Chapter 414 I really don’t want to get into trouble
This was the first time Xu Yan had entered the yard since she had helped level the vegetable field last time. She kept nodding her head as soon as she entered.
"An An, it's better for you to clean up this yard. This place was really messed up before!"
"This is our own home, we have to tidy it up!"
"But now, it's still incomparable to before!"
Shen Anan smiled and brought out a glass of honey water from the house, and sat on the stone bench under the grape tree with Xu Yan.
The only regret is that the flowers and plants in the yard have basically been destroyed.
Now when Shen Anan was cleaning the house, she also transplanted some of them again, but because of the short time, they don’t look as good as before.
Especially the grape tree, which had only grown one vine, and the grape rack was empty. It was far from the effect she had imagined of enjoying the coolness under the shade of trees.
"By the way, Aunt Xu, where is the yard you heard about for sale? I happen to be free today, so if it's suitable, I can go take a look this afternoon!"
When Xu Yan came in, she saw the barbed wire and tiles on the courtyard wall at a glance, and she began to think a little.
Now that Shen Anan asked, he decided not to keep it a secret and spoke immediately.
"An An, to be honest with you, the family that wants to sell the house is none other than the Cao family next door!"
After Xu Yan's narration, Shen Anan finally knew what had happened to the Cao family recently.
It turned out that since Shen Anan suddenly came back last time and uncovered the Cao family's affairs, the Cao family had to pay compensation and their financial resources were cut off.
The daughters-in-law had a big fight over the issue of compensation, and in the end it was only after the old couple from the Cao family took out money to fill the gap that the dispute was settled.
However, it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Without financial resources, only the eldest and second sons had jobs, so the others naturally could not survive.
The old couple of the Cao family wanted the eldest and second sons to help the other brothers. After all, they are a family, and they can't just watch their family members starve to death!
But unexpectedly, the problem was not solved, but the two daughters-in-law threatened to divorce.
The remaining unemployed people also felt that it was unfair for the old couple of the Cao family to give the jobs to the eldest and second sons in the first place.
At the beginning, the old couple of the Cao family helped to mediate the conflicts and used their own savings to support everyone. Although there were frictions, at least no big trouble occurred.
But the old couple's money was not an inexhaustible gold mountain. After being exploited by their sons and daughters-in-law, it was soon all gone.
Once there is no money, the short-lived peace at home can no longer be maintained.
Two days ago, a quarrel among several sons in the family escalated into a fight over a trivial matter, and one of them almost had his brains beaten out of his head.
Several young men only suffered minor injuries, but old man Cao, who tried to stop the fight, was pushed down and not only broke his leg but also hit his head. He was sent to the hospital on the same day.
But since he was admitted to the hospital, the old man's injuries were quite serious, and the most important problem was the medical expenses.
But no matter how Mrs. Cao begged her sons, none of them was willing to pay.
Finally, Mrs. Cao had no other choice but to cry in front of the neighborhood office. The people in the neighborhood office did lend her some money, but it was not a long-term solution.
So, they thought of selling their yard.
After Xu Yan finished speaking, she sighed and said, "Alas, they are all unfilial descendants!"
"You didn't see it. Mrs. Cao is usually a bitch, but when she went to the neighborhood office that day, she cried so hard that she almost passed out!"
"Now she wants to sell the yard as soon as possible, cure the old man's illness, and then go back to her hometown."
"After all, looking at her sons, none of them can be trusted." After Xu Yan finished speaking, she looked at Shen Anan a little embarrassedly.
"An An, I know that there is some rift between you and the Cao family because of what happened before, and I don't want to trouble you with this matter."
"But Old Man Cao is still in the hospital waiting for medical expenses. This house needs to be sold as soon as possible, but it is really hard to find a buyer, so Aunt Xu wanted to ask you if you are interested!"
"But because I was in a hurry to sell it, the price was quite reasonable, only 1,800 yuan."
In fact, if Mrs. Cao hadn't gone to the street office to cry every day, she wouldn't have wanted to get involved in this trivial matter.
Even if she was in urgent need of money, it would not be easy to find a buyer who could pay nearly two thousand dollars at a time!
She knew that the only person who wanted to buy a house was Shen Anan, but the Cao family had offended her severely before.
Oh, what a fuss! If she were to say, what happened to the Cao family could be considered retribution!
Shen Anan thought about the Cao family yard she had seen before, which was actually larger than the yard they were in now.
However, the house has been in disrepair for a long time, and the yard is in a mess. If I buy it, I will definitely repair it.
Besides, the Cao family is a hidden danger after all, and the wire mesh and tiles can only play a preventive role.
If we continue to be neighbors with the Cao family, it is inevitable that they will do something desperate.
However, if I want to buy this yard...
"An An, if you're in a dilemma, forget it. I'll keep an eye out for you. There must be other people willing to sell it!"
Seeing that Shen Anan hadn’t spoken for a long time, Xu Yan thought she was unwilling, so she spoke quickly.
"Aunt, it's not difficult at all. I should thank you for caring so much about my affairs!"
"I won't hide it from you. I am actually quite interested in the Cao family's courtyard."
"Although there are some frictions between me and the Cao family, it is ultimately just a dispute over interests."
"If I buy this yard, it will give the old man money to treat his illness, which would be the best of both worlds."
"An An, Auntie is right, you really are a kind-hearted person!"
"but……"
"But what!"
"Aunt Xu, I can buy this yard, but now it's the old couple of the Cao family who want to sell it. When I buy the yard, those sons and daughters-in-law of the Cao family will not come to my door to make trouble!"
"Besides, the Cao family members are still living there. If I give the money and transfer the house to them, but they refuse to move out, then I will lose more than I gain."
"After all, I just bought a yard, and I really don't want to get into trouble!"
Xu Yan was also stunned after hearing what Shen Anan said, then frowned, and also thought of the virtues of the Cao family.
Especially what Shen Anan said later about refusing to move, it might really happen.
After all, once the old couple of the Cao family sold the house, those unfilial descendants would have no place to live and would definitely make trouble.
"An An, if these problems can be solved, do you want this yard?"
"Yes, if it can be solved, I can buy it."
"Okay, then you wait, I'll go find Mrs. Cao now!"
After Xu Yan finished speaking, she slapped her thigh, and hurried out the door regardless of Shen Anan's attempts to keep her.
