Ye Qingqing sensed the woman's disdainful look but didn't take it seriously. She knew that many elders disapproved of women who made men do the work, but having been given a second chance at life, she would not compromise herself just to please others.

Lu Mo likes to peel crabs for her, and she loves to eat them. It's a mutual thing, so if you can't stand it, then don't watch. Their life as a young couple isn't for others to see; as long as they're happy, that's all that matters.

Fortunately, Lin Shufang was very open-minded and never disapproved of it. On the contrary, she even hoped that Lin Shufang and Lu Mo would get closer.

Lin Shufang didn't respond as the woman expected, which left her feeling helpless. She had no choice but to bring it up herself, "Cousin, we've prepared the bride price, but my house is too small to make a new house. Besides, it's not a good idea for them to live together. It would be better if the young couple moved out."

“That makes sense. The young couple has their own world. We adults shouldn’t interfere too much. It’s exhausting and thankless. It’s better for them to live separately. Have you bought a new house?” Lin Shufang asked with concern.

Ye Qingqing was stunned. She hadn't expected that it wasn't about borrowing money, but she still felt that this woman had ulterior motives.

The woman was pleased, finally getting a chance to continue the conversation, and seized the opportunity to reply, "We haven't bought one yet. There are apartments available, but they cost seventy or eighty thousand each. We don't have that kind of money."

Ye Qingqing frowned, having roughly guessed the woman's purpose. Let's hear what she has to say.

"Cousin, I'll be shameless and ask you this: you've settled down in Pingjiang, so you definitely won't go back to that small place in your hometown. Could you sell me your house there?"

The woman shamelessly revealed her ultimate goal, and Ye Qingqing secretly sneered, "As expected, it's all about the house."

Lin Shufang's family was quite well-off. Her parents were both elementary school teachers and they bought a house in the county town. It had yards in the front and back, with a total area of ​​about 300 square meters. However, the house was quite old and looked rather dilapidated. The location was also a bit out of the way, not in the city center.

However, Lin Shufang's parents were in poor health and passed away one after the other not long after she got married. The house was left empty and she never went back to live there. But Lin Shufang hired someone to clean it every two weeks, so it was quite clean and tidy and she could move in anytime.

"You want to buy my house?" Lin Shufang was very surprised, never expecting that her cousin and his wife had come for this reason.

The woman smiled apologetically and said, "It's because Dalin didn't have a new house for his wedding. I thought about it and then I thought of my cousin's old house. You don't go back here, and it's not good for people to live in the house all year round. Why don't you sell it to my family? You definitely wouldn't trust selling it to someone you don't know. You can rest assured that it will be well taken care of by my cousin."

Lin Shufang frowned in thought. The old house really needed to be dealt with. She definitely wouldn't go back to live in her hometown anymore, and it wasn't good for it to be empty all the time. Although her cousin-in-law was a bit stingy, she kept the house very clean and tidy. She was a meticulous person, and the house would definitely be fine in her hands.

“Cousin, I’ve inquired about it. A house the same size as yours, in a similar location, sold for 30,000 yuan. We’re brothers, so let’s keep things clear. I’ll contribute 30,000 yuan, but I don’t have 30,000 yuan on hand right now. I’ll contribute 10,000 yuan first, and I’ll pay the remaining 20,000 yuan within three years. I’ll write an IOU, and the interest will be calculated at the bank rate. Is that alright?”

The woman talked on and on, taking it as Lin Shufang's agreement. She knew Lin Shufang's temperament well; she was easily swayed and easily embarrassed. Since she had put it this far, she certainly wouldn't refuse.

She's been wanting that house for years. It's more than enough for her family of eight. They'll rebuild a three-story house later, which will be even more comfortable than a villa.
