The film and television city starts from the courtyard

Zhao Shucheng said, "Uncle Geng, you should have kept records of the repair costs, right?"

Geng Yunlai looked at Zhao Shucheng in surprise, nodded, and said, "Of course, our three generations have always kept accounts, and every brick and tile is recorded in the book."

Zhao Shucheng then smiled and said, "That's good. After all, in those special times, many things were bought and sold without any invoices or receipts. If there are no records, it will be difficult to calculate the cost of the repairs."

Xiang Wensen said with a smile: "Yes, Uncle Geng, I won't say anything more. Just keep the record. The amount is what it should be. As long as it is reasonable, I will agree to it."

Geng Yunlai was naturally very happy to hear him say this, and said, "Okay, I knew that Master Xiang was a kind person. My dear, go get it!"

He said to Vincent, "Uncle Geng, I'm sure you know that I came back this time to sell my ancestral home. I have an appointment to meet the buyer tomorrow, so I'm sorry, could you and your family move out as soon as possible and not affect my sale of the house?"

"Move out?" Geng Yunlai didn't expect that the lawyer was right. The Xiang family seemed unwilling to admit it.

Fang Sijin also said: "Mr. Xiang, Uncle Geng can't move away."

Geng Yunlai nodded and said, "Yes, I want to go with you to meet the buyer."

"Uncle Geng, what buyer are you meeting? Our employment relationship is over, and your mission is accomplished."

Geng Yunlai said, "Master Xiang, please take a look at this. This is a gift book. Your grandfather Xiang Yurong gave these two rooms downstairs and half of the kitchen to my grandfather Geng Changqing. Later, my grandfather passed it to my father, and my father passed it to me."

Said to Vincent: "Gift Book, is this real or fake?"

However, Zhao Shucheng noticed the change in Xiang Wensheng's expression and realized that Xiang Wensheng actually knew about the gift of the book, but he just didn't intend to admit it.

"Mr. Geng, I only heard that the elders invited you to look at the house, but they didn't say they would give it to you. Sorry, I don't recognize this gift book. Mr. Geng, I can pay you more, even double it, but you can't ask for too much and then turn around and blackmail us to take away our two houses. Isn't that too greedy?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "Mr. Xiang, I think Uncle Geng's request is actually very reasonable. Your family said that you let Uncle Geng and his family look at the house, but in fact they have not paid their salary for more than 70 years, so their family has the right to use the house to deduct their salary."

"I can pay them their wages, even if it's doubled, but using the house to pay off the debt is a bit too much."

Zhao Shucheng said, "That's not too much, Mr. Xiang. In fact, the two rooms and half of the kitchen are already given by Uncle Geng for the sake of the old owner. If you really count it, half of your old house should belong to Uncle Geng's family now."

In fact, it was Geng Yunlai's family alone that saved the Xiang Mansion from being occupied by others. His family paid so much, and this reward was not much at all.

After all, if it weren't for their family, Xiang Mansion would have been occupied by someone else or even demolished, and it would not have been Xiang Vincent's turn to sell the house.

Moreover, if we really want to calculate the wages, Geng Yunlai's father and grandfather helped to look after the house and clean the house in the early years. Geng Yunlai's father had his waist broken because of this. The wages and work injury allowances that should have been paid, according to the prices of that year, might have been enough to directly buy the Xiang Mansion.

Said to Vincent: "Anyway, we didn't know about the existence of this gift book, so I won't admit it based on this piece of torn paper. If you don't move away, I will have no choice but to sue you."

Geng Yunlai was also a little angry and said, "Go ahead and hit me. Am I afraid of you?"

He didn't expect that three generations of his family, who had paid so much to protect this house, were so ungrateful to his family and only wanted to get rid of him with a little money, and even refused to acknowledge the gift deed they had signed.

Xiang Wensen and Geng Yunlai parted on bad terms. After returning to the store, Zhu Shanshan asked worriedly, "Aunt, what should we do? We can't really let them sue, can we?"

Zhao Shucheng said: "In fact, filing a lawsuit is the best solution, which will clarify the ownership of Xiang Mansion and facilitate the sale of the house in the future. The most worrying thing is that someone will play tricks on us, and then the transaction will be troublesome."

"What should we do now? If the Xiang family does not acknowledge the gift letter, we must find out whether the gift letter is authentic."

