The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 313 Taking over the house
"I was afraid of trouble back then." Liu Hua said cheerfully, "I know that if you don't have a plan for your retirement, you will do something strange next time. In order to avoid future troubles, I gave you this suggestion. Otherwise, I would not want to pay attention to you."

"No matter what the reason is, I want to thank you. I am now surrounded by children and grandchildren and live a happy life, all because of your advice to me back then."

"That's not necessary. I also felt that the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, so I had to make arrangements for my rear. Although I also have a trump card to ensure safety, it's better to have one less trouble."

But looking at Yi Zhonghai's expression, he seemed not to mind at all. Ever since he had a child, this guy has been living his own life behind closed doors and doesn't care about anything going on in the yard.

"You rarely come to our house. What brings you here today?"

Yi Zhonghai slapped his forehead and said, "When you get older, you tend to forget things easily. I have something important to talk to you about today."

"Go ahead, let me make it clear in advance that I may not be able to help you."

"I'm not asking for your help. I'm living a good life now and don't need any help." Yi Zhonghai said with a smile, "My son has been allocated a big house, and my wife and I are going to move in. I converted this courtyard house into a private house during the housing reform two years ago. Now that I'm moving in, I'm going to sell these rooms."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "I feel like you like courtyard houses very much, otherwise you wouldn't have moved from that courtyard house to this one. So, I'm asking you, do you want one? If you want one, I'll sell it to you at a low price. If you don't want one, I'll ask someone else."

"Yes, why not?" Liu Hua said with a smile, "I tell you, courtyard houses will be very expensive in the future, especially those near Nanluoguxiang. If you sell now, you will regret it."

"The house is old, how much more expensive can it be? If you want it, I will sell it to you at a 20% discount."

"Okay." Liu Hua nodded: "As long as you don't mind."

The two agreed on a price and transferred the house the next day. Yi Zhonghai packed up his things with his wife and left with only two boxes.

After asking around, people in the courtyard found out that Yi Zhonghai had sold the house to Liu Hua.

If it were ten or twenty years ago, everyone would mind because everyone didn’t have enough space to live in. But now, even though everyone is short of housing, they don’t mind because what they want more is a building, not this slum.

Of course, there were people in the courtyard who minded, for example, Jia Zhang was very concerned.

It is said that a disaster can last a thousand years. Jia Zhang is now nearly seventy years old, but she is still vigorous and energetic. Although she has many illnesses, such as high blood pressure and high blood lipids, she looks more energetic than anyone else.

Banggeng had complained to his mother countless times in private, saying that this old man was really able to stay alive. The family was not well off to begin with, and Jia Zhang was able to eat and drink as much as she wanted, making the already poor family even worse off.

Jia Zhang watched Liu Hua take a lock and lock the door, and then cursed quietly at the door of her house: "Yi Zhonghai, that old, doomed man, would rather sell his house than let our Jia family live in it. He deserves to have no children. And Liu Hua, that damned bastard, your family already has enough houses, why are you buying another house for ghosts to live in."

Liu Hua heard it clearly, but was unwilling to pay any attention to him. The Jia family was the kind that had been getting worse and worse since the reform and opening up.

A dozen or twenty years ago, the street office would still care about the residents, but nowadays the street office can’t take care of so many things, not to mention that it was done by their family themselves. If Banggeng does this for two years, they will probably have to rent a house outside.

Liu Hua walked to the gate, and Xu Damao came back from outside: "Hey, Boss, you are so free today, why don't you come to visit the courtyard?"

"Yi Zhonghai sold his house to me. Please keep an eye on it for me." Xu Damao nodded. "Okay, no problem. I can't understand why you like this old house. When I buy a new house, I will sell the old house to you. Do you want it?"

"Yes, I'll take all the orders." Liu Hua said with a smile: "Your performance has been good recently, with orders for several thousand units every month."

"That's right." Xu Damao said with a smile: "In addition to those motorcycle manufacturers, I have also established relationships with dealers in several economically developed provinces. They wholesale engines to other countries. After all, motorcycles will always break down and need spare parts. In fact, compared to those motorcycle manufacturers, I prefer dealing with these dealers."

"Your mind is opening up." Liu Hua said with a smile, "I'm relieved that you'll be in charge of sales matters."

Xu Damao nodded proudly: "Of course, after becoming a salesperson, I found that I had lived in vain for the past 20 to 30 years. In the past, I used my survival skills to please my leaders, but I only got a few melons and dates. Now, I use my survival skills to deal with people and can exchange for a lot of money. The society now is really good."

The two were chatting when Xiao Cui came over with some cooked food. When he saw Liu Hua, he greeted them warmly: "Uncle Liu, Uncle Xu, we are done chatting, come over to my place for a drink."

"No." Liu Hua shook his head: "I still have a lot of work to do when I get back."

"See you later." Xiao Cui walked in with the food and asked casually, "Uncle Liu, how come you have time to come to the yard today?"

"Yi Zhonghai sold me his two houses." Liu Hua said with a smile, "I came here to take possession of them."

"You bought another house, are you still renting it?"

Liu Hua nodded: "Of course I rented it."

Xiao Cui smiled and said, "Well, I have a few good friends who just arrived in Beijing. They are all singers. Their living environment is not very good. If you are willing to rent it, can you rent it to them?"

"Male and female?"

"female."

Liu Hua nodded: "You can rent it, but I'll find someone to clean up the house first. The house is too old, so just do some simple renovations."

Xu Damao smiled and said, "Let me help you contact someone. I actually know someone who does renovations. You just need to pay the money when the time comes."

Liu Hua directly took out two thousand yuan and said, "Just decorate it according to this amount, and you can buy me some simple furniture."

Xiao Cui smiled and said: "The big boss is the big boss. He spends so much money at once. I am a little jealous. He rents a house to a girl and renovates it. When I did it, I just cleaned it up."

"When you rented it, that house was our own, so the decoration is okay, right?" Liu Hua said jokingly, "Besides, it doesn't matter where you three rough guys live. Girls need to be cared for."
