Siheyuan: I just want to live

After a long while, Chen Feng slowly walked out of the house. He calmly walked to Xu's father and solemnly handed over the mortgage contract written by Lou Xiao'e.

Father Xu quickly reached out his hand, carefully took it, and then looked at it carefully. He opened his eyes wide and read the contract word by word, not missing any details.

Soon, he confirmed that it was indeed written by Lou Xiao'e. Not only that, it also had Lou Xiao'e's autograph and bright red handprints clearly printed on it.

At this moment, the two young men who had been standing nearby could no longer suppress their curiosity and came to Xu's father at the same time.

They craned their necks, eager to see what was written on the paper. They stared at the paper intently, and together with Father Xu, they carefully studied the contents of the contract.

After they finally finished reading it, one of the young men asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Old man, do you think this contract is real? Also, is the signature on it really your daughter-in-law's?"

Another person echoed, "That's right, look carefully, don't make a mistake!"

However, facing this series of urgent inquiries, Xu's father did not respond immediately. He remained silent at first, as if thinking about how to answer.

Then he raised his head, his eyes passed over the two young men in front of him and fell directly on Chen Feng who was not far away.

He frowned and said to Chen Feng with a slightly worried tone: "Chen Feng! I have seen this contract, and I can confirm that it is undoubtedly Lou Xiao'e's handwriting. It's just that..."

Isn’t five thousand yuan a bit too much? After all, such a large amount is not a small amount! "

After saying that, he shook his head slightly, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

Seeing that Mr. Xu did not doubt the authenticity of the contract, but instead mentioned the amount of money in the contract, Chen Feng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Uncle Xu, although the money is indeed not a small amount, it was handed over to her without a penny less! Now she has disappeared inexplicably and Damao has encountered another misfortune. I really have no choice but to come to you to ask for it." Chen Feng said sincerely.

When Mr. Xu heard this, a very tangled expression suddenly appeared on his face. To be honest, he didn't want to pay Chen Feng the money at all. Besides, he was penniless at this moment. If he hadn't been desperate, how could he have thought of selling the house?

Chen Feng took in Father Xu's tangled look, and then continued, "When Lou Xiao'e asked me to borrow money, she kept saying that she wanted to do something for Damao. That's why I agreed to lend her the money."

"Besides, she and Damao were husband and wife after all. Even if she ran away now, she is still Damao's wife, and the legitimate daughter-in-law of your Xu family. Uncle Xu, you can't deny it!"

Chen Feng spoke earnestly and looked at Xu's father with sharp eyes.

Father Xu felt a headache when he saw Chen Feng say this, but Chen Feng was not wrong. Damao and Lou Xiao'e really haven't divorced yet, and they are still husband and wife.

"Chen Feng's money..."

Xu Damao frowned and stopped talking halfway. If he just endured the debt, it would take his family almost ten years to pay it off.

How could he save money for Damao to marry a new wife? If he didn't marry Damao, how could he continue the Xu family's lineage? If he didn't continue the lineage, how could he face his ancestors?

As soon as Chen Feng saw the look on Xu's father's face, he knew what was going on. It must be Xu Damao's fault. Xu's father had already spent all the family wealth.

Seeing this, Chen Feng also showed some kindness, so he said to Xu's father, "Uncle Xu, I don't want to push you too much, how about this?"

"Let's divide the money into two parts, one for Damao and his wife. Father Xu, just give Damao the money."

"As for Lou Xiao'e's share, I'll ask her for it when Lou Xiao'e finds it. Is that okay with you?"

After hearing what Chen Feng said, Father Xu was silent for a while, and then he said, "Chen Feng! You know, Damao is in trouble, and I have emptied my family's savings. I really have no money left!"

Chen Feng heard what Xu's father said and said indifferently, "Uncle Xu, aren't you going to sell Damao's house? Can't you just give me the money directly after you sell the house?"

Before Mr. Xu could say anything after hearing what Chen Feng said, the young man next to him suddenly said, "That's not okay either?"

"Although I haven't seen the house yet, from the outside, it looks like it has two rooms at most. At the current house price, it can be sold for five or six hundred yuan at most."

"This is still a long way from twenty-five hundred dollars!"

As soon as the young man opened his mouth, the other three people looked at him, and Xu's father and Chen Feng looked at him with amusement in their eyes.

