Chapter 215 Yu's House
"Ahem, I just sell wine. Why would I buy such a big shop? Isn't it a waste?"
When Wang Yongchang heard what Yang Wanli said, he accidentally choked on his saliva and started coughing violently.
He stammered out an explanation and then said nothing more.
After a while, Zhang Jinlan returned to the backyard with her granddaughter in her arms, but she became dazed.
"Grandma, do you want to buy that shop?"
Jiang Fubao raised his head and asked.
She didn't believe that there was a ghost in the backyard of the shop. If there really was one, why had she never seen the original owner?
I'm afraid it's just a man-made illusion.
In this way, wouldn’t the family be able to get a bargain?
Two hundred and twenty taels, at this price, you can only buy a corner in a remote alley.
And the kind without a backyard.
To put it in context, it would be about 2.2 million yuan to buy a mansion worth tens of millions in modern times.
Just ask, who wouldn’t be moved?
Besides, this is just the price set by the seller.
If grandma steps in, she can at least pay back ten or twenty taels of silver.
That's even cheaper.
"Well, grandma wants to go take a look this afternoon. Fubao, stay in the shop obediently. Grandma won't take you with her."
Zhang Jinlan was indeed tempted.
After all, the price is too cheap.
Don't take advantage of the bastard.
She planned to go around alone.
If she really felt uncomfortable the moment she entered the shop, she would definitely not buy anything.
So she doesn't plan to take care of her granddaughter.
After all, my granddaughter is only three years old.
If it gets contaminated with something bad, it's over.
"No, I want to go, grandma, please take me there. I'll be protected by the immortal grandpa, it'll be okay."
Jiang Fubao naturally felt uneasy about letting grandma go to the shop alone.
She shook her head, pouted her lips and acted unhappy, even bringing up the immortals in an attempt to force grandma to agree.
"Fubao, stop bothering your grandma and come to your mother."
Seeing her daughter making a fuss, Zhang Yanzi hurriedly called her to stop.
Jiang Fubao didn't care at all.
She pretended not to hear.
Buying a shop is a big deal for a family.
After so many days, this is the first time her family wants to buy a shop, so she must check it.
So she hugged her grandmother's calves tightly, whining and refusing to let go.
no way.
Zhang Jinlan, who has always loved her granddaughter, had no choice but to compromise.
Jiang Fubao then showed a satisfied smile, and Zhang Yanzi, who was kneading dough nearby, felt helpless.
My mother-in-law really dotes on her daughter.
But she couldn't say much.
After all, she also loves...
It's the same thing as the other, so no one should blame anyone else.
At noon, after finishing their meal, the grandparents and grandchildren went out again to check out the shop next door.
They walked for two minutes and soon arrived at the Wangyue Restaurant.
The shop sign had been taken down long ago and the door was still closed. A piece of yellowed and torn paper was pasted on the door. The writing had become blurred after being hit by the previous rain and was completely unreadable.
Zhang Jinlan had no choice but to carry her granddaughter to ask the owner of the bun shop next door.
Only then did I learn that the owner of Wangyue Restaurant and his family all lived in Tianqing Lane, Shibu Street.
Shibu Street is not far from Baishi Street, it is right next door.
It took the grandparents and grandchildren less than a quarter of an hour to reach Tianqing Lane.
It's much quieter here than in Haochi Lane.
Most of the people living here are embroiderers, or they run cloth shops at home and do fabric business.
Zhang Jinlan didn't know where the owner of Wangyue Food Restaurant was.
She had no choice but to ask everyone one by one.
The third person she asked happened to be the neighbor of the person she was looking for.
Under her leadership.
Zhang Jinlan stood at the gate of Yu's house holding her granddaughter's hand.
"Who are you to the Yu family? It seems that he has no relatives. Ever since Shopkeeper Yu became insane, the food shop and the cloth shop have been closed. Almost no one has come to visit. It's really sad.
You say, how can a healthy person go crazy like this? He must have been scared by the evil ghost in the shop. Oh, why am I saying this? Just knock on the door yourself. I have something else to do, so I won’t accompany you.”
The woman leading the way seemed to be very talkative.
When she realized that she had said too much, she ran away.
Seeing her frightened expression, Zhang Jinlan suddenly felt a little regretful.
Shouldn't she have come?
Jiang Fubao saw Grandma's hesitation and took the initiative to help her make the choice.
"Boom boom boom——"
She knocked on the Yu family's door with her chubby little hands.
When Zhang Jinlan wanted to stop it, it was too late.
After waiting for a while, Jiang Fubao vaguely heard footsteps.
An old woman who was about the same age as grandma opened the door. She leaned out half of her body and looked at grandma in confusion, then lowered her head and looked at herself.
"who are you?"
Fan Wanyue asked first.
"I heard that your shop is for sale. I want to go and take a look. Is it convenient?"
Since her granddaughter was knocking on the door, Zhang Jinlan had no choice but to go ahead.
"You want to buy a shop? Do you know what happened to that shop?"
Fan Wanyue looked at the grandparents and grandchildren with a complicated expression.
"I know. Don't worry. I came here after asking around."
Zhang Jinlan nodded and told the truth.
"Okay, come in and sit down first. It's hot outside. I have to get a key before I can accompany you to see the shop."
She originally had this shop listed with a pawnshop, but because she had been trying to sell it for a long time without success, the pawnshop refused to help her sell it.
So, she could only put a piece of paper on the front door of the shop.
I thought that whoever bought it would come to my house after seeing the words on the paper.
But after waiting for half a year, no one came to the door.
I originally thought there was no hope of selling this shop.
Who knows...
Looking at the grandparents and grandchildren in front of her, Fan Wanyue seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Two people have died in this shop, and my husband has become crazy because of it. Although I really want to sell this shop, if you really want to buy it, I still suggest that you don't live in the backyard and leave the shop before dark."
Fan Wanyue persuaded.
Her words made Zhang Jinlan regret her decision even more.
But I watched my granddaughter walking forward stubbornly.
She could only swallow her saliva and replied: "No hurry, let's go and take a look first."
The grandparents and grandchildren were led by Fan Wanyue to sit in the main hall.
She went to the house to get the key.
Jiang Fubao stretched his head and looked left and right.
The Yu family’s house was a bit old. The vermilion beams and pillars were no longer bright, and the carved tables and chairs had holes in the corners, as if they had been smashed by someone.
Even the doors and windows were badly worn.
But take a closer look at the wood.
All of them are fine mahogany and ebony.
It seems that the Yu family used to live a very wealthy life.
Just when Jiang Fubao looked carefully.
An old man with untidy beard and messy hair ran into the yard, shouting loudly.
"There is a ghost, there is a ghost, hurry up, leave, move away quickly, there is a wronged soul crying, she is asking for her life, asking for her life——"
The old man's voice was hoarse but sharp.
It sounded like a rusty iron pan being rubbed by a spatula.
Zhang Jinlan saw the whole scene and looked outside with a serious expression.
Didn't speak.
