Why? Why are you randomly increasing the price? Isn't it obvious you don't want me to return to my own house!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is our old Jia family's house; I've lived here my whole life; why are you raising the price!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you even human? My life is so bitter; now you want to charge me 200 yuan a month in rent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Zhangshi started acting like a rogue, hoping Chen Tian would make a concession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chen Tian didn't have the time to reason with such a rogue old woman!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, stop howling at my door; are you renting the house or not? If you keep howling here, don't even think about renting it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is your only chance, 200 yuan! Are you giving it or not? If not, get lost now; this house will have nothing to do with your Jia family in the future, and no one in your family will be able to rent it or get it back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Tian's pressure was revealed, and Jia Jia Zhangshi shrank back a few steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Chen Tian's words, Jia Jia Zhangshi shut her mouth; she didn't dare to say anything more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was their old Jia family's house for a lifetime; if she couldn't redeem it in the future, wouldn't that be sending her to hell?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now she also felt that Qin Qin Huairu and Chen Tian were on good terms, and if she thought of a way later, she might be able to get Qin Qin Huairu to get the house back from Chen Tian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Jia Jia Zhangshi could only take a step back!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, isn't it just 200 yuan? I'll give it to you; you'd better remember what you said today, don't regret it later!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Zhangshi was truly about to be driven mad, but she had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Tian nodded and held out his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Zhangshi searched her body, but only took out a few dozen yuan, and finally took out a jade bracelet, two rings, and even a jar of expensive tea from her pocket!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These things should be worth 200 yuan, this is enough, right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Zhangshi still felt aggrieved, her attitude extremely bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chen Tian only took the few dozen yuan from Jia Jia Zhangshi's hand and didn't take anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won't accept these things; you bring me cash! I know whether these things are valuable or not!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I've never seen you wear these things before; this jade bracelet looks like good quality; if it were yours, you should have been wearing it to show off!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I haven't seen you take it out for many years, and now you're taking it out to compare; this shouldn't be yours, right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Tian saw at a glance that these things were definitely not Jia Jia Zhangshi's, and said this on purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Jia Jia Zhangshi was directly interested; she didn't expect Chen Tian to see through it at a glance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is that possible? This was my dowry when I married into the Jia family, but I just couldn't bear to take it out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean it's not mine? How is it not mine? This is mine, stop talking nonsense!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't you want cash? I'll take it to the pawnshop now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Zhangshi's excited appearance was just too suspicious; she even tried to put the jade bracelet on her hand, but with Jia Jia Zhangshi's fat hand, she couldn't even fit three fingers in!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Zhangshi's appearance was just too stupid; it was obvious at a glance that she had stolen someone else's things!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jia Jia Zhangshi, could it really be that you stole these things from somewhere? Don't bring these things into the courtyard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly! How many things have happened in your courtyard, it's all on the news, don't you know?
