The old man's tone was rather unfriendly, "Young lady, are you sure you want to buy it?"
"It's all written clearly on my paper: 40,000 yuan. I won't haggle over a single penny. If you can come up with the money, my wife and I will move out immediately." The old man looked the girl up and down. It wasn't that he looked down on her, but although the girl had a good temperament, her family wouldn't object to her coming up with 40,000 yuan in one go.
Qiao Wanyue nodded, "Take me inside and have a look. I like it, price is not a problem."
The old man, however, had lost his strength. "Go in by yourself, and don't touch anything bad."
Qiao Wanyue nodded and casually took out an apple. "You eat first. My family and I will go take a look and we'll be back in a bit."
The Siheyuan is modeled after Suzhou gardens, but it has more unique northern style. It has two courtyards, one in and one out, and the inner courtyard has seven rooms, all of which are open and closed.
Forty thousand yuan.
It's not expensive.
If this continues for a few more years, the price will double.
Qiao Wanyue understood.
“Grandpa, 40,000 yuan is too much. If I exchange it all for cash, thieves will be after me. How about this, I'll go to the bank to transfer it, and you can deposit it directly into the bank. You won't have to go back and forth to deposit the money.”
There was one more person in the yard.
An elderly woman with white hair.
She didn't recognize the old man.
She knows the old lady.
Ye Qingqiu, a literary scholar who later became popular throughout the country.
I heard from a professor at the Faculty of Letters at Kyoto University that although the elderly couple survived the disaster, they did not live well during those years and later lived in the Jingya Residence at Kyoto University.
Moreover, Professor Ye's wife came from a scholarly family and had once donated a house to the country.
Could this be it?
"Are you really going to buy it?"
Qiao Wanyue steadied herself and said, "If you sell, I'll buy."
The old man wasn't one to dawdle. "Qingqiu, I'll go with her. You stay home."
Ye Qingqiu grabbed her husband's hand, "You really want to buy it? You're here because of this..." She could see the reluctance in her husband's eyes, but too many people were eyeing this courtyard. If they sold it, they could at least get some money back.
If they don't sell, it's very likely that the two of them...
The old man patted his wife on the shoulder and said directly, "Young lady, let me make this clear to you. You just saw this house; it's definitely worth more than 40,000. The reason I'm selling it for 40,000 is because someone is eyeing it."
If you have the ability to resist those people, then go ahead and buy it. If not, I advise you not to get involved.
Qiao Wanyue smiled, "May I ask who it is?" If the other party's status is higher than Lu Yunzhou's, she would have to think twice, after all, it's not worth risking herself for a small gain.
"The Liang family's daughter-in-law."
A hint of disgust flashed in Qiao Wanyue's eyes.
It's them again!
The old man didn't miss the emotion in her eyes. "You know her?"
Qiao Wanyue: "An enemy? That makes things easier. I'll take this house."
She would have let it go if it were someone else.
She wasn't afraid at all if it were a member of the Liang family.
Seeing that she wasn't afraid, the old man casually asked, "May I ask your name, or your husband's name?" He remembered that she had just said she was a military dependent.
"Qiao Wanyue, a student at Peking University this year." Now that she knew the man was a professor at Peking University, Qiao Wanyue decided to befriend him; having more friends was always better than having more enemies.
"Economics Department?"
Qiao Wanyue nodded.
