Send me to the countryside? Turn around and make you homeless!

The furnishings in this room are still the same as before. After all, Tan Yuan has lived here for so many years, so of course she is very familiar with it.

The hidden property certificate was soon found in the secret compartment of the cabinet.

Her name, Tan Yuan, was clearly written on the certificate.

Just these two words can prove that this house belongs to Tan Yuan and belongs to her alone!

Even though so many years have passed, Tan Yuan still remembers how to get to the black market in this city.

Now is different from twenty years later when the economy is developed. Now the country is short of food and clothing, and every family has many children. For example, the two children of the Zhao family are already very rare, and only children are even rarer.

You need a ticket to buy a grain of rice or a steamed bun, and the food coupons are distributed per person by the street, and the subsidies from the factory are also other things.

So the black market emerged in response to the times.

In the city where she lives alone, there are dozens of large and small gatherings, from organized to spontaneous citizen gatherings.

And the place where Tan Yuan went was the most inconspicuous black market in the city.

This black market is different from other spontaneously formed ones. It is organized by someone. After the reform and opening up, the boss behind this black market opened many nightclubs and pawnshops in this city and made a lot of money.

Later, when she was doing business, she had the opportunity to meet this boss and listen to him talk about his story of making a fortune. It was indeed a magnificent life.

He also mentioned where he lived back then, which was in an alley not far from the black market. In his words, it was the darkest place under the lamp, and no one would have thought that he lived so close.

Tan Yuan knocked on the gate according to the address she remembered.

"Who is it?"

The person who opened the door was a man in his mid-twenties, with a square face and the most popular buzz cut of the time. He looked at Tan Yuan with confusion in his eyes, and of course, there was a hint of vigilance deep in his eyes.

He looked just like someone who'd be confused if someone they didn't know knocked on the door.

If she hadn't seen the scar that was accidentally revealed on his exposed skin, and the face that looked younger than she remembered but still familiar, Tan Yuan might have been fooled by him.

"Boss Cao, right? Lin Wang introduced me here. He said he'll take anything as long as it's profitable."

Lin Wang is Cao Hongsheng's closest younger brother. The two have been together since childhood and have been working hard together, which led to the establishment of Cao Hongsheng's business empire.

Hearing Lin Wang's name, Cao Hongsheng made way and motioned for Tan Yuan to go in and talk, while he looked around vigilantly to make sure that no one was following him before following in.

"What are you selling?"

If she wanted to do some shady business in the black market, Lin Wang would not let her come to him unless it was something extraordinary.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look forward to it.

After all, Cao Hongsheng was still young at this time, and his emotions were not as unpredictable as those in later generations. Tan Yuan saw through his thoughts at a glance and took out her property certificate.

"I want to sell my house. I wonder if you, Boss Cao, have the guts to buy it?"

The ancestors of the Tan family were once wealthy. In this provincial capital city, her ancestors were once known as Tan Half City, meaning that half of the city was his family's property.

But later, when the war broke out, the Tan family donated all their property, leaving only the small courtyard made of blue bricks and tiles where they live now. Even though this small courtyard is nothing to the Cao family, it still looks very big to others, especially when housing is tight now.

Cao Hongsheng took a look at the address of the house, took a breath, and his eyes changed when he looked at Tan Yuan.

"Are you Tan Yuan?"

The Tan family is a well-known kind family in this city, but I heard that all the adults have died, leaving only an orphan girl living there with a few relatives. Could this be the orphan girl?

Tan Yuan nodded affirmatively at him: "Yes, I am Tan Yuan. I found my name on the list of people going to the countryside today, so I decided to sell this yard."

It was just such a simple sentence, but Cao Hongsheng had already heard something from it.

The Tan family has only one child. Just because of the half city donated, the country cannot fail to arrange a job for her. She suddenly found her name on the list of people going to the countryside, and the meaning of this is obvious.

“I don’t have that much money right now.”

He is the leader of a black market organization. He does not have any deep background and relies on his connections. He has some money but not much. Anyway, it is far from enough to sell such a yard.

"I only want three thousand dollars. If you give me three thousand, the house will be yours."

Tan Yuan was a little anxious. After she returned from the countryside in her previous life, this house had already been sold by the Zhao family. She didn't know what means they used. She didn't dare to take the risk again in this life. Even if she threw it away, she didn't want to let the Zhao family get a bargain.

Cao Hongsheng shook his head. He didn't want to lower the price. He really had no money. His income was not much. Apart from the nominal job, he also earned a little protection fee from the black market. He also had to treat people to meals and his expenses were high. Where would he get so much money?

Three thousand, even if he emptied all the brothers who followed him, he still couldn't come up with that much.

"How many do you have?"

What was waiting for Tan Yuan was Cao Hongsheng's outstretched finger. He only had a thousand...

"Here's how, you give me one thousand, and I'll mortgage this house to you. You can't sell it, but you can rent it out. Wait for me for five years, and then I'll come back and redeem the house with fifteen hundred dollars."

Cao Hongsheng stared blankly at the girl in front of him. He scratched his ears to make sure he had heard correctly.

What does this mean? They give him the house for free for five years, and he can rent it out, but after five years they still have to pay him back 500 yuan?

Is there such a good thing in this world? Is there a fool in the Tan family?

He looked at Tan Yuan carefully, feeling puzzled.

'This doesn't look like a fool!'

"Is it possible or not? Give me a definite answer!"

Time is so tight that she has to get the house settled before the news of going to the countryside is announced.

After the news of going to the countryside was announced in her previous life, the Zhao family sent Zhao Yang to follow her closely. She dared not take it lightly in this life.

"Okay! I'll take this house! But is there anyone else living in this house?"

When Tan Yuan heard Cao Hongsheng say that he would take over the house, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, there are people living there. If the information I've inquired about is correct, I'll be on the train to and from the countryside in three days. Then you can send someone to take possession of the house. As for whether the people inside will refuse to leave, I believe Boss Cao has plenty of ways to deal with it."

The house was mortgaged to Cao Hongsheng, so he was the owner of the house. For a man who could be a black market boss and later open a nightclub, driving away a few people would be a piece of cake, right?
