Yi Feifei said, "Name your price. If the price is right, I'll take them all."

The woman said, "I'm not lying to you. When I got married, I bought all new furniture and appliances. You might not believe me if I said the furniture was a few years old, but my age proves it wasn't that long ago."

The woman's words are the truth. Judging from the furnishings in her home, she is at least a cadre. Cadres this young are usually college graduates, and she couldn't have been married for more than five years.

Yi Feifei said, "I believe your furniture isn't too old. Even if it's new, it's still secondhand. Name your price."

The woman said, "I really won't argue with you about this. If it were new furniture, I would have sold it directly to a furniture store. I wouldn't be asking for an exorbitant price, but don't even think about haggling. Buying a 24-inch color TV, plus a washing machine and refrigerator, would cost over five thousand yuan. You can only give me four thousand yuan at the very least, and I'll take everything from the house. Can you accept this price? If not, then we can stop talking."

The price the woman asked for was indeed not high. Second-hand goods are worthless to sell but valuable to use, and everyone understands this. If she were to sell to a dealer who collects old appliances and furniture, she would definitely not be offered this price. Second-hand dealers would never accept this price if they didn't make a profit. If a second-hand dealer could offer the woman this price, she wouldn't be looking for customers in the furniture market.

Yi Feifei said, "Okay, I'll take it all at this price. Help me contact a moving company, I'll move my things right away."

With so much stuff to move, it's really impossible to do without a moving company.

"My older sister is really efficient; we do have some similarities in personality."

After the woman finished speaking, she took out her phone and contacted a moving company for Yi Feifei.

The moving company quickly arrived at my home. They charge based on the size of the house and the number of moves; for a three-bedroom house, it costs 300 yuan per move.

There's a reason behind these pricing standards. Larger houses have more furniture, so moving companies send different sized vehicles. Larger houses with more furniture require larger vehicles. If it's a villa move, they might even send two large vehicles. The pricing standards will definitely not be the same depending on the size of the house.

Of course, nothing is absolute. If the house is large and there isn't much furniture, you can explain this over the phone, and the moving company can send a small car and two people, which can also reduce the cost.

This is the standard fee for moving an entire house like Yifeifei's; of course, there will be extra charges for particularly long distances.

In those days, most buildings were walk-up apartments. If the floor was particularly high, there would be extra charges. Carrying things down the stairs was not easy. Moving to the third floor cost this much. The pricing was different for each step of the process, and the more effort someone put in, the more they would be charged.

These days, even installing an air conditioner outdoor unit incurs a high-altitude fee of several hundred yuan, let alone moving from a high-rise building.

Yifei found the price acceptable, saying, "You guys load it into the car, but be careful not to damage anything."

The supervisor said "Don't worry," and then had people start moving things downstairs and loading them onto the truck.

Yi Feifei must have had money on her when she went out to buy furniture and appliances; she paid the woman four thousand yuan in cash.

After counting the money and putting it in her bag, the woman said, "I'm going downstairs to check out. Just close the door behind me after you've moved my things."

Yi Feifei said "okay," and the woman turned and walked out of the house downstairs.

This family must be well-off. For one thing, the woman didn't take many of her clothes and shoes with her, and every single one of them was a designer brand. You couldn't find any cheap, low-quality items in the closet.

There was something that puzzled Yi Feifei: the woman said she bought the furniture when she got married, but there were no men's clothes in the room. Yi Feifei knew without thinking that the woman and her husband must have divorced and she was now a single woman.

She was also a divorced woman. After the divorce, Yi Minghui took all her clothes with him. Even if there were any left in the house, she had already thrown them all away. What did she need those things for when she no longer had a man? It made her feel sad.

She was busy until 5 p.m. before the moving company finally moved her things upstairs and placed them in her home. Yifei pointed to each place and put it there.

After helping with all the furniture, Yifeifei took out 300 yuan from her bag and handed it to the leader. They took the money and went downstairs to go back.

Yi Feifei cleaned the house again. The house had just been settled, and she hadn't bought any food, oil, rice, or flour yet. Yi Feifei didn't want to cook tonight. She wanted to go to the mall to see her daughter. With such a big house, she wanted to ask her daughter to cancel the rent she was renting outside and have her come and stay at their house after get off work.

Yi Feifei washed her face, put on her coat, and went out of the house.

She went downstairs, left the residential area, and walked towards the bus stop.

She has worked in the municipal government for so many years, but now she can't even afford a car. Only in recent years has she truly realized that working a salary is not as good as running a business. No matter how hard you try, you can't make a living as a business owner. She tries every year but still has no money to spend. Now she is over forty years old and has accomplished nothing. In the end, she has ruined her family.

She felt her husband was useless, so she wanted to make a name for herself through her own abilities. However, when she was young, her lovers seemed to treat her very well, but in reality, they were only after her beauty. In recent years, they haven't even made a phone call to her, let alone gotten close to her.

Looking back at her life, Yi Feifei realized that her ex-husband lacked masculinity. If he had been more capable, she wouldn't have been fooling around with other men and what she had accomplished after half a lifetime.

To put it bluntly, her ex-husband's seemingly glamorous life in his youth was all earned through her body and beauty. In recent years, she had become a withered flower and could no longer protect him. As one of the first batch of laid-off cadres, she sent him home. This was the main reason for Yi Feifei and Yi Minghui's divorce in 1993.

What's the use of a man who can't live without his wife's protection? Otherwise, I wouldn't have divorced him at my age.

Yi Feifei took a car to the supermarket where her daughter worked. After entering the supermarket and asking around, she learned that her daughter had stopped working there a long time ago.

My daughter has a good friend named Xiaoyu. She found Xiaoyu and asked my daughter where Xiaohui was. At first, Xiaoyu was unwilling to say, but later she made Yifei cry.

She has nothing left but her daughter, and she is terrified that her daughter will go down the wrong path like she did.

Xiaoyu felt sorry for Yifeifei and finally told the truth.

It turns out that her daughter, Yi Xiaohui, stopped working here half a year ago; she fell in love with a 29-year-old man.

The young man was a rich second-generation heir who was very wealthy in the real estate business. He later gave Yi Xiaohui a house.

After hearing this, Yi Feifei really wanted to cry. Was what her daughter did called love? It was called a monetary exchange. She believed that the young man did not love his daughter, but loved her beauty.

Following the address Xiaoyu gave her, Yifeifei made several inquiries and finally found her way home that evening, raising her hand to knock on the door.

The door opened instantly, and a woman in her thirties asked, "Auntie, who are you looking for?"

Yi Feifei said, "Does Yi Xiaohui live here? I'm her mother."

The woman said, "You've come at the right time. I just found out today that your daughter is seducing my husband. Take her away right now, or I'll kill her."
