Wang Xinjie came to Tang Qing holding a suitcase in her hand.
"Okay, let's go!"
Tang Qing held Wang Xinjie's hand and walked out of the villa.
"Master Jiujin, Xinjie, you can't leave, you must not leave."
Carpenter Wang caught up with him, and Bao Wenzhen followed behind with a sway.
"Why can't you leave? Anyway, you don't regard me as one of your own. Besides, this villa no longer has the surname Wang, can Xinjie still live here?"
Tang Qing did not stop and continued to pull Wang Xinjie forward.
Carpenter Wang chased closely, shouting as he chased:
"Master Jiujin, you are my relative, a relative closer than my own mother, but, just..."
"Grandpa, can you stop being just this? You know what? Except Master Jiujin, no one can help you or me!"
Wang Xinjie stopped.
Tang Qing had no choice but to stop, turned around and faced Carpenter Wang who was catching up and said:
"If you have something to say at the People's Barber Shop, it's already someone else's home and I don't want to stay any longer!"
"Okay, okay, I'll close the door. Once it's closed, I'll come right back."
Carpenter Wang ran back to the villa.
"Bao asked, what are you doing standing there? Come here and take Xinjie to my house."
"Oh, good, good!"
When Bao inquired about it and heard Tang Qing calling him, he quickly got into a rickshaw and drove Tang Qing and Wang Xinjie to the hut where Tang Qing lived.
"Take this money and call the butcher and Shanghai Aunt on your mobile phone. Da Mao and Sha Gu will wait for me at the People's Barber Shop."
Tang Qing handed Bao a fifty-yuan note.
"Master Jiujin, I'm going to call the butcher's cell phone right away. Is this money? Is it money..."
Bao Wenting looked at the fifty-yuan note and hesitated to accept it.
"Don't pretend to be noble in front of me, take it!"
Tang Qing threw the money on the rickshaw and accompanied Wang Xinjie upstairs.
"Master Jiujin, are you embarrassed that I live here?"
"Then where do you live? Do you have a place to stay?"
"Master Jiujin, I have to report to school soon, so I will disturb you for a while. But what about grandpa? Where does he live?"
"He doesn't have to worry about it. I have my own arrangements. After you put down your things, come with me to the People's Barber Shop."
"good."
When Tang Qing and Wang Xinjie arrived at the People's Barber Shop, Carpenter Wang, Bao Datan, the butcher, Shanghai Aunt, Da Mao and Sha Gu were already waiting there.
"Da Mao, what did Police Xiao Wang say about your matter?"
Tang Qing did not mention Carpenter Wang's matter first, but asked Da Mao first.
"Master Jiu Jin, policeman Xiao Wang said, I only had one day left to eat steamed buns. This time I have made meritorious service as a commando of the People's Barber Shop, so he will supervise me to reform at home."
Da Mao answered timidly.
"That's good. Do you two still rent in the same place?"
Tang Qing asked Silly Gu.
"Master Jiujin, you still live there."
The silly girl answered in a very soft voice, probably because she was worried that Tang Qing would scold her.
"How many months have you paid the rent? Have you paid it in one lump sum?"
"Master Jiujin, we have only paid the deposit and the first half of the year's rent. The second half of the year's rent has not yet been paid."
"Has the landlord ever pressed you?"
“I urged you several times, but no one paid it, so we didn’t pay it.”
"good!"
Tang Qing slapped his thigh, beaming with joy.
"Master Jiujin, this must be bad, right? The landlady said that if we don't pay half a year's rent to her card before the end of the month, she won't let us move in."
The silly girl didn’t know why Tang Qing said yes. She also didn’t know that the rented house belonged to Carpenter Wang’s family.
"Master Wang, have you ever collected rent before?"
Tang Qing turned to Carpenter Wang.
"I collected it several times."
Carpenter Wang didn't understand why Tang Qing asked him this?
"Then some tenants must know you, right? Do they know you are the landlord?"
"Old tenants who have rented for several years must know me and know that I am the landlord."
"Very good. After we discuss the matter, you can go over and collect the rent immediately and collect all the rent for the second half of the year!"
"Master Jiujin, that house already belongs to them? Can I take it over?"
