Chapter 574: Plan to Buy Back the Old House
Shang Lifeng also discovered that his daughter was very opinionated and he was afraid that she would not listen to his opinions, so he simply did not continue to speak.
Shang Ruoting hurried to Uncle Li and asked him to help find out the selling price of the Li family's old house.
Uncle Li promised Shang Ruoting that he would find time in the afternoon to inquire about it and inform her as soon as he got the news.
During lunch, Shang Ruoting and Shang Lifeng, father and daughter, tacitly did not mention to Old Lady Shang the conversation they had just had in the kitchen.
After all, it's not something that has been decided yet, and speaking out about it will only add to the old man's worries.
After school, Shang Ruoting went to Uncle Li's house first.
Uncle Li has already found out about the sale of the Li family's old house.
The yard was priced at 32,000 yuan. The owner meant that there was no rush to sell the yard and that it had stable tenants bringing in income, so the price was non-negotiable.
Shang Ruoting got the information she wanted, thanked Uncle Li and left.
As soon as I walked outside the wall of my house, I smelled an irresistible aroma of food.
She knew that Buddha Jumps Over the Wall must be ready.
When I pushed open the gate, I saw Shang Lifeng talking excitedly to the old lady monk.
"Mom, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is a great success. Ruoting and Tan Chen will definitely like it when they come back."
Old Madam Shang nodded and said, "Well, this tastes exactly like what your grandfather used to make. It seems that your cooking skills have reached perfection."
As the two were talking, they saw Shang Ruoting coming back.
Shang Lifeng quickly said, "Tingting, you're back just in time. Buddha Jumps Over the Wall has just been discontinued. Come and try it."
Shang Ruoting didn't hesitate. She had swallowed several times since she smelled this smell outside the courtyard wall.
After tasting it, Shang Ruoting was simply stunned. She could say that in her entire life, this was the most delicious dish she had ever eaten.
As soon as Mrs. Shang saw her granddaughter's expression, she knew that she loved eating it.
"Tingting, before it gets dark, give some to the Tan family to try."
Shang Ruoting also had this plan. After all, if she didn't give some authentic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall to her elders to try, she wouldn't feel at ease eating it.
"Okay, I'll find a lunch box and pack it up, and we'll send it over when Tan Chen comes back."
After saying that, Shang Ruoting took out a rectangular aluminum lunch box from the cabinet.
Old Mrs. Shang snatched it away.
"This lunch box is too small. Let's change to a small aluminum basin!"
After saying that, Mrs. Shang took a clean aluminum basin from the shelf nearby and filled it with Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
Shang Ruoting watched as the delicious food in the stone pot was gone in an instant.
"My grandma is still generous."
It's not that she is stingy, it's that she didn't think so much.
Old Madam Shang scolded, "Those are Tan Chen's parents and grandfather, and they are also your family. Don't be stingy with your family."
As the grandfather and grandson were talking, Tan Chen strode into the kitchen.
He, too, was attracted by the fragrance as soon as he reached the door.
Shang Lifeng quickly served a small bowl to his son-in-law for him to taste.
Tan Chen was full of praise.
"Dad, this is the best dish I've ever eaten."
At the same time, I was thinking: No wonder grandma and father-in-law treasure this book "Li's Imperial Cuisine" so much, the taste of this dish is really amazing.
Shang Ruoting looked at the sky and saw that it was almost dark. She urged, "Send the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall to Grandpa and the others first!"
Tan Chen nodded: "Okay, I'll go right away, you guys can have dinner first, no need to wait for me."
After seeing Tan Chen off, Old Lady Shang left a lot of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for Tan Chen in the stone pot before preparing to eat.
With the addition of this dish, the family naturally had a very satisfying dinner, and even Sanbao and Sibao each had a taste.
Tan Chen brought Buddha Jumps Over the Wall to the compound. Seeing how delicious it was, Old Man Tan insisted on pulling him to have dinner with him.
