Chapter 641 Qin Huairu wants to buy a house again
The Wang family’s hundred-day banquet was originally going to be held in Courtyard 101, but considering that the weather was wet and the roads were slippery, which would be inconvenient for the elderly, it was held in the former Shazhu House in Courtyard 95.
With a little crowding, we can set up four tables, which is just enough for the adults to sit down.
There are all kinds of chicken, duck, fish, meat, seafood and game, and most importantly, all kinds of fruits and vegetables that are not available in winter.
For this hundred-day banquet, Wang Tiedan made full use of the more than ten square meters of space.
The aroma and laughter make this winter night as lively as a festival.
Compared with the middle courtyard, the deaf old lady's house in the backyard is also very warm.
But the atmosphere seemed to be dropping to freezing point.
The deaf old lady still couldn't get up. She lay in bed, feeling weak all over and her face was dull, as if she was dead.
Yi Zhonghai leaned against the stove, his head lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.
Shazhu sat on the edge of the bed, also silent.
He has already said that Wang Tiedan has no medicine, and even if he does, it is only three thousand strands of hundred-year-old ginseng whiskers.
People can't give it to you for free.
Even if it is sold at a low price, it would be difficult for a deaf old lady to trick Silly Zhu into filling up such a huge sinkhole.
What's more, it's not the right treatment and no one can guarantee a cure.
"Zhu Zi, forget it. This is fate. Grandma doesn't blame you."
The deaf old lady said weakly.
"Grandma, everything will be fine when the weather gets warmer, don't worry too much." Sha Zhu comforted.
"Well, I think so too. I'm afraid..."
The deaf old lady didn't continue speaking. She didn't have the strength to do so. She just pretended to be pitiful, hoping that maybe she could touch Sha Zhu's heart.
Sha Zhu rubbed his eyes.
"Grandma, please stop talking. I will go to Tongzhou to pick up Xiaobing to accompany you tomorrow morning. I'm sure you will get better."
"Don't bother. The child is too young. There is also Jia Zhang in the courtyard. It's all grandma's fault."
The deaf old lady spoke weakly. Perhaps because she was about to die, she kept recalling every little detail of the past.
If he could be more attentive and less calculating, maybe Sha Zhu would have been able to get married earlier and his child would have been able to go to elementary school.
There is no such thing as the bad things that happened in the past two years.
There is no need to be jealous of those old men and women in the front yard.
Perhaps out of regret or perhaps because she was too tired, the deaf old lady fell asleep with tears in her eyes while talking.
Really sleeping!
Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai didn’t have much to say. They stayed for a while and then left the house.
When passing by the central courtyard, he also took a look at his ancestral home.
To be honest, I'm envious.
The small courtyard where I rent has its own door and yard and is very spacious, but it lacks a bit of popularity.
Jia family.
Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu watched Sha Zhu pass by, and their attention immediately shifted from the middle courtyard to the backyard.
"It seems that this old deaf man will not survive this winter."
"Maybe. Mom, how much money do you have?"
Qin Huairu suddenly asked.
"What are you going to do?"
Jia Zhang was startled and subconsciously covered her pocket.
"Mom, the deaf old lady is dead, the house must belong to Sha Zhu, and Sha Zhu won't come back to live in it, so I want to buy the house."
"You have money to burn, why buy so many houses? Are you going to open a nursing home like Wang Tiedan?"
"No, I have a feeling that our yard may become popular."
"What do you mean?"
"Uncle Zhang's family in the backyard is moving away. Did you know that?"
"I know. I have to transfer to another factory. It's too far away. What's the matter?"
"Do you still remember the Chen family in the front yard? They also moved away last year due to job transfer."
"So what?"
Jia Zhang still didn't understand.
In order to get the money, Qin Huairu simply blurted out all her guesses.
"Since I married into the family, over ten years ago, I have only seen people move in, never moving out. Even if they changed jobs, I have never heard of them moving to a new house. There must be something fishy going on.
Look at the new Mr. Li in the front yard. He hangs out with Mr. Ni, Mr. Li, and Mr. Meng whenever he has nothing to do. I guess he is here for the nursing home.
If I guess correctly, the person who exchanged houses with the Zhang family also had this purpose. "
Jia Zhang is not stupid either.
"Do you want to buy the old deaf man's house and sell it at a high price later?"
"Yes."
“What if no one buys it?”
"If no one buys it, I can keep it for myself. At worst, I can sell it to Wang Tiedan. I won't lose money. Mom, just listen to me. Give me the money. Let's buy the house and resell it. We will definitely make a lot of money." Qin Huairu said confidently.
Jia Zhang avoided his gaze, wanting and not wanting.
She is conservative and can take money.
Paying money? Unless you want to buy something delicious, it's unlikely.
Qin Huairu also knew this, but she had to do it.
Jia Zhang's squandering never stopped, and there would be a day when her money would run out. She didn't want Jia Zhang to make trouble with her again when she ran out of money.
"Mom, given our relationship with Sha Zhu, we can definitely buy it at a low price. Even if we sell it at a low price, we can still make money. If you don't believe me, how about this, I'll pay two hundred and the house will be registered in your name, and I won't take a penny of the money I make, okay?"
Jia Zhang became even more conflicted.
I have to say, Qin Huairu's words are very tempting.
No risk, guaranteed profit.
But the more this happened, the more confused she became.
The deaf old lady's home is in the back courtyard, which has three rooms. Apart from the main house in the middle courtyard, it can be said to be the best house in the entire courtyard.
No matter how much you bargain, the price won't be too cheap.
After paying this money, she definitely won't have much left.
Without money, Jia Zhang felt insecure.
"Mom, this opportunity is rare. If you miss it, it will be gone." Qin Huairu urged.
Jia Zhang thought about it and shook her head.
"You just talk about buying a house. What will happen to Yi Zhonghai if the old deaf man dies? Are you going to drive him away?"
"Mom, Shazhu will definitely not let him live in the house."
"Let's solve this problem first. If it's really like you said, we'll buy this house!"
"Good~"
In the backyard, the deaf old lady’s house.
Yi Zhonghai sat there for a long time, until late at night, until the bustle in the central courtyard faded away.
He first covered the fire in the stove, then tightened his clothes and moved to the bed.
"Old lady, tell me, what should I do if you leave?"
The deaf old lady was still asleep and didn't answer.
Yi Zhonghai could only talk to himself.
"It's already this late, and you still don't talk about the house. Zhuzi and I have a grudge against each other for stealing my wife, so how could he let me live here? If he drives me away, he's asking me to die."
After saying this, the room fell silent again.
After a while, perhaps because the stove went out, the room grew cold.
Unable to bear the cold, the deaf old lady slowly woke up.
"Cold, why is it so cold?"
The deaf old lady's voice was very soft, but it still woke up Yi Zhonghai who was thinking.
"Old lady, are you awake? How do you feel?"
"Cold. Very cold."
"cold?"
Yi Zhonghai seemed to react suddenly and looked at the stove.
"Madam, wait a minute, the stove might be out. I'll turn it on right away."
After turning on the stove, Yi Zhonghai returned to the bed.
"Ma'am, please wait a minute. It will be warm in a while."
As he spoke, he tightened the quilt around the deaf old lady, sat down on the edge of the bed again, and looked up at the house.
"Old lady, now that you're gone, it's time for me to leave here too."
