Chapter 10 Re-signing the Agreement
The cousins first squeezed onto the bus, and then took the ferry. It took more than 40 minutes before they arrived at Qiao Mo's house. Today was the weekend, and every household was occupied. They looked at Qiao Mo's household registration book and house deed, and knew that she would soon move to the countryside and would entrust the house to her cousin for management. Two households expressed their understanding and re-signed the rental agreement according to her wishes.
One household expressed distrust and said they would only be willing to revise the agreement after talking to Zhang Meiyu.
Yang Weihua explained to them several times but they refused to budge. He became angry and said, "You must be Zhang Meiyun's relatives, right? Otherwise, why wouldn't you cooperate when the real owner of the house showed up?"
"No, we rented the house from Ms. Zhang, and we paid the rent to her before. Now they suddenly want to change the owner, and we just can't believe it." The young woman argued cunningly.
"I have the title deed and the household registration booklet here. How could I possibly forge it?" Qiao Mo asked with a sneer. "The more I look at you, the more familiar you look. Oh, now I remember. You're Zhang Meiyun's distant cousin. If you don't want to rent it anymore, move out in a couple of days and we'll rent it to someone else."
"Yes, yes, the lease will expire in two days, and you don't need to sign another agreement." Yang Weihua didn't want to rent the house to them when he heard that they were Zhang Meiyu's relatives.
"That's not what we meant. It's just that you suddenly want to change the agreement, and we're a little bit skeptical." At this time, the man came over to smooth things over. If they were asked to move now, where would they move to? Didn't he know how difficult it was to rent a house?
"If you don't believe it, you can go to the textile factory and ask Zhang Meiyu to verify it right now." Qiao Mo said with a sneer.
"Before, I asked them to manage the house because I was still young. Now that I'm moving to the countryside, I have the capacity for civil conduct, so naturally I have to take it back and entrust someone else to manage it."
"Mr. He, this tenant not only has the title deed, but also the household registration booklet, which can prove that the house belongs to her. You don't have to be suspicious." Another tenant reminded him thoughtfully.
It is not easy to rent a house here, but it is very easy to rent out a house. He vacates the house today and it can be rented out tomorrow.
"Since you said so, then okay, let's change the agreement." The man took advantage of the situation and took out a pen and paper to rewrite the rental agreement and paid a month's rent.
After finishing the rental matter, Qiao Mo opened an account at a nearby bank and set a password. He then handed the passbook to Yang Weihua and told him that the rent would be deposited into the passbook and that he could withdraw money from it if he needed it. He also asked him not to tell anyone the password.
"Cousin, this password is the key to withdrawing money. If you lose the passbook, you can report it lost. But if the password is leaked and the money is taken away, no one will be responsible. So, you must not tell anyone else. If someone forces you to answer, just say that the passbook is mine and only I know the password." Qiao Mo said seriously. She was afraid that the old lady of the Yang family would know that her grandson was holding their rent and would demand it back from him.
"Cousin, actually you don't have to tell me. I'm only saving money anyway, so I don't need a password. The repairs are just minor things, so I'll ask the tenant to pay for it when the time comes, and then deduct it from the rent in the future." Yang Weihua scratched his head and said.
"Then just pretend you don't know." Qiao Mo smiled and stuffed the passbook into his pocket. "Actually, the best way is not to tell anyone about this, and keep the money yourself so you don't have to take it out when you need it."
