"I finally managed to raise my grandson, but before he even started a family, he got the same illness as his father."
"Hiss~ Then what?" Shu Miao was not surprised at all, but he pretended to be serious on the surface, trying to make the other person's emotions count.
"What else can we do? He's the only child left in their family, so we'll have to sell everything we have to treat him!"
"I heard there are drugs abroad that can control this disease, but imported medicine is so expensive! Even if you have a lot of money, you can't afford it!"
"Well, I heard from somewhere that there's a hospital abroad that can cure this disease. I first gritted my teeth and sold my house in Dongcheng District, and now I have to sell my old house too."
“Tsk tsk tsk… I guess the money is not enough!” Otherwise, how could he sell the old house?
Shu Miao looked surprised and asked, "How much is a house in Dongcheng District worth?"
"It's hard to say, but Old Man Li's house is a small courtyard, so I guess it's about the same amount!"
Shu Miao was stunned when she saw the two fingers he raised. She was not stupid enough to think that she could buy a house in that area for two thousand yuan.
But...why does she feel that this old man is also a hidden rich man?
Otherwise, how could he be so calm?
Seeing that this difficult girl was finally scared by him, the old man felt so happy.
After speaking so long, his throat became dry.
He picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea with great pleasure, sighed, and continued,
"We don't know how powerful the Li family is, but they just sold the house without anyone checking!
He was also blatantly looking for buyers for his old house, not afraid of being reported. What a world this is..."
He shook his head, looking melancholy.
But Shu Miao sensed a hint of sour resentment in it, his eyes flickered slightly, and he continued to ask,
"So where is his house? How much is it worth?"
"It's not far, just on the edge of the village." The old man's interest faded visibly, and his words became less friendly.
"The price is only about ten thousand yuan."
"ah?"
Perhaps he saw that Shu Miao was determined to get to the bottom of it, so he didn't keep her in suspense any longer.
"His house is large and spacious, but he didn't sell it individually. Naturally, no one could afford it, so it was put on hold."
As he spoke, he poured himself another cup of tea, picked up the cup and began to sip it, not looking up at her again.
Shu Miao could see that he meant to serve tea and see the guest off, so he didn't ask any more questions and took the opportunity to say that he had something to do and left.
Maybe the novelty had worn off, and the number of people watching Uncle Li had decreased significantly.
She walked out of the yard smoothly, and her eyes were always on Uncle Li as she passed by him.
After imprinting his appearance deeply in her mind, she walked into the alley without changing her expression. When she reached the corner, she subconsciously looked back.
It was this glance back that suddenly gave Mr. Li, who was extremely disappointed, a glimmer of hope.
