Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

"Xiao Xu, Xiao Xu, are you home?"

After finally making it to the weekend, Xu Changping was lying down to relieve himself from the fatigue of the week when there was a loud knock on the door.

After taking a deep breath, he lazily stood up and opened the door.

"Director Wang, why are you here?"

"How can you ask someone to do something for you without asking any questions?"

Director Wang rolled her eyes at Xu Changping in annoyance. If it weren't for the fact that this guy was also a hero, she wouldn't have made this special trip.

Xu Changping was not annoyed after being scolded. He smiled and invited the person into the house. He poured tea while talking.

"Director, don't be angry. Come in and sit down. You don't know that our medical office has been undergoing a reform recently. I was so busy that I forgot about this matter."

This week has kept him extremely busy. He has to help with follow-up patients during the day and write lesson plans at night. He is almost broken into two halves.

Fortunately, they were quite capable and had gotten used to the new way of seeing patients over the past week, so he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

When Director Wang heard what Xu Changping said, he nodded in understanding. He wasn't angry at all, he was just saying it.

Seeing Xu Changping's actions, she quickly spoke out to stop him:

"Okay, stop busying yourself. I'll leave as soon as I'm done."

"You say."

Xu Changping kept talking without stopping his hands. After placing the tea next to Director Wang, he took out a plate of oranges and melon seeds from the cupboard and placed them on the table.

"I have inquired about what you asked. Professor Xie has confirmed that he will not come back, and he has agreed to sell the house to you."

"really?"

Xu Changping didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and said happily.

"Don't be too happy too soon. They said that the money from selling the house here must be enough for them to buy two more houses over there, otherwise they won't sell it."

Director Wang poured cold water on Xu Changping. She even doubted whether Professor Xie really wanted to sell the house, otherwise how could he come up with such an idea.

Xu Changping was not scared at all. These days, housing prices are actually similar everywhere, so he was not afraid that the other party would ask for an exorbitant price.

"No problem. Did he say how much?"

"1300 yuan, and all the furniture in the house will be yours. Consider it."

Director Wang felt that the price was a bit high. A small courtyard alone would cost about the same price nowadays.

"Okay, I'll take it." Xu Changping nodded without thinking.

He was unable to leave the courtyard because of the system, but as long as he took over the two next door rooms, he could legitimately seal the moon gate between the east courtyard and the middle courtyard.

In this way, he owns his own courtyard, but the gate is shared with other neighbors.

"Xiao Xu, why don't you reconsider it? Now a small courtyard with its own door and house is about the same price, maybe even cheaper."

Seeing that Xu Changping agreed so readily, Director Wang tried to persuade him again.

"No need, Director Wang. I want to ask, if all these rooms in the East Cross Courtyard are under my name, then this East Cross Courtyard belongs to me, right?"

Xu Changping thought about it and confirmed with Director Wang.

"Well, the yard of the East Cross Courtyard was originally a common area between your two families. If you buy that house, the East Cross Courtyard will be yours."

Director Wang nodded in agreement, saying that it was not a big deal anyway, and she could just add a note to the file when transferring the property.

"That's fine. How do I trade with him? Do I have to wait for someone to come back?"

Xu Changping felt relieved now and then asked the question that concerned him most.

"No, he asked me to help him do it. I can just remit the money via post office when the time comes."

Director Wang waved his hand and said that Professor Xie didn't even want the furniture in the house, so it was impossible for him to come back from afar.

"That's fine. Can I give you the money now?" Xu Changping said as he stood up and prepared to go to the bedroom to get the money.

"We have to wait a few more days until Professor Xie's house purchase and sale authorization letter arrives before I can take you to transfer the ownership."

Director Wang quickly stopped Xu Changping's actions and said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news." Xu Changping sat down again and said to Director Wang with a smile on his face.

"Okay, there's nothing else to do. I'll leave first."

Director Wang took the last sip of tea, put the cup on the table, stood up and spoke.

Seeing this, Xu Changping did not try to persuade him to stay and politely escorted the man out of the courtyard.

In the evening he had to take some goodies to thank Director Wang, who had even made a special trip to his house during his rest time.

After seeing Director Wang off, Xu Changping turned around and saw Yan Bugui, whose eyes were full of gossip.

"Xu boy, what's the matter with Director Wang coming here?"

"Nothing, why are you still staying at home instead of going fishing during your long break?"

Xu Changping remembered that in the original plot, Yan Bugui liked fishing the most when he was resting, and asked back with a smile.

"It's a bit cold outside, and Jie Cheng won't let me go."

Yan Bugui's face was full of pride when he talked about Yan Jiecheng.

"Uncle, if I remember correctly, your eldest brother Jie Cheng is engaged, why hasn't he held the wedding yet?"

When talking about Yan Jiecheng, Xu Changping thought of Wang Panpan. The incident between her, Yan Jiecheng and Liu Yang had caused quite a stir in the steel mill.

"Brother Jie Cheng, you are not old enough yet. I will let you eat wedding candy in the spring of next year."

Yan Bugui kept smiling as he spoke with certainty.

"Then congratulations in advance. I'll go home now."

Xu Changping complimented Yan Bugui again and walked into the courtyard with a smile.

Unexpectedly, when I passed by the Central Courtyard, I saw Qin Huairu carrying laundry with a bulging belly.

What day is today!

I bumped into this woman out of the blue and felt the gaze she was looking at me.

Xu Changping didn't even stop and walked past without looking around.

His senses were sharp, and even after he entered the Moon Gate, he could still feel the burning gazes of the people behind him.

Xu Changping's heart tightened. It seemed that he had to cheer up recently.

This woman is not a good person!

Looking at him like this, I wonder if he has any bad ideas again.
