A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 235 The Thousand-Craft Canopy Bed

After breakfast, Mr. Wu took them to make the remittance.

Of course, about 500,000 yuan in cash was left behind.

After all, Yun Jiao wants to buy a house.

"How many courtyards do you want to buy? Tell me, I happen to have connections and can help you choose one."

Yun Linhai scratched his head: "I think a two- or three-courtyard house is big enough, enough for our whole family to live in."

He's made something of himself; he can even afford a three-courtyard house now.

That's tens of thousands!
Yun Jiao stood with her hands behind her back, acting like a little adult, but the words she spoke were extremely domineering and arrogant.

"I want the biggest and the best-looking one!"

Merfolk are inherently aggressive and domineering.

If you're going to do it, then you should do it the best.

Sometimes, when they learn that other merfolk have particularly beautiful pearls and gems, some merfolk will try to steal or rob them, resulting in fierce and chaotic battles.

Grandpa Yun and the others remained expressionless: …………

I knew it would be like this!

Old Wu burst into laughter.

"This little guy is still to my liking. Come on, your Grandpa Wu will ask someone to help you ask around."

Old Wu and Old Mu walked ahead with their hands behind their backs. They came into an alley and after turning a few corners, they came to a rather secluded two-courtyard house.

Old Wu raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

After a while, the person inside came out. The person was a shrewd-looking middle-aged man who immediately greeted Old Wu respectfully.

"Fourth Master, what gust of wind blew you here?"

Old Wu waved his hand: "Enough with the nonsense. I've come to ask you about something. Does anyone have a courtyard house for sale? Tell me, no matter how big or small, I'm taking my relatives to buy one."

The man glanced at the people behind Old Wu and immediately smiled.

"Then you've come to the right person. I do know a few. Two of them are in a hurry to sell, and the prices they're offering are relatively low. One is a three-courtyard house, where only an elderly couple lives. Their son went abroad to study two years ago, got married there, and plans to develop his career abroad. He's been urging the two of them to go abroad as well. The other one is a four-courtyard house, and the house is quite nice, but... there might be some disputes."

Old Wu said, "Take us to see the three-courtyard house first."

"Alright, this way, everyone."

The middle-aged man turned around, closed the door, and began to lead the way.

"Tell me about that four-courtyard house."

Old Wu warned, "Don't introduce us to any haunted houses."

"That won't happen."

The man quickly said, "Actually, it's not a big deal for you. That house belonged to a young girl, but her parents didn't make it through the war and died outside. Now she's the only one left guarding that house."

However, the girl's father's relatives were shameless. They thought she was young and easy to bully, so they brought their whole family to make a scene, claiming that they also had a share of the property and house.

"Pah... You have no idea how awful those people were when their family had that trouble. Now they're shameless and clinging to them. That young girl was decisive; she'd rather sell the house at a low price than let those people profit from it."

The middle-aged man spoke animatedly, spitting as he spoke, while Yun Jiao ate a biscuit and followed behind Grandpa Wu and the others, listening intently.

Who would have thought that there would be gossip to be had even when buying a house?

"This is it."

They first arrived at the three-courtyard siheyuan.

I knocked on the door, and it took quite a while before someone opened it.

However, the sound of arguing could be heard coming from inside.

"Fifty thousand, we won't sell this house for less than fifty thousand."

The aged voice carried a hint of determination.

Outside the door, the Yun family members secretly gasped upon hearing this.

"Fifty thousand for this house? That's really expensive." "Why are you so stubborn? The highest price for a three-courtyard house these days is only forty thousand, and those houses are much bigger than yours. The price I've offered is already the highest. Once this opportunity is gone, it's gone forever."

The old man smoked a cigarette, his brows furrowed deeply: "I won't sell. I'll just keep the house."

Finally, he looked at the people standing at the door: "Are you here to look at the house too?"

The middle-aged man nodded: "Yes, shall we look at the house first?"

The old man nodded: "Come in."

The man who wanted to buy the house was still not giving up: "Old Liu, have you thought this through? The price I've offered is really the highest I can get, 40,000. Besides your family, are there any other families that can afford a three-courtyard house with that price?"

The old man said directly, "Not for sale!"

Upon hearing this, the man shook his head: "Then you two old folks can just stay here and guard it like this."

After saying that, he left.

Old Liu led the way, saying, "You all heard it too, I won't sell this house for less than 50,000."

Old Wu looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Is this what you mean by selling at a low price?"
The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly and said, "There's a reason for this, Old Liu, please explain it clearly."

Old Liu said, "I said 50,000 is definitely a low price. In addition to this house, all the furniture in the house will also be sold."

He held the pipe behind his back and said, "If it weren't for... I wouldn't be willing to sell it."

"Old man, another guest has arrived."

Once inside the courtyard, an old woman's voice came from inside.

Yun Jiao looked over and saw an old woman with a full head of white hair, wearing a dark cheongsam and a woolen vest.

Although she is old, it is easy to tell from her appearance that she must have been a gentle and beautiful woman when she was young.

His bone structure and temperament are truly exceptional.

Old Liu quickly went over.

"What are you doing out here? Go rest."

It's not hard to tell that the old man, who had been quite stern in his temper and tone of voice just now, now speaks in a much gentler voice.

The two of them standing together created a harmonious atmosphere where no one could get in.

The old woman patted his hand: "I've been sleeping for a long time, come out and take a look."

Her gaze fell on the children, she paused for a moment, then laughed.

His smile was very kind.

Yun Jiao: It feels so familiar.

Yun Xiaowu and the others also felt a sense of familiarity.

When Old Liu showed them the house, Old Mu's eyes fell on the furniture.

The house is clearly well-maintained and very clean, and there is a large jujube tree in the yard.

Of course, what is most impressive is the thousand-craft canopy bed in the old lady's room.

Yun Jiao was truly shocked when she saw this kind of bed for the first time.

You're telling me that something so exquisitely crafted, like a room, with such imposing and luxurious workmanship, is just a bed?!
The old lady gently stroked the canopy bed with her fingers, her eyes filled with reluctance.

An old man standing nearby saw this and opened his mouth as if to say that the house was no longer for sale.

The old lady, however, grasped his hand and shook her head.

The old man could only hang his head in frustration.

"I won't sell this house, including all the furniture inside, for less than 50,000."

His tone was very harsh.

Before the adults could speak, Yun Jiao declared loudly, "Okay, I'll buy it!"

The elderly couple immediately looked at Yun Jiao.

Huh? What did that kid just say?
