Chapter 121 Chapter 121 Update

Secretary Yang felt the silence and stagnation of the scene. He was actually a little confused, but he didn't have the imagination to think that the two people in front of him knew each other, or even a couple. He just thought that one wanted to buy and the other didn't want to sell, and he froze for a moment.

So he quickly spoke to ease the atmosphere: "This is Professor Zeng's house, right? Excuse me, is Professor Zeng not at home? We were introduced by Minister Wang Qingshan, and he said that he had already made an appointment with your family. Comrade, do you think there is any misunderstanding here?"

How could they say they would sell the house, but suddenly they said they would not sell it?

Fu Mingze blinked, and his frozen thoughts finally turned around with difficulty.

Professor Zeng?

Where did Professor Zeng come from in their family?

It seems that they have indeed walked into the wrong door.

But it was his wife who went to the wrong door...it didn't seem like she went to the wrong door?

"Xiao Ze, is someone looking for Professor Zeng? Tell them they are looking for the wrong person. Old Zeng is in Courtyard No. 19." The old lady's voice rang in the room, "Oh, why can't I find the scarf that Moer gave me..."

Fu Mingze subconsciously looked at Shen Moer. Shen Moer blinked and looked at her husband again. Hmm, he was wearing a suit and tie, obviously going out.

She said: "Secretary Yang, it seems that we made a mistake. Since Professor Zeng is in Courtyard No. 19, let's go to No. 19."

After saying that, she turned around immediately.

No matter what the current situation is, now is indeed not a good time to face the in-laws...If they really meet, it will only make things more complicated.

"Oh, oh, oops, it's my fault. It's all my fault for not asking clearly. Comrade, I'm sorry. We went to the wrong door. Sorry for disturbing you!" Secretary Yang also reacted. He smiled and apologized to Fu Mingze, turned around and hurriedly followed Shen Moer.

Fu Mingze looked at his wife and turned away without saying hello: "..."

Obviously, they had a major trust crisis.

His wife saved her private money to buy a house without telling him, and he hid the fact that his family was a wealthy bourgeoisie from his wife... It seemed that his nature was more serious.

Fu Mingze had a headache and shouted, "Grandma, let Mingzhuo accompany you to Grandma Qiu. I suddenly have something urgent."

After that, he walked out of the house quickly without waiting for the old lady to respond.

The old lady poked her head out of the house: "What?"

Fu Mingzhuo, who was sitting in the living room reading a book, said: "My eldest brother said he has something urgent to do and will not accompany you to Grandma Qiu's house."

The old lady glared at him: "He also said that he wanted you to accompany me."

Fu Mingzhuo: "..."

Helplessly put down the book, muttering: "My eldest brother is really, grandma, just now a beautiful sister walked into the wrong door, my eldest brother stared at her for a long time, and when she left, he immediately abandoned you and followed her. My eldest brother is not going to change his mind and fall in love with someone else and abandon my eldest sister-in-law to become Chen Shimei, right?"

The old lady frowned: "Why How is it possible? Your elder brother is not that kind of person."

Fu Mingzhuo: "That's because you didn't see the way he looked at that sister. It was straight."

The old lady: "... You are just a little kid, what do you know?

Don't talk nonsense." Over there, Shen Moer and the others hurried out of Courtyard No. 9. Secretary Yang apologized as they walked: "Comrade Shen, I am so sorry. I made a mistake in the address due to negligence, but fortunately I figured it out and didn't cause any big misunderstanding. Courtyard No. 19 is not far away. We can just go there right now."

Indeed, there was no big misunderstanding.

It just seemed like some big lie was exposed.

Shen Moer kept smiling: "Well, it's okay, thank you Secretary Yang."

If it were someone else, today's incident would be as simple as accidentally getting on the wrong bus and getting on the next stop. It's just that today's mistake was too coincidental, and it caused Secretary Yang a trouble that he couldn't even imagine. Of course,

this can't be blamed on others.

Shen Moer's mind was actually a little confused, but she was not a girl who couldn't take responsibility, and she calmed down quickly.

Let's talk about other things later, the most important thing is to buy the house first.

The two walked quickly towards the No. 19 courtyard. Not long after, they heard footsteps behind them. Fu Mingze caught up with them: "Moer."

Secretary Yang looked at Fu Mingze in surprise, then turned back to look at Shen Moer. After a moment's hesitation, he asked: "Comrade Shen, so you two know each other?"

Shen Moer was silent for two seconds and said: "Yes, I know you, but not very well."

Fu Mingze: "..."

Shen Moer looked at Fu Mingze: "Comrade Fu, I have an appointment with Professor Zeng. Let's talk about it later."

Fu Mingze: "... I'll go with you."

Shen Moer thought for a while: "Okay, let's go."

Secretary Yang secretly glanced at the two of them, curiously guessing their relationship in his heart, but his face showed no expression.

