Chapter 791 Xier Settles the Account (12)
Zhang Tan opened the door and saw a short, sturdy, dark-skinned young man standing outside.
The other party smiled when he saw the door open, and then saw a man appear. He was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had knocked on the wrong room. He took two steps back and looked at the house number on the door, 311. Yes, it was here. He looked sideways inside and saw two girls, one big and one small, inside. Who else could it be but Tan Jiner.
"Who are you?" The other party asked before Zhang Tan, full of suspicion, and greeted Tan Jiner, but Tan Jiner didn't even look at him, and absent-mindedly buried her head in picking up food for Xier.
Xier looked at the food in her bowl with a bitter face. It was piled up like a mountain. Her little belly was already bulging, and she couldn't eat so much, but her sister didn't seem to want to stop, and she was still picking up food, non-stop.
Tan Jiner, who seemed to be indifferent to the things at the door, was actually so focused that she didn't notice that Xier's small flower bowl was running out of food.
"Eat." Seeing Xi'er didn't move, Tan Jin'er even put down the spoon.
Xi'er put her hands behind her back, as if she was worried that her sister would grab her hands and force her to eat.
She shook her head repeatedly, no more, no more!
Tan Jin'er then noticed that the mountain of food in Xi'er's bowl was all what she had just unconsciously picked up.
"Eat a little more, don't waste it."
"...Does it count as 5 bowls of rice?"
"..."
"If not, then Xi'er won't eat."
"Okay, count."
Xi'er made a bitter face, and decided to give it a try to pay off her debt. At the same time, her eyes looked at the door from time to time, and she was very curious about it. If her sister hadn't stopped her, she would have run over to eat melons and watch.
She likes eating melons and watching dramas the most, it's really interesting!
Zhang Tan at the door responded: "Don't worry about who I am, we are eating, come back later if you have nothing to do."
As he said that, he closed the door, but before he left, the door was knocked again, and there was a sound outside the door.
Zhang Tan opened the door again. This time, he didn't wait for the other party to speak. He asked the other party's name and learned that his name was Tan Zhongxiang.
Under Zhang Tan's questioning, Tan Zhongxiang subconsciously answered one by one. He was 25 years old and worked as a contractor on the construction site. His salary was more than 200,000 yuan a year, which was very good in the countryside. He was also a high-quality stock and favored by girls' parents.
Zhang Tan asked him to go back first and he would come to talk to them tomorrow.
The door was closed. Tan Zhongxiang calmed down for a while outside the door. The draft made him shiver. He finally woke up. He was led by the other party just now, like a child being questioned by his parents.
He was very angry and wanted to knock on the door to talk to Zhang Tan again, but there was a force in his heart that stopped him.
Finally, he returned with his things. When he passed the front desk on the first floor, the boss lady asked him how the matter was. He ignored it and hurried away with his head down. When he returned home, he told his eldest brother about the matter. The two decided to come together early the next morning to ask clearly.
But when the two arrived at the hotel early the next morning, they were told by the proprietress that the three of them were out.
Xier's little magpie chirped and was so happy that she could go out. When she left, she gave the proprietress a sweet candied fruit and wished her a happy new year. She took the opportunity to ask where Tan Jiner and the other two were going, and was told that they were going to the village.
The two brothers Tan Zhongxiang had to go back home. His brother said there was no need to rush, just wait at home, and the other party would definitely come to them on their own initiative.
Sure enough, at almost 11 o'clock in the morning, Tan Jiner came with a group of people. There was a strange handsome young man, one was Tan Jiner's cousin, one was the village chief, and even the captain of the detachment came. There was another one, who they recognized as the deputy mayor of the town.
This situation~
Zhang Tan had discussed with Tan Jiner last night that they were in the right in this matter, so they had to create momentum and call more people.
Zhang Tan certainly had his own way to deal with it, but he was an outsider to the Tanjia village, and in the countryside, it was taboo for outsiders to oppress "their own people", even if they were right.
If Tan Jin'er got a reputation of calling outsiders to bully her own people, her life in the village would be even more difficult in the future.
They were the right party, and there were plenty of ways, so early in the morning, he and Tan Jin'er carried gifts and visited everywhere to invite these people.
Facing the questioning of the crowd, the two brothers Tan Zhongxiang said confidently that they had agreed to move the things away a long time ago, but they had to wait until after the New Year. It was unlucky to move during the New Year, and they had no time because they were busy visiting relatives.
The deputy mayor looked at Zhang Tan, and Zhang Tan looked at the village chief, who said: "Then you set a time, a specific day to move, and keep your word."
The two brothers Tan Zhongxiang said that it would be after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so they would move at the end of the first lunar month.
Zhang Tan said it was okay.
Hearing this, the two brothers Tan Zhongxiang were a little proud. As the saying goes, those who borrow money are afraid of those who owe money. Tan Jin'er will leave in a few days. At that time, it will be up to them to decide whether to move the house or not and when to move. The emperor is far away, and Tan Jin'er can do nothing.
But they immediately saw Zhang Tan told the deputy mayor that he would ask the deputy mayor to come over to check and supervise. If the house has not been moved, the next step will be taken.
The deputy mayor actually agreed and said that he would definitely guarantee it.
The two brothers Tan Zhongxiang were a little stunned, thinking who this friend of Tan Jin'er was, and he could actually invite the deputy mayor.
They originally just wanted to use this excuse to delay, but now it seems that there is no way to delay, but the promise cannot be regretted. Let's see if the deputy mayor will come to the door at that time.
At this time, I suddenly heard Zhang Tan say: "The move has been decided, now let's talk about the cost."
The two brothers, Tan Zhongxiang, were a little confused. What was the fee?
Zhang Tan said, of course he occupies someone else’s home all year round. Are the venue fees and rental fees free? In addition, due to long-term storage of sundries, the home is dark, damp, unventilated, and full of insects. This is a loss fee and must be included in the cost.
Just when Tan Zhongxiang was about to speak, Zhang Tan said again, it's not over yet, there is still cleaning that needs to be done after moving, and the cleaning fee and labor fee will be charged!
Just as the two brothers Tan Zhongxiang were about to speak, Zhang Tan said again: "It's not over yet. Because you have occupied other people's homes, they have no place to live when they go home for the New Year. They can only stay in a hotel in the town. Do they have to pay for food and accommodation?" Should we include the additional transportation expenses, mental damage expenses, and family reunion expenses..."
The two Tan Zhongxiang brothers were confused when they heard this. They quickly interrupted and asked: "Wait... what is the family reunion fee?"
Zhang Tan said: "My relatives came to visit me during the Chinese New Year, but when I came back, I found that they were no longer here. They were in a hotel in the town, which led to a decrease in the New Year atmosphere and only increased trouble. Don't we need to compensate for this? Mayor Tan, what do you think?"
Mayor Tan nodded and said: "Although there are many fees, they are all reasonable and should indeed be paid."
Zhang Tan smiled and asked the two Tan Zhongxiang brothers: "Do you still have any questions? If you don't have any questions, let's calculate the specific amount."
He shouted to Xi'er, who was squatting by the patio and looking at the little turtle as soon as he came in: "Xi'er, come and settle the accounts, this is your strength."
Under Tan Jin'er's surprised gaze, her sister actually ran over, took out a folded note from her pocket, handed it to Zhang Tan, and said proudly: "hiahia, I've done all the math."
Everyone: "..."
Tan Jin'er wanted to take the note and have a look. Why didn't she know they were planning this?
