Chapter 224 Tidying Up the House
Chapter 224 Tidying Up the House
Gu Yushan was completely bewildered as he led Lu Yuanqing to see the house, then watched Lu Yuanqing negotiate the price with the landlord, and finally watched Lu Yuanqing take Lu Mingxi and Lu Yuanhuan to have the property transferred.
After everything was over, Gu Yushan looked at the chattering Lu family members in front of him, and then looked at Lu Yuanhuan beside him with a shocked expression.
"Your family is that rich?"
It must be from the countryside!
In comparison, he seems more like a country person.
Lu Yuanqing was planning to take them to see the house, but they were called here to transfer the ownership before they even saw where their own house was!
Lu Yuanhuan watched with a smile as the scene ahead became lively and bustling.
If she hadn't been worried about Gu Yushan being alone behind, she would have been in that group too.
Hearing Gu Yushan speak, Lu Yuanhuan replied without much concern, "It's alright! I've only made a little money in the last few years, and this house purchase has probably used up all the family's savings!"
Moreover, these two houses are for her and Lu Mingxi.
Gu Yushan was even more puzzled. "I remember seeing your brother before. You're from Shihua Village. Isn't your brother the village accountant?"
Did they embezzle money?
Lu Yuanhuan was unaware of this connection between them. "How do you know about my brother?"
She had mentioned Shihua Village before, so I had no doubts.
"Uh, didn't I mention it? When I graduated, my first job was assigned to your area. Back then, there was a guy named Niu Aibao in your village who tried to steal grain from the village, right? I was in charge of that matter!"
Gu Yushan met Lu Yuanqing around that time.
The next time I saw him was when Lu Yuanhuan called the police.
At the time, I just felt that Lu Yuanhuan was a bit unlucky. He was studying hard, but he encountered such a thing.
Later, when Lu Yuanqing and Lu Yuanbo came to the police station looking for someone, they learned that Lu Yuanhuan was Lu Yuanqing's sister.
"Ah!" Lu Yuanhuan was very surprised. "Third Brother didn't tell me! I thought you two met when I was in school!"
“My brother is very capable. After becoming the accountant of our village, he led everyone to open a pig farm, made some money, and then built a bamboo ware factory in the village. They weave a lot of exquisite bamboo products, all of which are sold to Hong Kong and overseas…”
Speaking of Lu Yuanqing's skills, even the least talkative of his children can talk for a long time!
Gu Yushan smiled and listened patiently as she talked about how amazing Lu Yuanqing was.
However, the question of how the Lu family, with their immense wealth, could acquire two houses in one go has now been answered.
“Your third brother is really good to you!” Gu Yushan agreed.
"Right!" Lu Yuanhuan's smile brightened even more at his agreement.
Gu Yushan's expression softened upon seeing this.
This was the first time he had ever seen Lu Yuanhuan with such a lively expression. Usually, she was gentle and weak, her words and actions were calm and even, and she was completely devoid of the liveliness that one would expect from someone her age.
"Yes, your brother is great!" Gu Yushan praised.
Lu Yuanhuan gave him a sweet smile.
People who approve of her brother are all good people!
Gu Yushan was envious. After thinking for a moment, he continued, "I genuinely think Brother Yuanqing is really amazing. Look at him, leading the people in your village to a better life. He's kind. And he's good to you too. He bought the house without hesitation. Even my parents don't have that kind of courage!"
Of course not. After all, although the Gu family were all working-class families, it was really difficult for someone like Lu Yuanqing to come up with so much money all at once.
Moreover, what Gu Yushan didn't mention was that Lu Yuanqing not only readily took out the money, but also bought a house for the girl in his family. Even though there were boys in the family, all of whom lived in the countryside, he was still willing to buy a house for the girl.
Such actions and behaviors are inherently admirable.
Therefore, it is true that Gu Yushan praised Lu Yuanqing to please Lu Yuanhuan, and it is also true that he genuinely thought Lu Yuanqing was good!
Chatting and laughing, they soon arrived at the house.
It's already considered to belong to Lu Yuanhuan and Lu Mingxi.
As Lu Yuanqing took out the key the landlord had left him to open the door, he said, "This lock still needs to be changed, don't forget!"
Who knows if someone else's lock has a key outside?
"Leave this to me!" Gu Yushan said with a smile, taking over the task.
"Okay! Thank you for your help!" Lu Yuanqing didn't stand on ceremony with him.
Being polite won't help. Even if they're from the bride's family, they can still be biased and want to make things difficult for Gu Yushan.
But it's unnecessary!
The matter is already settled, so why bother?
Both houses come with a small yard, which is really small.
However, although it's small, it offers good privacy.
In his previous life, Lu Yuanqing was a northerner and used to houses with courtyards. Later, in Shihua Village, once the gate was opened, there was a dam in front of the gate, and he could see the paddy fields at a glance.
After living here for so long, he still prefers houses with yards.
The houses are not big, and each house has a similar layout: three bedrooms, a main room, and the kitchen is outside.
Looking at everyone who had been scouring every corner, Lu Yuanqing circled around and nodded in satisfaction.
clap clap clap! ! !
Lu Yuanqing stood in the middle of the courtyard and clapped his hands.
"Come here, stop looking, everyone come here, I need to tell you something!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanbo and the others immediately abandoned their 'treasure hunt' in the room and came out.
Seeing that they had all arrived, Lu Yuanqing smiled and said, "We still have time this afternoon. There's one thing: let's clean this house thoroughly and move in tomorrow!"
"So rushed? I haven't finished buying my things yet!" Lu Yuanbo frowned first.
The list Lu Yuanqing gave him was so complicated and numerous that he had been running around all morning and had only managed to buy half of it.
He was still planning to complete the mission with Lu Mingxi and the others that afternoon!
Lu Yuanqing waved his hand: "There's still time. The most important thing now is for us to move in!"
According to the customs of their hometown, the elders of both the man and woman will meet.
The day after tomorrow, I'm going to Gu Yushan's house. On the one hand, I'll have a meal there to get acquainted with the family and people. On the other hand, this marriage was a bit hasty, and neither side knows anything about the other. Meeting and chatting will help me understand the situation better.
If someone treats you to a meal, you should always reciprocate!
Lu Yuanqing hadn't expected things to go so smoothly. He was thinking that if he couldn't buy a house right away, he would book a table outside and treat the Gu family to a meal.
It's not about reciprocity!
But now they've bought the house, and because it's always been occupied and well-maintained, it doesn't need much renovation. In fact, because he was generous, the landlord left them the furniture he couldn't take with him.
What else is there to say?
Now that we have our own house, it's naturally better to host a dinner party at home!
