Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Chapter 90: Gold hidden in Buddha statues
"This is the best piece of porcelain I have here, and it's such a big one. It really can't get any cheaper." The stall owner Ge Yusuo said in embarrassment.

He Yuzhu said: "I'll pay you 20 yuan. If you don't sell it, I won't take it."

Ge Yusuo frowned and said: "This"

He Yuzhu stood up and was about to leave. Xu Wood quickly said: "Boss, please give me a favor, and you can make it cheaper. We will come back next time."

"Yes, I don't have much money with me. I'll invite this one first, and then I'll invite a few Buddha statues back next time."

Ge Yusuo gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'll give you 20 yuan."

Then he warned: "There is one thing I have agreed with you first. All these things are bought and sold according to your own eyesight. You will not regret it. You cannot return it after buying it. There is no such rule in this industry. I don't have any." Can you tell me which dynasty and generation the product is from?"

He Yuzhu nodded: "I understand."

As he spoke, He Yuzhu took out twenty pieces of money and handed them to the stall owner.

After buying it, He Yuzhu picked up the reclining Maitreya Buddha.

"This statue is really heavy and made of solid materials. It must be from the Tang Dynasty." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

Ge Yusuo looked at He Yuzhu as if he were a fool. Of course he knew the boss He who had just opened the tavern. Now he confirmed that this was Bang Chui who only knew how to make buns. He was wondering if he would come to visit him again in a few days and get some bronzes. Tell him that it belongs to Shang and Zhou Dynasties, or Xuande furnace, and make a lot of money.

Xu Wood next to him was also very happy. He Yuzhu defrauded him of 50 yuan. After so long, he launched revenge.

Bring the person to Ge Yusuo and sell him an ordinary porcelain. The money earned will be divided between the two of them.

If you come back a few times, you can make your money back.

Today started well. I defrauded He Yuzhu of 20 yuan, and I was able to get 10 yuan back. Of course, the price would be lower the first time, and I would gradually increase it later.

"Zhuzi, since you said this Buddha statue is from the Tang Dynasty, then put it away at home. This kind of thing is kept for family heirlooms and will not be sold out unless absolutely necessary."

In this way, He Yuzhu would not ask others for appraisal. He himself thought he had bought Tang Dynasty porcelain, and it would be easy to continue to fool him in the future.

"Yes, I will put it away when I get back and won't show it to anyone. This is a treasure that can be passed down to the family."

He Yuzhu hugged him and walked back. Xu Wood didn't say that he had bought some porcelain, and the three of them followed him.

He Yuzhu deliberately stumbled when he was walking and almost fell down. Then he took this opportunity to let go of the Maitreya Buddha statue.

Under everyone's gaze, it fell directly to the ground.

With a bang, the Maitreya Reclining Buddha fell directly to the ground and broke into eight petals.

Everyone was surprised. Some knowledgeable people had already noticed that there was no genuine product on the stall. That is to say, a young man like He Yuzhu was an outsider, so he bought this Buddha statue at a high price.

"He fell down on his own. It has nothing to do with me. Don't blame it on me." Ge Yusuo was afraid that He Yuzhu would be unreasonable, so he spoke directly.

This is also the rule in the antiques industry. If something goes wrong after the purchase is made, it has nothing to do with the seller.

Xu Wood suppressed his laughter and pretended to be very happy: "Zhuzi, why are you so careless? Now it broke into eight pieces, and the porcelain is no longer valuable."

Xu Damao couldn't help but gloated: "He Yuzhu, why are you so unlucky? A Tang Dynasty porcelain costs hundreds of dollars, and you just dropped it like this."

Xu Zhaodi comforted her: "Don't be angry, Zhuzi, I'll just buy it later."

Several people on the roadside heard Xu Damao say that the porcelain was from the Tang Dynasty and that he was also an ignorant stick, and they cast pity on He Yuzhu.

However, He Yuzhu was very calm at this time and just said: "Why is there cotton stuffed in this Buddha statue?"

After saying this, everyone around was stunned. Yes, normally the middle of porcelain is empty, why put cotton in it?

It was a pity that the porcelain was broken just now, but no one thought much about it.

"Perhaps it was the cotton that was stuffed before transporting so that it wouldn't be damaged by the shock," Xu Wood said.

"The porcelain is broken, but this handful of cotton is still useful."

