"I'm back to work. I'm out purchasing with my colleagues. Brother Dabiao, I missed you so much." Yu Haitang suddenly fell into Zhang Dabiao's arms.
"Have you been wronged?" Zhang Dabao asked.
"I don't want to live in the factory where there's no one to talk to," Yu Haitang's voice choked.
"Have you found a courtyard that you like?" Zhang Dabao asked.
"I haven't seen it yet. I work in the factory every day, so how do I have the time to watch it? I'll ask my sister to go and see it. Then I can let her live with me, and the three of us can live together. How about that?" Yu Haitang made a big move.
"Three people together?" Zhang Dabao almost dropped his eyes in shock. This Yu Haitang was too avant-garde. He almost agreed directly.
"Zhang Dabao spanked her on the buttocks twice."
"What I said is true. My sister will definitely agree. You are good-looking, rich, and young. Aren't you better than those rich old men in the past?" Yu Haitang said.
"What kind of books do you read every day?" Zhang Dabao spanked her butt twice again.
"Have lunch here today, then ask your sister to inquire about the courtyard. Once you've found out, come here to find me. I'll be here for the next few days. After Zhou kills the donkey, I'll go back to Courtyard No. 95," said Zhang Dabao.
"Okay." Yu Haitang was very happy because Zhang Dabao had softened his tone.
During the meal, Yu Haitang complained about Wan Jihua, especially when he said that he would make a fortune soon, which caught Zhang Dabao's attention.
How could a technician make a fortune? Zhang Dabiao became suspicious again and took Wan Jihua to heart.
After dinner, Yu Haitang left. Zhang Dabao closed the door and began to rest. In the evening he would go to Beiluoguxiang to see what that place was doing.
Yu Li was very worried about her sister because Yu Haitang had not been home for five or six days, but her parents were not worried at all. Her uncle and she had been looking for her for two days. Her sister did not go to school, and she asked the families of several of her close friends, but they said she had not gone. Yu Li became even more worried.
The younger brother returned home, became a little more sensible, and went back to school. However, his grades had fallen too far, and there would be no improvement. When he graduated from junior high school, he would be unemployed. Yu Li felt bad when she thought about working, as she had graduated from junior high school for several years and still hadn't found a job.
"Sister, you are at home" Yu Haitang came back.
"Where have you been? You've been away for five or six days and didn't even bring back a letter." Yu Li saw her sister hugged her and slapped her several times.
"I started working and lived in the factory dormitory," said Yu Haitang.
"What kind of job?" Yu Li was confused.
"Mining Machinery Factory, working as an announcer at a radio station," said Yu Haitang.
"How did you find it? Was it arranged by that person for you? Do you really think you are a kid?" Yu Li asked several questions in a row.
"What's wrong with me being a kid? I asked someone to rescue Yu Fashui. My family forced me to beat him up, and scolded me if I refused. Aren't you at home too?" Yu Haitang said.
"But..." Yu Li wanted to persuade her.
"No buts. I want your help to see if there is a small courtyard for sale near our unit. It doesn't have to be too big. It doesn't matter if it has a formal seat or not. Just an independent courtyard will do. If you find one, come to the mining machinery factory to find me. Don't tell your family. If you tell them, our sisterly relationship will end. I mean what I say," Yu Haitang said seriously.
"He also wants to buy a house for you? The investment is so huge?" Yu Li was a little surprised.
"You can also go and live there, and ask him to find a job for you. I have no objection," Yu Haitang said with a smile.
"You naughty child, I'll teach you a lesson." Yu Li hit her sister a few more times.
Yu Haitang is gone, and Yu Li is upset. Her sister is going to live alone so soon, and she has a good job, but what about herself? She has no job and no status at home. Why not consider her sister's words?
Chapter 192 Yu Li Views a House
It was late at night and Beiluoguxiang was quite busy. A few people would come every now and then, sometimes one, sometimes two or three, but without exception, everyone inside knew these people.
After these people went in, some would leave after about ten minutes, and the longest would stay in for more than twenty minutes. When they left, they would take some things with them. Zhang Dabiao had been watching from the big tree nearby for nearly an hour. He now understood that this was a black market for acquaintances. It seemed that the boss here was very smart and had thought of the concept of a club in the 60s.
The advantage of doing this is that the risk is small, and the transactions are done by acquaintances, so the possibility of exposure is much smaller. However, these groups often have large demands, and they are all wealthy people, either the upstarts, the old guard, or people whose money comes from unknown sources.
Zhang Dabao was a little unhappy that they were not enemy spies. However, when he thought of his almost empty wallet, he had a bold idea, which was to rob them. He would not have any psychological burden in robbing them.
The transaction in the yard lasted until three o'clock in the morning. The two hangers-on opened the door and went out, locking the door when they left. This should mean that the transaction for the day was over and there was no one inside.
There were people in the room, two of them. After the two hangers-on left, the two of them came out of the room, went to the bathroom, and discussed something. It seemed that business was good today.
At this moment, Zhang Dabao jumped from the tree into the yard and leaned his body against the wall. Both of them were sleepy by now. After urinating, they washed their hands and walked towards the north room.
