Chapter 176 The old house is in trouble

At Xing Yi's insistence, Secretary-General Gu had no choice but to agree to take the pair of young pigeons back for him to raise and compete in the competition.

Xing Yi persuaded Secretary-General Liu Gu to have lunch.

Secretary-General Gu said he had something to do and was busy going back.

After the car drove away, Xing Yi hurried to the market. When he saw the pigeons with white feathers, he bought a pair.

Ni Shuzhen went home and was surprised when she saw the white pigeon.Then he saw the cup on the table and asked if any guests had been here.

Xing Yi lied and said he was a pigeon seller and sent him back to help install the cages.

Xing Yi put on his apron and cooked in the kitchen.Ni Shuzhen walked around the white pigeon for a while, smelled the aroma of oil, remembered something, and went into the kitchen to tell Xing Yi.

When she came out from get off work, the proprietress of Liuqing Restaurant was on the roadside, greeted her, and came up to ask her: "Did you, Xing Yi, come home yesterday?"

Ni Shuzhen replied: "I'm back. What's wrong with the boss lady?"

The landlady said: "It's like this. Earlier, Xiao Xing helped Aunt Gu write a petition to file a lawsuit for her old house. The lawsuit was won. Aunt Gu is very fond of people and often talks about their family. No matter what happens in the future, I will come to Teacher Xiao Xing for advice. Aunt Gu has come to the hotel twice in the past two days to ask. I only know where Xiao Xing works, but I don’t know where you guys have moved. Where, I came here specifically to take a look today, it’s a coincidence that I bumped into you after get off work, it’s great.”

Ni Shuzhen asked: "Oh, what's the matter with you?"

"Aunt Gu didn't say what happened, so she asked me to help find out where you live, and she will go find it."

"Then tell her that we live in Dongmenpo, next to the original seed company warehouse."

"I know, I know, I'll tell her, thank you."

Ni Shuzhen asked Xing Yi: "Then Aunt Gu must have something to talk to you about."

Xing Yi analyzed: "It's possible that something went wrong with the old house. I have to go there tomorrow morning."

The next morning, Xing Yi came to Liu Qing Restaurant first. The proprietress was busy. When she saw him, she quickly gave up her seat and started with a bowl of Changwang Noodles.

While watching him eat, the landlady kept talking: "Did your lover tell you that I would go find you?"

"Said she, she urged me to come quickly and ask what happened."

"I was entrusted by Aunt Gu to find you."

“So what’s the outcome of the old house lawsuit?”

"I got the house and lived in it. She couldn't live in it alone, so she discussed with me that she would renovate part of it and rent it out to others. She also asked me to pay attention to people who are interested in renting the house. I have the opportunity. Just help her promote it. It’s only been a while now, so I told you that I don’t want to rent it anymore and I’m going to sell it.”

"Sell it? That place will definitely be developed in the future. It is a key development area in the city, and housing prices will definitely rise. It would be a pity to sell it now."

"But she... could see that she was really in trouble. She came twice and asked me if I knew your home address. I was so embarrassed that I forgot the first time. The second time I hurried to the post office. I'm looking for your lover. I really don't want to let her off again. Fortunately, you're here. It's great to be here. Aunt Gu always talks to everyone. He heard the judges talking in the court, saying that this must be a top student. After getting the complaint, he just couldn't find it. Without a reason to refute, Aunt Gu said that she had met a noble person. She said this several times and often talked about it. I understand her feelings and must see you. If she encounters difficulties, she must help her find a way to come up with an idea. .”

"Didn't you hear what kind of problem she encountered?"

"I didn't ask in detail. I don't know exactly what it was for. I think she would tell you everything when she met you."

"Okay, then I'll go to her house."

"If you don't go, she might come to my place today. Why don't you wait here?"

"If she doesn't want her to be tired, I'd better go."

Xing Yi came to Siyanjing, saw the old house, and knocked on the door. Aunt Gu was picking up vegetables in the kitchen. When she heard the sound, she came out and saw Xing Yi. She was so happy that she couldn't find a place to put the dustpan.

After making tea, I asked Xing Yi to agree to have lunch here.

Xing Yi said: "I want to know about you and see if I can help."

Aunt Gu shook her head repeatedly, sat down and told him everything.

My brother called. There was a flood there. The whole street was flooded and all the goods were damaged. A batch of goods just came in and they were to be wholesaled the next day. As a result, they were flooded at night. Hundreds of thousands of dollars were left standing before their eyes. It just disappeared. One batch of goods was taken for safekeeping, and now they want to claim compensation.My younger brother is now desperate. He has walked to the bridge several times and looked at the turbulent river. He has wanted to jump off and end his life several times. However, he still has three children at home and a wife who cannot afford to be ill. He is peaceful after death. But what do they do?

Aunt Gu had tears in her eyes.

Aunt Gu was impatient and asked her brother how much money he needed on the phone.My younger brother said, don’t ask for 20. If you don’t have 20, 15 is fine.

Aunt Gu couldn't afford such a large amount of money, so she thought of asking a good friend to borrow it. When she heard that the amount was so large, she shook her head.

"I only have this one younger brother. If something happens to him, I won't be able to live a good life."

After much deliberation, the only thing that can be sold for a lot of money is the house that was just acquired.

Because I was very anxious, I spread the news, and soon someone came looking for me.

Aunt Gu said: "Two people came here a few days ago, a man and a woman. They looked at the house and said that they had good connections and knew many people, so it was easy to find a buyer. So they first asked someone to do an appraisal and take photos. Come and collect the handling fee today and send out the sales information tomorrow.”

Xing Yi was a little sensitive when he heard that there was a handling fee. Since he said he wanted to help, why should he ask for a handling fee?

He asked: "How much is the handling fee?"

Aunt Gu said: "Withdraw 5.00% of the house price."

"How much do they value the house?"

"30."

"That means the handling fee is [-]?"

"Yes, I don't have that much with me, only five thousand. They agreed to take the five thousand today and make up for the rest later."

As they were talking, the man and woman appeared at the door. When they stepped in, they suddenly saw Xing Yi. They hesitated and put one leg on the threshold for at least five seconds.

Aunt Gu said: "You are here, I have all the money ready." She reached for her belt.

Xing Yi suddenly stood up, blocked Aunt Gu with his body, and said, "Hey, wait a minute, I have something to say." He pushed her hand from behind, and Aunt Gu retracted her hand.

Xing Yi turned to the two people and said, "I forgot to tell you that I am her relative. I want to ask, you helped her sell the house. Have you found a buyer?"

"How could you not look for it? If you don't look for it, then we will buy it ourselves." The two looked at each other, grinned, and shook their bodies.

"What about the buyer? He should also be on the scene."

"Oh, the buyer has something to do today, so we will represent him."

"Did you charge the buyer's handling fee?"

"Ah, take it."

"How much did you charge?"

"This……"

"Are you going to keep the buyer's secret secret?"

"What do you mean?"

"Hey, Aunt Gu, what's going on with this relative of yours? We haven't seen him before. Where did he come from?"
