The Valiant Farmgirl's Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug

190 Chapter 190: I’ll Protect Them

“My two younger brothers have taken a fancy to the Huang family’s courtyard house.”

“If your family also wants to buy it, then we’ll have a fair competition. I won’t interfere.”

“But if you bully my Grandma Huang’s family with the intention of getting something for nothing…”

“I advise you to take stock of your own abilities.” As she spoke, Qin Xiaoyao blew on her fist.

With this series of threatening words, the Zhao family was frightened into submission. They were furious but didn’t dare to act rashly.

The middle-aged man’s heart skipped a beat. He calmed himself down before he cupped his hands and bowed to Qin Xiaoyao again.

“May I ask what is the relationship between Madam and Grandma Huang’s family?”

The members of the Huang family immediately looked at Qin Xiaoyao nervously.

They all hoped that Qin Xiaoyao would say she had a close relationship with their family.

This way, their family would be able to avoid being pestered by the Zhao family in the future.

How could Qin Xiaoyao not understand the crux of the matter?

“Neighbors. In addition, my mother is on good terms with Grandma Huang, so the relationship between our two families is naturally more than just normal ties.”

Qin Xiaoyao looked at the middle-aged man with disdain.

“I’m protecting the Huang family as far as this matter is concerned.”

“In the future, if your family still wants to survive in this area near the market on West Street, you better know what’s good for you and obediently move out of my Grandma Huang’s courtyard house,” Qin Xiaoyao said tyrannically.

The moment these words came out, the Zhao family was filled with fear and trepidation.

“You…” The middle-aged man wanted to ask Qin Xiaoyao about her background, but he was too scared to finish his sentence.

Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes were filled with contempt as she took the initiative to announce her family name.

“Butcher Qin of the market on West Street is my father! I, Qin Sanya, have been active in the market on West Street since I was a child. I have my ways to make sure your family can’t stay on in the area near the market on West Street.”

The faces of the Zhao family members changed.

Who didn’t know butcher Qin, who made a living in the market on West Street?

It was rumored that butcher Qin had been in the mafia before he became a butcher.

Furthermore, he had two sons. One was called Qin Dahu, and the other was called Qin Erhu.

Both were tall and strong, and also very fierce.

He didn’t expect that the Qin family didn’t only have the father and son trio who were so fierce. Even his youngest daughter was also so tyrannical.

Thus, after confirming that he could not afford to offend the Qin family, the middle-aged man quickly made a decision.

“Misunderstanding. Hehe! Everything before this was just a misunderstanding.”

“We genuinely want to buy the courtyard house from the Huang family. It’s just that we haven’t reached an agreement on the price,” the middle-aged man explained.

“Oh?” One corner of Qin Xiaoyao’s mouth curled upwards.

“Since your family genuinely wants to buy this courtyard house from the Huang family, just like my two younger brothers here, then let’s discuss this together.”

The middle-aged man’s face froze.

He wanted to refuse, but he couldn’t find a good excuse.

“Oh, sure!” He could only agree eventually.

Only then did Qin Xiaoyao turn to look at Huang Dalang.

“Brother Huang, let’s find a place,” she said.

Huang Dalang quickly came back to his senses.

“Yes, yes, yes! Mrs. Song and two brothers of the Liu family, this way! This way, please!” he hurriedly said. He couldn’t hide the smile on his face.

Immediately after that, he quickly asked his mother and wife to prepare refreshments.

Qin Xiaoyao smiled and led the Liu brothers to the hall together with Huang Dalang and Grandma Huang.

As for the Zhao family, no one could be bothered with them at all.

The dejected Zhao family’s wife and two youngsters really wanted to leave right now.

Now that they already knew Qin Xiaoyao’s identity and were certain that they couldn’t afford to offend her, they could only swallow this loss in silence.

As for buying a courtyard house, how could their family afford it if the courtyard house was sold at the normal price?

The middle-aged man had no intention of leaving, however.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to leave, but that he couldn’t.

