Chapter 407 - 407 397

?Chapter 407: 397 Chapter 407: 397 After the semester finals, the school completely closed for vacation, and Shen Yunfang returned home. Looking at the empty house, she had previously complained about being too busy, always either at school or dealing with the kids, without any time to rest. Suddenly having free time, she found herself unexpectedly at a loss, aimlessly wandering around the house, unsure of what to do next.

There were still over two weeks left of her child’s daycare program, and she did not plan to take the child out early. Therefore, she had to find something to do to occupy herself.

She began to wander the streets and alleys with a plan, firstly to see if there were any business opportunities. After all, opportunities come to those who are prepared, she reasoned. With free time on her hands, she could explore and learn about the local customs which might bring unexpected rewards from these few days of effort in the future. Of course, this was just her wishful thinking, with no scientific basis. Secondly, she was also casually looking to see if any homes were for sale nearby. Now that she had some money, it was just sitting there. If she could buy a couple more properties while the prices were low, she could look forward to a nice future as a landlord, even without doing anything else. Most importantly, she wanted to see if the winds of reform had begun to blow. This place is the Capital, after all, and closest to the nation’s political heart. Any ripples of change would surely be felt here first. She hoped to witness the emergence of private entrepreneurship.

The results were mixed. She didn’t spot any individual entrepreneurs but did learn of some houses for sale.

There were three houses up for sale, all of them single-story, and each was a small single-room unit of just over ten square meters. Shen Yunfang had looked at them herself. Well, how to put it—the accommodations weren’t even as good as the room she rented in S City. Moreover, the asking prices were far from cheap. The most expensive ones were in a four-sided courtyard, smack in the middle, showing signs of renovation. It appeared that it had been the main living room of the courtyard house, now partitioned off for living.

The room was roughly eighteen square meters, divided into four smaller rooms by the owners, a testament to how cramped their living conditions were. They were asking 1,200 yuan.
