Crossing the Unknown Country

There is also a street next to where rich people live, but Su He doesn't want it either. It is a place that will invite trouble. If something goes wrong, this yard will also be affected.

Finally, they came to the courtyard that Qin Ming mentioned. As soon as they pushed open the vermilion gate, Su He liked this courtyard. There was a thriving pomegranate tree on the right, and a neat and clean grape trellis against the wall. There was a stone table and four stone benches underneath. It was very cool to eat here. The best thing was that there was a well at the door of the kitchen, so there was no need to go out to fetch water. It was very convenient to use water for washing and cooking.

There are five rooms in the main house and two rooms on each side of the house. There is a kitchen, a toilet, a storage room, and a study. The furniture in the house is complete and neatly placed there, all included in the house fee. Because the journey is long, the old couple only took the easy things and left the rest. They didn't even take all the pots and bowls in the kitchen. They can move in directly when they come, just buy new bedding. Because people have been living there for a long time, the owner takes good care of the house and even keeps the front and back of the house very clean. This house is really what they are most satisfied with. Without hesitation, the whole family likes it, and the two brothers also looked at the houses one by one and chose their own house.

After asking the price, three hundred taels of silver was not too expensive. Su He's father could afford it right away. He also had to pay twenty taels of deed tax to the broker, and Qin Gang had to pay eight taels of silver as a broker's fee. He said he didn't need to pay him. All in all, it was three hundred and twenty-eight taels of silver. Su He and the others thought they should buy it right away.

As for Qin Gang's commission, he had to give it, because it was what he deserved. Su He's father said he would never give it to him. Fortunately, he met them today, otherwise he would never find such a satisfactory house. They went directly to the pawnshop with Qin Gang to complete the formalities, and then went to the government office to exchange the title deed, and then they officially bought the house. When they held the title deed and the key in their hands, only they knew how they felt in their hearts. From the shabby house at the beginning to being able to buy a house in the city, this difficult journey was only understood by them.

Su He's father took Qin Ming and Qin Gang to a nearby tavern for a meal. They didn't go to Fu Man Lou for Qin Ming, who would definitely not have a good meal there. Shopkeeper Wu would not let them pay the bill, which would make Su He's father feel bad. It would be better for them to eat somewhere else, where they could feel more relaxed, and not eat two meals a day at Fu Man Lou.

Su He's father didn't skimp on the food, and asked the store to serve their signature dishes and bring some good wine, so that they could happily celebrate the purchase of a satisfactory house. They had a good meal, and since they were neighbors in the future, there was no need to be polite.

After everyone finished eating, Su He's father took the three children to say goodbye to their brothers and prepared to buy some bedding to put in the house. Tomorrow morning, he will come back to pack up, stay overnight, buy some things and leave. With his own house, he doesn't have to rush back and forth. Every time he came to Fengyu City, he never had a good time. Now that he has a place to stay, he doesn't have to rush home.

Su He's father took his children to the cloth shop to buy ten quilts. Because they bought too many, the cloth shop asked the shop assistant to help deliver them to the house. They put the quilts away and decided not to stay there today. The mule cart was still at the inn. The money for today's stay had already been paid, so it would be a loss if they didn't stay there.

They returned to the inn and sold the noodles they brought to the innkeeper. He said that the noodles were very popular and asked them to keep them. Su He and his friends didn't even leave, and they sold all the noodles. The brothers couldn't believe their good luck.

The next morning, after settling the bills, they drove the mule cart directly to their new home. After driving the mule cart into the yard and parking it, they began to clean up the house together, bought some necessary things, and arranged each room so that every time someone came, they could stay there directly. They also found a secret compartment under the study, which could store some important things.

Su He discussed with her father about digging a tunnel under the kitchen and a basement room next to the well. Her father readily agreed. It was better to make more preparations in this chaotic world! This time, Su He decided to use wood to pave the ground. The winter at their house was too cold. The ground was already cold and gloomy. If you stay there for a long time, you will feel uncomfortable.

When she got home, she laid out the wooden boards whenever she had time. They were all used by her family, so there was no waste. Su He felt that she had developed a fear of crisis, and always wanted to learn from rabbits and have several homes. But she forgot that rabbits were often hunted by hunters. She couldn't care less now, and just did what she could think of.
