At this time, inside the Li family in Jing City, Li Jianmin looked at his brother-in-law Su Xiangyang, "Brother-in-law, is there anything?"

Su Xiangyang nodded, "Yes, but there are no small ones. The small ones were all bought before you came back. Now there are only two large ones left."

"I'm done! Aren't houses in Beijing the only ones that can be bought and sold freely? How come it's so fast?"

Li Jianmin was shocked. "Also, what about the big one you mentioned? How big is it?"

Su Xiangyang picked up the teacup and gently blew on the tea leaves floating on the surface. He took a sip and chuckled, "A quadrangle with three entrances, and a quadrangle with four entrances. It is said that they were the homes of some royal nobles in the past."

"Anyway, the price is not cheap, and many people gave up after asking about the price..."

"Does your wife's brother-in-law really want it? This house is really not cheap. A three-story apartment costs 66,000..."

Li Jianmin was surprised, "Sixty-six thousand?"

Su Xiangyang nodded. "Yes, it's 66,000. You heard it right. And do you know how much the other one is?"

"How much?"

"One hundred thousand!"

“·····”

Li Jianmin thought to himself that this was really not cheap. According to the current wage standard for workers in Beijing, the highest wage was only over 80, and that was only for a minority. Most of them were around 40 or 50.

For example, his father is the mayor and only earns more than 200 yuan a month, and his mother is the deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance and only earns more than 100 yuan. The two of them earn a total of 400 yuan a month. Even if they don’t eat or drink, they will have to work for many years to be able to afford a courtyard house worth more than 60,000 yuan...

Seeing that Li Jianmin was silent, Su Xiangyang smiled and continued, "Why don't you tell your wife's brother-in-law first? I'll help keep an eye out and keep the one I find suitable for you first?"

Li Jianmin shook his head. "Brother-in-law, please keep these two courtyard houses for me first. I'll call their transportation team tomorrow morning and see what they say."

Su Xiangyang put down his teacup and stood up. "Okay, go ahead and ask. I'll have someone keep the title deeds for you first. But you have to act quickly. There have been a lot of inquiries about these two courtyard houses recently."

"Brother-in-law, thank you."

"Hey, why are you thanking me for what? If your sister knew I was just helping you keep an eye out for the courtyard houses in Beijing, wouldn't she be mad at me?"

"Okay, I'm going back. Your sister is working overtime today and should be almost done by now. I have to pick her up."

As he spoke, Su Xiangyang picked up the coat on the sofa and put it on.

Li Jianmin also stood up and said, "Brother-in-law, I'll take you there..."

Su Xiangyang waved his hand, "No, it's not like I don't know the way. You and your sister-in-law finally got two days of rest. Go and spend some time with Huaiyu and Huaibo. They've been missing you two lately."

After saying that, he strode to the kitchen and called out to Li's mother who was doing something in the kitchen, "Mom, it's getting late. I'll go home first."

Upon hearing this, Mother Li quickly turned around and looked at Su Xiangyang, "Wait, I made some Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup. Take it back for Zhenzhen and the three children."

After seeing Su Xiangyang off, Li's mother brought out a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup and handed it to Li Jianmin. "Bring it to Xiuli. I've noticed she's lost a lot of weight recently..."

Li Jianmin took it and said, "Mom, please make some soup for me. I..."

Before he could finish his words, Mother Li smiled and patted his shoulder. "What are you talking about? I'm willing to be good to you. There's no such thing as trouble or no trouble."

"Send it up quickly, it's getting late, finish your drink and get some rest..."

Li Jianmin nodded, "Okay."

He turned around and walked a few steps, then thought for a moment and turned back to look at Li's mother. "By the way, why hasn't my father come back yet? It's already late."

Mother Li smiled and said, "Your father is attending an important meeting. This meeting is closed, so he won't be back for the next few days."

"oh···"

The next morning, Li Jianmin estimated Chu Tian's usual working hours and called him.

"Brother-in-law, did you hear that? There are only two courtyard houses left. One with three courtyards costs 66,000 yuan, and the other with four courtyards costs 100,000 yuan."

“The location is excellent, right next to the Forbidden City. You can literally see the Forbidden City from the rooftop…”

"Yes, I want both sets!"

Chu Tian's eyes lit up, thinking that since he could see the Forbidden City, he must take it. Moreover, 660,000 and 100,000 may sound like a lot of numbers now, but after a few decades, it will increase to hundreds of millions...

Just when Li Jianmin wanted to persuade him and said that he would ask his brother-in-law to help keep an eye on other houses, he suddenly heard Chu Tian say that he wanted it, and he was so shocked that he choked on his saliva.

“Ahem…”

"Brother-in-law, what are you talking about? You want both sets? Are you kidding me?"

Hearing Li Jianmin's surprised voice on the other end of the phone, Chu Tian chuckled and said calmly, "You heard right, I want both."

"Please talk to the landlord for me and see if I can get a lower price."

“····”

Li Jianmin took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll ask my brother-in-law to make an appointment with the landlord today to see if he can lower the price. Anyway, the cheaper the better..."

"Jianmin, please tell me the price once you agree on it, and I'll go to the city and wire the money to you."

"good."

The price finally agreed upon was that the minimum price for a courtyard house with three courtyards was 58,000 yuan, and the minimum price for a courtyard house with four courtyards was 88,000 yuan, and they were required to pay it in one lump sum within one month. Li Jianmin immediately called Chu Tian again, but he had already left the transport team, so he called the company again.

"Brother-in-law, this is it. The owner is in a hurry to sell the house, so he offered the lowest price, but asked for payment within a month."
