Chapter 1055: Chapter 1056: Village Orphan 100

After Liu Dashan sold all three rooms, the remaining neighbors at the courtyard were truly stunned.

They secretly discussed among themselves that even though Zhang Yu wanted to buy up all the houses in the courtyard, getting each and every one of them was an impossible task.

Especially the Liu Family, they wouldn’t let Zhang Yu acquire the houses in the courtyard.

Yet, they didn’t expect Liu Dashan to sell the houses so quickly, and to Zhang Yu.

If Zhang Yu wasn’t known for being honest, they would have believed that he and Liu Dashan were deceiving them.

Everyone couldn’t understand why Liu Dashan would sell the houses so swiftly.

“I want to live in an apartment building. I’ve lived so long and never stayed in one.”

“I want to not have to walk far to go to the toilet in winter.”

“I don’t want old friends asking where I live and have to tell them I’m still in an old house.”

“By the way, I’ve already bought my house. Do you want to come and see it?” Liu Dashan invited them to see the newly bought house.

Nobody expected Liu Dashan to complete such big matters, not only selling the old house but also buying a new one.

Everyone eagerly asked where the new house was bought because no matter how good the current houses were, could they compare to an apartment?

Absolutely not, they actually privately thought Zhang Yu was a fool for liking such old houses.

Liu Dashan was quite proud, excitedly explaining the situation of the newly bought apartment, “Everything is bright.”

“The living room is bright, the kitchen, bathroom are bright, even the rooms.”

“It’s truly great. Considering my age, I didn’t buy an upstairs apartment but a ground floor unit with a yard.”

“It’s really good. There’s a vegetable market, a hospital, and a bus stop outside the community.”

“It’s really nice.” Liu Dashan was very satisfied with the house he bought.

“If you think it’s good, you can buy it too. Later, let my eldest take you, maybe negotiate the price.”

Liu Dashan talked for a long time about how great the house was, wanting everyone to be satisfied so that someone would buy, allowing Liu Qiang to earn commission.

“If it’s good, of course.” Everyone was looking forward to it.

However, before that, they still wanted to confirm something, all eyes on Zhang Yu, “Zhang Yu, will you still be purchasing houses?”

They were worried that if Zhang Yu stopped buying houses, then what would happen if they fancied the house?

Zhang Yu never expected Liu Dashan to buy an apartment, nor did she expect him to be so supportive.

If things went smoothly, she should soon buy up the courtyard houses, “If the prices are right, I will definitely buy.”

With Zhang Yu’s assurance, everyone excitedly went to look at the houses.

Liu Dashan and others had good taste; the location was great, everyone felt it was better than where they were currently staying.

After asking about the price and making a mental comparison, they all felt it was better to sell the old house and buy an apartment.

Thus, almost all of the houses exceeding the initial ones in the courtyard fell into Zhang Yu’s hands.

Zhang Yu looked at each newly issued property certificate, feeling so happy.

In the new house, Liu Qiang was drinking happily, “Dad, your method is best.”

“Zhang Yu really bought most of the courtyard houses.”

“But she does have a lot of money.” Liu Qiang was still envious that Zhang Yu had so much cash.

Liu Dashan happily drank his wine, “So what if she bought most of them.”

“As long as there’s one house that’s not acquired, it’s impossible for her to buy them all.”

Liu Dashan speculated on why Zhang Yu would want the courtyard houses.

“Does she really think she can buy the whole courtyard at a low price using this method?”

Liu Dashan happily hummed, “She should know that not everything can be solved with money.”

“Now everyone knows she’s smart, calculative, and wealthy, but some things can’t always be accomplished as she wishes.”

Liu Dashan awaited Zhang Yu’s money to go to waste, feeling thrilled even just imagining it.

After moving out, Liu Dashan occasionally checked on the old house’s situation.

As long as there were no signs of renovation, he felt relieved knowing Zhang Yu hadn’t consolidated all the property rights.

Li Cui noticed Liu Dashan’s regular visits and could guess his reasons.

“Let him be pleased for a while.”

Zhang Yu expressed that for Liu Dashan, who was of a certain age and without great-grandchildren, one should still show some decency, “A life without the fourth generation is quite tough.”

“Knowing he’s living a rather miserable existence, we shouldn’t provoke him.”

Zhang Yu said so but actually had news for Li Cui, “Found a construction team to renovate the courtyard.”

Is getting all the property rights the hardest part?

Zhang Yu could only say that this was the easiest task if you had money, it could be completed with ease.

The easiest part was finding skilled repair teams, not just about money but much else.

When Zhang Yu began purchasing the courtyard houses, she was already scouting for skilled craftsmen.

Perseverance paid off, she finally found good craftsmen.

“Is it time to start renovating?” Li Cui was happy, remembering Zhang Yu’s previous mentions of how things would be once renovations were done.

Zhang Yu nodded, “Yes, it’s time for the houses.”

Liu Dashan returned to the courtyard, discovering an engineering team had arrived, “What’s this?”

An old neighbor passed by, seeing Liu Dashan, “You’ve come back.”

Liu Dashan quickly grabbed him, “Is this for renovation?”

The old neighbor nodded, his expression becoming very strange, “Yes, back when Zhang Yu was buying the old houses, we all thought she couldn’t possibly buy them all.”

“But she’s already acquired them, actually you were the last to leave.” The old neighbor knew this would hit Liu Dashan hard.

They were the last ones out, Liu Dashan couldn’t believe it, taking a few steps back, he wanted to say it was impossible, clearly many people hadn’t sold yet.

But the old neighbor had no reason to deceive him, and if she hadn’t bought them all, why would a renovation team be there?

“How can it be?” Liu Dashan could imagine Zhang Yu laughing at him now.

“I, I…” Liu Dashan was so angered he collapsed.

This frightened the old neighbor, who quickly went to find Liu Qiang and the others.
