After listening to Yun Qiao's suggestion, Yan Jingwan nodded in agreement. "You're right. We don't need the money from selling the house, so let's rent it out first. But we have to choose the tenant carefully. We can't choose someone who is sloppy and unhygienic. Otherwise, after renting it out for a few years, the house will become very dirty. When we want to sell it later, we will have to renovate and clean it up, which is troublesome."
"Of course." Yun Qiao said, "If you don't have time to take care of this, when you rent out the house, you can find a middleman, give him some money, and ask him to take care of it. Many alleys and shantytowns have uncles and aunts who are specifically responsible for this, so if there is any problem, it will be easier to solve it."
Yan Jingwan hummed, "Hey, I'll go back over there later and ask if anyone in the alley is willing to take care of this. I'll also need to buy some simple furniture, otherwise it might be difficult to rent out an empty house."
"There's nothing in the room?" Yun Qiao was a little surprised: "Didn't they say Yang Qing lived in there?"
"The Jian family's courtyard house is within the Second Ring Road. Why would she leave her comfortable courtyard house and move into this mixed-up compound? How is that possible?" Yan Jingwan said, "It's just a way to make money. The old man of the Jian family is not as upright as our father. Polygamy was still practiced during the Republic of China. When the old man of the Jian family was young, he married six or seven wives. Later, when he joined the revolution, he disbanded his family. But the child is gone, and he can't be sent back home."
"My stepmother, Jian Suhua, is the eldest wife's daughter, and Yang Qing's husband is my current wife's stepmother. There's an age gap of more than ten or twenty years between them, so why are they still aunts and sisters-in-law? It's because the old man of the Jian family is very capable and has had more than ten children."
"If we don't make money now while the old man of the Jian family is still alive, it will be too late to fight for it when he dies."
"That's true." Yun Qiao said with a smile, "Now, we can get as much as we can. When the people are gone, all the property will be shared with others. No one would complain about having too much."
"That's the truth," Yan Jingwan said. "So this time, Yang Qing must have felt really bad for giving me her own house as compensation. This is also a lesson for her. Next time she wants to ask me for money, she'll have to think twice."
Yun Qiao asked, "What about your stepmother? Only Yang Qing paid you a house as compensation. Didn't your stepmother pay anything?"
"Her?" Yan Jingwan shook her head silently and said, "After all, she is Old Yan's wife, and Old Yan still protects her. So... I can only quit while I'm ahead."
At this point, a hint of gloom flashed across Yan Jingwan's brows, but she didn't let Yun Qiao see it and quickly changed the subject, "But Yang Qing probably won't let her off easily. She's the one who paid the price, but Yang Qing is the one who's bleeding. Yang Qing won't just accept defeat. He'll definitely have to tear an equal amount of benefits out of her. Then she'll have a headache."
"And Yan Jingshu was also sent to Shanghai. She probably won't be back for the next few years."
"Everyone who started it paid a price. Although the outcome of this matter isn't perfect, it's at least resolved. I'm quite satisfied with the result."
Yun Qiao hummed and said, "Very good."
The world is not black and white, and it is a good thing that nothing ends in vain.
The next afternoon, Yun Qiao accompanied Yan Jingwan to a large courtyard near the School of Economics and Trade. The house was too empty, and it would take some effort to rent it out. They also had to find a middleman, and it would take more than one trip to get the job done.
When she came back in the evening, as soon as she entered the house, she heard Feng Juan calling her name.
"Yun Qiao, you are finally back."
"Someone in Shanghai called you. It seems to be something very important. I wrote down the number. Please call them back."