“You guys wait here.” The middle-aged man said with a frown to his wife and two sons. He then followed the rest to the hall.

Since things had already progressed to this stage, he had to smooth things over.

In addition, he might also try to fight for that courtyard house.

Otherwise, the entire family would have to move. Where would they move to?

When the middle-aged man entered the hall, Qin Xiaoyao and the others had already taken their seats.

When Huang Dalang saw the middle-aged man come in, his expression stiffened momentarily.

In the end, he still said, “Have a seat.”

“Sure,” The middle-aged man answered awkwardly and found a seat before sitting down.

Before long, Huang Dalang’s wife and mother brought tea over.

...

They poured everyone a cup of tea.

Qin Xiaoyao only spoke after taking a sip of tea.

“Let’s not waste any more time. We’ll discuss it right away.”

With that, Qin Xiaoyao looked at Liu Daniu and then at Huang Dalang.

Liu Daniu’s expression froze, and he did not say a word.

Huang Dalang, on the other hand, smiled and continued the conversation.

“Sure!”

“However, Brother Daniu didn’t even go into the house for a look yesterday. You may not know the overall condition of the courtyard house well enough.”

“Why don’t I bring you there to take a look again?”

Yesterday, he was stopped by someone. However, in this situation now, he didn’t believe that the Zhao family would dare to stop him.

Sure enough, the middle-aged man didn’t say anything when he heard this.

...

To his surprise, Liu Daniu said, “No need. I’ve seen the general condition.”

They had already wasted Sister Sanya’s time by troubling her to come over with them to discuss this matter. He couldn’t make Sister Sanya follow him to the illegal construction area to look at the courtyard house again.

Since the Zhao family was also present, it was better to settle the matter of the courtyard house now. What happened afterward would be much simpler to handle.

Huang Dalang glanced at Qin Xiaoyao and nodded with a smile.

“Alright.”

A moment later, Huang Dalang looked at Liu Daniu again.

“I wonder how much Brother Daniu is willing to pay to buy my house?” he asked.

Liu Daniu was taken aback instantly.

He looked at Qin Xiaoyao and didn’t know what to say.

He was the buyer, so naturally, he wanted the price to be as low as possible.

However, just now Sister Sanya told the Zhao family that Aunt Song was on good terms with this family’s Grandma Huang, so he couldn’t haggle openly.

Qin Xiaoyao smiled. “Why don’t you tell us how much you’re going to sell to us, Brother Huang?” She deliberately used the word ‘us’.

Huang Dalang got the hint. He looked at the Liu brothers.

He smiled and said, “I was originally going to sell it for 90 taels. But since you are Mrs. Song’s younger brother, then… let’s make it 80 taels of silver.”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

The Liu brothers were pleasantly surprised. They did not expect Huang Dalang to reduce the price by 10 taels of silver.

Grandma Huang frowned slightly, however.

Nonetheless, she simply glanced at her eldest grandson and did not say anything.

After all, she had finally understood at this juncture.

If they didn’t sell the courtyard house to the Liu family, they would be pestered by the Zhao family again.

And the Zhao family would definitely not be able to cough up 80 taels of silver.

Rather than that, it would be better to follow her eldest grandson’s idea and sell the courtyard house to the Liu family at a lower price. It could be considered doing the Song family a favor.

Earlier, the Song family’s eldest daughter-in-law had already said that she would protect the Huang family.

With this relationship, the Huang family would be able to lead a better life in Yong An Lane in the future.

That was right. Even though her family was fairly well-off, her husband and only son had passed away one after another.

Her eldest grandson was the only one supporting the family now. With an orphan and a widowed mother, their family did not lead an easy life.

The middle-aged man beside him frowned.

80 taels for that courtyard house was a very good deal. However, it was far beyond his budget.

Qin Xiaoyao nodded and looked at the Liu brothers.

“What do you all think?” she asked.

The Liu brothers exchanged a glance with each other.
