Chapter 52 Buying a Three-Story House
After buying clothes, the two strolled leisurely through the streets. Jiang Ruzhen was now wearing the most popular dress styles in the South.
With the addition of the spiritual spring treatments she's been using for the past two weeks, she looks five or six years younger. Walking alongside the completely transformed Lu Mingzheng, they're a truly beautiful sight.
Many people were talking about them, and some students even came over to ask if they were celebrities filming a TV series there.
Jiang Ruzhen shook her head and explained with a smile, while Lu Mingzheng had a stern and arrogant look on his face.
Despite their denials, those people kept asking where she bought the dress she was wearing.
Seeing the growing crowd, Jiang Ruzhen had a sudden inspiration and clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention.
"I sell clothes, and the clothes I wear are all sourced directly from clothing factories in the south."
The man next to me is the factory owner. You can tell from his taste in clothes that my clothes are definitely of good quality and have trendy designs.
Tomorrow, my family and I will be selling goods in front of the washing machine factory and the match factory. Anyone interested should come and check it out!
Everyone was overjoyed to hear this and readily agreed, after which the crowd gradually dispersed.
Jiang Ruzhen was excitedly about to go back to the warehouse to tell the children the good news, while Lu Mingzheng looked at her speechlessly.
"You're really obsessed with money. Even when you go out shopping, you don't forget to promote your own clothes."
"What do you know? I'm using every available resource to advertise myself for free. Wouldn't it be foolish not to take advantage of such a good opportunity?"
Lu Mingzheng pursed his lips. He was forced into this line of work by his mother. He often wanted to quit intermittently and wanted to give up continuously.
He truly admired Jiang Ruzhen's resourcefulness and her spirited, upward-striving attitude.
The thought of leaving soon and not knowing when he would see Jiang Ruzhen again filled him with reluctance.
"By the way, what do you want to do with Zhang Meili? She was charged with attempted crime, so she won't be locked up for more than a few days."
"Oh, then let her go. I don't plan to pursue this further," Jiang Ruzhen replied calmly.
"You're not going to pursue the matter of her harming your eldest son? You're not planning to let her suffer for a few more days?"
Why is Lu Mingzheng so skeptical?
He had unintentionally offended this woman, who then painted his face like a turtle's and used him several times. He tried his best to make amends, but he still couldn't get a smile from her!
What makes Zhang Meili so special?
"You're not planning something big, are you? I'm warning you, I won't allow you to retaliate with any illegal means."
Lu Mingzheng suddenly thought of a possibility and hurriedly reminded Jiang Ruzhen.
Jiang Ruzhen paused for a moment, then impatiently took a few quick steps forward, passing Lu Mingzheng.
"What nonsense are you spouting? I'm a model citizen."
Despite being a model citizen, he had a constant feeling that something bad was about to happen, and he was very uneasy.
"I have some business to attend to in Yangcheng. I'll drive you back in a bit and then leave. Be careful while I'm gone."
If you were to jump into the sea and risk your life again, like this morning, I wouldn't be able to be in two places to save you.
"And~"
Jiang Ruzhen scoffed at his words, "I've lived for forty years, and I didn't even know you before, but I'm still doing just fine."
Don't take yourself too seriously; the world won't stop turning without you.
OK!
He's just wasting his time, and people don't appreciate it at all.
Feeling resentful, Lu Mingzheng drove Jiang Ruzhen back to the warehouse and left without saying a word.
The second son leaned over and whispered to Jiang Ruzhen, "Mom! Why are you bullying Uncle Lu again? Look how angry he is, his face is as black as a ghost."
"How should I know? Is it wrong for him to be on his period?" Jiang Ruzhen inexplicably vented her anger on her second son.
The second son touched his nose, and after being sprayed with saliva, he obediently went back to work.
Jiang Ruzhen told the children about the promotional activities at the department store today, so they could be prepared when they went out to sell goods tomorrow.
