Mr. Zhou is very familiar with the street and alleys opposite the school.
His stubborn old friend, Old Man Gu, bought a house from a eunuch of the previous dynasty.
In order to protect his treasured collection of cultural relics at all costs, he refused to admit defeat and ended up dying in the countryside, which is really sad.
Precisely because of his familiarity, Mr. Zhou knew the approximate prices of the houses in those alleys.
Not to mention that there are very few houses for sale nowadays. Even if there are, there are tenants who are unwilling to move out and cause various troubles. Old Master Zhou doesn't believe that his grandson bought a house at all.
As a result, when we entered Bingjiao Hutong, the further we walked, the more familiar the feeling became.
He waited until Zhou Yanfeng led him to the place where old ginkgo branches stretched out from the courtyard wall, then went around to the front gate and stood at the door of the house. Old man Zhou burst into tears.
"How about it? Old man, are you still waiting to see me make a fool of myself?"
Zhou Yanfeng had expected that he would lose his composure like this.
Because ever since Professor Gu went to the countryside, the old man has been thinking about him.
His old man doesn't know yet that the money and supplies he sent to Professor Gu over the years have been lost.
You know, I'm afraid I'll cry my heart out.
Fortunately, he has found a way to find the place where Professor Gu originally went to the countryside, and asked people to help investigate, and the truth will soon come to light.
Seeing tears in the old man's eyes, Zhou Yanfeng felt that the stubborn old man beside him was actually a bit pitiful.
Thinking about what he had done, which almost caused the loss of the wife he had found with great difficulty, Zhou Yanfeng hardened his heart again.
He said sarcastically, "You were waiting for me to conjure up a house for you. Now I have conjured one for you, right?"
When he was led to the gate of the house, Mr. Zhou no longer cared about Zhou Yanfeng. He now just felt that his grandson was filial.
Even the fact that Zhou Yanfeng didn't visit him when he was in the hospital was not a concern of Mr. Zhou.
He said in a trembling voice: "You rented this house for me, and Grandpa appreciates your kindness."
When has my old man ever said anything about surrendering?
By doing this, he couldn't deal with Zhou Yanfeng.
But Zhou Yanfeng was still angry with him and didn't want him to go down the ladder.
Zhou Yanfeng angrily asked him: "Old man, who said that this house was rented for you?"
"What are you thinking about!"
Zhou Yanfeng corrected him: "I've already said that this house was bought, bought."
"Brother Ting and I, Lingling's brother, and another good brother Shen Junqian, pooled our money together to buy it."
Zhou Yanfeng led Mr. Zhou into the house.
The further he went in, the more heartbroken Mr. Zhou became when he heard about the process of buying the house.
He was so angry that his chest ached. "If you said you wanted to buy your grandfather Gu's house, I would give you all the savings in my family. You said you wanted to buy the house without telling me. Why did you pool money with others to live together?"
Zhou Yanfeng didn't like what he heard.
What's wrong with pooling money to live together?
They are all his brothers, and Tang Yuanyang is his second uncle.
Others could not tell that the house was set up with mechanical devices and formations, but Mr. Zhou was an expert. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw the various arrangements of rockery, flowing water and stone piers, and he walked around to study them.
Zhou Yanfeng reminded him: "On moonlit nights, there will be ghosts."
"Oh, so it's a formation combined with the moonlight, I knew it!"
Mr. Zhou's eyes lit up, and he excitedly discussed with Zhou Yanfeng: "There is still moonlight tonight, let me stay here for one night, I want to do some research."
Originally the purpose was to trick the old man into dismantling the formation, so how could Zhou Yanfeng refuse?
However, he still couldn't understand why his grandfather came to Kyoto to teach in the History Department. It was obvious that he was here to trick people into breaking up the formation, but he turned the tables and threatened Mr. Zhou.
"You can stay here for one night to study the formation, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."
Not to mention one condition, Mr. Zhou would agree to ten conditions.
"What conditions?"
Zhou Yanfeng made his request: "You are not allowed to cause trouble to Lingling."
"Don't think that you can break up Lingling and I just because you teach at the school. I'm telling you, I wasn't just speaking in anger that day. I was telling the truth."
"If you dare to do anything to Lingling, I will never go back to the Zhou family. Anyway, I have my own house now, and Lingling and I will live outside."
Mr. Zhou felt that he was not feeling well again.
I'm angry again.
You keep threatening him, look what you are saying?
For the sake of a woman, not only did he not acknowledge him as his grandfather, he also refused to return to the Zhou family.
Does this mean drawing a line between you and your family and not having any contact with them?
Originally, Mr. Zhou wanted to tell him that he no longer cared about him getting a marriage certificate with Tang Yunling in the countryside without telling his family, but when he heard this, he was really angry and didn't plan to explain the misunderstanding to him.
Mr. Zhou snorted angrily: "Our Zhou family really raised you in vain."
"Do you know how to threaten your grandfather?"
“That’s great.”
Mr. Zhou's face turned black and he was furious: "Okay, I promise you."
The house needed to be inhabited, so after Mr. Zhou studied the formation set up by Professor Gu, he naturally helped to dismantle the formation.
He is a man who values his promises. Since he has promised his grandson that he will not do anything bad to Tang Yunling, he will naturally keep his word.
Originally, he had no plans to do anything with his grandson's wife.
It's all that brat's own imagination.
After spending a night at the house studying the formation and thinking about how to compete with his grandson, Mr. Zhou returned to school in high spirits.
Zhou Yanfeng said that he borrowed money from He Ting to buy the house, and the old man was thinking about how to reimburse the young couple for the money they used to buy the house.
After much thought, he came up with a brilliant idea.
He came to the school to teach, and the school promised him the conditions, and it’s time to fulfill them.
So, Mr. Zhou strolled to the principal's office.
Since the beginning of the school year, Yu Jing has been vying for election as a student union cadre. She was admitted to Kyoto University with excellent grades, had been exposed to medicine since childhood, and some of her family members work in the health system.
So since she became a student union cadre, she has been a celebrity in the medical department.
As a student union cadre, she is naturally the first to get the news about any disturbance in the school.
Taking advantage of the fact that Lu Baiwei and Song Zhou had not returned at noon, a small group of roommates headed by Yu Jing gathered together and whispered.
Yu Jing announced an inside message.
"Let me tell you something. Today, when I went to the school office to hand in my homework, I heard the department head chatting with our class teacher. He said that there was a highly respected professor in the history department who wanted to select someone from our medical department to study ancient epidemics with him."
"This project is paid, and the history of the epidemics we research will be published in a book."
Yu Jing told Liu Cuifang and Guan Tiantian: "Just think about it, if we seize this opportunity, our names may appear in the published history of ancient epidemics."
"This will be a great resume and will help you choose a job after graduation."
