Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 403: Sha Zhu Buys a House

The next day, Yi Zhien went to the hospital, paid the fee, and took Yi Zhonghai's body out. Then she hired someone to take it to the crematorium to burn it.

After getting the ashes, Yi Zhien originally wanted to be buried next to his mother! But when he saw his mother's tombstone again, Yi Zhien changed his mind because he couldn't stand the fact that Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang were married.

He thought that his mother might not be happy either, so Yi Zhien threw the urn away.

After throwing away the urn, Yi Zhien burned some paper for his mother and returned to the courtyard.

In the afternoon, after getting a certificate from the street office, Yi Zhien and Sha Zhu went to the Housing Management Office. By the evening, they had completed all the procedures.

After completing the formalities, Yi Zhien went home, while Sha Zhu returned to the courtyard again.

Arriving at the courtyard, He Yuzhu went straight to Yan Fugui and said proudly, "Yan Fugui, this house belongs to me now. I came here to inform you that you must move out by the end of this month!"

"You bought Lao Yi's house?" Yan Fugui asked in shock.

"Hey, hey, hey, how can you talk like that! I bought it from Yi Zhien, not that damn Yi Zhonghai." Sha Zhu said dissatisfiedly.

"Yes, yes, yes, Yi Zhien, it belongs to Yi Zhien," Yan Fugui said, changing his tone, "Is this house yours now?"

"Of course not. I don't need to show you the paperwork I completed this afternoon!"

"No, no," Yan Fugui said with a smile, "Zhu Zi, you can do this. Now we have...seven houses in our yard. Not bad, not bad. You are really young and promising!"

"Yan Fugui, stop flattering me. Did you hear what I said? You must move out before the end of the month."

"Zhu Zi, can you live in all these houses?" Yan Fugui said with a smile.

"Yan Fugui, I know all your tricks," Sha Zhu said, "To tell you the truth, I have another yard next to my master and senior brother. I just bought it and I will move in at the end of the month. I will rent out all the houses in this yard."

"Isn't that perfect? ​​If you rent this room to me, you won't have to bother looking for a tenant." Yan Fugui said.

"Hey, rent it to you? At the price you and Yi Zhonghai agreed on?" Sha Zhu said contemptuously, "Do you think I'm a fool?"

"Zhu Zi, you know the situation of us old couple, and you don't need those houses. Why don't you have pity on us and rent them to us at that price?" Yan Fugui pleaded.

"I know your situation very well. Three sons and one daughter, not bad at all. Besides, whether I need it or not is my business, not yours," Sha Zhu refused. "If you want to rent it, I can agree to it. It's the same as the market price outside. If you don't want to, then you can move out at the end of the month."

"Zhu Zi, although I have children, you also know them." Yan Fugui said bitterly.

"Yan Fugui, you know this is called retribution?" He Yuzhu said with a smile, "Whatever the cause, there will be the result. My master said that I should not meddle in other people's karma casually, otherwise it will implicate myself. So, the price is what it is. If you want to rent it, come to my house later to sign the contract. I'm still busy!"

After saying that, Sha Zhu left the house with his hands behind his back and went straight to the front yard. He was going to complete the task assigned to him by Li Kangri, which was to buy houses. He wanted to buy all the houses in this yard.

After coming out, Sha Zhu went straight to Yang Sijun's house in the front yard.

"Knock, knock, knock!" He Yuzhu knocked on the door, "Aunt Four, is Aunt Four home?"

"exist,"

After answering, Fourth Aunt opened the door and said, "Hey, it's Zhuzi! Why are you here?"

"Aunt Four, I want to discuss something with you." He Yuzhu said, "Is my uncle here?"

"It's Zhuzi, I'm here! Come in if you have anything to say."

After Sha Zhu went in, Fourth Aunt poured him a glass of water. After taking a sip, Sha Zhu told her the purpose of his visit: to buy a house.

"Zhu Zi, if I remember correctly, you have quite a few houses in this yard, including Yan Fugui's in the front yard and your own. Why did you buy so many houses?" Yang Sijun asked.

"It's like this, you know my master, he's the one who wants to buy it. My uncle lives in the backyard, so my master wants to buy all the houses in this yard for my uncle to live in, so it will be quieter." Sha Zhu explained.

"Is that so! What about you?" Yang Sijun asked.

"Hehe, Fourth Uncle, to be honest with you, I also bought a yard that is about the same size as this one. I will move there at the end of the month." Sha Zhu said happily.

"A yard?" Yang Sijun said in shock.

"Of course not. That's why my master wanted to buy this yard," Sha Zhu said. "Don't worry, if you don't want money, I will buy you a building in exchange. I will give you one and a half square meters for every square meter you have here. Moreover, the building has a toilet, which is very comfortable! You don't have to queue up to use the toilet in the future."

Hearing Sha Zhu's words, Fourth Aunt was moved. She had been thinking of living in an apartment building for a long time. Her own children all lived in apartments now, so she left the couple here. She thought that if they moved to a bigger house, they could live together with the old and the young, so that they could take care of each other.

"Zhu Zi, is it true? Can I really exchange one square meter for one and a half square meters?"

"Of course. When have I, Sha Zhu, ever said empty words? But I see that it is not easy for you two old couple to separate from your son. Please don't tell anyone." Sha Zhu said.

"Okay, I won't tell anyone." Fourth Aunt said with a smile, "Old Yang, what do you think? How about we ..."

"Hey, I've lived here for most of my life, I really can't bear to leave," Yang Sijun looked at Fourth Aunt and said, "I know what you think. I'm old and my children are not around. This is not a big deal. I agree, but Zhuzi, you have to let me discuss it with my children and give you a reply tomorrow, okay?"

"It's my duty," Sha Zhu said with a smile, "Aunt Si, I won't go to other houses to ask today. You can ask the people in the front yard tomorrow if anyone is willing to exchange one flat for one flat. If anyone is willing, ask them to come to me. I will thank you when it succeeds."

"Of course I would. This is great news. Don't worry, I'll go talk to her tomorrow." Fourth Aunt said happily.

"That's fine, Fourth Auntie, thank you!"
