Chapter 289 I didn’t buy the house

After getting Lan Raoping’s consent, Shao Jiakang quickly passed the news to Zhou Xue.

Zhou Xue was extremely surprised: “Godmother agreed?”

“Agreed, but what I meant is that she is not willing to pay for the house with her dowry, so the price of the house cannot be set too high. I am afraid that she will regret it at the last minute.”

Zhou Xue thought it made sense, “Anyway, the house will be ours in the end, so the price doesn’t matter. She has a lot of dowry in her hands, and she certainly can’t take it out at once. Let’s take it slowly.”

Shao Jiakang’s eyes were full of distress, “Now the most urgent thing is to get you out first. It must be very hard in there. You look so thin.”

Zhou Xue felt sad when she mentioned this.

After being locked up here for a few days, she was almost mentally collapsed.

"Hurry up and sell the house."

After discussing with Lan Raoping, Shao Jiakang finally decided on a price of 1,800 yuan.

"Who did you ask to transfer the ownership?"

Shao Jiakang's face froze. "Why bother? I can just give you the key."

"I still like to calculate it more clearly. You have already established connections. I think it shouldn't be difficult to transfer the ownership?"

Shao Jiakang pursed his lips. "It's not difficult. You can go directly to Lin Zhikun of the Housing Authority."

He thought about it and felt that it didn't matter whose name it was under.

Anyway, he would find a way to get this house. After

the price was decided, Lan Raoping went to find Jiang Yu and told her the price.

Jiang Yu counted the money in her hand. Without touching the savings in the passbook, she could still take out 1,800 yuan.

It was rare to find a house that could be sold, and she didn't want to miss it.

He Feiyan said, "Sister-in-law, are we going to buy a house?"

"Buy. I've seen this courtyard. It's a three-sided courtyard. That courtyard is much bigger than ours. There are three main rooms alone, and there are several side rooms on the left and right." Even if

their whole family moved in, it wouldn't seem crowded.

He Feiyan muttered, "Why waste this money? We don't live very well here."

"Are you stupid? It's just buying a house, not moving right away."

Jiang Yu just wanted to own this house, and it was impossible to move out in a short time.

"If we don't live in it, why do we buy a house?" He Feiyan asked.

Jiang Yu said angrily, "You three will get married in the future, and you need a place to live when you get married, so you have to prepare it for you in advance."

He Feiyan looked at her blankly, "Prepare it for us?"

A warm current slowly seeped into her heart. Jiang Yu was really good.

"Sister-in-law, why are you so good?"

Jiang Yu smiled. The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. He Feiyan and her two siblings have no parents around, so she has to worry more.

The house transfer went smoothly. After leaving the Housing Authority, Jiang Yu handed the money to Lan Raoping.

"Deputy Section Chief Lan, count it."

Lan Raoping didn't count it and put it in her pocket.

Jiang Yu raised her eyebrows, "Aren't you afraid that I haven't counted enough?"

Lan Raoping laughed, "You're not."

"You've never disliked me, why do you trust me so much today?"

Lan Raoping's smile faded a little, "It's not that I don't like you, it's just that our stance is different."

Who asked Zhou Xue to grow up by her side since she was a child, who asked people's hearts to be biased.

Jiang Yu sighed, "Director Lan has always wanted to see you. Have you visited him?"

Lan Raoping shook her head, "There is no need to contact someone you haven't contacted for a long time."

"But they are your only family."

"Family? My husband is my family."

Jiang Yu pursed her lips, "Have you ever thought that maybe Director Lan's decision to stop you from marrying Director Shao was the right decision."

Lan Raoping sneered, "Don't think that just because I am kind to you, you have the right to talk nonsense in front of me."

Jiang Yu shut up and said no more. If it weren't for Director Lan, she really didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

Lan Raoping got the money and immediately helped Zhou Xue pay the compensation.

Zhou Xue finally came out from inside and cried to Lan Raoping about how difficult it was in there.

Lan Raoping looked at her coldly, "It's not easy to know, don't make the same mistake again in the future."

