There seemed to be a gleam of light in Zhao Que's eyes, as if he was a little surprised, but also interested.
He could finally start the first step in the chess game he had set up.
Without waiting for an answer, Zhao Que got out of the car with the help of his maid.
The guards and steward of the manor saw Zhao Que and hurried forward.
He bowed respectfully in the direction of Zhao Que: "Master, you are back."
"Oh, you are the owner here?
I'm telling you, I've bought this place."
The person who caused the incident saw Zhao Que and walked forward quickly.
Pointing at Zhao Que, he shouted in a rough voice, "Don't even think about it, you bought this place for a thousand taels.
I will buy it back now for 1,500 taels."
Zhao Que listened to the voice and looked at the man with a smile.
But he looked to be in his forties, with a burly build, and was followed by several vicious servants with ferocious faces.
Dressed in the most luxurious Shu embroidery and adorned with gold and silver, she seemed very wealthy, yet also had a bit of a nouveau riche air.
Zhao Li was also a little curious when he heard these words.
Since you are so rich, why would you sell this yard?
A housekeeper quickly reported to Zhao Que:
“Master, this man sold this yard two years ago.
Now, I don’t know where he made a fortune, but he wants to buy this place back.
Otherwise, I won’t stop. We’ve been arguing here for half an hour.”
Zhao Que nodded after hearing the explanation and looked at the man again, but also found it a little funny.
"You've already sold it, it's not a mortgage. How can you buy it back?"
I don't want to sell this place, please go back. There are other courtyards around here, you can also buy another one.
Maybe we can still be neighbors?"
The man saw Zhao Que staring at him, but found that the man in front of him was a little pale and thin.
Wearing a mink fur coat, every move he made seemed more noble than this nouveau riche like himself.
Being suppressed by this momentum, he felt a little timid, but when he thought about his family property, he realized that he was a rich man now.
The body, which had been somewhat retreating, immediately straightened up.
Just like a proud rooster who wants to show off his majestic feathers to the peacock.
But he was filled with indignation, “Who wants to be your neighbor?
You guys are just after money. How much do you want for this place? Just tell me a number. I'll buy it all. Don't be ungrateful."
In this man's words, it seemed as if money was just a floating cloud.
It's quite generous, but I also feel like I'm being taken advantage of.
He felt a little ecstatic when he said this. He never expected that he would get rich one day.
Money can make things happen, and he doesn't believe these people can refuse it.
On the other side, passers-by who had gathered to watch the noise began to whisper.
Some seemed to know the man in front of them.
"Isn't this Hou Xiangyang? The second son of the Hou family who has long been in dire straits."
"Oh, you mean the man who angered his father to death two years ago and then sold this ancestral home?
I didn't expect that he would become rich now? Did he win the gambling?"
"I heard he made a fortune doing business in the North and came back to enjoy himself."
"Oh, this guy was so ignorant before. I don't know how he got the money by cheating and deceiving people."
"Shh, stop talking, this guy is trying to curry favor with Captain Ye.
I don't know who this young man is. I don't know if I can resist his coercive tactics. I don't want to be neighbors with such a person.
........
There were countless gossips below, and naturally some of them fell into the ears of everyone.
When Hou Xiangyang heard these words, his face turned red and he clenched his fists.
With bloodshot eyes, he scanned anyone who dared to gossip.
Now that I have become rich, I will get back what belongs to me sooner or later.
Whether it is this property or dignity.
Zhao Li looked at Zhao Que who was still smiling, but he didn't say much.
After all, these things are too small for them.
It's not worth mentioning at all. If I take action myself, it would be a waste of time and would easily make Zhao Que unhappy.
But I had heard that Lao Liu had a kind character.
If I were to say such words, I would be finished.
If it were Lao Wu, this person would have been dead.
If it was the second child, the whole family might have lost their lives.
But I don't know how he plans to deal with it.
