Chapter 301: Ye Lulu Said It On the Spot, “Buy It Then!”

Furthermore, the conditions of this small building by the river were so poor. No one would care about the price of a hundred taels of silver.

This was also one of the most important reasons why this shop had been empty for so long and could not be sold at all.

However, the broker was bitter as well. He really did not lie to Ye Lulu this time. The price that the official had left behind six or seven years ago was five hundred taels of silver. And because no one had been interested in the building for the past few years, their broker house had even sent a letter to that official.

That was why that official had replied to reduce the price. This building was really a four-storey building. With the price that official had given them, they had no choice.

Therefore, it was no wonder that this shop was so troublesome for the broker house.

Ye Lulu said, “I’ll buy it.”

The broker had wanted to use all his strength to persuade Ye Lulu, but he was stunned. “Huh?”

Ye Lulu said, “Find an artisan to take a look. If there’s no danger in this shop and people can walk around normally, I’ll buy it.”

“Oh! Alright, that’s great!” The broker was overjoyed and repeatedly replied, “Our broker house can hire people to show you! We’ll pay the artisan’s fee. You can choose the artisan yourself.”

As long as anyone was willing to buy this shop!

Oh my!

Ye Lulu said, “That’s good.”

With that, she looked at the small building again and turned around to leave.

She actually looked eighty percent sure.

Although Eldest Brother Guan had followed her here, he was in charge of making an appearance. It was Ye Lulu who made the decision. He actually listened to Ye Lulu. Therefore, although this shop appeared strange, Eldest Brother Guan still silently followed behind Ye Lulu when she said she would buy it.

Guan Chibei did not say anything and the few of them returned.

As expected, the broker house invited an artisan over. It was unknown if he was too anxious to complete this transaction and was afraid that Ye Lulu would go back on her words, but he invited an artisan to look at the shop that same afternoon.

In the afternoon, Ye Lulu and the rest had lunch in the city. They had wontons with dried shrimp and red laver. This was the first time Ye Lulu had eaten dried shrimps and red laver since she came to Yuan City, so she enjoyed it very much.

She even added a Tea Leaf Egg and was extremely satisfied.

After hiring the artisan, they went to the Yuan River to take a look. This time, they went in to take a look. When Ye Lulu walked into the small building, she felt that the ground was quite firm. The wood did not feel unstable either.

Looking at the house again, the layout of the beams and pillars were only covered in dust, but there were no termites. It was quite clean.

The artisan took the tools and walked in to measure the area. Then he said to Ye Lulu, “It can house people. It’s very strong. The few pillars that are in the water were painted with tung oil. It’s like the wood used for ships sailing on the river. It’s waterproof and won’t corrode.”

There was also all the wood in the house. It was all intact and there were no safety hazards at all.

In particular, the artisan told Ye Lulu that most of the wood in this building was ironwood. It was the hardest type of wood. Military workers and shipbuilders used this type of wood.

Ironwood was not local wood from Yuan City, which meant that it was transported from another city by that official. It could be seen that it took a lot of effort to build it.

The artisan also said that under this small building, near the water, there were also measures used to handle the buildings that were usually built on the river. Logically speaking, if it was maintained at regular intervals, there shouldn’t be any problem for decades.

Ye Lulu was very satisfied and agreed on the spot. “We’ll buy it!”

As long as it was still usable and there were no safety issues, this shop could be bought.

Guan Chibei entered the house personally and looked around. His eyes were deep as he said, “You can buy this.”

He was the God of the Netherworld in the sky. He could also sense Feng Shui. This place was very clean and the flow of aura was very smooth. Not to mention how good it was, but at the very least, it was not gloomy at all. It was very bright.

Furthermore, he did not sense any ominous aura here. From the looks of it, it should be safe. There would be no accidents in the short term. There was no such warning.

Hence, after everything was approved, Ye Lulu happily signed the contract with the broker immediately.

The broker was overjoyed. He was so excited that his legs almost gave out. He led Ye Lulu and the rest back to the broker house and agreed on the time to sign the contract.

The reason why she did not sign it now was that Ye Lulu had not brought the money, so she could only come back tomorrow to sign the contract on the spot. Once she signed it, that shop would be hers.

No one bought the dilapidated building that stood pitifully by the river. Ye Lulu didn’t have to worry about being intercepted and left the broker house.

Eldest Brother Guan would not go up the mountain with them. Instead, he would go back and help Mother Rong. However, Ye Lulu was not lazy. She could not do business anymore. She had to return to the mountain to take care of the babies.

However, before she returned, Ye Lulu went shopping with Guan Chibei. It was mainly because she loved to shop on this ancient street too much. Moreover, she had things to buy. Ye Lulu bought a stone mill and returned.

Very few families in Yunwu Village had a stone mill. The reason was that there was no food planted on the mountain, and there wasn’t much farming in the entire Yuan City. The villagers used money to buy grains. Without rice and wheat to grind flour, there was no need to use a stone mill.

Only a few families who knew how to make tofu or had things to grind had a stone mill at home. Previously, the Guan family was so poor that they did not have rice to cook in the pot or a stone mill. However, Ye Lulu was preparing to grind some rice powder for the babies to make solid food.

She had ground something for the babies once by borrowing the stone mill from someone else’s house. Looking at the Guan family’s situation in the village, Ye Lulu felt that it was better to buy one herself.

They did not buy a big one. They bought a smaller one, the kind that could grind small things at home. However, even a smaller one weighed dozens of catties. Ye Lulu looked at Guan Chibei and asked, “Can you carry it?”

Guan Chibei only nodded.

Ye Lulu bought it. Guan Chibei carried the stone mill and looked relaxed. The two of them returned to Yunwu Village and went up the mountain path.

After looking around, the sky was already dark. Usually, when going up the mountain path, unless there were six or seven people like Mother Rong, the villagers would rush up the mountain before dark. They were afraid that the mountain path would be difficult to walk.

When Ye Lulu and Guan Chibei were halfway up the mountain path, a few strong men in dark clothes suddenly rushed out from the deep forest beside them.

They were the rest of Brother Ba’s brothers.

They knew that Brother Ba and the rest had fallen into a ditch because of this stall owner and were brought back to the government. It was very likely that everything they had done in the past would be exposed. After that, they would have to go to jail. This matter was serious.

Wang Ba’s brothers could be said to hate Ye Lulu and her husband. They were furious. They asked around and found out that they were from the mountains. They lay in ambush on the mountain path just to wait for Ye Lulu and her husband to come back and capture them for revenge!
