Chapter 334: Chapter 334 Buying a Courtyard House

Why didn’t Zhao Tianlei take over caring for the children and buy a house near his school to take care of the kids?

His wife wanted to buy a house in this area.

It seemed like he had a lot of money, but after buying this house, there wouldn’t be much left.

"I plan to press for a lower price, I’ll go make the transaction tomorrow."

The Courtyard House, it was feared, wouldn’t be around for many more years before being demolished.

However, the demolition would vary by area, with some Courtyard Houses slated for demolition and others not.

Whether or not they were demolished, as far as she was concerned, the sooner they bought a Courtyard House, the sooner they could enjoy it.

"Okay, you arrange it, tomorrow I still have to take Da Bao and Xiao Bao to school, and we can’t keep living in the guest house."

Indeed, they couldn’t live in the guest house forever.

The house was a bit dilapidated, but he found a waste station today where he could salvage some second-hand furniture.

Of course, he wanted his wife to have all new things.

"Let’s go out to eat."

"Okay."

The family simply had dinner nearby and then returned to the guest house.

Yun Xiaoxiao was about to fall asleep when she suddenly remembered something, "Did you send a telegram to Dad?"

"I did, go to sleep!"

The next morning, the mother and two children woke up, and Zhao Tianlei had already brought back breakfast.

Putting the money into a backpack, Zhao Tianlei carried it.

After dropping off their kids at school, the couple went to check on the house.

Upon arriving outside the Courtyard House and seeing the door and walls, Yun Xiaoxiao did not scorn it.

"Comrade Zhao, you’re here?" A man around thirty years old accompanied by a middle-aged man around fifty was already waiting there.

"This is my wife’s, my home is ruled by her," Zhao Tianlei said with a smile.

Yun Xiaoxiao knew the rationale behind negotiating the price.

"I’m afraid this door would break with just a slight kick, right?"

Although this statement was a bit exaggerated, the door indeed looked much aged.

As soon as the door was opened, they saw the dirty and disordered courtyard.

"Are you sure this isn’t a junkyard?"

As soon as she said this, smiles were squeezed out on the faces of the two men opposite.

Zhao Tianlei looked at Yun Xiaoxiao with eyes filled with tenderness.

"Buying this house, neither the renovation nor the furnishing will be cheap."

This was indeed the case.

Yun Xiaoxiao was quite disdainful.

Zhao Tianlei coaxed her while pressing for a lower price.

The original asking price for this Courtyard House was pushed down to eight thousand and eight hundred when it had originally been over ten thousand.

By now, in ’79, a good Courtyard House could sell for tens of thousands.

At the housing management office, Zhao Tianlei directly wrote Yun Xiaoxiao’s name.

He was so fast that Yun Xiaoxiao couldn’t even stop him before her name was written by the other party.

"Why did you write my name?"

"It’s the same whether it’s your name or mine."

After obtaining the property title, the couple returned to the Courtyard House.

"Wife, shall I clean up a bit?"

"Together." The sooner they cleaned up, the sooner they could move in.

"I’ll do it, I’m quicker."

Zhao Tianlei was quick at work.

"Then I’ll go buy some brooms..."

Zhao Tianlei took off his white shirt to reveal the vest underneath and bent down to start cleaning, piling up the unwanted items together.

This house turned out to be the cheapest Courtyard House he found lately.

The other houses were either tens of thousands or a bit far from Tsing University.

Yun Xiaoxiao, who had just gone out, came back with a second-hand bicycle and a broom.

"Wife, what’s this?"

How could his wife return with a bicycle after just going out?

"I bought it for you, second-hand, no ticket needed, one hundred."

One hundred?

It was almost new, and still so cheap?
