He looked up, adjusted his glasses, and exclaimed excitedly, "My God! Do you know how valuable this room is for research?"
"This is a Song Dynasty building! It's amazing that it's been preserved! It's a treasure!"
Everyone was immediately shocked, "A treasure?"
He was a researcher studying ancient architecture, specializing in studying old houses. Suddenly, he remembered an old house in his hometown that looked like a historical site.
Researcher Chen immediately went over excitedly and knocked on the door, but Liu Nian happened to be away at that moment.
After Su Xu went to work, Liu Nian rode her bicycle to the county town. She wanted to tidy up the house properly, but she realized she was still short of money. Although she had a considerable amount of money in her personal account on her phone, it only supported online transactions.
So Liu Nian used his phone to buy some things in the system and then exchanged them for money on the black market.
In his previous life, Liu Nian came here often and knew the way very well.
Liu Nian brought out some very common fruits and vegetables, but one old lady only glanced at them and immediately decided, "I'll take them all, and you can bring them to me once a day from now on!"
The things Liu Nian brought all looked fresh and delicious, and tasted better than everyone else's.
"Okay!" Liu Nian quickly handed over the items and said, "If you want anything else in the future, just let me know in advance and I'll prepare it for you."
The old woman said she worked as a nanny for a high-ranking official, but she had ulterior motives. She could buy things on the black market without coupons so she could save them up for her family.
During their conversation, Liu Nian mentioned that he was from Jiangjuntun. The old woman asked in surprise, "Jiangjuntun? Isn't there a Su family in Jiangjuntun who came back from the county town?"
“Yes.” Liu Nian nodded. “The Su family is my husband’s family, and Su Xu is my boyfriend.”
The old woman's eyes reddened with emotion. She grabbed Liu Nian's hand, wiping away her tears as she said, "You're married! You're actually married!"
Liu Nian was also happy, not expecting to run into an acquaintance. She tentatively asked, "Are you an acquaintance of my in-laws?"
The old woman was taken aback. "Husband and wife?"
"Yes, my father-in-law is Su Zhenye, and my mother-in-law is Wang Xiuzhi."
As soon as Liu Nian finished speaking, the old lady's expression changed immediately.
With a gloomy face, the old woman gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Pah! Come on, take me back to General's Village, I'm going to meet some acquaintances!"
What's going on?
Although Liu Nian was also confused, she thought it must be a matter for the older generation and not something she could interfere with, so she didn't ask. Instead, she took the old lady back to Jiangjuntun on her bicycle.
As soon as he entered the village, several villagers waved anxiously at Liu Nian, saying, "You'd better hurry home and check on your family, something has happened to them!"
"Auntie, don't worry, let me go take a look first." Liu Nian had no choice but to turn a corner and hurry home.
The old woman didn't say anything, her face was sullen and she remained silent, no one knew what she was plotting.
A crowd had gathered at the entrance. As Liu Nian pushed her cart closer, Researcher Chen immediately came over.
"Are you the owner of this house now?" Researcher Chen pushed up his glasses.
Liu Nian nodded and said, "Yes, I just bought the land for the house yesterday."
Researcher Chen pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, I'll trade you my house. This house is a historical site and must be well preserved!"
Upon hearing this, the onlookers were immediately stunned.
Researcher Chen's house was right next to the educated youth settlement. It was a three-room brick house with two side rooms, a Beijing-style flat! It was built in the style of a small courtyard house in Beijing, and it was very impressive. This kind of house is called a Beijing flat, facing north, and it is warm in winter and cool in summer.
Before Liu Nian could even put down the car, Researcher Chen excitedly pulled her directly to the front of his house, saying, "We'll get the paperwork done right away! This house is yours from now on! We're not going to live there anyway!"
"But that's a historical site, it's very valuable for research!"
Liu Nian nodded, and was about to say something when Researcher Chen interrupted her again, "Please prepare the formalities as soon as possible so we can change the ownership of the homestead."
Liu Nian hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay."
Then, she signed the agreement and pressed her fingerprint on it. Liu Nian sighed; it seemed she would have to move again.
The old woman who had come back from the county town with Liu Nian remained silent, looking around nervously. After Liu Nian finished the formalities, he said apologetically to the old woman, "Auntie, you see, things were rushed. I didn't even have time to take you to see my parents-in-law."
The old woman smiled nonchalantly, "It's alright, you go about your business, we'll see each other soon anyway."
...
Liu Nian happily went to call Su Xu and her family to help with the move.
"How come Liu Nian is so lucky?" a group of people said with envy.
"The day before yesterday, Liu Nian caught several big fish in the river, and today he's moved into a big house!"
Zhang Suzhen was genuinely happy for her sister, but gave them a cold look. "I don't know who said that haunted house is uninhabitable and will affect one's luck! They're afraid someone will die a violent death inside!"
"And the result? My sister was incredibly lucky!"
Those who once said they were going to laugh at Liu Nian have completely shut their mouths. They didn't get to laugh at her, and now they only feel ashamed.
After packing up the haunted house and using yesterday's carriage, Liu Nian arrived at the new house amidst envious glances from everyone.
As it turned out, Wang Xiuzhi was waiting at the door with several packages in her arms, smiling broadly.
Liu Nian got off the carriage and smiled slightly. So, they had come to take over her house.