As he spoke, He Yuzhu squatted down and threw the broken pieces of porcelain on the roadside on the garbage heap. After all, it was porcelain from the Republic of China and was not valuable at all.

Then he picked up the cotton, and suddenly a golden thing fell out of it and fell directly to the ground.

"What is this?" He Yuzhu said in surprise.

"It's a big yellow croaker!" Those who were watching the excitement recognized it immediately.

"It's still four big yellow croakers tied together."

"What? Four large yellow croakers?" Xu Wood was not calm anymore. He looked carefully and saw that the gold bars on the ground were so dazzling. The cotton ropes tied to the four gold bars had broken, and the gold bars were lying crookedly on the ground.

"Can such a big one buy a whole house?"

"This kid is so lucky. He bought a piece of porcelain, and there were four gold bars hidden inside."

"How much can I exchange for this? It would be great if it were mine."

"What kind of money can I exchange for? Just go to the military control office to exchange for a house. Now the government only collects gold bars."

The onlookers were talking about anything, and everyone was jealous of He Yuzhu's luck. This thing, which was even more bizarre than pie in the sky, happened in front of his eyes.

He Yuzhu wanted this effect. He had already bought a bicycle before and it became the first bicycle in the courtyard.

If he spends a large amount of money to buy houses and sell things, the beasts in the courtyard will definitely suspect that the money he spent is not honest, and they will definitely report him.

But today, Xu Wood brought himself to buy porcelain, and then hid four gold bars in it, earning a large amount of income, thus laundering the money.

Especially today, Xu Wood had evil intentions when he brought himself to buy porcelain. The three members of the family banded together to deceive him into paying for a worthless porcelain. They also wanted him to keep it as a family heirloom and not sell it at home, so that the fakes would be exposed. It won't be exposed.

He Yuzhu just happened to break the fake porcelain and get four large yellow croakers openly and honestly. This killed two birds with one stone, laundered the money and made Xu Wood vomit blood in frustration.

At this time, the three Xu family members were all dumbfounded. They had indeed made a trick to get He Yuzhu to take advantage of him. After all, Ge Yusuo assured that the porcelain in his stall was collected in the countryside and bought from scrap depots. At most, it was from the Republic of China period. Even those in the Qing Dynasty did not have such a job.

Yes, there is indeed no porcelain from the Qing Dynasty. There is no problem with this guarantee, but how could there be four large yellow croakers hidden in this porcelain from the Republic of China?

The key is that this large yellow croaker is more valuable than a Tang Dynasty porcelain.

Xu Wood was shocked when he heard the comments from passers-by. He stared at the four large yellow croakers with his eyes, his eyes turned red with envy.

I did a lot of calculations and thought of everything, but I didn't expect that there were gold bars hidden in the porcelain of the Republic of China, and there were as many as 4 gold bars.

My monthly salary is only 30 yuan, which is more than my salary in ten years. I will never be able to save four gold bars in my life.

Why is He Yuzhu so lucky?

The key is that he brought He Yuzhu today to cooperate with Ge Yusuo to cheat He Yuzhu's money. Everything went according to plan. Who knew that he would earn four large yellow croakers in the blink of an eye.

Although he could get 10 yuan from Ge Yusuo, it was incomparable to four large yellow croakers.

Xu Zhaodi waited for a long time before calculating in her mind the approximate value of four large yellow croakers, which could buy the entire courtyard, and then looked at He Yuzhu with bright eyes.

It was like looking at a sparkling golden doll.

Not to mention the money he earns from working, these four big yellow croakers are the family fortune that many people cannot accumulate in their lifetime. It would be great if she could become the wife of the He family, and she would never have to worry about food and drink again.

Buy whatever you want and live a prosperous life.

Xu Damao was even more angry than his father.

He just said something to him before, and then he was pushed to the ground by He Yuzhu and hammered hard.

He Daqing ran away, and he was so happy that He Yuzhu became a child without a father.

But in just a few months, He Yuzhu was lucky enough to get four large yellow croakers. What was the difference between this and those picked up for nothing?
Thinking that He Yuzhu could use the money to buy a house and live a life of luxury, Xu Damao felt so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood, as if he had eaten a fly.

The most uncomfortable person at the scene was Ge Yusuo, the stall owner selling his Buddha statues.

He watched in amazement as the four large yellow croakers were picked up by He Yuzhu. He was completely stunned and stood there stupidly. It was as if someone had filled his head with lead and he could no longer think.