When I returned to the courtyard, Mr.
The wife and others had already gone to bed, only the light in Shang Ruoting's room was still on. She was waiting for Tan Chen.
Shang Ruoting planned to discuss with him about purchasing the Li family compound, so she pulled him into the space.
Before Shang Ruoting could get to the point, Tan Chen dragged her to take a hot spring bath.
Shang Ruoting was speechless for a moment. This man really didn't miss any opportunity to take advantage of her...
Tan Chen was already thinking about his wife, and when he saw her delicate and tender body, he lost all self-control.
After finishing, he helped his wife, who had become as soft as mud, to wash herself clean, and then he held her in his arms and let her lie comfortably on the comfortable big bed.
Shang Ruoting was so tired that she could hardly open her eyes, but she still had to talk about the important matters.
"My cousin came home today and said the Li family's old house is for sale."
"Whether it's for grandma or our model room, we should buy that yard." Tan Chen's first thought was that he had to buy that yard no matter what.
Shang Ruoting understood Tan Chen's attitude before she told him her plan.
"My dad said he wanted to buy the yard to make up for what he owed grandma over the years."
When talking to Tan Chen, Shang Lifeng still had to be addressed as such, so Shang Ruoting could only awkwardly say "my dad"...
Tan Chen could understand this. He could see that Shang Lifeng was not the kind of irresponsible man.
"But, based on my understanding of him, he shouldn't be able to come up with that much money, right?"
Shang Ruoting laughed: "Not only can he not come up with that much money, he can be said to be penniless at the moment."
I have to say that Tan Chen really understands his wife's thoughts.
Since his wife has this plan, all he has to do is support her.
"In that case, we can lend him the money. You don't have to worry about running out of money. Today, Li Xiang contacted two more courtyard house renovation businesses. I plan to finish them before the twelfth lunar month. By then, we will have money in hand again."
Shang Ruoting knew that Tan Chen would unconditionally support her decision. Even so, she was deeply moved.
Not to mention this era, even in the future, it would be difficult to meet such a considerate man.
She unconsciously put her arms around Tan Chen's neck and kissed him on the face.
"Thank you, husband."
Tan Chen's heart was melted by the soft call of "husband".
"Wife, you seduced me..." The voice was unclear, but it carried a kind of temptation unique to men.
Shang Ruoting...
She is definitely playing with fire.
The next morning, Shang Ruoting told Shang Lifeng her decision.
"My cousin already found out the price of the yard yesterday, and Tan Chen and I have also discussed it. If you want to buy the Li family's old house, I will lend you the money. If you don't want to buy it, Tan Chen and I will buy it."
When Shang Lifeng heard the price of 32,000, he thought it was similar to what his daughter had analyzed yesterday.
He rubbed his hands awkwardly, "Tingting, the price of the old house is so high, I'm sure it won't find a buyer soon. Why don't we wait a little longer?"
Shang Lifeng had his own plans. He had heard that his father-in-law had come forward to resolve Liu Dingbing's issue.
Once Liu Dingbing's problem is completely resolved, he plans to go to Gangcheng to work as a chef for a few years. If all goes well, he will ask his daughter for a loan of money. This way, he will have hope of repaying the money.
On the contrary, if Liu Dingbing's problem cannot be resolved for a long time, he still has to be cautious and it is impossible for him to show up in Hong Kong. If he stays in the mainland, he may not be able to earn 32,000 to buy a house in his lifetime.
If that was the case, he couldn't borrow money from his daughter no matter what, as there was no hope of paying it back.
Shang Ruoting also considered this when she learned about the sale of the Li family's old house. After all, the price of 32,000 was indeed a bit high, and it would be difficult to find a buyer for such an expensive house.
If I observe it again, it would be great if the other party's price can be lowered. Of course, Shang Ruoting also prepared for the worst.
She was determined to buy the yard for her grandmother no matter what.
