3. The Eternal Mystery

Takasaki asked for leave, but it wasn't really because his friend got married and went to help.

In the last life, my wife followed him and never had a day of happiness.

I don’t have money to buy a house, and the salary in the factory is not high.

If you want to buy a house, you have to squeeze money out from your teeth.

My wife gave him almost all the delicious food and oily food, and she only had steamed buns and pickles at noon.

"You are a repairman who consumes a lot of energy and must ensure nutrition. I am not tired from working as a grinder. Besides, I have to lose weight, so that pickles and steamed buns will not grow meat."

My wife's words have been lingering in his mind for many years.

My wife is not fat at all. Not only is she not fat, but she is also a little thin.

In order to buy that house, my wife became thinner in the year and even lost her body curve.

Takasaki felt heartbroken.

However, the wife is strong and she doesn’t even have a house after getting married, so she can’t stand her face.

They finally got a house, then they renovated and purchased furniture.

I still have no money, and I still have to squeeze through my teeth.

Finally, home is becoming more and more like a home. They have the ability to have children, but their wives are always unable to get pregnant.

My wife is a little malnourished and the doctor suspects that she has anorexia.

That day, they went to the hospital for a follow-up examination.

As a result, my wife never came back.

In this life, he can no longer let his wife suffer such great grievances.

He must be rich, let his wife live happily and happily for the rest of his life.

When they got married, they had no money to buy a house, so they rented a house in a small town on the outskirts of the city.

The house was a cross-yard east house and the landlord lived in the south house.

This is an old house that has been around for hundreds of years, and the rent is relatively cheap.

It is said that the house is so big, all of which belong to a wealthy family back then.

This wealthy family has been officials since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. After two or three dynasties, they are all richest people in a radius of hundreds of miles. If they don’t say they are rich, they will reach the country. It is said that there is no problem to catch up with this Tang city.

After the new society, due to various reasons, this family declined. Those who died and those who left were no longer living here. The huge houses were all distributed to the residents of the town.

In 2012, the city was renovated and commercial residential buildings were built.

When digging the foundation, a cellar was dug out under a family's residence.

In the cellar, there is a large tank of silver dollars, which is more than 100,000 yuan.

This news caused a sensation in the entire Tangcheng at that time.

At that time, Takasaki had become an alcoholic.

He was drinking at home at night and watching TV news, he saw this news.

He suddenly recognized the cellar where he and his wife rented a house and entered the side room in the yard.

Many of the houses in small towns in the old days had yards.

To go to the yard inside, you have to pass through the yard where Gaoqi rented a house.

There is no separate way outside the yard.

This is probably because this residence originally belongs to a family.

He clearly remembered that the one who entered the yard behind was a middle-aged teacher who taught Chinese classes in the primary school in the town.

The school built a teacher dormitory building, and the teacher's family had moved to the dormitory building long ago. They did not live here. They just came to see if the house was damaged or leaked.

When he and his wife came to rent a house, they happened to catch the middle-aged teacher back.

"What other house should I rent? You can just buy my yard. It's not expensive, I'll sell it for three thousand."

At that time, many factories were asking workers to invest and implement shareholding transformation.

However, the Tangcheng measuring gauge did not execute.

But when he said he wanted to invest, Gao Qi's mother had no doubts. She went to the bank and gave all the money in her family to Gao Qi.

Of course, Gao Qi's father would not object, as they had already paid the money to invest in the factory.

Holding the three thousand dollars he gave to him, Gao Qi did not return to the factory, but went straight to the primary school in the town to find a middle-aged teacher and wanted to buy his yard.

The primary school teacher also found it strange that he had not posted a notice to sell the house. Why did this young man know that he was going to sell the house first?

"How did you know I was going to sell a house?" he asked Takasaki.

Only then did Takasaki realize that he had forgotten something.

In this life, he did not know this teacher, nor should he know that he was going to sell a house.

"I heard from my colleagues in the factory." He was not good at lying, and the reason he said was a bit far-fetched.

What if the teacher asks the bottom line and asks him what his colleague said and what his name is? He really doesn't know how to answer.

Fortunately, the teacher did tell others that he asked him to find out if anyone wanted a house.

Perhaps this young man found out from a friend who had heard about this.

He didn't ask carefully, and wanted to take Takasaki to the small courtyard of his hometown to see the house.

"No need, I've seen the house, it's quite suitable," Takasaki said.

He was anxious to buy the yard, and his mood was overwhelming.

Fortunately, people's thoughts at that time were far less complicated than they are now, and their awareness of prevention was not strong.

Otherwise, the teacher would immediately suspect that he had ulterior motives in buying a house.

Fortunately, he also knew how to bargain, and if he didn't have a teacher, he would give him three thousand.

The ability to bargain is to learn to follow your wife to go to the market to buy things.

They are poor, no matter what they buy, they have to buy the cheapest ones and keep the price to the lowest level.

Over time, his wife learned the ability to bargain, and Takasaki followed and benefited a lot.

"Teacher, I don't have that much money, I only have 2,500 yuan in my hand. Look, can you be cheaper?"

When the two of them negotiated the price, he said.

Although the bargaining performance was a bit inferior, his sincere and honest look still made the teacher feel that he was telling the truth.

"Oh, this price is a bit too cheap. Otherwise, you can borrow it with a friend?" The teacher discussed with him.

In fact, in that era when the house was not valuable, the teacher could not even sell the yard for two thousand yuan, and he knew it.

When he fooled Takasaki and his wife to buy it for three thousand yuan, he was also a little silly and a little honest in his wife, which made him confused.

"I really can't borrow it." Takasaki said, "I still borrowed some of these 2,000-500 yuan from my friend, so I really can't borrow it. If I had money, I wouldn't buy this house, it would be too dilapidated."

In the end, the house was sold for 2,500 yuan. The two of them went to the town housing management office to change the owner's name, and the matter was completed.

At that time, the transfer of houses was very simple, and there were no more complicated procedures such as charging a few percent handling fee.

The yard is very small, with two main houses, each of which is only more than ten square meters. The side room on the west side is used for kitchens, with only one.

Judging from this, this yard may have been the place where the wealthy family lived for the servants.

And that cellar is built on the ground in a side house.

Why did the owner choose such a place to save such a large tank of silver dollars? What kind of story is hidden in this cellar? It will always become a mystery.
