No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 923: Do You Feel Better?

At this time, Sirius finally came in. The old lady saw her eldest son, and then said, "Beast! Bitch! Dirty and sinful bastard! Prodigal son, shame of the family, the bastard I gave birth to!"

The old lady who was originally elegant now looked angry, jumping up and down and cursing in the portrait. The portrait, which was originally calm and noble, had a violent rise and fall in the chest and a pale face. The problem was that there was no big curtain here. There was no way to make her stop.

Lupin immediately pushed Sirius out the door and closed it.

The old lady finally breathed a sigh of relief, took out the small scroll and pressed the corner of her mouth, then nodded weakly to Harry and the others, "Sorry! Dear Harry."

"It's okay. If you feel more comfortable, you can do whatever you want." Harry waved his hands. What could he say when a mother scolded her son? He was a little envious. It would be great if his mother could leave a portrait. In this way, he would also be a child scolded by his mother.

At dinner, in the same restaurant as before. Everything was the same, but the wall covering had changed, and it seemed like everything was different all of a sudden.

Old Kechery prepared a sumptuous dinner, with a roaring fire on the fireplace. The exquisite tableware and the bouquets on the table all showed Old Kechery's requirements for the quality of aristocratic life.

"My dear, are you sure you want to buy the manor?" Sirius had recovered from his mother's curse and looked at Harry who was sitting in the master seat.

"Yes!" Harry nodded, but turned to Ou Mengmeng, "Penny, what did you mean by stopping me at that time?"

"No one buys houses on Christmas, let them enjoy the holiday!" Ou Mengmeng casually took a sip of juice and smiled at Keqili, "It's great to have such fresh grape juice in winter."

"I saved a lot of grapes in the fall." Kechery was a little shy. He was not sure what Harry liked, after all, Harry had not eaten many good things. But Miss "Penny" was very clear about what she liked, so in the fall, he went to Malfoy Manor to pick fresh grapes and saved them well. Now when he squeezed the juice, it was very fresh grape juice.

"My dear, you are so considerate." Ou Mengmeng smiled and hugged Kechery. Now the elves of Hogwarts can be hired, but she still likes to tease Kechery and Dobby. One of them is arrogant and the other is shy, and it really works every time.

"Hey, Penny!" Draco was speechless. He didn't believe that she didn't allow him to reveal it just because no one bought a house for Christmas. He thought, "Do you want to check it again?"

"As you can see, these two houses are very well preserved. Potter Manor also has a British butler who is professional and attentive. At least so far, they have not thought about selling the house. If Harry wants to buy it now, he will have to pay a high price, and I don't want to alert the enemy." Ou Mengmeng nodded and said casually.

At this moment, everyone remembered that they were only visiting and were treated to afternoon tea, which showed the pride of the family in the old house. If they were so proud, why would they buy anything else? No matter what, the Indian tycoon must be richer than Harry.

Neville didn't care. He definitely couldn't buy Potter Manor. As for the Russian sucker, after seeing it, he felt that he couldn't afford it, so he didn't take it to heart. He was very focused on eating the delicious food made by Kechery.

"Then you're not going to buy it?" Harry said a little sadly. "Of course not, I think it's a nice place, very suitable for turning into a magic manor." Ou Mengmeng looked at Draco.

"Yes, it's a great place." Draco had seen a Muggle map before, and the place was no smaller than their Malfoy Manor. Moreover, he believed that the people who had inherited the potion from generation to generation might have hidden medicine fields in the woods. These places could not be found by Muggles, and they might have been abandoned over the years, but some of the plants that had been planted for many years might have better harvests. These were invisible wealth. Of course, now that Harry had a patent, he could spend money without any effort, and he didn't care about this. But it was always painful to see them abandoned.

"Then think about it the other way around. They bought this place to pretend to be nobles. So we have to think about how to make people feel that this place is not suitable for nobles to live in." Ou Mengmeng nodded. The two foreigners bought this manor to show their strength. But the location is not good. They have to fly and transfer to get there from London. Of course, it is not impossible to have a private jet. But obviously, they don't. They bought this place at the beginning, but their strength was limited to this.

Draco understood and nodded and continued eating.

"Isn't this a bit bad?" Hermione still has a sense of justice. This feels a bit like the underworld forcing people to sell their houses.

"Don't worry, I'll buy it at the original price plus 10%." Ou Mengmeng nodded and said casually.

"Inflation is more than 10%, right?" Drake couldn't help but complain.

"There's nothing we can do. I can't pay according to the currency. How should I put it? It's like we let them live here for free for twelve years, and I paid them 10% interest on the deposit. Do you think it will make you feel better if you put it this way?" Ou Mengmeng spread her hands.

"Much better!" Hermione nodded.

"To be honest, every time this happens, I feel like a fool." Ginny couldn't help but speak. She could come up with such a reason, and she really felt that she might rack her brains and still not be able to come up with this reason.

"You are not alone." Neville almost stuffed meat into his nose and couldn't help but say to Ginny.

Ou Mengmeng rolled her eyes at them. Malfoy Manor is located much closer to London. It is a large ancestral estate. Their family is in the British royal family and is also a traditional noble title. This is the family's confidence! Potter Manor is different. It is a little far from London, which means it is a little far from the traditional aristocratic circle. For such a large manor, the appreciation rate is actually very low.

The Potter family's estate, which was traditional agricultural land from the Middle Ages, had nothing to do with the nobility. The old house was several levels lower than the palace-style buildings of the Malfoy family. So the difference between this kind of house and the house with a noble title was not a little bit. This difference was reflected in the price.

After World War II, many nobles went bankrupt, and many of the noble industries in the villages were bought by the emerging businessmen and factory owners. After the 1980s, many European castles were sold for zero yuan because they were protected by the state and the owners were unable to maintain them.

The reason why a property like Potter Manor can be sold at a high price is that it was well maintained, has a history, and has vast land. Although maintenance costs money, the initial investment is not large. However, it is still a little lacking in appreciation. Unless the new owner can buy a title from the royal family and let the royal family regard this piece of land as his fiefdom, then the property will appreciate in value. And they can't do this either.

A colleague in the office has recently taken several days off for family matters. She started complaining when she went to work today. It turned out that her child was almost two years old. Before the birth, her husband's family and her parents' family agreed that each of them would take a few days. But there were always various things going on at her mother-in-law's house, so she couldn't take care of the child, so the child was taken care of by her grandmother most of the time. If the parents-in-law were sensible and said something nice, the matter would have passed. But the parents-in-law were not so worry-free. They made her mother angry and she stopped coming. The colleague's husband had no choice but to discuss with the parents-in-law about what they were going to do. The parents-in-law actually didn't want to take care of the child. They didn't want to take turns for a day. When they were arguing with their son, they told him the truth, meaning that the son was yours, and it had nothing to do with us old people. The son nodded and said okay, then don't take care of him. He went home and begged his mother-in-law, saying that the child would be taken care of by you alone in the future, and you didn't have to show them anything, and you would treat them as bullshit. The parents-in-law had three daughters before they had one son, but they didn't treat their son well since he was a child. The colleague's husband always felt that his family was very poor since he was a child, so he worked very hard and tried not to spend a penny of his parents' money. But in this way, his relationship with his parents is very dull. He is relatively objective about the problems between his parents and his wife. So this time, my colleague didn’t win either. She is an only child, and her parents are trying to help her because they love her. In fact, it is also very tiring. I don’t understand my colleague’s parents-in-law. They had a son after the fourth child, and now they have an only grandson, but they don’t pay for it and don’t want to see it. They are also picky about the mother-in-law. Is this the rhythm of breaking up?
