Chapter 63 News about the Courtyard
Ji Lan wasn't the only one who shared this guess; Chu Mingzhou was one of them.

Seeing that Ji Lan did not stop him, Chu Wenzhu continued to speak.

"Nuan Nuan, the price is still 80 yuan per gram, what do you think?"

Actually, Su Nuannuan wanted to say that she would just give it to him. However, she knew they wouldn't accept it, so she swallowed the words she was about to say.

In the end, Su Nuannuan agreed to let Chu Wenzhu buy the jar of wild ginseng.

"Alright, Uncle Chu, I agree."

Seeing that Su Nuannuan agreed, Chu Wenzhu was very happy and called to Ji Lan.

"Ji Lan, quickly give Nuannuan 1600 yuan."

Seeing this, Ji Lan didn't hesitate and went back to the inner room to get the money.

Seeing this, Su Nuannuan said to Chu Wenzhu.

"Uncle Chu, won't you weigh yourself?"

Although Chu Mingzhou had just said that the wild ginseng slices in the jar weighed at most 20 grams, Su Nuannuan couldn't let Chu Wenzhu charge based on that weight.

Chu Wenzhu waved her hand dismissively.

"No need, Nuannuan. I've already made a profit by selling you the wild ginseng slices."

Chu Wenzhu is right. These days, many people can't buy wild ginseng even if they have the money. For Chu Wenzhu to encounter it today, even if it costs a lot of money, it's worth it. Moreover, Shen Yuan also said that the wild ginseng Su Nuannuan has is of very high quality. So, in a way, he got a good deal.

In the end, Su Nuannuan accepted the 1600 yuan that Ji Lan brought over.

Shen Yuan and Xu Heyi didn't bring that much money, so they told Su Nuannuan they would go home to get it.

Although the Xu family's house was some distance from the Chu family's, it was less than half an hour's ride by bicycle. Therefore, Xu Heyi rode his bicycle home alone to get the money. It was only one o'clock in the afternoon, and the round trip from the Chu family's house to the Xu family's house would not take up any time at all.

After Xu Heyi left, the group started talking again.

Su Nuannuan, Zhao Yalan, and Chu Mingxia were all around the same age. Therefore, the three of them sat together.

"Sister Yalan, do you know if there are any houses for sale near the school?"

Su Nuannuan suddenly spoke up.

Now that she has the money, Su Nuannuan is thinking of buying an apartment near a university in Beijing. Adding the 1000 yuan her godfather is withdrawing, Su Nuannuan has earned a total of 2600 yuan today.

Moreover, she hadn't spent the 940 yuan she earned from selling the watch. Therefore, she had more than enough money to buy an apartment in Beijing.

However, considering the turmoil in the next few years, Su Nuannuan only wanted to buy a smaller house as a precaution.

Zhao Yalan looked at Su Nuannuan with some surprise. Chu Mingxia also looked at Su Nuannuan with a surprised expression.

"You want to buy a house?"

Su Nuannuan nodded.

Zhao Yalan assumed Su Nuannuan would save the money, but she never expected her to buy a house. However, after her initial surprise, Zhao Yalan didn't ask any further questions, but instead recommended the house to Su Nuannuan.

"I do know some things. But do you want a bungalow or an apartment?"

Su Nuannuan lowered her head in thought. An apartment building was definitely out of the question. She was just a young girl living in a building with so many other people; wouldn't that be blatantly telling everyone she was easy to bully? Besides, apartment buildings weren't soundproof. If she spoke even slightly loudly in her room, the neighbor in the next apartment could hear her through just one wall. A single-story house would be much better; with the door closed, no one could see what was inside.

Chu Mingxia, who knew little about the matter, listened quietly to the conversation between the two.

After thinking for a moment, Su Nuannuan finally spoke.

"Sister Yalan, I want a bungalow."

After Su Nuannuan finished speaking, Zhao Yalan began to think about which houses were suitable.

Suddenly, Chu Mingxia, who had been quiet, spoke up.

"Sister-in-law, you forgot that the house across from ours is empty." After Chu Mingxia reminded her, Zhao Yalan remembered.

Originally, Zhao Yalan had also taken a liking to this apartment and wanted to buy it, but her husband's job transfer left her and their son in Beijing. She also had to work regularly and didn't have time to take care of her son. Therefore, she gave up the idea of ​​moving out.

If Su Nuannuan wants it, this house is just right.

"Yes, Nuannuan, the house across the street is in a hurry to be sold. The owner is going abroad to study and doesn't know when he will be back, so he wants to sell the house."

Hearing Zhao Yalan's description, Su Nuannuan immediately became interested. Although she hadn't seen the house yet, its location was excellent.

Located right across from Yalan's house, it avoided having strangers as neighbors. Beijing is so big; if she were to encounter a truly awful neighbor, Su Nuannuan would be in deep trouble. Most importantly, when she arrived, she observed the surrounding houses—they were all courtyard houses.

Courtyard houses in Beijing were once fetching astronomical prices. Now, she had the chance to own one, and Su Nuannuan was instantly thrilled.

"Sister Yalan, please tell me in detail."

Zhao Yalan happened to know a lot about this house. So when Su Nuannuan asked, she told her everything she knew.

"The house across the street is a small courtyard house with four rooms, and it will cost about 900 yuan."

900 yuan isn't very expensive, and Su Nuannuan can accept it, especially since she earned 2600 yuan today. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been willing to spend the money to buy a house.

After listening to Zhao Yalan's words, Su Nuannuan recalled the floor plan of a traditional courtyard house she had seen in her previous life. It consisted of a main house, two side rooms, and a rear room facing the street, making a total of four rooms.

Su Nuannuan thought about it and felt that it just met her requirements. Although the house was still a bit big for her, it would be enough for Su Jianjun and Chen Xiuting to stay in when they came to Beijing in the future.

However, Su Nuannuan did not rush to a conclusion and inquired about other houses.

Zhao Yalan told her everything she knew. Chu Mingxia added her own insights from time to time. Su Nuannuan quickly grasped the general idea.

In the end, Su Nuannuan felt that the courtyard house across the street was more to her liking.

The other houses were either too far from Beijing University or too big and conspicuous, none of them met Su Nuannuan's requirements.

"Sister Yalan, could you help me contact the owner of the house? I'd like to take a look. If everything is alright, I'd like to buy it."

After Su Nuannuan finished speaking, Chu Mingxia's face lit up with joy.

"That's great, Nuannuan! Now that we're neighbors, we can go to and from school together."

Su Nuannuan nodded happily.

Zhao Yalan was also very happy. The house across the street was inhabited by other people; it was better to have the familiar Su Nuannuan there.

"Nuan Nuan, the owner of the house isn't home today. I'll bring you to see it again tomorrow."

Su Nuannuan nodded.

Having found a house she liked, Su Nuannuan felt much lighter. Her dimples appeared when she was happy.

Seeing this, Chu Mingxia subconsciously poked at it.

Su Nuannuan was stunned after being poked, staring blankly at Chu Mingxia who had placed her finger on her face.

Chu Mingxia smiled awkwardly and said embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry, Nuannuan, I couldn't help it."

Zhao Yalan couldn't help but laugh as she watched the interaction between the two.

"You two are so cute."

Seeing this, Su Nuannuan also smiled.

In fact, Chu Mingxia wasn't the only one present who wanted to poke him; Chu Mingzhou on the other side also had the same idea.

However, he restrained his restless heart.
