Chapter 1039: Occupy the Magpie's Nest 17
Liu Gongan looked at her for a while and asked curiously, "Yuanchun girl, is your grandmother's family an official?"
"It seems to be a merchant." Yuanchun smiled, "My mother said that this courtyard was a dowry given to my grandmother by her parents' family. It must be quite old."
"A century-old house." It is worth a lot of money now, it seems to be worth tens of millions.
Tut tut...
Once again, Liu Gongan secretly envied the girl's good fortune. With this house, she could have money to spend without doing anything in her life.
However, when he thought of Fu Changsheng and his wife who sacrificed their lives to save others, Liu Gongan was no longer envious.
So what if he was rich? He lost his parents at such a young age, was all alone, had no one to love him, and was almost sold to an old bachelor by his relatives.
Fortunately, Yuanchun was smart and escaped.
If she were trapped in that remote mountain village and married to Hu Lao San, her life would be over. What good would it be if she had money?
Hey……
When Liu Gongan looked at Yuanchun, he immediately felt sympathy and pity.
Yuanchun was puzzled. "Uncle Liu, what's wrong? Do you want to order something else?"
"No, two dishes are enough for the two of us. It would be a waste if we order more." Liu Gongan was very frugal. Even in this high-end restaurant, he only ordered a dish of minced meat and eggplant, a dish of mapo tofu, two bowls of rice, and three two-sided steamed buns.
Although the dish is ordinary, the taste is absolutely amazing.
Yuanchun ate a bowl of rice and a steamed bun, and still felt a little unsatisfied.
When it came time to pay the bill, Liu Gongan paid the money readily and then told the waiter that he wanted to talk to the owner of the restaurant about something.
The waiter thought the police wanted to take advantage and deliberately made trouble, so he said the boss was not there. Liu then said, "Then call your manager over. I have something to discuss."
"Comrade Public Security, our boss and manager are not here. If you have any questions, tell us. We will tell our boss and manager when they come back."
Yuanchun smiled and said, "Then go call your boss now and tell him that the house has changed its owner. If you want to renew the lease, come back and sign the contract with me."
When the waiter heard this, his expression changed and he said, "Wait a moment."
Then he left quickly.
He also asked another waiter to pour tea for the two of them.
Not long after, the waiter came back and took Liu Gongan and Yuanchun to one of the rooms in the back building, which was the restaurant owner's office.
As soon as the two entered, a chubby middle-aged man came out with a smile and looked at Yuanchun, "You must be Yuying's daughter Yao Yuanchun, I haven't seen you for so many years, you have grown so big."
"Boss Xue." Yuanchun smiled faintly, "Have you seen me?"
"Your mother and I were sent to the countryside from the same place. At that time, you were only one or two years old in the countryside, and I held you in my arms. Later, your parents were admitted to the Imperial University, but I failed. I returned to the city a few years later than your parents. After returning to the city, I didn't have a job, so I ran a small business for a few years. After I made some money, I rented this house with your mother to open a restaurant."
Xue Jin said this, and asked the two to sit down. He then asked the waiter who brought them here to pour a glass of juice for Yuanchun and a cup of tea for Liu Gongan.
After the waiter left and there were only three people left in the room, Xue Jin asked with a smile, "Yuanchun, you are here to collect the rent, right?"
Yuanchun had a blank expression on her face. "Boss Xue, the agreement you signed with my mother back then was to deposit the money into my mother's bank card, but I checked it today and there was only half a year's rent on it. Since my mother passed away, no more money has been deposited into it."
Xue Jin stood up, went to the desk drawer, took out a bank card, handed it to her, and said, "The rent for the past four years is on this card. The name on the bank card is yours, and the password is your birthday."
Xue Jin's eyes were slightly red as he spoke, "Back then, when your parents got into trouble, I rushed over. Your dad was already dead, but your mom was still alive. Your mom asked me to save the rent for you and not tell you, saying that you had a soft temper and that you wouldn't be able to keep the money once it was in your hands. She insisted that I wait until you went to college before giving it to you."
When Yuanchun heard this, tears immediately fell.
This is the sentiment of the original owner.
It came too violently.
Yuanchun couldn't control herself for a moment.
The original owner was crying and sad. In her previous life, she was only concerned with resenting her uncle's family. She never remembered the existence of these two houses until her death, nor did she know about the existence of this money. Perhaps Xue Jin later mistook Fu Yuanlin for her, and the money must have fallen into Fu Yuanlin's hands.
She hated Fu Yuanlin so much.
She really wanted to see how well Fu Yuanlin would live in this life without her status as a university student in the imperial capital and her family's fortune.
"007, please calm down the original owner's soul. If she keeps crying, I won't be able to see clearly."
"Host, let the original owner cry. She is so pitiful. Her parents are obviously great heroes, and she is the only daughter of a great hero, but she has such a tragic end. Liu Yuying probably didn't expect that Yao Changgen's family would be so cruel that they would sell out the original owner and let Fu Yuanlin take her place and seize all her family property."
The original owner cried for a long time before her emotions gradually calmed down.
Xue Jin also turned around and wiped his tears several times.
He patted Yuanchun's shoulder and said, "Niece, don't be sad. You are the one your parents were most reluctant to let go of before they died. You must live well and live happily on behalf of your parents."
After a pause, he continued, "You are going to college this year, right? I asked someone and found out that you were admitted to Didu University. If you don't come to see me today, I will come to see you in a couple of days."
Xue Jin also told many interesting stories about how a group of educated youth worked in the village after going to the countryside. He also talked about how Fu Changsheng pursued Liu Yuying, and how Liu Yuying was bullied by Fu's wife after they got married.
It also talks about how Fu Changsheng protected his wife so fiercely that he took his wife out of the house and finally escaped from the den of wolves of the Fu family. The educated youth each chipped in some food and money to help the couple get through those difficult years.
Yuanchun and Liu Gongan listened with great interest, but their eyes were sore.
Xue Jin and Yuanchun signed a new agreement, and Xue Jin took the initiative to raise the rent to the market price. He was determined not to get anything cheaper from his niece.
The rent was still paid according to the original regulations. On the first day of every month, he deposited the money into Yuanchun's bank card.
It was already 3:30 in the afternoon and not yet time for dinner, but Xue Jin insisted on treating the two of them to a meal. He held them tightly and refused to let them leave. He also ordered the chef on duty to prepare several of his signature dishes.
The dishes were served and Liu Gongan was in a dilemma.
Yuanchun advised him, "Uncle Liu, today, you are not a police officer, you are just my uncle. It is common sense for my mother's friend to treat me and Uncle Liu to a meal. Don't put on your principles."
The aroma of the food was so fragrant that it hit his nose, and Yuanchun kept pulling him, so Liu Gongan couldn't help but stay.
However, when Xue Jin took out a bottle of expensive liquor and wanted to have a drink with him to thank him for taking care of Yuanchun, Liu Gongan insisted on his principles and refused to drink.
Xue Jin had no choice but to switch to juice and drank a large bottle of juice with them.