Zhou Xue pouted, "Mom, I already know I was wrong, don't blame me."

Lan Raoping's expression softened a little, "Forget it, let's go home first."

Shao Jiakang and Zhou Xue did not move.

"Zhou Xue is worried about us, so she won't live at home in the future."

Lan Raoping looked over and asked in confusion, "Did you find a house for her outside?"

"No, I thought that the yard would be hers to live in in the future, anyway, it's empty anyway." Shao Jiakang smiled.

Lan Raoping lowered her eyes, "I forgot to tell you before, I didn't buy the house."

Zhou Xue's face changed drastically, and her voice was sharp, "Mom, what do you mean by this!"

Lan Raoping was dissatisfied with her attitude and frowned slightly.

"I didn't buy the house."

Zhou Xue realized her own gaffe and quickly adjusted her mood.

She clenched her fists and calmed down.

"Fuck, didn't you agree to buy this yard?"

Lan Raoping said in a calm voice: "It's a sale anyway, it doesn't matter who you sell it to?"

Zhou Xue gritted her teeth, of course it's different. If

you sell it to someone else, you can't get this yard back!

"Fuck, if I had known you were selling it to someone else, I would never have sold it so cheaply!"

She hated it in her heart, she spent more than two thousand to buy that yard!

Originally, she thought of taking this opportunity to get money from Lan Raoping, but she didn't expect to lose the yard.

"If it wasn't for the low price, do you think this yard could be sold so quickly? You're probably still squatting inside now."

Lan Raoping was aware of Zhou Xue's resentment, but she was unmoved.

Zhou Xue's complaints were not only directed at Lan Raoping, but also at Shao Jiakang.

If he hadn't been careless, how could their plan have failed?

Shao Jiakang's face became more and more stern, wondering if Lan Raoping did it unintentionally or on purpose.

Could it be that she has already started to guard against him?

"Didn't we agree before that you would use your money to buy it?"

Lan Raoping raised her eyes, "Have you forgotten that we still have a daughter who has not been found."

Shao Jiakang's face froze, "How could it be, of course I remember, but we have been looking for her for so many years, if I can find her, I..."

"It is unknown whether it can be found or not. If you don't insist, how do you know that the child can't be found?"

Lan Raoping has been keeping the money because of this belief.

The moment Shao Jiakang proposed to use her dowry, her heart was cold.

It seemed that she was the only one in the world who still remembered the existence of her daughter.

"Zhou Xue, if you want to live, you can continue to live at home. If you don't want to, it's up to you."

Lan Raoping didn't care, she did everything she could.

Zhou Xue looked at her ruthless back and tears burst out.

"Mom has changed. She wouldn't treat me like this before! Look at her like this, do you think she would be willing to take out the money in her hand? I have been with her for so many years, but it is not as good as that abducted child!"

Shao Jiakang's face was cold, "Stop talking, let's go home first."

"I won't go back!" Zhou Xue turned her face away with a tough attitude.

She insisted on not going home with him, so Shao Jiakang had to put her outside temporarily and arrange a job for her when he found an opportunity.

When Zhou Xue had nothing to do, she would go to Dongmin Lane to wander around and take a look at the yard she had bought before.

If one day she had a flash of inspiration, took out her previous key to unlock it, and it opened with a click.

Her eyes lit up slightly. The lock was not changed?

She couldn't help but wonder, could it be that this yard was bought by Lan Raoping and she deliberately hid it from them.

Otherwise, how come so many days have passed and no one has come to collect the house.

Zhou Xue thought about it again and again, thinking that since no one lives in this yard anyway, she might as well live there. She

immediately asked someone to change the lock and moved in again.

Shao Jiakang soon found out about this, and before he could scold her, Zhou Xue spoke out her thoughts first.

"This yard must have been bought by my godmother. Don't you think, if it was really bought by someone else, why hasn't anyone moved in? Nowadays, who would buy a yard for nothing?"

Shao Jiakang thought it made sense, and he squinted his eyes slightly, his eyes shining.

So, Lan Raoping was really guarding against him.