"Are they allowed to be unkind but not us? Not only do you have to collect all the rent for the second half of the year, but you also have to collect all the rent for next year and the year after that."
"Then what if they come back to find me?"
"Hey, I'm worried that they won't come back. As long as they dare to come back, I will immediately ask Lawyer Gao to take action and let them go in to eat steamed buns!"
"Master Jiujin, is it possible to let them in?"
"It's not possible, but it's completely possible! It's just that I don't think they will dare to come back easily, so you should just collect your rent safely."
"Master Jiujin, this rent is not a small amount of money."
"So, you must go and collect it."
"Master Jiujin, I'm too thin-skinned to do anything."
"In this way, Da Mao and Sha Gu happen to live there now. You can take the young couple to check in with each tenant later. From now on, they will be responsible for collecting the rent."
"Where do Da Mao and Sha Gu live?"
Carpenter Wang looked at Da Mao and Silly Gu, not quite believing it.
"Master Wang, we didn't know that was your building before, haha."
"It was the flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple. One family didn't know the other, hehe."
Da Mao and Sha Gu giggled.
"Master Wang, from now on, Da Mao and Sha Gu will collect the rent of that building and hand it over to you, and their rent will be waived as hard work compensation, okay?"
Tang Qing asked Carpenter Wang for his opinion.
"Okay, okay, absolutely okay!"
Carpenter Wang nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, as long as Da Mao and Sha Gu come forward, I will ensure that the rent will be paid to you in full. Da Mao, Sha Gu, is it okay?"
Tang Qing has already seen the importance of Shagu among the tenants.
"No problem, no problem!"
"Of course there's no problem, I'm just a bit embarrassed to live here for free."
Da Mao and Sha Gu were polite and happy in their hearts.
"You two, don't be polite. Master Wang also has extra income. Master Wang, with this income, Xinjie's college expenses should be no problem."
Tang Qing himself was very happy.
"No problem, there will definitely be no problem."
Carpenter Wang is very relaxed. What he is most worried about is Wang Xinjie’s tuition fees.
"Xinjie's tuition fees are settled, and the next step is to solve the problem of reopening the furniture store."
Tang Qing poured a glass of water and drank it in one gulp.
"Master Jiujin, I think it's better to forget about the furniture store. It's impossible to reopen it."
Carpenter Wang was already disheartened.
"If you don't open a furniture store, are you still Carpenter Wang? How about you set up a fortune-telling stall in Lushan Park?"
Tang Qing rolled his eyes at Carpenter Wang.
"Master Jiujin, it's not that I don't want to open a furniture store. I really can't afford to carry the heavy burdens of a furniture store. Alas."
Carpenter Wang began to sigh again.
"Master Wang, if Master Jiujin asks you to drive, just do it. Master Jiujin will definitely have a way to help you get rid of those big burdens."
Bao inquires and interrupts.
"Hey, if you don't speak, I've forgotten your existence. Go and tell Dadu Qian that he can send all the money that Master Wang has left to me before noon tomorrow, otherwise I'll let him
I can’t eat and walk around!”
"Hey, okay, okay, I'll go right away, go right away."
"Remember, including the money from the birth, you can't lose a penny!"
"Remember, remember."
Bao Wenchen swung out of the People's Barber Shop in a hurry.
"Master Jiujin, how do you know that I have money and put it in Daduqian's place to 'money begets money'?"
Carpenter Wang's thin old face turned red and white, feeling extremely embarrassed.
"Since you and Bao are both unwilling to tell me, I have no choice but to be tough. Let me tell you, you'd better not be petty here!"
Tang Qing didn't give Carpenter Wang any face at all.
"Wang Carpenter, don't be petty in front of Master Nong Jiujin."
"That's right, who is Master Jiujin?"
"Master Jiujin's flaming eyes are even more powerful than Sun Wukong."
"If you act petty in front of Master Jiujin, you will definitely end badly."
Shanghai Aunt, Pig Killer, Da Mao, and Silly Aunt all accused Carpenter Wang.
Carpenter Wang's face became even more ugly, and he stammered in defense:
"I'm not being petty. How could I dare to be petty in front of Master Jiujin?"
