Fisherman Fubao made his fortune by fishing

Chapter 201 Buying a House

After leaving the wonton shop, they rented a fairly respectable carriage and came to Donglin Village.

Li Yuer and Li Erlang got off the carriage and asked Lai Zi to take Dalang into the village.

Lai Zi asked the coachman to drive the carriage around the village several times, pretending that he couldn't find the way.

Sure enough, soon the greedy fortune teller Ma was fooled.

Her business has been booming these days and she is living a comfortable life.

But this person becomes more greedy the more he has.

"Whose house are you looking for?"

Li Dalang pretended to say, "Is this Donglin Village? Our young master wants to go to Gu Fengshou's house."

"Gu family! I know the old lady. I'll take you there."

Ma Shenpo followed the car like a dog, her eyes rolling around, and asked, "What are you doing at Gu's house?"

Li Dalang remembered what Li Yuer had taught him before, and said coldly: "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

When they arrived at the door of Gu's house, Li Dalang casually threw out a few copper coins to reward Ma the fortune teller.

Ma Shenpo counted them and found that there were ten copper coins. "What a rich man! Even a servant is so generous."

After Li Dalang helped the "sick" Lai Zi out of the car, Ma Shenpo's eyes became even brighter.

Look at the clothes, they are shining. And that thing hanging around the waist is shining silver, it must be worth a lot of money.

Goddess Ma was secretly delighted, thinking that this master and servant were a rich and fat sheep, and she was thinking about how to establish a relationship with them.

Li Dalang knocked on the door. When it opened, Gu Fengshou saw that it was a young man in brocade and gorgeous clothes. He asked in confusion, "Who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, are you Gu Fengshou's family? It's really rude of our young master to come and visit us because of your reputation."

Gu Fengshou nodded, "Yes, I am Gu Fengshou. What do you want to talk to me about?"

Gu Fengshou didn't think that his family had such wealthy relatives.

Lai Zi covered his chest, coughed twice, and said weakly: "I heard that something strange happened in your family before. I have encountered the same trouble recently. I can't sleep every night. I always feel that someone is crying on the roof."

Gu Fengshou would not publicize his family affairs himself, but Ma the witch had already spread the news for him, of course, to make herself famous so that she could make more money.

Gu Fengshou sold his cow and spent ten taels of silver. The witch Ma pretended to be a ghost and performed a dance, saying that she was calling back the soul of Gu Mancang. As a result, Gu Mancang really got better. A few days after Gu Mancang moved back to the east room, he moved back to the east wing with his bedding. When his parents asked him what was wrong, he just said that he didn't want to sleep in the east room anymore.

In fact, the strange noise did not disappear. Gu Mancang didn't want to continue to worry his parents, so his family sold all the cows for him.

He lied and said he didn't want to live in the east room because he found that if he lived in the east wing he would lose business.

However, Gu Mancang never fell ill again, and the couple thought he was traumatized and did not press him any further.

Before Gu Fengshou could speak, Ma the witch rushed to say, "Sir, you have found the right person. I was the one who got rid of the evil spirits in his family. If you have any problems, just come to me."

"Who are you?" Lai Zi pretended not to know her.

"I'm Ma Shenpo! Everyone around here knows me. I have great magical powers and am the best at catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits."

Gu Fengshou also nodded and said, "It was indeed Ma Shenpo who solved my family's problem."

Lai Zi pretended to be happy and said, "Excuse me, I didn't recognize you. I didn't expect you to be the one who catches evil spirits."

Seeing the young man on the other side coming up, Ma the witch quickly climbed up the pole and said, "From the look of your face, you must have been targeted by an evil spirit. Young man, take me to the house where the evil spirit is. I promise to help you catch the evil spirit and keep you safe."

Lai Zi coughed twice pretending to be excited, and said happily: "Thank you very much, but my parents have also invited a master at home, I wonder if there will be a conflict?"

