Huangquan Express: Dear, please remember to give us a five-star rating

Chapter 500: Malicious Price Increase
In Shangyuan Village, Yang Fan and Xiao Lin drove a tricycle and stopped at the door of Grandpa Yang's house. Xiao Lin got off the tricycle, went to the back truck and took a express package wrapped in a paper box and walked into Grandpa Yang's house.

"Grandpa Yang, your express delivery has arrived..."

Before Xiao Lin reached the door, she heard a quarrel inside.

There were three young men and a middle-aged woman arguing.

"The room we booked online is clearly 80 yuan a night for a single room and 98 yuan a night for a double room. Why do you charge us 1000 yuan a night each?" The girl among the three is called Wan Shiyu. She questioned the middle-aged woman at the cashier with her mobile phone.

The middle-aged woman, Zhang Caixia, Yang Long's mother, was not very tall. She crossed her arms and said arrogantly, "What you booked online doesn't count. This is the price for today's room, 1000 yuan per night. You can choose whether to stay or not."

"You are cheating!" The tallest boy among the three was Wan Shiyu's boyfriend Gao Peng. He recorded the video with his mobile phone and said angrily, "We just booked the room yesterday!"

It is very difficult to get a room in the Shangyuan Village B&B. They waited for a long time before they got two rooms. They got them yesterday and arrived today.

The price increased so much in just one day, and it's not just the price of one room that increased, but it became a one-way charge, with one person having to pay one thousand per night. This is a blatant scam.

When Xiao Lin heard this, she turned around and went to look for Yang Fan, who had already gotten off the tricycle and was walking towards them.

"Boss, there are tourists inside who are being bullied by Grandpa Yang's vicious daughter-in-law," Xiao Lin ran up to her and followed her inside, "She is blackmailing others."

Because of the fame of Shangyuan Village, homestays are in short supply and the prices will naturally rise.

However, for the long-term development of the village, Li Wenlin set a unified standard. The price of a single room is 66 yuan, and the price of a double room is 88 yuan. If meals are provided, the price will be determined based on the ingredients provided by each family, but the average cost of a meal cannot exceed 50 yuan per person.

If tourists book a room online, the price will be several to ten yuan more expensive than booking a room in the village due to the platform fee, which is also stated below each homestay.

Many tourists expressed their understanding. After all, it is more cost-effective to book directly online than to spend time waiting in the village for an empty room.

Li Wenlin has issued a strict order that malicious overcharging of customers is not allowed. If it occurs, the business license will be suspended and a fine will be imposed.

The village has developed with great difficulty. We cannot damage the collective interests and ruin the reputation of the village just for a little benefit.

Every homestay strictly follows the standards he sets.

Zhang Caixia didn't do anything wrong in the first few days after she came back. She just argued with Grandpa Yang and the others about the division of rooms and land every day. But as time went on, she saw that many tourists came to the B&B every day and asked if there were any vacant rooms.

In addition, many people would rather set up tents and sleep on the side of the road than stay in the village.

She had an evil idea. Since so many people wanted to live there, then whoever offered the highest price would win.

Which tourist attraction doesn’t raise its prices when there are many people? There are so many tourists in the village, it’s so popular, the housing prices should go up!

She had already mentioned the price increase of the B&B to Grandpa Yang and other family members. Under her instigation, everyone else also thought about raising the price of the room.

But Grandpa Yang disagreed. The house was still under his name, so if he disagreed, others could say nothing. They could only blame him behind his back for being old-fashioned and inflexible.

Today, while Grandpa Yang is not at home, Zhang Caixia has to raise the house price no matter what.

As for what Li Wenlin said about fining or stopping them from doing business, Zhang Caixia was not at all panicked.

There is such a shortage of homestays in the village right now, how could they be asked to close down? That's just scaremongering.

"1000 per night, that's the price. If you want to stay, just pay. We don't need anyone to stay here anyway."

Zhang Caixia said confidently, "There are many guests waiting for rooms."

"You are committing fraud. I am going to file a complaint against you!" Wan Shiyu was so angry that her face turned red.

"We came all the way here, what you did is too much, if you can't afford it, don't list the room online!"

Wan Shiyu's brother Wan Xiangdong said: "We recorded all of this. Believe it or not, I will post this video online to expose you!" "Go ahead and file a complaint! We can charge whatever price we want for our own house. Even the king of heaven can't stop us!"

Zhang Caixia spoke louder than her and looked them up and down with contempt.

"A young girl is shameless. She came to such a far place to play with two men. If I were your parents, I would definitely...ah!"

Before Zhang Caixia could finish her words, she suddenly felt like she was slapped in the face by someone or something. Her face tilted to the side and she covered her face in pain.

Her inexplicable action confused the three people.

Is this person sick?

The tall boy still held the phone firmly in his hand, "We didn't do anything to you, please don't try to scam me."

The other two people also hurriedly took out their mobile phones and started recording, recording it, so as not to blackmail them later.

"Ah! Who hit me!" Zhang Caixia said angrily.

"Your house is really luxurious. It costs one thousand dollars per night for one person."

A careless voice came from the door, and everyone in the room looked towards it.

I saw a girl wearing a white hooded sweatshirt and a black baseball jacket leaning against the door with a playful smile on her face, her eyes indifferent, and a full sense of oppression.

There was also a girl in a pink jacket standing next to him, holding a delivery box in her hands.

When she met Yang Fan's gaze, Zhang Caixia suddenly felt as if she was being stared at by a ferocious beast and her limbs went numb.

"Yang... Yang Fan, why... are you here?"

Zhang Caixia pulled up an unnatural smile and spoke haltingly.

Yang Fan? This name sounds familiar. Where have you heard it before?
Wan Shiyu and the other two looked at each other, then shifted their gaze to Yang Fan.

Wan Shiyu kept pondering this name in her mind. The name Yang Fan looked so familiar. Where had she heard it before?

Yang Fan took the express box from Xiao Lin's hand with one hand, took a few steps forward and placed the box on the cashier counter, leaning on the bar with one hand.

"I came to deliver a package to Grandpa Yang, and happened to hear Auntie's wonderful speech."

Yang Fan smiled and said, "One thousand yuan per person per night, my aunt's house is so expensive."

"I've already booked a room online, why did the price suddenly increase?!"

With Yang Fan around, Xiao Lin was confident. She said, "Aunt, you will be fined and have your business closed if you do this."

She could act rude and throw a tantrum in front of other people, and even scold them, but she didn't dare to do that in front of Yang Fan.

She was afraid just to meet Yang Fan's gaze and didn't dare to look him in the eye.

"Yang Fan, you know that houses in the village are in short supply."

Zhang Caixia explained dryly, "Several CEOs in the city called me and asked me to reserve a room for them, but the room has been booked."

"They only pay one thousand yuan a night!" The more she spoke, the more confident she became.

Although what she said was completely false, it is a fact that it is difficult to find a house in the village.
