187 Chapter 187: A Difficult Woman
Seeing that the woman was about to cling to him, Huang Dalang quickly dodged to the side.
“Stand aside!” he retorted with a look of disdain.
A look of anger flashed across the woman’s face, but she quickly smiled again.
“How can this courtyard house be worth 90 taels? Since you can’t sell it anyway, why don’t you continue to rent it to our family? At least you can collect some rent, right?”
!!
Looking at the smile on the woman’s face, Huang Dalang only felt a wave of nausea.
He had never seen such a disgusting and difficult woman.
“Whether it’s worth 90 taels or not, I have the final say. I won’t rent it out even if it means my courtyard house has to remain empty.”
“Hurry up and find a new place!” Waving his hand impatiently, Huang Dalang quickly went to look for Liu Daniu.
Even if his plan to show the house to prospective buyers was ruined again, he still had to take good care of his guests.
After all, this group of people was Madam Liu’s neighbor back in the village.
“Hey…” The woman was still chasing Huang Dalang.
Liu Daniu and the others were speechless when they saw this.
In particular, Big Girl Li felt a strong sense of disgust for that woman after seeing her for a while.
The weather was already hot, and she was pregnant, yet she had to listen to that woman’s endless unreasonable pestering.
Even though she wasn’t the one being pestered, Big Girl Li still felt a headache coming on.
Thus, Big Girl Li spoke, “Big Brother Huang, this courtyard house is not bad. We’re quite satisfied. Please take us to see the rooms now.”
As she spoke, Big Girl Li intentionally glanced at the woman.
Huang Dalang’s eyes lit up when he heard that.
“No problem! You guys, follow me!” he hurriedly said.
The woman’s face turned grim, and she even rushed to the front to block him.
“Hey! What did you mean by not bad? Did you go to the other houses for a look? This courtyard house is so run-down. What’s good about it?”
“Moreover, this courtyard has been expanded outward and built against the law several times. The courtyard area and the area on the land deed don’t match at all!” she shouted.
Big Girl Li’s brows knitted, and her hands felt a little itchy.
To her surprise, before she could make a move, she saw her man take a step forward.
“It’s none of your business whether we look at other courtyard houses or not. Move aside. Don’t block the way.” Liu Daniu glared at the woman with displeasure, his expression quite ferocious.
The woman was shocked.
In the past, when she did this, the people who were looking at the house would find it troublesome and turn around to leave at once.
Why was the situation different this time?
However, it was only for a moment before the woman straightened her neck and shouted at Liu Daniu and the others, “I… This is still the courtyard house that my family rented. You guys can’t go in!”
She was just a woman who didn’t even have the strength to truss a chicken. She didn’t believe that they would dare to lay a finger on her.
Liu Daniu frowned instantly and was about to make a move.
Huang Dalang finally stepped forward and grabbed Liu Daniu’s shoulder, pulling him back.
“What do you mean you rented the courtyard house? Your family only paid rent for two rooms.”
“We’ll just look at the other rooms. Hurry up and move aside,” Huang Dalang said, barely controlling his temper.
The woman’s expression changed.
“No way! This is the courtyard house my family rented. You guys are not allowed to enter. Hurry up and get out!” She actually retorted fiercely.
When Big Girl Li heard this, she couldn’t suppress her anger anymore.
She immediately prepared to roll up her sleeves…
However, she was once again pulled back by Liu Daniu.
Liu Daniu glanced at the woman who was looking at his wife with a hint of fear in her eyes. He forced himself to suppress his anger.
“They are moving out the day after tomorrow, correct? We’ll come back the day after tomorrow. What do you think, Big Brother Huang?” He said to Huang Dalang.
He had to admit that he had said this on purpose. He just wanted to anger this annoying, trouble-making woman to death.
He had already thought about it just now. They were only here to look at the house.
He did not necessarily have to buy it.
He didn’t have to stand up for the Huang family just because he didn’t like this woman.
If there were any trouble, they would still be the ones to suffer.
Huang Dalang looked at the annoying woman in front of him and then at Liu Daniu and the others.
A look of helplessness flashed across his face, and he was quite touched.
“Alright. We’ll come again when the lease is up,” he said.
As he spoke, he ignored the woman and left with Liu Daniu and the others.
The woman panicked when she saw this.
She really wanted to stop them, but she didn’t know what she could do after she stopped them.
She had said everything she needed to say, but these people who had come to see the house were not affected at all.
Moreover, they seemed to be deliberately going against her.
...
What should she do?
Were they really going to return the house three days later and move out of there?
No way! This was their home. Where could they go?
It seemed that she had to discuss this with her husband.
If 40 taels really couldn’t buy this courtyard house, they could just top up a little more.
Huang Dalang led the group of people out of the courtyard house without saying a word along the way.
Only when they had left the illegal construction area and the road was wider did he turn around and apologize to everyone.
“I’m sorry for making you all come here for nothing today.”
Liu Daniu and the others exchanged glances.
“Big Brother Huang, you’re being too serious.”
“It can’t be considered a wasted trip. We’ve seen the general condition of the courtyard house. Although we didn’t enter the rooms, I saw two of the rooms had their doors open, so I was somewhat able to see the situation inside.”
...
Huang Dalang still looked apologetic.
“Buying a courtyard house is not a small matter. I have to let you all see clearly.”
“Looking at the current situation, sigh…” As he said that, Huang Dalang sighed.
“If all of you don’t mind, I’ll bring you here again in four days.”
“Before that, I’ll definitely drive them out.” Huang Dalang promised.
Liu Daniu and Big Girl Li looked at each other.
“That woman…” Liu Daniu opened his mouth hesitantly.
“I’m afraid this matter isn’t that simple, right?”
Huang Dalang’s face froze.
Then, he smiled faintly.
“The lease period is over. If they don’t leave, what can they do?”
“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of the tenants. Four days later, you can come to my house to look at it again, Brother Liu.”
“If you’re really interested in that courtyard house, we can discuss the price again,” Huang Dalang simply gave in.
It was mainly because he had suffered this kind of trouble a few times, and he was already very annoyed.
In addition, he had quite a good impression of this family.
He also felt that they were sincere in wanting to buy the courtyard house.
Liu Daniu’s eyes lit up.
“Great! Then we’ll wait for you for a few days, Big Brother Huang!” he replied.
Before he looked at the courtyard house, he thought the 90 taels of silver the other party asked for was a little too expensive.
However, after looking at the courtyard house, he realized that it was indeed not small. It was almost as big as the Song family’s courtyard dwelling.
Although he didn’t enter the rooms, he could see the situation in each room.
However, from what he observed in the courtyard, each room would not be small.
Thus, 90 taels for a courtyard house like this was not considered expensive. In fact, it was even a little cheap.
He guessed that the Huang family offered this price because of the tenant.
If he could successfully deal with that family, he would definitely be able to sell this courtyard house for 90 taels.
Huang Dalang quickly agreed.
Only then did he return to Yong An Lane with this group of people.
At the Song family’s place, Madam Liu took Wang Xiaomei to the kitchen to heat up some food and then cooked two more dishes to serve Liu Daniu and the others.
Qin Xiaoyao and Madam Liu sat at the table and listened to them relate their experience viewing that courtyard house.
