Things in the yard are urgent, but Chen Hai is not in a hurry.
Even if Aunt Liu, Old Man Li and others all move out and the whole yard is successfully handed over to him, he will have to spend a lot of time to repair and repair it before he can successfully move in.
If the worst happens, it is not impossible that all the houses inside will be demolished and rebuilt.
After all, the few houses in the courtyard are really dilapidated and a bit in disgrace.
Wu Shoemaker moved away in a hurry, which shows that Chen Hai's methods have worked.
At this moment, he asked Bai Xiaohang, Aunt Liu, Old Man Li and others about their current situation. He was just a little curious about it.
"Boss, when Wu Shoemaker moved out, Dongzi and I went over to the yard to have a look."
"I don't know what happened today. Old Man Li, Zhang Butcher and the others didn't set up stalls on the street, they just stayed in the yard."
"A few of them were sneaking around. They didn't know what they were discussing when they got together, and they even started arguing with each other."
"When they saw Dongzi and I, they were stunned for a moment and quickly stopped arguing."
"Dongzi and I didn't stay there any longer. We came over to the school as soon as possible to report to you that Shoemaker Wu has moved away."
…
After picking up two peanuts, put them into his mouth, and took another sip of wine, Bai Xiaohang reported to Chen Haihui.
"We gathered together to discuss the matter, but they still have no intention of moving out of the yard?"
"Okay, I get it!"
Nodding, Chen Hai ordered again: "In the past few days, I would like to trouble you and Dongzi to pay more attention to things in my yard."
"Not only during the day, but also at night, you'd better go there and hang out a few times."
"If anything happens, you can call my pager and let me know as soon as possible!"
There are people available under him. For ordinary things, he doesn't have to do it himself. He can just tell Bai Xiaohang to go to Dongdong to do it.
Although Chen Hai has to spend a lot of money to recruit a few subordinates, in general, it will be of some benefit to him.
For example, if he had to go there and keep an eye on the matters in this courtyard right now, it would be extremely troublesome.
"Okay, boss!" Looking at each other, Bai Xiaohang and Xiangdong nodded almost at the same time.
It was only noon now, and a few people ate their meal until after one o'clock before they finally dispersed.
Chen Hai went back to school, and Bai Xiaohang went eastward, heading towards the direction of Liuhua Hutong.
As for Tian Mingjian, he still retains his military ethics for the time being.
He ordered a box lunch and ate the meal in the car outside instead of entering the restaurant to dine with Chen Hai and the others.
In this regard, Chen Hai did not force it.
After all, he knew very well that Tian Mingjian's thoughts were not on his side at all.
…
Liuhua Hutong, inside Chen Hai's courtyard.
Aunt Liu, Old Man Li, and other members of Butcher Zhang's family were still gathered together, chattering and arguing.
"Guys, you should be very aware of what happened in the courtyard in the past few days."
"You have all heard him talk about Shoemaker Wu's situation. Although the strange things that happened to our families are not so evil, who can be sure that what happened to Shoemaker Wu is not so evil.
Will it fall on us?"
"Although it's still unclear why this courtyard where we have lived for so many years suddenly became so evil, we can't delay this matter. We must solve it thoroughly as soon as possible!"
"Otherwise, we can only follow Wu Shoemaker's example and move out of here as soon as possible."
"You have all seen what happened when Wu Shoemaker moved out. The new landlord named Chen was very stingy. Just because Old Wu moved out a few days beyond his time limit, the one-month rent subsidy he promised was not enough.
He didn’t even give me a penny.”
"You said to yourself, would you be willing to just move out without getting a penny in compensation?"
"In my opinion, as long as everyone works together, we can support this courtyard for a little longer."
"When the boy surnamed Chen becomes really anxious, we will negotiate terms with him."
"A compensation of eight thousand to ten thousand children may not be realistic, but if he compensates one family three to five thousand, it shouldn't be a big problem!"
"I heard that that prodigal boy spent three hundred thousand to buy this shabby house."
"So much money has been given. Each of our families will be compensated three to five thousand yuan. The total sum is only ten thousand yuan."
"Let each of your families take out one or two hundred yuan and ask an expert to come and exorcise evil spirits. If you are reluctant to part with this small amount of money, then it is a waste of discussion and we should leave as soon as possible!"
…
Old man Li picked up the dry cigarette beside him and took a few puffs.
In the swirling smoke, he glanced at the people around him angrily, and then spoke slowly and slowly.
"Old man Li, when did we say we were not willing to pay?"
"We just feel that it's a bit unfair for the Taoist Wang you mentioned to pay for his visit, but you didn't pay a cent of it yourself, leaving me and Butcher Zhang to share equally."
