The gift she gave last time was indeed not in vain. Zhang Cuifen was a person with strong ability to take action. Early the next morning, she came to find Wen Nuan with good news.
"Xiao Wen, good news!"
After breakfast, Zhang Cuifen came to the educated youth site and called Wen Nuan outside before she went to work.
"Auntie, why are you here so early? Do you want to eat?"
Wen Nuan looked at Zhang Cuifen with excitement and felt a little suspicious, but she didn't ask directly.
"Eat, eat, I'm telling you! Old Ginger has promised to sell the house to you for four dollars.
Even if the house is small in size, it’s more than enough for a little girl like you to live in!”
As expected, just as Wen Nuan guessed, Zhang Cuifen came to see her because she had reached an agreement on the house.
"Really! This is really good news, auntie. It's all thanks to you. Otherwise, I would never have thought that such a good thing would happen to me! You are a person who does things efficiently!"
Feeling embarrassed by Wen Nuan's compliments, Zhang Cuifen waved her hands and shook her head in denial.
"That's right, you're just lucky. Besides, it's a blessing that you chose that shabby house. If you delay, it will only lead to more trouble. We'd better get it done as soon as possible!"
Wen Nuan knew that no matter how shabby the house was, it was still habitable. Four yuan plus the land was really a bargain.
If this news were to be released, the team would definitely have a lot of people scrambling to buy it. Wen Nuan was purely benefiting from Zhang Cuifen's help this time.
"Okay, wait for me, Auntie. I'll say hello to the head of the department and ask him to help me get a leave!"
"Okay! Go ahead!"
Wen Nuan turned around and walked into the educated youth center. As soon as she came in, she met the inquiring gaze of many people. After all, Zhang Cuifen was the captain's wife, so naturally she would attract more attention than others.
"Why did Wen Zhiqing and Aunt Cuifen come to see you?"
Du Xiaomei held back, relying on the fact that she was a senior and had a fairly good relationship with Wen Nuan, so she was the first to ask.
"Please let me have some private business!"
After a warm and mild response, she said to Sun Dongxu:
"Captain, I have something to do today. Please ask for leave for me and Captain!"
"What's the matter? If you ask for personal leave, your work points will be deducted! If you are in a hurry, you can go after work in time!"
Seeing that Du Xiaomei didn't ask the question, Sun Dongxu also interjected.
Wen Nuan glanced at them indifferently, but she had no intention of leaking the news before the house was completely settled.
"I mean, it's my own personal matter. Please let me know. If I can make it in the afternoon, I will make up for the morning's work."
Seeing Wen Nuan's tough attitude, Zhang Cuifen at the door looked inside from time to time, and Sun Dongxu didn't dare to force her too much.
"Okay, I'm just reminding you kindly. Since you have your own ideas, I won't interfere!"
Wen Nuan nodded faintly, then walked into the house and rummaged through the cupboard for a while, then walked out carrying her bag.
The action of rummaging through the closet was naturally done for others to see. All the valuable items were placed in the space, and there were only some commonly worn clothes in the closet.
As soon as Wen Nuan left, the educated youth center immediately started talking about it.
"This Wen Zhiqing has a very high voice, but I didn't expect that he would meet Aunt Cuifen. He is really lucky!"
"What can I do if I hook up with Aunt Cuifen? I still have to go to work. But I'm curious, what is she going to do by asking for leave in such a high-profile manner today!"
"But, she always has a cold face. If you know, you would think someone owes her something!"
"That's right, that's right, she's so arrogant and has no dedication at all. I've smelled the smell of meat on her many times, but she always eats it alone, and she's afraid of retribution!"
"Really? When did you find out? Why didn't I notice it?"
"What can you pay attention to? You spend all your energy on men every day!"
"Go to hell, Ge Tingting, if you keep talking nonsense I'll tear your mouth off!"
"Oh, I'm talking nonsense. I saw you and Yang Zhiqing sneaking into the woods yesterday!"
Yu Fei's cheeks turned red with shame. She didn't expect that she and Yang Hao were seen on a date by someone. Fortunately, it was Ge Tingting.
"Tingting, you can't say such nonsense, let alone tell others. Yang Zhiqing and I are in a normal relationship, and there is nothing wrong with it."
"Yes, yes, I know. I'm not stupid. But are you sure that Yang Zhiqing really likes you? I remember that he was still entangled with Wen Nuan last time!"
"That was just a misunderstanding. Besides, Yang Hao likes me now, and it has nothing to do with Wen Nuan!"
Ge Tingting pouted when she saw Yu Fei's excited expression.
"Okay, just know what's going on. I'm too lazy to get involved!"
Ge Tingting really likes men like Yang Hao. She likes stronger ones, like the man she met by the creek last time.
It's just a pity that she doesn't even know the other person's name!
On the other side, after Wen Nuan walked out of the educated youth center and met up with Zhang Cuifen, the two went to 깊 Lao Jiangtou's house together.
Looking at the familiar path, I felt a warm feeling in my heart.
The end of this path leads to the cowshed, and Old Jiangtou's house is only two or three hundred meters away from the cowshed.
"Xiao Wen, you have to be careful over there. Buying a house is a small matter after all. Besides, four hundred dollars is also a small amount!"
Zhang Cuifen was right. In the countryside, many families don't even have four yuan in savings!
Being able to take out so much money to buy a shabby house, Wen Nuan knew that she would definitely become a topic of discussion.
Fortunately, she had told Zhang Cuifen before that she planned to find a partner here, and she estimated that after a couple of days, those aunts and mothers would give up the idea and stop.
As for Zhao Cuiping and Liu Haizhu, mother and son, she would have enough time to pack up the house and move in before she could start packing up the others.
"I know. Thank you for thinking about me, Auntie. I will consider it seriously!"
Zhang Cuifen nodded when she heard this, and the two of them walked without stopping for a moment. In a few minutes, they arrived at Old Ginger's house.
"Old Jiang, are you in the house?"
Standing at the door, Zhang Cuifen raised her voice and shouted towards the inside.
Wen Nuan was caught off guard and got startled. She didn't expect Zhang Cuifen to have such a loud voice!
"Scare you? Haha, look at how timid you are. Will you dare to live alone in the future?"
"Auntie, I was not prepared just now. Besides, I have learned some martial arts. Ordinary people can be my opponent!"
"Really? You're capable of that! I never thought you'd do that! With your tiny arms and legs, you look so similar!"
"Haha, I'm being low-key. Don't worry, auntie. I can definitely guarantee my safety!"
"Okay, since you've made up your mind, I won't say much. This place is quite close to the cowshed and the Wu family's broken yard. If you have any problems, our family can take care of you.
Ruiming, that kid, although he looks a bit cold, he is actually a good person. And you saved Xingzhou last time, if something goes wrong, we will watch and take care of it!"
"Thank you for your consideration, Auntie. I'll take note of what you said!"
