It was another foggy morning, and Yu Yin felt a little out of sorts!
It feels uncomfortable, I can't see anything, the visibility is too low.
The children were still sleeping. Ever since the last time all four children caught a cold, Yu Yin had found an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor to take the pulses of everyone in the family and prescribe tonics to strengthen their constitution.
Yu Yin had accumulated a lot of medicinal herbs when she was in Yunnan Province. She consulted an old Chinese medicine doctor who felt that Yu Yin's herbs had better medicinal properties. When preparing medicine, he used Yu Yin's herbs and only used his own herbs when they were unavailable.
Furthermore, she purchased a batch of Chinese medicinal herbs from her, earning Yu Yin more than three thousand yuan, including several precious herbs.
This is an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor that my grandfather knew. He escaped a disaster and has been doing business with acquaintances ever since, and has never stopped seeing patients over the years.
Yu Yin had a lot of medicinal herbs, and she kept the good ones for her own use. Since her space was constantly producing more, she didn't feel bad about selling them.
Others get the medicine and are cured, while Yu Yin gets the money. It's a win-win situation, so why not?
For some time now, the air above Yu Yin's yard has been filled with the smell of traditional Chinese medicine.
So when my third uncle and the others came over, they thought something had happened, that the two elderly people were sick? After learning the truth, they felt a little embarrassed, as their children hadn't even thought of that.
Grandpa and Grandma don't care. They're happy living with their grandson's family, so they're content. They're blessed in their old age. As for whether their children are filial or not, they never force them. Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have lived alone for so many years.
As for their own houses and property, those are theirs to decide how to distribute. They raised their children, helped them get married, and settling them down; they have fulfilled all their responsibilities.
They have their own pensions and don't need their children to support them in their old age; no one should covet their things.
As for living with Shurui and the others now, it's because they get along well and are all comfortable living together, so they enjoy this family bliss!
Grandpa and Grandma are very open-minded and optimistic!
A few days before the Lunar New Year, my brother-in-law's friend, Peng, brought me news that there were several good properties available.
Yu Yin was surprised that the surprise came so quickly; she thought there was no hope before the end of the year.
The next day, leaving the children at home, Yu Yin and Lu Shurui went with Brother Peng to look at houses.
Peng first introduced the basic information about several houses.
One is a storefront, near the department store, in a good location, over 30 square meters, priced at 3,000 yuan.
There is also an old two-story building without a yard. The street-facing side has been converted into a shop, with an area of over 100 square meters. It is located not far from where Yu Yin and the others live, facing the street in the front and surrounded by residential areas in the back.
There is also a staff dormitory, with two bedrooms and a living room.
Yu Yin wasn't interested in the staff housing; there wasn't enough room. She planned to buy a few more apartments when commercial housing became available, thinking it wouldn't be bad to be a landlady.
The buildings facing the street are close together, let's go see that one first.
As Yu Yin and her companions walked along, the street was quite lively, with a supply and marketing cooperative, a post office, a bank, and so on.
The house is truly old, with red brick walls, a pointed roof, and blackened wooden window frames, bearing the marks of time.
Pushing open the door, the interior was quite spacious, but the partitions were a bit uncomfortable.
A staircase on one side leads directly to the second floor, which is about the same size as the first floor, but with a pointed ceiling, giving it an attic feel.
The house is really old, but the main structure is very sturdy and the materials used are solid.
It faces the street in front, and its back wall is right next to another building, less than half a meter apart.
After Yu Yin and Lu Shurui saw it, they thought it was pretty good, especially Yu Yin, who really liked it. It was equivalent to three storefronts, plus a second floor.
After the three of them finished looking at the house, it was almost noon. Lu Shurui suggested they go to a state-run restaurant for lunch and talk while they ate.
We found a private room, ordered some good dishes, sat down, drank some tea, and chatted about houses.
"Brother Peng, what's the deal with that two-story building?"
"The second floor and the storefront in the back are all owned by the same person. He was previously sent to the countryside but was only recently exonerated. He was a former red capitalist, and he has returned quite a few properties."
Brother Peng knows him well; he was once a very famous figure. If he hadn't been framed by a villain, he would never have been demoted.
Sure enough, the situation changed, and he was released and most of his assets were returned, while those who had framed him were all imprisoned.
Good and evil will eventually be rewarded; it's not that they won't be, it's just that their time hasn't come yet!
They're consolidating their assets; they plan to liquidate these small, old properties and convert them into cash.
Although the property was returned, many things had been ruined.
"How much does the house cost?"
Yu Yin knew there was no problem with the property; the only other thing to consider was the price.
"The price for the storefront can't be lower than 2,700, and the price for the second floor can't be lower than 13,000." Because he knew the owner, Brother Peng gave him the bottom price.
Yu Yin did the math; the store's location was there, and the price wasn't too high.
Although the two-story building faces the street, it is not on the main street but in a residential area, which is why the price is cheaper.
With a total of 20,000 yuan, Yu Yin felt it was enough to buy it, and she would leave the rest of her money untouched.
Perfect timing, the food is ready. Let's eat first, and then we'll talk.
After discussing it, Yu Yin and her friend decided to buy it. It was a rare opportunity, as the educated youth were about to return, and housing would become even more scarce and difficult to find.
They agreed to complete the transfer of ownership and other formalities the next morning. Lu Shurui thanked Peng Ge again, and the two of them went to his second sister's house instead of going home.
"Why are you two so free? You have time to come see us?"
"Something came up, otherwise we really wouldn't have been able to get out. There are a lot of kids, and a lot of things to do." Yu Yin reached out and took Cheng Laosan from her second sister's arms. This kid has gotten fatter again.
