The widower thinks his fate is tough, but he can't bear to face the nagging couple every day. He has reached the limit of his patience. If he hadn't received a sum of money from Mr. Zhang before, and the part-time job showed people the high income, he might have run away long ago.
That's okay, he's doing it now, saving up a sum of money, and when the matter is settled, he has to have fun, eat well and drink hot food, or he will collapse.
He sympathizes with the two of them, but what's the use of sympathy? No matter where it is, the rich and the powerful have the final say. Ordinary people can only accept their fate, because they cannot afford to be blamed.
A light flashed in Li Haitang's mind, and suddenly, she felt that she had to grasp something.
"You mean, all the houses around here are going to be sold?"
Li Haitang rubbed his chin, called the gatekeeper aside, and whispered, "Is the news accurate?"
"What's wrong with that? The keys are all in my hands."
The doorman went back to the porter's room and came out again with a bunch of keys in his hand.
The house was deserted for several months. At first, these people wanted to avoid the limelight and come back when the ghosts stopped.
They didn't believe it at first, but when they came back, they found that it was indeed an evil door. When they woke up in the morning, the door was always open, and no one noticed that someone entered in the middle of the night.
Someone thought of a way to put a bell on the door. If a ghost opened the door in the middle of the night, the bell would ring.
As a result, on the second day, the door was still open, and they didn't hear any movement all night.
Yang Xu's death was so miserable, the ghosts couldn't go away, and his body was still incomplete. When the neighbors thought about it like this, their hairs stood on end, they didn't dare to stay anymore, and they all moved out.
As for the yard, as long as someone takes it over, it can be sold for money!
Li Haitang squinted his eyes, no need to think that someone was playing tricks. This person had a clear purpose and took the opportunity to create panic and then speculate in real estate.
Oh, hey, you're so smart! Buying a yard at half the market price, in a place like Kyoto where every inch of land is very expensive, can make a fortune with just one hand.
After thinking about it for a while, she figured out the trick in the middle, and the one who could do this must be Zhang Zheng, that funny guy who didn't run away.
Otherwise, according to his temperament of no profit, how could it be possible to take Yang Xu's parents into his private house and meddle in other people's business?
Step by step planning, really shrewd!
In order to achieve his ulterior motives, Zhang Zheng would definitely not tell anyone. From the tone and attitude of the gatekeeper, he knew that the other party regarded the haunting as a real thing.
The advantage is right in front of you, don't take advantage of it, and let the fat fly from your mouth, it's not Li Haitang's style.
Back then Zhang Zheng benefited a lot from her, so if he asks for something in return, it should be fine, right?
Thinking of this, Li Haitang took the doorkeeper's key and sighed, "To tell you the truth, I'm a little moved."
Li Haitang said that he came from the north and lived in the outskirts of Kyoto. He finally met an official lady in Kyoto as a sister. The other party also wanted to make friends, but it was very difficult to invite someone to come.
Kyoto is too big, and it takes half a day from the south of the city to the north of the city, let alone the suburbs.
"Ma'am, when you first come to Kyoto, it's best to buy a yard in the city."
The gatekeeper's eyes lit up. The owner said that as long as the yard is sold, he will be paid a middleman fee. He can make a fortune without any effort, so why not do it?
This lady must be persuaded to buy the yard. It would be even better if she could take it all at once!
"Isn't that right, my family has many relatives, and there are six sets of yards in total!"
Li Haitang calculated that the normal price would be more than 10,000 taels for a set of yards, and at least 20,000 taels for larger ones. How to counter-offer a relatively low discount, five to sixty thousand taels of silver for six sets of yards, definitely down.
Once the house is in hand, she can rearrange it. If she wants to build a big house, she can tear down the walls separating it and make it a cross-yard.
It is not the house that is expensive. To build a house, a few hundred taels to a thousand taels is enough. What is valuable is the land deed.
In short, if you can't buy it, you will lose money, you can't buy it, you must start with it!
But how to hide it from Zhang Zheng is a bit of a talk.
"How about I take you to see?"
The gatekeeper grabbed the key and took the lead. Li Haitang left Wufu to embolden the two Xiangli Wang and his wife, and took Li Shortlegs to inspect the surrounding yards.
It is an old house in Kyoto, and the yard is a bit messy. It can be seen that the other party left in a hurry, and some things were lost on the ground, and there was no time to take care of them.
It doesn't matter if the house is broken, it's a big deal to tear it down and rebuild it.
Li Haitang pretended to be nervous on purpose, followed the gatekeeper to look around, then pointed to the small pond dug by a family in the backyard, and said, "It's very dark over there, is it true that no one has died?"
Gatekeeper: …
There are six courtyards in total, the front street and the back street are adjacent to each other, and they can just be connected.
Li Haitang couldn't be more satisfied, and gave Li Short Legs a wink.
Although Li Kuantong didn't know why his wife wanted to eat everything, he cooperated, chirping and pointing out what was wrong.
In short, it's very similar to a ghost house, a haunted house, bad feng shui, and heavy evil spirits. It's almost a cemetery here, but it scares the courageous gatekeeper so that his hairs stand on end and he breaks out in cold sweat frequently.
"Madam, the middleman entrusted me with the key. I know the owner. If you are interested in buying it, you can contact the owner directly. This will save you a middleman's fee."
The addition of several sets of yards, including the silver for the formalities, saved at least one thousand eight hundred taels, which is a lot of money.
"But, isn't it good for people to know that I bought it together?"
Li Haitang could see that the gatekeeper was on the same side as her, and she wished she could sell the yard for a little profit. If she bought it generously, what would happen if those homeowners drove up the price and changed their minds?
This is Zhang Zheng's fancy site, and she was at a loss for cutting Hu, so she had to come up with a regulation to make everything go smoothly.
Of course, it was her wish to buy a house with the least amount of money.
Li Haitang didn't have a lot of money, and this time the real estate speculation would almost use up her family's wealth. If she hadn't robbed a lot of treasures from bandits, she would definitely not have the confidence.
Those jewels cannot be sold for money in the open, and can only be sold on the black market through Xiao Taohong.
As long as there are benefits, the black market has no reason to refuse business, so she is not worried about this.
"That's easy, I can go to the landlord."
The gatekeeper was not stupid, so he came up with an idea. He went to the owner of the house and said that someone was interested in buying a house.
However, there are six of them selling at the same time, so you need to shop around and choose the cheapest and most cost-effective one. As a result, there is a competitive relationship, and the homeowner is anxious to get rid of it, and may even take the initiative to lower the price.
