Chapter 1019 The Third Wife Bought a House

When the middleman returned, he had just entered the room looking for Madam Liang when he heard two people talking next to the back room.

"...Why did you persuade Third Aunt to buy another courtyard? I think this courtyard is quite nice, and Third Aunt likes it too." It was Ying Xi who spoke.

Shu Yu laughed and said, "Of course it's good for me. As long as the price here is firm and won't be lowered, I'll have my third aunt buy the courtyard I recommended. Once that courtyard is sold, I'll get a share of the money. When the middleman comes back in a bit, you can help me put in a good word for my third aunt."

"good."

Upon hearing this, the middleman's eyebrows twitched, and he immediately lowered his footsteps and quickly went inside to find Madam Liang.

As soon as he left, Yingxi said, "Miss, that middleman is gone. Is what we're saying really going to do any good?"

"Okay, let's just wait here for good news."

Sure enough, a short while later, Madam Liang came over happily, "Ayu, this house can be sold for two hundred and fifty-five taels."

Shu Yu and Ying Xi exchanged a glance. It seemed to be the lowest price. In any case, they had to let the middleman make some money, right?

After agreeing on the price, Liang promptly paid the money.

The middleman brought the homeowner over, and the two parties signed a contract first. When Lu Sanzhu returned from work, the house would be transferred to the third branch of the Lu family. At that time, the house would belong to the third branch of the Lu family.

With a huge weight lifted from her heart, Mrs. Liang was so happy she almost cried.

The homeowner had already handed the keys to Ms. Liang, who carefully put them away.

The group then left happily and went straight back to Liang's rented house.

Little did they know that Lu Dasong and Li Shi were already waiting in the rented room.

Mrs. Li wanted to see the house that the third wife wanted to buy, but she didn't know the address.

Fortunately, the door to the third house was open, and Lu Sixing was helping to take care of Baoya and also entertaining her elder brother and sister-in-law who rarely came to visit.

When Liang entered the house happily with the contract and key in her hand, she saw Li's sullen face.

Liang was not afraid of her, and even proudly took out the contract, saying, "Our family finally has a big house, a big house in the county town."

As she spoke, she picked Bao Ya up in her arms. "My good daughter, when you're a year older, I'll give you your own room. You can decorate it however you like. Aren't you happy?"

Bao Ya was happy, but what made her happy was seeing Shu Yu.

She struggled to get down from Liang's arms, ran to Shu Yu, hugged her leg, and tilted her little head up, "Sister, candy."

This is a classic case of sucking up to someone powerful.

Shu Yu was delighted. She took out two candies from her purse, put one into her mouth, and asked her to give the other to Xiao Zhen.

Bao Ya ate with her eyes squinted, then went to play with Xiao Zhen on the side.

Looking at this scene, and then at her daughter and son beside her, Li felt another pang of pain in her heart.

Look at other people's children, and then look at my own. How come they're so stupid?

Lu Dasong wanted to ask about the house, so he called Erniu over and asked him what he thought of it.

Lu Sixing asked Shu Yu to watch the child while she went to the kitchen to cook something. "I've already made the noodles, just waiting for you to come back so I can cook them."

Mrs. Liang was in a good mood today and, unusually, didn't mind that so many people had come to her house for dinner.

Although she has an annoying sister-in-law, she'll give her a small bowl of noodles for the sake of the children.

She rolled up her sleeves. "Fourth Sister, you take care of the child yourself. Don't let A-Yu get tired. I'll cook the noodles." She paused, then looked at Li Shi. "Eldest Sister-in-law, come and help me."
