The 35th day of being eavesdropped
Gu Jinshui went to the Housing Reform Bureau to ask about the house.
They said there were no houses with single doors, but there were many single rooms in large courtyards, some for rent and some for sale.
Gu Jinshui shook his head when he heard it. He suddenly remembered what the lady said, so he asked, "Then are there any courtyard houses that are sold as a whole?"
The woman in the Housing Reform Bureau was a older woman, a bit older, knitting a sweater.
Hearing this, the elder sister looked up at him and laughed, "You are right to ask about the whole courtyard house. Recently, someone wants to sell two houses, but one house is very big and expensive, a few tens of thousands, can you afford it?"
"Whether you can afford it or not, go and have a look, it will be good to broaden your horizons."
Gu Jinshui took out a snack ticket from his pocket and handed it to the elder sister without saying a word.
The elder sister took a look and quickly put it into her sleeve, her face was not red, and her heart was not beating, "That's right, anyway, I have nothing to do now, Xiaolin, you guys watch, I will take this male comrade to see the house."
The others agreed and looked at Gu Jinshui with some curiosity.
There are not many people who want to buy a Siheyuan these days. Everyone is waiting for the company to allocate housing. But what is so good about Siheyuan? The building is spacious, with lights and telephones upstairs and downstairs.
Everyone thinks that Gu Jinshui is just looking for fun, and so is the elder sister. However, she took Gu Jinshui for a stroll.
The two Siheyuans are both in Haidian District. One is in a good location, close to Tsinghua University, and the other is a little off, both in Fengtai District.
Gu Jinshui bought a bottle of soda for the elder sister, and the two of them strolled around the house without feeling tired.
The elder sister pointed at the house near Tsinghua University and said, "This house is good. It has two courtyards. Look at the surrounding environment. There are trees, flowers and grass. It will be convenient for your children to study in the future. There are many junior high schools and high schools around, as well as a university."
"Then this house is not cheap, right?"
Gu Jinshui asked tentatively.
The elder sister smiled and said, "Think about it. Such a good location, such a big house. This house used to be a government office. It is well maintained. It is not like other courtyards that are messy. This whole courtyard is at least this amount."
She gestured with her hand to number six.
Gu Jinshui was of course not stupid. He knew that this was 60,000 yuan.
His heart skipped a beat.
60,000 yuan, he always thought he was rich, but after buying a house, he realized that the little money his family had was just a small amount.
Sixty thousand yuan? Ordinary people would have to go without food and drink for many years to save up
that much. The elder sister saw Gu Jinshui's expression and knew that he couldn't afford it, so she said, "We are just looking for something new. Ordinary people can't afford it. But those overseas Chinese are rich and can afford it. A while ago, a Chinese bought a courtyard house from you and paid 50,000 yuan in one go. He didn't even blink an eye."
"That's because overseas Chinese are rich. It's a big deal for ordinary people like us to save 10,000 yuan."
Gu Jinshui sighed.
"Who said it wasn't?" The older sister also felt the same way. She took Gu Jinshui to the one closer to Fengtai and said, "This one is cheaper, but it's still 28,000, and it's smaller than the previous one. But the price of this one is negotiable. I think it can be cheaper by 4,000
or 5,000." "What do you mean by that?"
Gu Jinshui asked in confusion.
The elder sister took him around to the back and pointed at the backyard. "This was originally a three-yard house, but the backyard was occupied by someone else, and the whole family lived in the backyard. It was okay before when it was a government office, but now it has been cleared out and returned to the previous owner. Those people can't be driven away, and they are a whole family, and they are all cheating. If you drive them away, they will say they will take the whole family to the police station and hang them. How can you say that this is too much trouble? There is no other way. The person simply sold the house, but the property rights are not a problem. It's just this backyard, it's not easy to mess with it."
The elder sister hinted that it's best not to buy this house.
They say that you spend a lot of money to buy neighbors, and it's really lively to meet such a bad neighbor family.
Gu Jinshui nodded, thanked the elder sister, asked someone to look out for the small courtyard with a private entrance, and gave her two yuan, which made the elder sister feel embarrassed.
The elder sister thought for a while and said, "What's the point of buying this house?"
"It really does matter. It's best to be close to our third clothing factory. There are several grandparents and grandchildren. The granddaughter works in the factory. It's safer for the family to be close. I'll trouble you to take care of this matter."
Gu Jinshui said quickly.
Buying a house may be a lifelong matter, and you can't just be careless.
The elder sister said, "Okay, I'll go back and ask my colleagues, maybe there are some clues."
Gu Jinshui thanked her repeatedly, praising the elder sister like a bodhisattva. The elder sister was so flattered and helpless that she really had to help her.
When he was hurrying home,
Gu Jinshui just walked past the east room and saw Liang Renyi sitting in their room.
He was happy in his heart, and then he saw Song Jianshe came out and closed the door.
Gu Jinshui raised his eyebrows and hummed a little tune: "Hearing the report from the prince, my family was furious. Bao Zheng is really annoying. Why did he send a mule to Kaifeng for some inside information..."
