Chapter 220 Please Help

After eating noodles, Li Yaren couldn't wait to say: "I just listened to your ideas and selected five places. I will take you to see houses from near to far, okay?"

When this was said, the Gu family naturally had no dissatisfaction.

Unlike Wang Yaren's uncooperative attitude before, Li Yaren was honest and hardworking. When he was eating noodles, he had already planned which places to go.

Although Li Yaren was young and had not been in this business for a long time, he was attentive. He took a group of people to see houses one by one.

"This house is also equipped with a well in the yard, but the only drawback is that the yard is too small and the road in front of the door is too narrow. If the car is slightly wider, it may not be able to go out. It is not convenient to transport goods out, and it is too far from your home."

"But the advantage is that the price is cheap, and it can barely meet your requirements."

Li Yaren knew that his service objects were the Gu family, so from beginning to end, he took Zhang Yunniang and Liu Xiaoru's words to heart, and selected houses in strict accordance with the requirements of the two.

If one place didn't work, Li Yaren would take them to the next one. After rejecting three places in a row, Li Yaren didn't get discouraged at all.

Li Yaren even comforted them: "Today's time is too tight. Let me think about it and see if there are other suitable houses."

Manager Luo also said to Zhang Yunniang and her sister: "Don't worry, just decide on a house this month."

Zhang Yunniang felt a little relieved.

But when they arrived at the last courtyard, it was also a house in Hongye Lane. The house layout was slightly different from the haunted house they had seen before, but everything was complete.

"There is a well in the courtyard and a stone mill. This was originally a tofu workshop. But after his father passed away, the tofu made by the current head of the family was always not tasty. The business was bad, so he had to sell the house and make a living in the suburbs." Li Yaren explained in detail the reason why the owner sold the house.

Confirming that it was not a haunted house, everyone nodded.

Niuniu opened her arms, ran around the yard, turned around, and asked her mother with a smile: "Mom, are we going to buy this place?"

Zhang Yunniang nodded and said: "If you like it, then buy it."

After hearing this, Li Yaren said: "Mrs. Zhang, the reason why this place is placed last is because the owner wants a high price and he is unwilling to lower the price. Otherwise, this place would have been sold long ago."

While speaking, Li Yaren gestured a number to Zhang Yunniang.

It is 20% higher than the market price.

"Are they short of money?" Zhang Yunniang was puzzled.

Li Yaren explained: "This family was born and raised in Beijing. Their ancestors were once rich. It is said that they were once the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in the previous dynasty. Unfortunately, they fell into decline after the change of dynasties and can only make a living by selling tofu."

"The current head of the family can't make good tofu, and he has a son who is addicted to gambling. He can't quit even after breaking an arm. This time he plans to sell the house and buy land in the countryside. He also hopes that he can quit gambling after leaving Beijing."

Hearing that he is a gambler, all the Gu family members frowned slightly, but there is really nothing wrong with this house.

"Mom, buy it. It's close to home and the road in front is wide. I like this place too. If I don't have enough money, I will pay some. I just learned a poem that says that even if all the money is spent, it will come back..." Niuniu pulled Zhang Yunniang's sleeve and acted coquettishly.

Zhang Yunniang had thousands of reasons not to buy it, but she only needed one reason to buy it: Niuniu likes it.

Neither she nor Liu Xiaoru would refuse Niuniu's pleading. After hearing this, they decided to buy it on the spot.

The house for opening a workshop is different from the house for living. The marinade workshop is the foundation of the Gu family now, so they must buy the house first to feel at ease.

Although Mrs. Gu felt sorry for the money, she also knew that the family affairs were now decided by her son and his wife.

When she really bargained with the owner, Mrs. Gu knew it was time for her to take action.

The old lady's turbid eyes suddenly became sharp, and her picky eyes swept across the entire courtyard, picking out countless problems in a very short time.

One sentence after another, the owner was forced to retreat step by step.

The owner didn't even want to do business anymore, and said: "If you don't want to buy it, forget it..."

When Mrs. Gu heard this, she raised her eyelids and said: "You have been selling this house for so long, and no one has bought it. If you lose me as a buyer, who can you sell it to?"

The owner lowered his head.

The situation was similar to what Mrs. Gu said. There were many people looking at the house, but not many people were really willing to buy it. But he was also anxious.

What he didn't tell the broker was that his son was almost out of control.

If the whole family had not been on guard, the son would have gone out to gamble during this period.

If he really went to the gambling table, it would be hard to say whether the house could be saved.

Old Lady Gu looked at his expression and took advantage of the victory, saying: "Let's be merciful and buy it. Don't you want your son to stop gambling? We can also help you think of a way."

The owner of the house was excited when he heard this, and asked: "Do you really have a way to make my son stop gambling?"

Old Lady Gu said: "It depends on whether you are willing to give it up."

The owner of the house shook his head vigorously and said: "He is my only child. I can't bear to use too cruel methods."

Old Lady Gu said: "Do you have grandchildren?"

The owner of the house sighed and said: "How can he get married?"

The old lady said: "Find him a wife."

The owner of the house said: "A girl from a good family, everyone knows his situation. I can only go out of town to find someone."

Old Lady Gu felt that there was no need to harm a good-tempered girl in this situation, and said, "You go find a girl with a tough temper and explain your family situation to her. For your son, you can even find a widow and lure her with money. Think of a way to leave him a descendant first."

"After leaving a descendant, if you can be cruel, break his legs. If you can't be cruel, force him to farm every day."

The owner said, "My son is so delicate, how can he farm?"

"Then you can bear to see him lose his hands and feet in a gambling spree? How can you be so cruel as a father!" Old Lady Gu accused on the spot.

Homeowner:...

The house was finally sold, and the price didn't drop too much, but it was much cheaper than before.

"Grandma is really amazing. Every time you take action, you can save a lot of money for the family!" Niuniu looked at Old Lady Gu with admiration.

Old Lady Gu smoothed her clothes with dignity and said, "I have lived for most of my life and followed you to the capital. I will definitely help you gain a foothold in the capital."

When Old Lady Gu said this, she completely forgot how scared she was to go to the city.

On the other hand, Li Yaren said, "Old Lady, you have a quick mind, rich experience, and a sharp tongue. If you were not short of money, I would have asked you to help me."
