"When will this event stop?" Sun Lifang asked.
She wanted to buy it; every cell in her body was screaming, "Buy, buy! This is a great opportunity to make money!"
Sun Lifang didn't answer the driver's question about why she didn't buy the house. She knew very well that if she told her husband or mother-in-law that she wanted to buy a house, they would just think she was crazy.
Without making money, there's no say; she's determined to buy this house!
"It's not clear yet. Policies change every day. Xiao Sun, if you want me to, I can ask around for you."
Wang Heng had just mentioned it casually; he had made a habit of selling things, but he didn't expect Sun Lifang to accept his suggestion.
In a short period of time, Sun Lifang's personality changed drastically, becoming completely different from the sensitive and suspicious Sun Lifang of the past.
He narrowed his small eyes suspiciously: "Really? You're not kidding me?"
"No, when have I ever lied to you?"
Wang Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief and found a promotional poster for her: "Your teacher's wife's phone number is on this. Contact her to view the apartment, remember?"
Sun Lifang was practically dying of laughter at her master's words, "Okay, okay, I'll remember!"
"Take a good vacation these few days. I need to see you at the beginning of next month. Don't be late!"
Sun Lifang readily agreed, but as she walked out of the building, she was still thinking about the house and figuring out ways to make money.
My husband's family owns a house, a car, and savings, but none of these are mine, so I can't touch them.
When one door closes, another opens. Sun Lifang did not lose heart. She had previously saved up her salary to buy a small, old apartment. As long as she worked hard to achieve good sales results, even if she couldn't afford a big house, she could at least make a down payment on a small room.
Since she had nothing better to do, Sun Lifang sent a message to the [Zhiyuan] software asking, "When will tasks be assigned?"
The software has not responded.
Sun Lifang sent several messages in a row, looking restless.
Walk to the entrance of the Laiya Building in Xinjiekou, a famous shopping center in Shanghai.
She took her daughter's hand and went inside.
I only realized today when I went out and rummaged through the closet that my daughter doesn't have many clothes. She stays at home all day and doesn't go out to socialize, so she just wears the same two outfits in rotation.
Suddenly, the wristwatch vibrated, and Sun Lifang walked to the side, turned her back, and turned to open it.
A friend request popped up on the circular screen. A user named "Xiao Yan" was asking to add her as a friend.
The system notification indicates that orders will be assigned based on her location, and customer Xiaoyan's request will be linked to Sun Lifang.
Just after the request was approved, Xiao Yan sent a message: "Are you currently in the Laiya Building in 1998?"
Sun Lifang looked up to confirm the geographical marker, took a picture of the English-style pendulum clock behind the counter, and sent it to her.
The sales assistant at the counter was also captured in the photo, wearing a women's suit that was popular in the 1990s.
A few minutes later, Xiaoyan suddenly lost contact.
Just as Sun Lifang was about to contact customer service, messages started flooding in one after another—
"Take two photos of the cabinet for me!!! I'm willing to pay extra!"
"May I take a picture of the woman with the white headband?"
"By the way, do you know someone named Liu Chang?"
"..."
Sun Lifang was curious and replied, "I don't know her. Please tell me your needs first so I can help you after I understand the situation."
Xiao Yan typed extremely fast, and instructed—
"I am Liu Chang's daughter. Today in 1998 is the day my parents got their marriage certificate. I hope you can help me stop my mother from stealing my household registration book to get the certificate. Tell her never to get pregnant before marriage, to stick to her principles, and to listen to her maternal grandparents. Never marry my father for love, without asking for a house, a car, or a dowry. Bah! He is not good enough for my mother!"
Sun Lifang found it strange, "If your parents hadn't gotten married, you wouldn't have come into this world!"
No one would extinguish their own existence unless they didn't want to live anymore.
Suddenly, she remembered the scar on her daughter's wrist—
Before Sun Lifang could retract her message, Xiaoyan sent a message: "I didn't choose to be born. If I could, I wish my mother hadn't given birth to me, so she wouldn't have suffered so much..."
"Marrying my dad ruined my maternal grandparents' whole family. My dad lied to her, saying that as long as she got pregnant, my grandfather wouldn't make things difficult for him by asking for a dowry. My mom, being sentimental, really believed him. Because she married my mom, my grandfather, feeling sorry for his daughter, gave her a house without asking for a dowry and even helped them out. I never expected that 'scumbag' to be so ungrateful! Whenever my mom envies others, he says: 'This is your own choice, what are you complaining about now? My mom did all this for me...'"
"Never mind, I'll tell you the rest after you finish the task."
Sun Lifang: "Okay, so what do I need to do?"
Xiao Yan: "I'll send you the relevant information."
Soon, she sent over her maternal grandparents' home address, family background, and the story of how Liu Chang met her father. Finally, she also sent a photo of a man and a woman that had been reattached together with transparent tape.
Xiao Yan: "Remember this man's face, don't let him succeed! What time is it where you are?"
Sun Lifang glanced at her watch and asked doubtfully, "It's past five o'clock, shouldn't the Civil Affairs Bureau be closed by now?"
Xiaoyan: "It'll happen either today or tomorrow! This man has pulled some strings, just waiting for my mom to go back and get the household registration book to set her up! She's going to go back and steal the book after get off work, please, please stop her! Don't let her do anything stupid!"
Sun Lifang sensed something was wrong. If she succeeded in stopping it, the future Xiao Yan would not exist, and the order would also disappear. Having discovered the loophole, she quickly went to ask the system.
[Zhiyuan]: "The employer has paid the deposit for this order. The settlement will be completed immediately upon successful completion of the task."
this...
"What if I fail the mission?" Will she be sent back immediately?
Sun Lifang was filled with anxiety; she hadn't yet fulfilled her wish to live life to the fullest.
The system didn't reply to her.
Holding the information Xiao Yan gave her, Sun Lifang walked towards the person in the photo.
The manager of the cosmetics store wore a yellow suit, the cut of which would still be fashionable even in later years.
She came over with a smile, her voice sweet and soft, very pleasant to listen to. The two chatted for a while about skincare tips.
The store manager's name is Liu Chang. His family acquired the brand's agency rights, and he is also a new Shanghainese.
She is beautiful and gentle, radiating a warm aura.
Over time, the two became quite familiar with each other. To Liu Chang's surprise, this stranger shared the same hobbies as her. She asked him to guess her favorite celebrity, and he was able to answer correctly.
"My goodness, we're so destined to meet, don't you think?"
Sun Lifang smiled without saying a word, quite satisfied with Liu Chang's outgoing nature, and lowered the difficulty level.
After paying, she specifically asked Liu Chang to deliver the goods.
Liu Chang was busy helping her colleagues, going wherever anyone called her. Sun Lifang didn't rush her, just sat there smiling and waiting.
The "good Samaritan" finally finished her work. She checked the time and realized she could deliver the goods back in time.
How far along are you in your pregnancy?
"In the car," Liu Chang asked.
"Two months," Sun Lifang said casually, looking at Liu Chang's innocent face. "Do you prefer a boy or a girl?"
"Of course it's a girl! Just like your daughter, beautiful and well-behaved."
"If only I could have a daughter..." Liu Chang murmured, glancing at the little girl in the rearview mirror.
