After Xiao Moran learned that the homeowner wanted to become a distributor for the Warmth brand mattresses, he skipped the haggling process and agreed to the price the homeowner asked for without any reduction.

It's a cash transaction; you pay the money and receive the property certificate at the same time, and then you can arrange to transfer the ownership the next day.

After receiving the money, the homeowner immediately had his belongings moved out.

Money makes things easy; a bunch of laborers pulling carts are available whenever needed.

Xiao Moran gave Aunt Zhang two hundred yuan, which made Aunt Zhang so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. The homeowner also gave her fifty yuan. This one deal was equivalent to half a year's pension for her. In the past, when she sold a house, people would give her a few dozen yuan as a thank you.

Ye Mei stayed in the newly bought house with Dou Dou and Guo Guo, while Su Ming accompanied Xiao Moran back to the rented apartment to move their things.

“Mo Ran, you could have negotiated a better price with the homeowner. This house was a bit overpriced.” Su Ming also liked the apartment he had just bought. “If we had offered a few thousand yuan less, he would definitely have sold it to us.”

“Dad, it’s alright,” Xiao Moran said generously. “He’ll hand over the money to me eventually.”

"Haha." Su Ming immediately understood. "So that's why you didn't haggle?"

“Exactly,” Xiao Moran said. “This person has a real talent for business and will become my long-term business partner in the future.”

"Then why did you give Sister Zhang so much money?"

“Aunt Zhang has a lot of influence in the community. If we give her more money, she will take care of my family in the future. Xiao Nuan and I aren’t with you 24/7. We’re not afraid when you’re around. But what if Mom is with the children? What if Li Chunxiang tries to take advantage of us?”

"You've really put a lot of thought into this!"

The two grown men moved quickly, making a few trips and loading all the odds and ends into the truck.

It was a rented house, and we didn't buy much.

Larger items like beds and mattresses will require another trip to transport them.

When Su Xiaonuan returned, Xiao Moran's double car was parked downstairs, and a few neighbors were whispering among themselves not far away.

As she brushed past them, she overheard them saying:

"I never knew there were such wealthy people living in our building. I really underestimated them. They bought a detached house right away."

"I heard it's the king of the buildings, wow, he's really rich."

"That's right, Aunt Zhang earns several hundred yuan in just one hour. It's so easy to make money off these rich people."

...

Su Xiaonuan asked, "Whose family is so rich?"

When she got to the second floor, she saw Xiao Moran and her father carrying a mattress, and then she realized that those people were talking about her home.

"Xiao Nuan, don't go upstairs, get in the car and come with us to our new home." Su Ming couldn't stop smiling.

"You really bought a house?" Su Xiaonuan has been busy solving cases these days and hasn't paid much attention to things at home.

Jiang Yi, who was staying in the hospital, didn't even have time to go see her.

“Ah, I bought it.” Xiao Moran said meaningfully. “Tonight, I finally don’t have to sleep on the floor anymore.”

She misunderstood, thinking he wanted to sleep with her again.

"Don't forget our promise!" she whispered to him as she leaned closer.

"Xiao Nuan, move aside, don't block our way." Su Ming saw that she was in the way. "Why don't you go buy some groceries and we can cook a few dishes and have a drink in the new house tonight?"

"I'll just call the restaurant and have them send over some dishes." Su Xiaonuan was a little tired. During the day, she secretly investigated the suspects. These days, she had been working non-stop, and all the dozens of suspects she had identified had been ruled out.

She was somewhat exhausted, and this outcome was a bit unexpected.

This case has been going on for several days, and we still haven't found a single clue.

So when she got to the new house, she wasn't interested in looking around, and instead stood on the balcony in a daze.

It was as if the newly purchased house had nothing to do with her.

Xiao Moran and Su Ming were so busy they didn't even have time to drink a drop of water.

Ye Mei was also busy cleaning up the things that had been moved in.

She only remembered to call the store when her two children came over, hugged her, and said they were hungry.

Zhong Ling answered the phone, "Hello, this is Jiuya Restaurant. Do you need to make a reservation?"

It was dinnertime, and Zhong Ling assumed someone wanted to order food.

"Zhong Ling, it's me."

"Boss lady, you haven't been to the shop for several days. We miss you so much."

"Is something wrong? Come to the shop tomorrow when you have some free time," Su Xiaonuan said. "Have the head chef cook a few dishes and rice for six people, and have Tiezhu deliver them."

"Tiezhu, he's not in the shop. He took the boss's sister to the hospital to see Jiang Yi."

"The boss's sister? Which boss's sister?"

"Xiao Moxi, she came today and has been helping out at the store. She heard that Jiang Yi was injured by the boss and is in the hospital, so she's going to go to the hospital with Tiezhu to deliver food."

"Okay, I understand." After saying that, she grabbed her bag and ran out.

"Mommy, Mommy..."

The children chased after them, shouting incessantly.

"Xiao Nuan, where are you going?" Ye Mei ran out and blocked her way.

"You've been looking like you've lost your soul since you got back. Is there a tricky problem with the case?" Although Xiao Moran was very busy, he had been secretly keeping an eye on her. Knowing that she was under pressure, he didn't disturb her as she pondered on the balcony.

"Mercy is here. That girl, she didn't even tell us she was coming. She went straight to the store. She's been here all morning."

"It's fine that she's here. Just let her take a ride over." Xiao Moran was very happy. "This girl's timing is really good. She just moved into her new house and came here. Let her tidy up her own room."

“She went to the hospital with Tiezhu. These two sworn enemies are bound to fight when they meet,” Su Xiaonuan said. “I’m not talking to you anymore. I have to go and stop them. Jiang Yi is supposed to be discharged in a couple of days. If he gets beaten up by Moxi again, he might have to stay in the hospital for another week.”

"Are you worried about Jiang Yi?" Xiao Moran's smiling face immediately turned serious.

"Xiao Moran, stop being jealous!" she glared at him. "We're both so busy, we simply don't have time to run around taking care of Jiang Yi. Quick, drive me to the hospital, and before they start fighting, go and bring Moxi back."

His stern face finally lit up with joy, and he immediately grabbed his car keys and followed her out the door.

Strangely, when they arrived at the hospital, they only saw Jiang Yi eating.

Besides Jiang Yi, the only other person in the ward was the vegetative patient lying in bed.

"Xiao Nuan, you're finally here," Jiang Yi said happily, putting down his lunchbox.

Su Xiaonuan frowned, a sense of foreboding creeping into her eyes as she scanned the woman's pale face. "Why are you alone? Where are Moxi and Tiezhu? Where did they go?"

“Xiao Moran, you need to keep a close eye on Xiao Moxi. How will she ever get married with such a fierce girl?” Jiang Yi didn’t answer Su Xiaonuan, but instead said to Xiao Moran. “She comes here and immediately tries to hit me, hurling all sorts of nasty insults at me. She’s worse than a shrew. Whoever marries a girl like that is doomed.”

"Where is she?" Xiao Nuan asked him again.

Jiang Yi pointed at the person in a vegetative state and said, "If her husband hadn't kicked that shrew Xiao Moxi out, I'd be in a terrible state right now. How could I be sitting here eating in peace?"

"Let's go to the restaurant." Su Xiaonuan pulled Xiao Moran and started to leave.
