Chapter 492: Chapter 495 More Awesome Than You_1
Tan Zhengyong finally squeezed out a sentence, "I can hold out for a quarter of an hour, even if your thing still works, it’s far worse than mine!"
The unabashed words left people dumbfounded, and several young girls and newly married daughters-in-law all blushed.
Arguing about this in front of so many people, have their brains filled with water?
Some women shooed their daughters away while they themselves waited excitedly to see how things would unfold.
"Second Brother Tan, how do you know you’re better than the Third Boss?"
"Probably compared." 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
"Maybe the Tan Family Members all like to eavesdrop at corners."
And others would occasionally throw in a word, clearly enjoying the escalating commotion.
The Tan Family really outdid themselves, airing their dirty laundry for all to hear, probably knowing that everyone gets bored in the winter and providing them with gossip.
Tie Niu cleared his throat, "This house belongs to the Fourth Boss, your arguing is pointless. Fourth Boss, whether you want to sell the house or keep it, how much are you thinking of asking for it?"
This statement was crucial, immediately giving Tan Zhenghong the upper hand.
Now that Qiao Duo’er had started receiving tasks from Qiao Duo, one could say she benefited greatly.
And as her father, he felt grateful. Plus, comparing the character of Tan Zhenghong and his wife to those from the Old Tan Family, he naturally favored Tan Zhenghong even more.
"This house belongs to the Tan Family, what’s all this talk of selling?" Li Clan said discontentedly.
Tie Niu said sternly, "The Fourth Boss has already severed ties with the Old Tan Family, they are no longer family. If you want someone else’s house, shouldn’t you pay for it? Even between brothers, you should settle accounts clearly!"
Li Clan was unconvinced and retorted, "The Fourth Boss has moved into a big courtyard, why would he care about this broken house?"
"Didn’t see you sharing the wealth when you had money in your family either."
A woman couldn’t help but chime in, she couldn’t stand the sight of Li Clan’s attitude.
Others treated her well, and she took it for granted, without the slightest notion of giving back, but who said others should always treat her well?
"Don’t talk nonsense, when did he ever have money? Look at the life they lead without Zheng Hong!"
Li Clan’s face alternated between red and white, struggling to find a reply.
"Fourth Boss, just name your price. If it’s reasonable, I’ll help you sort out the paperwork today," Tie Niu gave Tan Zhenghong a meaningful look.
Fussing over a broken house every day is not worth it.
It’s better to just sell it quickly and enjoy some peace.
Tan Zhenghong thought carefully, "It’s just a thatched cottage and it’s been built a long time ago, let’s say Five Hundred Wen.
"Are you crazy about money? You and Third Boss are still brothers, how can you have the heart to rip him off like this?"
Li Clan became unsettled, she genuinely wanted the house but had never considered buying it.
Now that the family’s only income aside from the crops was gone, and both she and Xiao Fu weren’t well and constantly needed medicine, they simply had no extra silver to spare.
Then Qiao Duo’er, who arrived later, said bluntly, "The house is mine to sell at whatever price I wish, and you have no say in it."
This statement completely extinguished Li Clan’s notion of getting the house as a gift.
The Tan Family Members were best at overstepping their bounds. Give the thatched house away today, and tomorrow someone might demand the mansion or silver.
Giving a greedy person a taste of sweetness will only lead them to endless demands.
"Money grubber, even just the land alone is worth more than Five Hundred Wen!"
"It’s only because the Fourth Boss is generous that he’s selling it. If it were someone else, even One Tael of Silver might not be enough."
"It’s because he’s nice that people take advantage of him!"
