Chapter 13 Bought a House and Bought a Person

East Street is the rich area in the town, and South Street has shops and a private school.

West Street is the street of Yong'an Hall, where you can buy everything. The first half of North Street has shops and a market. The second half is basically inhabited by the town's ruffians, who make a living by collecting so-called protection fees.

"How much silver is the manor for?"

"Young girl, do you want to buy it? The owner is in urgent need of getting rid of it, and eight hundred taels of silver can be done." The manager regretted it as soon as he mentioned the manor. In fact, he also wanted the manor, but when he thought of the people in North Street, he hesitated again.

Yu Wan thought, just buy the three-in-two manor on South Street and the manor on North Street, so as not to bother two owners.

It only cost 1,400 taels of silver to buy them all, and there was still 1,000 taels left.

Well, let's do it!

The manager didn't see Yu Wan's expression for a long time, and was about to get up and drive her away. After talking for a long time, his mouth was dry. Sure enough, the little girl was teasing him. He said, how could a little girl come to rent or buy a house.

At this time, Yu Wan said: "Manager, if I buy the three-in-two courtyard on South Street and the manor on North Street, are there any discounts?"

The manager, who was half-lifted, heard Yu Wan's question and hurriedly asked: "Little girl, you want to buy them all? Are you kidding?"

Yu Wan frowned. Why are people here so slow to sell things? Isn't buying and selling things just a matter of paying for goods? What's the point of asking so many questions?

Yu Wan was a little unhappy, "Yes, manager, what else do you have? Are you worried that I don't have money to give? Forget it if you don't want to sell."

Yu Wan got up and left. She used to buy things very conveniently. She could transfer money directly with a phone call. When did buying things become so troublesome?

"Oh, little girl, wait, I'll do it for you right away," the manager was anxious. This little girl has a bad temper. If she loses this business, she will regret it for half a year.

Yu Wan stopped and went back to sit down, "Manager, you need to tell me what you need to handle the sale. And I'm nine years old this year, can I have private property?"

She just remembered that their family was separated and did not get the household registration, and she was also a minor.

She just came and didn't understand the laws of the Great Yan Kingdom. It seems that after settling down, she still needs to learn more about these.

"Don't worry, little girl, the laws of the Great Yan Kingdom stipulate that the deed belongs to whoever's name is in whose hands. Of course, it will be filed in the county government and stamped with a big seal. It won't be of much use if someone else takes it. To change the name, the previous owner must come to the county government in person or file it in the county government in advance before the transfer can be processed." The manager said to Yu Wan patiently.

"Little girl, do you want to go and see those two places?" The manager asked kindly. The little girl must know that she could go and see the houses first.

Yu Wan shook her head. She didn't have the time to go to the United States, and she didn't have much money. If she got it done today, she could move in at night.

She had been out for an hour now, and she had to hurry back to Yong'an Hall.

The next thing was to pay the money to submit her identity information and get the key. The pawnbroker was responsible for going to the county government to handle the house deed.

"Manager, do you have anyone to sell here?" Yu Wan was thinking that their family needed someone to take care of them at the moment, and of course the slaves they bought were more useful than anything else. Here, in a legitimate pawnbroker like this, buying and selling people is legal.

"Yes, yes, yes, wait a minute, little girl, choose it yourself, just consider it a discount for you", the manager was thinking that the little girl didn't even bargain for a price or anything, so he gave her something, and this girl wanted someone, just right.

"Okay then," Yu Wan got up and went to the backyard with the steward. The steward clapped his hands, and then more than 30 men and women of all ages ran out from the rooms in the backyard and lined up in three rows.

Yu Wan saw the speed and arrangement, and it was obvious that they were always ready for the host to pick people.

The steward smiled and said, "Miss Yu, everyone is here, you can choose yourself."

Yu Wan nodded, and she stood on the steps and looked at the three rows of people below. Many of them were little girls in ordinary clothes, and they didn't think they were from a good family. Half of them lowered their heads.

Half of those who raised their heads had floating eyes and dull eyes, and Yu Wan ignored them.

There was a man and a woman in the front row, dressed neatly and with clear eyes. Yu Wan glanced at them, and they smiled slightly. The man had a gentle air, and the woman had a capable spirit.

The last row seemed to be a family of four, in their thirties, with a boy and a girl. The older boy was about the same age as Yu Haoyu, and the girl was about the same age as her. Their eyes were natural, their faces were sallow, they were thin, and their clothes were ragged but clean.

Yu Wan immediately pointed out the six people.

"Oh, Miss Yu is really good at choosing. These two were sent here two days ago. Their previous master's family moved to the capital, and they didn't want to go. Don't worry, Miss Yu, this man used to be the steward, and his wife is also a good hand." The steward pointed to the couple in the front row and said.

He said the other four: "This is a family, and it is also a miserable family. They were sold by the stepmother to her son to study and take the exam for the scholar, alas!"

Yu Wan couldn't help but look at the steward. When did the people who bought and sold people feel compassion for the world? This made her look up to the steward a little bit, and he was considered a person with a conscience.

"How much silver is their family?" She asked the steward.

The steward was a little surprised, "Miss Yu, just accept them. It didn't cost much silver when you bought them."

"Okay then", she didn't pretend, and led the six people out to the inner hall and asked them to wait.

The manager gave the deeds of sale of the six of them to Yu Wan: "Miss Yu, I will go to the county government office to handle the transfer of ownership later. You can come and get the house deed and land deed when you apply in the afternoon."

Yu Wan nodded, and then took out another ten taels of silver notes and gave it to the steward, "Take it, you need money to handle the transfer, right?"

"Hey, hey, Miss Yu is really a small person and is very happy to handle things. My surname is Zhang, please call me Manager Zhang. If you need anything from now on, Miss Yu, just come to me and I will take care of everything for you."

Manager Zhang is still feeling sorry for him for generously sending out six people, but how can he take back what he said? Wouldn't that be a slap in the face?

This girl Yu was really generous with her actions. Now the person was not at a loss, and the house seller made a huge profit. Hehe, Manager Zhang couldn't help but smile happily in his heart.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Yu Wan only had to come to collect the house deed and land deed in the afternoon, so she took six people to talk to Manager Zhang and went out.

After walking for a while, they happened to be in front of a clothing store not far away. Yu Wan saw six people following her as a little girl without saying a word or impatiently.

Yu Wan was very satisfied. She stopped, took out twenty taels of silver notes from the space and handed them to the couple. The man was Zhu Dagui and the woman was Li Guiying.