Zhang Dabao knocked the two men unconscious with one palm, then tied them up and took them to the north room.
When they came into the room, they saw quite a lot of things, including rice, noodles, grain, oil, cigarettes, alcohol, sugar and tea. It was quite complete. Zhang Dabao didn't hesitate to put them into the space, put them on the bed and covered them with a quilt. Zhang Dabao began to rummage around, and found their cash flow in the small box under the bed. It was a full small box with ten-yuan, five-yuan and three-yuan notes. Zhang Dabao accepted them all. This box must be worth several thousand yuan. I don't know how long this was their turnover, but it shows one thing: VIP is good and the consumption is high.
There were two bicycles in the east wing, but Zhang Dabiao didn't want them. It was fine to ride them by himself, but it was difficult to register them. However, there were two sewing machines, so he didn't hesitate to buy them. My second sister and I would buy them when we got married, so wouldn't this save money? There were also some food, pots, pans, quilts and other things in the west wing, but Zhang Dabiao took them away. As for the two of them, he kept them. There weren't many people with such brains. Maybe they could make a comeback in the future.
Although no enemy spies were found, Zhang Dabao got an unexpected gain. He was even happier. He returned to Chunfeng Hutong and was so excited that he barely fell asleep at dawn.
The crow that was monitoring Beiluoguxiang was also brought back and placed at the intersection to see if anyone would leave a mark at the intersection to wake up Liu Cuiping, the lone goose. As for Wan Jihua from the Mining Machinery Factory, Zhang Dabao's intuition told him that this person must be related to Damao.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the crows that were monitoring Goldfish Alley gave Zhang Dabao a strong signal, and the man took action.
Through the crow's vision, Zhang Dabao discovered that the man was wearing a well-fitting Zhongshan suit and was obviously a cadre. He was carrying a briefcase in his hand and seemed to be going somewhere.
After taking the bus for two stops, he got off the bus and found a rickshaw to take him to a crossroads. Here he turned into an alley and tied his shoelaces in the corner. Zhang Dabao saw a brick in the corner, took it down, and put a piece of paper in it.
The man raised his head, looked around, walked quickly out of the alley, went to a state-owned restaurant, ordered a bowl of noodles, ate his meal, and went back home.
Zhang Dabao knew that the man passed information to his superior through the dead mailbox. Now he was not the focus. It all depended on when his superior would come to ask for the paper.
Things like paper will not last long if placed in the corner of the wall. Bricks are materials that reflect water very well. Over time, the paper will get damp and may rot, making it impossible to read the information.
The crow is now perched above the dead mailbox, waiting to see when the online version will come.
After not sleeping well the previous night, Zhang Dabao ate something and fell asleep again.
Today, after finishing her housework, Yu Li went out. She had to help with something her sister had asked her to do, so she came to the Dongjiao Street Office where the mining machinery factory was located.
"My sister is getting married and works in a mining machinery factory. I want to ask if there is any house transaction," Yu Li asked in a low voice about work.
Since there are no real estate agents now, some homeowners who want to sell their houses will tell their information to the street staff and ask them to help with the sales. After the deal is done, they will give some token of appreciation. This is probably an unspoken rule.
"You want a house? How big do you want?" a woman in her forties said enthusiastically.
"A separate courtyard will do, with one entrance, and it doesn't have to be a main seat, but it must be a separate courtyard, and it would be best if there is a well," Yu Li expressed her sister's request.
"Your sister's partner is quite good, and they are going to get married in a separate courtyard," the eldest sister complimented and took out a notebook from the drawer.
"There are three independent courtyards. One has two entrances and is over 600 square meters; two have one entrance, but neither is the main house; this one has three north and two west sides, a southeast door, and no south room, but a shed; this one has two north rooms, three east and three west sides, also a southeast door, and a shed on the south. None of them have wells, but all have running water," the elder sister introduced.
Yu Li felt that the latter two were both good, but she couldn't make the decision, so she could only say to her elder sister, "I'll ask my sister to come over. Can I go and take a look at the scene?"
"Anyone can come and see it. The owner has entrusted us to sell it. He has gone abroad. The key is with me. You can come and see it anytime. I will just give you the lowest price. It's not my house. He won't give it to me if I sell it for more," the eldest sister said enthusiastically to Li.
"Sister, how much is it? Let me talk to my sister about it." Yu Li then realized that she had not asked the most crucial question, the price.
"The second courtyard is 6000 yuan, the three-room north house is 1500 yuan, and the two-room north house is 2000 yuan. These are the lowest prices," said the elder sister, looking at the notebook.
"Okay, thank you, sister. We will come to find you then." Yu Li said, then left the street office and arrived at the mining machinery factory.
"I'm looking for Yu Haitang, I'm her sister," Yu Li said at the guard post.
"Yu Haitang, our factory beauty, you are her sister, also very beautiful," the guard said, and called the radio station. Not long after, Yu Haitang came out and thanked the guard.
"Haitang" Yu Li was very envious when she saw Yu Haitang in work clothes.
