dayong and his wife raised Qing girl, just to let her marry a fool from the next village, but she ran away. What an ungrateful person!"
Naturally, the relatives and friends that Cheng Chunhua called over were of the same character as her and were not good people.
The old village chief was overwhelmed by this scene: "Cheng Chunhua! What are you doing? You are not here to fight, why did you call so many people?"
Cheng Chunhua said, "They have so many people, I am afraid of being at a disadvantage. Miss Xu, we can talk about business now."
Xu Youyou smiled and said, "Auntie Cheng, so many people came to help you. When you make a lot of money, don't forget to treat them to a good meal and a drink. The level of the wine can't be bad."
Cheng Chunhua wanted to get something for free, so she asked all her relatives and friends to help her, and she had no intention of treating anyone to a meal.
But a group of relatives and friends said, "Yes, Chunhua, when you make money, you can't leave out good wine and good food for us. At least you have to drink Wuliangye, right?"
Cheng Chunhua was a person who would never bring more than 200 yuan in gifts when she came to force a marriage. How could she be willing to treat someone to Wuliangye? She immediately became anxious and said, "Don't listen to the nonsense of this little girl. She just came here to support the occasion. It won't take up much time."
Unexpectedly, Xu Youyou didn't let her go and continued, "Don't you know? I plan to rent her old house for fifty years. Even if the rent is only five thousand yuan a year, I can get two hundred and fifty thousand for free in fifty years."
For an ordinary family, one hundred thousand is a huge sum of money, let alone two hundred and fifty thousand.
When Cheng Chunhua came to propose marriage, although she boasted that her family owned a factory, it was actually just a small oil press workshop that might not even make a net profit of 100,000 yuan a year.
Nowadays, an idle and dilapidated old house can actually fetch 250,000 yuan for a family. This deal is really enviable.
Cheng Chunhua's relatives and friends were indeed jealous at this time.
Originally they came to help hold the stage, but now they have turned into someone who is involved in internal conflicts.
"Her house isn't necessarily good. If you really want an old house, you'd better look at mine. It's just a little off the beaten path. But don't worry, boss. I'll charge you a low price. Just give me 4,900 a year."
The person who spoke was Cheng Chunhua's sister-in-law.
Cheng Chunhua glared at her fiercely: "Third aunt, you actually robbed your own family's money! This is the money for your nephew to marry a wife! Can you bear to see your own nephew being single?"
