Black Market Boss: His Beloved Wife's Lazy Life

After a long while, just when Shang Yanfang thought she had failed to negotiate the price down, the old man slowly spoke.

"Alright, I'll sell it to you for 19,000!"

Shang Yanfang looked at the old man in disbelief. They really had given them a discount of a thousand yuan!

"What, you don't want to buy it anymore?" the old man asked when he saw that they hadn't reacted even after he had agreed to their bargaining.

“Yes, yes, Grandpa, you are my own grandpa,” Shang Yanfang said, holding the old man’s hand.

"Alright, please help me move my things to the yard next door! We'll go to the housing management office to transfer the ownership tomorrow." The old man, leaning on his cane, returned to his house.

He took out a key and walked out.

Shang Yanfang excitedly followed, holding her child. "No way! This old man's house is next door too!"

Gao Jianguo, Shang Fu, and Shang Guokang took the things the old man had asked them to get and went to the next room.

"Come in! From now on, we're neighbors. Let's look after each other." The old man opened the door and invited the group in.

"Grandpa, how many courtyard houses do you own?" Shang Yanfang looked at the old man in front of her with admiration.

As the saying goes, in Beijing, a single brick can kill several prominent figures.

“No, this set belonged to my son. They’re no longer in the country,” the old man said, glancing at Shang Yanfang.

"They will definitely come back." Shang Yanfang spoke with great confidence, knowing what the future held.

The old man glanced at Shang Yanfang with surprise, but his resolve hardened. He would wait here for his son and grandson.

"Grandpa, where did you put your things?" Gao Jianguo also called out to Grandpa, just like Shang Yanfang.

"Put it in the east wing!"

The group sat in the courtyard for a while longer. The old man hugged each of the three children before they went home.

"Sis, how dare you cut so much money in one go?" Shang Guokang looked at his sister with admiration.

"It's just a test. We'll save money if we can. If we can't, then forget it," Shang Yanfang said casually.

"Yes, Xiaokang, you should learn from your sister from now on. Save money wherever you can, okay?" Shang's mother took the opportunity to scold her youngest son.

"Jianguo, do you have that much money? If not, Dad has more here..." Shang's father was concerned about something different from Shang's mother.

"It's alright, I'll pay for this house. How can we let you pay for our family's wedding?" Old Master Gao said magnanimously.

The Gao family can still come up with 20,000 yuan.

"Grandpa, no, we have our own money." Gao Jianguo refused his grandfather's offer.

Old Master Gao tried to persuade Gao Jianguo repeatedly, but Gao Jianguo refused to accept his money, so he gave up.

"Let's go to my house at noon and get to know each other," Old Gao suggested.

They all agreed.

The group then moved to the military compound.

It was the first time Shang Yanfang and her family had been to such a place, and they were quite reserved.

"Sit down, everyone. Make yourselves at home." Grandpa Gao felt even more relaxed once he got home.

He was very happy to have spent the day with the children.

"Girl, I've reserved a room for you on the second floor. Bring the children back to visit me when you have time." Old Master Gao led the Shang family on a tour of the small building.

This was also Gao Jianguo's first visit, and he saw her room from before.

At noon, Grandpa Gao ordered someone to get food from the state-run restaurant and also went to the supply and marketing cooperative to pick up Shang Guoqiang and Shang Yanyan.

The whole family sat together for a reunion dinner.

That evening, Shang Yanfang left amidst the lonely figure of the old man.

"Grandpa, I'll bring the children over to keep you company in a couple of days." Shang Yanfang wanted to stay today too, but it was really inconvenient not to bring anything.

The next day, Gao Jianguo took his savings book to the bank and withdrew 20,000 yuan.

He transferred the house to his wife's name.

Today, Shang Yanfang left her child with Shang Yanyan and her mother, who were off work, and went out to have fun with a man.

"Honey, we bought the house! I'm so happy!" Shang Yanfang said happily as she stood in the courtyard house, holding the key to the gate.

Gao Jianguo didn't say anything, he just stood there looking at Shang Yanfang with doting eyes.

The two searched the house thoroughly and found no signs of vandalism, but there really wasn't even a single chair left.

"Honey, let's go shopping! It's been so long since we've gone shopping." Shang Yanfang felt that she finally didn't have to take care of the children, so she wanted to relax today.

“Okay, let’s go buy some New Year’s gifts for our family,” Gao Jianguo said, thinking of his parents-in-law.

"Okay." Shang Yanfang took the man's arm and entered the department store.

They still had three thousand yuan in cash on them, and they didn't hesitate to buy clothes. Shang Yanfang bought all three colors of the Mao Ni coat without hesitation.

The red one is for my mother, the black one is for my sister, and I'll keep the white one for myself.

She also bought a shirt and a pair of leather shoes for each of the men in the family.

Buy some underwear for your man, or something like that.

I bought a small toy for each of my three kids.

After watching a movie and having dinner, the two of them didn't go home until it got dark.

Shang Yanyan sat there, breastfeeding the baby as if her life force had been drained by a demon.

"Sister, I'm back." Shang Yanyan looked at her sister, who was carrying lots of bags, with burning eyes when she heard her sister's words.

"Quickly, quick, here's your child back!" Shang Yanyan held little Gao Zixuan in her arms, staring excitedly at Shang Yanfang.

"Sister, wait a moment, I need to put something down." Shang Yanfang gestured to the object in her hand.

Shang Yanyan stared at Shang Yanfang's hand, and as soon as her hand was free, she put the child into her arms.

Shang Yanfang held the little one and said, "Sister, I bought you a dress. Try it on."

After hearing her younger sister's words, Shang Yanyan started flipping through her clothes.

"We bought coats, Mom and I both have them," Shang Yanfang said, pointing to the three large bags.

"Okay, I'll try it." Shang Yanyan casually took out a coat and put it on. The mother and daughter were about the same height and build.

The clothes were all the same size; if Shang Yanfang could fit into them, the other two would fit in about the same size.

When Gao Jianguo returned, he put his clothes in the room and went to wash diapers for his three children.

Shang's mother came out of the kitchen and joined the crowd trying on clothes.

"Mother, you look so good in that red coat," said Shang's mother, giving instructions.

"No, no, I can't wear red out. I'll wear black." Mrs. Shang quickly waved her hand. She was too old to wear red; she would be laughed at to death.

"Mom, just try it on. No one will say anything to you at home," Shang Yanfang continued to persuade her.

“Mom, my little sister is right. Just give it a try. It’s not a big deal,” Shang Yanyan also tried to persuade her.

With the combined persuasion of her two daughters, Shang's mother finally put on the red woolen coat.