"We also know that if this courtyard suddenly becomes evil, we will definitely not be able to do it without inviting an expert to come to the house."
"But in terms of expenses, no one should take advantage of anyone else. We have to share it equally among our families."
Aunt Liu was already extremely fierce, and now she was alone with her hands on her hips. While she was speaking, her fingers were almost pointing at the tip of Old Man Li's nose.
"Yes, what Aunt Liu said touched my heart."
"Since we all jointly spend money to hire someone, the cost must be shared equally among the three parties to be fair."
Amidst the strange laughter, Butcher Zhang on the side followed closely behind and echoed.
"Aunt Liu, Butcher Zhang, if you say this, we will no longer be able to discuss this matter!"
"The Taoist Priest Wang I mentioned is a worldly expert. It would be difficult for ordinary people to recruit him, even if they have money."
"During the turmoil back then, he and I stayed in the same cowshed. Relying on this friendship, I had the confidence to invite him to come to us."
"Isn't the favor from me, Old Man Li, worth anything?"
"I can tell you for sure that Taoist Wang would have to start at least 1,000 yuan or 800 yuan to do rituals for other people."
"It's only two or three hundred dollars, and I just want to get someone to do it. I have to sell my old face to get someone to agree."
"Master's money of three hundred and three hundred and three hundred and three hundred and three hundred and three hundred and three hundred and three hundred and thirty-six yuan you two households should be divided equally. You are taking a huge advantage!"
…
The dry tobacco pole in his hand gently tapped the ground under his feet. Old Man Li looked angry and said in a deep voice.
"Okay, Old Man Li, even if you have to hire Taoist Wang to sell your face, you have to pay some amount for the cost. It's impossible not to pay any of it."
"That's a good thing. I think it's better. You can pay 100 for the 330 that Mr. Wang paid for, and Aunt Liu and I will share the rest equally."
Looking at each other and nodding, Aunt Liu and Zhang Butcher and their families gathered together and whispered for a while.
Their eyes fell on Old Man Li again, and the two families spoke tentatively one by one.
With a look of disdain, Old Man Li curled his lips and said nothing.
"Eighty..." Seeing this situation, the two families were a little helpless, so Aunt Liu spoke again.
"The most I can pay is fifty yuan. If it's more, I won't get a penny."
"In addition to the expert Wang Daozhang I mentioned, if you have other ways to hire an expert in this field, I have absolutely no objection to how much you should pay."
"You want me to come forward to invite people, and you also want me to pay. I am willing to pay fifty yuan. I have already given you a huge favor."
With a straight face and a moment of silence, Old Man Li finally spoke.
If he and his wife hadn't been equally frightened last night, he would never have been willing to take out the fifty yuan he had just promised.
"Okay! Fifty yuan is fifty yuan!" Aunt Liu and Butcher Zhang gathered together and after muttering for a while, they finally nodded and agreed to the matter.
In the past few days, some evil incidents in the courtyard have tortured several families quite badly.
Now that the discussion has been completed, a consensus has been reached.
Old Man Li didn't waste any time. He rode his family's 28-inch bicycle and drove slowly out of the yard.
…
Almost at the same time, in a large villa near Baiyun Mountain in Yangcheng, eastern Guangdong.
"Dad, Mom..." The driver parked the car and Ye Qingqing just got out of the car.
Not far away, she saw Ye Rongzhong and Song Ling who had just walked out of the villa's living room. She quickly waved and said hello to them.
"You little girl, after two years of college, your wings have become strong and you want to fly?"
"You also know that we are your parents? If your eldest brother hadn't personally sent you to the plane, you probably wouldn't have wanted to come back and see the two of us, right?"
With a straight face, Ye Rongzhong started scolding Ye Qingqing before he could even reach him.
"Forget it, Rong Zhong, the child has just come back. If you have anything to say, you can wait until she takes a breath before saying it!"
After complaining dissatisfiedly to her man, Song Ling pulled Ye Qingqing, who had just walked in front of her, to the sofa in the living room and sat down, and began to greet her.
After confirming that her daughter Ye Qingqing's body has completely returned to normal and that the Yin Snake Gu not long ago did not seem to have left any sequelae on her body.
She finally spoke and asked about what happened between her daughter and Chen Hai: "Qingqing, come, tell mom, what is the situation between you and Chen Hai?"
"Mom, I have grown up and am no longer a child!"
"How about that guy Chen Hai? You've all seen him."
"As the old saying goes, men should marry when they are young and women should marry when they are young. Chen Hai saved my life. He is a kind and capable man. I fell in love with him and fell in love with him. Isn't this normal?"
…
Pouting her little lips, Ye Qingqing glanced at her father, Ye Rongzhong, who was sitting on the sofa next to her. She tentatively opened her mouth and explained.
