Sister-in-law Li was stunned, "Xiaodong, what's going on?"
Brother Li also panicked, "That's right, Xiaodong, you're so good, why don't you rent it?"
After thinking about it, he suddenly said: "Is it because the rent is low? It doesn't matter. Our rent is indeed much lower than other people's. You can tell me how much it will go up, and I won't give a shit!"
Sister-in-law Li complained and pushed back. It was indeed a fact that the rent was low.
The average monthly rent is more than 1,000 yuan lower than outside, and it is nearly 20,000 yuan a year.
On the one hand, Mrs. Zhao is kind. The rent was paid a few years ago and has never been increased at all.
On the other hand, she also has a bad mouth, and Mother Zhao is too lazy to argue with her.
But what does today mean?
Maybe it was just an excuse that Zhao Dong took advantage of and wanted to raise the rent.
My own man was so good that he bumped into me without saying a word!
She said with a smile, "Xiaodong, although our house has a lot of customers, you know that in business, the hard-earned money from working early in the morning and staying late will not make much profit, and you can't make anything at all..."
Sister-in-law Li didn't say it explicitly, but she just meant it. My hot pot restaurant is not profitable, can you bear to raise the rent?
Zhao Dong flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said, "Brother Li and Sister-in-law Li, don't get me wrong. I've already told you that it's either to increase the rent or the contract has expired and I don't want to rent anymore!"
After thinking about it, he added, "Besides, my store is too big. Since you are not making money, changing to a smaller store can also reduce the pressure."
Brother Li looked a little embarrassed. Zhao Dong said the same thing twice. Doesn't that mean he made it clear that he wouldn't rent to them?
Is it because of what happened in the afternoon?
Sister-in-law Li didn't think about the reason, and said with a smile: "Xiaodong, if you don't rent it to us, who will you rent it to? It's late at night, let your brother Li have a good drink with you, don't scare my sister-in-law with this joke!"
Brother Li hurriedly gestured, "That's right, have two drinks and let your sister-in-law get some food to go with the food! Xiao Dan, sit down too, and let's have two drinks with Xiaodong!"
While speaking, he winked and gestured.
Li Dan pretended not to see it and turned his head to look aside.
I can't describe what I feel in my heart. I feel lost, sad, relieved, and inexplicably happy.
Over the years, my brother and sister-in-law have benefited a lot from the fact that Mother Zhao is easy to talk to and unwilling to care about.
How are you today?
You'll reap the consequences!
The atmosphere was a bit awkward. When Sister-in-law Li saw that Zhao Dong was serious, she took the initiative and said, "Xiao Dong, if this is not the case, we can increase the rent by five hundred per month. Do you think that's okay?"
Zhao Dong did not answer.
Sister-in-law Li and the man looked at each other and said with some pain: "How about... add a thousand?"
Zhao Dong still didn't answer the call, so he added one thousand yuan, and the rent was six thousand five hundred yuan, which was equivalent to the market price outside.
But from a business perspective, the Li family and his wife still got a big advantage.
The facade of my house is right at the entrance of the street, has a large flow of people, is transparent, and has a large area.
If the property is listed for rent, the minimum guarantee is 8,000. If you are lucky, tens of thousands is no problem.
The reason why the price has always been low is that the market price a few years ago has never increased for my mother.
Secondly, Brother Li and his wife had just arrived in Tianzhou, and my mother wanted to take care of them.
But the purpose of his coming here tonight is really not to raise the rent.
When my mother entered the hospital, Brother Li and his wife were busy doing business. Not to mention visiting, they didn't even go over to say hello when they got out of the car.
This kind of white-eyed wolf who doesn't know how to be grateful doesn't know how to be polite to them, so why should he be polite to them?
Zhao Dong was too lazy to deal with it and stood up and said: "Okay, Brother Li and Sister-in-law Li, I have already said what I said. There are still two months, so you should hurry up."
Brother Li hurriedly stopped him, "Xiaodong, is there any misunderstanding? I have something to say..."
Seeing that Zhao Donglai was serious, Sister-in-law Li also panicked, "That's it, Xiaodong, how much do you want the increase to be? Just tell me! Who is renting but not renting?"
Zhao Dong said indifferently, "Do you have to tell me what to say?"
He sat down again and said, "Okay, let me tell you straight away, it has nothing to do with money, I won't rent it to you for any amount of money!"
As he said that, he stretched out his hand and said, "Didn't Miao Daqing promise to give you a storefront on the street? Go rent it there!"
Brother Li straightened his thighs in regret, "Xiaodong, it's my fault, it's also my fault. I was really busy in the afternoon and didn't take time to visit Mother Zhao. In this way, I will come to apologize in person tomorrow!"
Zhao Dong waved his hand, "Brother Li, there's no need to say anything else. This matter is settled. Let's get along and part ways."
He had also restrained his anger now. If he postponed the afternoon meeting, he would be kicked out directly without leaving any face to them.
A person as old as my mother said something fair about Li Dan's marriage, so the couple didn't know how to be grateful, but they actually regarded their own family as an obstacle to the God of Wealth?
In this case, you should go find the God of Wealth!
Brother Li had no idea and hurriedly motioned for Sister Li to come forward.
Sister-in-law Li bravely explained, "Xiaodong, sister-in-law knows that you are angry, but this matter really has nothing to do with us. It is Miao Daqing..."
Zhao Dong's eyes were slightly cold, "Miao Daqing, how did he know that my mother interfered with Xiao Dan's marriage?"
Sister-in-law Li's eyes dodge, "Oh, Xiaodong, who is Miao Daqing? He is very famous in the vegetable market. We, the couple, were also threatened by him, so we had no choice but to tell him..."
Zhao Dong asked sarcastically, "No way? Knowing that Miao Daqing is not a good guy, why did you still agree to him in the first place?"
Sister-in-law Li was anxious, so she told the truth: "Xiaodong, it's not easy for us to do business. We don't dare to offend anyone. I even advised Miao Daqing to stop messing around..."
Zhao Dong's voice deepened, "If you say so, you already knew that Miao Daqing was going to attack my mother? If that's the case, why didn't you tell my mother, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
Sister-in-law Li squeaked, "I never thought he would have such courage at the time..."
Zhao Dong slammed the table, "Did you not expect him to have such courage, or do you want to lend his hand to stop outsiders from meddling in others' business?"
Sister-in-law Li was completely silent. She was in the wrong in the first place. Under Zhao Dong's questioning, she naturally couldn't hide the shameful thoughts in her heart.
Brother Li felt his face heat up when he heard this, and he hurriedly lectured: "You silly bitch, Mother Zhao usually takes such good care of our family, what do you want me to say about you?"
As he said that, he looked at Zhao Dong, "Xiaodong, this matter..."
Zhao Dong waved his hand, "Brother Li, there is no need to explain, there are still two months, don't hurt your harmony!"
Seeing that Zhao Dong was unaccommodating and all her good words were useless, the sister-in-law simply lost her temper and said: "Zhao Dong, this house belongs to Zhao's mother. If you don't want to rent it, then we won't get married?"
Zhao Dong turned around and said, "Yes, I won't rent if I say you won't rent. If you don't believe me, you can go find my mother tomorrow!"
After saying that, he raised his feet and left.
If Brother Li and Sister-in-law Li insist on admitting their mistakes, he may change his mind, but Sister-in-law Li actually fools around with him?
That's embarrassing. He's a soft-spoken person but not a tough one!
