Chapter 241 Xiao Ding's fifth update Chapter 241 Xiao Ding's fifth update
The next morning, everyone started to act on their own. Li Xianglu prepared cloth and some things that needed to be sent to the woman, while Qin Xi went out after breakfast.

As a result, before noon, Qin Xi came back with the black bag. Li Xianglu thought that he had not exchanged it, so she frowned and asked, "Why? Can't you sell it?"

Qin Xi explained in a low voice: "The house owner said that gold is also acceptable, which is much more favorable than paying money."

Li Xianglu suddenly realized that this was a good idea. At noon, they had a simple meal of noodles. After the meal, Li Jianqing went to wash the dishes. He wanted to stay at home to look after the house. After all, buying a house was a big deal, so Grandpa Li still planned to help take a look.

There were four people going, so Qin Xi directly called a taxi and took everyone there.

Li Xianglu calculated the distance between here and there. They were on the edge of the West First Ring Road, while this small Western-style building was on the edge of the East Second Ring Road. The location was very good. Even if it was not a house, it would be a good deal to buy the land.

After about forty minutes, the car arrived at the destination. Qin Xi paid the fare and added two more dollars, meaning that it would be best if he could wait a while as he still needed the car. When the driver saw the two dollars, he was moved and immediately agreed.

This building is very conspicuous. It can be seen clearly even from a car two hundred meters away. It is a white Western-style building with a high wall outside. Li Xianglu couldn't help but be amazed. This area is probably about 1,500 square meters. The building is not tall, just a two-story building.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the yard, he saw the familiar big black mole waiting there. Qin Xi walked up to him and said a few simple words. He immediately came over and greeted the old man respectfully, then winked at Qin Zhen. The two had a feud before, and now they felt a little cordial when they met. After all, it was fortunate that Ah Ba passed by when Yu Wei recovered last winter, otherwise Yu Wei would not have recovered so quickly.

Just as they finished talking, they saw two people coming from the west, an old man in his sixties and a man in his forties. They both looked gentle, but their complexions did not look good and they were very thin. This made Li Xianglu think of those people who were sent to live in the cowshed.

After almost no greetings, several people opened the door and walked in. It was a standard two-story building. The old man said with a hint of emphasis in Minnan dialect: "This was built by a British architect before the liberation. The wood and materials used were very good. I won't boast that it will not break down in a hundred years, but seventy or eighty years is definitely not a problem."

There is a row of rooms upstairs and two staircases. The staircase inside is wooden, all made of mahogany, which is very precious. However, it seems that it is not well protected. There are scratches all over it, and so is the floor.

The stairs outside are on both sides and are made of marble. They are also very beautiful. There is also a house in the stairwell, which should be the servant's room.

The front and back of the yard are very spacious and close to the road. The backyard is not only large enough for a parking lot, but it is also easy to add a garden and a swimming pool. The front space is also not small.

At first sight, the old man was very satisfied and kept nodding his head. Li Xianglu also liked it very much. This place would be great to live in after a good rest. The residents said that their home was located three meters outside the courtyard wall, which was recorded on the property certificate. If they needed to, they could expand the courtyard wall and plant trees in the middle, so that the privacy of the house would be better.
