The moment the two looked at each other from a distance, they were both stunned.
Shu Miao glanced around and saw that no one noticed him, so he drew a circle in the air.
The light in Uncle Li's eyes gradually brightened, and he nodded slightly without saying a word.
Ten minutes later,
Next to an old well that had long dried up in the hutong area, Shu Miao leaned against the wall in the shade, leisurely reading a book.
As to whether Uncle Li really understood or not, she was not sure. Anyway, she would leave after waiting here for half an hour without him showing up.
Just as her allotted time was about to end, the sound of staggering footsteps was heard.
Shu Miao calmly put away the book and turned his gaze towards the corner of the alley.
Although I knew that the elderly Mr. Li was in poor health, it was only when I looked him in the eye that I realized that he was very thin and hunched.
He moved very slowly, taking every step carefully.
She frowned subconsciously, a little confused as to whether it was really possible for him to take his seriously ill grandson abroad with a huge amount of money for medical treatment given his physical condition.
Although the old man didn't look very well, his short coat was clean and tidy.
He didn't mind the girl's scrutiny at all, still smiling, but his words were straightforward.
"Girl, do you want to see the house?"
"Aren't you afraid that I'm playing a trick on you?" Shu Miao asked back.
"You're joking, young lady. Although my old bones are useless, I still have a knack for judging people."
The old man was probably tired from walking, so he found a place to sit down while talking, took a breath, and then looked up at her again.
"They say appearance is determined by the heart. The girl has clear eyes, she definitely doesn't have bad intentions."
Shu Miao was silent, thinking, appearance is mostly genetic, right?
But now is not the time to talk about these things, so I asked him directly about the condition of the house he wanted to sell.
"It's an old house, so it just has a larger area. I can't guarantee anything else, but the ownership is absolutely clean!"
"I heard that you have a way to transfer the ownership legally?" This was Shu Miao's main concern.
She had heard about some people trading houses privately before, but after hearing that the transaction contracts were handwritten, she remained on the sidelines.
If she hadn't heard from the old man before that the Li family had some special relationship, she might not have taken the risk to talk to them.
"Miss, you're an open-minded person. To be honest, our Li family does have some connections with the higher-ups. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to find buyers all over the street, right?"
"But let me be frank with you, you have to pay the full amount of the house in one lump sum." The old man said with a gesture.
Shu Miao was startled, and it took him a while to recover, but his voice was still a little shaky.
"Thirty thousand?"
No, was she the one being taken advantage of?
Or did the old man make a wrong estimate before?
Is it like I accidentally entered a rich person's channel?
I don’t know where she, a little vegetable, got the courage to covet the mansion of this rich man?
No wonder his house can’t be sold. At this price, how many people can afford it?
"My dear, don't be fooled by my high price. My house is huge! It covers an entire acre!"
"Although the house is a bit shabby, after some renovations, it can be rented out and earn rent. What a great deal!"
Shu Miao, who had already given up, immediately waved his hand to stop him from continuing.
"Uncle, don't waste your time with me. Even if you sell my whole family, you can't get that much money."
"I'm so sorry to trouble you." Shu Miao didn't give him a chance to stay and ran away.
"Hey, girl, don't, we can discuss it..."
Hearing the other party's blatant shouting, Shu Miao felt a blockage in his heart, but ran even faster.
She was still feeling annoyed, so she said it!
How can it be so easy to buy a house in this capital?
Forget it, she should just be honest...
***
Time flies to the next day,
Shu Miao, who had finally gotten the recruitment information from a "Smart" senior, was blocked downstairs of the dormitory by He Li, who had been waiting there for a long time.
He Li folded her arms, narrowed her eyes, and looked her up and down with her head tilted.
"Tell me the truth quickly. What have you been doing these days? Why can't I find you anywhere?"
"Something happened. I'll explain it to you another day. Sorry, I'm in a hurry now."
Shu Miao hurriedly glanced at his watch, explained quickly, and turned around to avoid her blockade.
He Li had been following this suspicious girl for two days and finally caught her. How could she let her get away so easily?
He took a step forward, opened his hands, and blocked the person directly. "Hey! Shu Miao, I think you are just floating, right?"
He rolled his eyes at her in displeasure, but his words were full of concern.
"You're treating me like an outsider, aren't you?"
"Did something happen?"
"If there's anything, let's solve it together. There's no need to hide it!"
Seeing her like this, what else did Shu Miao not understand?
"That's what you said, okay, come with me!"
He grabbed her arm and walked away quickly, not forgetting to explain,
"Come with me to the train station to pick up my brother."
"Your brother?" He Li's face was full of doubt. She wasn't...
"Cousin."
"Oh, hi, I thought it was something else. Look how nervous you are."
"Just tell me whether you're going or not. It's not too late to regret it now."
"Go, go, why not?"
"Why don't you hurry up then?"
"What are you in such a hurry for? Look how panicked you are..."
…
TRAIN STATION
"Hey, sister, what time will your brother arrive? It's getting dark now." He Li stood on tiptoe and looked towards the station entrance expectantly.
