Li Yu has few acquaintances in the town, only Chen Zongwen and Lin Laosi are familiar to him.

Chen Zongwen must be busy preparing for the production of the middle part of "Cooking Summit" now, and Li Yu has no intention of disturbing him.

So she went to find Lin Ziran. Lin Ziran had lived in the town for almost ten years. Even if he didn't know much about houses, he definitely knew which middleman was reliable.

Yunjin Textile is a medium-sized cloth shop in town. The owner lives in the capital and rarely comes to town. Therefore, Lin Ziran has the final say on many matters in the shop.

The weather is nice today, and there are only a few people in the store, but they are all greeted by the waiters.

Lin Ziran leaned against the counter and dozed off again.

"Fourth Uncle!" A crisp voice came, and he opened his eyes and saw that it was Meimei, the little daughter of his second brother, and his second sister-in-law who was following behind Meimei and holding Xiaobao's hand.

He quickly stood up and asked, "Little girl Meimei, why are you here? And second sister-in-law, come in quickly."

Lin Mei smiled and replied, "Fourth Uncle, you are actually being lazy. My mother and I came to ask you something. We are not very familiar with the town."

Li Yu also walked in and said, "Meimei is right. Old Four, do you know which middleman in Qingyan Town is the most reliable?"

"Middleman? Is my second sister-in-law going to buy a house?" No way, Lin Ziran was puzzled. Why is his second sister-in-law's business so good?

Li Yu knew what he was thinking and said, "I'm not looking to buy a house, I'm looking to rent a shop. The weather is getting colder and I'm worried about the children having to suffer setting up a stall, so I'm looking for a shop to rent. I'll start decorating it first and then open it when the weather gets colder."

Lin Ziran understood and introduced them: "Speaking of reliable middlemen, there really is one. Just keep walking along this road, turn left at the end and you'll find the third one.

There's a sign hanging on the door that says 'Wu Family Members'. This is the family, the elders of the town. They know everything about everyone's family, big or small. Of course, they know whether a house is good or bad, and the landlord's character. You can't go wrong by contacting them."

Li Yu nodded to indicate that he had remembered it, and said goodbye to him: "Then let's go and take a look. His fourth uncle, you go ahead and get busy."

Seeing that the two women were carrying a child, Lin Ziran felt a little worried and said, "Well, sister-in-law, wait for me. I'll take you there."

Of course, Li Yu couldn't let Lin Ziran follow her, because if she did, her intention to buy a house would be exposed.

It’s not that she wants to deceive everyone, but it’s really not a good thing to get rich suddenly. It’s better to keep a low profile. After Lin He passes the exam, she will tell everyone about her storytelling.

I quickly stopped him: "It's no big deal, it's okay. If we can't reach an agreement, I'll come back to you. You should just run the store."

Seeing this, Lin Ziran did not insist and just told them to come to him if they had any problems.

Li Yu agreed and left with Lin Mei and Xiaobao.

The "Wu Family" was easy to find. When they arrived, the shop was empty except for a middle-aged man napping at the door.

When Li Yu entered, the man quickly stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, is there anything I can help you with? We can help you with buying, selling, or renting houses."

Li Yu didn't waste any words and said directly: "I want to look at a shop. Of course, I'd like to buy it if the price is right."

The man knew it was a big deal and his attitude became even better: "I have a lot of shops here. It depends on what you want from the shop and what price range you want."

"I want a house with a backyard where people can live, preferably a bigger one." Li Yu said after thinking for a while.

"As you said, there are several places. Let me take you to see them. If you find one that suits your taste, we can talk about the price," he said.

Li Yu also thought this was fine, so he nodded in agreement.

The first one is in the south of the town. The backyard is very large and the shop is okay, but it is a bit old. If it is to be lived in, it must be renovated.

The second house was to the west, not far from Mingde School. It was also large, with a single courtyard. It had three main rooms, three east and three west wing rooms, and was considered large for a single courtyard.

The most important thing is that he is very close to Linhe School, so Linhe can go home for food and accommodation.

Li Yu was very tempted.

It is also on the street, the only regret is that there is no shop, it is a pure residential area.

Finally, she asked Lin Mei for her opinion. Lin Mei said, "Mom, why do you worry about whether or not we have a shop? Look at this gate facing the street. If we want a shop, why not just split the gate and this wall and build a shop? We can go in and out of the house through the shop, or we can open a small door next to the shop, which is so convenient."

This made Li Yu suddenly understand.

This is the one.

The man from Wuzhong was happy to see that Li Yu and the others had decided on this store. The seller was generous and promised to pay a large commission after the sale.

He quickly smiled and invited Li Yu and the others to go back to the store to discuss the price.

Only when they arrived at the store did Li Yu remember to ask how much this yard cost.

"Sister, the seller gave a price of 350 taels. What do you think? Of course, the seller also said that if you really want it, you can bargain a little." said the man from Wuzhong.

She has become the eldest sister-in-law from the eldest sister-in-law. Li Yu thinks that this Wuzhong man is also an interesting person.

She sighed inwardly: No matter what era, housing prices will always remain high.

After some bargaining, the two finally settled on 343 taels.

Seeing that it was still early, the group hurried to the county government office to transfer the ownership. After the transfer was completed and the key to the courtyard was handed to Li Yu, she could finally say that she truly had her own house in this dynasty.

After paying Wu Zhong a commission of one or two taels, the mother and daughter took Xiaobao to find Lin Hai and others to report the good news.
