At dusk, the rain was still falling. Zhao Zhanfu was squatting in the front yard with his two sons, muttering to himself.

"Dad, you can go if you want. I can't afford to lose face with that person. You just offended him, and now you want him to pay for our house."

"Tell me, tell me how can this be true?"

Zhao Zhanfu glared at his eldest son who was speaking. "You useless thing, didn't I teach you to create opportunities when you don't have them?"

"Think about it, there are five of us living in one house now, but if we sell this shabby house, we can buy two bigger houses together, and then we won't have to live in such a crowded place in the future."

"Boss, don't forget that your wife is about to give birth!"

Zhao Laoer, who was standing next to him, scratched his head in embarrassment. "But, how much do you want for our room?"

Zhao Zhanfu thought about it.

"Just one thousand five hundred dollars!"

Seeing this, Boss Zhao exclaimed, “Dad, are you crazy?”

Zhao Lao Er also said helplessly: "Dad, your number is a bit too high. Lin Dong's room was only sold for 320 yuan. We want yuan. Can He Yuzhu agree to it?"

"Hey, you two are good-for-nothings."

"Can our house be the same as Lin Dong's?"

Zhao Lao Er was unconvinced and said, "Aren't they all wing rooms? What's the difference?"

"idiot!"

"I just wonder why I, who is so smart, gave birth to two idiots like you."

"First of all, He Yuzhu is buying houses throughout the courtyard. Now, besides their family, the Jia family is the only one left in the middle courtyard. This shows that he is very interested in the houses in the courtyard."

"Also, although their family has a large population, the couple only make 140 to 50 yuan a month. After so many years, they don't need that 1,000 yuan."

"I've found out everything. There's a house in Yanzhi Hutong in our alley. The price is 2000 yuan. We can buy it with another yuan."

The two sons of the Zhao family were attracted as soon as they heard it. A house with a private entrance and a yard, wouldn’t it be so comfortable if they lived in it?

The key is that my father's analysis is reasonable, so it is possible to negotiate this price.

"Dad, let's go find He Yuzhu later, shall we?"

"Don't worry, it's getting dark now. Let's go tomorrow morning."

The three of them smiled at each other obscenely, but they were so excited chatting that they didn't notice that there was a person squatting in the shadow of the corner, and their conversation was heard clearly by this person.

After hearing their intentions clearly, this person slowly retreated back to the middle courtyard.

At this time, He Yuzhu was checking the mosquito net in the tent, fearing that mosquitoes would come in at night and bite the children. After finishing the inspection, he came outside leisurely. Looking at the drizzle outside the shed, He Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, come quickly!"

"What's wrong Huazi?"

However, Ma Hua mysteriously pulled He Yuzhu to the cooking shed.

"Master, when I went to the toilet just now, I heard Mr. Zhao in the front yard say that he wanted to sell the house to you."

"Oh?" He Yuzhu immediately became interested. "Didn't he say how much he wanted to sell it for?"

"Don't even mention it. This stingy old man is really bold. He even discussed with his son to sell it to you for 1500 yuan."

"Master, I only spent 2100 yuan to buy the courtyard. It's too much to ask for that price for the two rooms. Master, don't be fooled by him."

He Yuzhu nodded calmly. "Don't worry, their broken house might collapse if there is another aftershock."

Ma Hua was stunned and said, "If it collapses, no one would be willing to pay even 500 yuan, let alone 1,500 yuan."

"Okay Huazi, it's getting dark, you should go back to bed."

Ma Hua responded and left, but He Yuzhu sat at the door of the shed and thought about his recent actions. He felt that he seemed to have spoiled these neighbors too much.

Take Zhao Zhanfu for example. Although he doesn't have much presence in normal times, when he really starts to scheme against people, he is even more disgusting than Yan Bugui.

Although Yan Bugui is a stingy guy, he at least has some bottom line. But Zhao Zhanfu has absolutely no bottom line at all.

He clearly remembered that in his previous life, even though the younger generation in the yard didn't care much about the elderly, they would at least bring some things to see during the holidays.

