Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Shen Maiqiu knocked away Wang Jianjun's mischievous hand and said coquettishly:

"Let's talk about serious matters!"

"Oh, where were you talking about?"

Shen Maiqiu looked at Wang Jianjun speechlessly and said:

"We could have earned a million dollars a month, but we had to pay those detectives 200,000 dollars as protection money."

At this point, Shen Maiqiu angrily grabbed Wang Jianjun's hand and bit it to vent his anger.

"It's okay. These people will pay us back with interest in the future anyway. Just consider it as sending the money to them first."

Wang Jianjun knew that she was unhappy and immediately began to comfort her.

He had previously asked Lei Bao to investigate Lu Le's assets for him, and he has now discovered several places where he is suspected to have hidden his money.

Just wait until I have time to investigate the situation.

"I understand the truth, but I just can't accept it!"

Shen Maiqiu became a housekeeper, and she felt distressed about spending such a large amount of money every month.

"Okay, let me tell you something happy."

"What's so happy?"

Shen Maiqiu also became excited.

Wang Jianjun then told her about Pian Ye’s courtyard house.

But Shen Maiqiu shook his head after hearing this:

"Forget it, brother Jianjun, just give that courtyard house to my sister. Anyway, I rarely go back to Hong Kong, and all the shops here are registered under my name."

Since Shen Maiqiu said so, Wang Jianjun did not insist.

Anyway, no matter whose name it is registered under, it belongs to their family.

"Then let's buy a villa in Xiangjiang. One with a large yard, so it will be more convenient to drive in the future."

Wang Jianjun is not very satisfied with the house he lives in now.

Since I'm already in Hong Kong, I might as well get a villa for myself to live in.

It’s just like the courtyard house in Beijing.

No matter how loud the noise you make, you don't have to worry about being discovered.

Unlike here, Shen Maiqiu has to cover his mouth every time he does something.

This really affects the experience.

Shen Maiqiu was very happy about buying a villa.

She also felt that the current apartment was a little small.

Although it is a sea view room, there are people upstairs and downstairs, and the sound insulation is not good.

Sometimes I can even hear my neighbors doing things.

Now I am a wealthy woman with a net worth of tens of millions, so I can still afford a villa.

Shen Maiqiu was thinking about where to buy a house, but the next moment his eyes blurred and he appeared in a hot spring in the space.

"Don't! I don't even have my clothes yet... Eh!? Where are my clothes?"

Shen Maiqiu was about to ask where his clothes had gone, but then he didn't have the chance to ask.

After having several in-depth and easy-to-understand exchanges with Shen Maiqiu, Wang Jianjun hugged the exhausted Shen Maiqiu and fell asleep comfortably.

The next day he took Shen Maiqiu to Sijiu City.

Shen Chuxia has to go to class today, and the two sisters look the same anyway.

It would be the same if Shen Maiqiu went to handle the formalities on behalf of her sister.

I have to say, twins are convenient in this regard.

The two of them came to Pian Ye's yard.

Pian Ye is a particular person, and he has already cleaned the entire courtyard inside and out.

"Hey! This is Brother Ye's wife, right? She is so beautiful. Brother Ye is so lucky."

"Haha, it is indeed my blessing to marry my wife. Mr. Pian, let's go look at houses together."

Wang Jianjun had seen it once before when he was buying furniture, and now he took this opportunity to take another look.

"Okay, let's go. I'll keep all the furniture in this yard for you. They're all made of top-quality wood, and I asked Uncle Niu to repair some of the broken ones, so I'll keep them for you."

This is just perfect. Wang Jianjun knows that all the furniture in this man’s house are top-notch items.

The wood used is also precious.

Wang Jianjun had bought two pieces of furniture with Pian Ye before.

Pian Ye's family was not there at the moment, so the three of them went from room to room to get a general idea.

His yard is not as big as Wang Gang's but it is not small either.

It is a courtyard with three entrances, about the same size as the one he lives in now.

It’s also very close to Wang Gang’s courtyard house, and can be reached in 20 minutes by bike.

Moreover, the whole yard is very new and must have been maintained regularly.

Unlike the slum where he lived, which had long been destroyed by the people living there.

In addition, the location of his house is also good, no wonder Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru are fighting for it.

"Mr. Pian, I am very satisfied with this house. Please name a price. If it is suitable, we can go and complete the formalities today."

"Okay, Brother Ye, you are very open-minded. My house is not as good as the prince's. If you want 20,000, you can take it."

"Okay, twenty thousand is twenty thousand. Then let's go and transfer the ownership today?"

"No problem! I have the title deed with me."

Pian Ye had already prepared everything.

Using the same method as last time, the two of them first got a promissory note and then went to the Housing Authority to transfer the house.

The name written is Shen Chuxia.

After the payment and goods were settled, Pian Ye said goodbye to Wang Jianjun and left.

Wang Jianjun took Shen Maiqiu back to the new yard.

Shen Maiqiu suddenly became interested when he thought of the gold and silver antiques he had dug out at Wang Gang's house last time and asked:

"Brother Jianjun, do you think there may be treasures hidden underground in this courtyard of mine?"

"Probably not?"

"Let's give it a try. Maybe there really is a treasure waiting for us."

Wang Jianjun glanced at the ground.

Unlike Wang Gang's yard, Pian Ye's yard is just paved with bricks.

He rolled his eyes and said:

"But it takes a lot of effort to dig it down, and your brother Jianjun doesn't have the motivation."

Shen Maiqiu rolled his eyes at him, then deliberately raised his voice and called him "Brother Jianjun" a few times in a coquettish manner.

Wang Jianjun almost couldn't bear it, but he still pressed on:

"So what uniforms and stockings will you wear next time?"

Thinking of the several sets of clothes that Wang Jianjun had customized for her, Shen Maiqiu couldn't hold back her expression.

"Where do you get those weird ideas in your head, and where do you get those clothes?"

"Hey, there's nothing you can't buy with money in Hong Kong. You just don't agree or not?"

"Alright, alright! I admire you so much. Hurry up and dig."

In order to satisfy his curiosity, Shen Maiqiu finally chose to agree to Wang Jianjun's unreasonable request.

Wang Jianjun was full of motivation. He took out tools from the space and started digging.

What surprised the two was that they actually dug out something.

"There's a jar! Brother Jianjun, look!"

Wang Jianjun also saw those pottery jars.

Could it be that there really is a treasure?

It’s just that this treasure is a little too shabby.

That pottery jar looked like just an ordinary item.

It's the kind that has a history of hundreds of years but is not worth much.

Wang Jianjun then brought the jars up.

There are four jars, not big, about the size of a basketball.

It looks a bit like a pickle jar.

"Isn't there pickles in here?"

"Just open it and you'll know. Maybe there's gold inside!"

The money-loving Shen Maiqiu has already started to imagine.

Wang Jianjun didn't have such high expectations.

If it were real gold, it wouldn't be put in this clay jar.
