Chapter 409 Coming to Apologize
Time flies, and it's another weekend.

There are only 6 days left until Zhang Fen and Yu Xuewei's wedding.

Both families have prepared everything they need, including sending out invitations, deciding on the guest list, taking photos, and preparing the food.
Basically, everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared, except for one thing, which is not ready yet.

That is their wedding room.

The two families looked at more than ten houses, but they still had a special liking for Old Huang's back house and were reluctant to give up such a good house.

But it’s not a problem to keep putting off buying a house.

To this end, the two companies have made three preparations, two of which are apologies: either I apologize to you, or you apologize to me.

Now it depends on who apologizes to the other party first. Whoever apologizes first must be prepared to be controlled by the other party.

One is to buy an alternative backyard house.

Now it depends on who can’t hold it back first.

Early in the morning.

Li Kailang sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, lying leisurely in the rocking chair, covered with clothes and basking in the sun. He felt so comfortable, waiting for someone to come and apologize.

Sure enough, a man came to the gate of the courtyard.

It was Old Huangtou. At this moment, he was extremely conflicted about whether he should go into the yard and apologize to Li Kailang.

Just one step can make a world of difference.

"It's just a matter of face. For the sake of money and children, it's better to give up this face." Old Huang made up his mind and walked straight into the yard.

"Hey, you really came in. You can't hold it anymore. I thought you could hold it for a long time." Li Kailang closed his eyes and heard the old yellow man's murmur, and couldn't help but smile.

Old Huang really didn't want to apologize in person, but he had to due to the current situation. What Li Kailang did was really unkind.

As the wedding time approached, Li Kailang would take the two families to visit other landlords every few days.

The two sides were talking and laughing in a peaceful atmosphere. The two families showed full intention, which made the other party very happy but also made Old Huang anxious.

What made him even more anxious was that his house was gradually no longer in demand.

Little did he know that Li Kailang did all this on purpose in order to show him how angry and anxious he was.

But I didn't expect that Li Kailang's behavior would really come true.

Old Huang was really afraid that Li Kailang and the others would buy someone else's house, and then he would be left with no tears to cry.

A few days ago, a few people came to ask about the price. Although we didn't reach an agreement in the end, at least there were people. Now there is no one.

The buyer bargained: "Your house is too expensive, can you make it cheaper?"

"This is already very cheap. I don't make any money. I've told you the plan of the house. If you decorate it according to this, this will be a good house for a family of six, including three generations of grandfather and grandchildren to live in together."

"Just think about it, you three generations will live together in the future, others will be envious, just look at which family has three generations of grandfather and grandson living together."

Old Huang's words tempted the buyer, but the house cost 600 yuan, plus about 300 yuan for decoration, the whole house cost 1 yuan, which he could not afford.

The buyer shook his head and said, "You're right, but I don't have that much money. I'm really sorry. I just want a house that I can move into and live in."

"Can you make it cheaper? If it's suitable, I'll go borrow some money to buy it."

Seeing that this trick didn't work, Old Huang became very anxious and finally made up his mind.

Since I can't sell both rooms together, I can just sell them one by one.

"Well, you want a back house, don't you? I'll sell it to you. How much can you pay?"

"180, do you think this price is okay?"

Old Huang said angrily, "180! Are you kidding me? My house and I will sell it for 600 yuan, at least 300 yuan. How can you offer that price?"

The buyer said, "Comrade, you can't say that about the price. Your 600 yuan includes the yard, but the house I bought doesn't include the yard. There are other people involved."

"Two families can share a yard. How can I buy a back house for 300 yuan? Even the best back house is not worth this price."

"You only have a back-to-back room, and it's only 180. If it doesn't work out, I'll take a loss and add 20 yuan. Is that okay?"

"Are you sending beggars away? Get out of here!" Old Huang cursed angrily.

"Hey, you don't know what's good for you." The buyer left cursing.

"200 yuan? If I really bargain with you like that, where will I put my face? Two rooms only cost 2 yuan. I might as well sell it to Li Kailang instead of you. I can make an extra 400 yuan."

Old Huang was so angry at the buyer that he almost wanted to fight. How could such an insult be so insulting?

"No, we have to sell the house quickly. My son is urging us to do it." Old Huang was extremely anxious.

