After another busy half-month, we still couldn't find the perfect place—either the houses were some distance apart, or really far away from each other. Finding two adjoining houses just wasn't easy.
Tang Zhengde and his brother Tang Mingli were very persistent in this aspect and would rather wait to buy than settle for houses that were too separated.
If the houses were next door to each other, it would be easier to look out for one another in case something happened.
One day, Tang Mingli got a tip from a friend about a single-story house beside a two-story building, with the two properties sitting right next to each other. The two-story building was newly constructed not long ago, while the single-story was an older house yet to be replaced.
Upon hearing this, Tang Mingli immediately dragged Tang Zhengde to check it out. It just so happened that Tang Yue was off on the weekend, so Tang Mingli pulled her along as well, and Tang Jun, eager to join in the fun, naturally followed.
