As soon as He Fangfang came out, Qian Xiaoni immediately stepped forward and asked curiously: "Fangfang, how is it? Did you get the matter with the manager done?"
"It's done. I haven't been feeling well these past few days. Could you please ask Manager Zheng for a few more days off?"
"Is it serious? You need to get some rest." Fangfang suddenly brought someone over, and I thought it was work-related. It turned out she was just feeling unwell and taking sick leave. Fangfang is a nice person, and I don't want to change her partner.
"I'll be fine after a few days of rest. Thank you. I will."
He Fangfang and Jiang Shushu returned to He Fangfang's home.
"Sister Fangfang, don't worry. I will keep my family's work secret for the time being."
"Thank you, Shushu."
Jiang Shushu took out 700 yuan from his bag and handed it to He Fangfang: "Sister Fangfang, this is 700 yuan, count it."
He Fangfang took the money and counted it, "Yes, it's 700." Then both parties signed the agreement, indicating that they had received the money, and their transaction was officially completed.
The work issue is settled, so now the only thing left is the house. As long as I buy the house, I will be a successful person with both a house and a job. Then I can buy a bicycle, and then I will be a winner in life with a house, a car, and savings. Then I will live a very enjoyable life.
"Sister Fangfang, you and your brother-in-law are going to join the army. Are you selling your house? Or renting it out?" The room in He Fangfang's house is quite big, about 30 square meters (although it is divided into two small rooms), and it is on the edge of the compound, so it is relatively quiet. It is quite good to find such a big house in the city.
He Fangfang looked a little embarrassed. "Shushu, I'm sorry, I can't sell or rent this house to you. This house is my home with my husband and my adoptive father. I won't sell it. As for renting it, I promised Grandma Jin a year ago that if I go to join the army, I will give her priority in renting the house."
"It's okay. A man should keep his word. I understand. I'll try to look for her again. It's okay if I can't find her. It's not very late after get off work anyway. I can ask my family to pick her up." When Jiang Shushu heard that there was no hope, he didn't insist too much. The Jin family and the He family were separated by a wall. If he dug into Grandma Jin's corner, he would probably not be able to live here in peace. He would not do such a thankless task.
"Sister Fangfang, how much would a house as big as yours cost in the city?" She wondered if the 300 yuan she had left would be enough.
"It depends on the location and the quality of the house. Busier areas are more expensive, while more secluded areas are cheaper. The same goes for rooms: good ones are more expensive, while bad ones are cheaper. For example, the room I'm staying in now would cost about 400 yuan outside."
A 30-square-meter house costs 400 yuan, and the 300 yuan I have in my pocket is not enough. If I want to buy a better house, it will cost at least 700 or 800 yuan. I need to find some money. Go to the black market to sell a gold bar? No, the black market is too dangerous. I don't know if I can get out safely after entering. Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is best not to go to the black market.
Jiang Shushu saw the stack of money he had just given out of the corner of his eye, then glanced at He Fangfang, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.
I have no money, but He Fangfang has money. I can earn back the money I give out, and then I will have enough money to buy a house. I have Nine Heavens Mysterious Deer Milk, and He Fangfang happened to be sick and infertile. I cured her illness and she paid for my medical expenses, which was just right.
I had to think carefully about how I could use the Nine Heavens Mysterious Deer Milk in a legitimate way, getting the money without getting myself into trouble.
"Thank you Sister Fangfang for telling me this. Houses are quite expensive. I just got a job. I will go home and discuss the house matter with my parents." I will come back tomorrow and earn back the money I gave out.
"Okay, go home tonight and discuss it with your parents. If you want to rent or buy a place, I have nothing to do these days, so I can help you find out where there are houses for rent or sale."
"Thank you, Sister Fangfang."
Jiang Shushu changed back into his own clothes and left the chicken to He Fangfang before leaving. "Sister Fangfang, I'll leave this chicken for you to make soup. You fell into the water today and need to make up for it." He would earn back the money he gave away tomorrow, so he had to leave a chicken for her to make up for it.
He Fangfang quickly postponed the offer. Shushu had not only saved her, but she had also offered her a job without asking for a penny. How could she possibly accept her prostitute again? "That's unacceptable! Take it back now! You saved me today, so it stands to reason that I should be the one giving you something..."
"Sister Fangfang, please take it quickly. Don't you know how important your job is to me? I treat you as an older sister. What's wrong with me, your younger sister, giving you a chicken? Accept it, otherwise I will be embarrassed to ask you to help me find a house tomorrow. See you tomorrow," Jiang Shushu said and left without even taking the basket.
He Fangfang looked at the tender white chicken, tears of emotion streaming down her face. "Shushu is such a nice person. It's such a blessing for me to have met her in this life."
Jiang Shushu left He Fangfang's house and immediately walked towards the ox cart. On the way, he found a secluded place, took out a pound of pork belly and the black bag prepared by Xu Hehua from the small space, and put the pork belly into the bag.
When Jiang Shushu arrived, there was only one empty space on the ox cart, so he hurried over.
Fortunately I made it in time, otherwise I would have to walk back. I have been running all day and am very tired. I don’t want to walk another 8km.
It was already 4:30 in the afternoon when Jiang Shushu returned home, and he saw that Xu Hehua was the only one at home.
"Mom, I'm back. Here, this is the meat I bought."
Xu Hehua reached out to take it and immediately felt the weight was wrong. She shook it deliberately, then quickly opened the bag and saw a large piece of pork belly. Her eyes widened, "Oh my God! Why is there so much meat?"
"Mom, I went to the city today and met an old lady. She's the grandmother of my former classmate. She said her family has twelve people and can't eat so much meat. Half a catty is enough. So I spent 70 cents to exchange it for a meat ticket worth seven taels. I bought a catty of meat, and we can have a good meal today."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Today is your birthday, so you have the final say." Xu Hehua spent 70 cents to buy 7 taels of meat tickets. To be honest, Xu Hehua felt a little distressed when she heard this. After all, pork belly was only 70 cents per pound. But when she thought about her daughter who had worked hard in the fields for so many days, and today was her daughter's birthday, she didn't spoil the fun.
"I'm going to tell you and Dad some great news during dinner tonight. I guarantee you'll be happy."
"What good news can't be told now?" Xu Hehua said with a smile.