No one cared about his house and no one wanted to buy it, but Li Kailang still brought people around to shop around. The back and forth of gifts and discounts made Old Huang extremely anxious.

"Wait a few more days. If no one wants to sell it to me, I will have no choice but to sell it to Li Kailang."

Old Huang had no choice but to resort to this last resort.

Taking advantage of the fact that today is the weekend and everyone is free, Old Huang has no choice but to go to the door. This is his last chance.

If you don't seize the opportunity, the house may just remain there.

Next year, when people fleeing famine come, since Old Huang doesn't live here and his house is empty, the street office will take it to provide temporary relief to the people fleeing famine.

The rent is only a few dollars a month, and he can't get it back, so it's basically the same as someone buying a house for a few dollars a month.

If Old Huang knew about this, he would be devastated.

When Old Huang stepped through the hanging flower gate, he saw Li Kailang basking in the sun leisurely.

Seeing this, he could no longer understand that Li Kailang was waiting for him, knowing that he could not hold it back any longer.

"Good boy, you actually planned it to this extent." Old Huang gritted his teeth in hatred.

I wanted to turn around and leave, but since I was already here, if I left for the sake of face, this house would remain vacant.

"I never thought that I would stumble when I'm old. It's a shame. I'll just lose face if I lose it."

Old Huang encouraged himself in his heart and moved closer to Li Kailang.

But Li Kailang seemed not to hear anything. He was still leisurely and relaxed, basking in the sun with his eyes closed, as if he really didn't hear the old yellow's footsteps.

"Good boy." Old Huang couldn't help but say in his heart, pretending not to hear such obvious footsteps.

Old Huang knew that what he did that day was indeed unkind, and he deserved to be treated like that.

Li Kailang also shattered the last bit of his self-esteem.

Old Huang rubbed his hands, looked flattering, and whispered, "Master Li, Master Li."

Li Kailang had never heard of this before. He did not move and pretended not to hear it.

Old Huang had no choice but to shout again: "Master Li, Master Li."

Suddenly, Li Kailang seemed to be awakened and opened his eyes. "Who is this? Oh, it's Old Huangtou. What can I do for you?"

Old Huang smiled flatteringly and said, "Hey, Master Li, I'm really sorry for what happened last time. I was greedy and blinded by money."

"I didn't appreciate Master Li's kindness. I deserve to die. I apologize to you. I'll slap myself a few times to calm you down."

After saying that, Old Huang stretched out his hand to slap himself, but when he noticed that Li Kailang was sitting there watching without doing anything, he realized that he had to slap himself.

"Pa pa~" a few crisp slaps came down.

"Hey, hey, hey, Old Huang, old Huang, why did you hit yourself?" Li Kailang stopped him immediately, showing great concern.

Old Huang insisted: "Master Li, please move aside. I was wrong in this matter and I deserve to be beaten."

"No need to do this, no need to do this, let's just forget about it." Li Kailang said politely.

The two sides pulled each other for a while, and Old Huang slapped himself a few more times.

Finally, under Li Kailang's intervention, he gave up the self-torture and said gratefully: "Master Li, thank you for not bearing grudges."

Li Kailang waved his hands: "No, no, we don't have any hatred, don't you think so, Old Huang?"

"Yes, yes, Master Li is right."

Hearing this, Old Huang breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Li Kailang didn't care about this matter, there was still room for discussion about the house.

Old Huang rubbed his hands awkwardly, "Master Li, do you still want my house?"

Li Kailang asked knowingly: "Why? Hasn't it been sold yet?"

Old Huang smiled awkwardly, "Not yet, isn't this reserved for you?"

Li Kailang was too lazy to expose the truth. Seeing that Old Huang had admitted his mistake, there was no need for him to continue to punish him. After all, he still wanted the house.

"Okay, I want this house. What's your price?"

Old Huang looked at Li Kailang with flickering eyes, not knowing how much to say, so he asked tentatively: "500?"

"Okay, this is it." Li Kailang nodded. He could bargain for the price, but the house issue had been delayed for so long, it was time for there to be a result.

Zhang Fen was in a hurry to get it, so he agreed to the price directly to avoid any complications.

"Thank you, thank you Master Li." Old Huang said gratefully. He didn't expect Li Kailang to give him so much face.

"Let's make a deal first. I'll buy your two back houses and the accompanying small courtyard for 500 yuan."

"Yes, that's it."

