Chapter 58: Lack of Great Virtue
For this trip, Jiang Yu called a taxi from the hotel, perhaps to increase the hotel's value, or perhaps because she was staying in the top-floor suite.
The hotel's car is much better than a taxi and more comfortable to sit in.
Shuanzi had only ridden in rickshaws before. Later, when his family was better off, he had a bicycle, but this was the first time he had ridden in a car.
For fear of being disliked, Shuanzi didn't dare to sit completely on the seat. His upper body was straight and he didn't lean forward.
After finally arriving at the destination, as soon as the car stopped, Shuanzi got out quickly and opened the door for Jiang Yu.
I patted my chest in my heart. Fortunately, I saw how the driver operated it, otherwise I wouldn’t even know how to open the car door.
Shuanzi was indeed familiar with the city. After knowing Jiang Yu's request, the first house he took her to see was actually in the Second Ring Road.
The courtyard house is very close to the Forbidden City, only a dozen minutes' walk away.
When Jiang Yu saw the house, she raised her eyebrows. She really didn't expect that Shuanzi could find a house in such a good location.
But now that she has seen it, I must take it. It will be suitable for investment or living here in the future.
Shuanzi probably had communicated with the homeowner, so as soon as they arrived, he went to find the homeowner and took them in to see the house.
This quadrangle courtyard is indeed well preserved, with a gorgeously decorated gate. It is the highest-level royal palace gate among all the quadrangle courtyard gates.
The layout inside is a very orthodox courtyard layout, and the craftsmanship of carvings and paintings is very exquisite and beautiful.
The yard is also large, with three courtyards and more than thirty rooms.
When the time comes, I can move in with my besties, and even if they have children, it will definitely not be crowded.
Thinking about this, Jiang Yu looked calm on the outside, but in her heart she was becoming more and more satisfied.
This courtyard is well tidy except that the owner of the garden probably has no interest in it and has not taken good care of it, but other places are well tidy.
After buying it, ask a professional to design the garden and courtyard. It will definitely look much better than it does now.
"What do you think, boss?"
The landlord saw that Jiang Yu was young and calm. After looking around, his expression did not change significantly, so he could only ask.
"Uncle, how much do you want for this courtyard house?" Jiang Yu is in a buyer's market, so she naturally won't easily express her love.
Otherwise, a smile or a satisfied nod could be worth hundreds of dollars.
The landlord was unsure of Jiang Yu's intention, but he didn't want to miss her.
The landlord also has a good eye. The clothes and jewelry that Jiang Yu wears can buy two or three houses, and she also has a secretary with her.
In addition, I learned on the way that Jiang Yu had just returned from overseas.
The homeowner and his family are planning to move overseas, so it doesn't matter who sells the house to.
If by selling Jiang Yu I could get access to her overseas connections, that would be a pleasant surprise.
Thinking about this, the homeowner named a fair price.
"38,000! If the boss has US dollars and small yellow croakers, he can reduce another thousand."
Considering the situation of this courtyard house, the price is indeed reasonable, Jiang Yu nodded.
Zhang Yun used U.S. dollars to trade with the landlord. When the landlord saw the U.S. dollars, he happily went with Zhang Yun to handle the relevant procedures.
Before leaving, I didn't forget to give Shuanzi some money according to the rules.
"You kid, you really met a noble person this time." The landlord patted Shuanzi on the shoulder and sighed.
Shuanzi blushed, scratched his head and smiled, feeling happy at the thought that he could use the money to buy some nutritional supplements for his mother.
The homeowner was probably in a hurry to leave with his family, so he used some connections and the formalities were completed quickly. By the time Jiang Yu actually got the key, she was in a very good mood.
I went to see Zhou Xiao and brought flowers to replace the previous bouquet.
When Jiang Yu went to see other courtyards, a disgusting thing happened in Xiaohe Village. It was disgusting in the literal sense.
For Zhou Tinghuai, the enamel factory was entrusted to him by Jiang Yu, his future sister-in-law, because she trusted him.
So after the factory started operating, since his wife was not at home, he simply moved directly to the construction site to sleep at night so that he could keep an eye on things.
After all, bricks, cement and other things are very valuable. Although I believe that the villagers will not steal them, it is better to be safe than sorry.
Who would have thought that no one was stealing anything, but someone was even more unethical and was throwing manure water on the construction site.
Zhou Tinghuai was guarding the construction site and had a hard time sleeping. When he smelled the pungent odor, he woke up in an instant.
I turned over and saw a sneaky little devil spreading feces everywhere. He walked over to me and pinned me to the ground.
When the sun rose, everyone in the village knew that the grandson that the Li family was anxiously looking for had run to the factory construction site late at night to throw manure water, and was caught red-handed by Zhou Tinghuai.
This is an extremely unethical thing to do, but the villagers are looking forward to it very much. They go to the factory every day to check on its progress. It is their hope for better days.
Even though the person who did this was a little kid, they did not take it lightly, nor did they listen to the Li family's words that the kids were just playing around, and they went straight to the town to make a scene.
They felt disgusted, but they were more worried that if they didn't show their attitude towards this matter, Jiang Yu would find out and if she got angry and didn't recruit people from their village into the factory, that would be a big deal.
When the news reached the town, Mayor Gu called Zheng Shu in a cold sweat and asked how to deal with the matter.
He never thought that some of the villagers in Xiaohe Village, who seemed to be honest and actively participating in the construction of the factory, would do such a disgusting thing.
If it's just children playing around, it's just fooling around, who would believe it?
He was just a seven or eight-year-old child. If no one had said something, how could he have stayed up late at night and run to the construction site to throw manure water?
Shortly after Zheng Shu received the call, he brought the police and Mayor Gu to Xiaohe Village.
The incident of throwing feces water could be a big or small matter, but such a terrible incident happened just after the foreign capital came here to build a factory. If it is not handled properly, this matter will become a big problem.
Therefore, it is better to get rid of the problem as soon as possible and then use deterrence to prevent such things from happening again.
With two leaders and police officers on duty, even an adult would be scared, let alone a child.
Xiaobo didn't even hold out for a few minutes before he started crying and confessed how Shen Hui had coaxed him with biscuits and how she had thrown manure water on the factory site.
Shen Hui expected that Xiaobo would not be able to hold on for long, but what she did not expect was that the matter would be brought to the attention of the leaders.
When the police came to her door, she pinched her palms tightly, remained calm, and refused to admit anything.
"After I married into the family, I didn't have a good relationship with my sister-in-law and Xiaobo. How could I possibly coax Xiaobo into doing such a disgusting thing? If I wanted to do it, wouldn't it be more convenient for me, an adult?"
The villagers who came over thought it made some sense.
“Yeah, if it was Erya Shen who did this, why let the child go, wouldn’t that just be giving it to someone to catch.”
After hearing this, Shen Hui calmed down and, according to the original plan, pretended to look at Yang Chunyan unintentionally.
"Sister-in-law, that night I heard you say that Brother Changjun couldn't go to build the factory, and that Comrade Jiang and Zhou Tinghuai were blind. You wouldn't let the children throw manure water at the construction site just because of this, right?"
Yang Chunyan was about to hug her frightened son, but when she heard these words, she could no longer maintain her weak image.
"What nonsense are you talking about! When did I ever say that?"
"Whether my sister-in-law said it or not, then let's just leave it alone."
Shen Hui looked at her hesitantly, wanting to say something, and followed her example by hiding behind Li Changjun, which made Yang Chunyan feel very uncomfortable.
