No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 920 Potter Manor
Before Christmas, the lawsuit was finally concluded. The compensation money was distributed according to the proportion. After the compensation was paid to each family, the remaining money was given to the Ministry of Magic to set up a new social welfare department to take care of the widows, widowers and orphans in the magic world.

This move also made the public not pay attention to who got the compensation. The point is that in the future, the Ministry of Magic will have a special agency to do social welfare work, instead of relying solely on those aristocratic families to get money, and then the Ministry of Magic will become the spokesperson for those aristocratic families.

This is what Ou Mengmeng needs. Otherwise, why would there be more? This is a lawsuit for compensation. There is no amount, only a share. However, Ou Mengmeng asked the lawyers to set a cap on the amount. After deducting the lawyers' fees, the excess will be given to the Ministry of Magic. In this way, the public's attention will turn to the money, and the focus will no longer be on the issue of Harry getting compensation.

Harry got the biggest sum, followed by Neville and Owen.

Harry thought at this moment that with this money, it would be enough to buy back his own manor. Ou Mengmeng was speechless. In fact, after Dumbledore finished the experiment for him, their first batch of income could be used to buy the manor. However, at that time, they were still in school and had no chance to go out. It happened to be the Christmas holiday, which was just right.

I got the address before, and I did some research. It's not too far from Godric's Hollow, which was originally the ancestral home of Gryffindor. As the Potter family has been Gryffindors for generations, they would not buy a manor too far away. If London is the center, Hogwarts is the northernmost part of the English Isles, and Potter Manor is in the south.

Of course, it was still some distance from London, so they simply went to their home in London through the fireplace, then took a plane to a nearby city, and then rented a minibus to go to the manor.

This time, Lupin, Sirius, Ginny, and Neville all followed. Neville got the compensation, and when old lady Augusta heard that Harry was going to buy back the manor of her ancestors, she thought about it and pushed her grandson over. Although they bought a house nearby, a manor was still more attractive.

Ginny just came here to have fun. Like Lupin, she really knew nothing about the Muggle world.

This time, there was a plane and a minibus, and even Sirius felt a little dumbfounded. He was like a silly boy from the countryside.

Neville seemed much calmer, because he went to primary school among Muggles and had some experience.

Draco and Hermione were studying the information about the manor.

The most pitiful one is Harry, because he can't take off his hat. In the wizarding world, it's okay to wear a wizard hat. But this is the Muggle world, and his hat is just like a nightcap. He can only cast a Confusion Charm on it, making people think it is a baseball cap. However, he still feels weird.

In the administrative district where the Potter Manor is located, there are only two manors and a small town. There are not many residents in the small town, and they used to rely on the manors for their livelihood.

However, both manors were bought by foreigners. As holiday resorts, they brought people here to hunt in the fall, pretending to be old nobles. So before, the manors might have planted some cash crops or raised some livestock. But after being sold to foreigners, all these were cancelled.

Here, we need people to help take care of the manor's internal affairs, as well as the main house and the garden near the main house. Other parts of the manor only need to be cleaned up by professional teams every year when they are ready to go hunting. After so many job opportunities were reduced all of a sudden, the young people in the town have left this place, and there are not many elderly people. After all, without land and job opportunities, the population cannot be retained.

"It's a nice place!" Draco said to Ou Mengmeng.

Ou Mengmeng nodded. There were only two manors and one small town in an administrative district, and the Muggle population was not large, so the possibility of it becoming a magical manor was greatly increased.

British ancient houses are like royal palaces. You can enter and visit them as long as you apply. Many nobles are also happy to do so. This is a great opportunity to show off their status.

The Porter Manor was bought by an Indian tycoon, who is also considered a British comprador class in India. They admire the superior country, otherwise, they would not have bought a manor on purpose and pretended to be aristocrats. In other words, they actually wanted to buy a small honor here, so that when they go back to India, they don’t need to mention their caste, but directly say that they are lords from the British Empire. Isn’t it very intimidating?
But they bought the house here, so far from London, which shows that they are not doing well. The richer they are, the closer they are to London. Because the land there is more expensive. The common point of places that wizards like is that they are desolate. The farther away from those Muggles, the better.

So they asked to visit the old house. The British butler politely invited them in, took them around the public areas on the first floor in a polite but distant manner, and even invited them to have tea in the living room.

Ou Mengmeng felt that the house was well maintained. The British butler seemed to be a professional, comparable to Kecheli. For example, when arranging tea and snacks, the butler also kept a close eye on the maid, and there could not be any mistakes.

A lot of expensive Indian decorations were added here. But the overall decorations were not changed. Of course, this information came from Sirius and Lupin. They often came here to play when they were young, and they were very familiar with this place. When James left, he only took a few things specified in the instructions. As for the family portraits, because they were prodigal sons, the family portraits ignored them, so just now, Harry also saw the portraits of their ancestors. Of course, this is a portrait that cannot be moved. Obviously, after the portrait is sold, there are also restrictions.

When Harry saw the portrait, he was ready to ask for the price, but Ou Mengmeng just held him down and took them to the neighbor, the Russian victim's house.

In the early 1990s, the richest people in the world, besides Japan, were Russia. So it was normal for them to have a big house here. They were all about buying, buying, buying. Moreover, they were different from Japan, who bought factories and commercial streets. They seemed to have little interest in this kind of manor. But maybe Russia was still in the white camp, so they loved to go to Britain, the old imperialist home, to spend money. It was mainly to show the presence of the West.

Ou Mengmeng took them to see that this side had been changed more. Obviously, this guy was more confident in his nation than Ah San, showing his taste for fighting nation. Ou Mengmeng really liked this gorgeous and tough feeling, especially the colorful paintings on the dome. She had seen them in Russian churches before, and they were so beautiful.

Neville began to look at it carefully. What he was thinking now was that he might not be able to afford it.

I found that I haven't read a paper book for a long time, and I want to buy a book
