Chapter 100: Acknowledging an Elder Brother
Without a homeowner to lead the way, Cheng Jiuhe stepped in to introduce the courtyard to Mengyu.
"Don’t be fooled by the fact that this courtyard only has two sections. It’s quite spacious—twenty-six meters wide and thirty-six meters in depth. It has a total of sixteen rooms, along with a kitchen and toilets. In short, it’s very suitable for a large family to live in.
Ah, right, the original layout of the place was for a triple courtyard, but there isn’t a rear covering room built. However, there’s a backyard garden of over two hundred square meters. If you like, you could also convert the backyard into a rear covering room, and it would become a triple courtyard."
Mengyu felt like she really had a fate with gardens.
The small courtyard she bought yesterday was turned into a triple courtyard to accommodate a backyard garden, and the house she was looking at today was designed as a two-section layout because of the garden.
Moreover, she found the rooms in this courtyard to be much nicer than the ones she had bought before. Not to mention, the houses in this courtyard all had beautifully carved beams and painted rafters, and used rosewood for materials—the layout and everything was very reasonable.
No wonder they were asking for 180,000 yuan right off the bat.
She was already happy with the small courtyard she bought; she liked this courtyard even more!
But there was a big problem: she only had sixty thousand yuan on her. Buying Old man Chen’s courtyard cost her thirty thousand, and now she was left with just thirty thousand yuan—what should she do!
Cheng Jiuhe could tell from Mengyu’s expression that she wanted this courtyard!
He was internally astonished—where did she get so much money from?
Just as he was about to speak, Mengyu turned to him and said, "The value of this courtyard is more than 180,000, but I don’t have enough money on me right now. Could you help me find someone to sell something?"
Cheng Jiuhe was curious: "What do you want to sell?"
"Yuan Nourishing Pills!" Mengyu took out a jade bottle big enough to be held by two fingers, containing four Yuan Nourishing Pills.
She had taken this jade bottle from a storage talisman, specifically to divide the Yuan Nourishing Pills she took out of her space.
These pills from her space might have been too common—there were thirty pills in one bottle.
Hearing her words, Cheng Jiuhe was shocked—she actually had Yuan Nourishing Pills?
Cheng Jiuhe knew very well that these kinds of pills were treasures that martial artists dreamt of, costing between fifty to one hundred thousand yuan each, and they were priceless.
Doesn’t she realize how tempting these precious pills are to someone like him, a martial artist?
She actually handed over four pills to him to sell, how much trust does that display? Isn’t she afraid that he would just keep her Yuan Nourishing Pills for himself?
What he didn’t know was that Mengyu trusted him because she knew him in her past life, and both his character and Gu Dongxing’s were trustworthy.
She knew that in her previous life, both he and Gu Dongxing were martial artists, or else they wouldn’t have been able to accomplish great military achievements on the battlefield and continuously rise in rank.
It’s just a pity that the hero known for his distinguished service on the battlefield didn’t die amidst gunfire and rain of bullets, on the battlefield where death lurked at every turn, but under the plots and schemes of others.
Mengyu didn’t have a choice—she was completely in the dark in City B and wouldn’t even know where to start to sell Yuan Nourishing Pills. Who knows, the moment she took them out, others might just kill her and rob her treasure.
As a martial artist, Cheng Jiuhe should be aware of the value of the Yuan Nourishing Pills, and with his influence in City B, he wouldn’t have trouble finding buyers for the pills. Asking him to help her sell them was the most secure approach she could think of.
"Mengyu, do you really trust me that much?"
Cheng Jiuhe watched Mengyu with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, yet bubbles of thought kept popping up in his heart: Could it be that she’s taken a liking to me?
Mengyu gave a slight smile: "Brother Gu said that I can trust you!"
As soon as Gu Dongxing was mentioned, Cheng Jiuhe immediately dropped his carefree attitude and became serious: "Alright, I’ll help you sell these few Yuan Nourishing Pills." He was thinking of a way to keep those four pills for himself.
