My Husband and I Brought Hundreds of Millions of Supplies to Farm

223 Chapter 223 Buying A House (1)

However, Gu Ziyi did not listen to him at all. She only felt it was embarrassing that she had divorced and wanted to find a place to stay as soon as possible.

“I just want to hurry up and find a house. We need a place to stay,” she insisted.

Zhou Ying saw that she was determined and did not try to persuade her anymore. “Sure. Let’s buy you a house to live in first. As for the shop and the land, it’s better to take your time.”

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang could only wipe her tears and knew she was out of options.

“Alright, then I’ll buy a house first. I’ll come and find you tomorrow.” Gu Ziyi nodded.

After a few polite words, the mother and daughter left.

After sending them off, Zhou Ying and Gu Chengrui suddenly became silent.

Gu Ziyi had changed so much that she must have been greatly affected. He just did not know what had happened to torture a woman to the point of paranoia.

However, the two didn’t have the habit of being nosy, so they quickly continued with their tasks.

The next afternoon, Gu Ziyi came over with her eldest daughter, Huanhuan. “Sister-in-law, thank you for bringing us around. There’s a carriage outside.”

“No worries, it’s just a small favor.” Zhou Ying informed Sun Lianghong about her going out, then turned around and got into the carriage with them.

Zhou Ying took the mother and daughter to the town’s largest property agency. She greeted as she approached Manager Qian. “Uncle Qian, business is here.”

“Manager Zhou. Please come in.” Manager Qian, who was lying on the lounge chair with his eyes closed, immediately came up to them when he heard that there was business.

“Your life is sure to be one of leisure.” Zhou Ying then introduced them to each other.

Manager Qian turned to Gu Ziyi and greeted her. “Oh, it’s Miss Gu. May I know what kind of house you want to buy?”

If he remembered correctly, she was married to a scholar. He was confused as to why she was buying a house here.

“A house that can sleep five or six people and is safe in its surroundings,” Gu Ziyi stated after some thought.

“That means houses in the east and north sections. Wait a moment, and I’ll take a look.” Manager Qian picked up the book on the table and flipped through it.

Based on his memory, he pointed out two houses and said, “One is near the academy. It’s a house returned by a scholar who passed the exam. There are three main rooms and two east and west side rooms.

“There is another house not far away, where a merchant once used it to house his mistress. There are five main rooms and three rooms in the east wing.

“Many merchants stay in the surrounding area, and every family has a guard.”

“Mistress?” Gu Ziyi’s expression turned ugly.

Manager Qian could tell she was disgusted by the word “mistress.” He coughed dryly and continued, “Although she’s a mistress, she’s more of a concubine. It’s just that she seems to have a bad relationship with the main family.”

He was interrupted by Gu Ziyi halfway through his sentence. “Is there anything else?”

“These two are the most suitable for you, but there are also two bigger ones. One is a small courtyard with two entrances and a total of 11 rooms. It was owned by a wealthy family that moved away. The house was just renovated five or six years ago, and it’s pretty new.

“There’s another one in the southern area, similar to this one, but closer to the pier.”

“Then let’s take a look at the small courtyard with two entrances.” Gu Ziyi spoke after thinking for a moment.

“Sure, please wait a moment. I’ll get the keys.” Manager Qian left for the keys and called his wife out.

Zhou Ying said a few polite words to her and then went to the small courtyard with Manager Qian.

After entering, there was a row of four rooms before them. The main living room was near the second entrance of the courtyard, which was built with two side rooms. In addition, there were two smaller rooms, each in the east and west wings.

There was also a small garden in the middle.

The courtyard was square and clean, looking fresh and new as a bonus.
