"That's good news," Li Yong said after a moment of silence. "As far as I know, there is a house up for sale. The only thing is, the asking price is a bit steep, which is why it hasn't sold yet.
I'm just not sure if Brother Gu…"
After all, they had fled here as refugees, and Li Yong was afraid of embarrassing them by bringing it up.
From what Brother Gu had said, it sounded like he wanted to better his station, so Li Yong was all the more willing to build a good relationship.
"How much are they asking?" Gu Wenheng asked, his expression open. "If it's within our means and catches my wife's eye, we can certainly consider it."
"He's asking for one hundred taels. The courtyard itself isn't large, with just two main rooms and four side rooms. But the good thing is, it was rebuilt only a few years ago and has been meticulously cared for. It's practically new.
The house isn't far from here at all, just around that next corner. How about we go take a look now?"
