Because Lin Chengzhi had given orders solemnly before, Lin Lewei started looking at the house after returning to Beijing, but Yaman took him to see several houses but was not very satisfied.

That day, an old lady named Chai, who lives in Tianshui Hutong, came to him and said with a smile when she saw her, "Big nephew, I heard you want to buy a house?"

Le Wei nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, my second brother wants to buy a house nearby, so that everyone will take care of any matters at home in the future."

Aunt Chai didn't beat around the bush and said, "That's right. The Wu family wants to sell the house. If you want to buy it, I can help you talk to it."

If this matter is done, she will get a gift, and according to the rules, she will have to pay several taels of silver.

Le Wei was a little surprised: "Wu family wants to sell their house, why is it so far?"

Lu knew the importance of being close to his neighbors, so when he had time, he would take his children and chat with the neighbor’s women. So they roughly knew the details of these families in Tianshui Hutong.

Aunt Chai said, "Dad Wu cannot do heavy work since he was injured, and Wu Dakui owes a lot of debts outside. So Da Da Wu wants to sell the house and pay off the debts. He goes back to buy a few acres of thin land. If you have the land, the family will not starve to death."

The Wu family is still very famous in Tianshui Lane. Because his daughter is beautiful and smart, his son Wu Dakui is not only stupid but also lazy. Wu Madam is an embroidery girl who relies on embroidery to support the family and his father Wu is engaged in the food business. Seven years ago, Wu Madam died of a bad disease. Five years ago, Wu Madam was hit by a playboy's horse and was seriously injured. In order to cure the injury, all the things that could be sold at home were sold. At most, Wu Madam gave his daughter to an official as a concubine and got a sum of money. After getting the debt, he married his son.

Who would have thought that after getting married, Wu Dakui not only did not make progress, but also ate and drank with the second-rate men on the street and owed a lot of foreign debts. Wu Dakui often brought his friends outside to eat outside, and he had to spend more than ten taels of silver every month. Even if there was a gold mine in the Wu family, he was not defeated. To make matters worse, in the middle of last year, Wu Dakui quarreled with his wife who was about to give birth and pushed him into labor, causing a difficult child, but the adults were gone. The woman's family came to make a fuss with them, and finally asked for a compensation and left.

Le Wei asked, "Does the Wu family really want to sell their house?"

"Of course it's true. I can still talk about this kind of thing casually! Nephew, if you really want to buy an aunt, please make sure to give you the lowest price."

Le Wei said, "Then the aunt asked me and see how much they plan to sell for?"

"Okay."

Aunt Chai was quite fast, and she replied to Le Wei the next day: "The Wu family said they wanted 1,800 taels of silver, and if they were willing, they could sign a contract at any time."

Le Wei shook his head and said, "It's too expensive, not cost-effective."

Aunt Chai said, "If you are sure to buy it, I can help you pay the price. It's okay to lose thirty or fifty taels."

Le Wei still politely refused.

But she didn't expect that Aunt Chai would not be willing to pay the commission and found Zhang Qiaoniang and talked about it. Because Le Wei told her about it in advance, Zhang Qiaoniang refused on the grounds that she had never cared about the outside.

After lobbying for several times, Aunt Chai gave up.

Who would have thought that a restaurant came to ask for debts a few days later? Old Man Wu was so angry that he fainted. The restaurant was afraid of forcing people to death and went back.

Who would have thought that Dad Wu secretly sold the house and then took the money to his hometown with his grandchildren. Wu Dakui had been wandering around, and after a few days he came home, he found out that the house had changed hands.

Zhang Qiaoniang was secretly grateful when she heard this and said, "Fortunately we didn't buy this house at that time, otherwise we wouldn't be able to do anything to Wu Dakui if he didn't leave."

Le Wei said: "This Wu Dakui has so many people who are not bad at all. It will definitely be troublesome to buy the house directly from the Wu family."

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she looked at him and asked, "Do you know who this house is in now?"

Le Wei nodded and said, "I know, it's in Yaxing's hands."

Zhang Qiaoniang understood and asked, "Awei, do you want A Shu to buy this house?"

"Dad told me to buy a house for Leshu nearby so that the family can take care of each other. The house is only a few steps away from us, and it is very convenient to walk."

Zhang Qiaoniang hesitated and said, "Lewei, will the house be prosperous and unrestrained? The Wu family was originally fine, but when they moved in, they had an accident one after another."

Lu said, "Mom, it has nothing to do with Feng Shui that the Wu family has not raised a good son. Even if there is nothing wrong with Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu, a prodigal son, Wu Dakui, will definitely be defeated in their family."

However, Mr. Wu was still a little brainy and knew that Wu Dakui had no cure and gave up on him.

Zhang Qiaoniang is more taboo about these things: "Let's take a look and you will definitely find the house you like."

Le Wei looked at Leshu and asked, "What do you mean? If you also think this house is unlucky, then I'll go somewhere else to take a look."

Leshu shook his head and said, "Brother, I don't believe in these things. We will go and see the house in two days. If it is better, we will settle down."

"No hurry, we will go to Yaxing when Wu Dakui's affairs are resolved."

"good."

After a two-day rest in the capital, Leshu went to work in the shop. Lewei originally wanted him to serve dishes and entertain guests, but Leshu didn't like to deal with those people, but stayed in the kitchen to help Zhang.

At first, Lewei and Lu were worried that he would not be able to endure this hard work for two days and then quit. However, they did not expect that they had been busy at the shop for half a month, without saying a word of pain or fatigue.

Of course, after he came back from work at the shop, he just cared about his new brother, and he was not at all involved in the work at home. However, Le Wei and others were already very satisfied with his performance and did not dare to ask for more.

On the second day, Wu Dakui was arrested by people from one of the restaurants. Later, there were rumors that Wu Dakui was beaten to death, and some said he was sold to the mine. No one knew what happened, but since that day, this person disappeared from everyone's sight.

After Le Wei received the news, he went to Yaxing and told everyone about this on the evening of the day: "I made an appointment with Yaxing to go and see the house tomorrow afternoon. Leshu, you will be with me at that time."

"good."

Buying a house is a big deal, and Zhang Qiaoniang is also very concerned: "I'll go with you tomorrow."

Le Wei responded in one go.

After dinner, the couple returned to the house. Le Wei and Lu said, "Wife, when they returned to Beijing that day, my father gave me 1,600 taels of silver. I guess the house may cost 1,780 taels of silver. There is still a shortage of 200 taels of silver. Let's pay it first and return it to us when my father comes back."

The income of the Lin family's breakfast shop was controlled by Lu, and he only had a little pocket money on hand.

Lu is not so inhumane. She said, "You have to explain this to Leshu clearly, otherwise he would think we are greedy for his money!"