"Let's go to the factory dormitory. You sit there for a while. I'll take a leave and we'll go find Zhang Dabao after lunch." The Yu sisters said as they walked. Yu Haitang asked her sister to go to the dormitory to wait for her.
Chapter 193: Threesome
Yu Haitang invited Yu Li to have lunch in the factory cafeteria, and after lunch, the two came to Chunfeng Hutong.
Zhang Dabiao was sleeping soundly at this time. When he heard someone knocking on the door, he opened the door despite his sleepiness. When he saw that it was the Yu sisters, he asked, "Why are you here?"
"My sister went to see two courtyards and came to discuss it with you," said Yu Haitang.
"How much?" Zhang Dabao asked.
"One set is 1500 yuan and the other is 2000 yuan," said Yu Haitang.
"What's there to discuss? Buy them all, I'll get you the money," Zhang Dabiao heard that two sets only cost 3500 yuan. What's there to worry about? Is he going to tell you that he made more than 16000 yuan last night? Today, he counted his gains before going to bed, and there were more than 3500 yuan in cash, and there were so many things he hadn't counted. Would he care about yuan when he was so inflated?
Zhang Dabao counted out 3500 yuan from under the mattress and gave it to Yu Haitang.
"Don't you want to go and take a look?" Yu Haitang asked.
"Why should I go to see it? They are not buying it for me." Zhang Dabao's reason was so strong that Yu Haitang was speechless.
"We two don't dare to go with so much money." Yu Li was also stunned by Zhang Dabao's arrogance.
Zhang Dabiao thought about it and realized that it made sense. It was not appropriate for two women to carry so much cash. So he washed his face, rode his motorcycle, and took the Yu sisters to the Dongjiao Street Office. He called the sister from the street office and went to see the two houses. The houses were not bad. They were both new and did not need to be repaired after they were bought. The basic furniture was still there. Finally, they decided to buy them all. Zhang Dabiao asked Yu Haitang to handle the formalities.
"Sister, have you made up your mind?" Yu Haitang pulled her sister, and Yu Li followed.
"What are you thinking about?" Yu Li has not yet recovered from Zhang Dabao's generosity.
"About the house. As I told you, if you are willing, I will put one of the houses under your name. If you don't want to, forget it," said Yu Haitang.
"Haitang, if people knew about this, would we still be able to live as human beings? How would we get married? How would we tell our family?" Yu Li was a little conflicted.
"If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who will know? I called you because I was afraid that I couldn't compete with He Yushui. If you were not my sister, would I have looked for you? A yard and 1500 yuan are enough to marry 10 wives. What will you tell your family? Will they care about you? They only have Yu Fashui in their hearts. Who knows what will happen in the future? You can't even make a living now, and you still want to have a future..." Yu Haitang's words pierced Yu Li's heart like a sword. Her sister was right, but she always felt unwilling.
"Don't think about it, we'll find a solution together when the time comes." Yu Haitang helped her sister, and after some reluctance, Yu Li agreed.
The street office can directly issue the formalities. After the two of them completed the formalities, they came out of the street office, looking a little dazed. They actually had a small courtyard under their names, and it was an independent courtyard. Before today, it was something they dared not even think about.
Yu Li has now come to terms with it. It is better to have something of her own than to have it from her parents. Now that she has a yard, she will not lose anything no matter what she exchanges it for, so she is no longer worried about it.
"Brother Dabao, the formalities have been completed. My sister and I will each get one set, so you can enjoy it at a low price," Yu Haitang said to Zhang Dabao after getting in the car.
What do you mean by "getting a bargain for me"? I paid 3500 yuan, how can it be a bargain? Zhang Dabiao was about to refute, but then he thought of something Yu Haitang said before, "No, are you serious? If you are serious, I really can't resist the temptation."
Zhang Dabao turned around and glanced at Yu Haitang, who was looking at him proudly.
"Where are we going now?" Zhang Dabao asked the two.
"Let's go to the newly bought courtyard. I happened to have taken a day off today. After buying some things, we can move in. We won't have to live in the dormitory anymore," Yu Haitang said happily.
Yu Haitang wanted the larger one of the two north, three east and three west houses. The courtyard should have been renovated after liberation. The house looked new and had basic furniture. But the sanitation was not good. No one had lived there for a long time, so it needed to be thoroughly cleaned. There were no beddings, daily necessities, pots and pans, rice, flour, grain and oil.
When Zhang Dabiao heard what Yu Haitang was missing, he thought, wasn't that what he collected last night? I collected so many things, and you just happened to be missing something. Was this specially prepared for you? What a coincidence.
If you want to gain something, you must first sow. For the sake of happiness, Zhang Dabao endured it.
After putting the two of them in the yard to clean, Zhang Dabao said he was going to buy daily necessities. They rested outside for about an hour and then returned to Yu Haitang's yard. The two of them did a lot in an hour and the whole yard was much cleaner.
Zhang Dabao prepared two sets of pots, pans, and bedding, and even two portions of rice, flour, grain, and oil, and placed them all in Yu Haitang's room.
