Chapter 310: Chapter 311: College Entrance Exam Approaching 5
Right now, housing prices are extremely cheap. In this town, you can buy a house for a mere one or two thousand, and fifty thousand is more than enough in Pingjing. Itâs not like the sky-high prices in future eras, where even buying a bathroom in the Golden Triangle City canât be done for fifty thousand.
Jiang Aiguo and Sun Li exchanged a glance, then Jiang Aiguo shook his head and said,
"Letâs forget it. Weâve lived in this town for most of our lives. Although itâs poor here, itâs still our roots.
Big cities are good, but theyâre not suitable for us farmers.
Moreover, we canât leave. If we do, the fruit and vegetable base at home wonât be manageable. We donât want to suffer the foreign hardships of a big city."
Sun Li chuckled warmly,
"But weâve already hired a construction crew to first renovate the house weâre living in into a brick and tile one, and then remodel the fruit and vegetable base to be more commendable.
That way, we wonât have to worry about leaks when it rains. As for the money at home, weâve decided to save it all up, to save as much as we can.
By then, weâll buy a courtyard house in Pingjing for you and Xiaotian each. I heard courtyard houses are beautiful, and itâll serve as your dowries in the future."
Nianyangâs heart was slightly moved, and Jiang Tian immediately pouted coquettishly, "Mom, what are you talking about dowries for? Your daughter isnât even of age yet, arenât you embarrassed?"
Sun Li rolled her eyes at her, "At your age, I already had you in my belly. Speaking of adulthood, you and Yangyang are both turning 18 next month."
Yes, speaking of adulthood, Nianyang suddenly realized that since she arrived in this era, it hasnât been too long or too short, more than half a year has passed.
Through it all, she gained quite a lotâfamily, love, and career are all there. Sheâs about to go to college and embrace a brighter future. These past six months were truly delightful and far more enriching than the 25 years of her previous life.
In the afternoon, Nianyang received a note from little Dou Dou, which was signed by Gu Youlan.
It only had one sentence: If you want to know your origins, come to see her now at Lao Lai Zhaoâs house in the neighboring village.
Nianyang knew the safest choice was to ignore it, but thinking that Gu Youlan might really know the inside story, she thought to go and listen. After all, with Gu Youlanâs abilities, she couldnât really do anything to her.
Gu Youlan had guessed that Nianyang wouldnât just ignore the note, so she was already waiting at the door. Seeing Nianyang come over, a trace of viciousness flashed in her eyes, and in a hoarse voice, she said, "You finally came."
Nianyang was startled by the sight of Gu Youlan. How did she change like this in just over a monthâs time?
Not to mention her tattered clothes, her face was bruised and thereâs a strangling mark on her neck. Compared to her former delicate flower-like appearance, she now looked like a proper aunt!
Nianyang had already known that marrying Zhao Lao Lai wouldnât grant Gu Youlan a good life, but seeing her in such a miserable stateâ
Nianyang truly felt a sense of satisfaction!
"Gu Youlan, what do you mean by what you wrote on the note?"
"If you want to know, come in and Iâll tell you."
Nianyang didnât move,
"Donât try any tricks. I just want to hear what you have to say from here. If you wonât speak, then forget it."
Gu Youlan glanced at Nianyang with cold eyes, "What are you afraid of? Look at what I am now. Do you think I can do anything to you? What I have to say is complex and canât be explained while standing. Come in, sit down, and listen to me. Donât worry, Zhao Lao Lai isnât home."
Nianyang didnât trust Gu Youlanâs nonsense, but she really wanted to know about the original ownerâs origins. Since she could protect herself, what storm could she possibly cause by just going inside for a while?
