Gu Huanian thought her words made some sense. Su Li was angry right now, and she wouldn't listen to anything he said.
It would be better if he waited a few days before coming over. By then, she would be less angry, and maybe the two of them could make up.
"You came to see me just to tell me this?" Gu Huanian looked at Ye Wanyu suspiciously.
"No, it's my dad who asked me to tell you that he's hosting a dinner tonight, and he's invited all his old friends and buddies. He wants you and Uncle Gu to remember to go."
He initially wanted to say no, but then he thought that he might be able to find out something by going to Ye Wanyu's house.
So he agreed.
Since kicking Gu Huanian out, Su Li has locked herself in her house.
After processing her upset feelings, she finally opened the courtyard gate.
Lu Huai was renovating in the yard. He had gradually figured out the tricks of the trade over the past few days and had even hired three people to help him.
His advisor has already taken care of his change of major in college.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Su Li finally come out of the room.
Are you going out?
Su Li nodded, "I want to go out and buy some things."
Seeing her slightly red and swollen eyes, a pang of heartache flashed in his eyes. Despite Su Li's usual strong demeanor, he knew she had a vulnerable side, and this time Gu Huanian had truly hurt her deeply.
Su Li planned to take a stroll in the streets to clear her mind and see what the streets looked like so she could make her next arrangements.
"Do you want me to go with you?" Lu Huai was a little worried about her going out alone.
Su Li shook her head: "No need, I'll be back soon."
Seeing her say that, Lu Huai smiled and nodded.
Before Su Li even reached the supply and marketing cooperative, she saw that there were already many stalls on both sides of the street, selling all kinds of snacks and trinkets.
She wandered around and, as she approached the supply and marketing cooperative, she overheard a mother and daughter talking about houses.
She quietly approached and heard the young woman say, "Mom, you promised to sell the house and give the rest to my brother as dowry when he gets married. You can't go back on your word. Otherwise, you can put the house in my name. That way, Chen Ming and I won't have to live with his mother."
“Daughter! You know that once a daughter is married, she’s like water spilled from a cup. Your father and brother definitely won’t agree to give you this house, so don’t even think about it,” the woman said directly.
“Then sell it. I don’t care. Our family has three houses. You have to give me at least 500 yuan as dowry.”
Su Li observed the two women from behind. The woman was well-dressed, and the girl next to her was wearing a trendy dress with a coat over it and leather shoes.
It's obvious that their family is well-off.
“If we sell the house, we can give you 500 yuan as a dowry, and your mother can make that decision. But the problem is that no one wants to buy our house!”
Su Li's eyes lit up when she heard this. It was like a pillow being delivered to someone who was sleepy.
She walked up to the mother and daughter, smiling, and said, "I overheard you talking about selling a house? I was just planning to buy one. I wonder if I could come and take a look?"
The woman looked Su Li up and down; she was pretty, and her clothes were decent.
Is it possible for someone so young to afford her family's house? That house used to be a shop, and it's quite large.
They won't sell to you if the price is too low.
"Comrade, don't joke with me. What if I take you to see it and you don't have the money? Let me tell you, my house isn't cheap; it'll cost at least five thousand."
"Don't worry, Auntie, I'm really interested in buying. I can afford five thousand yuan. I wonder if it's convenient for me to go see the house now?"
The little girl next to the woman saw that her mother was still hesitating, so she quickly shook her arm and said, "Mom, say something! I think she really wants to buy it, let's take her to see it."
The woman's husband was actually against selling the house, but now their eldest son has just started dating someone and they're planning to get married at the end of the year.
The bride's family asked for a hefty dowry, and their daughter has already found a boyfriend. This girl of theirs is quite a handful.
She's not even married yet, and she's already eyeing her family's house.
The woman finally gave in to her daughter's pleading and led Su Li to a courtyard on Yangyue Street. The woman said to Su Li, "Wait here for a moment, I'll go back and get a key."
Su Li nodded.
The young girl didn't go inside, but instead smiled at Su Li and asked, "Comrade, are you really planning to buy a house?"
"Yes, otherwise, I wouldn't have needed to come with you all," Su Li said bluntly.
"That's true, but where did you get so much money at such a young age?"
She was genuinely curious; this girl was so beautiful, could it be that she had found a rich man?
If that's the case, it's not surprising.
Su Li felt that this person had no sense of boundaries. Who asks someone how they got their money on the first meeting?
"My money! It was all left to me by my mother."
Su Li could tell that this girl was quite shrewd; she dared to make up stories if Su Li dared to ask.
Upon hearing this, a flash of jealousy crossed the little girl's eyes. How could other people's mothers be so generous?
When it was her turn, her mother didn't even want to give her five hundred yuan as dowry.
It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy.
It would have been better if she hadn't known why Su Li was so rich; knowing it was from her mother made her furious.
When the woman arrived, she led Su Li to the east side of Yangyue Street. The three of them walked for a few minutes and arrived at their destination.
The woman pointed to a house in front of Su Li and said, "Look, this is it, it has two floors."
Su Li looked around and found the location to be excellent, right in the center of the street, and the apartment layout also met her requirements.
The woman opened the door with a key, and Su Li went inside. The house was quite long overall, making it suitable for use as a supermarket in the future.
She went up the stairs again, and once she reached the top, she was even more satisfied. Her supermarket would then have two floors. The building was big enough; the downstairs would sell fruits, vegetables, grains, and oils, while the upstairs could sell daily necessities.
The woman showed her around the house before saying, "Do you like this house? If not, I'll lock the door and go home to cook."
“I think this house is very nice. You just said five thousand, can you see if you can lower the price a little?” Su Li tried to bargain.
Upon hearing this, the woman's face darkened. "I told you a young girl like you couldn't afford it! You insisted on coming to see it anyway. Fine, I'm not going to waste my time with you. Get out of here now."
"I want this house," Su Li said quickly when she saw that she was about to kick her out.
"What? What did you say you want it? Do you have that much money?" The woman didn't believe she could afford it.
