Reborn as an 80s-aged woman, her unfilial son begs for forgiveness on his knees.

Chapter 175 I Want Two Courtyards: Eldest Sister, Is There Any Rumor?

After Zhang Wenying returned home, she told Li Xiaojuan about buying a house.

"Mom, are you sure you want to buy it?"

Twelve courtyards!

Even if she and her uncle each bought two courtyards, there would still be eight courtyards left.

What is Mom trying to do?

Could there be some buried treasure in that place?

Zhang Wenying took a big gulp of cool boiled water, wiped her mouth, and said, "Buy! Why not buy? I've already spoken to your uncle; he wants two courtyards. What about yours?"

We're going to transfer the property tomorrow morning, so please prepare the money and household registration book.

If you don't want them, then I'll take them all.

One hundred yuan for a two-hundred-square-meter apartment, and one hundred and fifty yuan for the three three-hundred-square-meter apartments.

The price is so cheap it's practically free.

If her daughter doesn't want it, she'll accept it completely.

If she weren't afraid of biting off more than she could chew, she would have bought all the empty rooms in that area.

And there really are treasures over there.

It is said that the construction team dug up three boxes of gold bars and ten boxes of silver dollars from under a house.

Silver dollars are very valuable over there.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaojuan's heart also stirred.

Although she wasn't as bold as her mother, she knew that this price was truly a windfall.

"Okay, Mom, I want two courtyards."

We need two 200-square-meter apartments.

Two hundred yuan is not a small amount of money, but she chose to believe in her mother.

Even if it's a bad investment, she won't regret it.

The next morning, Zhang Wenying took her eldest daughter, her elder brother and sister-in-law to Nancheng again.

That old lady was very efficient.

When Zhang Wenying arrived, it was just past eight o'clock, and all twelve homeowners had already arrived.

Everyone was astonished that someone would come to Nancheng to buy a house.

They were all thinking of going to the city, but they never expected that someone would choose to go to this dirty and chaotic place.

However, as long as they can sell this hot potato, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Some people still have doubts.

"Big sister, do you really want to buy the house we have?"

Could there be some treasure hidden beneath this house?

Zhang Wenying remained calm and composed, her expression unchanged.

"These old houses are your ancestral homes, and you know better than I what's inside."

Furthermore, there is freedom of buying and selling.

If you want to sell the house, we'll negotiate a price and the money will be exchanged for the house.

If you don't want to sell, I won't force you.

Anyway, there are plenty of empty rooms in this area.

The main reason is that the courtyard where the treasures are hidden is in this alley.

Because in her previous life, it had also been reported in the newspapers, she remembered the big locust tree at the entrance of the alley.

Moreover, all the dilapidated houses in this area will be demolished next year, so it doesn't matter which house you buy.

The man choked, and his face immediately turned red.

The people living here have been poor farmers for generations. If there were treasures hidden in their rooms, they would have become rich long ago. Why would they stay here and suffer for a hundred yuan?

"Daughter, if they don't buy it, I will."

This is the property ownership certificate and land certificate for my yard. We can transfer the ownership now.

However, this price...

The elderly woman spoke first.

Her son was transferred to work in Shanghai. He called her yesterday and asked her to quickly settle the house here so he could come to Shanghai to help take care of the children.

Now that someone has finally come to her door to inquire, she certainly doesn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Auntie, one price."

One hundred yuan for a 200-square-meter apartment, one hundred and fifty yuan for a 300-square-meter apartment.

If you agree, come with me, and we'll transfer the ownership now.

If you don't want to, then forget it.

Upon hearing this, everyone readily agreed.

They also wanted more money.

Given the current situation in Nancheng, it takes a lot of courage for anyone to come over and stand here and say a few words. How could they dare to raise prices?

The best course of action is to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Only the person who raised the question hesitated a little.

Who doesn't know that the southern part of the city is a mess?

Even government departments find it a headache to talk about.

But this woman actually wanted to buy all twelve courtyards at once, and even said she wanted to rent them out.

Renting a place in this shabby area is like asking for trouble.

But they came with real money to buy the house, so it's clearly not a prank.

Although the man found it strange, he still followed the others to the housing management office.

The transfer of ownership was completed quickly. Zhang Wenying paid the full amount on the spot, and eight brand-new property ownership certificates and land use certificates were in her hands.

Li Xiaojuan bought two 200-square-meter apartments, while Zhang's eldest uncle bought one 200-square-meter apartment and one 300-square-meter apartment.

The old woman clutched the hundred-yuan note, her hands trembling with excitement, and thanked him repeatedly.

As promised, Zhang Wenying gave the old woman ten yuan.

"Auntie, this is the fee I promised you for your hard work. Please accept it."

The old lady waved her hands repeatedly.

"That won't do. I'm already very grateful that you bought my house; how could I possibly take your money again?"

Zhang Wenying insisted on stuffing the money into the old woman's hand, her tone gentle but leaving no room for refusal.

"You can't just go back on your word after making a promise."

If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to buy a house so easily.

"Here's the money, take it and buy the child something nice to eat."

The old woman's eyes reddened slightly, but she finally accepted the ten yuan.

The other ten or so people also happily took the money and left.

Only that person, still unwilling to give up, asked, "Big sister, what exactly are you going to do with all these houses you've bought?"

"Give me a heads-up, bro, have you heard something?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wenying paused, turned around to look at the man, and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips.

"The sound of the wind?"

What kind of rumors could I, an ordinary resident, possibly hear?

"They just thought the houses in the city were too expensive and couldn't afford them, so they came to the south of the city to find a bargain."

The man clearly didn't believe him and wanted to ask more questions, but Zhang Wenying had already turned around and walked briskly towards the alley entrance.

My house has a property ownership certificate and land use certificate, so even if those people regret it in the future, they won't be able to cause any trouble...

Because Zhang Ju was honest in her business and generous with the fillings, her dumplings and wontons tasted excellent. Coupled with her fair prices, more and more regular customers started coming to her stall.

With this business, Zhang Ju's life got better day by day.

Every day before dawn, she gets up to knead dough and chop filling. People passing by on their way to work always stop to buy a bowl of hot wontons or dumplings, and then rush off to work after eating.

Zhang Ju is a skilled cook; the dumplings she makes all have thin wrappers and generous fillings, and the wonton soup is fresh and delicious. After a bowl, you feel warm and cozy all over.

The eldest daughter also stopped working and started helping her mother make and cook dumplings every day. Her previously sorrowful face gradually began to show a smile.

Even the youngest daughter helps wipe the table and wash the dishes. The family is happy and harmonious. Although life is hard, they have hope for the future.

A neighbor who knew her asked, "Xiao Zhang, I've seen police officers coming and going from your house these past few days. Is something wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ju paused for a moment with the rolling pin in her hand, then continued rolling out the dough with a faint smile on her face.

"It's nothing serious, the man in my family is missing, and we're asking the government for help in finding him."
