A Siheyuan Home Brings Good Fortune

Chapter 238 Give in decisively

Since He Yukai said so, as decoration workers, of course they will listen to their employer and decorate the house the way their employer wants them to!

Yan Bugui also kept an eye on the progress of the renovation. He wanted to see if He Yukai would go too far. He was increasingly unsure whether what He Yukai said last time was true or false. If He Yukai really decided to fence off their house, he would have no choice but to compromise.

Open the door? Wouldn't his family's situation be exposed to the neighbors? Could there be any secrets in his family?
He was like that when facing everyone in the compound, not to mention the people in Nanluoguxiang. How could he live facing those people? Your family already has so much money. Is it okay to give me more for the sake of our long-term neighbors?
For various reasons, Yan Bugui instigated Zhang to follow him. Zhang also knew that he could not live in this compound. After all, 90% of the land belonged to others. How could he live? After hearing Yan Bugui's analysis, he felt it made sense. He didn't expect to make extra money by buying a house. Where can you find such a good thing?

Both of them knew that they would have to move out sooner or later, and they insisted on staying here to gain the greatest benefits. After all, He Yukai came from the future and had seen many stubborn residents, so he certainly knew their mentality.

"That's all I ask. If you have no problem with the labor, start the work as soon as possible. We have been working together for quite some time. I will pay you for the labor and materials. I will settle the payment later. This is 20,000 yuan. You must guarantee the quality!"

"Director He, don't worry. We have cooperated many times over the years. My master is personally supervising the work. How dare I mess around?"

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. Remember, the first thing to do is to build the wall. I don't believe they can keep doing it. Some people just want to speak with actions. They can buy two houses with the price of one house. They're taking me for a fool!"

"Ha ha..."

After giving the instructions, He Yukai locked the door and left. Yan Bugui peeked at the He family in the Central Courtyard at the door. When he saw He Yukai locking the door, he immediately turned around and went home!

He thought He Yukai was here to see him, but after waiting for a long time he never heard He Yukai knocking on the door, and he felt something was wrong!
When I went out to check, there was no one in the courtyard. The doors and windows of the He family were closed. After a while, the needed wood and cement were pulled into the courtyard by construction workers. From the backyard to the middle yard to the front yard, they were everywhere. In less than half a day, the courtyard was transformed into a construction site.

At this time, He Yukai came to Zhengyangmen to wander around. He wanted to see what Han Chunming was busy with recently. If there is a chance to go to the countryside, old objects are becoming more and more difficult to get. The old objects in his space were placed in a secret place by him. Those things cannot be taken out now. Find a time to get them to the Palace Museum. The country is still noisy now. There is no clue. Many people have begun to define it as a supernatural event.

Not far from Han Chunming's house, He Yukai heard a dispute in front. It seemed that Han Chunming was arguing with a girl. Both of them deliberately lowered their voices for fear that others would discover them.

He Yukai suddenly became curious. He was also curious about who Han Chunming was arguing with. If Han Chunming was indecisive, he might have to enforce the family rules.

"Chun Ming, we grew up together, and I have liked you since we were little. Why are you so heartless?"

"Su Meng, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! We are neighbors at most. We played together when we were young, but we don't interact with each other anymore when we grow up!
Besides, I'm getting ready to get married, and you're causing trouble by coming out like this, which is harming me!"

Han Chunming looked at Su Meng helplessly. This proud woman who was like a white swan came to his house today and asked for help with something. He followed her without thinking much. He didn't expect this to happen. If Xu Jingli heard or saw it, he wouldn't be able to explain himself. Thinking of this, he wanted to escape quickly.

"Han Chunming, why am I unworthy of you? If you don't explain clearly, I will go find Xu Jingli!"

Han Chunming paused and groaned inwardly. He was just afraid that Xu Jingli would take it seriously. If that happened, no amount of explanation would be of any use.

Perhaps only He Yukai could understand Xu Jingli's personality, but he was sure that if He Yukai knew that he was entangled with another woman, he might break his legs.

If it weren't for He Yukai's support and the skills he learned from Uncle Guan, he really wouldn't dare to pursue Xu Jingli. That girl was also a proud person. Although she was usually very quiet, when she got serious, he would feel scared.

"Su Meng, your family is the intellectuals, and we are just ordinary people. We are not a good match. Your grandmother has always been on guard against me like a thief. You know this better than anyone. There is no possibility for us. I am about to get married. Don't say such things, otherwise you will lose your neighbor!"

"How am I inferior to Xu Jingli?"

