Chapter 50

Anzi smiled and went over to sit on the cushion. Zhang Zhaonian immediately put up a white banner with the words "Divine Fortune Teller" written on it.

Lu Jun stood beside Wang Po, not far from An Zi, and was always alert to his surroundings.

As soon as Anzi sat down, Lao Gao came to the front with a smile on his face like a chrysanthemum.

"Little Master, I would like you to help me take care of my four useless grandsons."

My son is basically like that, my grandson is more important.

"Okay, come one by one." An Zi gathered his sleeves and spoke softly.

After being busy for the whole morning, they went looking for a restaurant to eat, and finally went to the three courtyards that Lu Jun had inquired about.

Anzi was very satisfied with all three courtyards. The courtyard at the first entrance was extremely exquisite and had basically not been damaged. One could even move in there directly after cleaning. The courtyard at the third entrance was the largest and had been the most damaged. The courtyard at the second entrance was between the first and third entrances.

In the end, it was Wang Po who made the decision after asking about the price and asked for the first and third courtyards. Zhang Zhaonian waved his hand and took the second courtyard.

Anyway, he wants to follow his master. He will go wherever his master goes and buy a house wherever his master buys a house.

Unexpectedly, the price of the yard was lower than Wang Po had imagined, but the renovation work would cost a lot of money, which made her feel a little painful. Besides, they would not come here often in the future, so they would have to hire someone to maintain it.

Anzi had already planned for this, and she handed the task to Lu Jun. She believed that he could handle it.

Sure enough, Lu Jun recommended his comrade-in-arms Xu Wenbing to her.

Xu Wenbing broke a leg while on a mission. Two days after he returned from the army, his wife stole the family's money and ran off with someone she had hooked up with. He was left with his mother in her 50s and his four-year-old daughter to live a hard life.

His home is nearby, and the reason why Lu Jun was able to find these three yards for sale was because of his connections.

When I heard Anzi said he wanted to hire someone to take care of the yard he bought, I immediately recommended Xu Wenbing.

Anzi had no objection. His only request was that Xu Wenbing be responsible for finding someone to repair the yard. Of course, the cost of repairing the yard and Xu Wenbing's salary were not a problem at all.

After dealing with these problems, when Wang Po and the others went to interview Xu Wenbing, Anzi sneaked back to the entrance courtyard.

When she was looking at the house, she found something buried under the wall. Now that no one was around, she dug it out and took it away.

She was not mistaken, there were indeed two large wooden boxes buried underneath. Anzi didn't have time to open them and directly put them into the space.

After covering the dirt, she washed her hands and body in the space, and went to Xu Wenbing's house casually.

Xu Wenbing's house is at the innermost end of Huaihua Hutong, less than 100 meters away from the courtyard. The house is not big, but it is very clean, but it inexplicably reveals a sense of poverty.

When she arrived, Wang Po's interview was already coming to an end, and only Anzi was left to come and confirm it.

Anzi took a close look at the faces of Xu Wenbing's family. They looked ordinary, but fortunately they were all relatively honest. However, they all looked pale and thin, and it was obvious that they were not living a good life. The girl, who was the same age as her, could hardly speak.

Seeing Anzi nodded, Wang Po happily counted out 1000 yuan from her cloth bag and placed it on the tattered wooden table.

The Hong Kong currency is different from the money used in Kyoto, so Wang Po paid with the currency here.

"This is my annual salary for next year. Please help me find a team to repair the house these two days, and then give me the money."

Xu Wenbing looked at Lu Jun reflexively, and only after seeing Lu Jun's affirmative eyes did he bow to Wang Po, his voice choking a little as he spoke, "Don't worry, I will definitely get it done for you."

Grandma Wang waved her hand and took out a handful of fruit candies she had bought for Anzi from her bag and put them on the table, "Give the little girl some sweetness." Xu Wenbing's daughter was called Xu Chunya. She was dark and thin, with sparse hair tied into two pigtails, and her clothes were gray and patched. She looked even worse than Anzi before, and it made people feel sorry for her.

Xu Wenbing wanted to refuse, but when he saw Xu Chunya drooling over the fruit candy, he swallowed his words.

Xu Chunya is the same age as Anzi, but Xu Chunya is three months older than Anzi. When the two children stand together, the contrast is truly tragic.

One is fair and tender, with red lips and white teeth, and a clever look in her eyes; the other is dark and thin, like a bean sprout, and exudes timidity all over.

Xu Wenbing sighed in his heart. He thought he was useless. He couldn't keep his wife and his daughter suffered.

After signing the contract, the four people politely declined Xu Wenbing's mother's request for dinner and left Huaihua Hutong.

Not long after coming out, Lu Jun whispered to An Zi and thanked him.

Anzi knew what he was thanking her for, and smiled indifferently. When Wang Po and Zhang Zhaonian were not paying attention, she stuffed a few hundred yuan into his pocket as errand fee. She knew that he probably had no money on him now.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day for Ruan Fanghua to return to Ruan Fang to share the money.

Anzi got up early as an exception, packed everything up neatly with Wang Po, and got into the car arranged by the Ruan family to pick them up.

The Ruan family's house is located in a villa area on the outskirts of Beijing and covers a large area. When Anzi and his friends arrived, the people in charge of the first and second branches of the Ruan family had already arrived.

The reason for choosing this time to divide the property is because Mr. Ruan is dying, and the matter must be settled before he passes away.

Before coming, Anzi learned about the Ruan family from Ruan Fanghua.

The first and second wives were born to Mr. Ruan’s first wife, and Superintendent Ruan was the third wife, born to his second wife.

After Superintendent Ruan's mother passed away, he was ostracized and framed by his first and second wives, so he went to Hong Kong alone to work hard.

When Ruan Fanghua came back this time, the Ruan family's property was secondary, her main purpose was to get her grandmother's dowry.

However, the Ruan family originally had an ordinary financial situation, and they became rich thanks to their second wife. It is unlikely that Ruan Fanghua will be able to get her dowry back.

Of course, Anzi doesn't think so.

She raised her head and narrowed her eyes slightly at the negative energy hovering above the villa.

Superintendent Ruan said that 30% of the things that were retrieved could be given to her, and that the Ruan family had to give the dowry today whether they wanted to or not.

There were servants waiting to receive them at the entrance of the villa. As soon as Anzi and his party followed Ruan Fanghua to the gate, they were respectfully invited into the villa.

As soon as I entered the hall, a slightly vicissitudes of life voice sounded, "This is Fanghua, you have grown so big in the blink of an eye."

Anzi looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man in his early fifties who was dressed simply.

Ruan Fanghua was the first to greet, calling him "Uncle", then turned to look at another man who was only a few years younger than this man, "Second Uncle".

Inspector Ran called someone and refused to say another word. Ruan Fanghua also had no intention of introducing Anzi and his group to them.

Although Zhang Zhaonian is quite outgoing, he was very disdainful after hearing about what the first and second branches of the Ruan family did, so today he transformed himself into a gourd with a sawed mouth.

Lu Jun was not a talkative person to begin with, and Wang Po was even less talkative. She knew very well that talking too much would lead to more mistakes, so she just held An Zi's hand tightly and didn't even look at the two of them.
