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

Yi Zhonghai stared at Gu Nan in astonishment, his mouth opened wide, as if an egg could fit in it, and asked in disbelief: "Gu Nan, what did you just say? How much... money do you want?"

Yi Zhonghai's originally calm face was now filled with shock.

Liu Haizhong, who was standing by, was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. He never expected that Gu Nan would ask for such a high price, a full two hundred yuan! You know, when Yi Zhonghai was still an eighth-level fitter, this was his full two months' salary, not to mention that Yi Zhonghai was only a fifth-level fitter now.

Liu Haizhong couldn't bear it any longer, he stepped forward. After all, although he was just a blacksmith, he did know a lot of things.

He stared at Gu Nan with his eyes wide open, and shouted, "Gu Nan, I've looked at these parts carefully, and they're only worth about thirty yuan at most. How dare you ask for two hundred yuan? Are you really crazy about money?"

Facing Liu Haizhong's question, Gu Nan just smiled and responded calmly: "Whether I am crazy about money or not, I know it in my heart. But you guys, do you think you can let me install it for you for free without paying a penny? Humph, what on earth are you thinking?"

Gu Nan knew that no matter how much money he offered, it would be useless. After all, as long as they came here, they didn't even think about spending money. They just wanted to get it for free.

Gu Nan would not do as they wish, so he offered a price of two hundred yuan to make them give up.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai looked at Gu Nan again, trying to use the deaf old lady in the backyard to pressure him, and said: "Gu Nan, you have to understand the situation. The deaf old lady in the backyard is the ancestor of our courtyard. How can you have the nerve to collect money from her?"

Yi Zhonghai knew that there was nothing more to say now, so he could only slowly play the emotional card to see if he could move Gu Nan. After all, two hundred yuan was too much money.

However, just as Yi Zhonghai was about to continue speaking, Gu Nan was quick to interrupt him, showing a hint of displeasure on his face, and refuted bluntly: "Master Yi, what you said is not right!"

Gu Nan crossed his arms, raised his chin slightly, and stared at Yi Zhonghai with a firm and sharp gaze. He then said, "It's true that the deaf old lady is your ancestor, but she is not my ancestor. I won't randomly claim ancestry like you do."

After saying this, Gu Nan turned his head to look at Liu Haizhong, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said with a somewhat sarcastic smile: "Uncle, what you said just now is right, those parts are indeed not worth much money. But don't forget, this is my craft! As the saying goes, 'One minute on stage, ten years of hard work off stage', my craft has been honed through years of training, how can it not be valuable? Don't you think so?"

Gu Nan knew that he couldn't give them any chance at all, after all, they were all greedy people.

After hearing Gu Nan's fierce words, Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he trembled all over and his old face turned red. He never thought that Gu Nan would be so disrespectful to him and contradict him in front of everyone.

Could it be that he really had to pay a full two hundred yuan to install this equipment for the deaf old lady today? Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai felt a pang of pain in his heart.

Why did Yi Zhonghai let Gu Nan give the massage to the deaf old lady first? It was because he wanted a good reputation. Plus, the deaf old lady was old, so it would be difficult for Gu Nan to refuse. But if he really had to pay 200 yuan himself, forget it.

At this time, Jia Zhang, who had been watching coldly from the side, saw the situation develop to this point and knew that her family could not afford the money at all.

So, Jia Zhang quickly reached out and pulled Qin Huairu beside her, lowering her voice and anxiously saying, "Qin Huairu, go over and talk to him. It's okay to let Dongxu come and live here, which is much better than paying these two hundred dollars."

However, Qin Huairu just stood there quietly, without any intention of moving. She lowered her head, bit her lips tightly, and thought to herself: I know Gu Nan's temper very well. Since he has said so much, he will definitely not change his mind easily. Even if I go over and plead for mercy now, it will probably be useless.

Jia Zhang gave Qin Huairu a cold look and cursed in her heart, this Qin Huairu is so useless! She pointed at Qin Huairu angrily and cursed: "Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu, you are such a good-for-nothing! You can't even do such a small thing!"

After scolding, Jia Zhang walked towards Gu Nan angrily. After walking in front of Gu Nan, she said flatteringly: "Gu Nan, we all live in the same courtyard, don't bother with us. You also know the current situation of our family. We really can't afford so much money. How about this, you can be kind and let my Dongxu live with you. It doesn't need too much space, just give him one room. Look at your house, there are so many rooms that I can't even count them!"

Ran Qiuye, who was standing by, couldn't believe her ears. How could there be such a shameless person in the world? She widened her eyes and glared at Jia Zhang, and couldn't help but scolded: "Jia Zhang, do you still have any shame? How can you say such a thing!"

However, Jia Zhang just glanced at Ran Qiuye lightly and responded nonchalantly: "Ran Qiuye, this is Gu Nan's home. Is it your turn to interfere? Don't get involved here!"

Ran Qiuye was so angry that she was shaking all over. Just as she was about to say something more, Gu Nan stopped her with his hand. Gu Nan stared at Jia Zhang coldly with a frosty face and said word by word: "Jia Zhang, I tell you, Ran Qiuye is my wife, you have no right to speak here! If you dare to make trouble again, I will kick you out! Also, your plan can be heard five miles away, so don't even think about it."

Jia Zhang didn't expect Gu Nan to be so cold-blooded, but she still wanted to give it a try: "Gu Nan, what are you talking about? What can I think of your aunt? Isn't it just because Dong Xu couldn't stand the cold that you thought so?"

"Okay, after Jia Dongxu moves in, will he need someone to take care of him? Do you want to move in with him then?" Gu Nan looked at Jia Zhang and saw how she dared to talk to Ran Qiuye. She didn't give her any face and spoke out all her thoughts.
