Huang Guihua covered her chest with one hand and took several breaths before she said, "Yuehua, it's bad. The old Meng family that you rented the house from wants to take it back."
"When we signed the contract, didn't we agree to rent it for one year? It was clearly written in black and white. How could he go back on his word?" Su Yuehua frowned slightly. Chen Chengzhong had just brought back timber from the factory the day before yesterday, and the landlord suddenly said he didn't want to rent it anymore. How could they find a house in such a short time?
Huang Guihua was also very angry when she said this, "We have lived here as old neighbors for so many years, but I never realized that the Meng family was so unrefined."
"Just after lunch, Chengcai and Chenglin were working in the yard when the Meng family came and told Chengcai and his family to pack up and move out immediately. Chengcai saw that Chengzhong was not there, so he asked Chenglin to come home to find me and your father."
"Your dad was worried that the young men might get into a fight again, so he asked me to come find you, and he left in a hurry."
After hearing what Huang Guihua said, Su Yuehua became anxious. At this time, Shen Chengzhong had not yet finished get off work, and Chengcai and Chenglin were still working in the rental house.
She said hello to her family, rode her bicycle carrying Huang Osmanthus and rushed to the rental house. It turned out that she didn't feel it was so far if she wasn't in a hurry.
When she arrived, the homeowner was already standing in the yard, cursing, "Don't talk to me about the contract. You've turned my nice house into a garbage dump."
Fang Guoqiang's voice was trembling with anger. "Old Meng, when we rented the house, I informed you in advance and told you clearly that my nephew is a carpenter and he rented your house just to use your yard. Now you are disgusted by dirtying your yard."
Chen Chenglin followed up, "We planed wood in the yard, and we cleaned it every day after planing. We took great care of the house."
"Stop telling me these useless things. The house is mine. If I say I don't want to rent it out, then I won't." The landlord glared and started to act like a rogue.
Now that it has become like this, the house can no longer be rented, so Su Yuehua did not force it. She walked up and said politely: "Uncle Meng, give me two days and I will move in if I find a house."
The homeowner glared at me and yelled, "No, you must move out of my house before dark today, or I will go to the neighborhood committee to sue you. Don't think I don't know that you smashed these furnitures."
Su Yuehua took a deep breath, tried to suppress her anger and continued, "At the beginning, we agreed to rent it for a year, and now we have only rented it for a few months. You have to return the remaining rent to me."
"What's the point of returning it? I'm lucky enough that I didn't ask you to pay compensation. You guys have ruined my wonderful house." The homeowner waved his hand and started to act like a rogue.
Shen Chenglin stepped forward to reason with him, but was stopped by Su Yuehua, “Chenglin, forget it.”
He was so angry that he shouted at the house: "Aren't you lying with your eyes open? How did we destroy your house? We just dug up a few pieces of wood in the yard..."
"Chenglin." Su Yuehua shouted, stopping him from speaking any further.
Then he said to the homeowner, "Okay, we'll move now."
Although Shen Chengcai was angry, he was even more anxious, “Yuehua, where are we going to move in such a short time.”
Fang Guoqiang was so angry that his face turned red. He gasped and said, "Move it to my house first. I'll borrow a cart from my neighbor now."
It is really difficult to find a house in such a short time, so we can only move the wood and semi-finished furniture to Fang's house and leave them for two days, but this will definitely affect the delivery time.
Seeing that Su Yuehua agreed to move, the homeowner left the house and walked out of the yard with his hands behind his back, "I'll come to collect the house after dark. If there's any damage, I'll go to the neighborhood committee."
Shen Chenglin was so angry that he pointed at the owner’s departing back and said angrily: “Sister-in-law, we are obviously right, why should we be afraid of him.”
Su Yuehua walked up to him, patted his shoulder and said, "Chenglin, you have to bow your head under someone's eaves. Sometimes, a little loss can save you from a lot of big trouble. If the landlord really makes a fuss, we will also suffer. If things go wrong, he may even label us as capitalists."
Some things are known to everyone, and the landlord is so arrogant because he is afraid of being reported if he catches them.
Fang Guoqiang had just borrowed a cart when Shen Chengyi drove over in a jeep, and Gao Chunhai came with him.
When Shen Chengyi saw several people loading things onto the cart, he knew that the deal had not been made, so he rolled up his sleeves and went forward to help move the wood onto the cart.
"Chengyi, why are you here?" Su Yuehua felt indescribably relieved when she saw him coming.
Shen Chengyi put down the wood he was carrying, straightened up and said, "My sister-in-law called me and said that the landlord wanted to take back the house. I was worried, so I hung up the phone and asked Chunhai to come with me. Have you decided where to move?"
Su Yuehua had been thinking about this just now. She couldn't help but sighed, "The landlord asked me to vacate the house before dark. I have no choice but to move to my parents' house. Dad has already made an agreement with Uncle Zhang next door. If there is no room at home, I can move to his yard first."
The Fang family’s house is not big, and the yard is even smaller, so there is definitely no place to work. Su Yuehua should be thankful that these wood and unfinished furniture can be piled up.
She hesitated for a moment and continued, "Chengyi, I want to wait for my eldest brother to come back from get off work and discuss buying a house with him."
In the past few months, the two of them made some money from selling furniture, which they had been keeping in Su Yuehua's hands, planning to divide it together at the end of the year.
Shen Chengyi didn't hesitate at all, and said directly: "If the money to buy a house is not enough, I will find a way. We can use our own house with peace of mind, and save ourselves from being led by the nose by the landlord."
Huang Guihua heard that the couple wanted to buy a house. She looked around to make sure that no one was eavesdropping before she leaned over to Su Yuehua's ear and whispered, "Yuehua, your father and I have never been willing to spend the money you gave me when your father was in the hospital. If you want to buy a house, I will give it to you."
"Mom, I have enough money. The money I give to you and my dad is for you to spend. Don't be reluctant to spend it." Su Yuehua persuaded.
As it was getting dark, Chen Chengzhong and his apprentice Zhao Xiangqian came over after get off work. Looking at the empty yard, they were completely dumbfounded. They asked Su Yuehua who was cleaning up in the house, "Yuehua, why did we move into the house?"
Su Yuehua found the landlord in the afternoon and learned everything from him.
After hearing this, Shen Chengzhong frowned and asked in confusion, "Why did they suddenly stop renting to us? Last week, Lao Meng asked me to make two chairs, and I didn't ask for money. He was quite grateful and said that it would be a waste for his house to be empty. If we need it, he will continue to rent it to us."