Wang Zijian said: "Since it is a gift book, there must be at least two copies, one for each family. In other words, if we can find the Xiang family's copy, we can prove that the Geng family's copy is the real one."

Xie Tingfeng said: "But if the Xiang family deliberately concealed the other gift book, then there is no way to prove its authenticity."

Zhao Shucheng felt that Xie Tingfeng had revealed the truth, and the Xiang family naturally knew about the existence of the gift book, or Xiang Wensen should have seen another gift book before he came. After all, when Xiang Wensen saw the gift book, the surprise and familiarity in his eyes could not be faked.

"The best way for now is to find another gift certificate to prove that Geng Yunlai's gift certificate is authentic and valid. I have asked someone to find the guarantor's information, and there should be news soon. If we can find the gift certificate in the hands of the guarantor, then Geng Yunlai and his family can keep their house. If we can't find it, we can only take it one step at a time."

"Isn't that like looking for a needle in a haystack?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "How could that be? If Xiang Yurong is looking for a guarantor, he won't look for an ordinary person, so it's easy to find one. Zhu Shanshan, you and Manager Fang, help Uncle Geng and Xiang Wensen sign the contract with the seller first and go through the procedures. Geng Yunlai should also go over there and get the notarization of the gift as soon as possible, and then try to get the property certificate as soon as possible."

"okay, I get it!"

The reason why Zhao Shucheng asked Fang Sijin and the others to bring Geng Yun along was to avoid the buyer and seller meeting directly. Because if the two parties met directly, they could skip the intermediary and trade directly, thus causing a jump in the order.

But if Geng Yunlai follows, such a situation will not occur. After all, neither Lin Maogen nor Xiang Wensheng wants others to share a piece of the pie, so they must avoid Geng Yunlai.

However, if Lin Maogen knew that Geng Yunlai was also going to participate in the transaction, he would have some reservations even if he wanted to jump the order, not to mention that he was also afraid that Geng Yunlai would interfere after the transaction with Xiang Wensheng.

After all, Xiang Wensheng will just take the money and leave, but I will still have to live in the Xiang Mansion. I can't afford to argue with Geng Yunlai's family, right?

Zhao Shucheng stopped Zhu Shanshan who was about to go out, and repeatedly warned her to bring Geng Yun with her and never let Xiang Wensheng and Lin Maogen meet alone.

Lin Maogen was actually a little worried about problems when he knew that Geng Yunlai's family still owned the property rights of the house. But when Zhu Shanshan really took Geng Yunlai's family to participate in the transaction, he knew that his worries had come true.

Especially when he heard that Xiang Wensen did not acknowledge the gift book and was ready to sign the contract alone, but saw Zhu Shanshan and Fang Sijin both insisted that Geng Yunlai also participate in the transaction, he suddenly felt that the trouble was overwhelming. "Mr. Xiang, everything is about fate. I think Manager Fang has already told you what I am thinking. There is nothing else to do, just go through the procedures as soon as possible and transfer the ownership as soon as possible."

Said to Vincent: "Of course I want to get it done as soon as possible, but this person hasn't been cleared away yet!"

Geng Yunlai said, "Why should we move out now? We have the gift book, which contains our two rooms, so we should naturally participate in the transaction."

"You want to take my house away with a piece of torn paper? You are just dreaming. If it doesn't work out, we can sue and see who wins."

Geng Yunlai said fearlessly: "Let them fight. Anyway, we have lived in Xiang Mansion for seventy years, so we don't mind living here for a few more years."

Fang Sijin said: "Mr. Xiang, Uncle Geng, I don't think so. We can negotiate. Uncle Geng is a reasonable man and won't ask for an exorbitant price."

He said to Wensen: "Three hundred thousand per square meter, anyone would be tempted, right?"

Lin Maogen said, "Mr. Geng, you see, I am really anxious about this transaction. Speaking of the gift of the book, each of us has our own reasons, and there is no way to get any result from the argument. How about this, I will solve this problem properly?"

Geng Yunlai looked at Lin Maogen and said, "Boss Lin, how do you want to solve this?"

Lin Maogen looked at Xiang Wensen and said, "Well, I really like Xiang Mansion, so I hope to complete the transfer procedures as soon as possible and live in it."

"And as far as I know, you only have the title deed to the Xiang Mansion now, which needs to be replaced with a real estate certificate, and this requires paying the land price, which is not a small amount of money. Even if it is just two rooms and half a kitchen in your house, it is still a lot of money. I don't think your family can afford it."

