Chapter 144 Body
"The owner of this house in the alley is old and wants to return to his hometown, so he wants to sell the house. I have inquired about the price. Although it is a bit expensive, he did not raise the price. The owner is a very honest person."
As they were talking, they arrived outside the house for sale.
A couple in their sixties lived here. They looked around and found that the yard was repaired every few years, and the roof and floor were well preserved.
The main house has two floors, and there are two side rooms next to it.
Entering from the side door, there is a large vegetable garden with a path in the middle. The pigpen, kitchen, and woodshed are behind the garden.
The vegetable garden is surrounded by a brick wall that is two people high. Unless someone climbs in with a ladder, they cannot see what is inside even if they step on the stones.
Shen Wei nodded, and was quite satisfied with the safety here.
After all, the living conditions here are slightly better, and there are no thugs or hooligans. This can also ensure that the female apprentices who come here will not be harassed on the road.
Shen Wei thought the yard was very nice. After discussing it with Xiaoyun, he asked about the purchase price.
Just as the enthusiastic woman said, the couple did not ask for an exorbitant price, so Shen Wei did not bargain. He paid the money readily and went to the government office together to handle the land deed documents.
“The vegetable garden will need to be filled with bricks and used as a training ground.”
"As for the two side rooms, they also need to be renovated..."
After buying the yard, Xiaoyun and Shen Wei discussed the renovation of the yard. Shen Wei then handed over the renovation of the yard to Xiaoyun, who had already finished her confinement.
A few days later, after the couple moved out, Xiaoyun led the workers to start work in a hurry.
People in the capital were watching the matter of the women's martial arts school with either a keen eye or a sense of ridicule; it seemed that no one was optimistic about the idea of opening a women's martial arts school.
Even with a group of enthusiastic neighbors helping to promote the event, ten days passed and not a single person came to sign up.
Shen Wei discussed with Xiao Yun that this matter could not be rushed. They should let the people in the store learn martial arts first. After they have learned it and let everyone see the results, only then will people sign up.
That day, Miss Lu came to buy the longevity cake in person. After paying, she did not leave immediately, but waited until Shen Wei was not busy to talk to him:
"Miss Shen, I have something to ask you, but I don't know how to start."
"Just say it."
"Ever since the news about the women's martial arts school came out, I've been curious about you...how did you come up with the idea of opening a women's martial arts school."
She was not someone who would come and ask out of curiosity. She just remembered the scene when Shen Wei saved her like a goddess from the bandits.
It is undeniable that she was moved for a moment at that time. If only she knew martial arts, she would not have almost been defiled by the bandits.
But it was only a fleeting thought, and she quickly came to her senses.
As the daughter of a prime minister, how could she learn martial arts?
Only those women who travel around the country or maids who protect their masters would learn martial arts. As a daughter of an official family, she absolutely could not learn it.
But Shen Wei not only studies herself, but also wants to open a women's martial arts school. This is simply a jaw-dropping idea.
Little did she know that all the men in the capital were laughing at her for overestimating her own abilities, while the women in the capital thought Shen Wei was crazy to have such a crazy idea.
But she was very conflicted and wanted to figure out why Shen Wei did this?
Shen Wei knew clearly that this would make people laugh at him.
Hearing what Miss Lu said, Shen Wei smiled.
"Women also need to keep fit. Not to mention the ability to protect themselves, just exercising more can keep themselves fit. A fit body will reduce the risk of illness and depression."
"It means more strength and smoother childbirth, less difficult labor and death, which can save lives at critical moments, not to mention better recovery after childbirth."
