The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 282 This matter caused quite a stir (Bonus chapter 310 for the emergence of pornographic photographers)

Just as Hu Biao and Annie were sitting at the cashier, discussing whether to sell the half-antique they had in hand, and whether half a piece would be easy to sell, Mina was feeling rather bored.

Suddenly, a loud female voice rang out from outside:

"Put it down! Put these things down right now. These tables and chairs belong to me. What right do you have to take them? If you don't put them down, I'll have the officers arrest you all."

Upon hearing the commotion, Hu Biao and Annie exchanged a glance, hurriedly put down the half-antique they were holding, and walked out of the shop.

Seeing this, Mina quickly followed.

Upon reaching the door, I saw the landlady standing outside a Lalamove truck with her arms outstretched, blocking the view of several male employees, including Si Yan, as they loaded the tables and chairs onto the truck.

The male landlord, looking embarrassed, tried to pull her aside, but she shoved his hand away, cursing angrily:
"Get lost! How could I have married such a good-for-nothing like you?"

Seeing Hu Biao and Annie come out, the landlady became even more agitated, putting one hand on her hip and pointing at the two of them with the other, and started cursing:

"Hey Mr. Hu, these chairs and benches are leftovers from when Xiao Sun ran his braised chicken rice restaurant. Since he didn't want them back then and didn't move them, they're now mine, the landlord's, property."

How dare you! Who gave you the right to move it?
Put it back exactly as it was moved out, and pay me back if there's even a scratch.

"Oh, right! All those pots, pans, and small appliances in Xiao Sun's shop also belong to my family. Don't even think about taking a single soup spoon with you."

Because the landlady's voice was unusually loud, it attracted the attention of many nearby shopkeepers and passersby in a very short time.

Many uninformed passersby pointed and whispered at the shop, their eyes full of disdain, as if Hu Biao and his gang were truly shameless.

Seeing this, the landlady became even more smug.

Faced with this situation, Annie was both angry and amused; she had seen many unreasonable people, but this was the first time she had ever met such an irrational woman.

Although she didn't know this big jerk when Hu Biao sublet the shop from the previous owner.

However, during a later conversation with Hu Biao, I learned some details about the situation.

For example, the transfer fee that Hu Biao gave to Xiao Sun included all the appliances, kitchenware, tables and chairs in the store, and this was even noted in the transfer contract.

So the landlady is talking complete nonsense and trying to take advantage of them.

After thinking about all this, Annie made a decision: even if all these secondhand items were added together, they wouldn't be worth much money, not even enough to buy her a bottle of high-end perfume.

But even if you throw it in the trash, it won't benefit the landlady.

Enraged, the girl rolled up her sleeves and prepared to grab the landlady by the hair and drag her away so that the bespectacled men could continue loading the truck.

My husband is a man, so it's true that it's inconvenient for him to get into a fight with a woman! But she's still here.

She usually values ​​elegant manners, but that's no excuse for standing by and watching her man being bullied. When it's time to take action, she won't hesitate.

Amazing! This is considered an internal contradiction among the people, so instead of using those fighting techniques against the Japanese, we can use the hair-pulling and other fighting techniques used by women.

When Mina saw Annie rolling up her sleeves and preparing to go forward, she immediately followed suit, even showing a hint of eagerness, displaying a sisterly bond.

Fortunately, Hu Biao was quick-witted and grabbed both of their arms.

Annie, who was initially furious, was still struggling, but Hu Biao instinctively slapped her on the buttocks, and she immediately and miraculously became obedient.

Seeing that her cousin had suddenly become well-behaved, Mina stopped with some regret.

At this point, Hu Biao finally spoke up and said loudly:
"Landlord, it's not about who shouts the loudest to be right. The transfer contract I signed with Brother Sun already stated that these costs were included in the transfer fee."

"You tightwad, call the police right now! I'm taking these things with me today!"

The moment the words fell, the landlady became even more frantic...

******
The landlady has been in a bad mood lately, and as time goes on, it can even be described as manic.

The reason is simple: as soon as Hu Biao said he wouldn't rent her shop, didn't she immediately post the rental advertisement? She not only posted it at the entrance of the small shop in Deyuelou, but also had her husband post it in many places in Majuqiao.

More than a week has passed, and she hasn't received a single call from anyone looking to rent a room. It's not at all like she expected, where she wouldn't have trouble finding a place to rent.

Realizing that things couldn't continue like this, the couple went to a real estate agency after lunch today.

My plan is to pay a small agency fee and lower the price by 10-20% to rent it out cheaper.

Unexpectedly, the real estate agent was initially quite enthusiastic, but when she mentioned that she wanted to lower the rent by 10% or 20%, the agent's expression changed.

He bluntly stated that physical businesses have been struggling in the last year or two.

It's quite lucky to be able to rent it out at half the price; at such a high price, what sucker would be willing to take it on? They can't do this business.

Take care, and don't bother seeing me off...

The landlady was already extremely agitated after being rejected by the real estate agency.

On my way home, I passed by the small shop and saw Four-Eyes and his friends carrying tables and chairs with smiles on their faces, saying that the main store was much bigger and located in the city center, so business would be much better.

The anger in his heart immediately reached its peak and then erupted.

Although they knew that these secondhand items were nothing compared to Hu Biao's daily profits, they still tried to stop the other party from taking them away.

Basically, the main idea is that if you're unhappy, the other person shouldn't be happy either.

Unexpectedly, Hu Biao said that all these things were included in the original transfer contract, so wouldn't even this small amount of trouble be left unaddressed to the other party?

Increasingly enraged, the landlady did something that she herself found crazy in retrospect.

After picking up a mop, he stomped on the strips of cloth, grabbed only a wooden stick, and rushed into the store, smashing things up.

During this process, he felt an indescribable sense of joy, completely ignoring the strange looks Hu Biao and the others were giving him.

Before long, the police officers who received the call arrived, but everything in the store had already been smashed to pieces.

Seeing the officer approaching her, the landlady, her thoughts unspoken, blurted out:
"No need to trouble you. I know the law. This piece of junk isn't worth enough to warrant a prison sentence. I'll just give it back to them and let them use it to buy medicine."

To be fair, the landlady is quite capable.

That is, assuming Hu Biao didn't take a certificate from his pocket; after seeing its contents, she felt a sudden dizziness...

It was a little after 11 p.m. that night, in a shop that was in complete disarray.

The male landlord, with a cautious smile, said to Hu Biao:

"Xiao Hu, how about this? This storefront is 43 square meters in total, and the market price is around 2.3 yuan per square meter."

I'll take you to transfer the ownership tomorrow. All the expenses will be on my payroll. How about compensating you for half of the antique and the other losses incurred by the store?
You can sign the letter of understanding after the transfer of ownership is completed.

That's right! The landlady was locked up by the police because the amount of damage during the vandalism was huge. If Hu Biao hadn't shown leniency, she would probably have been locked up for a long time.

That's why the male landlord came to the door, offering a storefront as compensation.

Although Deyuelou's original shop had three storefronts, the area of ​​one storefront was enough to be used as a branch.

More importantly, this is their own storefront.

Before agreeing, Hu Biao glanced at his future landlady questioningly; seeing how much older the male landlord looked, Annie softened and nodded.

As a result, the former "lying down" guy from Majuqiao finally has a decent fixed asset of his own.

I ended up becoming a landlord instead of a renter, and this mess is making a huge fuss...
