Chapter 497: Chapter 500: Inviting Yun Xu Again_1
If they could get Qiao Duo’er to revert to her former foolish state, no one would stop them from moving into the big house!
While the others from the Tan Family spoke fervently, Qiao Duo’er asked Tie Niu a question.
"Uncle Tie, can the house and land be put up for sale in the village?"
"Of course, they can. Later, I’ll have Ah Hong register it at my place. Let’s start with a price of one tael of silver. It’s just that the buyers are hard to find; you will need a lot of patience," Tie Niu said with a flash of admiration in his eyes.
This was a good plan. With the house in his hands, some of the Tan Family would be pacified.
But the consequence was that this house might always be empty, as almost no one was willing to buy a homestead in someone else’s yard.
Qiao Duo’er smartly said, "I understand. If it’s sold, then the money would be donated to the village for building bridges and paving roads."
Her aim was not to sell the house; she just didn’t want to be blamed for it being taken by someone else.
The Li Clan’s matriarch had been keeping up with the situation on this side. She said discontentedly, "Qiao Duo’er, what do you mean?"
The house was through Tie Niu’s hands, the price had doubled, and there was an additional ten percent commission.
In other words, six hundred wen money had suddenly been added to the same room!
This malicious woman must be doing this to trap her on purpose!
"Fourth Boss is not living in the house anymore, so I thought of selling it and doing something for the village in the meantime. What else could it mean?" Uncle Tie said impatiently.
The Li Clan’s matriarch snorted, "Your family has so much silver, and you say holding back one tael of silver is doing something for the village?"
"You state your amount, and I’ll give one hundred times more," Qiao Duo’er replied, extremely calm, because she knew the Li Clan’s matriarch wouldn’t want to part with even one wen money.
The Li Clan’s matriarch clenched her fists but, thinking of Qiao Duo’er’s fierce reputation, along with Tan Zhenghong and Sun Erhu, she gave up the idea. 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
If they really got into a fight, she wouldn’t gain anything.
Qiao Duo’er raised an eyebrow, "Got nothing to say? Then Ah Hong and I will head back first."
"Stop right there!" the Wang Clan matriarch yelled sharply.
Tan Zhenghong asked with a frown, "Mother, what else do you want to do?"
"Even though you have the Relationship Termination Letter, I still gave birth and raised you. You should at least wait until your brothers give an explanation before leaving," the Wang Clan matriarch said, tugging at Tan Zhenghong’s sleeve.
With such a stance from her, Tan Zhenghong could only compromise.
The Wang Clan matriarch had secured Tan Zhenghong, then she started talking again about support for the elderly, and they began to argue like a circus act.
It wasn’t long before Tan Zhengyong appeared with Master Yun Xu.
"Everyone quiet down. You all know that Fourth Boss has married a foolish daughter-in-law, but now she’s very clever. Since she came, the Tan Family has been plagued with disasters. I suspect that something unclean has been brought in, so I have asked the master to perform a ritual," Tan Zhengyong proclaimed.
Tan Zhenghong’s face was dark enough to drip ink; he hadn’t expected them to resort to this!
What sort of grudge did he have with the Tan Family?
Why were they constantly scheming to ruin his happy life?
Beyond anger, he felt more unease, because he was all too aware of the origins of his daughter-in-law.
Tan Zhenghong’s eyes were red as he said, "You’re talking nonsense!"
"What’s the rush, Fourth Boss? Master Yun Xu can communicate with the world of spirits, and he’ll know at a glance," Tan Zhengyong sneered maliciously, seeing an expression called guilt on Tan Zhenghong’s face.
Maybe there was really something fishy about Qiao Duo’er’s sudden change.
Tan Yuancheng clasped his hands together, "Master, the Tan Family has recently had no peace in our home. Please help us see what the problem is. If you can resolve it, I’ll repay you in my next life as a beast of burden," he pleaded.
