Chapter fifty-six: buy a house

"Don't waste it." Gu Xiaoyou smiled sweetly: "Buy this room for you and Liang'er to live in."

Zhou opened her eyes wide and said in surprise: "No, this is too expensive. How can I spend your money? I can't have it."

"Sister Zhou, we have known each other for so long, why do we still distinguish between you and me?"

Gu Xiaoyou deliberately made a serious face and said displeasedly: "Do you always treat me as an outsider?"

"No, no, I have always regarded you as my sister." Zhou explained in a panic.

"That's it. We are all a family. What's wrong if I buy you a house?"

Gu Xiaoyou raised her chin and said arrogantly: "And I'm not short of money."

Zhou was amused by Gu Xiaoyou's expression, and stubbornly refused: "That's not okay, I have gained a lot by following you..."

"Why not? You have all my money. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Liang'er. You guys should get married when you are fifteen or sixteen. Liang'er won't have a decent house by then.

Whose girl is willing to marry him?"

Gu Xiaoyou said sincerely that although she did not agree with the ancient system of early marriage, this method was the most effective way to convince Zhou.

Sure enough, Mrs. Zhou's expression relaxed a little, and she said hesitantly: "How about you help me pay for the house purchase first, and I will pay you back later."

"No need to pay it back." Gu Xiaoyou said cheerfully.

Seeing what Mrs. Zhou wanted to say, she quickly interrupted her and said first, "I bought this room for you, but I have selfish motives."

"Selfish?" Zhou looked at Gu Xiaoyou in confusion.

"Yes, our two families are so close, I can come here every day to have food, and I save money on food. How much is this house worth? If I eat your food every day, I might be able to pay back the money for the house in a year.

Yes." Gu Xiaoyou said exaggeratedly.

"You..." Mrs. Zhou said dumbfounded: "How much can you eat if you eat every day? This house costs five hundred taels of silver."

"It's only five hundred taels, which is only one hundred thousand yuan. I can afford it, buy it, buy it!"

Gu Xiaoyou patted his money bag boldly, never expecting that buying a house was so cheap in ancient times.

Zhou was breaking out in a cold sweat. She still wanted to refuse, but Gu Xiaoyou directly grabbed Zhou's arm and urged: "Let's go to Yaxing soon."

Zhou couldn't resist Gu Xiaoyou's strength, so she had to take Gu Xiaoyou to Yahang.

As soon as he entered the dental shop, Gu Xiaoyou couldn't wait to say: "Man, I want to buy a house!"

The clerk from Yahang ran out to greet him and said enthusiastically: "Welcome, where do you two guests want to buy a house?"

"It's the two houses in Ruining Hutong, one has a black door and the other has a brown door..."

Gu Xiaoyou finished speaking quickly, and the waiter immediately knew which two families they were from, and at the same time he recognized the Zhou family.

He said smartly: "I will find the property deed for you two right away."

The clerk quickly found the deeds of the two houses in Ruining Hutong. Gu Xiaoyou didn't know the specific addresses.

"Sister Zhou, please check if the address is correct."

Mrs. Zhou came forward with some hesitation and said in a low voice: "Xiaoyou, do you really want to buy two rooms?"

"Of course, I carry the banknote with me every day just to buy a house."

Gu Xiaoyou patted the money bag and urged: "Oh, Sister Zhou, don't hesitate, help me take a look, otherwise I will pay directly, and I won't care if you buy the wrong thing."

Zhou couldn't refuse her, so she had to step forward. She carefully read the addresses on the two house deeds and nodded to Gu Xiaoyou.

Gu Xiaoyou smiled, took out a banknote from her purse, and slapped it on the counter: "Two, bought!"

The waiter didn't expect that today's customer would pay just one thousand taels. It was so generous and joyful that his eyes were filled with laughter.

After he checked the banknote and confirmed that it was correct, he handed the two house deeds to Gu Xiaoyou and said with a smile: "I'll give you the house deed. You can just go to the Yamen to get it stamped."

Gu Xiaoyou took the house deed and put it away with a smile: "Sister Zhou, let's go home."

The matter was a foregone conclusion, and Zhou had no choice but to follow Gu Xiaoyou.

When we left Yaxing, it was still early.

Zhou asked in a daze, "You're ready to buy it right now?"

"Yes, two houses." Gu Xiaoyou said casually. She glanced at her phone: "Sister Zhou, Liang'er is out of school at this time. Let's pick him up and tell him the good news."

"Okay..." Zhou responded subconsciously and followed Gu Xiaoyou.

Gu Xiaoyou took a few steps and felt something was wrong. Maybe Zhou was too quiet.

She turned around and saw that Mr. Zhou's eyes were straight and the expression on his face was a little dazed.

Gu Xiaoyou stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Zhou's eyes: "Sister Zhou, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou seemed to wake up from a dream and trembled: "I feel like I'm dreaming."

"Dreaming..." Gu Xiaoyou stepped forward, pinched the flesh on Zhou's arm, and twisted it slightly.

"Ouch." Ms. Zhou screamed in pain and rubbed her arms.

Gu Xiaoyou said hurriedly: "It's okay if it hurts. You know it's not a dream this time. How about I pinch you again?"

While protecting her arm, Mrs. Zhou said, "It's not a dream, it's not a dream. There's no need to pinch it."

"Let me rub it for you." Gu Xiaoyou came over and rubbed Zhou's arm.

Seeing Ms. Zhou's expression, she was still a little stunned. She thought about it and comforted her softly: "Sister Zhou, don't feel pressured. I will buy you a house. First, because I regard you and Liang'er as relatives. Second, I am here."

I have no relatives or friends here, but you rescued me back home, so you should consider me a repayment of your kindness and repay you for saving my life that day."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou was so moved that she burst into tears instantly.

She opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, but in the end she could only form two words: "Thank you."

Gu Xiaoyou wiped Zhou's tears with her sleeve and said softly: "Thank you for nothing. Let's go. If you don't leave, you won't be able to pick up Liang'er."

"Okay, I'll leave now." Mrs. Zhou wiped her face randomly and followed Gu Xiaoyou quickly towards the school.

They arrived at just the right time, as school was about to end.

A group of children came out of the school, and Gu Xiaoyou pulled Zhou to look among the children.

Liang'er's figure is easy to find. Among the group of children, he is the only one carrying a linen schoolbag. Although some children are also carrying similar bags, only Liang'er's schoolbag is strong and good-looking.

Gu Xiaoyou waved towards Liang'er and called: "Liang'er!"

Liang'er followed the sound, waved to Gu Xiaoyou and Zhou in response, and said something to the classmates beside him.

He ran over with a happy look on his face, and as soon as he was in front of the two of them, he said happily: "Mom, Aunt Gu, you all come to pick me up."