It took him a while to react, and he saw He Yuzhu picking up four large yellow croakers and shouting hurriedly: "The gold bars are mine. I just sold you the Buddha statue. The large yellow croakers are mine."

"Hehe, I think beautifully."

He Yuzhu said: "I will not be responsible for the purchase and sale. Why do you want to break the rules of antique trading?"

Some stall owners watching the excitement were not happy. No matter how good the four large yellow croakers were, they couldn't be theirs. They couldn't go up and grab them openly.

What's more, there are so many people in the market now, and even if they rob themselves, they can't rob others.

Someone said: "Ge Yusuo, you are farting. No one can say whether the antiques you sell are authentic or not, but the things inside belong to others since they paid for them."

"Yeah, how can anyone sell something and say that the outside is someone else's but the inside is theirs?"

"There are no such rules in the world."

"That's right, if you break our rules, then don't set up a stall here."

"Integrity is what matters when doing business. How can you be so unruly?"

As soon as several people said this, Ge Yusuo didn't dare to speak. He wanted the big yellow croaker just now because he was in a hurry.

But now I know very well that I can't win back at all, especially these colleagues who set up stalls, all of whom are laughing at others and complaining about others.

At this time, in the name of justice and the rules of selling antiques, I had no hope of getting the four large yellow croakers.

The passers-by around can’t stand it anymore. Many people visit this night market just for the various antiques. If they regret selling it, it will be a disaster for both sellers and buyers, and they will have lost their antiques. The meaning of the market.

"You set up a stall and took money from others. Now that you see the big yellow croaker they sell, do you still have the nerve to go back?"

"You are so shameless, you have disgraced the men of Forty-Nine Cities."

"That is, when doing business, you must pay attention to integrity. Without integrity, who will do business with you?"

"If you dare to chirp again, I won't beat you, this profiteer."

A large group of people booed, and some wanted to go out and teach Ge Yusuo a lesson in person.

Ge Yusuo was so frightened that he quickly begged for mercy and said he did not dare.

Although I feel very regretful, I still want to make a living in this industry.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, there are more three hands recently. "

He Yuzhu was happy, this was none other than Li Fugui's son-in-law Ye Dapeng.

"Brother Ye, are you on duty today?"

"Yeah, what's going on?" Ye Dapeng just saw a circle of people gathered around him and quickly came over to see what was going on.

"Nothing, I just picked up four large yellow croakers."

He Yuzhu told the story of how he bought the Buddha statue.

Ye Dapeng was dumbfounded. He had never heard of such a bizarre thing.

"You said you bought a Buddha statue with four large yellow croakers hidden inside?"

He Yuzhu nodded: "Yes, things are so bizarre, but so many people have seen it."

Ye Dapeng asked some of the people watching around him and got the same answers. Only then did he believe that He Yuzhu had amazing luck.

"This gold is too much. It's not safe in your hands. It's better to send it to the Military Control Commission. There are troops stationed there to guard it, so there won't be any problems."

Then he said: "Now the state purchases gold uniformly, and the price is not low."

He Yuzhu said: "I understand the current policy and will actively cooperate with it. Can I exchange gold for a house?"

"You can discuss this with Director Li tomorrow. I can't make the decision."

Ye Dapeng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw He Yuzhu agreed to send the gold to the Military Control Commission. The country was currently in difficulty and needed the support of the people.

He Yuzhu directly followed Ye Dapeng to the Military Control Commission, and once ignored Xu Wood and his family next to him.

We arrived at the Military Control Commission and asked the leader on duty to register four large yellow croakers.

"Do you want money or supplies?"

Prices at this time were still very unstable. Of course, He Yuzhu would not choose to ask for RMB. He hardly saved any money on his own and spent it every day. If he couldn't spend it all, he would exchange it for Yuan Datou or copper coins.

"I rented a storefront on Yanyandai Xiejie. Can you sell me that house?"

"Okay, but we have to wait until they go to work tomorrow to complete the formalities."

"Okay, then I'll come back tomorrow."

He Yuzhu returned to the tavern. It was already past 10 o'clock after all this work, and the workers had all finished work. Only Xu Huizhen was waiting anxiously in the yard.

Seeing that He Yuzhu came back safely, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why did you come so late? It was spread all over the street, saying that you picked up four large yellow croakers."

