Chu Xi, a "three-no" person, was currently strolling the streets with Little Stone. Although there wasn't much to see, with no street vendors or shops, there were only so-called "state-owned" bicycle repair shops and barber shops afar...
However, Chu Xi did hear a topic that interested her today. She met two aunties with their grandchildren at the entrance of an alley.
"His second aunt, have you heard? After these two or three years of turmoil, Li Tao and his wife from the alley behind us have finally divorced. Oh, what a sin! Two such young children are now without a mother. It will be difficult for them in the future!"
"Yeah, I heard that woman is a bit dishonest. I wonder if she hooked up with that rich guy again. Sigh, it's better to divorce her as soon as possible! I think it's better for her to divorce. She doesn't have the heart for that family anyway."
"But I heard that woman just left without even looking at the two young children. What a heartless person!"
"Yeah, and they say that nice house is going to be sold. It's said that the man got a transfer through some connections. I don't know where he's been transferred to, but it's better for him to leave. It saves me from thinking about that restless woman..."
Hearing about the nice house, Chu Xi suddenly wanted to go and see it. It was not convenient to stay in a guesthouse every time he came to Chaoyang City. It would be nice to buy a house and stay there occasionally. Besides, he had money anyway, and he might be able to make a lot of money from this house in the future.
This wealthy man just lets everything go as it comes, even if it is buying a house, which is a goal that ordinary people work hard for their whole lives.
Chu Xi was walking slowly with Xiao Shitou, thinking about the problem of the house. She turned around and walked towards the two aunts with Xiao Shitou.
Both aunties are old, and their faces are covered with wrinkles early on. They must have worked hard and worried a lot when they were young. However, they are still dressed cleanly and simply, but without the patches on top of patches that are common in their hometowns in the countryside.
When Chu Xi came closer, she took out a few pieces of White Rabbit milk candy from her bag, actually from the space, and gave one to Xiao Shitou first, and then handed them to the children with the two aunts. White Rabbit milk candy is a good thing these days.
The two aunts had just seen this incredibly pretty young woman approaching with her child and had been talking absentmindedly. Seeing Chu Xi's actions, they were even more puzzled. They had never seen this person before. She was beautiful and generous. But looking at the beautifully packaged candy, they felt guilty and thought that this young woman probably had something to ask of them...
"Auntie, hello, I'm from Jianping County. My husband just got transferred here for work, and I'm looking for a house. I just happened to come across you guys saying you have a house for sale, so I wanted to inquire..."
Chu Xi's charming big eyes that seemed to be able to speak made the two aunts call the woman who walked out of the painting, like a fairy, and they answered quickly.
"Then you've made the right choice. There's nothing in this area we don't know. We're old acquaintances."
"The house you're asking about is in the back alley. I heard the owner is in a hurry, so if you go there now, you might be able to take it over easily. Come on, we'll take you there..."
Chu Xi couldn't help but sigh at the enthusiasm of people in this era. Of course, it might also be that they were just bored. If they really accomplished this, wouldn't they have something to brag about when they returned?
"Okay, thank you both aunties. I was just about to ask the neighborhood committee. With your help, I can save a lot of trouble." You still have to tell the lie, otherwise there may be some inexplicable trouble later.
Nice words don't cost money, so Chu Xi was naturally willing to do so. After hearing this, the two aunts walked even more cheerfully.
The six people, three big and three small, soon arrived at a courtyard. Chu Xi liked the courtyard with its own door and gate the most. The surroundings were relatively quiet and not too close to the main road, which was exactly what she wanted.
“Knock knock knock…”
"Li Tao, Li Tao, are you home? We have good news for you, open the door quickly."
The two men should be quite familiar with the owner of the house, or they may just be outgoing.
The door creaked open from the inside, and a child of five or six years old poked his head out.
"Hello, Grandma Li and Grandma Wang. My father is not home right now and will be back soon..."
At this moment, a timid little girl poked her head out. Her innocent and cute little head was tied with a crooked braid. It looked like it might have been done by a careless man. Although he had some intention, he was just powerless to do anything about it. Chu Xi could imagine the funny look on a grown man's face as he frowned over his daughter's wisps of hair...
After hearing the child's words, Chu Xi thought her trip was in vain and prepared to leave. However, Aunt Li grabbed Chu Xi's hand, making the unprepared Chu Xi almost ready to fight. However, her rough and weathered hand was really a bit prickly...
"Come on, come on, let's take a look at the house first. I tell you, this house is really nice! You look kind, so you must be someone you can get along with. That's why I brought you here. Otherwise, I wouldn't bring anyone here."
Chu Xi passively walked into the yard, not being polite at all, even though the adults in the yard were not at home...
