For his wife, who was used to sleeping and waking early, it was already late. Mr. Shen stopped beating around the bush and explained the general situation with the courtyard to his grandson.
After he finished, Mr. Shen added a reminder. "If you want it, you need to act fast. When your grand-uncle went over tonight, the owner's eldest grandson was right there.
Tomorrow, word that his old courtyard is for sale will surely get out. In our Old Shen Family, the youngest sons of both your Uncle Yuan and Grandpa Zhong are about to get married and split off on their own.
It'll be fine if their two families plan to wait for a homestead to be allocated. Otherwise, as an unmarried young man, if you don't snatch it up first, you really won't stand a chance against them."
'Is being married such a big deal?'
Shen Weimin couldn't help but laugh.
'Turns out, it really is a big deal.'
