888 couldn't help but start complaining.

Gu Qingning snorted coldly: "When I said I would give the life-saving medicine to the old lady, you didn't say that. You said that saving her life is not worth it and there will be no benefit. It is better to keep this thing to save my life!"

888 scratched his head feeling a little guilty.

It continued to mutter, "That's one thing at a time! If you get the property, but don't have the medicine to save your life when you need it, then what good will all the money do you have?"

However, it was quite happy to make so much money all of a sudden, and felt as if its whole body was full of strength.

"Your wealth has increased exponentially, and I feel like my upgrades have also gotten much faster. If you give me a little more time, I might be able to help you upgrade your Xiuxian plane ahead of time!"

Opening this plane is the most difficult, and upgrading it is also the most difficult, but the effect obtained is also the most significant.

This means that in the future they can use very low-level props to transform them into higher-level props through the alchemy furnace.

It's a lucrative business.

"Oh, right. I took a quick look and saw that all these property deeds belong to courtyard houses of varying sizes, scattered across several locations. I'm really curious how the old lady and her family came to own so many properties."

In this era, except for a small number of people, everyone else would be criticized even if they had a big house.

Once investigated, all the extra houses must be vacated and allowed to move in.

This is why many courtyard houses eventually became slums.

Even if Gu Qingning wanted to buy a house owned by one person alone, it would not be so easy unless the owner of the house had a special background.

It is really rare to find someone like Mrs. Bai and Mr. Bai who legally own so many properties.

888 said he was not very clear about it either.

Lu Changqing said: "Grandma just explained this to me. These houses are the property of their ancestors. They confiscated all other property. These houses were left to them as special care."

Moreover, in this era, these houses are the least valuable of all the properties they donated.

"My grandmother had been to the battlefield before, and my grandfather's brothers all died on the battlefield, so all the properties of my grandfather and my maternal grandfather were inherited by them. After all, the family is full of loyal and brave people, and there is no one else besides them.

They started a family together and felt that they should contribute to the country, so they donated all their antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver jewelry to the country. These properties were specially preserved.

Plus, my grandparents made significant contributions to the country, so these properties have remained in their hands.”

Gu Qingning suddenly realized.

She smiled mysteriously and said, "Grandma and Grandpa are really kind-hearted. They have accumulated merit for me. At that time, these properties were worth nothing, but later on, they were worth hundreds of millions."

Later on, even if those cultural relics were worth a fortune, they could no longer be circulated on the market.

However, these properties may be the most valuable among these cultural relics.

Moreover, they can be circulated legally.

Lu Changqing was slightly surprised: "Can it be worth so much money?"

Gu Qingning smiled and said, "I said it was too little. Take the house my grandparents live in now. It has a courtyard with six entrances and six exits. It's huge to begin with, and the location is particularly good. It's also so well preserved. It's obviously worth preserving as an ancient building. It will be worth at least 400 to 500 million in the future! Not to mention the other small properties."

That is, Lu Changqing was slightly surprised when he heard what he said, but he still believed him.

If it were someone else, you would definitely think she was dreaming.

"Then let's go and see it together tomorrow!"

The next day, Gu Qingning took the property deeds and went to each house according to the address.

These properties are all very well preserved, each with its own style, some elegant, some quaint, and some magnificent.

Gu Qingning's mind was rapidly evaluating the situation, and her heart was about to explode.

"These houses haven't been lived in for a long time and they all need repairs. We should hire a good bricklayer and ask grandma if they know any. Also, we have to go take a look at this last property!"

She followed the instructions on the map and came to the last one.

Before they even entered the door, they could already smell the aroma of stewing meat.

"Is there anyone living here? Did grandma ever tell you if they have any relatives living here?"

Gu Qingning felt extremely strange.

Lu Changqing also narrowed his eyes slightly: "Grandma told me that these properties are empty. Except for a few housekeepers coming to take care of them occasionally, there is basically no one coming in on weekdays!"

Unexpectedly, someone took advantage of this opportunity and came to take over the position.

Gu Qingning immediately became interested and pulled Lu Changqing to hide aside.

Seeing that the courtyard wall here was not very high, the two men simply climbed over it and looked down at the people below.

After a quick look, I saw that there were two families living in the yard, plus an old lady with bound feet.

In the middle of the yard, a woman was cursing loudly.

"You bastard, didn't I tell you? Our yard is divided into two parts. Whoever crosses the line is a cuckold! You're throwing dirty water on me again today, why don't you throw it on your mother? Damn bitch!"

The woman opposite with a fierce look on her face threw the basin of water she had just poured on the ground when she heard this.

She retorted, "Fuck you! I'm just farting, can't that be considered as crossing the line? And you're spewing shit all over my face, am I supposed to put up with you?"

As the two women were talking, they started fighting.

The two men next to them also hated each other and disliked each other.

"Stop making trouble, stop making trouble, you won't be able to have peace for a day!"

The old lady who had been sitting in the middle couldn't help but speak.

Before he finished speaking, the woman on the left sneered.

"Mom, if you don't want us to make a fuss, then just give us more money! Back then, you at least hooked up with a rich man and became his mistress. After all these years, how come you don't even have a penny to pay? And you still have to eat your son's food and drink your grandson's!"

The woman on the right also laughed: "Look, Mom, didn't you say your eldest son loves you the most? His wife scolded you like that, and you didn't say a word?"

The two sides argued more and more fiercely, and it seemed that they were about to fight.

Gu Qingning suddenly jumped down from the top of the wall.

The group of people froze in place.

"Who are you? Little hoof, why are you running into our house?"
