In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband
Chapter 64 Buying a House
Li was startled by Su Zhizhi's behavior, but she soon realized that she was now in the upper hand. In her rage, she was about to attack Su Zhizhi. "You stupid little girl, you dare not take me seriously? I will tear your mouth apart today."
But Su Zhizhi couldn't just stand there and let Li hit her. She dodged to the side, and Li missed her. Su Zhizhi took the opportunity to grab Li's wrist, and she was directly restrained by Su Zhizhi.
Su Zhizhi's strength was no match for Li's. As Su Zhizhi's strength continued to increase, Li felt that her wrist was about to be crushed.
Although history was extremely angry, it still had to beg for mercy from Su Zhizhi.
Seeing Li lower her head, Su Zhizhi reluctantly let Li go.
She helped Li up and reached out to brush off the dust on her body. "Second aunt, please leave some space for us so that we can meet again in the future. You are older than me, so you should understand this principle better than me. Second aunt, please don't let your greed blind you."
There was something else behind Su Zhizhi's words, which Li couldn't fail to hear, but she could only swallow her anger and didn't dare to say anything else. She had to leave in shame.
When the annoying things disappeared, Su Zhizhi slowly walked into the house and continued what she had just been doing.
Li didn't know what she said when she returned, but not long after, the old lady came.
At this time, Mrs. Meng was still resting in the house, so Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin blocked the old lady in the yard and prevented her from entering.
"Grandma, if you have anything to say, just talk about it here. My mother is still resting, so I won't let you in." Su Zhizhi said with a forced smile.
The old lady choked, but thinking of the purpose of her trip, she swallowed her dissatisfaction.
"Why, your family can't stay in the county town anymore?" The old lady's words were full of sarcasm. Su Zhizhi had no doubt that Li's sarcastic face was learned from the old lady.
Su Zhizhi looked at the old lady leisurely, "What's the matter? Grandma, can you give me some advice?"
The old lady froze for a moment and said, "I'm just an old woman, but your house can be sold for some money. I, an old woman, am kind enough to help you buy it. This way you will have some money and at least be able to survive in the county town. It's better than returning to the village in disgrace and being looked down upon."
The old lady was belittling Su Zhizhi, both overtly and covertly. "If you've thought it over, I'll buy it from you at a low price. Otherwise, I'm afraid your house won't be easy to sell."
Su Zhizhi understood that the old lady still coveted this house and was willing to pay for it. Su Zhizhi had not originally planned to sell the house, but now it seemed that she had a plan.
Then, Su Zhizhi followed the old lady's words and said, "Grandma is really capable. Why didn't I think of this idea? But I still need to discuss this matter with my mother. After all, this house is also left to us by my father. It's not easy for me to make the decision. If my mother agrees, I will go to my grandmother."
When the old lady heard this, the wrinkles on her face deepened her smile.
After seeing the old lady off, Su Zhizhi finally laughed unrestrainedly. Xie Chengjin on the side looked at Su Zhizhi helplessly.
He laughed and said, "What's there to be happy about? People are still eyeing your house covetously, and you are in such a bad situation now."
"This old hag has always wanted to occupy this house and give it to the second wife of the Su family, but I have always disagreed, so she has not succeeded. Now she jumps out, I am not surprised. It happens that I am short of money. I might as well cheat her out of it before I completely leave this village. I want to see how much silver this old hag has in her hands." Su Zhizhi narrowed her eyes slightly, and she already had a plan in her mind.
She briefly explained the matter to Mrs. Meng, and Mrs. Meng told Su Zhizhi to do it herself. She had no objection.
Seeing this, Su Zhizhi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She left Xie Chengjin to take care of Meng and went to find the old lady.
The old lady was waiting at her home when Su Zhizhi arrived. She adjusted her expression at the door and then walked into the old lady's yard with a stern face.
"Well, have you thought it over?" The old lady's tone was full of gloating that could not be concealed.
Su Zhizhi nodded silently. "Yes, Grandma, but you also know that it costs a lot of money in the county town. I also hope to sell this house at a higher price."
The old lady was calm and composed, with a look of embarrassment on her face. "You're in a hurry to sell this house, and I can't help you. If you want to sell it, you can't pay the market price."
Su Zhizhi felt even more depressed after hearing this, but she quickly cheered up and said, "Grandma, don't worry, I don't want much. 80% of the market price is already very cheap."
After saying that, Su Zhizhi gave the old lady a number, but it was almost twice the market price of the house.
Su Zhizhi was confident of winning. She knew that the old lady had no way of knowing how much the house cost, so whatever Su Zhizhi said was the price.
Seeing the price, the old lady's face suddenly turned gloomy. Even if she exchanged everything she had in her hands, the money would not be enough. After a long silence, the old lady gave the highest price she could offer.
Su Zhizhi was still hesitant and wanted the old lady to raise the price a little bit, but the old lady refused to give in, so Su Zhizhi had no choice but to agree.
The two quickly signed the agreement. The old lady held the land sale contract and was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She thought she had gotten a huge bargain and gave the money to Su Zhizhi without saying a word.
Su Zhizhi suppressed her smile and went home with the money.
As soon as she entered the house, Su Zhizhi couldn't wait to run to Mrs. Meng. She smiled and said, "Mother, I didn't expect grandma to be so rich. She gave me so much just to buy our house."
Mrs. Meng was also dumbfounded when she saw the thick banknotes. It wasn't like she didn't know anything, so she quickly changed her mind and scraped Su Zhizhi's nose helplessly. "I knew you couldn't afford to lose. This is basically enough to buy both of our houses, right?"
Su Zhizhi said confidently, "So what? I got it with my own ability." Her face was full of pride.
After being happy, before Su Zhizhi could pack up her things, Li stood outside the house with her things and shouted at the people inside, asking Su Zhizhi and the others to make room for her quickly.
