Chapter 488 Not Going

After deciding the price, Su Nanzhi simply paid the money and then went to the Housing Authority to apply for the documents.

Uncle Zhou was holding the money in his hand, still a little dazed.

He just sold the house like that? Which good family would carry money with them when buying a house?

And it was packed in a rag bag.

But looking at the burly Gu Xizhou next to Su Nanzhi, it didn't seem like a big problem to put money in the rag bag.

Uncle Zhou held the money in his hand in his arms and looked around vigilantly, afraid that someone was targeting him.

The house sold so easily that I didn't expect to get the money.

Finally, it was Gu Xizhou who spoke up and took Uncle Zhou to the bank to deposit the money. Only then did Uncle Zhou breathe a sigh of relief.

When Gu Xizhou came back, Su Nanzhi was standing in the yard chatting with someone.

"Comrade Su, how much did the Zhou family sell you for this house?"

The person who was talking to her was a woman who looked to be in her fifties, and she was staring at Su Nanzhi with a gossipy look on her face.

The old lady didn't wait for Su Nanzhi to answer and immediately asked a new question.

"How many people are there in your family? With such a big yard, there must be a lot of empty rooms, right?"

Su Nanzhi looked at the greed on her face, and a curve appeared at the corner of her lips, but there was no smile in her eyes.

"My grandparents, my nephew, my aunt's family, and I'm pregnant with two children. I feel like this yard isn't big enough for me and my husband."

When the old lady heard what Su Nanzhi said, a look of regret appeared on her face.

"Hey, that place is much more spacious than ours. There are six families living in our small yard."

When Gu Xizhou heard this, he realized that the old lady should be living in the old professor's yard.

Seeing that the old lady wanted to ask more questions, Su Nanzhiqiang walked towards Gu Xizhou before she could open her mouth.

"Are you back?"

Gu Xizhou nodded, then looked at the old lady with a hint of coldness in his eyes, which made the old lady, who wanted to continue chatting, get stuck in her throat.

"Xiao Su, this is your boyfriend! He's so handsome. Everyone at home has gotten off work, so I'm going back to cook."

After saying that, he left in a hurry without waiting for Su Nanzhi's reply.

Gu Xizhou waited until the old lady disappeared before he stepped forward and closed the gate.

"This yard has been uninhabited for a long time, so we need to clean it up before we can move in. We'll just stay in the guesthouse for the next few days."

Gu Xizhou looked around the yard. Although the Zhou family had done a simple cleaning before planning to sell the house, some places still looked a bit dirty.

Su Nanzhi nodded and had no objection to this.

But when she thought of what the old lady had just said, she looked at Gu Xizhou with sparkling eyes.

"Wait until the house is cleaned up, and let Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu and their family move in? They'll be just fine to keep me company. After I give birth, I'll also have Aunt Liang come and help me for a while. Then I'll need to find two more people to help me look after the baby."

She paused slightly at this point and continued, "Then these six rooms are a bit small."

Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows and spoke before Su Nanzhi could say anything, "So you want to buy the yard next door as well?"

Su Nanzhi nodded.

Although the old professor's yard looks a bit messy, it is large. When it is bought, it will be connected with Uncle Zhou's yard, making it more comfortable to live in.

Gu Xizhou glanced at the yard. It wasn't very big, but when the children grew up and could run around, it would really not be enough.

“Do we have enough money?”

Su Nanzhi nodded. They didn't have much savings left, but in another six months, her college entrance examination books would earn her a lot of money, and buying a yard would not be a problem.

Seeing this, Gu Xizhou did not easily agree.

"I'm going to report to the new unit in two days. You're still pregnant, and I'm worried."

Su Nanzhi also understood Gu Xizhou's concerns, but she was a little unwilling to give up so easily.

"It's okay. There's no rush to buy this yard. It'll take a few months until the baby is born, and even more years until they can run and jump."

"Besides, the old professor's yard won't be sold in a short period of time."

After all, only a few people can afford to buy a house now, and it is also a big problem for people to live in the old professor's yard.

"At worst, I don't want the yard next door, so I'll go around and see if there are other yards suitable for purchase."

Hearing that Su Nanzhi was not just trying to fool him, Gu Xizhou finally suppressed his worries.

Gu Xizhou sent Su Nanzhi back to the guesthouse, then went back to clean up.

Not long after he left, Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu came to her room.

During his stay in Taipei, Mr. Xu looked much better. He must have seen many patients and made a lot of money privately. The day after Grandma Xu and Xu Jianian arrived in Taipei, he took them on a tour of Beijing.

"Su girl, your grandmother Xu and I have chosen a house and plan to move there tomorrow. Do you want to come with us?"

Mr. Xu walked into the house and without saying anything, he directly stated his purpose.

Su Nanzhi had previously told others that the people who would live in the new courtyard included the Xu family, but she did not have time to ask the Xu family for their opinions. Unexpectedly, the Xu family came to ask her first.

Seeing that Su Nanzhi didn't speak for a long time, a hint of disappointment flashed in Mr. Xu's eyes, but he still smiled and said, "Forget it, forget it. You young people can't live with us old people. When you have time in the future, go out more often."

After hearing these arrogant words, Su Nanzhi finally reacted and immediately pulled Grandma Xu over.

"Grandma Xu, you have to take better care of your husband. He's so impatient at his age. I didn't even say anything, but he just flatly rejected me."

"Who said I don't want to live with you? I'm hoping you'll help me after the baby is born."

As she spoke, she shook Grandma Xu's hand coquettishly.

Grandma Xu patted the back of Su Nanzhi's hand lovingly, and her eyes fell precisely on Grandpa Xu.

"You old man, Jianian and I both want to live with Miss Su. If you don't want to, then you can live alone."

Old Master Xu snorted lightly, but didn't say anything in rebuttal.

Su Nanzhi immediately revealed a smug smile, took Grandma Xu's arm, and told them that she and Gu Xizhou had bought a yard. She also invited the Xu family of three to live with her.

"The yard I bought is very big. When the time comes, you and the old man can have one room, and Jianian can have another room. It's just right."

Mr. Xu, who had just looked like he didn't want to pay any attention to Su Nanzhi, immediately became anxious when he heard this.

"No, I won't take advantage of you."
