I couldn't take it anymore; when I went home for Chinese New Year, the family genealogy book ha

"Bring out your biggest and most expensive one! Don't even look at the smaller ones! I'm moving in today!"

Liu Cuifen stood in the middle of the marble front desk of the "Dijinwan" sales office in the county town, her voice so loud that even the security guard at the door peeked inside.

The black cloth cotton shoes he wore, which he had come from Jiangjia Village, were still covered in mud. He was wrapped in a purplish-red floral jacket, and his gold ring gleamed brightly under the light.

Clutching a black bank card in his hand, he slapped it onto the marble countertop.

The saleswoman was startled.

When she saw this rural woman in a brightly colored floral jacket walk in, her first thought was—she had come to the wrong place.

Dijing Bay is the most upscale villa area in Qinghe County, with even the cheapest townhouse starting at 20 million yuan.

But the sound of the black card hitting the table was too crisp.

The sales manager came out and glanced down.

The card has a dark surface with no extra decorations, just a line of small platinum lettering – Swiss Bank.

The sales manager's expression changed in an instant.

From her walking posture to the curve of her smile, she completely switched to VIP reception mode.

"Oh, ma'am! Please have a seat here! Tea or coffee? We just received some pre-Qingming Longjing tea—"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Liu Cuifen plopped down on the sofa, crossing her legs. "I'm asking you, how much does the biggest house here cost?"

The sales manager rubbed his hands together and held up five fingers and three fingers.

"Madam, this is the king of the buildings in our Imperial Bay, a detached villa, covering an area of ​​1.2 acres, four and a half stories, with a garden, a swimming pool and an underground garage."

"This house is the most luxurious residence in our county. Only three were built, and this is the last one left. As for the price..."

The sales manager grinned from ear to ear: "Eighty million."

Liu Cuifen didn't even blink.

"I bought it."

Jiang Jianguo, who was sitting next to him, almost slipped off the sofa.

"Cuifen! Eighty million for a house? Are you crazy?"

"Shut up!" Liu Cuifen turned and glared at her husband. "You've spent your whole life holed up in that run-down village, what do you know! I have three hundred million in my pocket, do I need to consult you to buy a house?"

Jiang Jianguo opened his mouth, then closed it again.

He huddled in the corner of the sofa with his hands tucked in, not daring to utter a sound.

Jiang Wei, on the other side, pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and whispered in his mother's ear, "Mom, isn't this price a bit outrageous? Eighty million can buy a detached house in the provincial capital, let alone this is a county town—"

"Shut up, you too!" Liu Cuifen yelled at her son as well. "You've been driving that beat-up BMW X1 for three years and you still haven't paid off the loan. What right do you have to tell me how to spend money?"

Jiang Wei's face flushed red, and he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

The sales manager, who was standing nearby, saw everything clearly and his eyes darted around twice.

A nouveau riche woman from the countryside who knows nothing and spends money without batting an eye.

You might not encounter a customer like this even once in ten years.

The contract was signed, and the card was swiped.

Eighty million, without even haggling over the odd amount.

The news spread faster than the wind.

The property manager, renovation company owner, furniture supplier, landscaping company, smart home installer... of Imperial Bay

They all arrived within an hour.

They surrounded Liu Cuifen in the VIP room of the sales office, like a hunter hunting her down.

"Madam, your 80 million dollar penthouse should have imported furniture, right? A set of genuine leather sofas from Poltrona Frau in Italy is priced at 1.2 million, but we'll give you a discount—one million!"

"Madam, the yard can't be empty! We need a Podocarpus macrophyllus paired with a Japanese black pine. One Podocarpus macrophyllus costs 800,000 yuan, including planting, survival, and maintenance! Your yard is so big, you should plant at least six!"

"Madam, should we upgrade the central air conditioning? Should we install a whole-house water purification system? Should we install graphene underfloor heating?"

One bid after another came flying in, like a machine gun barrage.

Eight hundred thousand trees.

A chair worth 500,000.

A toilet that costs 300,000.

Curtains worth 200,000.

Liu Cuifen sat in the middle, being fawned over and praised by a group of people.

"Madam, you have excellent taste!"

"Your wife's choice is unique in this county!"

"Madam, you clearly have seen the world!"

Liu Cuifen was so flattered that she was completely overwhelmed.

After hearing each quote, she would ask, "Is this the best?"

The other person replied, "The best!"

She waved her hand dismissively: "Swipe the card!"

Jiang Wei stood in the corner, frantically pressing the calculator on his phone for ten minutes.

He leaned close to Liu Cuifen, his voice low: "Mom, you've already spent 23 million since this morning. The furniture and renovations alone cost 15 million. That Podocarpus macrophyllus isn't worth 800,000 at all; I just searched online, and the best I found for the same quality is 150,000—"

"Get out!" Liu Cuifen shoved her son away. "Your mother has three hundred million, what's twenty million? It's nothing!"

She turned to the sales manager and said, "Oh, right! I also want to buy a nice car! Do you sell any Rolls-Royces around here?"

The sales manager's eyes lit up.

"Yes, yes, yes! Madam, I'll contact them for you!"

By evening, Liu Cuifen's results were as follows—

A villa worth 80 million.

Fifteen million for renovations and furniture.

Four million eight hundred thousand yuan worth of landscaping.

A smart home and security system worth 3.2 million.

The total is 103 million.

one day.

One-third of the three hundred million was spent.

That evening, Liu Cuifen lay on her newly bought Italian leather sofa, crossed her legs, and filmed a video on her phone.

"See that? My new house! Eighty million! The most expensive in the whole county!"

She posted the video to a WeChat group called "Jiang Family".

This group was created a while ago, and it contains many people from Jiangjia Village.

After the video was posted, the group chat went silent.

No one replied.

Not a single person liked it.

Liu Cuifen waited for a long time before scrolling through the group member list.

She discovered that she had been removed from the group chat.

Everyone deleted her.

Liu Cuifen stared at her phone screen, her fingers trembling.

Downstairs, Jiang Jianguo huddled in a five-hundred-thousand-yuan chair in the corner of the living room, looking at the empty house, took out a five-yuan Double Happiness cigarette, and lit it.

As the smoke rose, his gaze drifted past the French windows to the pitch-black night outside.

In the direction of Jiangjia Village, nothing can be seen.

Meanwhile, in a high-end beauty salon on the other side of the county, Sun Yumei is experiencing an even bigger nightmare.
