Chapter 67 Buying a House
At this time, the head of Sanhe Village was also called over. The head's wife grabbed Li Juan's hair and started cursing: "Okay, you little bitch, I've known for a long time that you are not a good person. You can only coax my son. You little bitch, I'll beat you to death." As she spoke, she took off her shoes and slapped Li Juan on the head.
Li Juan was hiding and crying, it was over, it was all over.
"Okay, okay, now that things have come to this, don't be angry. Fortunately, your son hasn't married her yet." The aunt on the side quickly grabbed the village chief's wife, fearing that she would beat people to death again.
The villagers on the side also clamored to drive Li Juan out of the village, saying that such a person would ruin the feng shui of their village.
Finally, the village made a decision: either send Li Juan back to the Youth League Office for labor reform, or marry the old bachelor and start a family, letting her choose for herself.
You have to know that if the educated youth did something bad and were sent back to the educated youth office, they would be sent to more remote places for labor reform, which was basically hard labor that no one could endure, and in all likelihood they would never be able to come back.
If she married an old bachelor, at least she could still survive and it would be possible for her to find a chance to return to the city. Finally, under the persuasion of the village chief, Li Juan finally reaped the consequences of her own actions and agreed to marry the old bachelor.
After everyone left, Li Meng and Wu Ruirui returned to school. Wu Ruirui still felt sad and sighed.
"Luckily I have you, otherwise I would have really fallen into your trap."
"This is also my fault. It's because of me that she wants to hurt my friends," Li Meng said softly in a bad mood.
Wu Ruirui also noticed Li Meng's guilty mood, and patted Li Meng on the shoulder and smiled to comfort her.
"If you really feel guilty, then make me another hot pot to calm me down."
"I also want to drink soda and eat kebabs. If you do these for me, I will forgive you."
Li Meng nodded Wu Ruirui's head, "Okay, if one meal can't suppress your shock, then two meals will do. Okay, I will meet all your requirements."
The two looked at each other and smiled. Even if the matter was over, Wu Ruirui didn't blame Li Meng. If she had to blame someone, she should blame Li Juan, the evildoer. Now she has suffered the consequences. She deserves it!
The weekend came soon, and Li Meng packed up and went to town alone. She and Wu Ruirui agreed to have hotpot tonight, so she went to the black market in town to see if there was any mutton or something for sale and bought some. Wu Ruirui and Li Laidi went to the mountain to collect firewood.
Li Meng arrived at the town on a ox cart. Without delay, he went directly to the black market to find Sister Hong to ask about the house.
"I have already found out what you asked me to do, and I'm waiting to take you to see it. Let's go and have a look together." Sister Hong took Li Meng to see the house.
The first house had a small courtyard, not very big, with 3 rooms. It was very clean inside, but it was a bit small and located in a residential area. There were a lot of people coming and going, which Li Meng was not very satisfied with.
The second house has two rooms at the front door, a small courtyard behind the door, and three more rooms at the back. This house is located in the alley behind the supply and marketing cooperative. Usually not many people walk here, so it is very quiet. Li Meng saw it, but was still a little dissatisfied.
The third house was on the road behind the hospital in the town. The family felt that living behind the hospital was unlucky, so they thought about selling the house and moving to another place.
The house was very clean, with a total of 6 rooms and 2 big pine trees in the yard. The yard was neither too big nor too small and gave a very comfortable feeling overall. The rooms were bright and tidy. Li Meng liked it at first sight. She didn't mind that the house was behind the hospital. She was an atheist and she was not superstitious. In the end, she decided to choose this house.
"Uncle, you see, I really want it too. Can you lower the price a little? If it's suitable, I can pay you today." Li Meng saw the original owner of the house and went up to talk directly.
The landlord was eager to sell the house and finally, with the help of Sister Hong's mediation, the deal was completed at a price of 650. Li Meng could take the furniture with her if she wanted to, as she didn't need so much furniture!
She had made up her mind and decided to ask Xiaodouzi and his grandfather to come and watch over the goods during the day. As long as she put the goods in, she would basically not be needed. She knew that Xiaodouzi's grandfather was an educated man, so she would give him the shipping records and some salary. It didn't matter what he did for food and drink, as that was how much two people could eat. The safety of the goods would be left to Sister Hong, and she believed that she would be happy to do so.
After the house was handed over and the formalities were completed, the landlord said that they would have two days to move in. Li Meng told him not to rush and to take his time. He could just give her the house next Saturday. If they could move in earlier, he could just send the key to Sister Hong.
Sister Hong also readily agreed. After all, it would be convenient to pick up goods in the future. This is also the reason why Sister Hong is so efficient. After all, it is understandable for businessmen to pursue profits.
After saying goodbye to Sister Hong and the landlord, Li Meng went straight to Xiaodouzi's house. On the way there, Li Meng bought rice, flour and oil from the Space Mall and knocked on the door.
Knock knock knock······
"Who is it? Coming, coming." It was the voice of Xiaodouzi's grandfather. It seemed that he had recovered from his illness and judging by his voice, he had strength back.
When he opened the door and saw that it was Li Meng, the old man was so happy that he quickly brought Li Meng into the house.
"Xiaodouzi, come out quickly, look who's here," the old man shouted into the room with a smile.
"Wow, it's Sister Li, you're here," Xiaodouzi ran out excitedly, staring at Li Meng with sparkling eyes.
"Yes, I'm here again. Are you welcome?" Li Meng asked softly while touching Xiaodouzi's head with a smile.
"Welcome, of course I'm welcome. I hope Sister Li can come every day," said Xiaodouzi jumping. He was very happy to see her coming.
"Here, put these in the kitchen. I'm so tired carrying them all the way." Li Meng pointed to the rice, flour and oil on the ground.
"Girl, just come if you want to. Don't bring us anything. We have already been given a lot of things last time," the old man quickly declined.
"Just accept it. I came here today to ask for your help with something. If you don't accept it, I won't dare to say anything." Li Meng was afraid that the old man would refuse, so he stood up and quickly picked up the things on the ground and carried them into the kitchen.
The old man followed behind him and kept shouting, and I couldn't stop him.
"Look at you, girl. Tell me what's going on. I'll help you if I can." The master knew that Li Meng meant well, so he accepted it. He moved a stool for Li Meng to sit on and let her speak slowly.
Then Li Meng told him that she bought a house to use as a warehouse and wanted him to go there to record the shipment of goods.
The old man also knew that Li Meng sincerely wanted to help the two of them, so he readily agreed and promised to keep a close eye on it for her and would never forget it, so she could rest assured.
After chatting for a while, Li Meng insisted on taking the grandparents and grandchildren to a state-owned restaurant for a good meal.
