Chapter 162 Consider it a lesson learned



Aunt Zhang shook her head to indicate that she was fine, then wiped away her tears again, but held Uncle Zhang's hand tightly.

Looking at the loving couple, Gu Lili suddenly remembered Li Xihua and Gu Shan from her memories.

If they were alive, they would probably still be this loving.

The medicine was changed quickly. The old doctor prepared several doses of medicine, gave Uncle Zhang a few more instructions, and then the four of them came out.

"Erniu, why don't you take Uncle Zhang to the car first? I want to go for a walk and buy some things."

Gu Lili helped Aunt Zhang and Gu Erniu put Uncle Zhang on the cart, then turned to Gu Erniu, who was about to leave the city, and said...

Gu Erniu nodded, and then he and Aunt Zhang pushed Uncle Zhang back to the oxcart.

As Gu Erniu walked, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "They just bought an oxcart yesterday, and they're buying another one today!"

After watching them walk away, Gu Lili turned around and went into the dental clinic that the aunt had pointed out earlier.

The house I bought today is for my own shop, so I can use the main road and don't need to change clothes.

Before she even got close, Gu Lili heard a man and a woman arguing.

"It's all your fault! Why were you so greedy! That Wang Fugui shop is rotten, how can we sell it! And with that scandal that happened in that courtyard, you can just wait to see if you can get rid of the shop!"

An older woman pointed at an older man's nose and berated him.

The uncle, annoyed by the scolding, lowered his head and muttered, "How was I supposed to know it would turn out like this? When Li Yuemei came to me, she only said that her father had died and she needed money urgently, and that she would buy it for fifty taels. I thought it was so cheap, so I bought it."

It's not the uncle's fault; the price is what it is. Even buying a plot of land would cost thirty or forty taels of silver.

What's more, it's a ready-made shop with a yard.

That's why Li Yuemei is such a ruthless person. When she woke up and saw that Wang Fugui had gone mad, she immediately took the house deed to a broker and transferred the property before the county government office closed.

By the time the news spread throughout the city, Li Yuemei had already fled far away.

These days, middle-aged men also have their own unspeakable grievances!

He thought he would definitely make over a hundred taels from this deal, but now he's ruined it all.

The aunt was so angry that she stood up and slapped the uncle several times.

Knowing he was in the wrong, the man let the slap land on his face.

Gu Lili coughed lightly. It wasn't that she wanted to interrupt the older woman's lecture on her husband; it was just that Gu Erniu and the others were still waiting for her.

The two looked up and saw Gu Lili standing at the door.

"Sir, what would you like to buy?" The uncle was the first to react and quickly stood up to ask.

If he didn't get up soon, his wife would slap him until his face was swollen.

Gu Lili said, "I want to buy the shop that you just mentioned, the one owned by Wang Fugui!"

She wouldn't mind if Wu Chenggui died in the courtyard.

That house is in such a good location; if you buy it at a low price, you'll definitely make a profit.

So what if the house smells bad?

Anyway, I have the antidote for the "rotten egg". I can just buy it from the trading space and get rid of the stench.

The two people in the shop were stunned when they heard this.

The older woman came over and advised, "Young lady, you must have heard what happened at Wang Fugui's house. Putting aside the scandalous affair, the stench from the shop is unbearable. There's no point in buying it unless you tear it down and rebuild it!"

This morning she went to that shop with the key, and the stench there almost made her faint.

That's why she angrily went to confront her husband.

"Yes, young lady, if you want to buy a shop, we have plenty on hand. Why don't you take a look?" the uncle said earnestly.

After listening, Gu Lili thought that the two people were actually quite nice.

However, she shook her head and said, "I'll take this one. Name your price, and if it's reasonable, I'll buy it!"

After hearing this, the couple looked at each other in disbelief.

The girl in front of me seems quite clever, but the things she says sound like something a fool would say.

I've already told her there's a problem with the house, why do you insist on keeping it?

"Young lady, are you sure you want it?" The older woman was still somewhat incredulous.

Gu Lili nodded and said, "I'm sure I want it!"

The woman thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll sell it to you for fifty! But once I sell it to you, you can't take it back!"

Gu Lili shook her head and said, "Forty-five taels!"

Just kidding, I need to save money to upgrade the system, so naturally I'll save money wherever I can.

Moreover, Gu Lili was certain that the aunt would agree.

Sure enough, after thinking for a while, the aunt gritted her teeth and agreed.

We have to sell this house, even if it means losing money.

If we miss out on Gu Lili, we'll probably be stuck with her forever.

"Then we've lost five taels of silver, haven't we?" the uncle said hastily.

The aunt rolled her eyes. If Gu Lili hadn't been there, she would have slapped him a few more times.

"Consider those five taels as a lesson for you, so you'll remember next time that you must inspect the goods before buying!" the auntie shouted.

The uncle immediately shrank back; he knew that selling the house to Gu Lili was the right choice.

Gu Lili readily paid the money, and the uncle then took her to the county government office to complete the property transfer.

After completing the formalities, Gu Lili put the house deed and keys into her spatial storage and hurriedly headed out of the city.

Once outside the city, Gu Erniu was already standing in front of the oxcart, looking around.

Seeing that Gu Lili's hands were empty, Gu Erniu was puzzled.

Didn't you go shopping? Why aren't you carrying anything?

"Erniu, what are you looking at? Let's go home for dinner!" Gu Lili said with a smile.

I stumbled upon such a great bargain today, how could I not be happy?

When I have time, I'll get rid of the stench, then find someone to renovate it, and then I can give it to Gu Erniu.

Gu Erniu nodded, but ultimately did not voice the question that was on his mind.

Back home, Gu Huanhuan had already prepared dinner.

After taking Uncle Zhang home, Gu Lili and her brother began to eat.

"Huanhuan, have you finished eating? Go and call your older sister Hua over later. I have something to discuss with her," Gu Lili said to Gu Huanhuan with a smile.

Gu Huanhuan's embroidery has been getting better and better lately, so I need to start planning for her soon.

In a few days, we'll go to the village head's place again to buy some wasteland.

Plant some mulberry trees, and then raise some silkworms.

Gu Huanhuan nodded repeatedly while eating.

Gu Lili then looked at Gu Sigou. Gu Sigou is at the perfect age to study, and besides, he has a good memory and a talent for learning.

Once the school is completed, we will send him there to study.

As for myself, I'll work hard to earn money and become a little rich woman as soon as possible.
