Chapter 248 Buying a Siheyuan
After hearing this, the homeowner led the way directly. The basement was located in the room at the farthest end of the east side of the main house.
Lin Yuzhu had just come in to take a look. It was just an empty room, with nothing in it except a tall wardrobe. The wardrobe didn't look like it was made of good materials, but it was very large and heavy, so it had to be dismantled if it was to be taken out of the room. It was probably because of this that it escaped the disaster and was not sold.
The homeowner came in and opened the wardrobe. Then he pressed some button and the back of the wardrobe opened like a door, revealing the wall inside.
Then the homeowner pressed another button, and the wall suddenly moved. Somehow it opened up a distance two people wide, revealing a staircase leading downwards.
Lin Yuzhu was surprised when she saw it. She didn't expect that there was a mechanism in the wall. Who could have thought of this? It seemed that the owner's family must have been very powerful in the past.
This wardrobe should be a decoy, and it won’t affect anything even if it is moved away.
Lin Yuzhu sighed in his heart, as expected, the wisdom of the ancients was really amazing!
They were thinking too far ahead. After opening the wall, the owner turned on the flashlight and led them inside. The stairs were not long, and the space below was about the size of two rooms.
It's spacious inside, but not stuffy.
Then the owner of the house explained: "When this place was built, there were exhaust holes so people can live here. But don't worry, the craftsmen took special care of it so rats won't get in."
Lin Yuzhu nodded. This place is indeed nice and the location is very secluded. If she buys any valuables in the future, she will have a place to hide them. When the owner moves abroad, no one will probably know about this place. It will definitely be safe.
The homeowner also said, "This is the escape route left by our ancestors. We used to have many houses, but they were all donated a few years ago, leaving only this small house.
Fortunately, I secretly hid some food here in advance, so that my family can survive. Don't worry, even my son doesn't know about this place. I probably won't come back after I go abroad. From now on, only you will know about this place."
Lin Yuzhu didn't quite believe that he had only hidden food. After all, such a big family would have three burrows. Just like he said, they must have left some escape routes, but he didn't investigate further.
But after hearing the rest, she was satisfied. It was great. It was just as she expected.
After they came out, the homeowner saw that they looked even more excited and knew that it was almost done.
Lin Yuzhu was indeed more tempted. In addition, the courtyard house was indeed very large and the owner was not worried about selling it, so she did not lower the price any further. "Okay, then we'll buy it."
The homeowner finally smiled and said, "Okay, I'm in a hurry to leave, so let's transfer the ownership as soon as possible."
Lin Yuzhu thought so too. She didn't want to wait any longer and have more troubles. Zhao Yanshu's matter was almost over. She had to find an opportunity to spend the money before others reacted.
So the two of them hit it off and went straight to handle the formalities.
Although it is a holiday today, there are still people on duty at the Housing Authority. The colleague on duty also knows Lin Yuzhu and was surprised to see this accident after she came over.
When he heard that she was going to buy a house and spent tens of thousands to buy a courtyard house, he widened his eyes in surprise, but he didn't feel comfortable asking more questions. Instead, he helped her to get it done quickly.
After getting the property certificate, Lin Yuzhu did not delay and immediately gave the homeowner the US$10,000 she had just withdrawn from the bank.
The homeowner was very happy after receiving the money. He waved his hand and left, saying that he didn't want anything in the house anymore and they could move in at any time.
