Chapter 488 Treasure Hunt!
Xu Qingluo and Zhou Yuheng took advantage of these two hours every day to go out and inquire about the courtyard.
After asking around for two or three days, I finally found out the news.
Zhou Yuheng learned about this courtyard from a fellow villager who was selling soda at the entrance of a convenience store. A former landlord lived near his fellow villager's home.
After the landlord cleared his name and returned to the city, the state returned his house and other belongings to him.
When the landlord was sent down to the countryside, his children cruelly cut off ties with him.
Now that the landlord has been cleared of his grievances and owns two courtyards at this time of housing shortage, everyone is eyeing his courtyard.
Even the children who had cut off ties with their parents came back to fulfill their filial duties. It was both ridiculous and sad.
The old landlord is old and plans to sell the big yard and keep the small one for himself.
The money from selling the yard will be used for my retirement.
He had no worries and his children all had their own plans, so he simply sold the yard and used the money to enjoy himself before he died.
When he dies, the small courtyard will be handed over to the country, and the country will naturally help collect his body!
He will take care of him in his old age and see him to the end of his life, so there is no need to trouble his children who have severed ties with him!
"Wife, this way."
Zhou Yuheng brought Xu Qingluo to the courtyard. The style of this courtyard was not like the courtyards in Kyoto, which had a strong historical atmosphere.
Instead, the wind is towards the small Western-style building in Haishi, which was a two-story villa in the Republic of China period.
The front and back yards are not made of dirt, but cement, which shows at a glance how wealthy this family once was.
Zhou Yuheng and Xu Qingluo discussed the price with the old landlord. The house was in good condition and they could move in as long as the walls and floors were renovated.
The old landlord was anxious to sell, and Xu Qingluo was also anxious to buy, so the talks between the two sides went very smoothly.
In the end, Xu Qingluo bought the villa for 3 yuan. The old landlord and his children severed their ties with him in the newspaper, and he was the only one registered in the household.
He didn't need to discuss the sale of the villa with his family, and he didn't need his family to sign and fingerprint the agreement with Xu Qingluo.
However, Xu Qingluo still made an extra preparation and asked the old landlord to write a letter of guarantee for her.
The main purpose was to ensure that even if he eased his relationship with his children in the future, once this yard was sold to Xu Qingluo, it would have nothing to do with her children.
It’s not that Xu Qingluo deliberately wanted to expose the scars of the old landlord’s children, but the human heart is the most terrifying thing.
What's more, she and the old landlord had only met once, and their relationship was that of seller and buyer.
If house prices go up in the future, his children will come and make trouble.
Xu Qingluo also had sufficient evidence to prove that she had bought the villa legitimately.
The old landlord thought of the expressions on his children's faces and wrote a certificate for her without saying a word.
"Old man, let's go get the money now."
"We'll meet at the Housing Authority."
"it is good."
Xu Qingluo and Zhou Yuheng took their passbooks to the credit union to withdraw money. When they arrived at the Housing Management Office, the old man was already waiting there.
After the house transfer procedures were completed, Xu Qingluo and Zhou Yuheng returned the money and the old man to his home.
The old man now lives in a small old Western-style building. He has hired a nanny to take care of him, and he lives comfortably and leisurely alone.
"Here's thirty thousand yuan. Please count it, old man."
"it is good."
The old man took a quick look, mainly to see if there were any counterfeit coins mixed in.
Each of them was cautious, and after the old man confirmed that the amount was correct, the two parties exchanged money and goods.
"Here is the key to the villa."
"I don't want the furniture in there either."
"Just deal with it as you see fit."
Many of the furniture inside were damaged, and the old gentlemen had taken the ones that were still usable back home for use.
The remaining furniture is mostly missing parts, and there are very few that are intact.
After Zhou Yuheng and Xu Qingluo got the key, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a new lock.
"Wife, when the time comes, just renovate the walls and floors of this villa."
"The toilet needs to be renovated."
Zhou Yuheng inspected the villa thoroughly. Although some of the furniture was missing parts, the house was in good condition!
They can save a lot of money on house decoration.
"I'll hire someone to renovate it later."
She doesn't plan to renovate the house in the next few years, and they don't live here. If it is renovated and no one lives in it, the house will become old.
It won’t be too late to renovate it when transportation becomes more convenient in the future.
"Ah."
The couple moved some useless furniture to a corner and piled them up.
Xu Qingluo imitated the heroines in some novels and knocked on the table legs and stool legs one by one.
She had read in novels that the heroines always found treasures. What if she was lucky enough to find something good too?
When Zhou Yuheng learned of her thoughts, he didn't know what to say. He felt helpless, but he indulged her with his actions.
The couple kept knocking here and there, and the system couldn't help but complain when they saw it.
"Host, what are you dreaming about?"
"These tables and chairs are all broken and worthless."
"If you want to hunt for treasure, you might as well go to the scrap yard."
The system knew from a scan that these discarded tables and chairs were not made of valuable wood, and it was even less likely that they contained any good things.
"What if?"
"Besides, you don't understand the fun of treasure hunting."
The system looked at Xu Qingluo's persistent curiosity and interest in silence, perhaps it didn't understand the fun of humans.
As long as its host is happy.
Dong Dong Dong...
Xu Qingluo took a tattered stick and knocked at them one by one, but in the end he got nothing. He sat down on the ground with a dead heart.
Her legs were numb after squatting for so long.
When Xu Qingluo sat down, what she sat on was not the hard and cold floor, but soft shoes.
"Na."
Zhou Yuheng's voice was close to her ears, and he handed the thing in his hand to her. Xu Qingluo looked up and her eyes widened instantly.
"Where did you find it!?"
Xu Qingluo happily picked up the jewelry box from his hand, opened it and saw several pieces of jewellery inside.
There is a pearl necklace, ruby earrings, a glass-grown green jade bracelet, and a jade pendant.
"There."
Zhou Yuheng pointed to the dressing table beside him. He found the jewelry box in the secret compartment of the dressing table.
I think it was hidden by the wife of a wealthy businessman before, and she didn't have time to take it away after the turmoil.
"Any more?"
Xu Qingluo looked at him with bright eyes, and Zhou Yuheng was instantly amused when he saw her money-loving look.
She looked just like her two sons when they saw something delicious.
The mother and her two children all had the same expression, tone and movements.
"What are you thinking about?"
Zhou Yuheng flicked her forehead with his index finger. Xu Qingluo covered her forehead and glared at him, then stood up and slowly admired the jewelry in her hand.
"This bracelet is really beautiful."
Xu Qinglu’s favorite is this glass-type full green jade bracelet. Bracelets with such high water quality can only be bought at auctions in the future.
