“l heard that you just gave some compensation to the people who were persecuted by Gao Ying back then. You already gave away 100,000 dollars! Yet you still have so much money! Is your money clean! We don’t want the dirty money that Gao Ying earned back then!” the man shouted.
“This is my own money. I am back from overseas,” Qiao Mei said.
Everyone widened their eyes and looked at Qiao Mei in shock. People who returned from overseas were all very rich. After all, they all came back with foreign currency. In addition, they were all knowledgeable and smart. None of them were simple people!
They now believed that the money in Qiao Mei’s hands was clean. In that case, they did not want to let go of such a good deal. No matter where they lived, they would need to pay rent, so the location did not really matter.
“I’m not leaving! What right do you have to chase me away! 1 like this place! I want to live here!” an old woman with white hair shouted from inside the crowd. Another old woman soon joined in. The two of them had known each other since they were young and had always lived in this area.
These two women rented the master bedrooms on the second and fourth floors of the Gao family’s ancestral home separately. Their rooms were very big and the furnishings inside were also very exquisite. Just the crystal ceiling lamp alone was very expensive. Yet, their monthly rent was the same as everyone else, at three dollars a month.
If they moved out of this place, they definitely could not get the same type of accommodation for three dollars a month. They were not that stupid to take such a risk.
“Everyone, please consider carefully! The amount of 1,500 dollars is not a small sum! If you’re lucky and work hard to save up, you may be able to buy your own house soon!”
“After living here for so many years, you must all be familiar with all the houses in this area. You should know which houses available for rent are the nicest! Don’t be too slow! Otherwise, there won’t be any more vacant houses in this area!” Qiao Mei shouted.
When some people heard what Qiao Mei said, they quickly ran back to pack their things. They could earn 1,500 dollars if they moved out within a day! That was enough to pay for rent for 10 years!
Seeing that some people were still hesitating, Qiao Mei stood on a platform and shouted, “Everyone, don’t be discouraged! Even if there are no more vacant houses around here! You can still go to the surrounding districts to look around! After all, 1,500 dollars is more than enough money for you to get married!”
Another group of people left. Five minutes later, the crowd dispersed, leaving only the two old women who were determined not to move. They were still throwing a tantrum, but Qiao Mei did not care about that. Once everyone else moved away, the two of them would not be able to hold on for long.
“You want to take back this house! Not unless I’m dead!” one of the old women said.
“Auntie, look carefully. This is my house and I have the title deed! Do I need your permission to take back my own house? I’d advise you to pack your things quickly. If you don’t move out within the stipulated time, I will ask someone to move out all your things. If there’s any damage, don’t come looking for me,” Qiao Mei said.
“Little girl, how can you be so unreasonable! What right do you have to move our things away! You have no right to do this!” the old woman said angrily. “Of course I have the right to do this! If you don’t believe me, just give it a try!’
After saying that, Qiao Mei walked towards the community office, leaving the two of them standing there in a fit of pique.
At first, the staff in the community office did not believe that Qiao Mei could get it done. After all, the people living in that house were all very difficult to deal with. Gao Hai had not been able to do it even after five to six years. How could a little girl do it?
It was soon proven that Qiao Mei could do it and very effectively. She used her own money to encourage the people to move out. This was completely legal and they could not interfere.
However, once Qiao Mei chased these people out, the community office could no longer collect rent from them. The staff in the community office did not look too happy to have lost such a huge income.
Xia Wen came in handy at moments like this. Sometimes, authority was more effective than money. Qiao Mei sat in the main hall of the community office and waited for Xia Wen to do his part.
Not long after, a staff member walked up to Qiao Mei respectfully and said, “We really didn’t know that you’re Mr. Xia’s relative! We must be blind to have neglected you!!
“It’s fine, it’s fine! We’re all friends, there’s no need to be so polite,” Qiao Mei said happily..
