Nah, not rich. But I have some friends at the Agre Màlzec, and it's thanks to them that I own the house in Labirença. It's a working place when I'm in the city; small but cosy. The house in the Terions is owned by a friend, but I use it more than him. The only thing I bought was the villa, and I don't regret paying for it, that's for sure.
