Chapter 400: Buying a Private Estate
Chapter 400: Buying a Private Estate
Jiang Mengyu purchased that storefront, but it was inconvenient for those little ghosts to live there.
Thus, she rented the abandoned building back to its previous owner, and the next day, she and Ah Xin were in another courtyard Ah Xin had found.
The courtyard was similar to a Nong Family’s small courtyard, located near City North. Surrounded by houses on three sides and a wall with a gate on the other, the yard hosted a hand-pump well and a pomegranate tree.
There were nine rooms, ample for the children to live in.
What’s more, since the place was a single-story building and somewhat remote, it didn’t interfere with the children’s Cultivation.
Of course, the price wasn’t steep either—just three thousand yuan.
Therefore, Mengyu purchased it without hesitation, then she bought furniture and had it delivered to the courtyard.
To facilitate teaching the children, Mengyu took one of the main rooms for herself, Xiao Hua took another, one was turned into a hall, and the remaining six were side rooms where a dozen or so children could share two or three per room.
On moving day, the kids were overjoyed: this place would be their home from now on, and with a home, they were no longer children without one.
After everything was sorted, Mengyu asked Ah Xin, "Didn’t you say you found three places? Where’s the other one?"
Ah Xin was puzzled: Hadn’t they already bought a house?
"The other one is by the abandoned rice factory, two li south of the county town, beside the defunct Dragon Head Ridge kindergarten. The property is just ten meters wide at the front, but it expands inward, totaling sixteen acres. However, it’s quite expensive—the asking price is eighty thousand."
Mengyu’s heart leaped: Dragon Head Ridge? That’s where the new county government center would be!
And, the area would later be developed by real estate developers, with the houses selling for prices comparable to the city district.
And that piece of Dragon Head Ridge Kindergarten land was later bought by someone and turned into a private estate.
Property that sat atop the "Dragon Head," which later became a lucrative, high-end club.
With the land available for eighty thousand yuan, why would she consider it expensive?
In the end, Mengyu also bought the abandoned kindergarten property.
This left Ah Xin somewhere between laughter and tears. He had shown three properties to Master for her to choose her favorite, but in the end, all three were purchased.
After the purchases, she handed them over to Ah Xin: "Think of a way to make use of these. I trust you."
Seeing Xiao Hua a little gloomy at the side, she added, "Don’t worry, Xiao Hua. Your main tasks now are studying and Cultivation, to get into a good university."
Suddenly, she looked seriously at Ah Xin: "Have you ever thought about going to university?"
Ah Xin looked down. How could he not want to? It was a dream for him.
But he’d never been to school and barely recognized a few characters. Only recently, under Xiao Hua’s guidance, did he start learning some cultural knowledge every night.
To think of university was pure wishful thinking.
Mengyu sighed: "I will give you lessons every evening from now on."
Ah Xin was curious: "Why only in the future? Are you going somewhere?"
Mengyu nodded: "I have to go find my Mom for some matters. I’ll leave this place in your hands, make sure everyone persists in martial arts training regularly, no slacking. And keep a close eye on that Jiang Huaiyu during this time."
She then handed one thousand yuan to Ah Xin: "A poor person studies literature, a rich person learns martial arts. Those who practice martial arts must keep up with their nutrition, ensure there is enough food, and eat a full meal with meat every day. There’s a good chance I won’t be back until after the New Year."
Going to see her birth mother and not spending New Year’s with her seemed somewhat inappropriate.
