Li Zishi hesitated for a moment, but he could no longer suppress his smoking addiction. In the end, he said with tears and snot,"Alright, Young Master Yi, 600 yuan it is. I'll go get the deed!"
As he spoke, Li Zishi turned around and entered the house.
Yi Tianyang and the others were waiting outside.
After a while, the sound of an argument came from inside. In the midst of the argument, there was also a woman's voice.
As the voice came from inside, everyone heard it.
"Old Master Li, you can't sell this house. Where will you live after you sell it?”
"Get lost, you money-losing thing. I can sell my house if I want to. It's none of your business. If you don't behave yourself, I'll sell you to a brothel.”
"Old Master Li, Old Master Li…"
Yi Tianyang frowned and turned to look at Liu Fugui.
"Mister Yi, this woman is called Li Qingru, Li Zishi's adopted daughter.”
Seeing Yi Tianyang's gaze, Liu Fugui quickly explained,"
"Before the Li family was destroyed, it was quite good in this 36 Alley. This Li Qingru was adopted. She even went to school when she was young and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Two years ago, he even went to the West to study, so he was considered well-educated and reasonable.”
" Sigh, it's a pity to meet someone like Li Zishi…"
Liu Fugui was still sighing when two figures came out from inside.
A thin figure wearing a patched cotton jacket tugged at Li Zishi's sleeve and begged.
Yi Tianyang couldn't help but take a few more glances.
The little girl was pretty and had short hair that reached her ears. She looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old.
Although the cotton-padded jacket on her body was patched, it was very clean.
Perhaps it was because he had been malnourished for a long time, his body looked thinner than a normal person.
"Don't be so unreasonable here. Go find yourself a job. I've raised you for so many years. If I can't earn back a son, what's the use of having you?”
Li Zishi cursed.
"Mr. Yi, take a look. This is the deed to the house. If you don't have any questions, sign the deed.”
Liu Fugui, who was beside him, immediately walked forward.
They signed a contract for the transfer of the house.
"I'll give you 200 dollars first and write a contract for you. You can come to me within five days to get the rest.”
Yi Tianyang said indifferently.
He opened a bag he carried with him and took out two rolls of money from it, handing them to Li Zishi.
" Hey, hey, hey, Mr. Yi, that's not what you said just now. You're a big boss who's been overseas. Why are you still…"
Li Zishi was dumbfounded.
He did not expect such a mishap to happen.
Although Liu Fugui was surprised, he still spoke up to help Yi Tianyang."
"I say, High Scholar Li, the residence is right here. Mr. Yi has written an IOU for you in black and white, so how could he not have something like this? Just now, Mr. Yi sold a foreign watch to the French Consul for 1000 dollars. How could he miss out on you?”
"Uh…"
In just a short while, this news had already spread.
"Alright then!"
Since he already had the money for cigarettes, Li Zishi couldn't care about anything else.
After counting the books, he took off a rag and hugged it.
Yi Tianyang took a pen and paper from Liu Fugui and wrote an IOU for Li Zishi.
Recalling how Yi Tianyang had looked at Li Qingru earlier, Li Zishi asked fawningly,"
"Mr. Yi, I saw that you just came back from abroad and don't have a maid or servant to warm the house. I wonder if you want to buy one? Qingru, if you want it, I'll give you the indwelling contract for 50…no, 20!”
After hearing Li Zishi's words, what happened to the little girl?
It was as if he had never expected that he would encounter such an encounter.
"No, I'm not a commodity. I don't want to be sold.”
After regaining her senses, Li Qingru began to resist.
Yi Tianyang thought about it. At that time, there would really be one less person who was familiar with this place and could be ordered around.
Moreover, this little girl looked very comfortable.
"Make your own decision, but it's not a short answer question. It's a multiple choice question. One is to follow me and stay here in the future. Perhaps she will be a servant or a greenhouse maid in the future, or she will be able to do something with my support.”
" The other option is to not follow me. You might become an improved young woman in the future, but a slave contract is definitely useful. Perhaps when your father runs out of money, you'll be sold into a brothel or become someone's concubine.”
Yi Tianyang analyzed calmly.
Although Li Qingru said that the other party was just scaring her, she was already at a loss.
Hearing Yi Tianyang's words, Li Zishi knew that he had this intention.
At this moment, he had already come out of the house, holding Li Qingru's indwelling contract in his hand.
Yi Tianyang opened the box, took out another 20 yuan, and threw it to Li Zishi.
A few pieces fell to the ground. Li Zishi bent down and picked them up. He took out five pieces of silver and stuffed them into Liu Fugui's bag. He then left in a hurry.
Yi Tianyang also took out five yuan and handed it to Liu Fugui.
Liu Fugui smiled and thanked Yi Tianyang. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Yi Tianyang, he left.
There were only three people left in the courtyard.

! A ticket! He begged for everything!
