"There are many books here. Feel free to browse. Once you find something, just tell me. The smaller ones are two cents a pound, and the larger ones are five cents a pound. Other things are also very cheap if you want to buy them. Just come back here and tell me what you've chosen."
Upon hearing the old man's words, Jiang Yue quickly thanked him.
"Thank you, sir."
The old man was even happier to hear Jiang Yue address him as "Grandpa".
Jiang Yue looked at the pile of things in front of her that looked like a small mountain and began to search through them.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Yue was even more surprised.
These are no ordinary books; many are decades old, and they encompass a wide variety of genres. Some are even over a hundred years old...
However, it would be difficult for her to store these books if she took them back with her.
The house is too small; if we take them back now, we won't be able to store them properly. Besides, my sister-in-law comes to visit every day, and children come to play. Even though the door is locked, if we're not careful one day and someone finds these books, it will cause trouble.
if...
Jiang Yue suddenly had an idea.
Houses in Xiangcheng are extremely cheap now. You can buy a room for just a few dozen yuan. A couple hundred yuan can buy you a small courtyard.
However, buying a house is not an easy thing, and she doesn't know anyone right now.
Just as Jiang Yue was choosing books, she heard an old man talking to another person not far away.
"Old Li, have you found a buyer for your house yet?"
"Not yet. I've asked so many people, but no one wants it." Another old man's voice was full of anxiety. "If this continues, my old lady's health will only get worse..."
"Your house is in a good location and well-maintained. Someone will definitely buy it. I'll ask around for you..." the old man persuaded Mr. Li.
"Thanks."
Jiang Yue took the book and walked over.
"Uncle Li, where is your house?"
Upon hearing Jiang Yue's voice, both old men looked at her.
"Young man, are you looking to buy a house?"
Jiang Yue smiled and nodded.
“My family might be coming to stay with me, so I’m thinking of buying or renting a house.”
Grandpa Li looked at Jiang Yue in her military uniform and heard her words.
"Young man, my wife is unwell and needs to go to the hospital for treatment. We want to sell the house quickly. It's only a few dozen meters from here. If you're interested in buying, I can take you to see it."
"good."
Jiang Yue nodded and decided to go with Grandpa Li to take a look.
After leaving the scrap metal recycling station, I walked a few dozen meters and arrived at Grandpa Li's house. It was a detached house, and there were several other houses of similar appearance around it.
Grandpa Li pushed open the door, and Jiang Yue looked at the courtyard, which was over 100 square meters in size, with four single-story houses. In one corner, there was a kitchen and a toilet.
"Young comrade, this courtyard is very large. Although the house is only on the four sides, it is very spacious inside."
Grandpa Li walked into the house.
"This is the room where my wife lives."
Grandpa Li opened the door, and an old woman's voice came from inside.
"Old Li."
"Old woman, someone's come to see the house," Grandpa Li said happily.
Hearing what Grandpa Li said, the old woman replied.
"My health is incurable, so don't worry about me."
"It will definitely be cured..." Grandpa Li comforted the old woman.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue decided to go inside the house to take a look.
"aunt."
Upon hearing Jiang Yue's voice, the old woman looked towards the door.
