Rebirth in the 90s: Pack up and prepare for demolition

Chapter 46 Would You Like a Haunted House?

Not only did I get to know Wei Qian'an.

More importantly, when Ye Ke and Wei Qian were having dinner in Xicheng District, they heard people at the next table saying that they wanted to sell their house.

It was an old courtyard that was more than 30 years old. They said they were selling the house, but in fact they were selling the land.

The old courtyard has been in disrepair for many years and is completely uninhabitable. If it is purchased, it will definitely be demolished and rebuilt.

The reason why the man was talking in the store was because he wanted to entrust the house to his long-time friend, the restaurant owner, for sale.

The old courtyard was left by the owner's grandfather. His grandfather passed away this year. The owner came back from abroad to attend the funeral. After taking care of his grandfather's affairs, he wanted to sell the old courtyard and settle down abroad completely.

This courtyard is located in the far suburbs of Xicheng District. Although the geographical location is remote, fortunately there is a Provincial Normal University next to it, so it can be considered a school district house.

Even though this yard is a school district house and covers a large area, it is still difficult to sell.

In the previous life, this house was very famous in the surrounding area and was well-known among the teachers and students of the Provincial Normal University, including Ye Ke.

This courtyard is considered a haunted house by many people. The owner's grandmother and mother both committed suicide in the courtyard. The police have long announced the cause of their suicide. They said that they were beaten and abused for a long time and could not bear it.

However, rather than the truth of the matter, people were more concerned with how to spread the news and attract more attention. That was when the rumor of the haunted house spread.

Later, the owner's father died suddenly in the yard due to excessive drinking, and the rumor that the house was a haunted house spread like wildfire.

In the previous life, the house hadn't changed owners, and the owner had gone abroad. But even when the house was to be demolished, the owner never returned. It was as if he had completely disappeared, and no one could contact him anymore.

It was also because of the homeowner's loss of contact that everyone completely labeled this yard as a haunted house.

And now, the house is right in front of Ye Ke.

As long as she buys it, the house can be demolished by March next year.

But Ye Ke hesitated.

Ye Ke was not superstitious before, but after her rebirth, she became superstitious.

Even if she wasn't superstitious, it would still be difficult for her to buy this yard.

The most realistic point is that she is not yet an adult.

Without the company of her guardian Ye Wenhui, she had no chance of buying a house on her own.

But how difficult is it to convince Ye Wenhui?

Ye Wenhui was even more superstitious than her! She hadn't even completely convinced herself yet, so why bother trying to convince Ye Wenhui?

Even if Ye Wenhui no longer believed in superstition, what excuse would she use to buy this yard?

Is it because it's in a remote place? Or because the house is old?

Ye Ke knew with his heels that Ye Wenhui would not agree. If she pushed him hard, she would confiscate all the money on him.

Ye Ke now even thinks, it would be better if he had never heard of this news?

"Mom, would you like a haunted house?"

Ye Wenhui's eyes widened instantly as she glared at Ye Ke! Is there anyone who can take care of this?! What on earth has Ye Ke been doing out there these past two days?!

Not only did I lose weight, but my brain also didn’t work as well!

Ye Wenhui gritted her teeth, “What do you think?”

"No." Ye Ke admitted her fear. She didn't know what had happened just now. Perhaps she had been thinking too much, and she had lost herself in thought. The moment she saw Ye Wenhui, she blurted out the answer.

Ye Ke ate obediently.

Ye Wenhui looked at her quietly and said, "Tell me the truth, where have you been fooling around these past two days?"

Ye Ke raised his hands in surrender, "I followed Brother Wei to make money."

"Brother Wei? What Brother Wei?"

"Wei Qi'an!"

Ye Wenhui was piqued by her, "How did you two get together? Last time we had dinner together, I asked you to go get to know her, but you refused to go, didn't you?"

"It's because I'm so capable!" Ye Ke puffed out his chest proudly. "Didn't he come over when you opened your business? He liked the shop I decorated for you and asked me to do the same in his hotel."

"It really is a serious matter?" Ye Wenhui was a little surprised, but suddenly began to wonder, "Hotel? What hotel?"

"It's the Jun'an Hotel, opened by Brother Wei. Didn't my uncle tell you about it?"

"Jun'an Hotel?" Ye Wenhui exclaimed loudly and stood up! "He opened it! Someone from Jun'an Hotel came to me this afternoon to order desserts, saying they wanted them for tomorrow!"

After saying this, he even stomped his feet in regret.

"If I had known he owned the store, I would have given him a discount! I bought furniture from the store before, and I owe him such a big favor that I still haven't repaid him!"

Ye Ke whistled cheekily and raised an eyebrow in response, "It's too late! You owe another one!"

Ye Wenhui looked at her expressionlessly, "Look at your carefree attitude, where did you learn this from?"

Ye Ke was embarrassed. Oh no, it was all Wei Qian'an's fault. He pretended to be a decent person at the beginning, but his true colors were revealed the next day, and he even infected himself.

"Tell me, what haunted house?"

Ye Wenhui knew very well that Ye Ke's subsequent chatter was obviously an attempt to divert her attention.

Seeing he couldn't get around it, Ye Ke rushed in, "Hey, Brother Wei and I were walking around Xicheng District and saw a pretty good courtyard."

Ye Ke paused to observe Ye Wenhui's expression. Seeing that she looked calm, he said regretfully, "It's a pity, though. The owner couldn't sell the house even after lowering the price by half, because everyone says it's a haunted house. The owner's parents and grandmother all died in the yard."

Seeing Ye Wenhui's expression suddenly change, Ye Ke changed the subject, "But! It's a pity, but there are plenty of houses. There's no need for us to buy a haunted house."

But there are really not many houses that someone wants to sell and are about to be demolished.

After hearing this, Ye Wenhui's expression eased a little, and she looked at him with a look of "you're smart" and didn't ask any more questions.

How could she not know what Ye Ke was up to? As long as he didn't pester her to buy it, she didn't bother to care so much.

"The store has changed some of the recipes based on customer feedback. If you have nothing to do tomorrow, go and try it."

In the past, when Ye Wenhui made desserts, the Ye family would just say “delicious, delicious” without any professional comments.

At one point, Ye Wenhui was praised so much that she almost thought she was a baking genius.

Fortunately, she came to her senses in time and realized that it had nothing to do with her. This group of people are not picky and say everything is delicious.

"Yummy! So delicious!"

"If it tastes good, eat more!" Tian Tian smiled with satisfaction as she watched Ye Ke's immersive eating show.

Obviously, these desserts were not made by myself, but seeing Ye Ke eating them so contentedly still gave me a sense of accomplishment.

After tasting them one by one, Ye Ke leaned back and slumped in the chair.

Looking around, she found that there were more people in the store than she had imagined. She felt that Ye Wenhui and Tian Tian were simply too busy to handle it.

"Sister Tiantian, please write a recruitment notice at the door of the store so we can hire someone else."

In fact, Ye Ke wanted to recruit two people at the beginning, but for the same reason, Ye Wenhui was reluctant.

She was worried that business was bad and there were more employees than customers.

Now that the store is constantly crowded with customers, I'm sure Ye Wenhui won't object.

"Recruit another one? No way!"
