I am doing well in the Siheyuan

As soon as Ye Ming said this, Yi Zhonghai's face suddenly turned gloomy.

This kid had no intention of leaving them any wiggle room.

Yi Zhonghai also has to make a living, and he would never pay this money for them under any circumstances.

Why should Ye Ming be a saint if he couldn't even do it himself? Moreover, given the current situation of Liu Haizhong's family, it was unknown how long it would take to collect the ransom.

The price of houses in Beijing is changing with each passing day. It is estimated that it will at least quintuple in the next two years.

It is impossible in this world to get back the original price of a house just by adding a little interest.

Yi Zhonghai regarded him as a stupid person, so Ye Ming naturally would not show any mercy to him.

The residents around here were all dissatisfied when they heard this.

They have always been like this, and Ye Ming has long been accustomed to it.

The atmosphere in the courtyard became tense and stalemate.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai stopped talking, Ye Ming no longer deliberately made things difficult for him.

“I emphasize again that this house now belongs to me and has nothing to do with you.

If you feel it is too crowded here, please move out tonight, otherwise the authorities will come forward to deal with it tomorrow, and it will be embarrassing for everyone." Ye Ming gave an ultimatum.

The several families involved looked hesitant.

No one expected that in just ten years, their status and Ye Ming's would undergo a dramatic change.

The young man who was once bullied by them and had to endure humiliation, stepped hard on their heads in a seemingly calm but actually powerful way!

This kick made everyone unable to hold their heads up high.

"We are willing to rent it!" The deaf old lady expressed her opinion resolutely, and her words determined the overall situation.

It is indeed not Ye Ming’s fault.

Even if he didn't buy the property, someone would always bid for it.

If I leave here, I will also be dependent on others.

Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu are reluctant to leave the compound where they have lived for decades.

"Do you really want to rent it?" Ye Ming turned his gaze to Sha Zhu.

Although I was filled with reluctance, I had no choice but to settle down the current situation.

"Yes."

"Okay, then we'll follow the rules. One deposit and three payments, forty dollars per family."

"Forty? Why so many?"

"One deposit and three payments, the monthly rent is ten yuan. Do you want me to get out the abacus and calculate it for you in detail?" Ye Ming was a little impatient. In this day and age, it was still a waste of time to pay forty yuan in rent.

"Forty is forty, Zhuzi, take out the money!"

"no……"

The deaf old lady spoke, and even if Sha Zhu felt aggrieved, he could only bear it silently.

"Also, don't forget our share." After saying this, Jia Zhang was unwilling to continue to suffer the humiliation, so she turned around and went home.

"Hey, now it's good that I have to suffer alone! Never mind, it's all my own fault, I'll pay it!" Sha Zhu laughed at himself. After being married for many years, he finally tasted the bitter fruit of his own making.

However, no one sympathized with him.

The old lady made a decision, and the turmoil finally came to an end.

You can only swallow your broken teeth with tears.

Despite this, Ye Ming's actions still caused considerable controversy.

Although they were not driven out of the yard, the house did fall into his hands.

"I heard that Ye Ming took over the mortgaged properties of Xu Damao and others next door from the bank?" Cheng Jianjun learned the news from his father during dinner.

"That's right, I live in my own house but have to pay rent to him. It's embarrassing just to think about it.

This kid is narrow-minded. He probably still remembers that he was kicked out of the yard by them. He has waited for ten years and finally found an opportunity to take revenge. "Father Cheng shook his head and had no special opinion on Ye Ming's approach.

"But where did Ye Ming get so much money? Although their four houses are not big, the total price is at least 15,000, right? He is the deputy director of a steel rolling mill, with a monthly salary of more than 100 yuan. He has two children to support at home. How can he come up with so much money?" Cheng Jianjun didn't care about the situation of those people in the next yard. It's just that Han Chunming has been close to the Ye family recently, and he feels uneasy at the slightest sign of trouble, not to mention that this time it involves a huge sum of more than 10,000 yuan.

"Yes, why didn't I think of this question? Where did his money come from? Could it be embezzlement?" Cheng's father also realized the crux of the problem.

Although the boundaries between business and industry are not as clear as before, Ye Ming has not shown any obvious signs that he could raise such a large sum of money through legitimate means.

"Dad, this is not a small amount of money. We must find out where the money comes from."

"Do you mean to write a letter of denunciation? It's useless. Ye Ming's network of relationships is much more complicated than you think. Once the letter is handed over, it will probably fall into his hands the next day. If he finds out that it was us who did it, it will only bring trouble to ourselves." Cheng's father did not adopt Cheng Jianjun's suggestion.

He knew his son's character and thought it was probably jealousy that was at work.

Since childhood, Cheng Jianjun has liked to compare himself with Han Chunming in everything.

Now, he finally managed to temporarily surpass Han Chunming with a university admission letter, but he found that there was a rich man beside the other party who could easily come up with a huge sum of more than 10,000 yuan. Naturally, he was unwilling to let any potential opportunity in the future fall on Han Chunming.

"So we're just going to pretend we know nothing?"

"This matter has little to do with us. You should listen to your father and finish college diligently. Then you can become a civil servant in the future. No one can stop you from doing whatever you want to do."

Mr. Cheng's words were supported by Mrs. Cheng.

However, Cheng Jianjun did not care about this. He knew in his heart that by the time he graduated from university, the city might have changed a lot.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Han Chunming also returned home quietly and sat down groping in the dark.

Just after drinking a large glass of boiled water and before he could catch his breath, Han's mother came out from the inner room, frowned and said jokingly:

"Wu Zi, you are so dark now, almost as dark as the coal balls we use for burning in our house."

"Mom, it's inevitable to work on a construction site without getting stained. I'm still relatively lucky."

Han Chunming sat down next to Han's mother, took the palm-leaf fan from her hand, and fanned his mother gently.

"Speaking of which, a big incident happened in the courtyard next door today. The houses of the Liu family, the Xu family, He Yuzhu and the Jia family were all bought by that Ye Ming at a low price. In my opinion, there was no need to buy these houses. In the end, he only got himself into trouble. Many people in the alley are secretly blaming him."

"Hasn't Brother Ye had to bear enough gossip over the years? Have you ever seen him bow his head? To tell you the truth, Brother Ye knew a few months ago that You Fengxia came back for those houses."

"really?"

Upon hearing this, Han's mother frowned.

"Then why didn't he warn them in advance?"

"Hey, these people only care about their own interests and getting rich. Who will they listen to? Besides, Brother Ye has always kept his distance from them, so they won't pay any attention to him.

Besides, don't you know Brother Ye's personality? He is very clear about gratitude and resentment. There is no such word as "repaying evil with kindness" in his dictionary. It's good enough that he doesn't add insult to injury."