The second and fourth sons exchanged a silent glance. Their mother was too formidable; she was practically the ultimate shrewd businesswoman.
Don't miss any opportunity to make money.
They knew why Uncle Lu had looked so sour earlier. The woman he liked was focused on her career and neglecting him; no wonder he was unhappy.
Jiang Ruzhen assigned tasks to the children and then left.
She has more important things to do now. More than half a month has passed, and she needs to find a place in the city as soon as possible.
Ideally, it should be a shop with a courtyard for living quarters.
You should ask the neighborhood aunties for help; they're just wandering around the bustling department store area.
I registered the warehouse location and the village's phone number with the neighborhood auntie.
Soon, the next day someone came to her door and told her that someone was selling a house near the department store, a three-story detached house.
However, the landlord's asking price is very high, it's 15,000 yuan.
Is this for real?
Jiang Ruzhen thought it would be great to be able to rent a larger courtyard, but she didn't expect that there would be an apartment building for sale.
Nowadays, good houses in prime locations are usually occupied by various work units and are used to allocate housing for their employees. Why would they be sold to outsiders?
As the street auntie walked with him, she explained, "The company's business is not doing well. They sold the property to pay the workers' wages. Besides, the families of those people fought tooth and nail over the houses."
The boss got angry and simply decided not to divide it up anymore, and just sold it off to save trouble.
Jiang Ruzhen understood. When she arrived at the house, she walked around upstairs and downstairs and was very satisfied.
The downstairs area is over 200 square meters, which is perfect for a sales area. The second and third floors have a total of eight rooms, which is more than enough for their family to live in.
There are still a few rooms left that can be combined to make a storage room, which is just right.
Moreover, the location is excellent, right within the business district of the train station. The property value here will probably increase more than a hundredfold in the future.
"I'll buy it, sign the contract and pay immediately."
The neighborhood aunties had never seen such a straightforward buyer before; they didn't even haggle over the price.
She didn't know who Jiang Ruzhen was, but since the other party had promised her a hundred yuan as a reward, she didn't care about Jiang's background.
The neighborhood aunties enthusiastically ran around for Jiang Ruzhen, even bringing in the office leader from her workplace, and the two sides quickly reached an agreement.
In less than a morning, the house transfer was completed, and Jiang Ruzhen happily flipped through the bright red property certificate.
This is the first house she bought after her rebirth, and it's worth commemorating.
She took a taxi straight to the warehouse and called the children over to see their new home. The fourth child ran around the house, so excited that he wanted to do somersaults.
"Mom, is this really our new home? It's so close to my school, it only takes me ten minutes to walk there."
"Mom, did we really buy this three-story house? Am I dreaming?" Shen Shuxin cupped her excited face, her eyes filled with joy and surprise.
The second son, who was usually reserved and calculating, was now so excited that his eyes were red.
"Mom, I happen to know someone who works in the renovation industry, so I'll find a renovation team for this house."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you. Don't worry, Mom."
The second child clenched his fists tightly after receiving his mother's approval.
It seems his status in his mother's heart has risen dramatically. Things like this used to be the responsibility of his older brother, but now his mother has entrusted them all to him.
"Also, you can choose the houses yourselves, and you can decide the interior design style yourself," Jiang Ruzhen announced.
"Long live Mom!"
The children jumped and danced, but the eldest stood blankly to the side, as if he were detached and no longer a member of the family.
"Eldest son, the job of supervising the construction is now in your hands. You're the most responsible person in our family. You must make sure the workers do a good job and make our future home beautiful."
Upon hearing this, the eldest brother suddenly turned to look at Jiang Ruzhen, unable to believe his ears.
His mother was still willing to give him a chance to atone for his sins, to reintegrate him into the family, and to let him contribute to the family.
He was so surprised and delighted!
Jiang Ruzhen sighed inwardly, but patted her boss firmly on the shoulder.
"Go for it! Mom believes in you!"
