Su Li took out a wad of cash from her bag and waved it in front of them, saying, "I have money. If you're worried about anything, I can go with you to transfer the property right now."
Upon hearing this, the woman had no reason not to believe it.
But since the head of her family hadn't returned, she couldn't make a decision.
He then said to Su Li, "Come again tomorrow. I'll discuss it with my family today."
The little girl said somewhat unhappily, "Mom, we've finally found such a straightforward buyer, why don't we go to the housing authority now to complete the transfer of ownership!"
She was a little worried that things might change and her father and brother might suddenly decide not to sell it.
Wouldn't she then not get a single penny from the family?
The woman was still hesitant; she simply didn't have the courage to sell the house alone.
Even though her daughter kept begging her, she still didn't agree.
Su Li smiled and said, "Okay, you guys discuss it. I'll wait for you here again tomorrow."
Although she wanted a house, she also respected others, but she didn't want to cause a lot of trouble after buying the house.
After saying that, Su Li turned to leave, but the little girl grabbed her arm and said, "Don't rush off."
Seeing that Su Li had stopped, she turned to her mother and said, "Mom, didn't you say there were no buyers? Now that a buyer has arrived, why are you still negotiating? I don't know what's there to discuss. They bought it at the price you asked for. Why don't we go to the housing management office now to complete the transaction? Otherwise, who knows, maybe this person won't want to buy it anymore tomorrow?"
She had finally met someone who could come up with so much money all at once, and she didn't want to miss the opportunity.
Even though there are only two children in the family, the parents are extremely biased, always wanting to save the best things for the older brother.
The family owns three houses, but they won't even give her one. If they don't sell this house now...
After she gets married, she'll probably have nothing to do with the house anymore.
She was unwilling to accept this. No matter what, her dowry could not be less than five hundred.
The woman hesitated, saying, "Xiaoling, I think selling the house is a big deal. We need to wait for your father and brother to come back and discuss it."
Seeing that the two were arguing, Su Li smiled and broke free from the girl's grip on her arm; "I'll definitely come tomorrow. You two can discuss this house properly, whether to sell or not?"
With that, she turned and left.
On the way back, Su Li stared blankly at the roasted sweet potato stall on the street.
I remember Gu Huanian always bringing me a roasted sweet potato.
Her eyes involuntarily reddened.
"Comrade, would you like a roasted sweet potato?" the old lady asked with a smile when she saw that the woman was staring at the sweet potato.
Su Li shook her head; "No need, thank you."
She continued walking forward, but not far away she saw Gu Huanian walking with Ye Wanyu.
The woman's face was full of smiles. She was wearing her favorite bright red dress and stood next to the man. The man was tall and handsome, and the woman was beautiful and charming. The two looked very well-matched.
Even though she had decided to let go, seeing the two of them like this still made her heart ache.
She didn't chase after him to question him, as that would make her seem cheap, and Gu Huanian didn't even see her.
They disappeared around the corner, and she went home feeling upset.
Once inside his room, he touched his face and realized that tears were streaming down his face.
Why is it that the person who was begging for her forgiveness yesterday can walk with another woman today as if nothing happened?
She quickly washed her face with cold water, went into her spatial dimension, drank a large cup of spiritual spring water, and then went for a stroll on the mountain.
She used her consciousness to wander around the mountain, but she didn't actually know what she was wandering around for.
She felt empty inside and wanted to find something to do.
As she ventured into the woods, she saw two large, fat rabbits.
She teleported to their vicinity, picked up two pebbles, and threw them at the rabbits.
Seeing that the rabbit was no longer moving, Su Li walked over and picked it up.
Carrying two rabbits, Su Li teleported to the kitchen in the space.
She picked some scallions and chili peppers from the vegetable garden.
I'm going to make two spicy rabbits to fill my stomach.

After beating up Gu Huanian, Su Mu returned to Nan Province, having not even taken a few days off.
Besides, he still had to attend school. He was already in high school, and he was thinking that he would go to Peking University in the future.
Since I'm in the same school as my older sister, I can't afford to fall too far behind in my studies.
When I got home, I saw Su Guoqiang sitting in front of the gate.
He looked half-dead. Su Mu stepped forward, glanced at him indifferently, and said, "What are you doing sitting in front of the door? You look like someone owes you something."
Whenever Su Guoqiang has time, he always holds the child and plays with him.
I didn't see him holding the child today either; he's just sitting here feeling melancholic. It's really strange.
To be honest, Su Mu admired his father a lot; the child didn't look like Su Jiaojiao at all.
He was dark-skinned and ugly, but I really don't know how he could find him more and more pleasing to the eye. He would even praise him from time to time, saying, "This child is really beautiful." It's amazing that he could say such a thing.
Our family's money is gone.
Without even thinking, Su Mu said, "So what if it's gone? It's not like we've never had one before. Your paycheck is coming up soon anyway, just make do for a few days. You don't have to be this miserable."
"That money was what I had saved up for medical treatment," Su Guoqiang said, sounding somewhat distressed.
Su Mu listened to him talk about these things without any reaction. Since he started high school, he had stopped paying attention to his salary.
"Where is she? Where did she go?"
Su Guoqiang shook his head; "I had a stomachache a while ago and asked her to come to the hospital with me. The doctor said that I had early-stage stomach cancer, which was treatable and required a minor surgery. He told me to prepare the money. I wanted to have the surgery as soon as possible, so I went to the factory manager to get an advance on three months' salary plus what I had saved before. I calculated that it should be enough, but now it's all gone."
Looking at him like this, Su Mu felt no sympathy whatsoever. "Isn't she your most beloved and precious daughter? How come when she found out you were sick, she not only didn't try to help you, but she even stole the money you had for your life-saving treatment? Look at the pain you're in!"
Su Guoqiang seemed to have aged many years in an instant, and he couldn't understand it either.
The person he loved and cherished most in this family was Su Jiaojiao. He was willing to argue with his wife to bring her back for her sake.
She has been sacrificing her own daughter's well-being for her sake, and she herself has developed this stomach ailment because of her.
She was willing to take care of her daughter who was only a few months old.
He couldn't understand what he had done wrong to her, why she would steal the money that saved his life.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Su Mu sneered, "Can't figure it out, can you? She's an ungrateful wretch who can't be raised properly. Only you treated her like a treasure. How about that? Now you've been bitten back! You deserve it."
