Chapter 260 Buying a Siheyuan

After hearing these words, Liu Lan's face turned black!

She was regretting it so much now. If she had known that it would be stolen by Li Qiang and Wang Guixiang, she should have sold it earlier!

Now, not only did she not get a penny, but she was also exposed by Li Zhaodi on the spot. Now Li Zhan and Li Jie knew about it, and they didn't give her any money or work points to spend!

Count on the strong again?

That's an ungrateful person! What sin did she commit in her previous life to give birth to such a beast?

Now that he knows that Li Zhan and Li Jie don't care about her and he can't get any money from her, he just treats his wife as air. Not to mention money, he just acts as if he doesn't see her when he sees her!

She thought that none of the other three sons of the Li family could be relied on in the future, and she would have to rely on her own son when she got old, so her heart was completely on Li Qiang these years. She hid the good meat and eggs at home and secretly fed them to Li Qiang. She made cotton-padded clothes for other children, stuffing reed wadding and old cotton inside, but Li Qiang always wore new cotton padded clothes!

Even when Li Zhan later sent back his allowance to help the Li family's sons get married, she first found a wife for Li Qiang before it was the turn of Li Jun, the eldest son of the Li family!

In the end, partiality led to hatred! Liu Lan was really mad to death.

Since her own son Li Qiang was unreliable, she went to find Li Jie, but was scolded by Li Jie. She then placed her hope on Li Zhan.

After all... Lizhan had been sending his allowance home for more than ten years, so he should be easier to deceive. Moreover, it was true that she wanted to embezzle the jade, but she didn't sell it this time. If she pretended to be pitiful, Lizhan should be able to support her in her old age.

The pitiful letter was sent out more than half a month ago, and Li Zhan should have seen it.

That's why she came here with hope to see if Li Zhan had remitted money to her.

Unfortunately... the wishful thinking failed.

Liu Lan did not look for the reason in herself, but hated Xia Juanjuan even more.

Lizhan is such an honest and kind child, he must have been instigated by his wife to stop caring about her!

She will never tolerate this little whore!

Liu Lan glared at Xia Juanjuan hatefully, then turned and left.

Just wait! She will soon make Xia Juanjuan regret going against her!

By then, Li Zhan will definitely divorce Xia Juanjuan!

When this little whore is no longer instigating her, she will have a good talk with Li Zhan, and he will definitely treat her as his own mother again!

Xia Juanjuan frowned and looked at Liu Lan, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.

Is this old woman planning something harmful again?

When she got home, she whispered to Lin Yuru, asking her to be more careful when she went out these days, especially to ignore Liu Lan when she saw her.

Lin Yuru heard this and responded, "Now everyone in the village knows about the bad things she did. Who would care about her? I certainly won't punish her."

Xia Juanjuan nodded and said, "I have to go to town tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to buy some things. When you are at home, you must keep a close eye on the kids and don't let them run around like crazy."

She is going to Beijing.

Luo Cheng had brought her a letter before, saying that Dahei had found a nice courtyard house in Beijing, but she had not had time to make time to go and see it.

In the past two days, she received news from the capital saying that the owner of the courtyard house was in urgent need of money, and if she didn't go to see it, she would have to find another buyer.

So, she will be there in the next two days.

Lin Yuru didn't doubt him and said with a smile, "Go ahead. I'm at home."

The next day, Xia Juanjuan went to Beijing through space.

This courtyard house is close to Shichahai Lake. It is not far from Houhai Lake and is also not far from Yandaixie Street and Nanluoguxiang.

Xia Juanjuan naturally knew that in twenty or thirty years, this place would be a place where every inch of land in Beijing would be worth a lot of money. By then, even if she had money, she would not be able to buy a courtyard house nearby!

Of course, even in this era, this location is one of the most prosperous locations in Beijing.

The owner of the house is the same as Cui Xiaotong, who sold the rosewood couch to Xia Juanjuan before, and both of them are descendants of the family.

He planned to sell the courtyard house, exchange it for gold, and then secretly go to the south.

Therefore, they were in a hurry to sell it, and had to use wilder methods to find it, otherwise it would be impossible to find Dahei.

However, the price he asked for was too high, so after selling it for half a year, no one was interested. Otherwise, he would not have waited for Xia Juanjuan for so long.

Xia Juanjuan asked Dahei softly, "How much does he want?"

Dahei made the number six.

"Sixty thousand?" Xia Juanjuan asked.

Dahei nodded: "At first I thought he was making fun of me! Who can come up with 60,000 yuan these days? And from what he said, he wants gold bars. 60,000 yuan, 10 yuan a piece, how high would that be! And... people in the south won't recognize it. But if there really is no gold bars, then money will do. He can go to the south and find a way to exchange it for gold."

Xia Juanjuan understood what he meant when she heard it. This might be a plan to steal it and get it to Hong Kong City!

This courtyard house is definitely worth 60,000 yuan, and its value lies in the fact that the yard itself is empty and has not been allocated to other citizens to turn into a large compound. When the time comes, there will be no need to argue with these residents as the property rights are clear.

But 60,000 yuan was not enough for Xia Juanjuan.

