I won 90 million, all I want to do is lie down and relax!

After finishing his meal, Lu Zhaoyang leaned back on the sofa in the dining room.

He sipped his chilled Sprite and thought of that little courtyard in the old town.

He really doesn't need to work for money anymore.

It's not that he really intends to lie down and do nothing.

But at least he won't have to work so hard for money anymore.

You can take a break.

As for the future, I'll find a relaxed job, or do something on my own, like opening a small shop.

When he was in high school, he imagined having a small courtyard and decorating it according to his own ideas, making it look like the courtyard of his dreams.

Or rather, who doesn't have such aspirations?

Now, he has the practical conditions to realize his past dreams.

Without hesitation, Lu Zhaoyang, after thinking it through, rode his newly bought electric bike to the old town.

He quickly found a real estate agency, parked his car, and went inside.

It was lunchtime, and all the workstations in the shop were empty.

Lu Zhaoyang seemed to hear the sound of slurping noodles.

"Is anyone home?"

"There's someone there! There's someone there!"

As soon as Lu Zhaoyang finished speaking, a woman stood up from the last workstation, holding a bowl of noodles in her hand.

The partition was blocking his view, so he didn't see it.

The other person looked to be in their thirties and was dressed very smartly.

"Hello, would you like to view the apartment?"

When the woman saw a customer arrive, she quickly swallowed the noodles in her mouth and put down the bowl in her hand.

"Yes, to view apartments."

Lu Zhaoyang responded and went into the store.

"Please sit down, please sit down."

Upon hearing this, the other person got up and went to pour water.

"Thanks."

Lu Zhaoyang sat down at the coffee table against the wall, took the water offered to him, and said with a smile, "Why don't you finish eating first, sis? I'm not in a hurry."

"It's alright, it's alright, it's just cold noodles anyway, it won't bother you."

The woman waved her hand, sat down opposite Lu Zhaoyang, casually handed him her business card, and said with a friendly smile, "This is my business card. Young man, you look quite young. Are you buying a house for your wedding?"

Lu Zhaoyang glanced at the business card; the recipient's name was Gao Caiyun.

He picked up the business card, nodded, and said, "Hmm... I guess so."

"Are you interested in any properties? Would you prefer to look at new developments or resale apartments? We have partnerships with several new developments. If you don't know much about any, I can recommend one based on your budget," Gao Caiyun said with a warm smile.

"I'd like to take a look at the yard across the street. I wonder if any of them are for sale?" Lu Zhaoyang pointed to the low bungalows across from the real estate agency.

"courtyard?"

Gao Caiyun paused for a moment, glanced outside, and asked in confusion, "Little brother, you want to see bungalows?"

"Hmm, I'm not sure if all the documents are complete, so is it possible to make a transaction?"

Gao Caiyun nodded and said, "Now that they all have full property rights, there's no problem with the transaction."

"Okay, I'd like to take a look. Could you please show me?"

"It works, no problem!"

Gao Caiyun was a little surprised by Lu Zhaoyang's decisiveness.

They usually worry that clients are too eager to ask questions and take them to see houses, but they never expected that Lu Zhaoyang would take the initiative to see houses before they even sat down and said a few words.

"Okay, little brother, if you want to see the yard, I'll take you there. I have two keys in this shop. There are a few others that I don't have here but have in other shops, I'll get them for you."

Gao Caiyun got up, went into the inner room, took out two keys, and was about to leave.

Lu Zhaoyang didn't get up, but pointed to her workstation and reminded her, "Sis, you haven't finished your noodles yet."

"Hey, it's okay, I'll eat when I get back." Gao Caiyun didn't take it seriously.

"No need, let's eat first and then go. There's no rush. If we miss out on food, we'll waste the whole afternoon," Lu Zhaoyang insisted.

Gao Caiyun was taken aback, clearly not expecting Lu Zhaoyang to be so considerate. She turned around, glanced at him, and smiled, "Okay, then please wait for me."

"Little brother, where are you from in Yunzhao?"

Gao Caiyun went back and ate her noodles, asking casually as she did so.

Qinghe Town.

With nothing to do, Lu Zhaoyang looked at the map of Yunzhao City posted on the wall.

