Chapter 95: Moral Captivity (Part 4)
Their goal was simple: as long as they could persuade Mengyu to give the house to Ma Dapan, Ma Dapan wouldn’t trouble them anymore.
Having a bad neighbor would be a matter for the future.
As for how much money Mengyu would lose by transferring the house to Ma Dapan, the loss wasn’t theirs!
Besides, they were not the ones benefiting, so why should it matter to them? Mengyu sighed and said, "Alright, I’ll tell you the truth, I bought this house on behalf of someone else for thirty thousand yuan. It’s a triple courtyard with more than 300 square meters. I thought the price was very reasonable, so I made the decision to buy it.
But now, you ask me to transfer it to Ma Dapan for twelve thousand, I’m not saying it’s impossible, but the money lost cannot come from me. I have to use the money to buy another courtyard elsewhere.
Since you came to me to transfer the courtyard to avoid Ma Dana’s threats, and you are the beneficiaries, you should discuss among yourselves how to compensate for my loss.
Ma Dapan offered twelve thousand, there’s a difference of eighteen thousand yuan, whoever needs me to transfer the house to Ma Dapan should come up with the money.
If all of you need me to give up this courtyard to ensure you’re free from threats, then you should agree among yourselves how to collectively raise the eighteen thousand yuan."
The group of neighbors was stunned when they heard Mengyu ask them to pay. How did this young girl suddenly become so smart?
How could they agree to give her money to compensate for her loss in selling the house?
Seeing their dumbfounded expressions, Mengyu thought to herself: They were so righteous when asking others to make sacrifices, but they hesitate to step forward when it came to their own loss? That’s human nature, bullying the weak, fearing the strong, all selfish and self-serving.
She pretended to be surprised: "I’ve already accomplished the task, buying such a great courtyard for just thirty thousand yuan, and I could have completed the task. Now for your sakes, I’m painfully giving up the courtyard, and I have to find another house. Can’t you even spend a little money?"
Upon further looking at Mengyu, the neighbors wore looks of disdain, thinking she bought the courtyard for herself when it was actually an errand for someone else.
However, thinking of Ma Dapan’s threats, they felt depressed: If the homeowner wasn’t this young girl, convincing her to give it up became even less likely.
Granny Long coughed and said, "It’s also your fault, why did you buy the house so quickly? You should have asked us neighbors first." Granny Long thought more and more it was right: Yes, it’s this young girl’s fault, who buys a house without asking the neighbors first, yet she out of nowhere just bought it.
It’s all her fault!
Mengyu laughed out loud, "The house belongs to Uncle Chen, and because he wants to move in with his son, he decided to sell it. I wanted a house and fell in love with it at first sight, so I bought his house.
He sold his own house, he had the right to sell, and I bought a legitimate house, not stolen or robbed. In this transaction, one willing to sell and one willing to buy, could it possibly wrong others?"
The neighbors thought, well, you indeed wronged someone, you wronged Ma Dapan.
The tall, thin woman shouted loudly, "No matter what, you have to give up this house."
