Siheyuan, I want to lie down but I become a tool

Chapter 62: If the literature doesn't work, then the martial arts

Then he entered the house. The two rooms of the deaf old lady were next to theirs. They were a suite, one large and one small. The area was about the same as his house, but since the deaf old lady lived alone, it seemed much more spacious.

After looking around, before Zhang Xingwang could speak, the deaf old lady said with a stern face:

"You little guy, you act like a thief when you enter the house. You must have no good intentions this time."

"Old lady, I see what you said, but I did come here to discuss something with you.

I have a large family and there is no room for them. I just happened to rent two rooms in the front yard, but they are too far away, so I wanted to exchange with you."

Hearing this, the deaf old lady interrupted and said sarcastically:

"You kid, you are just dreaming about this beautiful thing. Let me tell you it's impossible. I, the old lady, know it very well. You are thinking too much if you want to cheat me of my house, not to mention that you are renting it."

At this time, Zhang Xingwang continued calmly:

"Don't be impatient, just listen to me."

As a result, he was interrupted by the deaf old lady and started talking.

"I can't hear what you said!"

Zhang Xingwang ignored the old lady who pretended to be deaf and dumb, and continued:

"Old lady, let me continue. It's up to you to decide how much you want. My two rooms are rented, and you have the property certificates for these two rooms. I can pay for them, so just sell them to me.

Besides, I heard that you have a bad stutter. Although the auntie delivers meat to you every day, these days you probably don't have meat for a month.

You are old now, if you exchange houses with me, I will give you some extra money and you can live a good life for a few more days."

The deaf old lady was no longer deaf and said mockingly:

"You kid, you usually eat good food but don't even think about showing respect to me, the old lady. Now you're still thinking about the old lady's house."

After hearing this, Zhang Xingwang felt that there was a breakthrough, just like how to deal with honest officials in ancient times.

Everyone has weaknesses. This old lady is obviously greedy, so I have to start from that aspect. After thinking it over, he said:

"Deaf old lady, these days who doesn't hide the meat they eat? There's only a small amount of food every month, so everyone must be frugal.

How about this, you and I switch houses, and I’ll give you the money or find a way to get you some meat.”

After listening to this, the old lady pursed her lips, but still said sternly:

"No matter how much you say, it's useless. I'm going to leave these two rooms to my grandchildren."

"Leave it to Brother Zhuzi. He lives in the best place in the courtyard and has no shortage of houses. At this point, I have to say a few words to you. You said that he is your grandson and he should get married at his age.

Instead of waiting until you are gone to give him the house, you might as well spend some money now to clean up his house and find him a wife. Look at his house now, it is shabby and messy, and he doesn't even have any decent furniture."

"Stop talking, kid. It's useless no matter how much you say. I, an old lady, don't agree."

Having said that, the tone of the deaf old lady is obviously not as strong as before. It seems that Chihao and Shazhu have to take a two-pronged approach.

Zhang Xingwang suddenly had an idea and continued:

"Why don't you sell me the house and choose one of the two rooms in the front yard to live in first? When you have the money, you can find a wife for Brother Zhuzi. The two of us can take care of you together, and maybe you can even see your great-grandson.

The remaining money can be used to buy a few good meals. Actually, our situations are similar. You are old, and I am mentally unstable and can't afford to lose my money.

It would be nice to enjoy a good meal at the end. With the little subsidy from the five-guarantee households and the two-grain buns given by an old lady, it is good enough to be full. Otherwise, when your day comes, Shazhu is still not married, and you have always been eating bland food, what are you applying?"

The deaf old lady is now a little tempted, but the main problem is food. She has been hanging on to a diet of watery soup for several years.

No one could bear it, not to mention that she knew that at her age, she really didn't have many years left to live. Rather than living a life of starvation and starvation until death, it would be better to live a good life for a few days as this guy said.

Anyway, when I die, I can't take the house with me. I am a five-guarantee household, and I am an old woman. I rent his house, but he doesn't dare to drive me away. As long as I have a place to live and a few good things to eat, it doesn't seem to make much difference.

Seeing that the deaf old lady fell into deep thought, Zhang Xingwang began to strike while the iron was hot and make plans.

"I'll give you 300 yuan for this house, and I'll waive the rent for my other house for 10 years, or until the day you leave. What do you think?"

"Not so good, you're bullying me because I'm slow-witted. I can't even buy food with that money."

"I'll buy it for you. If you want to eat meat that day, just come to me."

Zhang Xingwang thought, it seems that the old lady is interested. Anyway, fishing is basically a no-cost business for him, so he has to work harder. He continued:

"After the change, you still have a house to live in and street assistance, so what's there to worry about? You can also use the remaining money to find a wife for your grandson, how great is that."

The deaf old lady didn't say anything this time. After a long while, she sighed and said:

"It's really a good idea, but after thinking it over, old lady, I feel that it's not possible. I can't sell the house to you."

After hearing this, Zhang Xingwang said goodbye, thinking that if literary means didn't work, he would try martial arts. He planned to stew meat at home every day to see if she could bear it.

After saying that, he went home. At this time, his mother Wang Xiulan and second sister went to clean up the dilapidated house in the front yard, and Zhang Xingwang started to renovate the kitchen.

The kitchen was originally just a simple shed, and now he opened a hole directly in the direction of the deaf old lady's house. While no one was at home, he secretly took the wild boar out of the space and took a long time to remove one of its legs.

I started processing the pork. After processing it, I put it in the space and only took out about one pound.

I took out the newly bought cookbook and sighed, realizing that I couldn’t escape the fate of cooking.

Chop the meat, put it into the pan and stir-fry for a while, add seasonings and water according to the recipe, and start simmering on low heat.

Maybe it was because I hadn't eaten pork for a long time, and when the water boiled and the smell came out, I couldn't stand it anymore. I found a fan in the house and fanned the hole.

The weather hasn't been too cold recently, so everyone's windows are open, and the aroma of meat slowly drifts over in the direction of the fan.

Sure enough, after a while, the deaf old lady was seen peeking through the window at the kitchen.

When Zhang Xingwang finished this wave of operations, it was time to get off work. After several people came back from the house, they were all restless, drooling at the kitchen, and the little girl was holding a small stool and sitting at the kitchen door waiting for food.

Zhang Xingwang saw that the deaf old lady was not greedy, but his family members could not stand it. He ordered dinner without saying anything.

I walked outside, held a big bowl and faced the deaf old lady's window. It tasted so delicious. However, this recipe is still quite reliable.

The soup made from the meat was delicious. While eating, I looked through the window and saw the deaf old lady sniffing and mumbling something, which was probably not good.
