"The old guy finally couldn't help but come over. He is really patient. I have persuaded him for so long and he finally made up his mind now." Bai Fangqiu was woken up early by the ringing of the phone. He heard all the conversation in the room just now. At this time, the old man had a smile on his face, and he was obviously sincerely happy about the arrival of his old friend.
"Grandpa, it's still early. You should sleep a little longer." Jiang Erni looked at the clock hanging on the wall. There was still an hour before going to the hospital in the afternoon. Today was a holiday, and there were more patients in the hospital than usual. It was estimated that the hospital would be very busy.
"No need. It's not easy for him to fall asleep at his age." Bai Fangqiu waved his hand. "I'll have to trouble you guys to run around more these days and prepare quilts, washbasins, toothbrushes and other things. Your Grandpa Ruan will live in the room next to mine from now on. It will be convenient for the two of us to talk."
"Er Ni, you will go to my place to get the money later, don't save it for me."
"Yeah." Jiang Erni responded crisply.
As they were talking, Jiang Sanni, who had been escorting someone out of the alley for more than half an hour, finally came back reluctantly, with a blush on her face, looking very beautiful.
"Sanni, come in with me." Jiang Erni glared at her sister and spoke in an angry and anxious tone.
Jiang Sanni looked at her brother subconsciously, bit her lip, and reluctantly went into the house with her second sister.
The truth was revealed? Bai Fangqiu made some sign language to Jiang Yiliu, who nodded. Old Master Bai covered his mouth seriously, put his hands behind his head, and went back to the house, shaking his head.
As an elder sister educating her younger sister, it’s better for an old man like him not to eavesdrop.
The soundproofing of this old house is not very good. If the volume is a little loud, people outside the house can hear it, but it is not very clear. Jiang Sanni was called into the house by her second sister. At first, the voice was relatively soft, but later Jiang Erni seemed to be unable to control her temper, and the volume became louder and louder. In the meantime, there were also voices of Jiang Sanni's rebuttal.
Jiang Yilu felt that his second sister's persuasion would not produce any good results, but might push his third sister towards Fu Yunsheng.
But, so what? Fu Yunsheng must have some purpose in approaching the third sister. He just needs to wait patiently for the other party to show his true colors, and then let the third sister learn a lesson, and then she will feel the pain.
Jiang Yilu felt that he had done too much in the past and helped them block too many bad things in the world. He originally thought that this was the right thing to do, but now he realized that he was extremely wrong.
"Xiaobao, let's go help Ruan Ruan choose some nice furniture. There are many things to prepare. I heard that the Overseas Chinese Store has received a batch of very beautiful foreign towels. Ruan Ruan has been living in the capital for many years, so she must not be used to those ordinary towels sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives. And..." Si Ni kept nagging, counting on her fingers what to buy. It was just that there were so many things she was thinking about that she wished she could use even her fingers.
Jiang Yilu turned around and nodded at her, putting the argument in the next room behind him.
******
Almost all of Ruan Ruan's things were selected by Jiang Sini alone. During this period, Jiang Yilu wanted to help choose some things, but was rejected by Sini. He could only settle for the second best and help Grandpa Ruan and Ruan Congzhao buy some daily necessities. Grandpa Ruan will stay in the capital in the future, so he needs to buy more things.
Jiang Yiluo owned dozens of houses, but they were all badly damaged during the Cultural Revolution. The only exception was the small Western-style building at No. 329 Iris Road, which was well preserved because it was originally occupied by a big rebel. When the big rebel stepped down, the furniture inside was also left there and was not moved away.
Jiang Yilu remembered that when he was checking the western-style building, he seemed to have seen a relatively well-preserved carved dressing table in the warehouse. It seemed to have belonged to the previous owner of the western-style building. Because the style was too luxurious and complicated, it was thrown into the warehouse by the rebels and no longer used. In addition, there were some tables, chairs, beds and other things, but Jiang Yilu did not look at them carefully at the time.
Jiang Yilu didn't know why, but he suddenly became interested in tidying up the small warehouse and renovating the furniture. They were all made of top-quality wood, and it would be a shame to leave them there gathering dust. Especially the dressing table, which was just the right size and style for Ruan Ruan. The other old-style wooden carved beds also suited the preferences of an old man of Grandpa Ruan's age.
Jiang Yilu thought about it and immediately took the key and took the tram to his house on Iris Road. The bus stop was not far from the house. Jiang Yilu saw a black car parked in front of his yard from a distance of several dozen meters.
Is it the neighbor next door? Jiang Yilu walked towards the villa in confusion.
After walking a dozen steps, Jiang Yilu saw several people standing in front of a black car. There was a slender woman wearing a cheongsam and shoulder-length hair with slightly curled ends, which made her hair fluffy and charming. It was only May and the weather was neither cold nor hot, but the woman was still wrapped in a thick shawl.