The young man looked at Chen Feng and Xu's father, and suddenly seemed to understand something. Then he said weakly with some uncertainty, "You don't want to sell this house to me for 2,500, do you?"

After hearing his words, Chen Feng and Xu's father still didn't say anything, but just looked at him silently.

Seeing that Chen Feng and the other man were silent, the young man understood what was going on, and then asked in surprise, "Are you really planning to sell the house to me for 2,500?"

"No! Do you think I'm your enemy? Am I stupid? I can buy a nice yard for 2500, so why would I sell these two shabby houses?"

When Mr. Xu heard what the young man said, he immediately said with a smile, "No, no! How could we possibly blame you? I also know that this house is definitely not worth 2,500!"

After hearing what Father Xu said, the young man said with satisfaction, "No is the best!"

After saying this, the young man said nonchalantly, "In my opinion, old man, you should not sell your house, but just mortgage it to this guy. That way, you can settle the account directly, right?"

Hearing the young man's words, Xu's father seemed to have his Ren and Du meridians opened, and he suddenly understood. Yes, if he gave the house to Chen Feng, wouldn't his family's debt be eliminated?

When Chen Feng heard what the young man said, he was delighted. He was worried that he had no chance to talk to Xu's father about the house.

The young man came to assist. If Xu's father was not still present, Chen Feng really wanted to give the young man a big hug!

However, although Chen Feng was ecstatic in his heart, he still pretended not to understand on his face.

However, Father Xu did not hesitate at all and immediately said to Chen Feng: "Chen Feng! What this young man said makes sense! I will mortgage this house to you, and in this way, the debt between our two families will be written off!"

Chen Feng heard what Xu's father said and quickly responded, "Uncle Xu! You must not do this! How can I accept your property?"

"You just need to return Xu Damao's share of the money to me. I definitely won't take this house!"

When Mr. Xu heard what Chen Feng said, he felt a sudden toothache. If he had enough money to repay Chen Feng.

So how could he possibly use his own house to pay off his debts? Besides, even if he really had some spare money, there was no way he would give it to Chen Feng!

After all, that was a full two thousand five hundred yuan, enough to buy a courtyard house with one entrance somewhere else and still have some money left over.

Father Xu thought to himself, he is not a fool, how can he be willing to use the huge sum of money that can buy a small courtyard to exchange for just two shabby houses? This is simply a very stupid act!

At this moment, Father Xu took out the extremely precious property deed without hesitation, and stuffed it into Chen Feng's hand with an almost arrogant attitude.

Then, with an earnest look on his face and a firm tone, he said to Chen Feng: "Chen Feng! Please don't refuse again! Let's settle this matter!"

When Xu's father successfully stuffed the property deed into Chen Feng's hands, he seemed to be afraid that Chen Feng would refuse again.

So, without saying a word, he turned around and rushed out of the backyard as fast as grease, and ran straight towards the gate of the courtyard.

Even the two young people who came with him to buy the house were ruthlessly abandoned by him in this courtyard.

Chen Feng looked at the back of Xu's father who left in a hurry, and couldn't help but feel a little amused. He slowly lowered his head and stared at the house deed tightly held in his hand.

At this moment, Chen Feng really wanted to laugh out loud, but considering that there were other people in the yard, he had to restrain himself.

So, Chen Feng deliberately put on an embarrassed expression, sighed softly, and then spoke helplessly.

"Hey! Uncle Xu! Why do you have to do this? I really don't want this house! All I want is to get back the money I lent out!"

When Chen Feng finished speaking, the young man who had been sitting aside and watching Chen Feng's performance silently showed an expression of extreme contempt and disdain on his face, and rolled his eyes at Chen Feng without any concealment.

You know, other people may not understand the inside story, but this young man witnessed the whole process from beginning to end, and he knows it clearly!

He knew very well that the man in front of him had ulterior motives from the very beginning and had been obsessed with the house.

However, at this moment, this is ultimately just someone else's business and has nothing to do with me.

Seeing that it was impossible to buy the house he dreamed of, the young man shook his head helplessly, then took his wife's hand and slowly walked out of the courtyard.

When they left, they didn't even say hello to Chen Feng.

However, Chen Feng seemed quite indifferent to this situation. After all, they were strangers to each other, and it didn't matter to him whether the other party said goodbye to him or not.

After everyone dispersed, Chen Feng returned to his own home leisurely, holding the property certificate and title deed of Xu Damao's house.