When they arrived at the No. 19 courtyard, Professor Zeng, with gray hair, had been waiting at home. The old man's face was weathered. He looked at the slightly bleak yard in winter and sighed, "My children have been sent to Guangzhou and have settled down there. I don't want to go back to the capital anymore. I'm old, and if I could hold on, I could go back to my job and make some contributions. But unfortunately, I'm not in good health, so I'm thinking of selling the house and going to Guangzhou to reunite with my children."

"This house is our ancestral home. Logically, the inheritance left by our ancestors shouldn't be sold easily. But these things left by our ancestors have caused our family a lot of suffering. It's okay to sell them. What could be more important than a happy family reunion in peace and security?"

Professor Zeng knew Secretary Yang. He glanced past Secretary Yang and looked at Shen Moer and Fu Mingze, "I see that you two are both very good-looking people. I heard from Old Wang that he was successfully admitted to Capital University this time. It’s not bad to sell this house to you.”

Before Shen Moer and Fu Mingze could say anything, Secretary Yang had already clarified for them quickly: “Professor Zeng, you misunderstood. It was Comrade Shen who wanted to buy the house. This Mr. Fu is her friend and lives nearby, so he came to take a look.”

Fu Mingze: “…”

He glanced at Shen Moer, who did not deny it.

Professor Zeng looked at Fu Mingze carefully: “The last name is Fu. You are a child of the Fu family in No. 9 Courtyard, right? I know your elders, but I don’t recognize the children at all. Are you from Zhiyuan’s family or Boyuan’s family?”

Fu Mingze replied: “My father is Fu Zhiyuan.”

Professor Zeng sighed: "Your parents must have suffered a lot during these years of being sent down to the countryside, right? It's not easy for the whole family to live well. I heard that grandpa and grandma have been staying with your uncle in the border area these years? Your uncle is a nationally protected oil talent. The border area is quieter than the inland area, but the living environment is harsh. Well, it's good enough that you can survive it."

In terms of background, the Fu family is probably the worst in the area, but their Fu Boyuan is a nationally protected oil talent, and his family members acted decisively. Before everyone could react, some of them had left and some had dispersed. In the end, the whole family was saved.

Unlike some families, they stayed in the capital during the most chaotic times, and in the end...

Shen Moer glanced at Fu Mingze indifferently.

It was said that they were an ordinary working-class family, but the whole family is in the capital? What happened to the fact that my mother is in poor health, my younger brother is young, and my grandma is often sick, and the whole family has to live a hard life relying on meager wages? What happened to the fact that only my uncle's family is working as oil workers in the frontier?

Fu Mingze's scalp tingled, and he answered Professor Zeng with a stiff upper lip: "It's all luck."

Shen Moer smiled and said: "Not only luck, but also the wisdom to judge the situation, right?"

The word wisdom is emphasized.

Fu Mingze: "..."

Professor Zeng smiled: "Comrade Shen is right, judging the situation, these four words are not something that ordinary people can do."

Fu Mingze no longer had a temper, and the look he gave Shen Moer was a little pleading.

Professor Zeng did not continue to talk to Fu Mingze about his family affairs. After all, the main task today was to sell the house. He changed the subject and introduced his house to Shen Moer.

After taking Shen Moer to look around, Professor Zeng said, "This is the house. You may have to renovate it after you buy it. However, the materials used in this old house were very good. If you take good care of it, it can be passed down from generation to generation. I want 20,000 yuan. Someone gave me 18,000 yuan two days ago, but I didn't agree. I think Comrade Shen is a good person, and I feel relieved to sell the house to you, so I won't say much. I'll sell it to you for 18,000 yuan."

This price sounded like a sky-high price. After all, the small courtyard that Shen Moer bought before was only 800 yuan.

But the size of the house is very different. The small courtyard over there is just an ordinary small house, but this one is a large courtyard with three entrances inside and outside. The area of ​​the house is much different, not to mention that the geographical location here is also much better. It is said that this place is not far from the former imperial palace.

This location is similar to the palace where Shen Moer lived during the Daliang period. This kind of location has always been very expensive, and Shen Moer can naturally understand it.

Old Wang also helped them estimate the price in advance, and he also said it was about 20,000. Now they said they would give them 18,000, which is really fair.

Strictly speaking, they got a bargain at this price.

So Shen Moer did not bargain any more, but talked about payment: "We can take out about 10,000 in cash, and there are still 8,000..."

Fu Mingze said hurriedly: "I'll pay, I'll go home and get it."

Shen Moer looked at him and did not answer, but asked Professor Zeng: "The remaining 8,000, I wonder if I can give you the equivalent gold? I have correspondence with a friend in the United States, and he told me that the current gold price is linked to the American currency, and the international gold price is relatively stable. And as far as I know, Guangzhou is close to the port city, and people there prefer gold to currency."

"Don't worry that I'll cheat you with fake things. We can find professionals to appraise them. Besides, I bought your house. People can run away, but the house can't run away."

Fu Mingze looked at Shen Moer, and at this moment, his mind was a little confused. Not only could his wife take out 10,000 yuan in cash, but she also seemed to have a lot of gold in her hands.

