Courtyard House: He Daqing Forces Qin Huairu into Marrying at the Beginning

He Daqing's voice was flat and without any fluctuation.

It didn't sound like they were asking a deaf old woman a question; it sounded like they were announcing a result.

Chapter 139 All Waste Paper

"Hmph, you've all made up your minds."

"Does this old woman even have the right to speak?"

The deaf old woman's cloudy pupils trembled slightly as she gritted her teeth and spoke.

The neighbors in the courtyard all responded to He Daqing's call, and the deaf old lady was powerless to resist even if she wanted to.

This time, the deaf old woman inadvertently revealed a flaw, giving He Daqing an opportunity to exploit the situation.

The deaf old woman had no choice but to temporarily give in and agree to Yan Bugui's demands.

Let's wait until things calm down before making a decision.

"Since the old lady has agreed."

"Then Yan Bugui thanks you very much."

As soon as the deaf old woman relaxed, Yan Bugui quickly seized the opportunity to step in and finalize the compensation agreement as quickly as possible.

He was an extremely stingy person, but he couldn't bear to spend his family's savings to fix the windows.

They were hoping the deaf old woman would come up with the money as soon as possible.

I will compensate for the windows in Yan Bugui's house.

I'm tired. All of you, please move away and don't crowd in front of my house; you're disturbing my rest.

"If I don't get enough rest and something happens to my health, I'll hold you all responsible."

The deaf old woman, feeling extremely upset at being taken advantage of, didn't want to stay outside any longer and turned to go back inside.

Yan Bugui quickly stepped forward and called out to the deaf old woman.

"Old lady, there's no time like the present."

I don't want much compensation, just four yuan.

Why don't you just clean it up now?

"Being debt-free is a relief; you can finally rest now that you've paid it all off."

Money that hasn't reached your hands isn't money.

Yan Bugui dared not delay for even a moment.

It took so many neighbors from the courtyard to come over before the deaf old woman finally gave in.

If the deaf old woman denies everything after the neighbors leave, Yan Bugui alone will not be able to recover his losses.

The deaf old woman glanced sideways and angrily cursed at Yan Bugui.

"Yan Bugui, you wicked seed."

"Grandma, since I promised, how could I possibly take your money back?!"

The deaf old lady was in a bad mood after being humiliated tonight. Yan Bugui even dared to push his luck, which made her so angry that she almost fainted.

Yan Bugui was not affected by the deaf old woman's insults at all. He had a gentle smile on his face and looked like he was doing what was best for the old woman.

"Grandma, it's not that I don't trust you."

This is because I'm worried that you're getting old and your memory isn't as good.

If I happen to forget to repay the money, causing you to suffer a bad reputation, then it would be my fault, Yan Bugui.

In any case, Yan Bugui must collect the debt tonight.

Not only to recover the losses, but also to tell the deaf old lady that the Yan family is not easy to bully.

"Yes, old lady, four dollars isn't a lot of money."

You should return it as soon as possible.

This will save everyone from having to worry.

He Daqing spoke out in support of Yan Bugui.

When doing something, do it properly and don't leave any loose ends.

If the deaf old woman tries to renege on her debt, the effect of this reprimand will be greatly reduced.

The neighbors all understood this, and no one wanted to cause any more trouble, so they all expressed their support for Yan Bugui.

Amidst the outcry of so many people, the deaf old woman trembled with anger, and the world before her eyes seemed to blur.

Those brats in the yard are taking advantage of her and bullying her, a lonely and helpless old woman. They're not human at all.

The deaf old woman really wanted to just faint and refuse to compensate Yan Bugui for his losses, to see what they could do.

However, reason kept telling the deaf old woman.

If we were to do that, it would inevitably provoke strong resentment from everyone.

Even if she manages to stay in the courtyard, she will still encounter obstacles in her life.

"Okay, okay, I'll pay for it, I'll pay for it."

After careful consideration, the deaf elderly woman chose to give in once again.

She stared at the group of neighbors standing in front of the house, straining her eyes to memorize the faces of all these scoundrels.

The deaf old woman was not a kind-hearted person.

She'll remember this grudge for now, and she'll definitely get her revenge when she has the chance.

"Wait for me outside."

The deaf old woman said a few words and turned to go inside.

After a long while, an old, thin arm reached out from the half-open door and threw four old bills out the door.

The door then slammed shut, sealing it tightly.

The deaf old woman had suffered too much abuse; she didn't want to see her neighbors' ugly faces again today.

He quickly squatted down, picked up the money that had fallen to the ground, and carefully checked it.

The four old banknotes were covered in dust, and the wrinkles on the surface were very stiff, clearly indicating that they had just been crumpled, making them look quite bleak.

However, it was indeed the agreed amount.

He Daqing shook his head and chuckled; the deaf old woman really held a grudge.

Finally, they resorted to this trick, trying to disgust Yan Bugui.

Unfortunately, she underestimated Yan Bugui's obsession with money.

It doesn't matter if it's old and dirty, it's all worth the same amount of money anyway.

Yan Bugui would never find it offensive.

As the farce came to an end, the neighbors in the courtyard dispersed one after another and went home.

It's getting late, we really should rest.

……

The next day, just as He Daqing returned from the factory, Yan Bugui came to his door.

Seeing Yan Bugui's anxious look, He Daqing frowned slightly.

I just learned about what happened yesterday, and now they're causing trouble again today.

This is truly unbearable.

"Yan Bugui, what's wrong?"

Suppressing his displeasure, He Daqing routinely inquired about the reason.

Yan Bugui pulled out four old banknotes from his pocket and said breathlessly.

"Uncle, I can't use the money the deaf old lady gave me."

What are we going to do about this?

Yan Bugui was filled with resentment that he could not use the compensation he had finally managed to recover.

"Can't use it?"

He Daqing leaned closer to Yan Bugui, glanced at the old coins in his hand, and suddenly realized what was going on.

The old currency has ceased to circulate in the market.

"Didn't you exchange it for new money?"

He Daqing asked again for confirmation.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

"I've been there."

But they said it was expired and couldn't be exchanged.

Yan Bugui would never be careless when it came to money.

He had already tried all the methods that could be tried.

"This money is useless, it's no different from waste paper, so it can't be considered compensation."

"Da Qing, could you please go and talk to the deaf old lady again for me?"

Yan Bugui sighed and asked with a bitter face.

"Now, it's probably not as simple as whether the deaf old lady will compensate you or not."

Tell your second and third uncles.

Let's go together.