"Oh, have you been working in Yunzhao all this time? Why didn't you bring your girlfriend along when you were looking at apartments?"

"I just returned to Yunzhao..."

Lu Zhaoyang knew that many salespeople did this, subtly inquiring about clients' situations during casual conversations.

Gao Caiyun is very approachable, and her questions are not at all offensive.

Lu Zhaoyang had nothing to hide, so he answered whatever came to mind.

After Gao Caiyun finished eating her noodles, she locked the door and took Lu Zhaoyang on a bicycle to the other side of the street.

"Little brother, how come you're looking after single-story houses? People like you are rare."

"Waiting at the traffic light at the intersection," Gao Caiyun said with a smile.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem with the house here?" Lu Zhaoyang asked seriously.

"No, that's not it. The house itself isn't a problem, and the location is pretty good, but you're so young. These days, young people prefer apartments with all the amenities and comfort," Gao Caiyun said.

"I see."

Lu Zhaoyang felt relieved and said, "I prefer the courtyard; my family is from the countryside."

Perhaps because of Lu Zhaoyang's patient waiting for her to eat, Gao Caiyun still liked him quite a bit, and kindly reminded him, "But little brother, let me say something: if you're thinking of waiting for the demolition, you should really think it over. This place probably won't be demolished anytime soon."

"Okay, thanks for reminding me, I didn't come here for the demolition compensation."

Lu Zhaoyang thought to himself, "It would be even better if it couldn't be demolished."

Soon, Lu Zhaoyang and Gao Caiyun had viewed two courtyards.

The first set was too dilapidated; the paint on the walls was peeling off, making it difficult to clean.

The second apartment has a good location, which Gao Caiyun also thinks is quite good, as it's right next to the main street.

What might be good for ordinary people, Lu Zhaoyang found too lively.

Gao Caiyun rode her electric bike with Lu Zhaoyang through the streets and alleys, talking non-stop.

Real estate agents are naturally good conversationalists, and Gao Caiyun clearly had a good impression of Lu Zhaoyang, a young and sensible younger brother.

Lu Zhaoyang also started talking to this kind-hearted older sister.

"Oh, right? Don't think I'm being nosy, little brother. If your budget is a bit tight, I can show you some houses in the family compound. They're a bit old, but the prices are cheap, and once they're cleaned up, they'll look just like new houses."

Lu Zhaoyang smiled and said, "It's alright, Sister Gao. I just like this kind of courtyard; it's so quiet."

"Silence, indeed silence..."

Gao Caiyun hesitated, then said, "A courtyard has its advantages too."

She figured Lu Zhaoyang probably didn't have much savings and was too embarrassed to say it, so she didn't say anything more.

"Sister Gao, are you interested in that shop at the very front?"

Further ahead there is a pond, and there are a few houses by the pond.

Lu Zhaoyang had already checked the location; it was his favorite spot, but he didn't know if it was for sale.

"Little brother, do you mean the house next to the puddle?" Gao Caiyun asked.

"Yes, yes, yes."

The two arrived at the pond, and next to them was the courtyard house that Lu Zhaoyang had inquired about.

"Even if they were selling it to you, don't buy it. It's next to a puddle; it'll breed mosquitoes in the summer!"

Gao Caiyun said disdainfully, "If you like water views, I'll take you to see the houses in the residential compound next to the river. The floors are pretty good too."

"I think it's fine. Does this puddle belong to someone?"

Lu Zhaoyang looked at the fallen leaves floating on the water, and there was an old man fishing on the opposite side.

"No, it belongs to the village collective."

"Wouldn't it look beautiful if you tidied it up?"

"Shall we tidy up?"

Gao Caiyun shook her head and smiled, looking at the innocent boy, and said, "To outsiders, it looks very beautiful with water and grass, but it's not the same if you live right next to it. It would be nice if someone could tidy it up, but who would do that? The village doesn't have the spare money."

Lu Zhaoyang was overjoyed. If he could really buy that courtyard, he wouldn't mind spending some of his own money to renovate it.

However, he didn't dare to have too much hope.

There are quite a few courtyards here, but it seems there aren't many for sale.

It just so happens that the store there sells it.

But what if something unexpected happens...?
