"How much money do you have?" Bling asked in return.
After stammering for a while, Jiang Sheng said, "Three hundred and twenty yuan."
"Deal!" Bling declared decisively.
"I know it's a little, but it's all I have... What?" Jiang Sheng's eyes widened in surprise.
“I said it’s a deal!” Bling repeated once more.
Overjoyed, Jiang Sheng was clearly stunned. After a while, he came to his senses and said excitedly, "I...I thank you, Comrade Bu Ling."
As he spoke, he opened his cotton-padded coat and took out a wad of money from his inner pocket.
You could tell he was telling the truth. Among the money were ten-yuan bills and one-cent coins, all in small, pitiful pieces.
Holding a handful of messy money, Jiang Sheng felt a little embarrassed. He quickly sorted out the money and notes before handing them to Bu Ling.
"Keep the money for now, you can give it to me after we complete the transfer at the local government office tomorrow." Bu Ling didn't take it.
"Great, great, great!" Jiang Sheng was overjoyed.
Sister Xiaolian is coming back, but his mother refuses to let her move in. Sister Xiaolian's previous room is already occupied by someone else, so he has no choice but to think of another way.
It's impossible for Sister Xiaolian to come back with nowhere to stay.
However, over the years, his salary has been used to support his two sons, send things to Sister Xiaolian, and his mother has been taking a portion of it from time to time, leaving him with very little.
He has over 300 yuan now, but that's after he got an advance of three months' salary from his employer.
After receiving the money, he inquired around, but the rental properties were either chaotic or pitifully small and ridiculously expensive, and he couldn't find a suitable one.
He figured that when Sister Xiaolian came back, he would definitely have to bring his son to live with her, so a child who was too young wouldn't do.
So, after searching high and low without finding the right person, he finally got anxious because Sister Xiaolian will be home in a few days.
I figured it would be expensive if I paid more, but I still had to rent a place.
However, fate was so kind to him that he encountered Bu Ling selling her house. Seeing Bu Ling angrily leaving Old Wang's house, he finally mustered up the courage to go up and ask her what was going on.
He had no hope, but to his surprise, Bling agreed.
Then he remembered that when Sister Xiaolian had her accident, Buling and Brother Xiaosang were the only ones who lent him a helping hand.
Jiang Sheng was heartbroken.
At this moment, the way he looked at Bu Ling was even more affectionate than that of a family member.
Noticing Jiang Sheng's gaze, Bu Ling quickened her pace, subtly rubbing her arms until goosebumps covered her skin!
By the time everything was finished, it was completely dark.
Without delay, Bling went to the backyard.
"Sister Xiangru, I'll be going now. We'll sign the agreement tomorrow."
“Okay.” Ming Xiangru agreed, “Buling, have some food before you go.” She tried to persuade her to stay.
Bu Ling waved her hand: "Forget it, seeing Aunt Qi's face makes my stomach hurt."
When she came over just now, Aunt Qi, with a sullen face, kept staring at her from the side.
Ming Xiangru chuckled: "Alright, then I'll treat you to a state-run restaurant tomorrow."
"It's a deal, make sure you bring enough money."
Ming Xiangru glared at her: "You'll get your share."
The beauty's expression, tinged with anger, possessed a unique charm.
Bling's bones almost melted from that angry look.
"Brother Qi is so lucky!" she exclaimed.
Ming Xiangru blushed slightly upon hearing this, and saw the figure in the yard through the window: "Stop sighing, your man has come to pick you up."
Following her gaze, Bu Ling saw the person walking in the moonlight outside, and couldn't help but smile: "Sister Xiang Ru, I'll be going now."
"Let's go, let's go."
The next morning.
Bu Ling first went to the street office in the compound to sign the transfer agreement with Jiang Sheng, and then went to the housing management office to transfer the house to him.
Ming Xiangru's belongings had all been cleaned up in the house, leaving only the kang (heated brick bed) and the stove.
After the transfer was completed, Jiang Sheng looked at his own property certificate and was overjoyed, thanking Bu Ling profusely.
After the transfer of ownership was completed, Bu Ling took Ming Xiangru home and showed her the house.
Only after she expressed her satisfaction did they take her to the neighborhood office to sign the rental agreement.
At Ying Buling's request, the rental agreement was signed for two years, and the rent for two years was paid in one lump sum.
Ming Xiangru had no objections and readily paid two years' rent.
Bu Ling accepted the money and said, "Sister Xiang Ru, you can move in today."
Ming Xiangru was naturally even happier, but then asked, "What will you do if we move in?"
"We're not in a hurry. We can move it after you leave."
Bling knew she meant well, and pointed to the next room: "We live over there, and that place is ours too."
Ming Xiangru looked in the direction she was pointing. "The house next door belongs to you too?"
Bling nodded.
Ming Xiangru couldn't wait: "Rent it?"
Bling shook his head.
Seeing that Ming Xiangru was somewhat disappointed, she added, "We won't rent it out for now. We'll find a tenant when we're about to leave."
Upon hearing this, Ming Xiangru excitedly grabbed Bu Ling's arm: "Bu Ling, what do you think of Wan Qing?"
"Is Sister Wanqing also going to rent a place?" Buling asked.
“You’re right. You saw what my husband is like yesterday. It’s impossible to live under the same roof with her,” Ming Xiangru couldn’t help but complain.
Thinking of Aunt Qi, whom I saw last night, Bu Ling wholeheartedly agreed.
Looking at that face every day will shorten your lifespan by ten years.
"Shall I take you to see the place next door?"
Ming Xiangru's eyes lit up: "Let's go!"
After saying that, she took the initiative and pulled Buling to the next room.
The layout of the house next door was exactly the same as hers, and Ming Xiangru was very satisfied. "I'll ask Wanqing about it when I get back."
Bling nodded: "Okay."
In the afternoon, Ming Xiangru brought Qin Wanqing again and showed her the house.
As expected, Qin Wanqing was very satisfied and signed the two-year agreement without hesitation.
Before renting the house, Bu Ling told her that she could only move in after she moved out, but Qin Wanqing said that was no problem.
If I can find a place that suits my taste, even if I have to see that old face for a few more days, it's all worth it.
At this point, Bu Ling had almost finished dealing with his affairs in Gu County.
The next few days were spent packing up bedding, pots and pans, and other items from here and shipping them to Kyoto.
Everything went smoothly for her, and things went very smoothly for the mulberry business as well.
His job is rather unusual; there are requirements for selling, including having to be a high school graduate.
He simply swapped his job for a logistics position, which he successfully sold for 950 yuan.
We've also spoken to the Little Star Nursing Home.
The bedding and other items have also been sent.
I've said goodbye to all my friends and colleagues.
With things mostly settled in Gu County, it was time for the Buling family to leave. Eight days had passed since they received the transfer order.
Sangshen bought train tickets for the day after tomorrow: "Lingling, let's take Xiaoxing around the county town tomorrow. We probably won't be coming back often after this."
Bling paused for a moment, then said, "Okay."
