Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around
Chapter 69 Buying a House
Song Laosan showed them the first house, and Liu Siyue suddenly remembered something, slapped her forehead, and realized she had forgotten about the child.
"Song Yaren, take my sister around for a while."
"Excuse me, where is the outhouse here?" She asked this somewhat embarrassedly. In this era, it was very impolite for a woman to ask a man such a question, but she couldn't find an opportunity to be alone with him, so she could only use this method to get rid of the two men and go see the children.
"These two-courtyard houses usually have outhouses in both the front and back yards. There's one on the left. Most houses in the county town are like this. The master uses the outhouse in the back yard, and the servants use the outhouse in the front yard."
"Sister, I'll go with you."
"No need, look carefully. Let's finish looking and go back sooner." If Liu Siyue let Zhou Xiangxing come with her, how would she enter the space?
Seeing the two leave, Liu Siyue quickly entered her spatial dimension. Before she even reached the room door, she heard a child's heart-wrenching cries coming from inside. She ran a few steps and pushed open the door. The child's face was already red from crying. She quickly picked up the child and comforted him.
"Don't cry, Yao'er. It's all my fault. I forgot about you. Are you hungry? I'll make you some milk right away." The baby was still crying, so she held the baby in one arm and made milk with the other.
She comforted the child for a long time until the child finally stopped crying, and then she gave the child the milk. The child drank the milk very quickly and finished it in no time. Perhaps the child was tired from crying, because the child fell asleep peacefully in her arms.
Liu Siyue untied the child's diaper. There was no poop, but it was already full of urine. Seeing that the child's bottom was red, she remembered seeing on TV that a child's red bottom might be caused by urine stains and that powder should be applied.
She went to the supermarket and found some baby powder to apply to the baby, then changed the diaper. She couldn't forget about the baby anymore; how pitiful she was. She had to find a way to remind herself to look after the baby.
Okay, I've got it. She went to the supermarket, grabbed a digital watch, and put it on her wrist so she could check the time anytime and set a timer for vibration. As long as no one saw her, it would be fine once she got home.
She looked at the child again before leaving the space.
Liu Siyue had been in the space for quite some time without realizing it, but Song Laosan and Zhou Xiangxing outside were extremely worried. They searched the entire house but still couldn't find Liu Siyue.
Zhou Xiangxing ran to the outhouse to look for someone, but no one was there. She called out in the yard, but still received no response. Liu Siyue was too busy comforting the child to hear her.
Zhou Xiangxing panicked immediately, and many bad images flashed through her mind: the accident that happened to her in April.
"Song Yaren, think of something quickly! How could a perfectly healthy person suddenly disappear?"
Seeing Zhou Xiangxing's anxious look, Song Laosan quickly said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. Did she fall into the latrine, or did she have to leave for something else?"
"She definitely won't leave first, let's hurry to the outhouse and check."
Zhou Xiangxing went to check the outhouse again. Song Laosan was waiting outside. Zhou Xiangxing looked the outhouse over and saw that it hadn't been used in a long time and was completely dry. There was no one there at all.
She ran out crying, saying there was no one inside. Her crying confused Song Laosan. "Sister-in-law, don't cry. I'll go look for it in the yard again. If you can't find it, I'll take you back to where you live. If all else fails, I'll report it to the authorities."
Song Laosan searched the whole yard for people, and Zhou Xiangxing was not idle either, she joined in the search, her cries were filled with sobs.
As soon as Liu Siyue came out, she heard Zhou Xiangxing calling her name in a tearful voice, "Siyue~"
Oh no! She had to quickly find an excuse to appease them and prevent them from becoming suspicious. She immediately left the house, bought some food, and returned. "Sister, sister, where are you?"
Hearing Liu Siyue's voice, Zhou Xiangxing ran over crying and hugged her tightly, saying, "Where have you been? I was so worried about you."
Liu Siyue held up the food in her hand, "We haven't had lunch yet, so I bought some food and water. You must be starving, eat something."
"Song Yaren, you should eat something too."
Song Laosan waved his hand, "You guys hurry up and eat. Your sister was so scared when we couldn't find you."
"I'm sorry to have worried you."
While eating, Liu Siyue asked, "How's this house?"
Zhou Xiangxing said it was quite nice; the house was very clean and had furniture, but the furniture was rather old, indicating that the house must be quite old.
Song Laosan quoted a price of 480 taels. Liu Siyue nodded, finished her food in a few bites, drank some water, and then looked at the next place.
She looked at two more places, and she was quite satisfied with one of them. This two-courtyard house was equivalent to a small three-courtyard house. Song Laosan quoted her 620 taels.
After careful consideration, Liu Siyue decided to buy the house in East Alley. She said to Song Laosan, "Song broker, give me a bottom price for that house in East Street that costs 880 taels. Let me see if you can accept it."
When Song Laosan saw the customer negotiating the price, he knew there was hope. "To be honest, most of the good properties in the county are in Guanya. The landlord's bottom price is 850 taels. If you are serious about it, you can go and negotiate with the landlord."
"Song broker, if you can negotiate the price down to 700 taels, I'll give you 50 taels as a thank you."
"Okay, I will do my best."
"Where are you staying? I'll let you know when the time comes."
"We're staying at Penglai Inn, Songya people. I have a question for you, and I'd appreciate your help in answering it."
"Please feel free to ask any questions, and I will do my best to answer them."
"If I buy this house, can I register someone else's household registration at this address?"
"Yes, but you need to provide a settlement consent form before someone can settle down. If you want to sell the house later and the new owner is willing to accept the person settling down, then the settlement can continue. If they are not willing, then she will not have a household registration and will need to re-settle down."
If you need help with this, I can do it for you free of charge, just to build a good relationship.
We, as officials, have close ties with the government, so this matter is easy to handle. If an outsider were to handle it, it wouldn't be so easy; even if money were spent, success might not be guaranteed.
You'll need to make at least two or three trips.
Liu Siyue believed Song Laosan's words to some extent. She made a cheering gesture and smiled slightly at him, "Song Yaren, keep it up! I'm looking forward to your good news."
"Okay, I will definitely try my best."
Where are you going now? Do you want me to take you back to the inn?
"Okay, thank you then."
Back at the inn, Liu Siyue lay down on the bed. "I'm exhausted. I'm going to sleep. Xiangxing, you should go back to sleep too, and don't forget to take your medicine."
Zhou Xiangxing responded and went back to sleep, but she couldn't fall asleep. She tossed and turned thinking about what Liu Siyue had said today: as long as you are strong enough, the rules will change for you, and others will only see your strengths and ignore everything else.
She wants to become strong, she wants to be herself again. If April could do it, she definitely can too. Zhou Xiangxing, believe in yourself, you can definitely do it.
Song Laosan calculated how much money he could earn if he closed the deal: 700 taels, which would be 14 taels. Adding the 50 taels from the customer, that would be 64 taels, which was the amount of money he could earn in several years.
He bought some pastries on the street and went straight to the landlord's house; he was determined to make a sale.
Song Laosan knew about Master Jin's family situation, so he had already prepared his explanation for this trip and was full of confidence.