Geng Yunlai said: "Even if we can't get it, we can't give up our house. I'm not doing this for anything else, just to save my life. This house was given to my grandfather by his grandfather. Our family paid a great price to protect the house. We can't let it be slandered like this."

Lin Maogen nodded and said, "I understand. The problem now is that Mr. Xiang's visa to our country is time-limited. If it expires and he goes back, then if you want to sell the house, you will have to wait a little longer. If you don't sell it, you won't get a penny."

"Besides, this house is nearly a hundred years old. How many more years can it last? If it needs major repairs, you won't be able to afford the rising renovation costs. If it collapses, not only will Mr. Xiang come after you, but the government may also come after you."

Fang Sijin also echoed, "Uncle Geng, I think Mr. Lin is right. The land price is tens of millions, you definitely can't afford it, so you still need to advance it to Mr.. Besides, the gift book is not strong enough. If you really want to sue, you need more evidence."

Geng Yunlai said, "What can Boss Lin do?"

Lin Maogen said, "Old Geng, how old are we? How long can we last? You move out first, and when I finish renovating Xiang Mansion, I will invite you to move back, okay?"

Geng Yunlai said: "To be honest, we don't want to live in Xiang Mansion. We are old and our children have started their own families. We should live together and take care of each other."

"Where is the child?"

Geng Yunlai said: "Jiuting!"

Lin Maogen smiled and said, "Isn't this simple? I happen to have a house in Jiuting, with four bedrooms and two living rooms, 180 square meters. So, I will exchange that house with you for these two houses, how about it?"

Geng Yunlai said, "No, no, we can't take advantage of you. This is too valuable."

"Hey, don't say that. If I were to trade it with someone else, I would definitely not agree. But it's different for you. Why? Because of righteousness! Three generations of your Geng family have protected the old house for a promise. This spirit is worthy of admiration."

As he spoke, Lin Maogen became emotional and said, "The reason why my business is so big is because we value benevolence and righteousness, so, Lao Geng, I'm willing to let you take advantage of this."

Geng Yunlai was also a little moved when he heard Lin Maogen say this, but thinking of his wife who was still at home, he could only say: "Mr. Lin, I will go back and discuss it with my family. If there is no problem, I will change it."

Xiang Wensheng didn't expect that Lin Maogen's solution was to give Geng Yunlai the house as a gift. This made him very unhappy. He always felt that this house was actually deducting money from him. Suddenly, he felt that his eyes were not eyes, and his nose was not a nose.

However, Lin Maogen signaled Xiang Wensen not to be so excited. He even took the initiative to talk to Xiang Wensen when Fang Sijin and Zhu Shanshan were about to leave, as if he was preparing to talk about some past events in Xiang Mansion.

Fang Sijin felt that the problem was solved, so when Zhu Shanshan was about to stay, she simply took Zhu Shanshan away.

After Zhu Shanshan came back, he told Zhao Shucheng about Lin Maogen's method and said:

"Aunt, I think this is a good idea. Uncle Geng and his family have received compensation, and Xiang Mansion can be traded as soon as possible. Everyone is happy."

Zhao Shucheng looked at Fang Sijin and asked, "Manager Fang, do you also think this is a good thing?"

"Of course it's a good thing. If we do this, Xiang Mansion can complete the transaction as soon as possible, and Uncle Geng's family will not suffer any loss. How can it not be a good thing?"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "Has Lin Maogen taken you to see the house? And is he ready to sign a donation agreement with Geng Yunlai, or agree on a deadline for moving?"

"That hasn't happened yet, but the solution is there, and all we have to do now is follow the procedures."

Zhao Shucheng sighed and said, "You guys are so naive. Lin Maogen said it was a house exchange, but it was actually a gift. But he asked Geng Yunlai and his family to move out without signing a gift contract. What if they don't admit it?"

Zhao Shucheng knew that Lin Maogen asked Geng Yunlai and his family to move out, saying that they were changing houses, but in fact, he was just trying to trick them out. When the transaction was completed, he would buy the house and become the new owner of Xiang Mansion, and he would not care about the life and death of Geng Yunlai and his family.

At that time, Lin Maogen will even ask Geng Yunlai for the rent, and if he doesn't pay, he will kick him out. It's really too ugly. (End of this chapter)
