My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s

Chapter 217: Chapter 210 Rising Prices from the Ground

One hundred and twenty thousand? Tang Yuxin estimated this price in her mind and thought about it in the context of the future. Even the most ordinary location would far exceed its actual worth, let alone such a large quadrangle with a touch of antiquity.

Tang Zhinian hesitated. Over the past six months, he had been very careful with his spending and had saved just over one hundred thousand yuan. Would he really have to spend all of this?

Tang Yuxin wanted it very much, but she didn’t want to force Tang Zhinian. If he didn’t want to buy it, then that’s fine, she would find another way later.

Her little eyes filled with longing, as if to say, let’s buy it, let’s buy it.

Tang Zhinian clenched his teeth and then lifted his face and finally spoke.

“Excuse me, sir, we’d like to look at the house.”

“Alright,” the middle-aged man moved aside, “In that case, you folks come on in.”

Tang Zhinian and Tang Yuxin then entered. It was a small quadrangle courtyard; the owner had left all the antiques, and now the middle-aged keeper of the house was moving away to live with his son and had to sell the place.

The owner when leaving had meant for the house to be sold if he never returned, hoping it would fall into good hands.

This middle-aged man had only one request: after the buyer sold the house, they must not destroy anything in it. The remaining antiques and artifacts were witnesses of history from a particular era.

Tang Yuxin agreed. After all, such a quadrangle was really expensive, and the cost of maintaining the place was by no means small.

The check was ready to be handed over, but they ended up dealing instead with the man’s son, and he insisted on raising the price to one hundred and fifty thousand.

There was outrage at the sudden price hike, and Tang Zhinian, irritated, turned on his heel and walked away. The house they thought was theirs vanished in a dispute.

Tang Yuxin’s heart ached a little, but seeing her fuming father walking ahead, she held her tongue.

She thought, her dream of owning a quadrangle had indeed been shattered.

No matter, she didn’t manage to buy it so she’ll just have to consider other options.

But after looking at several houses, either because the small quadrangle had already captured their hearts, or because they were upset about the unexpected price hike, they couldn’t find a better option. Now Tang Yuxin no longer wished to look any further.

Dad, let’s not buy. We can come back again later.

Tang Yuxin relayed her decision to Tang Zhinian during dinner.

Tang Zhinian, too, agreed that they should wait, and he stopped looking for a house.

The father and daughter enjoyed a heaping meal of authentic Beijing cuisine and their spirits lifted.

They stayed in Beijing for a few more days, sightseeing. After wandering around Beijing for several days, Tang Yuxin didn’t want to leave, but Tang Zhinian took a day on his own, returning in an extremely good mood and apparently no longer upset about the price negotiation.

When it was time to leave, Tang Zhinian suddenly wanted to visit the local universities to get a better understanding of what they were like. That way, when his daughter eventually attended one, he would know his way around.

“Dad, I want to go to this school,” Tang Yuxin pointed at the main gate of Beijing University, “I will definitely study here in the future. It’s one of the best schools in the country, and its medical department is very famous.

More importantly, it was a school she had failed to get into in her previous life.

In her previous life, she had regrets that she would reclaim in this life.

Life would only be complete without any regrets. Even though everyone has regrets, not everyone manages to complete them. Imperfections are also considered beautiful, but her imperfect beauties were painful.

“Okay, good,” Tang Zhinian also liked this school, “Perhaps in the future, I will start a business here, cook for Yuxin, and keep those bratty boys away from my daughter.”

“Thank you, Dad,” Tang Yuxin hugged Tang Zhinian’s arm, thinking to herself that children with fathers like him were indeed treasures, while those with mothers like hers turned out like little cabbages.

Tang Zhinian looked around, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, perhaps deep in thought.

After a long day of activities, Tang Yuxin went back to the inn and fell asleep. When she woke up, her dad was gone and didn’t return until it was almost dark. His cheerful demeanor made her wonder what good news he had encountered.

It’s nothing, I just took a walk around the old Imperial City. In the past, we commoners would not have been able to come here.

Tang Zhinian was still cheerful, as if in a great mood. Even though they hadn’t managed to buy a house, they had still seen a lot of Beijing and the trip felt worthwhile.

It was time to return home. His brother Tang Zhijun was all alone in the south, and he couldn’t manage the business there without Tang Zhinian’s help. So Tang Zhinian decided to take Zhang Xiangcao and Sisi along with him, to give them a glimpse of the southern region and broaden their horizons.

As for Tang Yuxin, she didn’t accompany them.

She finally convinced Tang Zhinian to let her stay home alone. She still needed to go up to the mountains to pick herbs, and Chen Lidong and Xu Miaomiao had to review their third-year courses together.

Tang Zhinian was, of course, worried about leaving her all alone. But in the end, education is something that shouldn’t be delayed.

Fortunately, Xu Miaomiao and Chen Lidong seemed dependable enough, and their house was well stocked. The worst it could get would be occasionally skipping meals, but she would certainly not starve.
