Chapter 40 Yang’s thoughts

Yang thought to herself and said: "The town is too close to your maternal home. It is not good for us to go to the town to buy property. Tiezhu needs too much money to get married. You don't have to think about it, you know that we can't get it together."

"If this marriage really happens, your second uncle's family will be in trouble in the future."

"Tie Zhu is working in the town again and renting a house. Who knows if your second uncle will be hot-headed. Let Tie Zhu and his wife come to our house to rent a house. As time goes by, it becomes unclear who owns the house. So, if you go to the county seat, it’s better to be farther away.”

What Yang said is not impossible. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, going to the county seat is the best choice.

Also let everyone keep a distance so that we can see each other easily in the future. If we are too close together, it will be one thing or another, which will make everyone feel uncomfortable.

The Qian family and Wang family in Qingfeng Town were quite a big force, and Yang Tiezhu was entangled with them. Gu Yu didn't want to face these people head-on.

It is also a good choice to go to the county seat and be far away from your maternal home.

Chatting while walking, we soon came to the official road where the accident happened before.

Gu Wu pointed to an open space and recalled: "It was here that day that Xu Fan was rescued by Yu'er. The situation was very critical at that time. The tiger almost pounced on Xu Fan. If Yu'er hadn't reacted quickly, Xu Fan would have been rescued by Yu'er. Any chance of death."

"Here, and here, Xu Fan's parents were lying here. His uncle was lying on the side with unknown life and death, and his aunt was crying on the side."

"And here, Mr. Han vomited a large mouthful of black blood here..."

Listening to Gu Wu's description, Yang seemed to have witnessed the scene that day with her own eyes, and said with a horrified look: "They are lucky if they can meet Yu'er, otherwise we don't know what will happen!"

Gu Yu shook his head, "Actually, even without me, the tiger will definitely be killed, but Xu Fan may not be able to save it."

Gu Wu and Yang were confused. Gu Yu explained: "The people led by Mr. Han are not bad in strength. It's just that they were caught off guard when they first encountered three tigers. As long as they are given time, the tigers will definitely be defeated." beat."

Gu Wu thought for a while, and it seemed that this was indeed the case... Even so, the fact that the tiger was killed by his own daughter could not be concealed. "Even so, your actions reduced casualties and saved Xu Fan's family and other passers-by."

Talking about the people who were rescued, I thought that the Xu brothers were the only ones who came to the house to express their gratitude. The names of the other uninjured people and one of the seriously injured people are still unknown to this day.

Not everyone remembers the favor!
When I arrived at the county seat, I went directly to the government office and asked: "Master Secretary, we want to buy a house. Is there any vacant house now?"

The chief clerk, who was over thirty years old, held up a brochure and asked: "What kind of house do you want? Tell me, I will help you find if there is anything suitable."

"The third step is a big house, and the first step is a courtyard with a shop." Gu Yu explained his needs.

The chief bookkeeper flipped through the book and said: "There is a house on North Street in Sanjin, priced at one thousand taels. Once we enter the courtyard with the shop, let me take a look!"

After flipping through several pages of paper, he said, "You are lucky. There are still two last sets. One is on Dongda Street, and the other is at the intersection in front of Sanjin House. The price is three hundred taels."

He closed the book and asked, "Would you like to see it?"

Gu Yu calculated the money and found that the price of the two houses was one thousand three hundred taels: "Go and have a look."

When Gu Wu and Yang heard that so much money was needed, their hearts tightened, as if they had been pinched.

Then I thought about it, if I don't spend the money, it will be dead in my hands, and I have to deal with people who come to my house to borrow money from time to time. Just buy two houses and rent them out, so that you can collect some rent every month to repay your capital.

First we went to North Street to see Sanjin’s house. The front yard has the servant's residence, screen wall, south study room, guest resting place, hanging flower door, east and west wing rooms, east and west wing rooms, verandah, etc.

The main courtyard where the owner's house and elders live has two wing rooms and a study room. There is a garden in the backyard, and the main house has large and small bedrooms, twenty-two small rooms, a stable, and a small kitchen.

After the tour, the chief clerk asked: "What do you think of this house?" Gu Yu then looked at the house carefully. If he lived in it himself, it would need some repairs, but if he rented it out, he would just clean it.

"The house is okay, but the price is a bit high. I wonder if the price can be lower?"

The head clerk explained with a smile: "This house was originally priced at 1,500 taels. Everyone who came to see it felt that the road was not good and the price was on the high side. The lowest price is 1,500 taels, and it won't be any less."

Linfeng County is the county seat and has two more streets than Qingfeng Town. There are four streets in the east, west, south and north respectively. Da Qi has always liked to use the word "rich in the east, noble in the west, humble in the south and poor in the north" to reflect the current style and social class.

North Street is a civilian street, and most of the people living there are people who come to make a living elsewhere.

This three-entry house is good for them. For wealthy people, such a house in a civilian area is dispensable. The most important thing is that the price is not low.

To buy a house like this in a civilian area for one thousand taels, it is better to choose one in a wealthy area, or buy a foundation and build one yourself.

Gu Yu calculated the price, "Let's go check out the other set first!"

The house with a shop is similar in style to the mud house at home. It's just that the house at home is a mud house, and this house is a brick house with a large area of ​​300 square meters.

Gu Yu went to the shop in front and looked around, and visually estimated that one or two floors could be added to the roof. After thinking again and again, he said, "If the price is lower, I can buy both houses."

The bookkeeper smiled lightly and said: "Girl, one thousand three hundred taels for two houses is already the lowest price. It cannot be less."

The chief clerk did not relent, and Gu Yu and Gu Wu discussed it.

Returning to the government office, she handed over 1,300 taels of silver notes and got the house deed and keys. Yang smiled and joked: "Oh! I only got two bunches of keys in exchange for so many silver notes. It hurts my heart!"

Keys were called "keys" in ancient times.

In Daqi, keys are made of metal and come in various shapes. Some are curved, some are long, some are flat, and some large keys have complex shapes and are more difficult to make. high. Keys were often inlaid with jewels to show the owner's status and wealth.

The key to Gu Yu's house was not set with any jewelry, it was just an ordinary key.

"Just buy it. Why does it hurt?" Gu Wu said happily after seeing so many keys: "After getting the house deed, you must first buy furniture and send it to your home to decorate it before renting it out."

When I came here, I told Gu Pan that I would go over to help look after the house in the evening. It was okay not to go back tonight.

A family of three went to a noodle shop to eat a bowl of noodles, and then came to Sanjin's house. Gu Yu said, "You don't need to buy good furniture in a rental house. Each room has a bed, a wardrobe, a dressing table, and a table." That’s it.”

"As for the house with the shop, I don't plan to rent it. I will keep it for my own business."

Gu Wu, Yang: "?"

Not renting out, but keeping your own business?
I never mentioned this before!
Gu Yu smiled and explained: "I was going to say something that day, but I forgot to say it later because Brother Dabao came to the house."

Gu Wu, Yang: "..."

The couple was silent for a while before saying, "You want to start a business. What do you plan to sell?"

Gu Yu had thought about what he wanted to sell before and said: "Selling food."
