In that era when it was difficult to travel without a letter of introduction, the two lovers had no choice but to smuggle themselves into Hong Kong. Needless to say, the process was a life-or-death struggle.
The girl died in the sea while smuggling, while the man survived and reached the port city. After a few years, he made a fortune there.
Then he remembered that his mother in his hometown had come and asked someone to bring a message to her, asking her to take the whole family to Hong Kong.
As the saying goes, when one person succeeds, the whole family will prosper. With better development in sight, the family decided to sell their house and homestead here and go to live with their wealthy brother.
After hearing this, Lin Siya pondered. It was only 1978. Could he have legitimately gone to Hong Kong? Could he have also illegally crossed the border? She couldn't bring herself to ask. This was a parallel world. While many historical processes remained the same, there were also subtle changes, some of which she might not be aware of.
"If we buy their house and homestead, will there be any disputes? Will the village agree?"
This is what Lin Siya is most worried about. This house is different from the one she just bought from Uncle Zhao. Uncle Zhao went there to live with his son and is still in the country. If anything happens, she can find him.
This family was essentially going abroad. After all, at that time, Hong Kong had not yet returned to China. It was a nice way to put it, but the most likely possibility was that they were smuggling there, which was a crime.
What if she bought their house and became an accomplice? Thinking of this, she hesitated.
"It's hard to say. Right now, our family has just spread the word that we're going to sell the house, but we don't know the details yet."
"Forget it then. If you find another suitable house, can you contact me again in the next few days?"
"Sure, I still have a few shops. Would you like to take a look?" The middleman expressed his understanding.
When Lin Siya heard this, she immediately became interested and looked at Fu Sinian and said, "Then let's go and take a look?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
The two followed the middleman to see the shops. Several shops were connected together, which completely met her requirements. As for the price, it was definitely not comparable to that of private houses. It was several times more expensive.
Lin Siya calculated the money she had and decided that she could definitely take over these shops.
There are relatively few people selling shops now, and the opportunity is rare. Lin Siya doesn't care why the homeowner sells the house, anyway, there are only a few reasons.
On this side, those who have some connections or some money at home all want to go out and make a fortune.
After working hard for an entire afternoon, they bought the shops. After paying the deposit, they made an appointment with the middleman to pick up the property certificates the next day, and then the two of them returned to the hotel.
After returning to the hotel, they found that Chen Dong and the others had not returned yet, so they rested in the hotel for a while and began to plan for tomorrow.
"I plan to visit the machinery factory and home appliance factory here tomorrow. Do you want to go with me? If you are too tired, you can just rest in the hotel. I will go and get the property certificate." Fu Sinian asked while rubbing Lin Siya's legs.
When Lin Siya heard this, she remembered that she had been thinking about how to get an opportunity to act alone last night, but she didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.
"I'll go get the property ownership certificate. When you go to the factory tomorrow, take Chen Dong and Fang Cheng with you. I won't go. I'll just hang out around here."
"Okay, but be careful when you go out." The city was still quite chaotic at that time, with many robberies, and Fu Sinian was a little worried.
"It's okay. I'll just be walking around. I won't go far. You three should be careful when you go."
Just as the two were chatting, Chen Dong and Fang Cheng came back. They were holding a lot of things in their hands and were sweating profusely. It seemed that they had been to many places.
The four of them sat in the room and talked about what they had gained today, then went out to eat.
According to the current situation, if things go smoothly tomorrow, they will probably be able to go back in a day or two.
To be honest, after being out for a few days, Lin Siya already has some children.
I was thinking of buying some gifts for the children when I go shopping tomorrow, and also buying some more clothes for the elderly at home.
The next day, when Lin Siya got up, Fu Sinian had already left with the other two people and had prepared breakfast for her.
After quickly finishing breakfast and changing clothes, Lin Siya was ready to take action.
It was so hard to get a chance to act alone, so she had to buy everything she needed today. While the sun was not so hot in the morning, Lin Siya first took a taxi to the place she had agreed to meet in the middle to pay the balance of the house and get the property certificate.
The middleman was also very happy to see her coming. He had followed her for a whole day yesterday. Although he was tired and hot, he still gained a lot.
"Mr. Wang, this is the situation. I'm not here anymore, so I'll leave all the house matters to you. Don't touch the house in the village for now. Please help me rent out these shops. The rent will be based on the local market. Also, we won't sign a long-term contract. One year at most, because I don't know when I might need them."
This was what Lin Siya and Fu Sinian had discussed last night. After all, they were not here, and it would be a waste if they bought a house and just left it empty.
Although the rent is not worth much, it is still some income, so the two people agreed to rent out the shop first, not for a long term, but only for a short period of time. In this way, they can use it when the time comes and get it back quickly.
The middleman was even happier when he heard what Lin Siya said. You know, they also get commission for helping customers rent houses.
After signing a house rental certificate with the middleman, Lin Siya asked the middleman where to buy the cheapest and freshest fruits.
The middleman told her a location, which was a freely organized market formed spontaneously by farmers from the surrounding area. It sold local fruits and vegetables at very cheap prices.
There was actually such a good place. Lin Siya asked about the location and took the bus there directly.
It was just past 8:00 in the morning and the sun had already begun to show its power. After arriving at the place, Lin Siya found a public toilet, went in to change her clothes, and put on black-framed glasses. She looked like a powerful purchasing staff.
The place the middleman introduced was really nice, with lots of vegetables and fruits piled up in piles.
Because the weather is too hot, people are afraid that fruits and vegetables will go bad quickly due to the sun, so there is a small awning above each stall. Those who sell things are obviously local farmers.
