Gu Baijiang looked exhausted. He was equally dissatisfied with the courtyard, but at this point, he had no other ideas. He would just have to take things one step at a time.
"Stop arguing. Everyone pick a room and get some rest. I'll see if I can buy a courtyard tomorrow," he said.
He didn't feel safe living in this dilapidated courtyard. Now that he had a sum of silver on hand, it was better to buy property early rather than wait for his two unfilial sons to scheme for it later.
Gu Kaiping didn't show the slightest joy at the prospect of buying property. Instead, he looked somewhat troubled. "Dad, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to buy a house here. Everyone in Lingnan is hoarding their properties now. There's simply nowhere to start."
"How is that possible?" Gu Kaichen asked. Having been locked up in the backyard every day, he naturally didn't know how the world outside had changed, let alone the situation in Lingnan.
