Siheyuan: I just came across and wanted to chase me away

Chapter 857 Qin Huairu's Provocation

Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai anxiously, her hands unconsciously twisted together, and said, "That won't do, Uncle Yi! This house absolutely cannot be given to Liu Haizhong alone. Think about it, if that happens, what will happen when Banggeng comes back from the countryside? He's already grown up, and won't he have to get married by then? Without a decent house, which girl would be willing to marry him?" Qin Huairu knew that Yi Zhonghai was getting older and had always wanted someone to take care of him in his old age. In his eyes, Banggeng was undoubtedly the best candidate at the moment. Therefore, she was sure that Yi Zhonghai would stand by her for this reason.

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he knew in his heart that Qin Huairu was using the Banggeng retirement issue to "threaten" him. He looked at Qin Huairu helplessly and said, "Qin Huairu, I understand what you said, but you also know Liu Haizhong's temper. He doesn't agree at all. What can I do?"

Qin Huairu frowned slightly, thought for a moment, looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Uncle Yi, do you think this will work? If there is really no other way, we can give each of us half of the house. That way everyone will be happy and it's the best outcome, right?"

Yi Zhonghai smiled and nodded, saying, "This is a good idea. It's impartial and will give both families an explanation. I happen to have some information about Liu Haizhong. If he still doesn't agree, then no one will want the house and we'll all go our separate ways."

Qin Huairu felt a little relieved after hearing what Yi Zhonghai said. She nodded and said, "Then I'll rely on you, Uncle Yi." After that, she turned around and went back.

However, neither of them knew that Gu Nan's black dog was lying in a corner not far away. The black dog was usually very clever and had vaguely understood their conversation. As soon as Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai left, the black dog ran back to Gu Nan's house and found Gu Nan reading in the yard. It circled around him non-stop, barking, as if telling him what it had just heard.

Gu Nan put down the book in his hand, looked at the black dog curiously, and asked with a smile: "Little guy, do you have something to tell me?" The black dog seemed to understand what Gu Nan said, and barked a few more times in the direction of the backyard. Gu Nan's heart moved, and he instantly understood what the black dog meant. He couldn't help but smile and said to himself: "I was wondering why I kept seeing them running to the backyard recently. It turns out it's because of this matter. Interesting. At this time, they actually dared to set their sights on the deaf old lady's house and want to occupy it. They are really greedy."

Gu Nan stood in the courtyard of the Siheyuan, looking at the chaotic situation in front of him, thinking about how to deal with the dispute over the house. His first thought was to call the police directly and let the police handle this thorny dispute. But on second thought, it seemed too boring to call the police just like that. It would be better to drag Yan Bugui from the front yard into the matter before calling the police, so that the matter would become a bigger commotion in the Siheyuan. He had a wishful thinking in his mind that by then the Siheyuan would be in an uproar, and no matter who wanted to occupy the house, it would be difficult to succeed in this chaos. When the commotion was almost over, he would call the police directly to see what those people with ulterior motives could say.

Qin Huairu, on her part, walked home dejectedly, feeling helpless. She knew that the negotiations with Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai had not yielded the expected results. Jia Zhangshi saw Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai talking from a distance and was eager to know the outcome. As soon as Qin Huairu entered the house, she couldn't wait to approach them and asked, "So, what did Liu Haizhong say? Can we keep the house?"

Qin Huairu shook her head helplessly, her voice low, "Liu Haizhong doesn't agree to give the house to our family, and Yi Zhonghai can't do anything about it now. After all, his words in the courtyard don't carry as much weight as before."

Jia Zhang was a typical person who used people to her advantage rather than to her advantage. Upon hearing this, she immediately frowned, looked outside, and said with disdain, "Humph, when Yi Zhonghai was still the big boss, he was at least somewhat useful. Now, he can't even do this little thing. What's the use of him?" After saying that, she turned her head to look at Qin Huairu and questioned, "What's wrong? Did Liu Haizhong just give the house in the backyard for nothing? How is this possible? We can't just let it go like this."

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang, hesitated for a moment and said, "Mom, Yi Zhonghai finally came up with a solution. He said that our two families can split the deaf old lady's house, half for each of us."

When Jia Zhang heard this, she was immediately unhappy. She had been hoping to get the whole house, so how could half for each of them be considered a solution? She said angrily, "Yi Zhonghai is so useless! I want the whole house, how can I live with half for each of them? What kind of solution is this!"

Seeing this, Qin Huairu hurriedly said, "Mom, this is what I think. You can go live there when the time comes. No matter who Liu Haizhong's family wants to live there, you can make trouble for them. Everyone in this courtyard knows that you are the most troublesome. If you make them restless, they will definitely move out. This house will still be ours."

When Jia Zhang heard this idea, her eyes lit up immediately. She thought to herself, "That's right! Everyone in this courtyard knows that they're the most unreasonable person. If I just throw a tantrum, who's to worry about them not moving out?" The house would then be hers for sure. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little proud.

But Jia Zhang still pretended to be dissatisfied. She looked at Qin Huairu and asked, "Didn't you go to see Gu Nan? How is it going? Does Gu Nan agree with us? After all, Banggeng is still a child. He can't be so heartless."

Bang Geng didn't really care about the house, but he was very concerned about not having to go to the countryside. When he heard Jia Zhang mention Gu Nan, he immediately came over and asked anxiously, "Mom, has Gu Nan agreed not to let me go to the countryside?"

Qin Huairu saw Jia Zhang and Bang Geng looking at her eagerly, feeling a pang of pain in her heart. She shook her head helplessly and said, "Gu Nan didn't even give me a chance to speak and simply refused. I didn't handle this matter well and failed to help Bang Geng."

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang was immediately furious. She pointed at Qin Huairu and cursed, "Qin Huairu, you didn't handle the house issue properly, and you didn't handle the request for help from Gu Nan properly. You are such a useless piece of shit! If you can't even do this little thing, what's the point of having you!"

Bang Geng also followed suit, looking at Qin Huairu with disgust, and said, "Mom, why don't you just talk to Gu Nan properly? Why are you so stupid? I hate you!"
