191 Chapter 191: Buying The Courtyard House
“Good! We accept!” Liu Daniu exclaimed in pleasant surprise.
The corners of Qin Xiaoyao’s lips curled up. Then, she looked at the middle-aged man.
“How about you?” she asked.
“I…” The middle-aged man opened his mouth a few times with a very pained look.
If he could afford 80 silver taels, he would definitely fight for it, even if it meant offending the people sitting opposite him.
After all, he had an agreement with the Huang family when he first signed the lease.
If the Huang family were to sell their courtyard house, he would have priority to buy it under the same conditions.
However, the problem was that he really didn’t have 80 taels of silver.
Moreover, even if he borrowed money from his relatives, he wouldn’t be able to gather so much silver in a short time.
Qin Xiaoyao understood and smiled.
“Since you can’t afford it, then this courtyard house will go to my two younger brothers,” she said.
The middle-aged man glanced at Qin Xiaoyao. Then he looked away and lowered his head.
It could be considered that he admitted defeat.
When everyone saw this, their faces were filled with joy.
This was particularly true for the Huang family. All the members looked relieved.
Qin Xiaoyao smiled and looked at Huang Dalang.
“Since both sides have reached an agreement, let’s settle the contract today.”
“We’ll pay 10 taels of silver as a deposit first. After we take over the courtyard house, we’ll pay the remaining 70 taels.”
Huang Dalang’s expression froze.
“Don’t worry. If anyone is unwilling to move out, I will bring my two brothers from my maiden family to help,” Qin Xiaoyao added.
As she spoke, she looked at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man’s body stiffened, and he didn’t dare to raise his head.
Only then did Huang Dalang’s face reveal a hint of a smile again.
“Deal! Let’s sign the contract!” he said happily.
Immediately after this, he quickly asked his wife to get the brush and ink.
Everything that followed was much smoother.
The two sides signed the contract, and the brothers from the Liu family paid the Huang family 10 taels of silver.
The middle-aged man who was sitting not far away witnessed everything.
After telling Liu Daniu to keep the contract, Qin Xiaoyao turned to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man met her gaze and quickly avoided her eyes.
Seeing this, Qin Xiaoyao felt even more disdainful.
“At noon the day after tomorrow, I will bring my two younger brothers to take back the house. You guys can pack up after you go back,” she said.
The middle-aged man did not answer.
“Did you hear that?” Qin Xiaoyao quickly added. Her voice was a lot louder, and it was tinged with displeasure.
“Ye… yes, I heard you.” The middle-aged man’s body trembled, and he quickly answered.
Only then did Qin Xiaoyao nod her head in satisfaction.
She turned around and looked at the Liu brothers.
“Let’s go. It’s time to go back for lunch,” she said.
The two brothers were overjoyed and quickly agreed.
Huang Dalang stood up immediately.
“We’ll send Mrs. Song off!” he said enthusiastically.
Thus, he brought his wife with him and sent Qin Xiaoyao and the others off.
When they reached the courtyard, Qin Xiaoyao saw the Zhao family’s trio of mother and children.
At this moment, the three of them were no longer as arrogant as when Qin Xiaoyao had just entered the courtyard. Each of them appeared dejected and depressed.
Qin Xiaoyao looked at the youngster who had been taught a lesson by her. He was cradling his arm, dragging his leg, and was still wiping away his tears.
A wisp of hesitation flashed across Qin Xiaoyao’s heart, and she eventually stopped in her tracks.
“Come here.” She directed her words at the youngster.
That youngster immediately became panic-stricken.
At the same time, the Zhao family’s mother and the other youngster looked at Qin Xiaoyao in fear.
Qin Xiaoyao frowned, and her face was filled with impatience.
Just as her patience was about to run out, the youngster opposite her responded.
“Yes…”
He answered fearfully and limped and hobbled toward Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao looked at the youngster walking slowly toward her and felt that he was taking too long.
She took the initiative to go up to him.
Then, under everyone’s shocked gazes, she quickly grabbed the youngster’s wrist that she had broken.
Then, a crisp cracking sound was heard, and the youngster screamed.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t stop there. She quickly grabbed one of the youngster’s legs.
She didn’t care that the other party was thrown to the ground by her act, and she acted on his leg as well.
There was another cracking sound as she helped the youngster set his leg bones.
When the middle-aged man came out and saw this scene, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
However, it was only a moment later when he saw his eldest son heave a sigh of relief, and he guessed what had happened.
Upon seeing this, the Zhao family’s mother was already charging at Qin Xiaoyao.
Just as she was about to fight Qin Xiaoyao to the death, her husband called out to her.
The middle-aged man quickly stepped forward.
He stood in front of his wife and son and cupped his hands at Qin Xiaoyao.
“Honorable Madam Qin, thank you for not holding a grudge against us and setting my son’s bones to help him recover. We’ll go back and pack our belongings now. We’ll hand over the house the day after tomorrow.”
Previously, he had thought that the other party was unreasonable and fierce, but now it seemed that as long as he did not anger her, she was still reasonable.
Moreover, not only was she highly skilled in martial arts, but she also knew how to set bones.
Such a person was not someone their family could afford to offend.
Since the matter of moving could not be changed, the Zhao family would cooperate.
As long as they didn’t cause any trouble, the other party probably wouldn’t cause them any trouble in the future.
When everyone heard this and saw the expression on the youngster’s face, they instantly understood what Qin Xiaoyao had done.
While they were amazed by Qin Xiaoyao’s methods, they also felt that it was a pity that Qin Xiaoyao had helped the youngster from the Zhao family heal his fracture.
This was particularly so for the Huang family, who had suffered a lot from the Zhao family’s actions. Today, they even came to the Huang family’s house to bully the Huang family.
However, Qin Xiaoyao was the one who helped them settle the mess at home. Now that Qin Xiaoyao was doing this, they naturally couldn’t interfere.
Furthermore, they could understand why Qin Xiaoyao did this.
After all, they were the ones who were at loggerheads with the Zhao family. Qin Xiaoyao didn’t actually have any grudges against them.
Qin Xiaoyao nodded in satisfaction and left with the Liu brothers.
She walked out of the Huang family’s courtyard and into the alley.
The Liu brothers’ faces were filled with joy, and they were full of admiration for Qin Xiaoyao.
“Sister Sanya, you’re really amazing!” Liu Erniu could not hold back any longer and quickly went up to flatter her.
Qin Xiaoyao chuckled at his little act.
“It’s nothing much!” The woman replied.
“You’re too humble. How can this be considered ‘nothing much’? It’s simply mighty and overpowering!”
“Sister Sanya, do you practice martial arts?” Liu Erniu asked again. He had practically turned into Qin Xiaoyao’s little fan.
“Hehe! It’s not really martial arts. But it’s sufficient to deal with a dozen gangsters or so,” the woman said, pretending to be humble.
This made the two brothers admire her even more.
Their Sister Sanya could fight ten people at once? And her opponents were gangsters too! She was such a powerful expert!
It looked like they would have to learn from their wife and sister-in-law in the future and stick closely to Sister Sanya.
Just like that, Qin Xiaoyao returned to the Song family’s residence, basking in a sea of flattery from the two brothers.
In the Song family’s courtyard, Big Girl Li was there. Liu Xiaomei was sent to the kitchen by Big Girl Li to help with the cooking.
When she saw Qin Xiaoyao and the others had returned, Big Girl Li quickly went up to them.
Then, without waiting for Big Girl Li to ask, the Liu brothers told her about their Sister Sanya’s heroic deeds.
Big Girl Li was already aware that her Sister Sanya knew martial arts, so she didn’t think that her husband and her brother were exaggerating.
