Chapter 137 Treating the House as a Family Heirloom



Upon hearing this, Tang Wanning couldn't help but complain in his heart:

It's hard to find it even with a lantern. Look at how messy this yard is, with debris piled up all over the place.

The wall paint is peeling off in pieces here and there, making it look very old.

The most important thing is that it only has one floor, and we don’t know what it looks like inside.

If it is clean and tidy, and there is no other choice, it is acceptable.

But Lao Xu must move out the clutter in the yard!

Lao Xu: I will definitely take these treasures away, don’t even think about embezzling them.

"Can I go in and take a look?"

Lao Xu's body stiffened, and he said reluctantly, "The room is a bit messy because I haven't had time to clean it up yet."

"It's okay, I'll just take a look at the layout and stuff."

Having said that, Tang Wanning walked into the house.

As soon as she reached the door, she was stunned by the situation inside the house.

No wonder Lao Xu said it could accommodate ten people. There are beds in the living room, so how could it not be spacious enough?

I only heard Lao Xu say with a smile: "Little girl, I told you, it's not a problem for ten people to stay here. If there are many people in your family, you can put these dining stools together and sleep one person."

Hearing Lao Xu's words, Tang Wanning subconsciously glanced at the table.

There was a pile of bowls and chopsticks on the table, one of which was even moldy, and the area under the table was even more messy.

Seeing Tang Wanning's furrowed brows, Old Xu glared at his daughter-in-law fiercely.

"Old man, are you blind? Didn't you see that there were guests at home? And you didn't even know to clean up."

"Mom, isn't the second wife at home too? Why do you only call me and not her? I don't care. If the second wife doesn't do it, I won't do it either."

"I think you are itching for trouble. You even dare to contradict your mother-in-law!" Lao Xu gave the eldest brother a sinister look. "Boss, are you dead? You just watch your wife bully me like this. I raised you with great difficulty, and this is how you treat me. Have you lost your conscience? If I had known this would happen, I should have drowned you in the urine bucket..."

Tang Wanning: If we are not from the same family, we will not enter the same door.

Look at how lively it is.

Seeing that Lao Xu was about to lie on the ground and throw a tantrum, Tang Wanning quickly pulled Tang Huaixu back, fearing that it would affect them.

When Lao Xu saw this, he thought Tang Wanning wanted to escape, so he quickly blocked their way.

"Little girl, don't go. Are you satisfied with the house?"

"I'm sorry, this house is a bit small. I want to buy a bigger one. My family has lived in the village for generations and we have many relatives. If we come here, there will be dozens of people. It's a bit too small to accommodate them."

Hearing Tang Wanning's words, Lao Xu glared at her with disgust.

"Looking at how well dressed you two are, I thought you were from a wealthy family. I didn't expect you were from the countryside. How much money can a country person have? Hurry up and leave. Don't waste my time."

Tang Wanning didn't refute it, because she said it on purpose to avoid being clingy to by this old woman.

The brother and sister walked away, and Lao Xu was still muttering to himself: "This Lao Zhu is really something. He dares to bring anyone to my house. Is this Feng Shui treasure land of ours something that ordinary people can afford to buy..."

Tang Wanning: This is like treating your own house as a family heirloom.

Although old houses are heirlooms in a sense for Chinese people, they cannot be sold as heirlooms.

Fortunately, she didn't like this house, otherwise she would definitely feel regretful if she couldn't buy it because of this family's problems.

Tang Huaixu said with some disgust, "Sister, this family is too dirty. Not only is it dirty, but it's also very shameless. Let's not buy their house."

"I know, and I don't like this house either. It's dirty and messy. I'll definitely tear it down and rebuild it if I buy it."

"That's good." Tang Huaixu breathed a sigh of relief, "Sister, where are we going now?"

"Didn't Auntie just tell us to go to her house after we look at the house? Anyway, we have nothing to do now, so we can go over and see what she has to say."

Hearing Tang Wanning's words, Tang Huaixu was confused, "But we don't know where Auntie lives."

"Go to the alley where we just met them."

Sure enough, when the two came back, they saw Zhu Qiaoyun playing with Tongtong.

When she saw Tang Wanning and his brother come back, a smile immediately spread across her face. "You've finished watching it. How did you feel?"

"Although the Xu family's location is good, the house is too old. If we buy it, it will probably cost a lot of money to rebuild it."

"It's good that you didn't like it." Zhu Qiaoyun breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her voice, "Old Xu's house is a mess. You must have seen it. There are only three rooms, but a whole family lives there. The grandchildren are already so grown up and they sleep together. Not only that, but even the adults only have a curtain between them. What's the point of such a thin curtain?"

Zhu Qiaoyun's tone was a little sad: "Xiao Tang, don't blame me for not telling you in advance. After all, no matter what, this is the Xu family's own business.

If you knew later that the Xu family wanted to sell their house and I didn't even mention it to you, it might have created a rift between us, so you have to go and see their house in person.

To be honest, even if you like it, you probably won't be able to buy it. With Old Xu's temper, if he sees you two kids buying a house, he will definitely ask for an exorbitant price."

"Don't worry, Auntie. I know you mean well."

Seeing Tang Wanning so insightful, Zhu Qiaoyun also breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to do something bad with good intentions.

"Just don't blame me. In this area, only these two families are selling houses facing the street. The others are all on the inside."

Tang Wanning thought about it and finally decided to go to Old Zhao's house to take a look.

After all, their house is a newly built three-story building, facing the street and close to the department store. Apart from that conflict, there is really nothing else to say.

"Auntie, I want to go and see Lao Zhao's house. Would you mind taking us there?"

"Xiao Tang, think carefully. The Fang family is a bunch of scoundrels. If you buy the Zhao family's house, you won't have a peaceful life in the future."

"Auntie, my boyfriend is a soldier. If his family dares to cause trouble, I will ask him to bring his comrades over. I don't believe they will dare to do anything wrong then!"

Hearing Tang Wanning's words, Zhu Qiaoyun looked at her in surprise, but after seeing her appearance, she was relieved. After all, with her looks, she could find any partner.

If it is true as Tang Wanning said, that her boyfriend is a soldier, the Fang family probably wouldn't dare to be too arrogant.

Because people of this generation have a special feeling towards soldiers.

If anyone dared to shout at the soldiers, the spit of the onlookers would be enough to kill that person.

"Okay, since you've made up your mind, I won't try to persuade you anymore." Zhu Qiaoyun hesitated, "But the people from the Fang family are really difficult to deal with. I won't go over there. I'll show you the way."
