"I'll go and find out for you, and I'll let you know when I find out," Qian Liulin said. He hadn't paid attention to this kind of news before.
However, he has many friends, so asking around wouldn't be difficult for him.
"Okay, thank you in advance, Brother Qian. I'll treat you to a meal later." Song Lili waved her hand.
"OK"
After asking Qian Liulin for help, Song Lili felt relieved. However, she didn't stay idle and would still try to find him whenever she had time, but with little success.
It was half a month later when Song Lili received a message from Qian Liulin; Qian Liulin came to her house looking for her.
"I made some inquiries, and there really isn't anyone selling houses around here. These are all family-owned properties, and they're generally not sold."
"Ah... I see." Song Lili was somewhat disappointed, not expecting this outcome.
What should we do then?
Should we look elsewhere? But we're used to living here, so why move again?
Qian Liulin looked at Song Lili's sudden dejection with amusement. "I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
Surprisingly, Lili has become more childlike now.
"Then hurry up and tell me, this is really testing a person's heart." Song Lili was unhappy. How could she be happy if she couldn't find a house?
"However, we can try to negotiate for the house you're currently living in. But what are your thoughts? Are you satisfied with this house?"
"If you're satisfied, I can go and ask if this house is for sale," Qian Liulin said with a smile.
Song Lili was excited, her eyes shining as she looked at Qian Liulin. "Really? You can really persuade him?"
Actually, she really likes this place; otherwise, she wouldn't have rented it. It's because she likes it.
However, thinking that the owner of this house should not be short of money, I did not consider buying this house.
But now that Qian Liulin has said this, does that mean it's possible? How could she not be excited?
Qian Liulin didn't need to ask Song Lili for her opinion anymore, because her behavior had already given him the answer.
He nodded. "It's true. That family has quite a lot of property, all inherited from their ancestors. This place was taken away for two or three years before it was returned."
“I think they should be able to let go of it,” Qian Liulin said.
The two families are quite familiar with each other, so Qian Liulin knew the situation well enough to dare to say that.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Qian. Could you ask around for me? I really love this house, and it would be wonderful if I didn't have to move."
Song Lili never expected such a surprise; it was truly... truly delightful.
Having learned of Song Lili's attitude, Qian Liulin left again.
Fearing it would all be for nothing, Song Lili didn't dare tell anyone else, only asking Zhang Qinghua, "Do you think Brother Qian can persuade the landlord?"
"If Qian Liulin really said that, then he must be quite confident, otherwise he wouldn't have said it."
Zhang Qinghua knew Qian Liulin quite well; he wouldn't speak definitively without certainty.
Since that's what they've said, then the possibility is very high.
"If that's the case, that's wonderful. I really like this house," Song Lili said, nestled in Zhang Qinghua's arms.
"However, I think the price of this house must be quite high, probably several thousand or even tens of thousands." This was Song Lili's conservative estimate, but it wasn't accurate either.
After all, she didn't know anything about current housing prices; it was just her guess.
"Is it okay?" Zhang Qinghua looked at Song Lili, feeling a little uneasy.
This house purchase was originally his responsibility, but unexpectedly, it ended up being done by Lili.
He's a rather unsuccessful man.
When Song Lili looked up, she saw the bitterness on Zhang Qinghua's face and quickly hugged him tightly.
With a quick glance, he probably got the gist of it.
She pretended to be nonchalant and said, "I bought this as an investment. I'm very optimistic about this sector, and I might be able to make money in the future."
"After we graduate from university, you have to give me another home, one that you bought for me. Only then will I be happy." After saying that, she gave Zhang Qinghua a slightly domineering look.
Zhang Qinghua was deeply moved, but his face showed only helplessness. "Don't worry, I'll buy it for you."
My heart is filled with gratitude and contentment, not discomfort. With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?
Song Lili breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the woman was stronger than the man, she still had to consider Zhang Qinghua's feelings.
Although, sometimes Zhang Qinghua doesn't need it.
Song Lili went to school without worry, and every day she looked forward to news of Qian Liulin.
But Qian Liulin suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if he had vanished into thin air, leaving no trace whatsoever.
Song Lili was so anxious that she almost went to Qian Liulin's workplace to ask him for the answer, but in the end, Zhang Qinghua stopped her.
"Don't go. If there's any news, Qian Liulin will definitely tell you. The fact that there's been no news for so long means either the landlord isn't selling, or Qian Liulin is too busy to ask or doesn't have time to tell you."
"Just wait a few days. If there's still no news, you can ask again later." Otherwise, it wouldn't be good to bother Qian Liulin.
Song Lili thought about it and agreed, so she suppressed her impatience and waited for another half month.
And so, half a semester passed, and summer arrived. The weather got hot, and we wore fewer clothes.
The business at the hot pot restaurant has stabilized, and the daily customer flow is fluctuating within a certain range.
After observing her, Song Lili promoted Qiao Lin to manager, in charge of the waiters in the lobby.
In the kitchen, seeing that Sister Gong did a good job and that everyone listened to her, they let Sister Gong take charge of the kitchen.
Then, she hired an accountant and had the two young men in the store take charge of purchasing, and then she completely let go of the reins.
I just went to the store for a quick look and then went back.
At this moment, Song Lili suddenly felt a little bored.
At school, she can study with everyone, but even if she wants to play or chat, she can't find anyone.
But it gets a bit boring at home.
The Zhang brothers were busy studying all day, and she didn't want to bother them.
Lin Xue was busy with her own business and didn't have time to talk to her. Zhang Shengtian was happily doing his work every day, while she was the only one who was so bored she was practically growing mold.
I didn't feel it when I was busy every day, but now that I have free time, I feel that the days are too long and too hard to pass, and I can never wait for it to get dark.
Then she went to wander around the hot pot restaurant, but there seemed to be nothing she could do. All the employees in the restaurant took over and did everything in an orderly manner. Sometimes, Qiao Lin even complained that she was making trouble.
She could only watch, and then feel bored.
This made Song Lili wonder if she should find something else to pass the time.
