Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

Chapter 461 Poverty breeds evil schemes, while wealth breeds conscience.

Although experience told him that he had encountered the same thing again, Meng Xuhui still prayed in his heart that he was wrong.

Found a little beggar’s blind spot.

"Jiu Er, don't look back. There is a little beggar behind you at ten o'clock. You will follow him later~"

Jiu'er nodded. He had no doubt or question about Meng Xuhui's order. He just obeyed unconditionally.

After strolling around the Bund, He Yuzhu thought of trying his luck and taking the opportunity to check out the current prices of real estate in Shanghai so that he would have a better idea.

Arriving at the neighborhood near the Bund, He Yuzhu looked at these old-fashioned buildings full of exotic style. After a century of decline, only these few things were left.

The Germans are the only good people who took great pains to leave an island city for China. They are the only superpower that suffered losses in China, which is also a very interesting thing.

As he walked, he saw a group of people in front of him arguing loudly about something. The gossip factor in He Yuzhu's body instantly awakened, and He Yuzhu walked towards the crowd uncontrollably.

He Yuzhu was also very tactful and acted like a well-mannered spectator, and did not try to squeeze in like some other middle-aged women.

He Yuzhu listened for a while before he understood what was going on.

"Lao Zhang, I know your family depends on this small shop to survive. I have already said that I will refund you two more months' rent. I am going to sell this house. I really have no choice but to do so."

"Lao Li, I have rented your house for so many years, and you are going to break your promise before the expiration date. Where can I find a house in such a short time?"

In He Yuzhu's opinion, both of them have their own difficulties in this matter...

An unknown person standing nearby said, "Lao Zhang, this is a simple matter. Lao Li wants to sell his house, so why don't you buy it? This way, you don't have to move, and Lao Li gets the money."

Crowd Eater B: "Old Song, look at what you said. If Old Zhang had money, the family wouldn't have to live together for so many years, renting a house to open a shop. It's not hygienic~"

Atmosphere Group: "That's right, that's right. If I were to ask you, Old Li, you are not a decent person. The sale does not violate the lease. You can't take advantage of going south to live with your son. You are breaking the rules."

At this moment, the person involved was standing in the center of the stage feeling very embarrassed. The landlord, Lao Li, was also very regretful. Why did he get so angry and start a quarrel with Lao Zhang outside? Not only had he lost face, but after today, he no longer had any friendship with Lao Zhang.

Lao Zhang was also feeling upset. Lao Li had never raised his rent over the years and had been very caring towards him. But now it concerned his family's livelihood and he was in a dilemma.

It is said that poverty breeds evil, while wealth breeds conscience. He Yuzhu also wants to see how these two parties will handle this matter...

The two were silent.

The man who had spoken at the beginning spoke up again: "Lao Li, you are in a hurry to sell the house, and Lao Zhang can't afford it, so why don't you sell it to me for 400 yuan?"

"Old Qian, everyone says you are a Pixiu expert. It seems to be true. My house is worth eight hundred dollars, and you want to buy it for four hundred?"

"Old Li, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but the longer you delay, the more Old Zhang will think that he owns part of the house, and it will be harder for you to sell it."

"It's fine at the price you mentioned, but Mr. Zhang's rent won't be the current price."

Old Li, who was already feeling guilty, heard that the old bastard Old Qian actually gave him 800 yuan, but it was obvious that he had to get the money back from Old Zhang.

"Old Qian, I won't sell this house anymore. I'm making this clear today. Anyone who wants to buy my house must guarantee a reasonable rent to Old Zhang, otherwise I won't sell it."

Old Zhang, who was also suffering from inner torment, did not expect that Old Li would still consider him in such a difficult time. He suddenly felt that he was a terrible person.

Gritting one's teeth, one's heart thumps.

"At worst, I can take my family back to my hometown in the countryside to farm. I can't let my old brother be caught in the middle and make things difficult for him."

"Lao Li, please calculate the remaining rent for me. I don't want to rent it anymore~"

"Lao Zhang, you~"

"Old Li, can a living person be killed by holding his urine? At worst, I can take my family back to the countryside to inherit the five acres of thin land from my ancestors. We two brothers have been strong all our lives, and we must not let others laugh at us."

Looking at the two elderly people in their fifties with tears in their eyes, He Yuzhu realized that there is still true love in the world.

Liu Yang, who was also tearful, whispered in He Yuzhu's ear: "Brother, you want to buy a store, why don't we buy it~"

He Yuzhu was originally very tempted. With such a piece of land, he could buy it without any hesitation, and it was a sure profit.

"Hmph~ Lao Li, let me make this clear, I won't buy your house. Let's see who dares to buy it~"

He Yuzhu couldn't stand the way this villain succeeded. As the protagonist, how could he not strike back at the bad social trends?

"Please let me in, I bought this house~"

In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on He Yuzhu.

Especially the arrogant man named Qian, his eyes were like a poisonous snake, staring at He Yuzhu, as if he was going to swallow him in the next second.

Old Li had been prepared to have his house smashed into his hands and to be blamed by his own son, but he did not expect that there was a savior hidden in the crowd.

Meng Xuhui and others couldn't stand the hatred towards Qian.

So a path was paved for He Yuzhu.

The people present were not stupid. One look at the buzz cuts on Meng Xuhui and the others' faces, plus their unique heroic aura, told them they were from the military.

How could a person who could be protected by so many crew cuts be an ordinary person? So they all stepped aside obediently.

Old Li walked towards He Yuzhu with an excited look on his face.

"Little brother, do you really want to buy my house? Did you hear the conditions I just stated clearly~"

"Well, Uncle Li, I've been listening for a while, and I'm also moved by the friendship between you and Uncle Zhang, so I decided to help you two and not hurt this friendship."

"Okay, little brother, thank you for your help. You can take my house for 600 yuan. I just hope you can treat my old brother well in the future."

"Lao Li~ This is not appropriate~"

He Yuzhu couldn't bear to see this scene, so he turned his head and rubbed the sand out of his eyes.

"Uncle Li, don't worry. I won't be using this house for the next three or two years. I'm not short of money, so just charge 800 yuan. Otherwise, I'll feel uneasy."

It was the first time that everyone saw the seller lowering the price on his own initiative and the buyer raising the price. The conscientious people present felt that they had learned a good lesson today and that people should still be kind.

Seeing that He Yuzhu was very sincere, Old Li was so grateful that he could not express it in words. He could only say to his old friend:

"Lao Zhang, let's bow to our little brother."

Although the two men were older than him, He Yuzhu believed that he was worthy of their greeting.
