Chapter 721

~10 min read 1,983 words

"Hello? Who is it!"

"Yo, nephew, are you in a bad mood today? Why don't you hang up! I'll call you again tomorrow or the day after?"

Although Li Ye controlled his tone, Watching Liu Muhan on the other end of the phone was also a shrewd and sensitive woman, and she heard it immediately.

As soon as Li Ye heard that it was Watching Liu Muhan on the opposite side, he hurriedly said, "Don't, don't, don't, I'm in a good mood! If you have something to say, say it quickly, don't wait for tomorrow or the day after?"

Because Watching Liu Muhan had cooperated with him to clean up Guan Liang before, Li Ye owed her a favor, so how could he hang up her phone at this time?

Watching Liu Muhan pretended to be angry and said, "Nephew, don't you even have a polite word? You still let me say what I have to say quickly? Just so straight, so anxious?"

"."

Li Ye rubbed his ears and mouth, and said helplessly, "Sorry, I've been honest since I was a child and don't know how to say that kind of nonsense. If you don't believe me, ask my grandfather, or ask my dad."

"Hahahaha~"

Watching Liu Muhan laughed loudly, and then couldn't help but say, "You are really funny. Let me tell you something serious!

I took a fancy to a courtyard in Houhai, but I can't make up my mind. Help me take a look when you have time. If you really don't have time, let that Ma Qianshan take a look for me."

Li Ye was stunned and said strangely, "Didn't I choose three courtyards for you? What's the matter? You don't like any of them?"

Liu Zhengqing wanted to buy a house in the capital to retire, so Li Ye of course had to take it seriously and chose the three best houses in his hands for Watching Liu Muhan to choose one from three.

But now it seems that she is not happy.

"We can't afford the courtyard you have. Are you trying to empty out my dad's bottom?"

"What are you talking about?"

Li Ye was angry.

"What money or not? This is what I filial to Grandpa Liu. You just give me a cost price. If you don't believe me, I'll show you the contract. It's really just 20,000..."

"Alright, alright, have you ever seen an aunt who takes advantage of her nephew? Can you show me and give me a quick word."

"."

Li Ye sighed and had to say, "Yes, must be able to. You say the time, I will accompany you to see it."

Watching Liu Muhan smiled and said, "Then Sunday morning at nine o'clock, I will go to your house. I haven't seen my niece-in-law for a few days, and I miss her."

My god, your niece-in-law, Watching Wen Leyu doesn't recognize this seniority.

Li Ye hung up the phone, told Watching Wen Leyu about Watching Liu Muhan, and then said, "Look, it's not just me who doesn't want to make money, right?"

"Che~"

Watching Wen Leyu, who was lying sideways on the sofa holding a pillow, curled her lips and said, "You are just an honest person, where do you understand her twists and turns?

With your Aunt Liu's shrewdness, can the favor owed let you pay it back with money? She doesn't take advantage of your money, so this favor will always be owed..."

Li Ye subconsciously questioned, "Can't be!"

Watching Wen Leyu smiled slightly and said firmly, "If you don't believe me, just watch! This favor might make you miss it for a lifetime."

Li Ye: "."

Watching Wen Leyu rolled her eyes at Li Ye: "Don't miss it, help me to sleep."

"When did I miss it?" Li Ye muttered, "Now you are the biggest in the family, just bully me as much as you want, I'll remember it for you."

Li Ye was fierce in his mouth, but absolutely considerate in his actions. He carefully helped Watching Wen Leyu to the bed, first rubbed her swollen feet, then turned off the lights and went to sleep.

But a moment later, a strange noise suddenly sounded in the dark night.

"What are you doing?"

"What do you say?"

"I'll cut your nails first."

"You're still complaining, I'll strangle you..."

On Sunday morning, Watching Liu Muhan brought some fruits and snacks and visited on time.

Li Ye said amusingly, "No, you are still bringing things to the door?"

Watching Liu Muhan smiled and said, "Then I am here to ask for help today, so I can't come empty-handed! I bought it at the intersection, don't dislike it!"

"Okay, don't dislike it."

When mentioning the word dislike, Li Ye felt strange in his heart.

But I have to say, people who mix in the system have research on giving gifts. Watching Liu Muhan's fruit and snacks cost not much or little, and the grasp is just right.

After Watching Liu Muhan entered the door, she had a cordial conversation with Watching Wen Leyu. Looking at the way they whispered, those who didn't know would think they were best friends for many years.

But who would have thought that just a few years ago, Watching Wen Leyu was shouting at Watching Liu Muhan on the street: "Hey, you two stand still for me!"

After the two girls chatted for a while, Li Ye drove them out.

Watching Wen Leyu wanted to go back to her parents' home, so Li Ye sent her back to the Zhongliang courtyard first, and then went to see the house with Watching Liu Muhan.

But after arriving at Houhai, Watching Liu Muhan led Li Ye to the north.

"I also asked someone to inquire about these days, and found this courtyard north of Houhai. A three-entry courtyard only costs 35,000..."