He Yuzhu said angrily: "Such a person really knows how to spread rumors. Did I pick it up? I bought it for 20 yuan." "Pfft" Xu Huizhen laughed out loud and said happily: "What are you talking about? 20 yuan." If you buy 4 gold bars with money, isn’t that the same as picking them up?”

"You're crazy. 20 yuan is not money. It costs an ordinary person one month's salary."

He Yuzhu's salary for the aunts who help them is only more than 10 yuan. This is the current going rate, and it is not acceptable to pay too much.

"You have also learned how poor people are in the [-]th city." Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes, and then asked about the details of tonight, He Yuzhu sat down and said slowly.

In the quadrangle.

Xu Wood came back with his children in despair, his eyes were dull, as if he had lost his soul.

Yan Bugui didn't even pay attention to him.

Yan Bu said angrily: "Why are you so arrogant? Isn't it just that he has been rated as the master in charge of the hospital? Look at him, he is so awesome, and he is so arrogant."

Only then did I see that Xu Zhaodi and Xu Damao, the siblings behind them, both looked like their fathers were dead.

He asked in surprise: "What's going on with you two? Didn't you go for a walk? What happened? Was it robbed or the money was stolen?"

Xu Damao was young and didn't think about covering up this matter. After all, Yandai Xiejie was less than a mile away from here, so news of today's events would surely spread quickly.

"We lost four large yellow croakers today."

"What? Four big yellow croakers? Where did you get the big yellow croakers?" Yan Bugui was shocked. Did this kid have a fever? He was talking nonsense and sold everything in the Xu family. Two nets are not worth four large yellow croakers.

Xu Zhaodi said quickly: "Uncle Yan, it's not like that. Listen to me."

Then he explained what happened today. Of course, some Spring and Autumn style of writing was used here. It cannot be said that he was originally planning to trick He Yuzhu.

He just said that he met him by chance, and then followed the three of them to the night market with a shameless face, and then bought the Tang Dynasty porcelain worth several hundred yuan under the guidance of his father.

I accidentally broke the porcelain, and there were four large yellow croakers wrapped in it. Everyone in the Yantai Xiejie saw it.

It's just that He Yuzhu is an unreasonable thief. He doesn't follow the rules at all and burns bridges across rivers without even paying an agency fee.

Yan Bugui had never been so shocked before and asked innocently: "You mean He Yuzhu bought a piece of porcelain with four large gold bars hidden inside. Are you kidding me? Do you know how much four large yellow croakers are worth?"

"The whole Yandai Xiejie has seen it, can we still lie to you?"

After Xu Zhaodi said that, she took Xu Damao back directly.

This conversation was not only heard by Yan Bugui, but also by the neighbors who were enjoying the cool air and chatting in the front yard. None of them were sleepy anymore, and they were discussing enthusiastically. First, they said sourly, how could Silly Zhu be so good? Luck, and then fantasize about how great it would be if that person were you.

As soon as Xu Wood entered the house, Xu Damao's mother quickly asked:

"How was it successful? How much money did you get from Silly Pillar? Did you get it back?"

Xu Wood took out 10 yuan from his pocket and handed it over.

"ten bucks?"

Xu Damao's mother immediately became happy and said with a smile: "If you can get 10 yuan, wouldn't it mean that you cheated Silly Zhu of 20 yuan?"

Only then did he realize that Xu Wood looked wrong, and asked in surprise: "What's wrong with you? If I get the 10 yuan back this time, I can find a way to trick him a few more times. Why should I get the 50 yuan back?" Why are you unhappy?"

Xu Wood sighed: "I cheated Silly Zhu of 20 yuan, but he didn't cry, but I was about to cry."

"What? Why are you crying?" Xu Damao's mother was confused and looked at her husband blankly.

"What do you know? I'm really pissed off today."

Xu Wood was a little impatient, took his toothbrush and toothpaste, and went out to wash up.

"What's wrong? This is a fool's money. Why aren't you happy?"

At this time, Xu Zhaodi and Damao came back from outside with mournful faces.

"What happened to you guys today? Tell me what happened today."

Xu Zhaodi said: "Mom, that silly column is good at stir-frying, and is just a stick when it comes to antiques. My father fooled me, and then I spent 20 yuan to buy a Maitreya Buddha."

Damao Niang asked: "Isn't this a good thing? Why do you all look so sad?"

"This was a good thing, but then it turned into a bad thing. There were four large yellow croakers hidden in the belly of the Buddha statue."

