The Zhou family showed great enthusiasm for Zhang Chi's arrival, but Zhang Daxian knew clearly that the people's politeness and enthusiasm were not directed at him, but all for the sake of the demolished house. He and his classmate Zhou Liangmin
This is the first time in these years that I have been invited to our house for dinner.
Zhang Chi didn't show politeness to the Zhou family either. He opened his cheeks to eat and drink when he needed to. After eating and drinking enough, his eyes began to scan the Zhou family's two-bedroom house like a radar.
Although I live in a building, it is an old community, with a total area of less than fifty square meters, and the house is nearly twenty years old, so the structural design concept is very backward.
Zhou Liangmin lives in a large room facing the south. In order to facilitate his study, his parents exchanged the bedroom that originally belonged to them with their son. Now the couple lives in the north room, which is less than nine square meters.
Zhou Liangmin also has an older sister who studies in college in the provincial capital and only comes back every year during the holidays. When she comes back, she can only deal with her on the sofa in the living room, all to make way for Zhou Liangmin who is about to take the college entrance examination.
Zhang Chi also had some confidence in his heart. The conditions of the Zhou family were very ordinary. Such families often expected their children to change their destiny through study. Zhou Liangmin's sister Zhou Liangting had successfully been admitted to the Provincial Medical University, and now it was Zhou Liangmin's turn.
With Zhou Liangmin's current grades, it shouldn't be difficult to get into a university, but his goal is even more ambitious, and he wants to enter Shuimu, a top university in the country.
The main reason that prompted him to set this goal was Lin Daiyu, because he knew that Lin Daiyu chose Shuimu, and he wanted to realize his wish to enter the same university as Lin Daiyu in this way.
After dinner, Zhou Liangmin explained to Zhang Chi that he was going to a cram school nearby. Zhang Chi also expressed his understanding. People who have pursuits know that hard work is always good.
After Zhou Liangmin left, his mother enthusiastically made Zhang Chi a cup of jasmine. Zhou's father took out the printed agreement a little reservedly: "Zhang Chi, take a look! If there are no problems, we will sign the agreement.
."
They didn't have much favorable impressions of this little fat guy before, and they even privately told their son to avoid associating with this underachieving student, so as not to delay his studies. It definitely makes sense to be close to the red and black.
Zhang Chi picked up the agreement and glanced at it. When he saw the amount of the agreement, he paid attention. It said that the handling fee was 40,000, plus the 60,000 demolition compensation he originally deserved. The total was 100,000, because after the demolition compensation,
It will be directly deducted from the house price, so the Zhou family will directly give this money to Zhang Chi.
The agreement also specifically emphasized that after signing, if he regrets it, he will have to pay triple compensation, which means he will have to compensate his family 300,000 yuan.
Zhang Chi felt a little unhappy when he saw this. Although he understood the concerns of the Zhou family, the demand for compensation for going back on his word was a bit too harsh. You must know that he and Zhou Liangmin were classmates, and he wanted to take away 10,000 yuan out of this kindness.
Transfer fee, why can’t the Zhou family trust themselves so much this time? People are so cold! Can’t there be more trust between people?
Zhou's father seemed to notice Zhang Chi's displeasure, coughed and said with a smile: "The format contract is written like this. In fact, I don't even need an agreement at all. We watched you grow up, what kind of child are you?
, we still don’t understand?”
Zhou's mother followed: "Yes, yes! Xiao Chi is so loyal and honest, how could he go back on his word? Lao Zhou, I said there is no need to go to such trouble."
Zhang Chi chuckled: "Since uncle and aunt find it troublesome, then don't sign it, just give me the money, and the house will belong to you."
The couple immediately panicked upon hearing this.
"That can't be done..."
"Xiao Chi, love is love, and you still have to go through the procedures, otherwise you won't be protected, right..."
Zhang Chi looked at the faces of the two people who suddenly became frightened, and suddenly felt an inexplicable joy in his heart. Don't pretend to be a good person, otherwise you will be struck by lightning. You have to pretend to be reluctant when you obviously take advantage. I have no guarantee?
Or are you worried that I will change my mind?
Zhang Chi said: "That's right. If I don't sign, if my uncle and aunt regret not buying it one day, wouldn't I have to refund the money to you?"
Dad Zhou smiled and said: "No, no." It's so cheap, I would change my mind and not buy it unless I got crazy.
Zhang Chi said: "The agreement only says that if I go back on the deal, I will pay three times the price, but it doesn't say how much you will pay me if you go back on the deal and don't buy." I don't want to take advantage, but I can't suffer a loss either.