Two tall bodyguards in black stood behind her, protecting her closely and keeping an eye on all strangers around them.
The three people stood at the door of the western-style building. Many people from the nearby houses leaned out of their doors to look in. After all, they had never seen such a scene before, especially the woman, who was dressed as stylishly and beautifully as a lady in a magazine. This was something you would never see in daily life.
Seeing this, Jiang Yilu quickened his pace, wanting to see who was standing at his door.
But he was still a step too slow. When he was only ten steps away from the woman, the woman turned around and got into the car, followed by two bodyguards. Jiang Yilu, who arrived in a hurry, not only breathed in a mouthful of exhaust fumes, but also didn't even get a clear look at what the woman looked like.
The other person wore black sunglasses, revealing only her lips painted with bright red lipstick. Her skin was pale and she looked a little thin. It was hard to tell how old she was, but judging from the lower half of her face, she must be a decent-looking woman.
"Young man, why did you come just now?"
Jiang Yilu was just feeling disappointed when the old lady whom his uncle met last time poked her head out from her yard. She looked at Jiang Yilu with jealousy and surprise, as if she was an old cat that had seen a big fat fish and wanted to eat him whole, skin and bones.
"Grandma Wang, what were those people standing in front of my yard just now doing?" Jiang Yilu felt a little embarrassed and confused by being stared at, but he was curious about the woman standing at the door of his house, so even though he felt a little scared, he endured it.
"Young man, you are going to make a fortune." The old lady stood on tiptoe with her hands on the wall. "That woman just now was looking for you, but it's a pity that you came a step too late."
"Get rich? Looking for me?" Jiang Yilu pointed at himself. Could it be that the woman was here to buy a house?
"Yes." The old lady frowned, as if wondering why she had never encountered such a good thing. "People want to pay 150,000 to buy your house." The old lady stretched out her fingers, but found that her fingers were not enough. Her heart was bleeding even more painfully. She didn't know whether it was for the woman who paid a large sum of money, or for Jiang Yilu, who came a step late and let a big money sponsor go in vain.
"150,000!" Jiang Yiliu bought this western-style building for only 13,000 yuan, and it has increased more than ten times in just a few years. Jiang Yiliu was a little wary, thinking that the other party's purpose must not be so simple. After all, there are so many western-style houses in Haicheng. Although the one in front of him is well preserved, it can't be sold at such a price.
"Grandma Wang, do you know the person who came to buy the house?" Jiang Yilu asked with a frown.
"I don't know him. You can tell at a glance that he is a rich man. How can ordinary people like us know such a person?" Old Mrs. Wang waved her hands repeatedly. Most importantly, the other person's face was half covered by a big black pair of sunglasses, making it even harder for her, an old lady, to recognize him.
"By the way, she asked me to leave a message for you, saying that if you are willing to sell this house to her, you can go to the largest Overseas Chinese Hotel to find her and tell the front desk that you are looking for Miss Kim or Miss Scarf."
The old lady relayed the other person's words, but she was a little uncertain when she mentioned the name. How could someone have such a strange name?
"She also said that if you are not satisfied with the price, she is willing to add more." The old lady put her hand to her mouth and said mysteriously, as if Jiang Yilu was about to make a fortune.
"Young man, you don't have a partner yet, right? My granddaughter is just eighteen years old this year. She is very pretty and is in high school now. I think she is a perfect match for you. Would you like to find some time to meet her?" The old lady thought that it would be good to keep the money in the family. This is 150,000 yuan, maybe even more. Even if she does nothing, it is enough for the whole family to live a life of luxury.
"I won't sell this house." Jiang Yilu shook his head without thinking. He didn't know what the house meant to his uncle. How could he sell it for such a small amount of money?
"I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. Grandma Wang, I'll leave first. If you see that person again next time, tell her this." After Jiang Yiluo finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
"Hey, hey, young man, don't leave." The old lady jumped up and down across the wall. "You haven't told me where you study. I have a photo of my granddaughter here. She's so pretty. Take a look before you leave."
The old lady let her golden grandson-in-law run away twice in a row. She was so angry that she almost rolled her eyes and kept shouting behind her. Jiang Yilu didn't care. Instead, he felt a little nervous for the stranger who suddenly appeared.
Jiang Yilu had always suspected that the small box of gold bars given by his uncle was dug out from that villa. He didn't know whether the woman who suddenly appeared was the real owner of the gold bars or someone who knew the secret. But no matter which one it was, it would be a big trouble to let the other party know that the gold bars were dug away by his uncle.
Jiang Yiliu was somewhat thankful that he did not let his third sister take the gold bars, but converted them into cash. What he had to do now was to write a letter to his uncle to ask for clarification and think of an appropriate way to resolve the matter.
