Chapter 7

After having a full meal, Li Yuezhu walked around the market and looked for a bag to find a reputable real estate agency.

The house at home was really uninhabitable. There was a hole in the roof. I don’t know how to survive the rain. There was also a long crack in the wall. My brother went to study in the eastern suburbs of the county and bought a house in the county.

My brother can go home and live.

“Boss, are there any yard sales in the county?”

Zhang Laoer was lowering his head and dialing the abacus. It was the end of the month again, and there was still a lot of data in his hand that he had not yet calculated. Just when he was busy, he heard the voice of a young girl.

"Hey, little girl, this is not a place to play, go play somewhere else!"

Zhang Laoer saw that the girl was wearing a shabby cotton robe with a few patches on it. Although it was still clean, she couldn't afford it in their place.

Li Yuezhu pouted and frowned, looking at the shopkeeper who was about to chase people out, "Alas, old gentleman, I'm here to find a house, not to play!"

When Zhang Laoer heard that he was here to rent a house, he quickly invited Li Yuezhu back to the house.

"Little girl, what kind of house are you looking for?"

"I need a spacious, preferably secure yard."

"How long do you want to rent for?"

"Lease? No, I'm here to buy a yard."

Only then did Zhang Laoer raise his somewhat cloudy eyes. "Little girl, buying a house is not something that can be done with just one son or two taels of silver. You'd better ask your adults to come and see it!"

Zhang Laoer waved his hand to Li Yuezhu. How could such a little girl buy a yard? Zhang Laoer lowered his head and started fiddling with the abacus.

"Grandpa, I'm really here to buy a yard. Do you have one here? You can go somewhere else without me!"

Zhang Laoer raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and looked at Li Yuezhu carefully. Although this little girl was pretty, the cotton robe she was wearing looked like she was in her teens. It was hard for him to think that this girl was in her teens.

I'm here to buy a yard.

"Since you said you are here to buy a yard, I will give you a quotation. The price of a house in the county close to the market starts at 5,000 taels of silver. The ones in the suburbs are cheaper, but they still cost 2,000 taels of silver. As for the cheaper ones,

, then it’s in the western suburbs. There are several yards in the western suburbs that only cost one thousand taels of silver. However, the public security in the western suburbs is very chaotic, and bandits will appear there in the past two years."

Zhang Laoer stroked his beard, shook his head and said to Li Yuezhu: "How about it, little girl, which house can you afford?"

Li Yuezhu pondered for a long time. The Shigu Academy where his brother studied was very close to the county seat, and his younger brother was about to start studying. It was naturally best to buy the courtyard in the city.

"Old sir, are there any houses in the eastern suburbs?"

Zhang Laoer raised his eyebrows and looked up at the extremely serious little girl.

"Little girl, where are you from? Do you know that Eastern Suburbs is a wealthy area, and it is not something a little girl like you can afford."

Li Yuezhu became a little angry when she heard the old gentleman keep emphasizing that she couldn't afford it.

"Since this eastern suburb is the so-called wealthy area, let the old gentleman introduce the houses in this eastern suburb!"

Li Yuezhu crossed his arms and sat on the chair next to him, looking like he was listening attentively.

"Speaking of the eastern suburbs, we have to talk about Shigu Academy. Since Shigu Academy was located in the eastern suburbs, wealthy businessmen and foreigners like to build houses there. Over time, the houses there have become more expensive."

Zhang Laoer stroked his beard and continued.

"I happen to have an empty courtyard on hand. It has been in my hands for some time. The seller wants it for ten thousand taels of silver. If you, little girl, can afford it, I will give you eight thousand taels of silver. How about it?"

Zhang Laoer turned back and glanced at Li Yuezhu. He thought that this girl must not be able to afford it, so he said this.

"Since the boss is so sincere, can you take me to have a look?"

Zhang Laoer frowned, tomorrow was the first month of the month, he still had many accounts to settle, and he couldn't leave, and this little girl didn't look like someone who could afford a courtyard.

"I'm not free today. If you really want to buy that house, little girl, please come back another day!"

After Zhang Laoer finished speaking, he started fiddling with the abacus.

Another day? No, who knows what else might happen in the meantime.

"Boss, you see I'm here to buy the yard sincerely. Please spare some time and take me to see it."

As Li Yuezhu spoke, he took out a few taels of silver from his pocket, put them on the account table, and said to the old gentleman sincerely.

The old gentleman originally lowered his head, but when he saw the few extra taels of silver in front of him, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the sincere expression of the little girl.

"That's all, that's all. Seeing how sincere you are, my old man will accompany you for a while."

Zhang Laoer put away the few taels of silver on the table, put them in his arms, and asked the waiter to bring the carriage over.

This carriage is indeed much more comfortable than the ox-cart, at least it is not as bumpy.

"The yard in the eastern suburbs has been idle for a while. Although there are many dignitaries in our county, most of them look down on that house. It is too small for the dignitaries, but for ordinary people, it is too small.

It’s also too expensive, which really worried me for a while.”

Li Yuezhu sat on the carriage and listened to Zhang Laoer's introduction to the house. It turned out that this house was specially built by an old man for his concubine. The old man moved his family, took the concubine away, and put this house

Yard sold.

The design of this courtyard is extremely unique. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. Although there are no pavilions or pavilions, there is a large flower bed. Because no one is taking care of it, the flowers and plants in the flower bed look messy.

The furniture in the house is neatly arranged, and there are all pots and pans available, making it the perfect place to move in with your bags.

"Little girl, if there are only a few people in your family, it is more than enough to live in this courtyard. There are more than a dozen wing rooms here, all designed and built by masters."

"Looking at the flowers and birds carved on the corridor, they are so lifelike. You don't need to buy any furniture to move in. Look at this big pear blossom wooden cabinet. The furnishings in the house are worth more than 10,000 taels of silver."

"Boss, how much did you just tell me to charge you for this yard?"

Zhang Laoer's heart shrank when he heard the little girl ask this, "Why, the little girl has fallen in love with this yard?"

Li Yuezhu nodded. She didn't expect that this courtyard would suit her so much.

First of all, this courtyard is in a wealthy area. In order to ensure the safety of these non-official landlords, the government has many soldiers stationed here. Secondly, it is very close to Shigu Academy, so it is convenient for my brothers and sisters to go to school.

In the end, she really fell in love with this courtyard. The large courtyard with four entrances was enough for the four of them, mother and son, so she could have her own separate room.

“Boss, can’t the price be any lower?”

"Little girl, you have also seen that the house is right here, and the location is excellent. If this house really couldn't be sold, I wouldn't have lowered the price so low."
