In her previous life, her eldest brother died early, her second sister went blind due to illness, her third brother became autistic, and she herself lived a life of poverty and hardship, scavenging...
Soon it was the end of the month, and Liu Xuewen's family had found a house they liked, so Ling Ran went to the city to discuss the house and to secure Liu Xuewen's job.
Demolition has begun on the East and West Streets of the town. The north wall of the warehouse that Zhou wanted to buy has been demolished and moved back three meters. She does not plan to move the warehouse building, so there will be no street-facing storefronts in this section. It will be temporarily given to the town government to rent out stalls.
As for the Zhu family's courtyard, Zhou wanted to ask Zhang Jiazhong. Zhang Jiazhong wanted to buy the courtyard but was too embarrassed to ask.
What about demolition? Houses that are eligible for demolition have great potential for appreciation.
Seeing that he was embarrassed to speak, Zhou Xiang spoke directly, "If you want this yard, just give me 30,000."
Zhang Jiazhong opened his eyes wide in disbelief, "How much?"
"Thirty thousand. I bought it for ten thousand. There's no way I can sell it to you at the original price."
Zhang Jiazhong nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know. On East and West Streets now, even 100,000 yuan won't buy you a yard. I think the price is low, not high."
"Haha, Uncle Zhang is willing to buy it?"
"Yes! I'll buy it."
In the past three years, he has earned a lot of money from the food street stall. With money in hand, he has the confidence to speak.
"Okay, I'll ask Manager Lu to negotiate this with you."
"Thank you, thank you for taking care of me. Uncle Zhang, I can't describe how happy I am!"
"Just consider it as repaying a favor for my mom. Now, I've completely repaid the favor. From now on, just stay away from me!"
Zhang Jiazhong was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay!"
As a favor, not only did the eldest son lose his job, but he also affected his business and even a yard. It was a big favor that he had to repay, not to mention that the eldest son had made a mistake back then.
After hearing her daughter's imitation, Mother Zhou nodded and said, "Stay away! Their family will probably be in trouble after owning this yard. What about their three sons?"
"Mom, do you mean I took revenge on purpose?"
"I didn't say that. That yard is too remote, and you don't want it. You own half of the store on Second Street in town!"
Yes! She owned 1,200 meters of Zhen Er Street, but to keep the school quiet and have a supermarket inside, she only built a 400-meter stretch of buildings, similar to those used by the government and supply and marketing cooperatives.
She has 80 two-story buildings and she is already well-paid from the rent. No wonder everyone treats her like a fat sheep.
Only Liu Xuewen came back with Ling Ran. He solemnly thanked Zhou Xiang.
Zhou Xiang waved his hands repeatedly, "Brother-in-law is too polite. After settling down, you still have to focus more on Sister Tian. She should see a doctor for her illness. Otherwise, Shanshan will be ruined by her."
"I know! I'm willing to put aside the affairs here because your sister Tian's condition is getting worse and worse. I owe her a lot. Let's not talk about career for now. Family is more important."
"Well! If you do well and are happy in the city, then stay here. If you want to come back, there will always be a place for you here."
"Okay! Thank you!"
None of the furniture in the warehouse building was moved, only the daily necessities of their family were taken away. Zhou Xiang compensated them with money, as the original furniture was all made with their own money.
Looking at the deserted Liu family, Zhou Xiang felt mixed emotions. Liu Xuewen was already in his forties, and after all this trouble, his lifelong work and career were just like that. His career was unsuccessful and his family was in a mess. She couldn't tell the reason.
"Let's go!"
Ling Ran pulled his wife out of the yard, locked the gate, and met Chen Wenlian who came to check.
"Zhou Xiang, don't think too much. Everyone's path is chosen by themselves. The road of life looks long and feels far away. However, once you take the wrong road and want to go back, you will find that the road of life is actually very short.
Xiao Liu and Xiao Tian have different life goals, so won't they become each other's hindrances? "
Zhou Xiang sighed softly, "I thought that pulling my brother-in-law meant pulling Sister Tian, but it turns out not to be the case."
The more he pulled Liu Xuewen, the more Tian Li held him back.
Chen Wenlian changed the subject, "What are your plans for their house?"
"Leave it empty for now! It's too big for a small family."
"She could grow vegetables or something in that yard, it's a waste to leave it empty."
Zhou Xiang took the key from Ling Ran and handed it to Chen Wenlian, "Aunt Chen, I'll give it to you! We'll be able to plant cabbages and radishes for the winter soon. It would be a waste if you planted them and left them unused."
Chen Wenlian was stunned for a moment, then took it. "Okay, I'll plant it. I'm the one who basically takes care of the garden. I feel bad if it's left idle."
Tian Li didn't want to learn anything. She saw that it was a waste, so she took care of the sowing for her. It was so nice to eat the vegetables she grew herself.
Back at the Zhou residence, Dong Yunrong pulled her daughter-in-law over and quietly asked, "Did you really sell the Zhu family's yard to Zhang Jiazhong?"
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Yeah! What's wrong?"
"Didn't I think your aunt wanted to buy a house in the market town?"
"Mom, that yard isn't suitable for Auntie. It's in the most remote western part. Is it suitable for Auntie to live alone? Are you sure? If she really can't buy a house in the market town, I can sell her one of the buildings on Second Street."
"Second Street? It's a bit far from where my son is."
"Isn't the Zhu family's courtyard far away?"
"It's about that far. Forget it. Let's just wait for some crazy loser to sell his house! We can't live on this street. It seems out of the way. Let her live in the front yard of the food station. It's safe."
After a few days of crazy play, the children came to see their mother and aunt and dreamed.
"Mom (Aunt), we miss Da Huang. Can we dream together?"
Zhou Xiang looked at his daughter and asked, "Who came up with this idea?"
Tongtong blinked her eyes and said, "Mom, my uncle is back. Brother Yan'er is so pitiful. He has never played with mom and dad."