Xu Zhaodi stretched out four fingers, waved them in front of her mother's eyes, and emphasized: "They are four large yellow croakers!"

"Big yellow croaker? There are four big yellow croakers in the Buddha statue?" Damao Niang's eyes widened as if she couldn't believe it.

"Yes, many people saw it, and the police alerted him and sent him directly to the Military Control Commission."

"Are you stupid? You won't lie to him and say it's copper. It's not valuable at all!" Damao Niang thought of a way to resolve it in an instant.

"With Silly Zhu's brain, he can distinguish what is copper and what is gold?"

Xu Zhaodi quickly extended her thumb: "Mom, you still have a way, but it's a pity that we didn't think of it at the time."

Xu Wood, who brushed his teeth and entered the house, was immediately dumbfounded: "Why didn't I think of that? Why didn't I think of that?"

All he could do was repeat this sentence. He even dropped the enamel jar in his hand and kept repeating it mechanically with his eyes blank and blank.

"That's bad, your father is possessed!"

Damao Niang has rich experience. Everyone can tell at a glance that Xu Wood suddenly suffered such a big blow and was restless and in a trance. This was because he was extremely angry and lost his mind.

"Why is my father possessed by evil spirits?"

Xu Damao didn't believe it and pulled Xu Wood, but Xu Wood was at a loss and ignored his questions at all, just like a fool who had lost his mind.

Xu Damao believed it now and said with a sad face: "How can my father be okay? Hasn't he become a fool?"

Damao Niang is very experienced: "It's okay, there is a way to cure this kind of thing. Just slap him in the face as hard as you can, and if it hurts hard, you can save him."

It's just that temporary anger is not born like this. As long as you receive some strong stimulation, you can come back to your senses.

Xu Damao asked his sister and sister to hold Xu Wood. Thinking of his father's appearance before, he felt extremely happy. Today he could finally take revenge.

Then he raised his hand high and used all his strength to slap Xu Wood hard on the face.

Without waiting to check, he slapped the other face with his backhand, then opened his bow from left to right and started fanning wildly.

Xu Wood regained his composure after two slaps. He was still a little dazed at first, and then his son Xu Damao's hand slapped him hard on the face. No wonder he felt a lot of pain on his face.

"Why do you want to beat me, you unfilial son?"

Before Xu Wood finished speaking, Xu Damao's slap fell on Xu Wood's face again.

Xu Zhaodi shouted: "Dad seems to be able to speak."

Xu Damao was startled when he heard this and took a few steps back. But Xu Wood had already let go of his hands by the two sisters. He was really angry. A father was slapped by his son. Is there such a thing in the world? An unfilial child?

He jumped up and ran out, grabbing Xu Damao. The little girl was still obedient and knew how to pick up the broom and hand it over.

Without enough time to praise his little daughter, Xu Wood raised his broom and hit Xu Damao directly.

"Dad, please don't hit me. Mom said you are crazy and need a slap like this to save you."

"That's nonsense. Let me beat you to death first."

Xu Wood didn't have a good time tonight. Although he cheated Silly Zhu's 10 yuan, he picked up four large yellow croakers in front of him. Who wouldn't be angry if he put it on someone?

When I got home, I was slapped by my son, and I was always very angry. If I didn't let out this evil fire, I might get sick from suppressing it in my heart.

It was just a good time to give my son a good beating so that I could vent my anger and not hold myself back to death.

Damao Niang didn't care about her son's life or death at this time, and took her two daughters out to wash up.

From the west wing of the backyard came bursts of Xu Damao's ghostly cries and howls.

Liu Haizhong from the east wing was filled with admiration and said: "I usually teach my children too lightly. Look at Lao Xu. This is a model for educating his son. One spank will make his memory last forever." Can not forget."

Aunt Liu nodded: "Let me tell you, my son is still disobedient even after being educated by you. It seems that he was beaten too lightly."

"Then I'll hit him harder next time. The stick will produce filial sons. The saying of our ancestors is correct."

Yan Bugui can be called the gatekeeper and weather vane in the courtyard. As long as he knows something, the entire courtyard will soon know it. After all, he has a natural advantage to spread all kinds of news by staying in the front yard.

The second day was an ordinary day, but the No. 2 courtyard was extremely lively.

The news that He Yuzhu bought the Buddha statue yesterday and contained four large yellow croakers soon became known to everyone.