"There's no comparison. We've been in love for several years. You can't force love. You'll meet the right man for you in the future. That's impossible for me!"

He Yukai nodded. Han Chunming was a sensible guy. If Han Chunming was entangled with Su Meng, he would stop him from dating Xu Jingli.

"Brother, why are you here? What have you been busy with recently? I have been looking for you several times but couldn't find you."

Xu Jingli found it very funny to see He Yukai sneaking around. This big brother, who was fifty years old, was still a naughty old man. But she was happy to cooperate and walked to He Yukai and asked softly.

"Shh..."

He Yukai immediately stopped Xu Jingli from speaking and pointed in the direction of Han Chunming. Xu Jingli's face turned cold. The last time she met Su Meng at Han Chunming's house, she felt a strong hostility.

"Why can't you give me a chance?"

"Because I like Xu Jingli, Su Meng, go back! If Xu Jingli sees me, I'm doomed. I'm leaving first!"

"and many more"

"Miss, what else can I do for you?"

Han Chunming was also puzzled. Isn't this young lady usually very proud? What happened to her today? Where is her pride as promised?
"Be careful of Chen Jianjun. Chen Jianjun has been in close contact with a mysterious person recently. He may be harmful to you!"

"Chen Jianjun? I didn't offend him, did I?"

"I didn't know that!"

Su Meng left after she finished speaking. She also knew that it was impossible. She just heard from her grandmother that Han Chunming was going to get married. She felt that the most important thing in her life was about to be lost, so she mustered up the courage to ask Han Chunming out!
She wanted to see if there was any room for redemption. There were people pursuing her at school and at work, but she just felt that she was not as good as Han Chunming. Even Chen Jianjun had been pursuing her for a long time, but she ignored him. She knew that Chen Jianjun hated Han Chunming because of this, but how could she say this to Han Chunming?
Chen Jianjun hated Han Chunming because of her? She couldn't say that.

The economy has been developing rapidly recently, and some people in the company are ready to resign and go into the industry. She is now waiting for an opportunity, a chance to get promoted. If she is not given the promotion and her best friend gets it, then she will go into the industry and find her uncle in Hong Kong Island.

Her uncle wrote to her and asked her to go back and inherit the family business. When her father was sick, there was no money for medical treatment, and it was her mother who sent a telegram to her uncle to solve the medical expenses of 50,000 yuan.

Chen Jianjun agreed immediately, but after waiting for a whole day the issue was not resolved. When she was at a loss as to what to do, her mother thought of her brother in Hong Kong and tried to contact him. Unexpectedly, she actually got in touch with him.

What she didn't know was that after Chen Jianjun agreed to her request, he went to Han Chunming to borrow money. Han Chunming was already on guard against Chen Jianjun because of He Yukai's influence, so he didn't agree to lend the money. Han Chunming had just bought a house at that time and didn't have any money. Why did he go to He Yukai to borrow money? She asked herself if their relationship had reached that level.

"Spring Brightness"

"Brother, Xiao Li, when did you get here?" "I heard everything I should and shouldn't have heard. I didn't expect that our comrade Han Chunming is such a popular person, with many admirers!"

"No, Xiaoli, you really misunderstood, this..."

Han Chunming was completely at a loss. What should he do? He didn't know which words he had heard and which he hadn't heard. He didn't dare to speak casually. If he said something wrong and was caught by Xu Jingli, it would be the end. Although Xu Jingli was sensible, he was still a bit stubborn. If he misunderstood, it would be the end.

Han Chunming felt bad when he thought of this. He turned to He Yukai for help, hoping that He Yukai would speak fair words and say that he really did nothing wrong!

He Yukai turned his head and looked elsewhere, making it clear that he didn't want to interrupt. The young couple should solve their own problems!
Han Chunming's face turned bitter and he immediately turned into a bootlicker. He Yukai got goosebumps when he saw this. With this kind of personality, no wonder he was controlled so well in the play. He is fifty years old and still not married. There was something wrong with the way He Yukai looked at Han Chunming. This guy's bootlicker attribute was not stimulated by Su Meng, but it was innate.

If Xu Jingli wasn't such a tsundere person, Han Chunming's ending would be unchangeable, and he would end up with nothing.

Han Chunming's dog-licking has reached the extreme. He can be said to be a master in the dog-licking world. However, after being tricked by Xu Jingli, he gave in so quickly.

"Okay, I really can't stand you. Xiao Li didn't hear much. Xiao Li heard everything he wanted to hear, but you didn't say anything he didn't like. You're still a well-behaved kid, otherwise your legs would be broken now!"

