Chapter 223 Buying a House
It's going to rain, and my little sister is getting married.
Lu Yuanqing couldn't stop him.
The reason behind this marriage has truly left many people sighing.
Of course, the most important thing now is not to sigh, but to meet with Gu Yushan's family.
They're getting married, but their parents haven't even met yet, which is against the rules.
Under Gu Yushan's arrangement, the meeting place was his home, and the time was two days later, when the two families would have a meal together and meet.
Time was of the essence, so Lu Yuanqing handed the note he had written at home to Lu Yuanbo, asking him to take Lu Mingdong and Lu Mingxi, who had already returned home, to buy wedding supplies.
He was not involved in preparing the dowry.
He had asked his aunt Zhang Panlan about all the dowry items before coming to the city.
Zhang Panlan knew he wasn't short of money and wanted to prepare a satisfactory dowry for Lu Yuanhuan. When it came to the things that needed to be bought for the dowry, she naturally wouldn't make up any excuses.
Although they kept everything simple when they got married, it was because their family was too poor and they had to save money wherever they could. She was very clear about what she needed to buy to prepare a dowry that would satisfy everyone.
Unable to stop in time, Zhang Panlan finished speaking only after Lu Yuanqing had almost filled a whole sheet of paper.
Zhang Panlan, only realizing this later, deeply understood what it meant for Lu Yuanqing to dote on his younger siblings.
If everything is prepared according to what she said, Lu Yuanhuan's dowry will be the envy of everyone who sees it.
Moreover, Lu Yuanqing is not the kind of person who goes back on his word.
Since he said he would prepare a good dowry for Lu Yuanhuan, he must do it.
Having handed the shopping over to Lu Yuanbo, Lu Yuanqing began to busy himself with other matters.
The next morning, he went to the police station to find his future brother-in-law.
Damn it, an old cow eating young grass, Yuan Huan from mainland China is several years older than him!
Fortunately, he was a year younger than her; otherwise, Lu Yuanqing would have felt a heart attack if he had to call a man older than himself "brother-in-law."
"Brother, what do you need me for?" Gu Yushan adapted very well, and people didn't hesitate at all.
Lu Yuanqing really wanted to show off his brother-in-law's status, but when he thought about what he needed to do, he immediately stopped himself.
Let's get down to business.
"Uh, that Ancient Jade Mountain..."
“Brother, you can just call me Xiaoshan!” Gu Yushan said with a smile.
Lu Yuanqing felt awkward again. Otherwise, he wouldn't still be single, while the other guy was already getting married! With this kind of shamelessness, their Lu family could probably only send Lu Mingxi to fight for now.
"Hey, Xiaoshan, are you busy today? Do you have some free time? I need to ask you for a favor!"
Gu Yushan immediately smiled and said, "Yes, I happen to have some free time!"
Even if he's busy, he'll have time for his brother-in-law's affairs.
After having dinner together last night, he realized that there wasn't a single man or woman in the entire Lu family who didn't look down on him.
Gu Yushan touched his nose sheepishly. There was nothing he could do; after all, he was six years older than Lu Yuanhuan. It was normal for an older man to be rejected when dating a younger woman.
Besides, even if others don't know, don't they know themselves? It's really hard to say what the reason for this marriage came about.
In this situation, if his brother-in-law wanted his help, he would naturally help him to the best of his ability.
Moreover, this brother-in-law was no ordinary man; he was the one who supported his future wife and her family during a famine.
No matter how close in age they are, he has to treat them with respect.
“I want to buy a house, but as you know, it’s very difficult to buy one these days. I’m not very familiar with the city and I don’t have any connections. You’re from the city, can you help me think of a way?”
Lu Yuanqing pleaded with conviction.
Most housing in the city is now rented from work units or housing management departments.
There was no other way but to implement a housing allocation system.
Only a very small number of people own their own houses.
The family is large, but the living space is small, with three generations crammed together.
"You want to buy a house?" Gu Yushan was somewhat surprised.
"Yes! You have a wide network of connections and many resources. Help me find out where I can buy a house. I want to buy one!" Lu Yuanqing was even a little anxious.
I thought that even if Lu Yuanhuan and the others got married, it would still be a year or two before they met again!
Unexpectedly, he was about to marry off his sister, so he had to hurry up with the house purchase.
What he wants to buy is premarital property.
Although this isn't something we pay attention to now, he did.
He wanted Lu Yuanhuan to marry him off so that everyone would look up to her.
Don't think that when he went out with Lu Yuanbo to inquire about the situation yesterday, he didn't hear some gossipy women saying that Gu Yushan must have been out of his mind to want this country girl instead of Zhang Xiaoya.
Lu Yuanqing and Lu Yuanbo were furious when they heard this.
What's wrong with city people? Lu Yuanhuan is a college student!
Do you even see college students anymore?
It's very valuable!
Although Gu Yushan didn't know that his brother-in-law was buying a house for his future wife, he didn't even know why Lu Yuanqing suddenly wanted to buy a house in the city.
After all, they've always lived in the countryside; they can't stay in the city forever.
But he won't ask any more questions now, no matter how many they may be.
"Brother, isn't it a coincidence? I just happen to know someone who wants to buy a house!"
"Really?" Lu Yuanqing exclaimed in surprise.
What incredible luck!
Pshaw, pshaw, pshaw!! It's good luck!
"It's true, the other party's job is being reassigned, so they need to buy the house, but there's a problem!" Gu Yushu hadn't expected that something a colleague had casually mentioned a few days ago would actually come up in his hands today.
"What problem?"
"The other party's house is not far from my police station, and the location is very good. However, it's not one house, but two houses. The other party wants to sell both houses at once, but as you know, two houses together cost a lot of money. Most people really can't buy them all at once."
Gu Yushu was also helpless, "But the other party insisted on selling it all at once, and he was in a hurry to leave, not wanting to come back to deal with it a second time, finding it too troublesome!"
Lu Yuanqing: "..."
He didn't have much to say, he just silently lifted his foot and looked at it.
"Brother, what are you doing!"
Lu Yuanqing: "...It's nothing, just checking if I stepped in dog poop!"
I didn't step on it, but it was really pure luck!
"Take me to see it!"
An ancient saying goes: "...Alright!"
You just want to buy two sets?
He's really hiding his true abilities!
Gu Yushan was right; the house was not far from the police station and was in a very convenient location.
The two houses are still in good condition because people live in them; they're not exactly dilapidated.
The two houses are even next to each other.
For Lu Yuanqing, after reading it, he was completely satisfied with everything.
Since it's close to the police station, there's no need to worry about safety.
He was worried that the girls would suffer in the city because they lived far away.
And so, Lu Yuanhuan suffered a loss.
If he or Lu Yuanbo had been there, they would have gone straight to the door with bricks in hand, instead of letting others make up stories about them.
The two houses are next to each other, so Lu Yuanhuan and Lu Mingxi will be able to live closer to each other in the future, which is even better!
"I want the house. How much? We're honest people, so no problem. We can transfer the ownership this afternoon. I'll pay right away!"
