Whether it is a suitable building or a courtyard house, it is not easy to buy.
Fan Jinyou could no longer rely on himself to find a house. In the afternoon, he went out and hired a lot of brokers to help him find a suitable house.
It's still a little early. If you can wait a few years, you will have a lot more choices when it comes to buying a house.
In the evening, Fan Jinyou and Chen Xueru came to the tavern again.
Xu Huizhen is no longer here, but Chen Xueru still likes to come to the tavern. There are many people like Chen Xueru. It seems that He Yongqiang's business cannot be continued.
"Hey, Lao He, business is pretty good today."
Maybe it was because He Yongqiang opened his business yesterday and gave away side dishes, which gave everyone face. He Yongqiang opened the business the next day and many people came to drink.
"It's not bad." He Yongqiang said with a smile on his face, which was much more sincere than his polite smile yesterday.
"This business is very good." Fan Jinyou said sincerely as he looked at the four or five tables of customers.
"Lao Fan, do you know who came to the tavern?"
"Whoever comes to the tavern, it can't be Xu Huizhen."
"Master Pian'er came to the tavern today, carrying a big armchair on his back. He looked like a poor man. He came to the tavern to look for Xu Huizhen. I asked him to go back to his own home to look for her."
He Yongqiang said with a smile. Seeing that he was in a good mood, Fan Jin might have discovered the reason for He Yongqiang's good mood.
Happiness comes from comparison. After Master Pian'er came back, He Yongqiang might have discovered someone who was even more miserable than himself.
The He family's property was abandoned by He Yongqiang, and the Pian'erye family's property was ruined by himself.
He Yongqiang found that he was not the worst among the neighbors in the original alleys, and his sense of happiness immediately increased.
After ordering four ounces of wine and a portion of pickles, Fan Jinyou and Xu Huizhen sat down.
"Lao Fan, do you know when Master Pian'er returned to the capital?"
"Maybe he just came back today and went to the tavern. If he had gone back home, he must have known that Xu Huizhen had moved to his own yard and the tavern had been returned to He Yongqiang."
Fan Jinyou didn't know what was going on. Pian'erye had been in prison back then, and after he was released from prison, he went to the Northeast again.
There has been no news for so many years, and no one knows the situation of Pian'erye's family.
It's conceivable that he was down and out. He didn't have the skills to make money. The money he earned from selling his yard, selling rice, and buying and selling was confiscated a long time ago. How could he not be down and out?
"Tell me, he came to Xu Huizhen with a chair. Could that chair be an old piece of furniture?"
"That should be the case. According to what Lao He said, Mr. Pian'er came back alone and brought only a chair. It couldn't be that he brought it back to make a fire because there was a lot of wood in the Northeast."
"Then let's drink quickly and go to Master Pian'er's house later to see if the chairs are still there."
"Is it necessary? Didn't you hear that Mr. Pian'er came to Xu Huizhen specially? The front and back yards where the two families live are separated by a wall. Mr. Pian'er wants to find Xu Huizhen. He can hear him shouting in his own house.
."
Fan Jinyou said, I don’t know why this son-in-law is so obsessed with him that he likes to do business with Xu Huizhen.
He didn't suffer enough losses and faced the consequences of being imprisoned. He didn't care and didn't think about what Xu Huizhen was like. There was no one among those around Xu Huizhen who had not been taken advantage of by Xu Huizhen.
"There's nothing going on right now, so why not go there? If Xu Huizhen hasn't come home yet, I won't drink this wine and leave now."
When she said this, Chen Xueru was already preparing to walk out, and Fan Jinyou had no choice but to follow.
"Hey, Lao Fan, you haven't drunk this wine yet, are you leaving?"
He Yongqiang shouted when he saw two people leaving just as they arrived.
"I just remembered something at the moment and will come back another day." Fan Jinyou replied.
The two of them left the tavern and walked for ten minutes before arriving at the door of Pian'er's house. This was the back door that originally led to the courtyard.
"Master Pian'er, are you at home?"
After Fan Jinyou shouted, he opened the door. The situation in the yard was better than Fan Jinyou had imagined. It seemed that Mr. Pian'er should have asked someone to take care of his yard before he left.
"Who?"
"It's me, Fan Jinyou."
"Cadre Fan, Manager Chen, why are you here?"
"I heard you're back, let's come over and see you..."
"Master Pian'er, I heard that you brought back an armchair. Is it still there?"
Fan Jinyou originally planned to say a few polite words, but was interrupted by the anxious Chen Xueru.
"What armchair? Who did you listen to? What I brought back was an official hat chair with two heads."
Although he was dressed in tatters, Pian'erye was always in a good mood and said with a proud face.
"Don't worry about what you brought back. Where are the things?"
"Give it to Xu Huizhen."
"How much?"
"Business rules, don't ask."
"Hey, you don't need to ask, I know that Xu Huizhen can't give you much money." Chen Xueru said disdainfully.
"Then you have underestimated Xu Huizhen."
"It's nothing to belittle. Even if it's clear, Xu Huizhen can't possibly give you five figures like Xueru."
Fan Jinyou deliberately said that even if Xu Huizhen was richer than before because of Chen Xueru's stimulation, she would not be able to offer Pian'er Ye a high price. It would be good if she could offer the same five thousand as before.
Without knowing when the price of antiques will rise and how high it will rise, no one spends a lot of money to collect antiques. The main way to collect antiques is to spend a small amount of money to pick up missing items.
For Xu Huizhen, collection cannot be traded at current prices unless it is under special circumstances.
Being able to spend several thousand yuan to buy an official hat chair from Mr. Pian may be due to his conscience, and he paid a price based on the fact that he took advantage of Mr. Pian's house.
"Five digits?" Mr. Pian'er excitedly stretched out his hand and made a slap gesture.
"You have given it to Xu Huizhen. If there is anything else to say, we will go back first."
After talking about it, the two people left Pian'er Ye's house. Fan Jinyou was actually kind to Pian'er Ye, but Xu Huizhen took advantage of Pian'er Ye's advantage, and Fan Jinyou didn't expect it.
The affection was long gone, and Fan Jinyou didn't mind if he said a few more words to make Master Pian'er feel uncomfortable.
"It's true, you were so anxious to give it to Xu Huizhen, and Xu Huizhen got another advantage."
After the two of them returned home in silence, Chen Xueru said.
"It's normal that I didn't intercept Hu. Master Pian'er obviously went for Xu Huizhen. It didn't happen this time, and there will be a next time. I finally quoted a high price on purpose. I hope Mr. Pian'er will be smarter next time.
If you know how to shop around, we will have a chance next time.”
"I don't particularly care about this thing. I just can't stand it. When the time comes, Xu Huizhen shows off in front of me and tells me that this chair was taken from Mr. Pian'er. Why didn't he let you go too?