"Okay, then you go back and wait. I'll call the people over and go to your house later to sign the contract." "Okay, I'll go back and wait for you." Seeing that Li Kailang was decisive and efficient, Old Huang readily accepted the offer. He also wanted to get the money and find his son as soon as possible.

"Okay, you go back first, I'll call them now."

"Okay, please come to Master Li."

"You're welcome. I hope you won't regret it later."

"No regrets, no regrets."

Old Huang went home, and Li Kailang rode his bicycle to look for the Zhang family.

Not long after, the Zhang family, the Yu family and Li Kailang went straight to Old Huang's house.

"Old Huang, do you really want to sell the house?" Zhang Fen asked impatiently.

Old Huang looked at the two families' hurried appearances and realized that they were even more impatient than himself, and he felt even more annoyed.

"If I had known I would have waited a few more days so I wouldn't have lost face."

But there was no point in knowing that. Everything had been agreed upon. If he went back on his word, he would lose all face and it would be even more impossible to sell the house.

"Sell it. It's all agreed upon." Old Huang said indifferently.

Since the house was for sale, the two parties started talking about it and agreed on a price of 500 yuan. The Zhang family also brought the money.

"Okay, since everyone is here and the money has been brought, let's finish it quickly and start signing the contract." Li Kailang stepped forward and said.

Both parties nodded. Li Kailang had already brought paper and pen, in duplicate, to write the transfer contract.

With the completion of the three major reforms, real estate transactions were terminated nationwide in 1956, officially ending the life of real estate capital.

That is to say, from this time on, it is strictly forbidden to buy and sell houses. They can only be rented out, and the renting out must follow the regulations, and the owner cannot do whatever he wants.

But there is a policy from above that we want to achieve. Since we cannot buy and sell openly, we can do it secretly and sign a transfer contract.

"Sign it." Li Kailang quickly wrote two identical contracts.

It includes a lot of information about the house's structure, appearance, price, geographical location, etc., to ensure that the location of the house can be found accurately.

Old Huang took the contract carefully, looked at it carefully, found no problems, and signed the contract.

Zhang Fen and Yu Xuewei trusted Li Kailang very much and didn't even look at him.

"Since there is no problem, then bring out the things in person: 500 yuan and the land and property ownership certificate."

The two of them took them out and checked each other's money, land and property ownership certificates, which the other party did not have, to confirm that there were no problems.

"If there is no problem, please sign and seal it."

Old Huang, Zhang Fen and Yu Xuewei nodded and signed the contract.

"Okay, each party takes one." After completing it, Li Kailang handed the two contracts to the two people.

Both parties held the money they wanted and the land and property ownership certificates.

"Master Li, let's go to the street office quickly." Old Huang was very happy when he got the money. He finally bought the house and would be reunited with his son in a few days.

"Don't worry, there's still a contract to sign."

"What else?" Both parties were puzzled. How could there be more? In the market, it would be enough to just sign the transfer contract.

"Don't worry, it won't take much time. It will be quick. It's just a matter of signing."

Li Kailang said as he took out two contracts from his pocket.

"Well, just sign this house sale contract." Li Kailang handed the contract to the two of them.

The contents of a house sales contract are similar to those of a transfer contract, with only some changes in the wording.

After the buyer and seller have communicated and negotiated the structure, area, price, etc. of the house, they write a house sales contract and both parties sign and seal it.

At this point, the house transaction is completed.

Simply put, one is a transfer contract and the other is a sales contract.

After reading the contract, Old Huang said as if he was facing a formidable enemy: "Master Li, what are you doing? Are you violating a taboo?"

The sale and purchase of houses is strictly prohibited. How could Li Kailang produce a sales contract? What if someone finds out?
"Don't worry. As long as we don't say anything, no one will know about this. If you are worried, you can burn it after signing the contract and pretend it never happened."

"I don't mean anything, I just want to get some insurance, you don't have to worry too much, Old Huang."

The Zhang and Yu families didn't understand why Li Kailang suddenly did this, but they knew that Li Kailang would definitely not harm them.

Zhang Fen and Yu Xuewei signed immediately, and then looked at Old Huang, "Old Huang, we have already signed. If you are worried, you can sign ours and you don't have to sign yours."

Old Huang looked at Li Kailang, then at the Zhang and Yu families, and finally at the contract in his hand. His eyes flickered and no one knew what he was thinking, but he couldn't figure out why.

