"Can you manage the household?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Nanxun asked calmly.
"Comrade Gu, don't listen to his nonsense, he can't run the household."
Upon hearing Gu Nanxun's question, Li Daqing replied anxiously.
"Brother Daqing, this is my family's business, don't meddle."
Upon hearing Li Daqing's words, Li Ping'an's expression turned extremely ugly, and he said unhappily.
"I'm not going to care about you anymore, I'm going to find my aunt."
Seeing that he couldn't stop Li Ping'an, the clerk immediately left the living room and headed towards the kitchen.
"Comrades, don't worry about him, let's go and get the formalities done."
After Li Daqing left, Li Ping'an said excitedly.
"We still need Clerk Li's help with the paperwork!"
Seeing Li Ping'an's excited expression, Lin Qing couldn't help but interject.
"Why would we need him? The housing management bureau isn't just staffed by him; others can handle it too. What number do you need? I'll go get the property deed."
Upon hearing Lin Qing's words, Li Ping'an curled his lip and said disdainfully.
"Brother Nanxun, which number do we want?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qing hesitated and asked Gu Nanxun, explaining that she had only been looking at shops number 12 and 13 and hadn't paid attention to the other shops.
"We need numbers 9 through 14."
Gu Nanxun said.
Just now, Lin Qing didn't look at the other shops, but Gu Nanxun did.
Li Dafu's shop was located in the middle of Huaian Street, with numbers 9 to 14 being the best locations, especially numbers 10 and 11, which were not only in the best locations but also the largest.
"Okay, you wait here, I'll go get the property deed. But did you bring any money?"
Hearing Gu Nanxun say that it would be from the 9th to the 14th, Li Ping'an said happily, but then worried that they might not have brought any money, so he asked them.
"I brought it, don't worry!" Lin Qing said with a smile.
"Okay, then please wait a moment!"
Upon hearing this, Li Ping'an spoke excitedly, then turned and walked into the inner room.
"Ping An, you can't do anything reckless, your dad will be angry."
Just as Li Ping'an stepped into the inner room, the woman from before rushed in from outside, panting.
"Where is Ping An?"
The woman, not seeing Li Ping'an, anxiously inquired.
"Going to pick up the property deed!"
Lin Qing replied with a smile.
"Safety……"
The woman shouted "Peace be with you!" as she ran into the inner room.
…………
"Ping An, you can't sell it! Your dad will be angry."
After a while, the woman followed Li Ping'an out of the inner room again.
"Comrades, let's go!"
Li Ping'an came out of the inner room, ignoring the woman, and smiled as he spoke to Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing.
"Comrade Li, your mother..."
Lin Qing looked at the anxious woman and reminded Li Ping'an.
"Don't worry about her. What do women know? In our family, the men are in charge."
Li Pingan said nonchalantly.
"Comrade Li, I think you should discuss this further!"
Gu Nanxun thought for a moment and said that he knew he had taken advantage of the situation a bit, but he didn't want to cause any further trouble because of it.
Upon hearing this, Li Ping'an looked at the woman unhappily, "Mom, if you don't let me sell the house, do you want to watch me die? Let me tell you the truth, I owe someone money, and if I can't pay it back, they're going to beat me to death."
"What did you say? Didn't you only owe 7,000 yuan? How did it become 100 yuan?"
The woman asked with an incredulous look on her face.
"I didn't dare to tell you everything, because I was afraid of scaring you."
Li Pingan pursed his lips and said that he actually only owed 100 yuan, and the 7,000 yuan he mentioned at the beginning was indeed true. It was just that he got itchy fingers a couple of days ago, which is why he owed another 5,000 yuan.
"But, but... but we only have a few shops, and your dad can't bear to part with them!"
The woman said helplessly upon hearing this.
"Which is more important, me or the shops? Besides, we can't do business now, so what do we need so many shops for? We had 13 shops, right? We've only sold six, so we still have seven left."
Li Pingan said nonchalantly.
"But...but..."
The woman sat down on the ground in a panic and said helplessly.
"No buts, even if my dad comes back, he'll still sell it."
Li Pingan said impatiently.
Upon hearing this, the woman fell silent, seemingly agreeing with Li Ping'an's words.
"Even if we were to sell, we couldn't sell it at this price."
Li Daqing suddenly interrupted. He had been listening to Li Ping'an and his aunt's conversation, and upon hearing this, Li Daqing understood that the house had to be sold today.
Upon hearing this, Li Ping'an looked at Li Daqing but didn't say anything. He wasn't stupid; if Brother Daqing could sell at a higher price, he would still benefit.
"So how do you plan to sell it?"
Gu Nanxun thought for a moment and then asked.
"Six shops won't do, five shops at most."
Li Daqing thought for a moment and said that he actually wanted to say four rooms, but he was afraid that the two people would not agree, so he only dared to say five rooms.
"Let's discuss this!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qing said, and then pulled Gu Nanxun out of the room.
"Brother Nanxun, what should we do? It seems we can't get any advantage from this."
As soon as she stepped out of the room, Lin Qing said with a smile.
“I didn’t originally intend to take advantage of anyone. With Li Daqing around, he won’t let us get away with it. My original plan was just to buy more houses.”
Gu Nanxun smiled and ruffled Lin Qing's hair as he spoke.
"So what should we say later? Should we agree to a deal for five shops?"
Lin Qing asked with a smile.
"It's alright, I'll talk to you in a bit!"
Gu Nanxun said with a smile.
Inside the house, Li Ping'an waited anxiously, glancing at the door every now and then.
"Brother Daqing, why don't we just sell them six rooms? What if these two people don't want to buy them?"
Li Pingan said with a worried expression.
Li Daqing remained silent as time ticked by. He couldn't help but worry. If he ruined his cousin's plans, his cousin would definitely blame him. If the house couldn't be sold in the future, even his uncle and aunt would probably blame him.
Li Daqing couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He knew better than anyone how much his uncle and aunt loved his cousin. If his cousin got hurt because his house couldn't be sold, he would really become a sinner.
