The car circled around the east of the city and stopped at an area where courtyard houses were concentrated.
It is said that this area was once where only the high-ranking officials of the imperial court lived. Now it is in a state of chaos, with many families living in one courtyard.
The cars were parked in an open area, and Wu Chao was left to guard them. How could he feel safe leaving them parked outside? Furthermore, they were borrowed public vehicles, and if anything went wrong, they would have to pay for it.
Walking into the alley, the cold winter month with no sunlight and the air becoming even colder.
Some courtyard houses have open gates, so you can see what's inside at a glance. There are all kinds of things hanging on the walls, including clothes, socks, shoes, rags, and in short, all the washed items are hung on ropes on the walls. The originally prime courtyards have been turned into unsightly garbage dumps.
“What a pity.”
Yan Rushan lowered his head and saw her looking at a courtyard and muttering to herself, her eyes full of regret.
"It's not a pity. Many people have taken back their yards during this period. I think it will be tidied up and everything will get better and better."
"Really?" Zhong Yuxiu nodded, remembering the later records that after people were rehabilitated, their property would be returned. "You've been hanging around this area for years, do you know anyone willing to sell a courtyard house?"
Cao Zheng and the others who were walking in front looked back. Cao Zheng said, "Sister-in-law, do you want to buy a courtyard house?"
"Well, a courtyard like this will surely be elegant once it's tidied up." Just like when she was a lady, she could spend her days beautifully, painting, playing chess, and playing the piano, spending her days leisurely. Isn't such a good life perfect for her retirement? "Even if I can't live there now, I can decorate it well and relax here during my downtime, and live the life I've always dreamed of when I'm old. A courtyard like this would be just right."
Most of the houses in this area are large courtyards with three or four entrances. They have been restored to their original appearance, where you can enjoy the scenery, flowers and fish; it is beautiful just by thinking about it.
The four of them looked around the courtyard houses and suddenly felt that what Zhong Yuxiu said was right; their families were all well-off and were active in the black market business, so they could still spare 10,000 or 20,000 yuan and buy the house for future vacation use.
The key is to have your own house. In the future, you can enjoy yourself as much as you want without having to look at your parents' faces in the compound.
"Sister-in-law, you're absolutely right. Why didn't I think of that?" Cao Zheng was the most excited, with a glint of eagerness in his eyes. "Sister-in-law, what kind of courtyard house do you want to buy? I'll go ask around for you."
"I don't need you." Yan Rushan gave him a cold look and said to Yuxiu, "I'll tell you when I have news in a couple of days."
"Okay, I have a lot of money, so show me two more. If they are all good, I will buy them all." It's the end of the month and the dividends will be paid soon. I will use part of it for charity and part of it to buy a yard. I will buy it first and then tinker with it slowly.
Yan Rushan nodded, his eyes slightly warm, "Okay."
Cao Zheng curled his lips, "Boss, you can't do this! If your sister-in-law wants you to buy it directly and give it to her, wouldn't it be better?"
"stupid."
Yan Rushan was not polite and retorted.
Cao Zheng felt terrible. What did he say to deserve being hurt like this?
"Boss, you have the opposite sex but no humanity."
Yan Rushan didn't bother to pay attention to him. Zhong Yuxiu clasped her hands in front of her stomach and laughed so hard that her body shook. If one of the funny guys didn't catch up, there was still Cao Zheng.
"Well, no matter what something is, no matter how good it is, it has to be liked by its owner. When I buy a yard, of course I have to find one that I like and that pleases my eyes. If I just buy a house casually, should I sell it if I don't like it in the future? There's no need for that." She is not short of money. If she wants to buy something, she should buy what she likes to avoid trouble later.
"Let's go." Yan Rushan took her hand and walked straight forward, passing Cao Zheng and others.
Cheng Minglang followed behind, and Lin Kai also followed; Luo San stopped Cao Zheng and pulled him forward with his arm around his shoulder.
Cao Zheng muttered in dissatisfaction in the back, "Hey, what do you guys mean by this, Boss? I'm giving him advice out of kindness, why is he still stubborn with me?"
"I told you you're stupid, but you still don't believe me." Luo Lijun sneered, "Why should we ask so much about the affairs between the eldest brother and his wife? Isn't it better for the young couple to discuss their affairs? Why do you have to interfere?"
"I...I'm doing this for the boss's own good."
Luo Lijun was stunned and asked with a stern face, "Are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious." Cao Zheng nodded.
"Seriously? The boss is looking for opportunities to spend more time with the eldest sister-in-law. What kind of stupid ideas are you coming up with? Use your brain." Luo Lijun let go of his hand in disgust. Don't let him lead you astray.
Cao Zheng was confused. "What do you mean? Are you insulting me?"
"Take off the back part." Lin Kai turned around and patted his shoulder, then turned around and left.
Cheng Minglang looked back at him, shook his head, and said coldly, "Smart people are always misled by their own smartness."
Cao Zheng touched his head and felt terrible. What happened? He was suddenly disliked by all his brothers.
"Hey, you guys mean I shouldn't say anything, then I won't say anything in the future. With the little tricks that the boss has, when will he ever be able to win the beauty? Look at how the eldest sister-in-law isn't that warm to the boss now, but the boss is quite warm on his own."
"That's between the young couple." Cheng Minglang said angrily.
Lin Kai chuckled, "That's enough! Don't think about it. You have such a smart brain, but you've used all your shrewdness in business. You're still a little lacking in social skills. Even if you date a lot of people, they can't stand you being such a fool."
"You're the fool."
Cao Zheng was so angry that he wanted to curse, but he quickly restrained himself from saying it. "All my previous girlfriends, as long as I gave them gifts, they would be so happy that they couldn't wait to marry me."
"Is my sister-in-law one of those women?" Luo Lijun sighed. "No! What's the boss's taste? What's yours? Can you compare?"
I feel like I've been humiliated again, and I have evidence.
Being disliked by his brothers one after another, Cao Zheng began to question his life. "What's wrong with the people I dated? The reason you disliked them so much is that they were just a little short-sighted, cunning, and clever, Dell..."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said it, but as soon as Cao Zheng mentioned it, he felt something was wrong.
"I understand now. Those women are very different from my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law is at the pinnacle of her life by relying on herself. How can those women compare with her?" Women who rely on men and women who are self-reliant have been different since ancient times.
"Well, you have some brains."
Luo Lijun's ambiguous words made Cao Zheng so angry that he simply stopped talking to them; didn't he just treat his sister-in-law like those women? Did they really despise him like stinky dog shit?
People doing things?
After turning several times in the alleys, Zhong Yuxiu carefully memorized the way and stopped at the courtyard house in the middle of the fifth alley. This courtyard house was not very big. Compared with other large courtyard houses, it was barely one and a half in size. It could even be said to be very inconspicuous among the many courtyard houses.
The gate is old and the paint is peeling, the walls are bumpy and look very dilapidated.
