Happy life of a woman in the space apocalypse

Chapter 11: Finding a Place to Stay

Jian Wu pulled her straw hat down low and walked into an alley, turning left and right. It would have been difficult to find her without someone to lead her. Finally, she stopped behind a dilapidated house.

There is a large open space behind the house. Those selling things just find a piece of open space as their stall. There are also a few people holding sticks who seem to be maintaining order.

Jian Wu walked and looked, wild animals, food, daily necessities, the variety of them was really beyond her expectations.

"Follow closer."

Shang Weidong actually wanted to take Jian Wu away, but he really didn't have the courage.

When I walked to the end, I saw a man sitting at the table smoking a cigarette, and there were a few people standing next to him chatting leisurely.

"Hey, Brother Dong is here. What good stuff do you have today?"

The man sitting on the table quickly jumped down and handed Shang Weidong a cigarette.

"How do I collect this now?"

Shang Weidong refused the cigarette and took out a gold bar from his pocket. The man took a bite and weighed it in his hand.

"This is of good quality. Brother Dong must sell it at a high price. I gave others 4.37 yuan, but I give Brother Dong 4.75 yuan, is that ok?"

Shang Weidong turned his head to look at Jian Wu, but Jian Wu was watching the fun with her back to him. He had no choice but to make the decision himself.

"Okay, let's calculate the amount together and change some tickets for me."

When Jian Wu heard the word "ticket", she turned around. It seemed that in this era, you needed a ticket to buy everything. Money could not be used individually, which was actually quite troublesome.

"Okay, hurry up and get the money and the ticket."

The man suddenly smiled in a nasty way and hugged Shang Weidong to the side.

"Brother Dong, who is this? Your little wife?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Next time you see her coming to the black market, take care of her and don't let this blind thing cause trouble."

Shang Weidong pulled the man's hand away and explained seriously that with Jian Wu's personality, she would definitely go to the black market alone in the future.

"Hehe, you're still pretending. You've already protected her but you still don't admit it. This is what you can tell from just half of her face. Brother Dong has a very good eye."

The man gave a thumbs up, saying that the girl would be so beautiful if she showed her whole face.

The money and tickets were brought over quickly, but Jian Wu had already figured out what she needed to buy after she settled down.

"Brother Dong, the total is 2,375 yuan. How much more do you want for the ticket?"

"Give me another fifty bucks for the usual ones."

Anyway, Jian Wu wouldn't know anything if I asked her. I guess I'll have to talk to her about it later.

It only took twenty minutes to get everything done after entering the black market. Jian Wu did not take the money or receipts, as she wanted to wait until everything was done.

"For house matters, you can only ask the aunties and grandmas sitting at the intersection. They usually know who is selling a house."

Well, the intelligence center definitely has first-hand information.

Shang Weidong slowed down, and he suddenly felt like they were just walking on the street.

"Shang Weidong, is this place far from where you work?"

"Not too far. Factories are usually in remote locations, and it only takes half an hour to walk there."

"That's fine. I'll treat you to dinner when I get settled."

"Okay, it's my pleasure."

Jian Wu had already thought about how to thank Shang Weidong and Aunt Zhao. He might not want money, so she could treat him to a meal and send some food to his home. Who doesn't need food nowadays?

Since it is almost ten o'clock in the morning and it is not yet time to cook, there are quite a few people sitting and chatting at the street corner.

"Auntie, I want to ask if there is anyone selling a house nearby?"

The gossip at the scene immediately shifted to Jian Wu and the other person.

"The young couple just got married and are looking for a house."

Jian Wu was not embarrassed at all, since what she said was not true anyway, but Shang Weidong clenched his fists nervously, fearing that she would be angry.

"Hahahaha, you're still embarrassed, young man."

“There aren’t many houses for sale in this area. There’s one with a big yard, but the house is too run-down. You wouldn’t buy it even if you saw it.

Those who are still selling their houses have to walk more than a mile forward. I heard that there are two families selling their houses there, saying that they are moving to a big city for work. "

Jian Wu doesn't mind whether the house is dilapidated or not, as long as she likes to tear it down and rebuild it.

"Auntie, can you tell us the exact location?"

The old lady was very enthusiastic and took us there personally.

The house is the innermost one in the alley. From the outside, it looks at least twice as big as the one next door, and there is no wall connecting the two houses.

"Lao Lu, is Lao Lu at home?"

"Come right in."

An old and low voice sounded, and the old lady spoke softly while covering her mouth.

"Old Lu doesn't like to go out. He sold his house because he wants to go to the countryside to find his daughter. He heard that his son-in-law is a good man and will take care of him in his old age."

Jian Wu nodded in agreement. In the past life, both men and women had to take care of themselves in their old age.

When I pushed open the door and entered the yard, I saw that the house on the far left was half collapsed. It seemed that it was not just dilapidated, but rather just broken walls and ruins.

The yard is quite big, but it is not used at all, and there are a lot of weeds growing at the base of the wall. The only good thing is that there is a well in the yard, which makes it very convenient to use water.

At this time, the old man also came out and looked Jian Wu and the other person up and down.

"they are?"

"Well, they are here to see your house. Aren't you going to sell it?"

The old man nodded, not at all happy that someone came to buy the house.

"Thank you, Lao Li."

"Don't be polite, just talk."

"Thank you, ma'am."

The old man waited until the old lady left and then went back into the house. Jian Wu and the old man looked at each other and followed her into the house.

"Uncle, how much do you plan to sell this house for?"

"sit down."

The old man looked around the room as if in a nostalgic mood.

"This is the house my husband and I bought five years after we got married. I thought I could live here forever, but I didn't expect that I would never have the chance to live here again."

Jian Wu scratched her face. She remained silent even when others were reminiscing about the past. She also showed no empathy at all.

Shang Weidong listened to the old man patiently, but it was obvious that he was talking to him.

“Don’t underestimate this house, but it has a history of hundreds of years. The people who lived here before were officials who took refuge here. It has been renovated several times.

Living here has good Feng Shui and is comfortable. I have lived here for such a long time and rarely get sick. "

Jian Wu scratched her face. This was the beginning of the promotion of the house. But she really liked such a big yard. She could use it to cool off in the summer and build snowmen in the winter.

Shang Weidong noticed Jian Wu's impatience and quickly interrupted the old man with a smile.

"Old man, please give us a price. We still need to go to the other two houses to look at houses."

The old man smacked his lips with satisfaction, and stretched out a palm and a finger.

"Six hundred dollars, no bargaining."

Jian Wu was very satisfied, but she still needed to compare prices from other stores.

"Okay, let's go look at other houses. If you still like this house, we'll come back."

"Sure, I'll move out as soon as you pay me. My daughter is about to give birth to her third child, and I'm going to stay with her no matter what."

Jian Wu was even more satisfied, as the other party could vacate the house immediately.
