"He was a manager under Master Wu. He embezzled money and passed off inferior goods as good ones. I heard that Master Wu has already dealt with him."
"Mr. Wu is really ruthless in his actions!" Lu Jun sighed with a click of his tongue!
"Who among those who have experienced such great hardships can be a good person? We must be more cautious in the future. If Guo'er hadn't thought it through carefully beforehand, it would not have been easy to investigate."
Lu Jun nodded in agreement. He was really scared this time!
"Look at how smelly you are! Go upstairs and wash up and go back quickly, so that grandpa and aunt won't have to worry about them when they come back." Wen Guoer urged with disgust.
Su Xing smiled awkwardly and went upstairs to take a shower.
When they came out, Wen Guoer had already "conjured" out a lot of food for them to take back.
It seems that both of them have lost a lot of weight recently. We need to give them some nutrition. They are two good money-makers!
The next day, Wen Guoer went to Han Wei's place. They had agreed to buy the courtyard house last time, but the money had not been paid yet.
Victor Han had already completed the transfer procedures and handed the relevant certificates to her. Wen Guoer handed him the 3,800 yuan she brought.
Although Han Wei didn't want to accept it, but Wen Guoer was determined, so he had to obey.
Looking at the address on the property certificate, Wen Guoer couldn't help but want to go and take a look! After leaving Han Wei's house, she ran towards that yard.
This is a standard two-entry courtyard house, very similar to the one Han Wei and his family live in now.
The gatehouse is a bit dilapidated, but the general structure is still there and the carvings are still preserved. With a little repair, it should be able to restore its original appearance.
There are five back rooms in the first courtyard, and the second courtyard is located after crossing the hanging flower gate.
The courtyard is square, with a three-room main house and an annex on each side. The east and west wings each have three rooms, and a veranda in front of the two wings connects the annex and main house, for a total of sixteen rooms, and the architectural structure is well preserved.
In later generations, the price of a courtyard house in this area would easily be in the nine digits, not to mention such a well-preserved ancient building.
But ever since she saw Wu Ye's set, she always felt that it was a little lacking! Speaking of vision, it really is something that can be compared! And the more you compare, the more dissatisfied you become!
She claimed that she was not a materialistic person, but she still longed for that seven-story courtyard.
But she also knew that even in this era, seven-story courtyards were rare and hard to come by! It all depended on whether she had the opportunity.
It was already past noon when she came out of the courtyard. She thought about taking a walk around the black market to look for the child who gave her the big yellow croaker.
So, she found a deserted place, slipped into the space, took some food from the kitchen, filled her stomach, drove the jeep out of the space, and drove to her destination.
The journey was smooth. When she arrived near the black market, she parked her jeep and rode a bicycle.
This should be the Third Ring Road in later generations, and the surrounding environment is very similar to a small village in later generations.
Looking ahead, under the big tree, some elderly people were gathered together chatting. She walked forward with a smile:
"Auntie, I'd like to ask if there's anyone around here whose parents are gone and only has a child left at home?"
When the old people heard the question, they all looked at her with vigilance in their eyes.
"You're not here to snatch the house from Xiaojie, are you?" One of the aunties looked her up and down and said with contempt.
"Rob the house?" Wen Guo'er was puzzled. Judging from their reactions, she guessed they must have misunderstood!
"Well, I met that kid once, and he said he hadn't had a full meal in a while, so I wanted to bring him something."
As he spoke, he casually pointed to the bag on the back of the bicycle and thought to himself, it's a good thing I prepared some things in advance.
The aunt followed her direction and looked towards the back seat. Sure enough, she saw a bulging bag. She spoke softly, and it seemed she wasn't from the same group as the group that had come that morning. She pointed to the alley ahead:
"The third house down this alley is Xiaojie's." He looked at her again and said warily, "Don't get any bad intentions! Xiaojie may be the only one left at home, but with everyone around, he's not someone who can be bullied by anyone!"
Wen Guoer smiled and nodded, pushing the cart towards the alley.
This alley is paved with bluestone and looks spacious and clean.
She counted the gates, walked to the third door, and parked her bicycle.
The solemn black lacquered door was closed. She walked forward and knocked on the lion-faced door knocker.
Soon, there were subtle and hesitant footsteps from inside, but the door did not open for a long time.
"Is this Xiaojie's house? I'm your sister who exchanged food for you that night." Wen Guoer had a feeling that Xiaojie should be behind the door, and seemed to have some concerns.
As he finished speaking, there was indeed movement inside. The lever inside was opened, and a gap appeared in the door.
"It's really you!" The boy's clear eyes peeked out from the crack of the door, saw who it was, and opened the door directly.
Wen Guoer smiled and ruffled his soft hair: "Can I come in?"
Xiaojie moved aside and made way for the door obediently: "Sister, please come in."
This is a very large courtyard with rooms on all four sides, and the courtyard is paved with blue bricks.
"I brought you some food." Wen Guoer parked the car, opened the bag on the back seat, and said to Xiaojie who was following behind.
Looking at the bag of food, Xiaojie frowned: "But, I don't have anything to exchange with you..."
Wen Guoer actually saw the word "sorrow" on his face!
It is said that young people do not know the taste of sorrow, but the boy's expression perfectly interprets the feeling of sorrow.
"No need to give me anything else. You gave me too much last time. These are not enough to repay me. I will send you more in the future."
Seeing that he really lived alone, Wen Guoer gave up the idea of ​​returning the gold bars. These days, cold things are not as practical as keeping you well fed and clothed!