Since the beginning of the year, her business with Luocheng has become a little more frequent. In addition to ginseng, she has also started to supply other Chinese medicinal materials.

Luo Cheng once asked her if she had any western medicine, and she later sold western medicine a few times.

However, the amount of western medicine stored in her space is limited, so she only supplies it in small quantities. Scarcity makes things valuable. Besides, if western medicine were to become available indiscriminately, it would be too conspicuous!

In addition, the food was also turned over several times.

However, grain is now purchased and sold by a unified authority, so the price cannot be raised and the profit is actually average, which is not as good as selling medicinal materials.

With the income from this period, plus her previous savings, she now has only 40,000 yuan in her hands, and she is still 20,000 yuan short.

Following Dahei into the courtyard, Xia Juanjuan looked around. This was a courtyard with two entrances, and the place was not small.

Xia Juanjuan was quite satisfied.

In thirty or forty years, the prices in this area will be sky-high. Now it’s only 60,000, which is really not expensive.

However, she was short of money, and it was impossible for her to just be taken advantage of without asking for any price.

After Xia Juanjuan asked about the price, she asked calmly, "Can we negotiate?"

The host looked arrogant and said in a hoarse voice: "Do you know the goods? This is the ancestral property of the royal family! Bargain, turn left when you leave, I won't see you off!"

After hearing this, Xia Juanjuan walked out without saying a word.

Dahei quickly held her back and said, "Sister, don't go. Let's discuss this. I think you like this yard."

Xia Juanjuan deliberately showed a lack of interest and said, "The yard is good, but 60,000 yuan is too expensive. At this price, I can buy two houses elsewhere. No matter how good the location is, it's not worth it."

Dahei walked up to his master and whispered, "Old Zhang, tell me something. I have asked everyone in Beijing. What time is it now? If anyone has ten spare coins, he is a rich family. No one can afford so much at once. I know you are thinking that someone will directly exchange gold with you. But think about it, if someone has ten gold bars at home, does he still need your courtyard house? He must have one himself! Besides, even if he really has gold bars, who would dare to take them out and trade with you openly?

This sister was introduced by Luo Cheng. Don't you believe in Luo's reputation in Beijing? I'm telling you this, only this sister can afford the price you want. If you still want to wait, then I have nothing to say. I don't have the ability to be the middleman for your business..."

The owner had obviously heard of the name of Luocheng. He was moved and pulled Dahei aside, asking in a low voice: "Dahei, I heard that Luocheng... Luoge, has a way to the southern port city? You have to promise to ask Luoge for me and help me when the time comes, and I will sell it at a lower price..."

Dahei sneered at the owner and said, "Old Zhang, your plan is a good one, isn't it? Even if you cut the price by half, it may not be enough to pay Brother Luo for such a risky thing!"

The owner felt a little pained: "Want... want it to be half the price?"

Lao Zhang knows a lot about the routes to Hong Kong. The route to Luocheng is not actually for this purpose, but it is the safest. If Luocheng is willing to help, it will be the most foolproof.

The owner thought for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Half and half! As long as Brother Luo is willing to help me, I will sell this courtyard house for 30,000!"

Dahei couldn't make the decision for Luocheng, but he agreed to talk to his master.

Therefore, when Dahei came over again, he said to Xia Juanjuan: "The master said he needs to think about it again. How about we come over again tomorrow?"

After hearing this, Xia Juanjuan nodded and agreed.

Her target price was 45,000, but she eventually estimated that the price would be between 50,000 and 55,000.

Of course, if the owner really insisted on the 60,000 and refused to give in, she would most likely buy it.

In short, everything depends on human effort.

However, I only have 40,000 yuan on me, and I am still short of another 10,000 or 20,000 yuan!

At this time, Xia Juanjuan began to regret that she had not paid enough attention to making money in the past two years, and now she couldn't even take out 60,000 yuan...

Well, even though it’s a bit of a loss, if it’s really not possible, I can just use the gold bars I’ve stockpiled to pay part of it.

She hoarded gold bars in order to have them in case she needed a large sum of money urgently and was unable to take it out immediately.

In this day and age, gold can be exchanged for food supplies. You can work hard on your career and exchange more for gold.

After leaving the courtyard, Xia Juanjuan returned to the rented house and then returned home through the space.

As soon as Dahei went out, he went to look for Luocheng.

Luo Cheng happened to be in Beijing these days, but he was busy with other things, so Xia Juanjuan's matter was left to Dahei.

Dahei told Luocheng what the owner of the courtyard meant and asked:

"Brother Luo, regarding the port route, I know that you usually transport supplies and goods, not people.

However, I tried my best to persuade Zhang to lower the price this time, but I didn't say much. You see...how about I agree to it for the sake of Sister Juan'er?

If Luo agrees, I think Sister Juan'er likes the house very much. Tomorrow, let Lao Zhang give a discount of 50 or 10,000 yuan. Then, he will give Luo 20,000 yuan with the money he got from Sister Juan'er. In this way, we can give Sister Juan'er face and make a profit, which is not bad. "

Luo Cheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay. Tell Lao Zhang that I'll make an exception and take him with me this time."

After hearing this, Dahei couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

This...isn't it too easy to agree?