When Ma Shenpo heard that someone was trying to steal her business, she secretly hated him and said, "Don't worry, I am open-minded. Since a Taoist friend has come, I would like to ask for your advice."

Lai Zi nodded slightly and said, "How about this? I'll bring someone to pick you up tomorrow to go to town to look at houses."

When Goddess Ma heard that it was a family in the town, she thought it was indeed a wealthy family and she could make a lot of money this time.

After the two sides had discussed the matter, Lai Zi got on the carriage and left.

When they reached the village entrance, Li Yuer and his friends came back from another path. They had been hiding behind a haystack and watching everything that was happening.

"Master Mu, you saw that old hag. Are you sure you can handle her?"

Mu Qingfeng stroked his beard and said, "I'd like to have some discussions."

But he didn't take Ma Shenpo seriously at all. It was obvious that the old woman was playing tricks and it would be easy to deal with her.

After returning to the town, Lai Zi quickly slipped away for fear of being seen, as he still had to continue playing the role of a young master.

"wait."

Li Erlang went up and took off his waist ornament, "I'll give it to you tomorrow."

Lai Zi gave Li Erlang a strange look and said, "Such a treasure, could it be a token of love?"

"What are you talking about? This whale bone sculpture belongs to me and my sister."

Li Yuer ignored him and said directly: "Let's go! We can come back to the dental clinic later."

Li Erlang paused, then thought of what Li Yuer had said before, and immediately became happy.

"Yu Baoer, are you really planning to buy a house?"

"Yeah, it's true."

They will be doing business in town in the future, and it will be inconvenient to travel back and forth, so they might as well just buy a house.

Xiao Jiang was very happy to see Li Yuer and his sister coming.

This time, the brother and sister's treatment improved a lot.

A broker came forward to serve tea and said politely to Xiao Jiang, "Boss, have some tea. It's freshly brewed."

Xiao Jiang nodded, and the man turned and left with a flattering smile.

Li Erlang patted Xiao Jiang on the shoulder and said, "Not bad! You have become a shopkeeper now."

"Thanks a lot for your help." Xiao Jiang said modestly, and at the same time sincerely thanked Li Yuer and the others.

Now, Shopkeeper Huang was found to have embezzled money, but the boss, considering that he was an old employee of the pharmacy and had followed him since the pharmacy first opened, did not punish him, allowed him to resign voluntarily, and gave him a sum of money for his retirement.

Shopkeeper Huang took the silver and felt extremely regretful. He wondered why he had such inappropriate thoughts.

Fu Changming, the owner of a pawn shop, and his first wife were deeply in love, but they had only one daughter, so they planned to find a son-in-law. Manager Huang wanted his son to marry the daughter so that she could inherit the pawn shop in the future.

When he found out that the boss favored a young man with no name or background instead of his own son, he became dissatisfied and tried every means to squeeze Xiao Jiang out.

Unexpectedly, he ended up shooting himself in the foot and also severed the friendship between the Huang and Fu families that had lasted for so many years. It was not worth it.

Li Erlang waved his hand and said, "No, you are sincere and kind in doing business, so it's natural that customers like you."

Speaking of business, Li Erlang became more serious, "Xiao Jiang, this is a big deal, you have to help us find it."

Xiao Jiang asked: "Are you guys planning to buy a house?"

Their pawn shop is not a government-run one, and their biggest business is real estate.

"Yes, we plan to buy a house." Li Erlang turned to look at Li Yuer, "Yu Baoer, what kind of house should we buy?"

"Any two or three-entry house is fine. It depends on the house. It's best if it has a well."

Houses like this in the town are not cheap, basically around one hundred taels.

Xiao Jiang took out the registration book and quickly searched for a suitable house.

Whenever there was a new supply added to the register, he would check it carefully. When he had nothing else to do, he would go on an on-site inspection and even ask the neighbors for information.

He is a very responsible and serious dentist.