"Okay, I'll sign it." To be on the safe side, Old Huang only signed Zhang Fen's copy. He did not sign the copy in his hand and just burned it.

"Okay, everything is done, let's go to the street office to transfer the ownership."

A group of people went to the street office in a mighty manner to handle the transfer of the house, and they checked information with each other on the way.

"Old Huang, has the house been sold?" the person from the street office joked.

"Hey, what do you mean by 'sold it'? I gave it to my apprentice." Old Huang pretended to be angry and pointed at Zhang Fen.

"This is my new apprentice. He has a good personality. I'll give him the house. He will take care of me in my old age, right, apprentice?"

"That's it, Master." Zhang Fen nodded and agreed.

The staff looked at the big family coming and said, "Everyone has their own parents, so why should they provide for you in your old age?" This excuse is totally untenable.

But he knew it all but didn't say anything. He was too lazy to care. He just wanted an excuse to write on the transfer column.

Soon, the transfer procedures were completed and the house was officially transferred to Zhang Fen and Yu Xuewei.

From now on, the two of them have their own house.

"Everyone is happy, everyone is happy." Li Kailang congratulated.

"Haha." Zhang Fen held his own land deed and smiled from ear to ear.

The same went for Old Huang. The house issue was finally over, and he could finally reunite with his son.

Old Huang looked at Zhang Fen and said, "I haven't bought the ticket yet. I may have to stay in the house for another two or three days. I will leave as soon as I buy the ticket. Everything in the room belongs to you. You can do whatever you want with it."

Zhang Fen said, "You should stay in the house. We are not in a hurry. Two or three days won't delay things."

"Thank you." Old Huang thanked him and left first to go to the station to buy a ticket and pack his clothes.

Everyone came to Li Kailang's house.

As soon as he came in, he couldn't help but ask about the contract. "Xiao Li, why do you want us to sign a house sale contract? Isn't this a taboo?"

"I know, this is just in case. I don't trust Old Huang. What if he changes his mind? What if he gets wronged by his son and wants to take the house back?"

Hearing this, everyone was silent.

What can we do? Of course we should return the house to Old Huang. After all, it was originally his house.

Just an apparent transfer contract cannot restrict people from taking back the house.

"Let's be a villain first and a gentleman later. We must be on guard against others. Look at what Old Huang did before. I'm worried about him."

Li Kailang said calmly: "Signing this house sale contract is also just in case. If Old Huang really wants to come back to ask for the house, with this contract, he won't be able to get the house back."

"If he insists on taking the house back, and you guys are also left without a house, then you can just give up and take out this contract. You won't have a house, and neither will he."

He won't go to jail, but his house will definitely be confiscated, and they will die together, and Old Huang will be the one who suffers in the end.

He was driven back by his son. At such an old age, what kind of job can he do?

On the other hand, although Zhang Fen spent more than 1 yuan, he is still young and can still make money, so he can buy another house sooner or later.

"Xiao Li, you have considered everything carefully." Zhang Jinwu nodded.

"How can you be so thoughtful when you have nothing to do? By the way, Brother Zhang, now that you have the house, let's quickly arrange for the renovation. There are still three months until the Chinese New Year, which is plenty of time for renovation."

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang Fen responded excitedly.

"I have already planned it. Let's find Lao Han and his team who helped you with the renovation before. They have experience and they happen to be free. But I'll have to trouble you to draw up the blueprints."

Li Kailang replied: "I have already drawn the blueprint, I'll give it to you."

He turned around and went into the house to get the blueprint, then handed it to Zhang Fen, "I'll help you keep an eye on the decoration when I'm free."

After a quick review, Zhang Fen took Yu Xuewei and excitedly went to find Lao Han and the others.

As for the four parents, seeing that their children Zhang Fen and Yu Xuewei were excited, they did not get involved in their affairs.

As the wedding approaches, they have to detail the details of the wedding to avoid mistakes.

"Hey, Xiao Li, why are you going out?" Zhang Jinwu couldn't help but ask when he saw Li Kailang leaving.

Li Kailang: "Oh, I'll go tell those landlords. We agreed before that we'll let them know the results before the end of the month. Don't forget."

"That's true. We can't break our promises. Thank you for the trouble."

"Nothing." Li Kailang went out.
