Chapter 143 : The Woman Who Owns a Building
The bodyguard on one side grabbed the children, and Lu Xiumei screamed as the two children were pulled away, one on the left and one on the right.
She couldn’t save one, nor could she pull the other. She was so anxious that she cried and shouted, “I’ll pay for it, can’t I pay for it?”
Qi Shaoqiang signaled the bodyguard to let go. Lu Xiumei’s eyes were filled with tears. She tried to play the sympathy card, “I don’t have that much money. Can you be more flexible… a little less?”
“If you don’t have money, sell your house and land… I heard that this yard and your two stores are both for sale?”
“Everyone in the Gu family has gone in. You are not the one selling the house? Is it a ghost selling it?”
Lu Xiumei’s darting eyes stopped for a moment. The man in front of her knew everything, but he was deliberately teasing her like a cat teasing a mouse.
Both my father-in-law and my husband are in jail, and it’s estimated that they won’t be released for more than two years. The house and the store will be hers.
She had originally planned to sell the house, keep the money, and then remarry and move to another place with her two children.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away. By the time the Gu family came out, she would have disappeared without a trace.
Today she came just to pack up the remaining things and made an appointment with someone to see the house, but was caught by Qi Shaoqiang.
Compared to money, she was more reluctant to give up her two children, “I will pay for it.”
“If you can’t pay the money today, I will charge you interest tomorrow.”
Lu Xiumei cursed Qi Shaoqiang countless times in her heart, but she still smiled and said, “I understand, I understand.”
The buyer who came to see the house just walked to the door and ran away when he saw this scene but was caught by Qi Shaoqiang.
“Aren’t you here to buy a house?”
“No, no, no, I’m just passing by.”
The buyer waved his hands desperately. He also knew how to judge the situation. The family had a nice house and the price was right, but they seemed to be in trouble. Who would dare to buy it?
Lu Xiumei remembered Qi Shaoqiang’s warning, “Don’t leave, I’ll lower the price for you. Three thousand five hundred for two stores and a house, how about that?”
The buyer’s eyes widened. The market price of a small courtyard here is about three thousand yuan. No matter how small the shops along the street are, they will cost at least one thousand yuan.
This time it’s only 1,500 yuan cheaper, who wouldn’t be tempted?
The seller was fascinated for a moment, but when he turned around and saw Qi Shaoqiang, his heart sank again. If he bought the house and ended up dealing with this group of thugs, he might as well not buy it!
He pinched his thigh hard, resisting the urge to agree immediately. Facing Lu Xiumei’s expectant eyes, he shook his head cruelly.
“Three thousand!” Lu Xiumei shouted!
“I want it!” Chen Yong blurted out.
If he doesn’t take advantage of this great opportunity, he won’t be able to close his eyes when he dies.
Come on, if you have the guts, beat him to death with these hooligans, and bury him in this yard.
He bought a house and settled in Haicheng, and from then on his family became residents of a big city.
He was a peasant whose ancestors had been farmers. He had earned some money by selling goods from door to door over the years and had unexpectedly found a bargain and bought a house in Haicheng.
From now on, the family tree must open a separate page from him!
“Sign the contract now,” Lu Xiumei was heartbroken but still urged them to sign the contract.
She originally thought that she could get about 5,000 yuan by selling the house, so that she would have the confidence to remarry and never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of her life. But she didn’t expect…
Forget it, it’s more important to keep your life. It’s useless to have money but no life to spend it.
Chen Yong was still cautious. After checking everywhere to make sure there were no problems with the house, he pressed the red fingerprint on the contract.
The money from the sale of the house was handed over from Chen Yong to Lu Xiumei, and then transferred to Qi Shaoqiang. Lu Xiumei asked for the receipt back and tore it up in front of Qi Shaoqiang, saying, “The account is settled.”
Qi Shaoqiang led the two men away without looking back. Lu Xiumei finally let out a breath and collapsed on the ground, holding her child.
Chen Yong kindly went to help her up, “Big sister, are you okay?”
Lu Xiumei stretched out her hand to ask him for the property deed, “The price we just discussed is no longer valid. If you want this house and store, you have to pay at least five thousand.”
Chen Yong was dumbfounded. “The contract has been signed, how can you change the price at the last minute?”
“Why not? Didn’t you see how vicious those people were just now, demanding that I pay the money on the spot? How can I survive if I don’t sell it?”
“Let me tell you, selling this house to you for 5,000 yuan is a bargain. Go ask around. Can you buy a small courtyard here for less than 4,000 yuan? From your accent, I can tell you’re not a local. My parents’ family and my husband’s family are all here. I advise you not to offend me, or you’ll run into ghosts when walking on the road at night in the future,” Lu Xiumei said half-threateningly.
It would only take a few minutes to deal with a country bumpkin from another place.
Chen Yong’s initial sympathy vanished. He stood up expressionlessly, dragged Lu Xiumei out of the yard, and said, “Sorry to disappoint you. As an outsider, I value money more than my life. If you have the guts, kill me. Otherwise, it will be useless no matter who you find! “
The door, with a big hole in it, slammed shut in front of Lu Xiumei, making her so angry that she jumped up and cursed outside for half an hour before returning to her parents’ home with her two children in a huff.
After realizing Lu Xiumei was not easy to deal with, Chen Yong became cautious and went to ask the neighbors. He soon learned that he had misunderstood.
It turned out that the woman who sold him the house was lazy, jealous of other people’s success, and had smashed other people’s shops and injured people. She had been arrested by the police.
The person he met that day was actually the man from the bullied family, who had come to ask for compensation.
Thinking that he had gotten a cheap house thanks to someone else’s misfortune, and knowing the two stores would be adjacent in the future, Chen Yong decided to pay a visit.
The man who came for compensation had seemed to have changed his demeanor. He accepted the fruit politely and gave a gift in return. Since then, Chen Yong felt relieved.
Jiang Li found it strange when she heard that the youngest daughter-in-law of the Gu family had sold the house and left, even paying the compensation honestly.
“I always feel that they aren’t such easy people to deal with. Did you do something? Or was it Grandma?”
Qi Shaoqiang rubbed her head and didn’t deny it. “How’s the decoration of the new store?”
The store that was originally rented from the Gu family now had a new owner. When Chen Yong, the person who had bought the house, came to the door, he said he wanted to take back the house and open a convenience store.
Jiang Li didn’t make things difficult for him. After all, the penalty for breach of contract had already been paid. It would just take some time to find another place and redecorate it.
But since she was in the late stage of pregnancy, Jiang Li had to go to school alone, and managing both the clothing store and the barber shop at the same time was a bit difficult.
Additionally, Fang Peilan generously offered her a building nearby. The shops on the street were better and bigger, and the location was convenient, at a crossroads with a large flow of people.
Since the shop was spacious, Jiang Li not only offered haircuts but also beauty and makeup services. The first floor was for haircuts, the second for beauty treatments, and the third for makeup.
The project was quite large, and the decoration would take three to four months.
It would be ready just in time for her to have a rest after giving birth.
