The houses there are really nice. She had her eye on them when she mentioned wanting to buy a house before, but all three courtyards belong to the same family, and that family said they wanted to live there themselves and definitely wouldn't sell.
Yan Honglan nodded, "Yes, I heard from Duan Fenfang from the factory that that family has run into some trouble and they're planning to sell the house these days."
Yan Honglan mentioned that Duan Fenfang lived nearby and now works as a seamstress in their factory.
She's very well-informed about the neighborhood; if she says that, Yun Duoduo is probably in trouble.
If we could buy these courtyards in the back, that would be wonderful.
This yard is right behind their factory. They'll open a gate there, and it will be so convenient for them to go to and from get off work.
Yun Duoduo nodded, "The house looks nice, I'll go ask about it."
Yan Honglan went over there with Yun Duoduo.
She knocked on the door and found a woman in her fifties in the yard. Yun Duoduo recognized her; she had come to ask about the house before. The woman's name was Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu is a nice person, but she's not very familiar with Yun Duoduo; they just exchange greetings when they run into each other.
The yard is now spotless, with nothing left. It seems they're really going to sell the house.
Moreover, Aunt Liu looks much more haggard than when Yun Duoduo saw her last time.
Last time, Aunt Liu was dressed up beautifully, but today, she clearly doesn't feel like dressing up at all.
Yun Duoduo guessed that their family had encountered some difficulties recently.
But she didn't want to ask directly, so Yun Duoduo stepped forward and tentatively asked, "Auntie, what's going on here...?"
"Mr. Yun, it's you." Aunt Liu looked at Yun Duoduo with a somewhat forced smile and said, "A family member has been transferred for work, so we're planning to rent out this house. Are you here to look at the house?"
It was obvious that Aunt Liu was embarrassed to say that she wanted to sell the house. The last time she asked, Aunt Liu was very firm and said that she would not sell the house and that she would live in it herself.
Not long after, a family emergency occurred, and she immediately changed her mind about selling the house, feeling embarrassed.
So, Yun Duoduo gave Aunt Liu a way out, deliberately saying, "Aunt Liu, I'm not very interested in renting the house, but if you're willing to sell, we can talk about it."
Clearly, Aunt Liu's family was in a hurry to get the money; her eyes lit up.
But she deliberately said, "You guys really want to buy it? I thought you were joking last time."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "As I told you before, our three courtyards are all connected. If we're going to sell them, all three will be sold together, and the price won't be low."
Yun Duoduo nodded. "We can discuss the price slowly. If you want to sell, you can contact me."
After hearing this, Aunt Liu immediately nodded and said that she would go to Yun Duoduo when her son returned and discuss it in detail.
Seeing Aunt Liu's exhausted appearance, Yun Duoduo felt a little sorry for her and casually asked, "Aunt Liu, why don't you tell me what happened to your family? Why did you decide to rent out the house? Where were you transferred to for work?"
"I, I..." Aunt Liu hesitated for a moment, but finally came out. She pulled Yun Duoduo and Yan Honglan into the house and told them the truth, "Boss Yun, we are acquaintances, so I won't hide it from you."
“My son ran into some trouble in his business. A batch of goods was seized in the south. But after confirming that there were goods in the south, he ordered a lot of things from home to give to others. If the goods can’t be returned, he will have to pay double the amount according to the contract. Otherwise, my son might go to jail. We really have no other choice but to sell the house to ease his burden.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Duoduo immediately asked, "What kind of goods are they? Why were they detained for no reason?"
When Yun Duoduo heard that he was going to the south to buy goods, she thought that Li Yunfeng often traveled there, so she wondered if she could put in a good word for him.
They're all neighbors, and they're all in business, so I'll help them if I can.
Aunt Liu shook her head and sighed, "It's all because my son doesn't know how to behave and offended those people. There's really nothing we can do; that's not our territory anyway."
"Aunt Liu, what kind of business does your son run, and what kind of goods does he need?" If things weren't going smoothly over there, Yun Duoduo thought that she had quite a few goods in her space and might be able to help, so she asked Aunt Liu, "Tell me about it, maybe I can be of some help."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu's eyes lit up when she saw Yun Duoduo. "Yes, yes, how come I didn't think of this? Boss Yun, you're also in the fabric business."
Then, Aunt Liu began to speak, “I heard from my son that he bought 10,000 yuan worth of fabric because he saw something called leggings that is very popular in the south. He planned to find a factory to process a pair of pants, but they were detained at customs because the procedures were not complete. The problem is that he has already received a lot of deposits for the products, and if the goods cannot be returned, he will have to lose a lot of money.”
At this point, Aunt Liu was extremely anxious. "Those merchants even said that if we don't see the goods on time, they will cause trouble. If they cause trouble, my son might go to jail. We have no choice but to try to raise the money and compensate them first."
After saying that, she pointed to her house, "We originally planned to sell one of the courtyards, but my son said it wasn't enough, we had to sell at least two courtyards, so..."
Yun Duoduo was right; Aunt Liu's family was indeed in trouble.
However, Yun Duoduo felt that Aunt Liu must have done good deeds in her past life to have met her, and she really could help solve these problems.
She immediately asked Aunt Liu, "The kind of leggings you're talking about, are they the kind that's stretchy and designed to be worn with the feet down?"
"You know?" Aunt Liu nodded immediately when she saw that what Yun Duoduo said was exactly the same as what her son had said. "It's that kind of pants. They say they're very popular in the South. My son said that if we bring them back, we can definitely make money. He estimates that we can make several thousand yuan from a truckload."
“Yes, I know.” Yun Duoduo smiled at Aunt Liu. “And not only do I know, I should also be able to get my hands on this kind of material.”
These words were like a warm ray of sunshine in winter for Aunt Liu.
She looked at Yun Duoduo in disbelief. "Duoduo, are you telling the truth?"
"If it's true, you'll be our family's savior. I'd do anything for you, let alone buy you a house. I'd be your slave for the rest of my life."
“Aunt Liu, like this…” Yun Duoduo knew that it was difficult to explain in a short time. She needed to see the fabric and talk to Aunt Liu’s son in person.
She glanced at her watch; it was almost evening. She figured Yan Gusheng would be back soon, and she'd definitely have to stay at the hospital that night, so she wouldn't have time to discuss this.
