Chen Zhaodi harbored a secret desire to bring the two together, and she was particularly proactive in helping to introduce them.
"Huaying, this is a graduate student from XX University! He has a bright future ahead of him! Aren't you the one who likes highly educated people the most? I think you two get along really well!"
She then pointed to Chang Huaying and said, "Xiao Li, this is my daughter Huaying. She's in her early twenties, has a job, but doesn't have a boyfriend yet. If you know anyone suitable, please help introduce her to someone!"
Li Fei nodded with a smile.
Chang Huaying was filled with longing. A graduate student was even more impressive than a college student. She had always wanted to improve her academic qualifications, but her parents strongly disagreed, so she didn't dare to bring it up.
Perhaps she could ask Li Fei about the situation.
Is there any possibility for someone with her qualifications to further her education?
Chen Zhaodi stood by and watched them, growing happier with each passing moment. It seemed like they were mutually attracted, and this was bound to work out!
"Hey, let me tell you, if the owner is only willing to pay this price for your yard, you absolutely cannot sell it..."
Aunt Cheng's loud voice rang out in the alley.
With a loud cry, Chen Zhaodi immediately abandoned the two of them and ran out to watch the excitement.
“My mom…sometimes she does this!” Chang Huaying was a little embarrassed; her mother was just that kind of person who only cared about her own happiness.
Li Fei smiled knowingly: "I understand. We've met many people like Sister Chen when we went out to do social practice. I sympathize with their families. I think they sometimes feel distressed too."
Chang Huaying nodded in agreement. Her mother always liked to cause trouble and make things worse, while her father, besides being busy with work, devoted all his extra attention to her eldest brother, forcing her to ask her second aunt for help.
She only gradually understood after she grew up and developed the ability to solve problems independently.
Because of Li Fei's words, Chang Huaying developed a good impression of him, since there weren't many people in the world who could understand Chen Zhaodi's actions.
Seeing Chang Huaying's lips curl slightly upward, Li Fei sneered.
He was indeed very easy to fool. He made the right bet. From now on, as long as he is more understanding of Chen Zhaodi, this girl will obediently fall into his arms!
In the alley, Aunt Cheng was lecturing a resident of the opposite courtyard, explaining profound principles to him.
Excitedly, Chen Zhaodi grabbed a neighbor and asked, "What's going on?"
"The owner who wanted to buy their yard sent someone to negotiate the price. It seemed alright. Anyway, bungalows aren't worth much, and there's no heating in the dead of winter. You have to go to the public toilet outside. I said, it's good to sell it. We can add some money and move to an apartment building. Life will be so much better from now on!"
The neighbors sighed, "Just a few days ago they were worried they wouldn't be able to pay the price, but now that the boss clearly has plenty of money, they can't resist being greedy and want more! And look, Aunt Cheng has suddenly decided to take on this job!"
Others gossiped, "I don't think Aunt Cheng has good intentions. She doesn't even live there. Why is she making such a fuss? How much benefit can she possibly get from it?"
Everyone was talking at once.
Chen Zhaodi ate the melon with relish, her eyes darting east and west, busy as a bee.
After listening for a while, Chen Zhaodi clapped her hands excitedly; she was eager to know why Aunt Cheng had done this.
Therefore, she must tell Zhou Hongyu about this when she gets to the store!
The next day, Zhou Hongyu happened to have some free time to go to the store, and Chen Zhaodi immediately told her what had happened that day, wanting to get the answer from her.
Zhou Hongyu shook her head slightly: "Maybe Aunt Cheng's meddling is just an attempt to sell their courtyard. This is obviously a good thing. They can use the money to buy an apartment. Besides, Aunt Cheng's courtyard is right across the street, not far away. If the other side goes too far and angers the boss, it doesn't matter where they buy it!"
Zhou Hongyu analyzed from the perspective of the neighbors, since no one would think that the alley would be demolished in the future, and that they could make money without resorting to underhanded means.
Chen Zhaodi couldn't believe it: "This can't be! A few days ago, several courtyards nearby were sold, and Aunt Cheng patted her chest and said she would never move out of the alley!"
Zhou Hongyu didn't argue, but smiled and said, "Then you just wait and see!"
Chen Zhaodi was skeptical.
If Zhou Hongyu guessed correctly, then she would never dare to disobey Zhou Hongyu again; Zhou Hongyu was a god!
On the other side, the courtyard opposite the Chang family's house was in an uproar over negotiating the price.
Old Tian has several sons, but only one house. He naturally supports selling it for a higher price, as it would be better to divide it among his sons.
Old Tian won over the other residents in the courtyard.
Granny Liu was indecisive. Qi Fenglian was still in the hospital taking care of her pregnancy, and her son Liu Laogen was even staying at the hospital to keep her company. She had no one to discuss things with.
So, after thinking it over, Granny Liu angrily gave Liu Yuting a good scolding.
That brat insisted on marrying a man from out of town. If she had married the youngest son of the shoe factory manager, who would care about this little bit of money? They would have moved to an apartment building long ago, taking advantage of the shoe factory manager's influence...
Granny Liu called her youngest daughter to come back and give her some advice, but it was her son-in-law who answered the phone.
"Mom, something terrible has happened! Yuping is in trouble! She was beaten up by thugs on her way home from get off work!"
Upon hearing the devastating news, Granny Liu cried out in despair. Her poor little daughter had just been injured in a robbery by bandits from out of town, and now this had happened to her.
After thinking it over, Granny Liu started scolding Liu Yuting again. In short, Liu Yuting was the family's punching bag!
After Lao Tian and Aunt Cheng finished persuading the residents in the courtyard, only Granny Liu remained silent.
Someone urged, "Go find Granny Liu quickly, don't let her delay our chance to make money..."
When they knocked on the Liu family's door, Granny Liu hesitated and said she hadn't made a decision yet.
Old Tian was furious: "Old Liu, if you think the current price is right, wait until we sell it for a higher price, and then you can split the extra money equally among us!"
