After hearing what Li Cheng said about the house's value increasing and further increasing after the renovation was completed, everyone left satisfied.

Among them were people who rented their houses facing the street to fishmongers. What they wanted in their hearts was to go back and terminate the lease so that their street and their houses facing the street could be renovated as soon as possible.

Needless to say, Li Cheng's approach of shifting the blame was a good one. Now the fishmongers had no choice but to move out even if they didn't want to, because the landlord was going to take back the house.

After everyone left, Li Cheng and Weng Xiaozhu were about to leave, but at this moment, a thin man in his forties stopped Li Cheng.

Li Cheng took a look at the man and asked him what was the matter.

The man looked at Li Cheng, then at Weng Xiaozhu, and said, "Please wait, both of you. I just heard you two say you wanted to spend 100,000 yuan to buy a house. I wonder if you were just joking."

Li Cheng glanced at Weng Xiaozhu, which meant that there really was someone selling a house.

Weng Xiaozhu smiled and said, "We're definitely not joking! I don't know what you mean by asking this."

The man glanced at the people walking away, then lowered his voice and said, "Since you are not joking, I have a house. I wonder if you want to buy it."

Li Cheng and Weng Xiaozhu didn't say anything. They exchanged glances, and the question was, "Do you want to buy it or not?"

Both of them were obviously hesitant. Weng Xiaozhu hesitated because she didn't know whether Li Cheng would buy it. After all, Li Cheng already had a large courtyard here.

Li Cheng hesitated because he really didn't want to take advantage of this person. For 100,000 yuan, any house here would eventually appreciate in value by more than ten times.

Such a great bargain would be something anyone else would be eager to get. But Li Cheng didn't want this person to regret it, so he didn't express his opinion.

Seeing that Li Cheng and Weng Xiaozhu were silent, the man continued, "My yard is not far ahead. You two can go and take a look. If you like it..."

Before he could finish, Li Cheng waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go and take a look."

The man led the way, and soon the three of them arrived in front of a courtyard.

Li Cheng looked at the small courtyard in front of him. To be honest, it was really shabby.

Although other people's houses are also old, at least the facades are presentable. This family is not so particular, there is not even a facade, there is only a door panel blocking the entrance, not even a gatehouse.

Li Cheng shook his head. He thought this guy was too complacent. It shouldn't be hard to build a decent storefront, right? Why did he make it so shabby, giving the impression of a family in decline?

Seeing Li Cheng shaking his head, the man became anxious. He thought Li Cheng didn't like this courtyard. "Inside, it's quite spacious..."

As he spoke, he pushed open the door and walked in first...

Li Cheng and Weng Xiaozhu also followed him in. After entering the yard, Li Cheng saw that it was not as spacious as the man said.

Moreover, there are only three very low houses in this yard.

These three houses look quite old and are all made of adobe.

Time is merciless, and the wind and rain provide no shelter. These three houses look shabby and dilapidated.

"You don't live here, do you?" Li Cheng asked.

"I lived here in the early years, but I moved out almost ten years ago." The man said, looking at the house in front of him.

Seeing that the yard was in a mess, Li Cheng had no intention of going over to see what was going on.

"Why don't you think about fixing it? It would be nice to rent it out after it's fixed!"

After hearing what Li Cheng said, the man looked as if he had something to hide.

Seeing him like this, Li Cheng asked, "Why, this house is not yours?"

The man quickly shook his head, then nodded, leaving Li Cheng confused as to what he meant.

Li Cheng glanced at Weng Xiaozhu and said, "Let's go!"

The man got anxious and said quickly, "This house is indeed mine, but there are some minor problems with it, so... you won't go back on your word, right?"

Li Cheng looked at his pitiful appearance and thought that he must have encountered a difficult situation. So, Li Cheng said to him, "Then solve this little problem and come back to me. Oh, this is my phone number."

As he spoke, Li Cheng gave the man a business card.

The man quickly took the business card and said, "One hundred thousand?"

Li Cheng was stunned for a moment, then he understood what he meant.

"Yes, one hundred thousand."

The man felt relieved and quickly sent Li Cheng and the other two out.

On the way back, Weng Xiaozhu asked, "You're willing to pay 100,000 yuan for a house like that! You're truly wealthy!"

Li Cheng said as he drove: "I just can't stand seeing others begging me. After all, I'm still soft-hearted!"

Weng Xiaozhu rolled her eyes at him and said, "I also want you to be soft-hearted for once. Why don't you have some pity on me?"

Li Cheng turned his head to look at her, his eyes revealing something indescribable.

Weng Xiaozhu felt uncomfortable being stared at, so she pointed outside and said, "Stop staring at me and drive carefully."

Li Cheng turned his head and said slowly, "I also want to pity all the people in the world who deserve pity. I must have the strength to do so!"

Upon hearing this, Weng Xiaozhu said unhappily, "Poor me, I don't need any strength, as long as you..."

Before he could finish, Li Cheng stopped her and said, "Look, the clothes that person is wearing are the same as yours."

Weng Xiaozhu knew he was talking nonsense. The dress she was wearing was custom-made at a clothing store, so how could she be wearing the same clothes as someone else?

Weng Xiaozhu didn't even look over there, she just turned her head and looked out the window without saying a word.
