Chapter 43: Seclusion Grain Pill
Song Shuhang took Medicine Master around Auspicious Street, and they looked at dozens of different houses. It was a pity that there wasn’t a single one that Medicine Master would give a pa.s.sing mark to. Song Shuhang didn’t know what kind of house Medicine Master was specifically looking for, either.
“If it’s really not possible to find one this close to the university, then let’s walk around the other districts,” Song Shuhang thought.
At this moment, Medicine Master had finally discovered a house that satisfied him.
That was a brand new house, a three-room-style mansion with five floors inclusive of a fence and front and back yards. The design was intricate and with a glance, one could tell that plenty of heart and effort had gone into decorating it.
It’s a good house!
However, this house didn’t seem to be up for rent!
“This is it, let’s rent this house!” Medicine Master heartily laughed.
“Please wait, Senior, this house isn’t up for rent, this is someone’s private property.” Song Shuhang called out.
But Medicine Master simply wouldn’t listen to his explanation, he laughed as he dragged Song Shuhang up to the house, and pressed on the doorbell.
“Coming!” A rough and deep voice sounded.
Very soon after, the door opened, and a bald and plump middle aged man popped out and looked towards Song Shuhang and Medicine Master.
He stared at Medicine Master’s mohawk hairdo for a long while, and doubtfully inquired, “Delivery?”
“No, we want to rent this house,” Medicine Master got straight to the point.
The middle-aged man stiffened as the corners of his mouth twitched. But he still politely replied, “I’m sorry, but my family members are living in this house. Also, my family doesn’t really like to live with strangers so I have no plans to rent it out.”
“You don’t like to live with strangers? That’s fantastic!” Medicine Master joyfully replied, “Me too! I don’t like to live with strangers under the same roof either. So, how about you all move out and rent the entire building to me? Just name your rental price, I will definitely not bargain with you!”
Medicine Master’s words feels were very spank-worthy. Song Shuhang covered his face– forcing the house’s owner to move out, then renting the house from him? Wouldn’t that mean the house’s owner would have to sleep on the streets? With such a spank-worthy method of requesting to rent, how could it possible to rent the house?
As expected, veins bulged on the forehead of the uncle who owned the house. Without any warmth on his face, he said, “I am sorry but I’m not lacking any money so I will not be renting the house. Please find another house somewhere else, goodbye.”
To be able to endure even at such a time, this meant that the uncle who owned the house was a gentleman with good upbringing. If Shuhang was in his shoes, he felt that he definitely wouldn’t have been able to endure it, at the very least he would have to scold him for being a r.e.t.a.r.d or something!
“Hey, please consider again! Money really isn’t an issue!” Medicine Master still did not want to give up.
In his mind, Song Shuhang could already see the uncle explode in a rage and chase them away. He hurriedly grabbed Medicine Master, preparing to forcefully drag this Senior away.
……
……
Through some unimaginable means, eventually Medicine Master and Song Shuhang moved into this three-room-style five story house.
“Oh wow, sure enough a standalone house fits the bill, the size is also just right. After breaking down all the walls on one floor it could become a good pill refining room!” Medicine Master toured around the house floor by floor while nodding in a satisfied manner.
“But, all we initially needed was to rent a single room,” Song Shuhang grumbled.
In the mortal world, everything has a price. For items that you cannot buy, most of the time it wasn’t that the items could not be sold but rather, you did not own enough funds.
The same goes for this house with five floors and three rooms per floor.
Even if the owner had put in a lot of effort to have it made for him and his family to stay in, once Medicine Master made an irresistible offer… the middle-aged uncle who was angry to the point where he had his veins bulging out and was in a mood to fight had his face change like a mask performance in a Beijing Opera, instantly changing from stormy clouds to starry skies.
After that, the uncle very happily handed over the contract for the house and the land, the keys to the gate and front door, as well as decided on a date he would sign the papers with Medicine Master for the transfer.
After after that, the uncle’s whole family moved out in a span of two hours. Their efficiency was amazing!
That’s right, it was bought.