Where did she get so much money?

Where did the gold come from?

Wasn't her family a poor peasant for three generations? Wasn't she so poor that she almost starved to death?

It couldn't have been earned in the past few years. Even if she was doing black market trading, she couldn't make so much money, let alone from the embroidery factory. She always set an example and would not even report a penny more for business trip reimbursement.

Fu Mingze looked at Shen Moer with a rare bewildered expression.

The person in front of him was obviously his daughter-in-law, but for some reason, he felt a little strange about her.

When Professor Zeng heard Shen Moer say that she wanted to use gold as collateral, his expression was a little surprised, but he quickly nodded: "It's okay, I believe you."

In fact, if he used gold as a discount, he would be getting an advantage.

As Shen Moer said, people in Guangzhou like gold more than currency. His son once wrote to him and said vaguely that there have always been people who have smuggled to escape to the port city opposite in recent years. Since the end of last year, the number of people fleeing to Hong Kong has suddenly increased sharply, and the black market gold price has risen a lot.

Taking the gold to Guangzhou might be more than eight thousand.

The two parties quickly negotiated and agreed to pay the money and transfer the ownership in the afternoon. Shen Moer and the others said goodbye and left, and Professor Zeng happily said that he would call his son to pick him up.

After walking out of the alley, Secretary Yang was sensitive to the fact that his presence seemed a bit redundant. He said very tactfully that he would go back to work first and come back in the afternoon to accompany Shen Moer to handle the formalities. Fu Mingze directly refused and told him not to come in the afternoon, he would just accompany her to handle the formalities.

Secretary Yang looked at the handsome man in front of him, and complained in his heart that he was so arrogant before, saying "please go back as if your family is short of money", why is he so sticky now, and looked at Shen Moer with a smile, waiting for Shen Moer's reply.

The job that Minister Wang gave him was to help Comrade Shen, so of course he listened to Comrade Shen.

Shen Moer smiled and said, "Secretary Yang, I really trouble you today. I don't need to waste your time in the afternoon. The transfer procedure is not difficult. I can do it myself."

Secretary Yang heard that Comrade Shen felt that he could handle it by himself and didn't need anyone to accompany him.

He didn't force it and said, "If you have any questions, please call our unit at any time. I'm not busy these two days and can help you anytime."

Shen Moer thanked him again, said goodbye to him at the entrance of the alley, and walked to the bus stop at the other end.

Fu Mingze followed silently, asking as they walked: "When did you arrive in the capital? Did your father and daughter come too? Why didn't you call me when you arrived in the capital so that I could pick you up?"

Shen Moer paused and said: "Didn't you say that the phone number was from your father's workshop? I was afraid that if I called, he would be late for work."

Fu Mingze: "...It was the phone number at home. I wanted to wait for you to call, and then I would talk to you in person after I picked you up."

Shen Moer turned her head to look at him, smiling: "What did you say? That your father is not a worker, and your family is not poor. That the tattered clothes you wore in Yangliu Brigade were bought from beggars on the street?"

Fu Mingze: "...Those were my own clothes, but, I just had a few extra patches."

Shen Moer: "Oh."

It turned out to be a specially made "costume".

They walked to the bus stop, and suddenly someone shouted: "Fu Mingze, what are you doing?"

Fu Mingze looked in the direction of the voice and saw Dai Mingxuan riding a bicycle over: "What are you doing, wearing this to squeeze into the bus, are you mentally ill?"

Fu Mingze: "Don't worry about it."

Dai Mingxuan: "What do you mean don't worry about it, I saw you following a beautiful girl from a distance, you can't do this, my sister-in-law is coming to the capital soon, you want to be Chen Shimei?"

Dai Mingxuan pedaled his bicycle She was stopped by Fu Mingze, who said righteously: "Fu Mingze, even if my sister-in-law is a country girl, since she was admitted to Capital University, she must be an educated and intelligent girl. She is also very outstanding. You can't be a heartless and treacherous man. I must keep an eye on you for my sister-in-law!"

The bus had already arrived. Shen Moer quickly squeezed into the bus. Looking back, she saw Fu Mingze was entangled by Dai Mingxuan, and looked like she wanted to get out but couldn't. She couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Soon, the car started and drove away slowly. Shen Moer leaned out of the window and shouted:

"Comrade, I thank you on behalf of your sister-in-law!"

Dai Mingxuan looked back and was immediately happy: "Look, look at how much the girl has realized!"

Fu Mingze, who was blocked by bicycles and the crowd and watched his wife being taken away by the bus: "..."

He stared at the idiot in front of him and said coldly: "That's your sister-in-law."

Dai Mingxuan: "Ah?!"

He turned around and looked at the bus that was getting farther and farther away: "..." He

quickly turned the steering wheel of the bicycle, pedaled the bicycle with all his strength like a Hot Wheels, and quickly fled the scene.

At that moment, Fu Mingze's eyes told him that if he stayed there, Fu Mingze might kick him under the wheels of the bus.

No, your wife dumped you, go find your wife!