He Yukai couldn't stand it after eating so much dog food. Xu Jingli giggled and Han Chunming licked him. Young people nowadays are no longer as reserved as he was when he was young. As the times change, their ways of expression have become much bolder.

"Brother, let's go and talk about it when we get home!"

"No, tell me when you're going to the countryside, and we'll go take a look together. I have nothing to do recently, so I'll go take a look in the countryside. There are fewer and fewer old objects now, and people are gradually awakening to antiques from the heyday. If we don't hurry up, there will be fakes everywhere. Technology is developing faster and faster, and it's hard to distinguish the real from the fake, so it's hard to collect them."

"Brother, what a coincidence! My mom asked me to tell Chunming to go to the countryside to help look at some old furniture. If that's the case, let's go together!"

"Where to go?"

"I don't know either. I heard there's an official hat chair and table in the countryside that we need to go check out. My dad thinks it's safer to bring Chunming with us!"

"When?"

"Tomorrow, at nine o'clock!"

"Got it!"

He Yukai got the answer and prepared to go home. I believe Yan Bugui and the man surnamed Zhang have been waiting anxiously, right? The arrival of materials means that the decoration will start soon. Retro buildings take a lot of time. He Yukai wants to restore the original state of the house and the yard. The house will be equipped with modern equipment. This is a big move inside.

First of all, we must use the best electrical lines. For this kind of wooden structure house, fire prevention is the most important thing.

Secondly, the sewer system also needs to be laid, and now a bathroom can be installed in the house, which is something he has always wanted to do but has not been able to do.

Finally, the greening of the yard is the most important. The gardens, pavilions, etc. should be built. This will be your future residence, so you must pay special attention to it.

"Xiao Kai, you're finally back. This is a bit unkind. Are you really trying to isolate us by digging the foundation?"

"Uncle, don't tell me so much. You want to take advantage of me? You've found the wrong person. You don't want to sell your house, but I've bought the whole yard. The public area inside is mine. I advise you to find someone to open the door quickly! Just open a door from your home and go out to the street. How great!"

"I didn't say I didn't want to sell it. I'll sell it if you give me a little more. We've lived in the same compound for decades. You can't be so heartless!"

"I'm heartless? I know about your collusion with that Zhang man. I'll give you two thousand for this house. Either sell it to me or find a way out yourself!"

"What are you talking about? The price has dropped? Didn't you say 2,500 before?"

"I changed my mind. Two thousand. Sell it if you want!"

He Yukai also got angry. Old man, have you forgotten who I am? When has he ever suffered a loss in this courtyard?
"this..."

Yan Bugui feels like he has lost more than he gains. He doesn't know what to do now. His children and wife have already moved out. The reason he has insisted on staying here was to earn more money, but the more he insists, the less he gets.

He Yukai was too lazy to pay attention to the greedy old man Yan. Some of his words were not very good. He knew that the Yan family had suffered heavy losses in the previous two times, but these losses had nothing to do with him. Why was the loss now attributed to him? He hated this kind of attitude that was clearly calculating against you, but you still couldn't do anything about it.

He indeed has enough money, but it's not a question of whether he has it or not. He is not the kind of person who can swallow his anger when being plotted against for no reason.

"Director He, I'm selling my house to you. Please name your price!"

"two thousand"

"Two thousand? I bought this for two thousand five hundred. Isn't it a bad idea for Director He to do this?"

"When I first came to talk to you, I was willing to pay three thousand. Now it's only two thousand. Is it possible that I didn't have to pay for the labor when digging the foundation? Can't we just talk it over nicely? You have to team up with Yan Bugui to cheat me. Tomorrow we will start laying the wall. After the cost of laying the wall is calculated, I can't pay less than two thousand for your house!"

He Yukai looked at the man calmly. He didn't even want to know his name. There was no way for the Central Courtyard. Yan Bugui could at least open a door to get in and out, but for the Jia family's house, even Ai Xi couldn't open a door for you to get in and out. They could only negotiate with the people in the neighboring courtyard to open a door from the corner!

But would the people in the neighboring compound agree? Of course not.

"Okay, I sold it!"

The man surnamed Zhang regretted his decision so much that his intestines turned green. Why did he scheme against others for such a good reason? Now, he lost 500 yuan after living in the house for only two days.

He Yukai did not give in, let alone sympathize. Such a person does not deserve sympathy. He raised the price? Don't you even look at who you are facing!
