The original owner of this courtyard house had fled before the liberation, and of course, before leaving, they had partitioned and sold the property.
Back then, when the original owner's grandfather was still alive, even though everyone said that change was imminent and liberation was coming, and the status of houses was uncertain, they advised him not to buy the house.
Old Master Zhang, who spent his whole life without a house and wandered to Capital City before finding work in a steel rolling mill, always harbored the greatest hope of owning his own home.
Presented with such a great opportunity, how could he be willing to miss it, so he purchased the small courtyard at the entrance.
Originally, this place was specially partitioned off by the main family to serve as a study area for the children, allowing for some separation from the main courtyard house.
