A Western Doctor's Happy Farming Life

Chapter 81: A Strange House

Translator: LiamHW

Song Qinghan and Wu Dahu stared at each other and then walked into the yard together.

If the house was really quite nice as the owner described, then why would he be all anxiety to sell his house? So though Song Qinghan and Wu Dahu thought that it was quite nice so far, they kept silent temporarily.

The owner of the house noticed that the two of them were both silent while they were all looking around, and then he was all anxiety to ask tentatively, “How is it? I didn’t lie to you, right? This is a really good house, if it isn’t because that we will relocate in the state capital, I won’t sell it at all.”

Song Qinghan raised his eyebrows, saying, “Even though you are planning to go to the state capital, that doesn’t mean that you will never have a chance to come back. Why would you sell such a good house?”

“Besides,” Wu Dahu interrupted, echoing, “Since you’re quite mighty to support your family relocating to the state capital. Keeping a house property here isn’t a bad idea. It will be such a wasteful thing to sell it, isn’t it?”

The owner of the yard was stunned by their endless questions while he was being quite irritated and annoyed all of a sudden, he murmured but suddenly he got his eyes wide opened, spluttering mercilessly at the two, “What the heck are you guys talking about? If you don’t even intend to buy, just leave here. DON’T WASTE MY TIME!”

With confidence, Wu Dahu took out several pieces of silver drafts in his pocket, and then responded calmly, “Well, we just brought our sincerity here with you. But we haven’t seen your sincerity yet. Since you’re not that kind of sincere in this deal, we won’t bother you now. So goodbye.”

After that, he turned back to the door with Song Qinghan, seemingly ready to step out and leave.

Right at the moment when Wu Dahu almost reached the door, the owner of the house got his face sullen suddenly, while shouting to the two with an emotional combination of regret and annoyance, “Wait! Wait a minute! I will confess, I will confess everything to you.”

Wu Dahu didn’t even move his feet. He turned around facing the owner of the house and raising his eyebrows, saying, “What do you mean? Confess what?”

The owner sighed deeply, mumbling, “I will confess to you the reason why I sell this house.”

Hearing that, Wu Dahu finally came to a great satisfaction, and then he nodded, motioning the owner of the house to continue, “Go on. Is it the problem of the house itself? Or the problem of people?”

It was a long story which wasn’t able to be elaborated at once by several words though. So the owner of the house invited Song Qinghan and Wu Dahu to the inner room, he poured three cups of tea on the table. It was not until he took the first sip on the tea did he commence talking.

“You should have noticed that there erupts two magnificent mansions with delicate gates and decorations. Right? Well, the left one is Gao Mansion while the other is Zhu Mansion. They are actually in the relation by marriage, and they are supposed to have a good relationship for that. But on the contrary, they are not. These two families seem to have resentment to each other, like, they will set a quarrel within three days, and set a fight within five. They even fight fiercely till some of them get bleed. I… I just don’t understand!”

“Well, you probably would say that it’s none of my business in their own domestic affair. But recently, they seem to have been tired of fighting with each other, but they commenced resorting any possible means to harass the other party. Like, they will get a dog or throw a honeycomb to the other mansion’s yard. Well, that won’t be the most annoying thing for me, What’s worse is that they just started troubling me, troubling my house just because I am in the middle.”

“According to what the two families said, as long as they are able to occupy my house, they can use this as a buffer and completely take down the other party. So, it seems like they have gone crazy. They just keep harassing me days and nights without even a break. They have resorted both mild and severe measures to get my house. But I can’t even make a choice. Because if I sell my house to one of them, the other party must get irritated. I’m just an ordinary resident here, offending them or getting them annoyed will be a bad choice cause they’ve got power and money. That works when they want me to die!”

After gushing, the owner of the house seemed to be quite regretful for his confession. He seemed to have said something in his mind that “I should have left this fuxking place if I know I will get troubles out of it.”

Wu Dahu frowned, and then looked at Song Qinghan with an eye contact, saying slowly, “So you don’t even worry that you will offend both of them at the same time if you sell this house to us?”

The owner of the house dithered, and then confessed again, saying, “The master of those two mansions found out that it is a dilemma for me. So they just promised that if I am able to find someone to take over this house while the purchaser is informed in advance about the situation, they won’t trouble me.”

Song Qinghan sneered as if he had seen through the mind of the owner of the house, he raised his eyebrows, saying, “They won’t trouble you, but instead they will trouble us, right?”

Seeing that the two of them had guessed his unfinished intentions, an embarrassment appeared on the face of the owner of the house, he then came to explain, saying, “Well, it… it all depends on them, not me. But what is worth mentioning is that those two masters of their mansions are quite eccentric on their ways of thinking, like, they will just keep three-minute passion for one certain thing, probably they will totally forget everything about this house in the middle after few days. In addition, I purposely set the lowest price for the house in the consideration of such a situation. If you buy it now, that will be definitely no loss for you.”

Though the house was quite good from its appearance, the peace should be the most significant factor Wu Dahu would think about. In that thought, Wu Dahu shook his head and was about to leave with Song Qinghan.

Just as they were about to head out, a burly chap emerged from the outside of the yard. When they saw Wu Dahu, an admiration flashed across his eyes, and then he turned to the owner of the house, saying, “Brother Qin, how is it? When will you leave?”

