To prevent the puppet doctor's earnings from falling behind the rate of housing price increases, Tang Baozhu had no choice but to take out a lot of gold bars from her spatial storage.
I bought two shops, each about 50 or 60 square meters. Even though they are both small shops, the total area is only a little over 100 square meters. The amount of money I spent was beyond my imagination.
Because Tang Baozhu is still young, these two shops are not needed for the time being, but they cannot be left idle.
I simply rented out both shops, which together bring in one or two thousand yuan a month. We also agreed in advance that we would only rent them out until I graduated from university.
After all, I bought these two shops specifically so that I could live a carefree life in the future. I can't wait until I want to live a carefree life and then not be able to get the shops back.
Tang Baozhu felt that she might have stayed in the immortal realm for too long, and she always felt like she had no interest in anything.
The feelings from the immortal realm have clearly faded, but perhaps the memories are too vast.
Tang Baozhu felt that she might be a bit more laid-back in her new life and get through this period of lethargy first.
Time passed quietly. Every day, besides going to school, I stayed at home. On Saturdays and Sundays, when I had nothing to do, I would go for a walk in the suburbs to relax.
Time quickly moved to the year 2000, and by then, Tang Baozhu felt that the entire capital city was developing rapidly.
Everywhere is being demolished, and those dilapidated courtyard houses are all being replaced with tall buildings.
Unexpectedly, they were so lucky that Tang Baozhu's small courtyard house and two shops happened to be within the demolition area.
The entire courtyard house is about 800 square meters, and the two shops together are about 110 square meters.
If there's demolition now, there are subsidies for both the house and the money. Tang Baozhu would definitely choose half the house and half the money. She instantly felt that she wouldn't need to go to work at all after renting out the house. She could just stay at home and laze around all day.
During this period, they lived in rented houses until Tang Baozhu graduated from junior high school, at which point they finally received their assigned housing.
They allocated about two shops and five houses, with the rest being one or two million in cash.
Tang Baozhu didn't know if she received a lot or a little, but considering her family's small house, she felt that this amount was acceptable.
She used the one or two million to buy a house, planning to be an ordinary landlady from now on, which would be just fine.
Aside from living in one apartment by herself, she rented out all the other properties, including the shops. She then realized that she didn't seem to be short of money anymore, since the monthly rent was tens of thousands of yuan, so she was indeed not short of money.
Even the puppet doctor seems to be becoming more and more popular, with more and more people coming to him for treatment. Moreover, prices have risen slightly, and he earns several thousand yuan a day, with some even earning tens of thousands.
He transferred almost everything under the puppet's name to Tang Baozhu's name. The puppet was now playing an older person, and he felt that it wouldn't be long before he had to put it into his spatial storage.
The best approach was to release him at the beginning and have him pretend to be an old man in his sixties or seventies, because people generally trust traditional Chinese medicine practitioners of that age more.
So when Tang Baozhu was in her twenties, the old Chinese medicine doctor was already in his eighties or nineties. He waited until Tang Baozhu was about to graduate from university before gradually reducing the number of times he went out.
When he felt the time was right, he took the old Chinese medicine doctor and left Kyoto, heading to some deserted suburb.
Then they built a tombstone for him deep in the mountains and forests, using an illusion technique to make it look like there was a corpse inside.
Then she put the puppet into her spatial storage and kept it in the mountains for about a month before preparing to return to Kyoto.
When you run into familiar neighbors on your way back, if they ask about the miracle doctor's health, just tell them that your grandfather has passed away.
Most people felt it was a pity, after all, the doctor's skills were so good and the fees were not expensive at all. Some sentimental old men and women even shed a couple of tears.
Nowadays, a casual trip to the hospital can easily cost tens of thousands of yuan for a serious case, unlike traditional Chinese medicine, which can cure the illness with just a few doses of medicine for only a few hundred yuan.
When Tang Baozhu saw these people, so genuinely emotional, she really wanted to tell them that there was no need to cry so bitterly; they had simply returned to where they belonged.
In the end, he left awkwardly but politely, and then went straight home.
Before she even got home, a boy suddenly ran towards her from a distance. Tang Baozhu immediately recognized him as her classmate.
Over the years, it's not that no one has liked Tang Baozhu or pursued her; it's just that she now maintains a nonchalant attitude, indifferent to men.
So some people gave up after pursuing her for a while because they saw that Tang Baozhu's attitude was too indifferent. But this boy who came over now has been pursuing her for three years.
Compared to others, she did persist for a bit longer. In fact, Tang Baozhu felt that he must have been attracted to her looks.
Perhaps because he spent too long in the celestial realm in his previous life, his soul almost became the same as that of that world. So, in this life, he started as an infant and, under the influence of his soul, gradually grew to look more and more like his previous self.
With such a beautiful appearance in her previous life, she would be considered beautiful even in the cultivation world where beauties abound, let alone in this mortal world.
Gu Han had just heard from others that Tang Baozhu's grandfather had passed away, and worried that Tang Baozhu was too sad, so he rushed over to comfort her.
"Tang Baozhu, are you alright?"
Tang Baozhu knew his purpose the moment he opened his mouth, and she wasn't surprised when he asked the question.
But how could anything happen to me? It's not like my grandfather really passed away; he's just a puppet, and he's still perfectly fine in the space right now.
Besides, even if I were to die, the puppet's life would be infinite, and it would be impossible for it to die. Rather than worrying about it, I should worry more about myself.
"I'm fine, Gu Han, is something the matter?"
“I’m fine. I heard about what happened to your grandfather. I want to tell you, don’t be sad, I will always be with you.”
Gu Han is a particularly sunny and cheerful boy. He is like a little sun, full of energy.
This is also why Tang Baozhu allowed him to linger around her; it felt as if he could dispel the desolation in her heart.