Since Zhao Zhanfu came to the nursing home, his two sons not only did not show up, they even did not come to see him after he died.

This also shows that no one in this family is a good person, but their halo is overshadowed by people like Yi Zhonghai in the yard.

Now, under his influence, Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family have been marginalized in the Siheyuan, so people like Zhao Zhanfu were directly exposed.

He Yuzhu felt that he could not indulge people like Zhao Zhanfu, otherwise he would be as arrogant as Qin Huairu. Moreover, even if he got the two shabby houses in their family, he would have to tear them down and rebuild them. It would be better to use the earthquake as an excuse to let them "collapse" by themselves!

Without further ado, He Yuzhu strolled to the central courtyard. Qin Huairu happened to be chatting with Banggeng under the eaves of the west hall in the front yard.

"Bang Geng, do you hate me for not arranging a good job for you?"

"No, no!"

"Then why don't you even listen to me?"

"Mom, I didn't disobey you, it's just that idiot Zhu was really too much."

Qin Huairu sighed. "Okay, he's not your silly uncle anymore, so you have to be more sensible in what you do in the future."

"Bang Geng, remember this, our family is already having a hard time. If you cause any more trouble, there will really be no hope for our family."

Bang Geng sat there in silence and thought for a while. "Mom, don't worry. If I'm not absolutely sure in the future, I will definitely not provoke Sha Zhu!"

He Yuzhu felt helpless. This dog could not change his nature. He had not caused any trouble to him, but this guy actually wanted to cause trouble to him. It seemed that he had to speed up his plan, otherwise the "Thief Saint" would always be a potential trouble.

But at this moment, there was suddenly another aftershock. Qin Huairu and Bang Geng were so scared that they quickly ran to the center of the yard, while He Yuzhu seized the opportunity and quickly came to the side of Zhao Zhanfu's house.

Then he put his hand on the ground, and a moment later a big hole appeared on the side of the house. He Yuzhu didn't expect the effect to be so good.

But he had no time to stay, because the house lost its foundation and began to sway with the earthquake. He Yuzhu saw that something was wrong, turned around and ran back to the central courtyard.

Boom ~

Suddenly there was a loud noise in the front yard, followed by Zhao Zhanfu's shrill cry.

"Oh my God, how come this earthquake collapsed our house?"

"Ah~ I can't live like this..."

Immediately following was the exclamation of the two Zhao brothers. "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh, old man, you must not get hurt, otherwise where can we get money to treat your illness?"

He Yuzhu chuckled and followed the group of people who were awakened to the front yard. Zhao Zhanfu had just woken up because of his wife's words.

As soon as he saw He Yuzhu, he shouted as if he saw his own father: "Zhuzi, Zhuzi, don't you want to buy a house? We will sell these two rooms to you. The price is not high. I only want 500."

"No, I only want 800 yuan!"

Everyone looked at Zhao Zhanfu strangely, because their house was already in ruins, but he still had the nerve to ask for a price higher than the market price. Could it be that the collapse of the house just now had shocked him and made him stupid?

He Yuzhu looked back at the house, then slowly said, "No, where is your house?"

"That's right, isn't it? You're going to have to renovate it anyway, so just think of it as a sign of pity for an old neighbor like me and take the 800 yuan!"

"Humph, with this piece of ruins like yours, if I get it, I'll have to find someone to clean it up at a cost?"

"200 yuan. If you want to sell it, I'll take it. If you don't want to sell it, forget it!"

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he did not stay any longer. He left Zhao Zhanfu, who was distraught, and turned around to take his family back to the central courtyard.

The neighbors who were watching the fun in the yard started talking about it. Some of them felt that He Yuzhu was unkind, while others said that Zhao Zhanfu was too greedy.

Only Zhao Zhanfu sat there as if he had lost his soul. He regretted why he didn't listen to his two sons and go directly to He Yuzhu.

Now, people can offer two hundred yuan to buy a piece of land. In fact, he knows in his heart that two hundred yuan is already a lot, but he always feels that he has suffered a great loss.

The more I thought about it, the sadder I became. Finally, my body softened and I passed out again...
