Chapter 270 Old Man Lu’s Family Property
Zhu Asheng took the car home. Yang Liu saw that it was already very late, so he bought a box lunch and went to the hospital.
Lin Zhiyu was sitting on a chair reading a book, and Old Man Lu was already asleep on the bed.
Yang Liu handed a lunch box to Lin Zhiyu.
"Where's Asheng?" Lin Zhiyu took the lunch box and asked before he saw Zhu Asheng coming.
"He went home." Yang Liu also brought the lunch box, and the two of them got up and prepared to eat outside. The air in the room was really hard to describe.
Yang Liu told him about buying clothes for him, and also told Lin Zhiyu that the landlady misunderstood her.
Lin Zhiyu smiled and said: "That woman thinks you have bad intentions. Besides, the locals are somewhat discriminatory towards people from other places!"
"Don't tell me, Zhu Asheng's money is really in our hands. I only gave him a hundred yuan today." Yang Liu asked hesitantly: "He has been outside for so many years, why did he only take a hundred yuan home?"
If it’s a little less, I’m afraid I won’t look good when I go home.”
"Don't think too much. No matter how much Zhu Asheng takes back, his family will never be satisfied. Isn't that why you were worried about this and asked him to change his clothes?"
"Yeah!" Yang Liu didn't know if he was too careful.
After eating for a while, she asked again: "What did the doctor say?"
"Not optimistic!" Lin Zhiyu sighed, but he was mentally prepared, so he was not too sad.
The next day, Old Man Lu felt better. After breakfast, he clamored to see his shop. Lin Zhiyu could only rent a wheelchair and took a taxi with Yang Liu to take him to the antique street.
To be honest, they had never heard the old man talk about the shop in so many years. They thought it was the shop he rented. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Old Man Lu's own property and was left by his ancestors.
It seems that another reason why he is anxious to come back is to deal with these things.
The dilapidated door of the shop was locked. Old Man Lu pulled out a chain from his neck with a key tied to it. He took it off and handed it to Lin Zhiyu.
Lin Zhiyu opened the door, and there was a musty and dusty smell in the room that had not been ventilated all year round!
"Don't come in yet, I'm going to open the window to ventilate it first!" Lin Zhiyu said to them, covering his mouth and nose.
There were not many old residents on this street, and they were all new people. The owner of the shop next door came out to take a look, and saw that the door was opened with a key, so he knew that this old resident had returned.
This man was a man in his thirties, and he came forward to chat with Yang Liu enthusiastically: "Are you back to open a shop?"
Yang Liu shook his head: "No, just come back and take a look!"
The man glanced at Yangliu, but he didn't expect that the beautiful woman in front of him had a very good attitude, so he smiled and said more enthusiastically: "Our street has been renovated, and the flow of people has increased. It's not cost-effective for your shop to be empty.
If you want to rent it out, I can help!"
Old Man Lu has no family. Even if he didn't tell Yang Liu, he would have guessed that this shop was going to be left to Lin Zhiyu. That involved the issue of managing the shop, not to mention that it was ancestral property and could not be sold. It could only be rented out.
So, she started chatting with the other party and asked how much the shop could be rented for.
Lin Zhiyu opened the doors and windows in the backyard, took a broom and swept away the cobwebs before walking out.
Before he even went out, he saw Old Man Lu leaving his wheelchair and standing alone under the eaves, stroking the carvings on the door. His eyes were filled with nostalgia and reluctance.
Immediately, he saw Yang Liu chatting happily with a man. He couldn't help but frown. He walked to the master in a few steps and reached out to help him: "Master, I just cleaned up a little. Let's go in!"
"Okay! It's been seven years and I'm back!"
Lin Zhiyu turned around and found that Yang Liu was still talking to the man, so he shouted to Yang Liu: "Yang Liu, come into the house!"
Hearing his voice, the man stopped talking. Obviously, this woman was already a famous woman, and she was not a simple person.
Yang Liu said goodbye to the man: "I won't bother you for now. I'll trouble you again when I need it!"
Lin Zhiyu also nodded politely to the other party and helped his master in.
The store had been smashed before, and Zhu Asheng came to clean it up briefly, but now it still looks in a mess.
Old Man Lu broke away from Lin Zhiyu's support and walked around slowly by himself, taking a closer look at the home that truly belonged to him. His cloudy eyes slowly became wet.
Lin Zhiyu stood in the middle of the room, staring at the master intently, afraid that he would fall, but he asked Yang Liu: "Who is that? Are you chatting so enthusiastically?"
"The owner of the shop next door, I would like to inquire about the situation around here." Yang Liu turned his head and looked around and answered casually.
After looking around, Old Man Lu was a little out of breath and said to Lin Zhiyu: "Help me go to the backyard, I have something for you."
Lin Zhiyu helped Old Lu go to the backyard. Yang Liu turned around and moved the wheelchair into the house, closed the door, and then went to the back.
There is a patio in the backyard, a total of three bedrooms, a kitchen, and a toilet, but they are basically unusable now. Light can already shine through between the tiles on the roof. The house is very dark, humid, and there is no electricity!
Old Man Lu walked to his old bedroom, which was fine and had not been disturbed.
He was so tired that Yang Liu wiped a stool and placed it by the window for him to sit down.
"Open the movable panel inside the bed. There are some things left behind by me!" After he took a breath, he directed Lin Zhiyu to get the things.
There is a hidden compartment inside the old-fashioned bed. It would be difficult for anyone to find it if Old Man Lu hadn't told him about it. Besides, it seems that no one would come to steal anything in this dilapidated house.
There is a lacquered wooden box in the secret room, which contains the deed of the house, and there is also a long tin box, which contains strings of agarwood beads wrapped in silk.
Yang Liu and Lin Zhiyu looked at each other and realized that this was the string they had taken from them.
Old Man Lu gave both of these things to Lin Zhiyu: "You should keep the deed of the house first. We will go through the transfer today. I'm afraid it will be troublesome for you to go through the transfer if I die! You can do whatever you want with this house! Also, this string of agarwood objects
Returning to the original owner, our fate can be regarded as beginning and ending."
These words were equivalent to giving last words. Lin Zhiyu and Yang Liu did not feel the joy of regaining their lost possessions, and silently closed the box. All words seemed extremely redundant at this time.
Old Man Lu pressed on the inner edge of the lacquered wooden box and opened the hidden compartment below.
Inside is a set of jadeite, which can be seen shining brightly even in the dark room.
Yang Liu and Lin Zhiyu's breath froze, and they both looked at Old Man Lu.
Old Man Lu touched the earrings, rings, jade hairpins, long necklaces, and palm-sized jade pendants one by one with great care!
"My mother gave it to me when she passed away. She said it was a family heirloom. It was supposed to be passed on to her daughter-in-law, but I didn't find a daughter-in-law for her. Now I'll pass it on to you!"
Yangliu waved his hands and refused, saying that this thing is the real treasure. Yangliu even felt flustered after accepting it!
"What? You don't like the old man's things?" Old Man Lu deliberately glared, but there was no anger in his eyes.
Lin Zhiyu picked up the box and put it in Yang Liu's hand. Yang Liu took it silently and looked down at the jade ornaments with mixed feelings in his heart. Their care for Old Man Lu in exchange for so many things was a bit too much!
But she still smiled and said: "How could I look down on it? I just feel a little unbearable. This thing is too expensive!"
"We are not relatives, but you have taken care of me for so many years. Am I not polite? I treat Lin Zhiyu as my son, and you are my daughter-in-law. This thing should be given to you, so keep it!"
Chapter completed!