Mrs. Jia Zhang came into the house cursing and sat at the table sulking.

Qin Huairu had a miscarriage and couldn't see the wind recently. She was lying on the bed and resting. Out of politeness, she asked: "Mom, what happened to the noise outside?"

"You still have the face to ask?"

Mrs. Zhang cursed for a while, and then said: "Damn stupid Zhu, why don't you die? God is so cruel that he actually let him pick up four large yellow croakers."

"What? I picked up four, or a big yellow croaker? How much is that!"

Mrs. Zhang said angrily: "You can buy our courtyard house, how much do you think it will cost?"

"You little prodigal, aren't you happy?" Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but cursed again.

Qin Huairu said: "Mother, how many times have I told you that I didn't give him those shoes. Silly Zhu is a bad guy. He stole the shoes, dropped the money and ran away. I was just afraid that you would be unhappy, so I didn't say anything. .”

"Who would believe what you say?"

Thinking of the power of her mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhang stopped scolding her and said angrily: "I know what I did."

In fact, Mrs. Zhang didn't believe that her daughter-in-law would hook up with Silly Zhu so quickly, otherwise she wouldn't just curse like this.

"Mom, everyone else wants their daughter-in-law to live well, so why are you cuckolding your own son? When Dongxu comes out, if he hears the rumors coming from your mouth, will he be willing? "

Mrs. Zhang sighed and knew that if Qin Huairu divorced her son, it would be extremely difficult for her son to find a partner.

"Are you and Silly Zhu really okay?"

"I've told you 800 times, how can I fall in love with him?"

Mrs. Zhang cursed and told about the four large yellow croakers that He Yuzhu picked up at night yesterday.

Qin Huairu, who was lying on the bed, quietly opened his mouth wide, like an eel hole.

It took him a long time to regain his composure, rubbed his sore mouth, and said, "How is this possible? There are four large yellow croakers in any Buddha statue you buy?"

"It's been spread all over the place. Xu Wood bought it with him. How can this be fake?"

In the east wing room, Yi Zhonghai was very angry. He Yuzhu cheated him out of 400 yuan before, so he was very angry. Fortunately, Shazhu was just an apprentice, and he was the most skilled in the steel factory, so he earned more wages. , Psychologically, he still has a natural advantage over Silly Pillar.

Yi Zhonghai is not only the elder in the courtyard, but also has the highest income. There is always a kind of psychological contempt for him.

But overnight, his psychological advantage was gone.

The wealth he had accumulated in his entire life was not as valuable as four large yellow croakers. Now Silly Zhu became a far wealthier person than himself.

Yi Zhonghai suddenly felt unbalanced. He had picked up too much. Why was it not him?

When He Yuzhu came to the moat to exercise in the morning, several senior brothers knew about it. After congratulating him, He Yuzhu generously offered to treat him in the evening, and then he asked them to let him go.

I brought Tian Zao to the Military Control Commission and went to the room I had last time again. The staff said: "We all have the house on Yandai Xiejie. We have a unified assessment. There are three front rooms, together with the yard behind and the back room. , the total value is 4000 yuan.”

He Yuzhu nodded, the price was quite reasonable, so he didn't say anything more. He had already asked others before, knew the market price, and had money with him.

The total price of the four gold bars was only 3850 yuan. He Yuzhu added another 150 yuan and then got the house deed.

"Comrade, let me ask, I still have a house in the courtyard house at No. 95 Nanluogu Lane. Doesn't this count as a violation of my rules?"

You must know that just last fall, the divisions were made. Only those who live in houses are divided into small owners, medium owners, and large owners according to the size of the houses. The large owners are equivalent to landlords.

Today's houses are mainly made of wood. Due to the length of the material, the width is generally about 3 meters 3, so a standard house with a width of 3 meters 3 is considered.

Of course, there are also wider ones, but the longest is no more than 4 meters. Even if there are no interior walls in the house, there will still be pillars. For the definition of a room, a house is the distance between two pillars.

Therefore, He Yuzhu's house facing north and south has three rooms, not one, and Jia Dongxu's house has three rooms.

A small courtyard house has 12 houses, and a family can be considered a small owner if it owns more than 13 houses.

Now that He Yuzhu has bought this shop, it has more than 20 large and small rooms. This is already a standard small business owner.

That's why He Yuzhu has this problem.

"You don't count this. You got it by actively handing in gold."
