Chapter 308 Preparing to Move Out of the Siheyuan

However, I have to discuss the matter of buying a house with my wife. This is not a small matter. I will need to consult her opinion when decorating the house.

"Wife, you see, we have earned a lot of money now. Isn't the place we live in a little small?" Although he has lived in this house for a long time and has a lot of feelings for it, the room is still a little small, and there are too many people and things to do in this compound.

Now that Sha Zhu and Qin Jingru are married, I wonder how Xu Damao and Qin Huairu will cause trouble.

"Do you want to move out?" Han Qiuyun really knew Li Shengli very well.

"Yes." Li Shengli nodded with a smile, "Our son and daughter will be back soon after completing their studies. We can't let them squeeze into such a small room with us then."

This small house of mine is fine for two or three people to live in, but it would be too crowded if there were more people. Besides, the sound insulation in this courtyard is too poor, and there are many people in the courtyard who like to eavesdrop.

"Sure, we make enough money anyway." Han Qiuyun agreed without thinking. Since the opening of his own restaurant, the daily turnover has been several thousand. Even if the profit is 55%, he has saved a lot of money in the past three years.

"Then what kind of house should we buy?" Li Shengli was not sure what kind of house he wanted to buy, but he planned to buy a house in a beautiful and spacious place. Although there were many big houses in Nanluoguxiang, Li Shengli did not like it because it was too noisy.

"We don't need such a big place just for our family." Han Qiuyun also considered this point, but neither family has many relatives, so it would be inconvenient if the house is too big.

Li Shengli touched the stubble on his chin and thought carefully. He didn't say that he would only buy one courtyard house. At most, he could buy two more and live in different places when the time comes. He could live in the smaller one when there are fewer people, and live in the larger one when there are more people.

"Then let's look around and see if anyone wants to sell a house right now."

Li Shengli has not made a final decision yet. He needs to see who wants to sell the courtyard house first.

It would be a waste of time to look for a house by yourself. For this kind of thing, you need to find someone. At this time, Li Shengli thought of someone, Yan Bugui who lived opposite him.

Yan Bugui is now retired and hangs out outside all day. He must know a lot of gossip outside.

Yan Bugui has always been very stingy, but he is still very reliable in doing things. As long as Li Shengli gives him some labor fees, Yan Bugui will definitely work very hard.

Thinking of this, Li Shengli went to Yan Bugui's house opposite and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" The old couple who were watching TV at home intently were startled by the knock on the door. Ever since their eldest son Yan Jiecheng went out to open a hot pot restaurant to make money, no one had come to their house at night for a long time.

"Teacher Yan, it's me, Li Shengli from next door." Li Shengli introduced himself outside the door.

Yan Bugui pushed the legs of his glasses on his nose and thought for a while, but he couldn't figure out what Li Shengli wanted to talk to him about.

"Old Yan, why don't you go and take a look?" Seeing Yan Bugui's puzzled look, the third aunt pushed him. Li Shengli was a rich man. He must have come to see Old Yan because he needed him to do something. Li Shengli was not a stingy person. Who knows what benefits he would get if he got the job done.

"Oh, that's right." Yan Bugui's eyes widened and he immediately reacted.

"Shengli, do you have something to talk to me about?" Yan Bugui looked at Li Shengli who was standing at the door with a smile.

"Teacher Yan, I need your help with something important." Li Shengli was now polite. "Tell me about it." Yan Bugui's heart moved. Li Shengli really needed his help with something. Considering Li Shengli's worth, he would definitely ask for a reward.

"Teacher Yan, it's like this. You know we have three children in our family. Now the eldest and the second oldest are in college." Li Shengli considered his words.

"Yes, I know that. Your child is the only one in this courtyard who has a promising future." Although Yan Bugui didn't know what Li Shengli meant by this, he also praised him.

"Yeah." Li Shengli nodded with pride in his tone, "When these two kids grow up, they might come back with their partners someday. Look, my house is so small now, and we won't have anywhere to live when that happens, right?"

"So what you mean is..." Yan Bugui pushed his glasses and began to think about Li Shengli's purpose. It was impossible to borrow his house. Could it be that he wanted to buy a house? At this time, Yan Bugui remembered that Li Shengli had bought the Zhao family's house.

"Yes, Teacher Yan, I am planning to buy a house." Li Shengli nodded.

Yan Bugui looked at Li Shengli strangely without saying anything. He was not selling houses, so why did Li Shengli look for him?

"Teacher Yan, I'm so busy going out to work every day that I don't have time to go out and see if there are houses for sale. You're retired now and have nothing to do anyway, so please keep an eye out for me when the time comes." Li Shengli saw Yan Bugui's confusion and spoke out to help him solve it.

Looking for a house? Yan Bugui frowned and thought for a while. He was free now and often rode his bike out for a stroll, but why would he do that for nothing? Yan Bugui's eyes were full of rejection.

"Don't worry, Teacher Yan, I won't let you work for nothing. As long as you find a house that meets my requirements, I will give you a hundred dollars as long as we make the deal." Li Shengli didn't think that a hundred dollars was a lot. Now Li Shengli's daily dividends are more than that.

When Yan Bugui heard Li Shengli's words, his eyes lit up, and that look made Li Shengli stunned.

"Shengli, is there really so much?" Yan Bugui hurriedly rushed forward and grabbed Li Shengli's arm and asked anxiously.

"Of course, Teacher Yan, don't worry, I still have some money." Li Shengli was frightened by Yan Bugui. He pulled away Yan Bugui's hands that were grabbing his arms, coughed twice, and said awkwardly.

"No problem, Shengli, just leave it to me." Yan Bugui patted his chest and accepted the job. It's just a matter of going out to find a house, just leave it to me with confidence.

"By the way, Shengli, what are your requirements for the house?" Yan Bugui remembered what Li Shengli said that met his requirements.

"Hehe, this is very simple. A two-story house of about 800 square meters, preferably around Shichahai, preferably near the lake. It doesn't matter if it's a little bigger, but a small one will do just fine." Li Shengli said something that made Yan Bugui feel suffocated.

After hearing Li Shengli say so simply that he wanted to buy a large house with four or five courtyards, Yan Bugui almost choked. This house is not cheap. A courtyard house like this costs tens of thousands of yuan. The price of a bigger one is something that Li Shengli cannot afford now.

"Li Shengli, you are really rich." Yan Bugui said in an inexplicable tone.

"Well, I only made a little money, and I spent it all on this." Li Shengli knew that wealth should not be shown to the public, so he added, "Teacher Yan, if other people know about this, I will pay the fee to whoever comes to me to facilitate the transaction."

Li Shengli knew Yan Bugui's character. After he said this, Yan Bugui would never dare to tell anyone about this matter.

"Don't worry, I understand everything. Don't you know me? Can I let others make this money?" Yan Bugui's words were full of pride.