The owner of the house smiled bitterly, saying, “Brother He, I think I won’t be able to leave, see? My guests are just unsatisfied with the situation, I’m just helpless…”

The burly chap took a measurement on Wu Dahu and Song Qinghan up and down, and then he spoke suddenly, “Are you coming for the tournament?”

With a closer observation, Wu Dahu found out that the burly chap was seemingly a person who was with prowess of martial skills, an sense of amiability emerged in his mind. He then nodded, saying, “That’s right, I’m here looking for a Martial Club and practice.”

Just at the moment his voice fell, a big-size fist happened to appear in front of his face. It turned out that the burly chap was just purposely testing Wu Dahu. With a nimble movement, Wu Dahu dodged the fist in a flash, yet he didn’t fight back but defend.

Several movements in martial arts were all decomposed by Wu Dahu one by one. With that failure, the burly chap sped up his movement of attacking suddenly.

Song Qinghan had already stayed far away with Little Shitou carried in his arms. His eyes were confused by looking at them showing various movement in martial arts. With nerve getting strained, Song Qinghan couldn’t help being worried.

If Wu Dahu really got punched somewhere, even though it wouldn’t be fatal one, he would get seriously injured..

With twenty movements in martial arts done, though the burly chap gained the upper hand, he took a pause all of a sudden and then looked at Wu Dahu with satisfaction.

“Alright! If you would love to purchase this house, I will allow you to practice in my Martial Club for free, and I will guide you by my own.”, said the burly chap.

With a shock, the owner of the house said, “You don’t have to do that, Brother He. How am I supposed to pay you back?”

The burly chap waved his hand, saying indifferently, “Never mind. He is quite a talent in martial skills, now it depends on him. Let’s see if he has a gut.”

Seeing that Wu Dahu was deep in thought, the owner of the house hurriedly persuaded, saying, “Since Brother He lend a hand to you, I should show something either. How about this, I will cut more one hundred silver coins from the original price for you. Just think about it, you can’t even find the second house with such a low price within the provincial capital. In addition, the guidance of Brother He isn’t that easy to get. No one is just as lucky as you!”

Though Wu Dahu didn’t know the so-called “Brother He”, he still could figure out that this burly chap got a profound basis in martial skills while he probably owned his own principle as he was able to combined softness into a tough attack. He probably was not the top Master in the martial skill area, but it wouldn’t be overstated to describe him as a veteran with a profound knowledge and thousands of millions of times of practices.

If Wu Dahu relied on himself to search for the Martial Club, it probably would be quite hard for him to find such a veteran to guide him.

Well, that burly chap was right. Now Wu Dahu was facing a great chance in front of him, it would depend on him now to decide whether he could grasp it.

Would he be willing to take the risk of being targeted by the two families to accept this opportunity to improve his martial skills?

Song Qinghan finally figured out everything while standing there without words. He knew he would always stand by Wu Dahu’s side no matter what decision Wu Dahu would make. Well, at least they still got their legs, they could run away as long as he found they could not resist the two families’ power. They could run to the remotest corners of the globe as they wished.

With few rounds of deep breath, Wu Dahu finally made up his mind, saying, “Alright! We’ll take this deal.”

Coming to the provincial capital had already been a highly risky matter, so even a bigger risk would be nothing.

Success doesn’t come easily, so if you want to get something, you’re doomed to lose something instead.

Seeing his decisive attitude, the burly chap got his eyes lit up all of a sudden. He then patted the owner of the house on the shoulder, saying while smiling, “Now you can get a good sleep. I’ll see you again.”

The owner of the house delivered a smile of relief as if he became ten years younger in an instant. He made a bow with hands folded in front to the burly chap and said gratefully, “Thank you, Brother He, for your help! If we have a chance to meet up in the future, I will welcome you with my highest etiquette.”

The burly chap waved his hand and then walked over to Wu Dahu, saying in a low voice, “You just arrived at the provincial capital, you must have lots of things to deal with. I will give you three days for arrangement. Come and find me in Liangyi Martial Club after three days! By the way, I’m He Liwen, just call me Brother He.”

“Remember!”, he stared at Wu Dahu into his eyes, while seemingly giving off a sense of dignity which he owned uniquely, and then he emphasized every single word as he could, “IT WILL BOTHER ME WAITING AFTER THE EXPIRATION. DON’T DISAPPOINT ME!”

After that, he rushed over in a quick move as if he was just coming over here to greet the owner of the house.

Wu Dahu nodded to the owner of the house, and then stretched out his arms, saying, “Well now, let’s go and modify the title deed in case that it will be haunting us for nights.”

The owner of the house also nodded while saying in agreement, “Yes, yes, let’s go inside now, I will pack up my stuff first, please just wait for a moment.”

It was not until they were left alone in the yard did Song Qinghan finally say something, “How better is he than you in martial skills?”

Wu Dahu smiled faintly while a light of proud flashed in his eyes. He then answered with a well-thought-out plan, “No matter how strong he is, I will defeat him for sure after three months!”

Seeing that Wu Dahu was kind of confident, Song Qinghan couldn’t help but feel proud either, while saying excitedly, “That’s my man, I believe you!”

It seemed that the owner of the house had prepared everything and got everything packed up already in advance. After they changed the title deed, the owner of the house rent a carriage and put all his stuff on it and then left quickly. So in that case, Song Qinghan could move in anytime as long as they wished.

In fact, Wu Dahu did make it a plan to move in tonight. After they got back to the lodge, they packed all their luggage and transported them to the yard of the house. And then rearrange everything in the house after cleaning all over.
