Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

As the capital city, Beijing has a rapidly growing population, and many people are unable to find suitable housing.

The location in Nanluoguxiang is quite good. Even if the prices are a bit higher, you can still find tenants.

Soon, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui found three households.

Of the three companies, two are from out of town, and the other is from Tongzhou.

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui collected their rent.

The next day, Da Dao arrived with his men.

"I heard you have some money now. Since you're renting this place to pay off your debts, then give me the money."

give?
That is impossible.

Yan Bugui is a miser on the surface, while Yi Zhonghai is a real tightwad on the inside.

The two of them were simply unwilling to take out their money.

Moreover, the two firmly believed that He Yuzhu was behind the big knife.

Giving money to He Yuzhu is aiding the enemy.

Neither of them were willing to hand over the money.

In private discussions, the two even considered refusing to pay and forcing He Yuzhu to negotiate with them.

Perhaps, with their silver tongues, they can persuade He Yuzhu to repent and beg them to take care of him in his old age.

"We did say we would pay you back. But we didn't say we would pay you back immediately."

"You mean you're trying to renege on your debt?" Big Knife couldn't help but laugh.

Neither of them spoke, but the meaning was the same.

Da Dao nodded, ignoring the two men, and turned to look at the three households.

"Listen up. It's not that I'm targeting you. It's that they're refusing to pay their debts."

If you lose your jobs, or if anything happens to you, go find those two old guys.

"How dare you bully us?" The three tenants looked at Da Dao with dissatisfaction.

After they moved to Nanluoguxiang, they did hear some legends about courtyard houses.

But I didn't take it to heart.

They couldn't believe that anyone could have such great abilities.

Another point is the deceptive nature of Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui.

Although Yan Bugui is somewhat calculating and likes to show off his knowledge, he doesn't seem like a bad person.

Needless to say, Yi Zhonghai is another story. He always spouts grand principles, making it impossible to find fault with him.

His face was more deceptive.

All three of them thought that such an old man could do so many bad things.

Having done this job, Da Dao has seen too many people. He can tell at a glance that these three are completely clueless.

"I never bully people. I only subdue people with force. Today, I will show you what the harsh realities of society are like."

Within three days, these three people encountered trouble at work.

No one dared to hire them, and no one dared to cooperate with them.

Even calling the police three times didn't help.

After suffering hardships, the three of them finally came to terms with reality.

So the three of them went to Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui and demanded a refund.

A refund is not possible.

Why should I return money earned through my own abilities?

Yi Zhonghai said righteously, "What you are doing is extremely untrustworthy."

We've already agreed on everything, and the price is settled. How can we go back on our word?

"Uncle, how can you blame us? Because of you, we've all lost our jobs."

"What do you think we should do?"

After the three people moved in, Yi Zhonghai made a special request regarding how they would be addressed.

That means we must follow the old rules of the courtyard house.

The three of them thought it was just a title, nothing serious, so they agreed.

Yi Zhonghai remained the eldest uncle, while Yan Bugui continued to be the third uncle.

The reason Yan Bugui wasn't promoted was that he was looking for an opportunity to trick Liu Haizhong into joining him.

The three old men combined are the strongest fighting force.

Yan Bugui said, "How can this be because of us? We made everything very clear before signing the contract."

Whatever happens, it has nothing to do with us.

"What do you mean by 'explained clearly'? When did you ever tell us anything that offended anyone?" Naturally, they wouldn't listen to Yan Bugui. "We didn't offend anyone, so why would we tell you?" Yan Bugui retorted.

In their hearts, they still believe that they were tricked this time.

Since they were scammed, they are the victims, so how could they possibly offend anyone?

"Third Uncle, aren't you ashamed to say that? If you don't offend people, why would they cause you trouble?"

We've found out everything.

"Because you've done so many despicable things, your children don't want to take care of you anymore."

"Shut up!" Yi Zhonghai roared.

Then he looked at the three of them with a pained expression: "Who told you to talk to your elders like that? This is how your parents raised you."

How our parents raised us is none of your business.

Yi Zhonghai glared fiercely at the man: "Shut up. What do you mean it has nothing to do with me?"

Once you move into this courtyard house, you must listen to me.

There are no bad elders in the world, only inconsiderate juniors.

Old Yan and I are old enough to be your grandfathers. No matter what, you can't talk to us like that.

"Bullshit. Who do you think you are, elder? Do you really think that just because someone calls you 'Grandpa,' you're the boss?"

These days, those who dare to venture out into the world are generally very bold.

These people won't listen to Yi Zhonghai's nonsense.

"Are you trying to rebel?" Yi Zhonghai pointed at several people.

Several people laughed dismissively: "What era is this? Still rebelling?"

Where did you get this old relic?

We just want to ask one question: is the rent refunded or not?

Yan Bugui said, "If you want to get a refund, fine. But you have to compensate us for the breach of contract, as well as for losses and lost wages."

"Old man, you're dreaming. I've never heard of any penalty or loss fee for returning a property."

I'm telling you, if you honestly refund the money, then we'll let it go.

If you don't back out, don't blame us for being impolite.

"I'm not afraid of you."

Both Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui were furious to be insulted like that by a few young men pointing their fingers at them.

Over the years, how many people have dared to speak to them like that?

They just forgot that the three new tenants were not the cowards who used to live in the courtyard.

They simply don't care about their qualifications.

The three of them didn't hold back and proceeded to vandalize the yard.

The tables that Yi Zhonghai had placed in the Intermediate People's Court were all dismantled by them.

Seeing the three people being so unreasonable, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui were furious.

"Call the police."

The police arrived quickly.

Knowing that the call came from courtyard number 95, the police station specially dispatched experienced veteran police officers to handle the situation.

They did not listen to only Yi Zhonghai's and Yi Zhonghai's side of the story, but rather to their respective accounts.

It's very simple.

It was indeed wrong for the three people to vandalize the property; they should compensate Yi Zhonghai for his losses.

However, it is reasonable for the three people to request a refund of the rent.

The police knew that this was done to force the two to move out. They also wanted the two who frequently caused trouble to move out, so when dealing with the case, they were somewhat biased towards the three of them.

“Master Yi, Master Yan, it’s perfectly reasonable for them to ask for a refund of the rent.”

Your so-called contract is illegal in many ways, and we cannot support you.

With the support of the police, the three men felt much more confident.

"The police officer is right. We will compensate you however you deem necessary. But the rent must be refunded."

We lost our jobs because of them.

If they refuse to refund the rent, they should at least compensate us for our losses.

If they really refuse to pay compensation, then we will stay here and will not pay them a single penny of rent.

Let's see who can outlast whom.

Because of the high rent, the three people requested that the rent be paid monthly. (End of Chapter)