Li Ye joked, "Oh, you don't want a 20,000 house, you want a 35,000 one?"

Watching Liu Muhan raised her willow eyebrows and said, "Don't bluff me. I've been looking at houses for a month. I know very well what kind of house and what price. Your 20,000 house is now at least 85,000."

"Alright, alright, then let's go see what the 35,000 house looks like today."

Li Ye knew that Watching Liu Muhan didn't take advantage of this kind of thing, so he didn't entangle with her anymore.

After arriving at the place, Li Ye understood why Watching Liu Muhan saw at a glance that his courtyard of 20,000 was not the right price.

This house is said to be north of Houhai, but it is almost at the Gulou Street. Li Ye's house is closer to the city center than this one!

And this three-entry courtyard has no gatehouse. The shadow wall is a mountain shadow wall. The courtyard behind the second gate feels like only twenty square meters. There is no covered walkway, and it is completely prominent in one word—exquisite.

If this house falls decades later, it must be a ceiling that ordinary people can hardly reach in a lifetime, but at this moment, in Li Ye's eyes, it is full of dislike.

Compared with the house he bought for 20,000 at the beginning, this house of 35,000 is really a world of difference.

But after the landlord came, he still boasted about his house, saying that his previous quotation was a loss, and he wanted to add another 2,000 yuan.

"Look, look, these two inverted rooms are facing the street! I heard that the old man is a cultural person, so in the future, opening a calligraphy and painting shop to sell calligraphy and painting, and having nothing to do when idle, can be considered a pastime..."

"Look at this second gate, an old object from the Qianlong period. If you take it down and take it to Longtan Lake, you can sell it for hundreds..."

"Pfft~"

Li Ye couldn't help laughing. He had dealt with several real estate agents in his past life and felt that they were not as good at blowing as this guy!

"Master, what is your surname?"

"Exempt from expensive surname Liao."

Li Ye pointed to the courtyard and said, "Master Liao, we can't just listen to your good words, we have to say two bad words.

Your courtyard has no covered walkway. You have to hold an umbrella when you go to the toilet or serve food when it rains. The doorway is a hutong, not a street. You won't be able to park a car in the future..."

Master Liao said amusingly, "You are afraid of trouble on rainy days, you can seal the courtyard with glass. You want to park a car at the door, are you going to park a car?"

Li Ye looked at Watching Liu Muhan. Watching Liu Muhan shook her head slightly and gestured with her mouth, "This is the cheapest."

Then there is no way. Watching Liu Muhan in this day and age rode a motorcycle and didn't consider the problem of driving a private car in the future at all.

People in 1987 absolutely couldn't imagine how enviable a "luxury configuration" a parking space at the door would be decades later.

Master Liao saw that Li Ye was no longer picking faults, so he started to bargain with Watching Liu Muhan. Watching Liu Muhan insisted on not increasing the price, and he urged Watching Liu Muhan to pay.

But Li Ye said, "Don't worry, a big deal of 35,000 can't be so hasty, you have to find a few more people to take a look."

Master Liao said unhappily, "You should have said earlier if you can't pay today! I have several buyers for this house! Aren't you wasting time?"

Li Ye said gently, "It's not a waste. My friend will come in a while. As long as he says it's suitable, I will give you money today."

"Grinding and chirping, not crisp at all."

Master Liao muttered with full of dislike, as if mocking Li Ye, this kind of outsider, for being petty.

But when Ma Qianshan and Duo Ye found their way over, his face changed instantly.

Duo Ye started scolding: "I said Liao Laoqi, you are cheating us? Do you believe I will let you eat a lawsuit in the bureau?"

"Where did I cheat? You surnamed Duo, don't wrong people..."

"I wrong you? Your uncle said when he was dying that this house was left to someone else's son. Why do you, a nephew, sell the house?"

"Grandma, my cousin has already entered the American nationality. What does this house have to do with him..."

"Stop talking nonsense, spit out how much money you received..."

"You stop coming, the deposit is not refundable..."

"I won't let you not refund, I won't let you not refund..."

"."

Seeing Duo Ye twisting arms with Liao Laoqi, Li Ye turned his head to look at Watching Liu Muhan, who was full of embarrassment.

"Do you understand now? Things that are too cheap must have their tricks. If you really don't want to be cheated, you must believe in an honest person like me."

Watching Liu Muhan said dejectedly, "Your houses are too expensive..."

"There are cheap ones," Ma Qianshan immediately smiled and said, "There is a broken courtyard in Ya'er Hutong. If you spend some money to repair it simply, you can live in it. When you have money in the future, you can renovate and rebuild it."

Watching Liu Muhan frowned, half-believing.

And Li Ye said again, "This house is a bit troublesome to rebuild, but I remember your sister-in-law is in the Xicheng housing construction department! That house is really suitable for you to buy..."

Watching Liu Muhan tilted her head and glanced at Li Ye, and suddenly said in a low voice, "Are you so anxious to pay back my favor?"
