Huo Beixiao pulled her directly into his coat and covered her up. "Wife, didn't you say that these courtyard houses in Beicheng are something that money can't buy in the future?"
"Since we won't be able to buy it even if we have money in the future, but we can buy it now, and we have money and someone is selling it, why don't we buy it?"
“But…” Yang Qiaoqiao hesitated.
Huo Beixiao is rich, but she is not!
The key issue is that although the courtyard houses in the northern part of the city will be very valuable in the future, they cannot be demolished or renovated, and a lot of effort will be required to maintain them. They will just be like large antiques.
From an investment perspective, it's far more valuable to buy a plot of land in the northern part of the city.
Huo Beixiao gently ruffled her hair with his dry, rough hands, his dark eyes looking at her with a hint of resentment. "Wife, are you afraid of spending my money again?"
“I’m your man, I earn money for you to spend. I give you all my money, but you don’t spend a single penny. I feel insecure because I think you might abandon me at any time.”
Yang Qiaoqiao: ...
She rolled her eyes at the man, somewhat speechless.
Although she was somewhat reluctant to spend a man's money, she was considering it more from an investment perspective.
She analyzed the pros and cons for the man.
To her surprise, the man, a shrewd businessman, interrupted her analysis, looking her straight in the eye and saying, "Wife, money can't buy what you love. I earn money to buy you things you like. Why keep thinking about investing? We can't spend that much money, can we?"
Yang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but look up at the man's relaxed face.
Suddenly, I felt a sense of clarity and understanding.
After her rebirth, she seemed to continue thinking like she did in her previous life, always thinking about how to make money from money and earn more money.
In her past life, she worked hard to become the richest woman, but gave everything to Qin Haiyang and retreated behind the scenes. In this life, she wants to stand at the forefront.
But now, she suddenly understands that, given a second chance at life, she not only wants to make money, but also to enjoy life.
She followed Huo Beixiao into the alley without any psychological burden.
As she walked into the alley, she felt that it was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.
On second thought, she realized that it might just be because the alleys in the north of the city were all pretty much the same, which was why she felt familiar with them.
Upon reaching the third courtyard in the alley, Huo Beixiao knocked on the door. A somewhat impatient, aged voice quickly came from inside, "Who is it? It's so cold outside..."
After the courtyard gate opened, Huo Beixiao explained his purpose.
The old lady, with her completely white hair, slightly hunched but rosy complexion and full of energy, said directly, "Buying a house? 120,000, no bargaining. If you can afford it, bring the money and I'll go with you to transfer the property. If you can't afford it, hurry up and leave, don't let this old woman freeze."
Although Yang Qiaoqiao knew that the house was not sold because the seller was asking for a high price, she did not expect it to be this expensive.
Huo Beixiao bought the cement factory for only 200,000 yuan, while the old lady's 500-square-meter house cost 120,000 yuan.
"Grandma, you should at least let us see the house first. We need to see the house first to determine if it's worth the price before deciding whether to buy it, right?" Yang Qiaoqiao said to the old lady politely, even though she was shocked.
The old lady glared at her. "What do you mean? You mean the old lady's house isn't worth this price, and she wants to sell it to you for this price, and you think she's trying to rip you off?"
Yang Qiaoqiao: ...
She finally understood why the house sale notice had faded, yet such a nice house hadn't been sold.
With that old lady's temper, who could do business with her?
"If you're not going to buy anything, then hurry up and leave. It's freezing cold outside, don't let this old woman freeze here with you!"
Before they could even speak, Old Mrs. Tong impatiently shooed them away and was about to close the door.
Yang Qiaoqiao had completely given up on the idea of buying that courtyard, but Huo Beixiao said, "Grandpa, let's buy it."
Grandma Tong was clearly taken aback for a moment, but quickly regained her sour expression.
"You want to buy it? Okay, come find me with the money at 10 a.m. tomorrow. I won't wait for you if you're late."
After saying that, the old lady closed the door.
Yang Qiaoqiao: ...
The old lady's temper is really something...
However, since Huo Beixiao had decided to buy the courtyard, she didn't say anything more.
Anyway, in another twenty years, the rent for those two storefronts facing the street will be more than 120,000 yuan a month.
What's more, there's a small courtyard in the back where you can stay.
When they get old, this will be a quiet and peaceful place to retire. So we bought it, and there's nothing to hesitate about.
The next day, Huo Beixiao accompanied Yang Qiaoqiao to the bank to withdraw money, and then went to Grandma Tong's house.
When Grandma Tong opened the door and saw the two of them, she was a little surprised. "Oh, you two really came!"
"Alright, come in and wait. I'll change my clothes and then we'll go to transfer the property."
Grandma Tong led the two into the main room to sit down, and then went into the inner room to change her clothes.
As soon as Yang Qiaoqiao entered the old lady's main room, she was immediately drawn to the embroidery hanging on the wall.
Each embroidery piece features fine stitches, exquisite techniques, and beautiful designs.
When Old Mrs. Tong came out of the inner room, she saw Yang Qiaoqiao looking at her embroidery pieces and couldn't help but sneer, "Do you even understand them? You're just looking at them there?"
Yang Qiaoqiao smiled politely and said, "I really can't understand it. I can only tell that this is Shu embroidery, right? Your skill in the past would probably only be used by people in Beijing."
Hearing this, Old Lady Tong's cold expression softened slightly. "You young comrade, you're quite knowledgeable despite your young age. Do you know what stitches are used in Shu embroidery?"