This is the song sung by the Queen Mother in Qin Xianglian. The old lady will perform next week. She has been singing at home these days and humming while cooking.
Gu Jinshui remembered it after hearing it once. He opened the curtains and saw his sister squatting on the kang in the east room with her concubine in her arms, leaning against the window to peek.
"What are you looking at?"
Gu Jinshui took off his hat and gloves, "Are you thieves in broad daylight?"
Gu Yinxing rolled her eyes at him, "You are the thief, I am surprised, didn't you see whose house Liang Renyi was in?"
Gu Jinshui smiled and said, "You saw it, your eyes are sharp enough."
"Sharp what? Liang Renyi had a loud voice when he entered the backyard just now, and I was woken up by the noise even though I was taking care of your baby in the backyard. Liang Renyi was holding a box of snacks in his hand!"
Gu Yinxing was a little indignant when she said this.
Liang Renyi's family has been asking for money from their Gu family for money over the years, but they always came empty-handed, including last night. Today, they knew to bring something when they went to see Song Jianshe.
Isn't this bullying their family?
Gu Jinshui laughed and went over to look at the window. But he found that all the doors and windows were closed and he could not see anything.
Gu Yinxing pursed her lips and smiled secretly.
Gu Jinshui glared at her, "What nonsense, are you kidding your brother?"
"Can't you see it just now? You came over and closed the doors and windows."
Gu Yinxing handed the child to Gu Jinshui, sat lazily on the kang, peeled boiled peanuts on the kang table, "Hey, what do you think his family wants to find Song Jianshe for?"
"What's the matter? It's nothing good."
Gu Jinshui knew it well, after all, he was the one who fueled the fire.
"Jianshe, our two families have been friends for many years, just tell me directly if you can help with this matter."
Liang Renyi said with a shameless face, which was very impolite.
Song Jianshe cursed in his heart. He was already frustrated enough after being suspended from work and staying at home, and he even came to cause trouble with Liang Renyi. What kind of friendship?
Isn't it just when Liang Renyi brought his wife and children to Gu's house, they nodded to each other when they met, and they didn't interact much at other times. If it was someone else, Song Jianshe could just ask him to leave, but not Liang Renyi.
You can say he is guilty or he is just trying to save face.
Song Jianshe really can't just turn him down easily.
But he didn't want to lend the money out too straightforwardly, so he took out his pocket with a wry smile, "Brother Liang, look at me, I don't have much money, I haven't been working recently, and my family depends on my wife to support me. I'm happy for your family to go abroad, but my family has no money."
No money?
Liang Renyi sneered in his heart.
He robbed the treasure of his old Liang family and came back to cry.
He smiled and said, "I believe other people have no money, but your family has no money, Jianshe, what you said is not right, don't you have that yellow croaker at home?"
Song Jianshe's heart skipped a beat.
He looked nervous, grabbing his trousers with his fingers, "What small yellow croaker? My family didn't buy any fish."
"Don't pretend, we all know how your small yellow croaker came here."
Liang Renyi sneered, "If you are honest, lend me some, this matter will be easy to deal with. If you are not honest, I will go back to the police station to report it. When they find it, it will be a big fuss." When
Song Jianshe heard this, he was instantly furious. The veins on his neck bulged, and his teeth clenched. Seeing Liang Renyi's eyes, he wanted to eat him.
Liang Renyi clapped his hands in his heart when he saw him like this.
He was right!
They were the ones who did what happened that night!
Good guys.
They took his Liang family's things and didn't say a word. They are really a dog that bites but doesn't bark!
"What do you mean, are you going to give it to me or not? If not, I'll go to the police station."
Liang Renyi stood up, staggering, with a smug look on his fat face, "When the police find the things, you have to think about how to explain it. You have to have a story about how you got it. If you can't explain it clearly, then you go to jail!"
"You!"
Song Jianshe was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He wanted to punch Liang Renyi in the face.
"Dad!" Song Chaohua came out of the house, lifted the curtain, and looked like an innocent little girl: "My brother is crying, come in and change his diaper."
She gave Song Jianshe a look.
Song Jianshe's eyes turned, and he stood up and said, "You sit down first, I'll go in and take care of the kids, and we'll discuss it when I come out."
"Okay, okay." Liang Renyi nodded, and he opened the box of snacks himself, picked up a piece of donkey roll and put it into his mouth. He
really doesn't consider himself an outsider at all.
Song Jianshe gritted his teeth and went into the inner room.
Song Chaohua pulled him to the kang, "Dad,
why don't we agree to him!" "Do you know what he said and you agreed to him?!" Song Jianshe was stunned, and shook off Song Chaohua's hand angrily, "Don't worry about family affairs."
"Dad, it's not like we can't get it back after borrowing it!"
Song Chaohua lowered his voice, "Liang Renyi and his friends are going abroad, and we have to exchange the things we get for money, so we can rob them."
Song Jianshe was stunned and touched his chin. This is really a good idea!
