Chapter 91: The House Cannot Be Bought
"No more, I dare not, please spare me." Ma Dapan pleaded, "No, no, no, I dare not buy your courtyard anymore."
Mengyu ominously said, "Didn’t you say you were going to have your brother come to kill me?"
"Not at all, not at all, my brother is not as capable as you, I will not call him." Ma Dapan quickly assured. But a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.
As soon as she would be free, she would definitely ask her brother to come and cripple this vile girl.
Mengyu, of course, could not really kill this woman. Seeing she had tormented her enough, she directly grabbed her belt, lifted up the one hundred and eighty jin heavy Ma Dapan, and threw her out of the courtyard gate while shouting,
"Scram!"
Ma Dapan fell all over, crying out "aiya" from the pain as she got up. Just as she was about to start cursing, she found Mengyu standing on the doorstep staring at her with an icy glance.
How could she dare to curse? She got up and fled.
But before she left, she turned her head and shouted, "All of you, just you all wait!"
Mengyu found it strange; she was clearly alone, why did she say "all of you"?
Thinking it over, she realized the words were probably not meant for her, so she ignored them.
She thought about how Old man Chen had sold the house yesterday and was in a rush to move out this early morning. Mengyu vaguely felt that she might have been deceived by Old man Chen—perhaps there was something problematic with this house.
However, the procedures were regular, and the courtyard had already been transferred to her name; it belonged to her now. Even if there were other issues, she was not afraid.
Considering Ma Dapan mentioned her brother before leaving and had a resentful look in her eyes, she was sure to call her brother.
But as a cultivator who has achieved Qi Gathering First Layer and is a Level 1 Martial Artist, should she be afraid of some petty ruffian?
If Ma Dapan didn’t bring her brother, so be it. If she did, Mengyu was determined to give them a good lesson to frighten them properly.
Only after Ma Dapan had run far away did some neighbors on either side open their doors and looked towards Mengyu.
The neighbors were surprised to see the new neighbor was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. Was it this young girl who had actually driven away the notorious Ma Dapan?
A square-faced auntie asked, "Young girl, did you buy Old man Chen’s courtyard?"
If it were not for the unnatural smile on her face, Mengyu would have thought she had come over to greet her kindly. Even spotting the forced smile on the square-faced auntie’s face, Mengyu still smiled politely and nodded, "Hello, Auntie, yes you are right, I bought Uncle Chen’s courtyard, and now I am the new owner of this property. My surname is Jiang, you can call me Xiao Jiang. What is your surname, Auntie?"
The square-faced auntie sighed, "I am surnamed Long, ah, Xiao Jiang, you’re young, how can you handle matters so unreliably? This big decision to buy a house, didn’t anyone from your family come with you, just letting a young girl like you make the decision? Didn’t you inquire before buying?"
Mengyu was startled, "What? This house shouldn’t be bought?"
Granny Long frowned, "Of course. How did you buy this house? This house shouldn’t be bought, you bought it, how can Ma Dapan tolerate you?"
Mengyu felt a stir in her heart, "Why? The house belongs to Uncle Chen, if Uncle Chen wants to sell and I want to buy, why won’t she let me go after buying Uncle Chen’s house?"
"Ah, this matter, it’s a long story."