Father Zhou said matter-of-factly: "Is there any?" He felt a little depressed. Didn't his son often say that this child is not smart? Why does he feel so smart? How can such a young child be so philistine? Compare with him.
, Our children are really too innocent.
Zhou's mother said: "It was an oversight, it was an oversight, let's just add it. If we regret it... how much do you think we should pay?" She is not afraid of compensation. Anyway, the demolition quota is a good thing, not to mention it is better than outside.
It's ten thousand cheaper, only a fool would regret it.
However, his relaxed eyes were fixed on Zhou's mother's wrist. On Zhou's mother's hand, she wore a jadeite bracelet, which was of average quality and made of glutinous rice. It had been broken in the past, so the broken part was inlaid with two pieces of gold.
It's even less valuable.
Zhang Chi paid attention not to the bracelet itself, but to the gold-inlaid parts of the bracelet. He always felt that these two gold-inlaid parts were a little special, dull and not pure enough, but Immortal Zhang felt the aura of fine gold keenly.
Mother Zhou saw the little fat man staring at her wrist and subconsciously retracted his hand. This kid doesn't even understand the rule of "don't look at anything inappropriate"?
Zhang Chi's next words shocked the couple: "Auntie, please give me this bracelet."
The couple was furious. Why was this guy so thick-skinned? Why did the price suddenly increase for the things they had agreed to do? Mother Zhou touched her bracelet. In fact, it didn’t cost much, so she went to get it specially.
I checked the price at the market, but it was only a thousand yuan. If it was in good condition, I could sell it for more, but this bracelet is meaningful.
Zhou's mother said: "Xiao Chi, this bracelet was given to me by your Uncle Zhou's grandma when I got married to your Uncle Zhou."
She didn't lie. The bracelet was like this at the time, and it's not worth much even if it's worn to this day.
Father Zhou thought to himself that this kid must have heard the rumors outside. He knew that the transfer fee was already 70,000 yuan. He felt that they had lost 40,000 yuan, so he sat on the floor and raised the price. His face became a little ugly: "Xiao Chi, the price is ours."
Didn't you regret what you said in advance?"
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "That's not true, how can things be changed as promised, but I think I quite like this bracelet."
Mother Zhou secretly glanced at her husband. After all, they had taken advantage. If they offended this boy and really regretted not selling it, wouldn't they be in trouble? She smiled and said: "Xiao Chi, this bracelet is not worth much."
, Otherwise, do you think we can add a thousand or forty thousand transfer fee to you on the original basis?"
Zhang Chi said: "Thirty-eight thousand, give me the bracelet."
The couple were stunned when they heard this. This bracelet was indeed not worth two thousand, but the more Zhang Chi wanted it, the more they murmured in their hearts, could it be that this bracelet is really a treasure?
Father Zhou said: "Forty-two thousand, let's buy it for a fixed price."
"Including the bracelet?"
Father Zhou really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. I added two thousand to you and also gave you the bracelet. You thought I was as stupid as you. He shook his head and said firmly: "Not included!"
"Thirty-five thousand with a bracelet, otherwise I won't sign this agreement." This guy really wants the bracelet.
The couple looked at each other and said to themselves that this child is really not smart. He is single-minded and sticks to something he is determined to do. Five thousand! It is not a small amount. The bracelet can only be sold for one thousand at most in the cultural toy market.
piece.
Zhou's father was relieved. He understood his wife's meaning from her eyes and pretended to be in trouble: "Thirty thousand with a bracelet!"
Zhang Chi was very happy: "Deal!" He knew that Zhou's father wanted to take advantage of the situation, but Immortal Zhang didn't care. How could a mortal's eyesight be able to understand his broad mind? According to the Chinese language book, then
Just let the sparrow know the ambition of the swan!
Zhou’s mother immediately wanted to take off the bracelet, but because she was getting fat in middle age, her wrists were a little thick, so it was impossible to take them off by drying them, so she had to go to the bathroom to put some soap on them to lubricate them.
Zhou's father was worried that Zhang Chi would change his mind, so he struck a blow while the iron was hot and persuaded Zhang Chi to sign the re-drafted agreement.
Zhang Chi had just signed his name and was about to press his fingerprints when he heard a scream coming from the bathroom, mixed with a crisp cracking sound.
Dad Zhou moved as fast as a rabbit, and rushed out in a single step. He rushed into the bathroom like a flashman. When he saw the jade bracelet broken into several pieces on the ground, and then saw the prodigal woman who was crying without tears, he felt very angry.
