Chapter 54: Laughing or crying
"Brother, we were just impulsive. We know we were wrong, so don't call the police." A young man begged for mercy when he heard about calling the police.
In reality, they had no idea what Zhang Xiangling had done. They were good friends with Wu Dafei and often engaged in group fights. This time, when Wu Dafei called out, they didn't ask why and simply rode over.
They had originally thought that they would just beat up a few outsiders, but they didn't expect them to be even more aggressive than them, and that even the beautiful girl was ruthless in her fights.
"Do you think we are easy to bully? You can come and go as you please?" Gu Jianguo took the cigarette handed to him by Han Deyi and lit it, looking as if he would not give up with them.
"Then what do you want to do?" Wu Dafei asked.
Han Deyi bit his cigarette and snorted, "You young and strong people, instead of working hard, do such violent things. Do your parents know? Do your leaders know? It would be great if you could use all this energy on your work."
Han Deyi lectured them, then exchanged glances with Gu Jianguo and said, "We'll let you go this time, but if it happens again, we won't show mercy."
Several people thanked him repeatedly and were about to leave. At this time, a tall and thin young man among them said, "Can I try the tuxedo? I want to buy it."
This is also a big heart.
"Okay, you try it first." Gu Jianguo took out a shirt of his own size and handed it to the young man. The young man put it on and looked at himself in the mirror. He felt that he instantly became much more handsome. If he didn't have those scars on his face, he would probably be even more handsome.
"How much?" he asked.
Gu Jianguo: “55”
The young man hesitated for a moment, then grinned, "Brother, we're not acquainted until we fight. Can you give me a discount?"
Gu Jianguo chuckled, "What do you think?"
"Okay, I understand." He took out six Great Unity banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Gu Jianguo.
Gu Jianguo took it and gave him five yuan in change, then looked at the others and asked, "Do you want any?"
Those people were also a little eager to try it out. Seeing this, Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui immediately found the sizes they wore and asked them to try it on. In the end, each of them bought a jacket and left.
Looking at the limping backs of several people, Gu Jianguo and the others never expected such an outcome. They were really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
You can't be too extreme in doing things. If you call the police and a few people are punished, what if you lose your job? They are all young people, and they are full of youthful energy, so they might cause trouble again.
Now this result is pretty good.
There was chaos and things in the room were in a mess. Several people cleaned up together and prepared to rest.
Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui went upstairs to wash up and then go to bed. The 1.5-meter bed was really crowded with three people. Gu Yimin decided to talk to Gu Jianguo about finding an apartment tomorrow.
The next day, they started working after dinner and didn't relax until noon. While Tian Huiying and Gu Erhui went upstairs to cook, Gu Yimin talked to Gu Jianguo about renting a house.
Gu Jianguo also felt that it was inconvenient for them to be crowded in this place, so he went out to look for houses after lunch. Since the store was here, he wanted to find a house in this area.
This place is not far from the city center, and the municipal government and various state units are nearby, so there are many family housing estates in this area.
These family housing estates were built by work units and allocated to employees. They're definitely not being sold or rented out. You can only look further afield.
After taking the bus for two stops, he saw many old houses, similar to small courtyards in the countryside. He got off the bus and walked into the alley, where he saw several families moving things.
At the door of a house, two men were moving a cabinet onto a tricycle. The cabinet was probably very heavy and the two men were struggling. Gu Jianguo quickly took two steps forward to help.
The three of them worked together and the cabinet was loaded into the tricycle. The two men thanked him, but Gu Jianguo waved his hand and said no, then asked, "Where are you moving this to?"
"The company has allocated housing, and we're moving into a new house. Who are you?"
Gu Jianguo took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him, "I want to see the house."
The man took the cigarette, and Gu Jianguo handed him a box of matches. The man lit the cigarette and said, "Buy or rent?"
"It depends on the situation." Gu Jianguo looked at his yard. It was not big, about two or three hundred square meters.
The man immediately understood what he meant. If you have enough money, buy it. Otherwise, rent it. Glancing at Gu Jianguo's brand new Mao suit, he said, "You've finally found a place. Our unit has received a batch of housing, and there are quite a few old houses vacant. If you want to rent, I can rent you two rooms in this yard."
Gu Jianguo looked at his courtyard again and felt that renting two rooms was still not enough. It would be even more stressful if his wife, Sanjing and Xiaosi all came over.
"How much would it cost to buy a yard as big as yours?"
The man looked him over again and asked, "Do you want to buy it?"
Gu Jianguo smiled and said, "Let's take a look first."
The man took another drag on his cigarette. "For a yard as big as mine, it would cost at least 4,000 yuan if you wanted to buy it."
Gu Jianguo's eyes widened, and he looked shocked. "So expensive?"
"It's not expensive," the man said, looking at Gu Jianguo's expression. "Just like this yard of ours, there are nine houses in total, which can accommodate a large family. And the location is good. The city government is three stops away, and the hospital, school, and supply and marketing cooperative are all very close."
"Are you selling this yard?" Gu Jianguo asked.
"I have to go home and discuss this."
Gu Jianguo thought for a moment and said, "Then you guys discuss it. I'll look for other places and come back tomorrow."
The man hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, take a look. The price I mentioned is not high."
Gu Jianguo nodded, handed him a cigarette and walked into the alley. The man looked at his back for a while before entering the yard.
He walked around two alleys and got a general idea of the situation.
There's a machinery factory not far from here, and many people here work there. A few days ago, a new batch of housing for the factory's employees was allocated, so many people are moving in.
However, most families will not sell their yards because not every employee will receive housing, and some people have to wait for the next batch.
However, he did find two families who wanted to sell their properties. One family had a yard of about 300 to 400 square meters and about ten rooms, and the asking price was also 4,000.
There is another one with a larger yard, estimated to be around 500 square meters, with about 20 rooms, and the asking price is 5000. However, this yard is quite old, and the owner is sloppy, and the whole yard looks messy.
Thinking about which house to buy, he took the bus back to the store.
After dinner, he told Han Deyi about his intention to buy a house, and Han Deyi was also somewhat tempted. After they sold these batches of goods, the money they had in hand was enough to buy a house.
