Chapter 1257: Gave You the Recording, So You Could Take Revenge on Me
Mengyu shook her head, "This yard is my grandmother’s dowry. My grandmother passed it down to my father, and my father passed it down to me. I must rebuild it to its original appearance. Those woods were all red sandalwood, two hundred thousand yuan is not enough.
Moreover, there’s the large garden next to it, which you leased out to others. You need to take responsibility and reclaim it."
Indeed, there was a garden next to the yard, even larger in area than the yard itself.
This entire plot of land is over 3,900 square meters. The yard only covers more than 1,500 square meters, with the remaining 2,400 plus square meters being garden. Originally, it had rockeries, a fish pond, and pavilions, but now the garden is filled with vegetables, the pond is used to raise fish, and the fish pond is also raising chickens and ducks.
According to neighbors, the Yun family had leased it to a large restaurant, using it to grow vegetables and raise chickens and fish to provide the freshest produce and meat for the restaurant.
Since it housed many animals, the neighbors complained about the stench a few times. However, because this large garden brought Yun Geming a monthly income of several hundred yuan, the complaints were to no avail.
At this moment, hearing Mengyu asking him to take back the lease, how could he willingly agree?
However, Mengyu just lifted the recorder, and when Yun Geming thought of the contents of that recording, he deflated.
"I’ll give you eleven thousand, that should be enough to restore it to its original state, and I’ll help you reclaim the large garden, okay?"
Mengyu scoffed, "Director Yun is bullying me for my ignorance? The house originally used red sandalwood for materials. If you hadn’t sent Scar Fifth to burn it, it wouldn’t have deteriorated in hundreds of years. Are you suggesting using ordinary wood with one hundred thousand yuan?"
In fact, using ordinary wood wouldn’t even cost one hundred thousand yuan.
Yun Geming was about to cry. He had received some money, but the total was only around fifty thousand. If he had to produce two hundred and ten thousand, he’d have to sell off treasures or gold he had hidden during the great movement period. Doing so would bring him considerable risk.
Yun Geming wanted to suggest using things as collateral but knew that doing so would expose the fact that he had stolen treasures from wealthy families during the great movement period. Those items were not supposed to be seen and could only be sold on the black market, where they would go for much less than their worth.
He resented Mengyu deeply, yet he was helpless: how could he have been so foolish as to burn down this courtyard?
At the time, he thought that if he couldn’t live there, he’d rather destroy it than let others live there. But now it’s destroyed, and he has to pay to rebuild it.
Mengyu took out paper and pen, wrote an account number, and gave it to Yun Geming, saying, "Transfer the money to this account within three days, and the secret in my recorder will remain hidden. Otherwise, hmph, you know the consequences."
Yun Geming grumbled reluctantly, "Then after I give the money, will you give me the recording?"
Mengyu sneered, "Give you the recording so you can take revenge on me?"
Yun Geming did have such a thought, but he knew that Mengyu, with just a single move, could make him helpless, and he realized that this revenge could not be enacted.
He relented, "Fine, but you must promise that as long as I give you the money, the recording won’t be leaked."
Mengyu found it amusing; the recording was merely played for him by a ghost using spiritual power. It couldn’t be used as evidence at all.
Otherwise, Mengyu wouldn’t need to use this "recording" to coerce him into compensating her.
So, she straightforwardly said, "Rest assured, as long as you provide compensation, this recording will never be leaked."
Even if she wanted to, the recording couldn’t be leaked!
