Grandpa Li immediately beamed and said: "We can do it now. Let's go to the housing management bureau and pay the money and take possession of the house at the same time!"
When Lin Jin held the property certificate, she was still a little dazed. This was her own house!
Lin Jin thanked Aunt Li and wanted to treat her to a meal, but Aunt Li refused, saying she had to go back to her workplace. She even gave Lin Jin her home address, telling her that if Lin Jin needed anything, she could find her at her workplace, and if she couldn't find her there, she could go to her home.
Lin Jin agreed to visit her house more often, and after saying goodbye to Li Yanjun, she returned to the hotel. Grandpa Hu said that she could move out tomorrow, and Lin Jin could move to the courtyard house the day after tomorrow!
Lin Jin secretly resolved to familiarize herself with the area as quickly as possible in the next few days. After all, she was running out of money and needed to find a way to earn some income.
Although she had a lot of fruits and vegetables stored in her space, she still needed to find a suitable sales channel to convert them into cash. After careful consideration, Lin Jin decided to try her luck on the black market first.
So, Lin Jin spent two whole days tirelessly exploring every corner of the surrounding area, finally gaining a relatively in-depth understanding of the region. Not only that, she also successfully sold all the fruits and vegetables in her space, and at a very good price, earning over 1000 yuan in a single transaction!
Holding this unexpected windfall in her hands, Lin Jin's unease lessened somewhat. However, she remained hesitant to sell the precious medicinal herbs. After all, these herbs were too rare, and attracting unwanted attention could bring her unnecessary trouble.
Lin Jin moved into the quaint courtyard house with great excitement. However, when he stepped into the room, he was stunned by the scene before him—the house was in a mess, with piles of clutter, as if it had been through a catastrophe.
Faced with this chaotic situation, Lin Jin was not discouraged. He rolled up his sleeves and resolved to tidy up the room. So, he spent an entire day tirelessly organizing, cleaning, and wiping, finally making both rooms look brand new.
Although he didn't have many belongings, Lin Jin still put in a lot of effort because the room was so dilapidated. He carefully selected a south-facing room as his bedroom, where sunlight streamed through the window, making it feel exceptionally warm and comfortable. He converted the other room into a study, placing bookshelves and a desk there, intending to settle down and read and write in peace.
As for the other rooms, Lin Jin decided to renovate them later when she had more money, and buy some furniture and decorations to make them warm and inviting.
Stepping into the kitchen, Lin Jin found it surprisingly tidy, with all the necessary pots, pans, and utensils. However, to ensure food safety and hygiene, he didn't hesitate to replace all the kitchen utensils; after all, health was the most important thing.
A busy week passed quickly. One day, Lin Jin was reading in her study when she suddenly heard a commotion outside. She got up to investigate and saw several menacing-looking men blocking the doorway. The leader, a burly man with a fierce face, pointed at Lin Jin and yelled, "You little brat, get out of here! Our boss has his eye on this place!" Lin Jin frowned and calmly replied, "I legally purchased this house; I have the property certificate as proof. You can't just take it by force!" The burly man sneered, "Property certificate? In this area, our boss's word is law! If you know what's good for you, move out now, or you'll regret it!" Lin Jin wasn't afraid of them at all!
Just as she was about to use the silver needles, several police officers approached. Upon seeing them, the men turned and ran! Lin Jin quickly put the needles away. The lead officer approached and inquired about the situation. Lin Jin explained the whole story. The officer reassured her, "Don't be afraid, young lady. We will increase patrols in this area and won't let these people cause trouble again." Lin Jin nodded gratefully.
However, the matter did not end there. A few days later, Lin Jin returned from shopping for daily necessities. As soon as she reached the vicinity of the courtyard house, she sensed that someone was following her. She remained calm, quickened her pace back to the courtyard, and just as she closed the door, she heard footsteps fading away outside.
Lin Jin realized the other party wouldn't give up easily, so she decided to take the initiative. Through inquiries, she learned of the so-called "boss's" hideout. Under the cover of night, Lin Jin quietly sneaked in. Using medicinal herbs from her spatial storage, she concocted some sleeping potions, knocking out the people in the hideout before finding the "boss." Lin Jin took out silver needles and coldly looked at him: "If you dare to lay a finger on my house again, these silver needles won't hold back." The "boss" turned pale with fright and begged for mercy repeatedly. From then on, no one dared to harass Lin Jin again.
