Chapter 71 The Farm
Every morning, Locke gets up for a run.

At his level of physical fitness, it is difficult to improve simply by exercising. He only needs to maintain a certain amount of exercise every day to ensure the flexibility of the body.

Meditation combat can gain combat experience, but it also requires physical cooperation and a certain amount of exercise in order to be able to coordinate one's combat awareness and movements.

Occasionally, when I pass by Mr. Solis's house, I will pay attention to whether the weeder named John is here to work.

I already knew in the plot that Mr. Solis's beautiful wife had already protruded from the wall more than a year ago. Now that he sees the lawnmower, Locke still has a bit of gossip to watch the show.

I have already decided not to provoke Gabriel, but it is not only women who like to gossip and gossip, men are not much different, especially this kind of thing, it is interesting to think about it.

The Locke house and Mr. Solis's house are separated by a resident. When I came back from a run and passed by this day, I saw the weeder named John enter the room of Mr. Solis's house.

To be honest, if it was in Dongguo, if the husband encountered such a thing, he would choose to divorce under normal circumstances. In the future, unless it was because of the children, the two parties would probably never communicate with each other.

As in the plot, after going around and around, Mr. Solis actually forgave the other party, so the United States dared to shoot such a plot.

After returning to his home, he took a shower and changed his clothes. Locke came to the small garden in the attic, read a book and occasionally glanced at Mr. Solis's house.

The weeder was still on the lawn in front of the door, and the work was only half done, but it had been more than half an hour, and the weeder John hadn't come out of the room.

This made Locke sigh with emotion, Mr. Solis worked hard, earned a lot of dollars, gave his wife a rich and comfortable life, and gave valuable gifts from time to time, what is the reason for it?

Sure enough, relying solely on material things to maintain a relationship is not reliable, especially since Gabriel is still a model. How chaotic this circle is, even later generations of Dongguo people know.

Of course, Locke didn't have the idea of ​​fighting for Mr. Solis. After all, he knew it later, and finally chose to forgive. Both parties realized some problems and made adaptations, and finally grew old.

When he saw this plot in his previous life, Locke couldn't help complaining. He could only say that soft advertisements of American persuasion are everywhere, making people's values ​​​​different.

After a while, Ashley asked Locke to have breakfast. Seeing that John hadn't come out yet, Locke lamented that young people are energetic and quick to reply.

After breakfast, Locke went back to the study to read, and when it was almost noon, he stood up and glanced at the window.

The situation of Mr. Solis's house could not be seen, but the lawn mower at the door was still in its original position. With a thought, Locke went to the first floor to pick up a bottle of red wine, and walked to Mr. Solis's house on foot.

With a bad taste in his heart, Locke rang the doorbell one after another. The other party didn't answer at first, but he knew there was someone in the house, so he stood in front of the door and pressed a few more times.

After a while, Gabriel's voice finally came from the room: "Who is it?"

Sensing the panic in the dialogue, Locke smiled:

"I'm Locke Lee who moved here a few days ago. I heard that you worked as a model in New York before. Ashley likes modeling very much. She wants to know more about you."

"...OK, please wait a moment, I will answer the door right away."

After waiting for about ten more seconds, the door of the room opened, and Gabriel was wearing a black silk pajamas, her long black hair was spread out, and she had a lazy and satisfied charm on her body.

He gave her the red wine in his hand as a visiting gift, chatted casually, and saw the weeder John coming from the backyard solemnly with large scissors, his head was sweating profusely, and his hair was wet.

Pretending not to notice that the other party didn't even zip up his trousers, Locke praised Gabriel's garden and lawn, watching the other party deal with him pretending to be calm, and couldn't help laughing in his heart.

Especially when it comes to the fact that the other party has to repair the lawn and garden two or three times a week, I can only hold back a smile secretly. How can a normal person need to be so diligent in mowing the lawn.

Feeling almost done, Locke casually said that he could go for a morning run together when he was free, and then he said goodbye and left.

On the way home, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, his gossiping thoughts were greatly satisfied, and he even thought maliciously that he might take a photo next time he found a chance, and maybe he could give it to Gabriel in the future. To commemorate.

Fortunately, he suppressed this wicked thought as soon as it came out, but he suddenly thought of Ms. Mana in the next street, and the thoughts that had just passed by before made waves again.

Before Locke could figure out how to carry forward the legacy of Wei Wu and make a contribution to the spread of culture, he received another message that the farm he wanted to buy had already been found.

Buying a farm was an idea that Locke came up with a few days ago. The reason was the treasure under the Holy Trinity Church.

The top part of these treasures was stored in the storage space by Locke, and the rest was locked in the basement of the room together with piles of gold coins.

But this is only a small part of the treasure, and most of the rest can only be placed in multiple leased warehouses for the time being.

The security of the rentable warehouse is still open to question. Not to mention that if it is accidentally exposed, it may be discovered that it was stolen and lost a large amount of money. The key is to worry about attracting investigations.

The joy and excitement of harvesting the treasure faded, and Locke now began to worry about various problems that might arise.

In the past period of time, he sold a small amount of antiques and artworks through various channels, as well as some gold coins. The funds realized are now in the accounts of overseas companies.

Compared with the huge amount of treasures, such a speed of selling stolen goods is really worrying. The longer it takes, the higher the possibility of accidents.

He has been thinking about how to properly place these treasures, and finally thought of a way two days ago, which is to buy a manor or farm of his own.

Ready-made manors have basements or vaults, but most of them are difficult to fully meet the requirements. In the end, Locke chose to buy a farm and build a suitable manor by himself.

For the sake of convenience, the location of the farm should not be too far away. In the end, Locke chose to be in New Jersey, and gave a rough outline of his requirements, and then naturally someone was busy for it.

New Jersey is next to New York, and some of the local tax rates below are considered to be the lowest in the east. This is also an important reason why Locke chose to buy a farm in New Jersey.

The salesman named Dylan rushed to Meijing Town, and while handing over the information to Locke, he introduced the 3600-acre farm with mountains, lakes, forests, swamps, and snow-capped mountains in winter.

It is actually not a good thing to have mountains, forests, and swamps within the farm, because according to federal regulations, in order to protect the environment, these places need to maintain their appearance and cannot be remodeled at will.

As a result, these places cannot grow products, that is, they cannot create value.

However, the annual tax is not less at all. Calculated in this way, the income that can be generated every year is very small, and even some disasters will cause you to lose money if you are not careful.

In terms of investment value, it is not cost-effective to buy such a farm, so for those who want to invest, this farm is not very popular. The current farm owner has listed the farm for half a year and has not sold it yet.

But the purpose of Locke's purchase of the farm at the beginning was not for operation, and looking at the environment of the farm in the information, he felt that it would be good to use this farm as a place for vacation.
