Reborn 99 Days Later, Becoming a Landlady and Getting into Tsinghua and Peking Universities

"Aunt Lian, are you home?"

Li Lian had just finished trying on her new clothes and was about to ask her husband, Hua Zhigang, if they looked good when Hua Lichu knocked on the door.

Hua Zhigang asked in bewilderment, "Who is it?"

"The girl who rents our house. Oh, Pear, what brings you here?"

Hua Lichu, holding an enamel tray, waited obediently outside the door:

"You said last time that my family's pork ribs were delicious, so my grandpa made another pot today. I'm bringing some for you to try."

After saying that, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Aunt Lian, your clothes are so beautiful, did you buy them in the provincial capital?"

Upon hearing this, Li Lian smiled broadly, saying, "You have such good taste!"

Your uncle just bought this for me today when he got back from driving. He said it's the latest style in the provincial capital.

Zhigang, go to the kitchen and get a basin.

"Oh, your family is too kind. You keep bringing me this and that; I'm almost embarrassed."

The tall, burly Hua Zhigang took the basin from Hua Lichu's hand and collapsed.

Hua Lichu glanced at Hua Zhigang and felt very safe standing next to the petite Li Lian.

It has a kind of beauty and beast vibe.

"No, it's just that you're so kind, Aunt Lian, you always give our family things. I'll go back and eat now."

Li Lian hurriedly took two apples and two pomelos from a bag beside her and stuffed them into Hua Lichu's arms:

“Your uncle brought these back from his trip; use them to sweeten your mouth.”

Hua Lichu looked at the pomelo in her arms with delight and said without any politeness, "I'm really benefiting from your kindness today, Auntie."

Li Lian smiled and said, "You have such a sweet tongue!"

"Hehe, I just like to tell the truth."

"Do I look good in this outfit?"

Hua Lichu looked Li Lian up and down and nodded sincerely:

"Really, Auntie, your skin is so fair, and wearing pink makes you look even fairer."

This dress has a cinched waist, perfectly showcasing your figure.

My uncle has such good taste!

However, my Aunt Lian is still the prettiest; she looks good in everything, hehe.

Li Lian felt very pleased with the praise, but was a little embarrassed.

She gave Hua Lichu a reproachful look: "Alright, alright, go home and have dinner."

I don't know how Pear's little mouth grew.

After being praised a few more times, she felt like a fairy descended from heaven.

Hua Lichu took the basin back and bumped into the old lady who rented the fourth room.

The old lady glanced at the fruit in Hua Lichu's arms with her triangular eyes, then spat on the ground: "Sycophant."

After saying that, he slammed the door shut.

Hua Lichu frowned, knowing that this person was probably just jealous.

"Lian'er, you really liked that girl from earlier?"

Hua Zhigang ladled the pork rib soup into a small bowl, pushed it in front of Li Lian, and watched her sip it slowly.

Li Lian nodded: "That girl has a sweet tongue and is also ambitious..."

She was afraid of pain, so after giving birth to a son, she dared not have any more children.

Unfortunately, her son resembled her husband, not only being tall and burly but also not very talkative.

The husband started his own transportation team and spends most of the year driving around.

She's always alone at home and gets incredibly bored.

It was a rare treat to meet the Hua Lichu sisters, especially the sweet-talking Hua Lichu, whom she adored.

After learning that the two sisters only had their grandfather left, she couldn't help but keep an eye on them.

They'll send a pot of vegetables today, or a piece of fruit tomorrow.

The two sisters are also grateful; whenever they cook some meat dishes at home, they will bring a plate over to her.

Over time, we became familiar with each other.

Hua Zhigang heard his wife praising him and also heard that the three of them, grandfather, grandmother, and grandson, were setting up a stall in the government square. He immediately started thinking about it.

He said in a deep voice, "Have you noticed the street that's being built between the city high school and the government square?"

Li Lian was puzzled: "That's such a long street, anyone who's not blind knows it. What's wrong, do you have some inside information?"

Hua Zhigang used to work for the city's transportation team.

I've made many influential friends.

When the policy changed, he immediately used his connections to get a loan to buy two large trucks and took his men to start their own business.

Over the years, his transport fleet has grown from the initial two vehicles to seven or eight.

"That street is about to start attracting investment."

Li Lian paused in her bite of the rib: "Is the information accurate?"

"Ah."

As Hua Zhigang spoke, he took out two contracts from his briefcase and handed them to Li Lian.

Li Lian wiped her hands clean, opened the package, and her eyes widened instantly: "Shops? Two of them! You bought them all?"

Seeing her husband nod, Li Lian stopped gnawing on the ribs and asked, "Where did you get so much money?"

One room costs 8000, another 12,000, wouldn't that add up to...?

Li Lian glared at Hua Zhigang with eyes full of anger.

Hua Zhigang chuckled: "This trip took us a long way and we earned a lot of money. We also happened to run into someone who was pre-arranging a shop, so I got really anxious!"

Think about it, that street is so long, the locations are bound to be good and bad. If you're too late, where will you find a good spot?

Li Lian pinched the flesh around Hua Zhigang's waist, gritting her teeth:

"You're something else, you've really made something of yourself. You made such a big decision without even consulting me."

Hua Zhigang cried out in anguish: "Didn't I come back to tell you?"

Even though you have a loan, as long as we rent out the shop, we can use the rent to pay the mortgage.

We can pay off the loan in a few years and even make a profit on a shop. What a worthwhile deal!

This happened so suddenly. I promise that from now on, I'll tell you immediately if anything happens!

Li Lian glared at him, annoyed: "Don't do it again!"

"This will never happen again!"

Li Lian glanced at the contract in her hand again, her big eyes half-closed, and gave the contract a big kiss.

I was so happy!

But then she hesitated and said, "The city high school only moved here not long ago. This area is so desolate. Are the shops easy to rent out?"

Hua Zhigang chuckled and analyzed, "Don't be fooled by how desolate it is now; it'll definitely be a good place in the future."

Think about it, even Mencius' mother moved three times to find the right environment for her son's education. Wouldn't parents who value their children's schooling try every means to buy a house nearby?

With more people, this area will develop sooner or later!

I arrived early and chose a good location, so you can rest assured! Just wait to collect the rent!

Li Lian took the contract back to the house and hid it.

I asked, "Can I tell anyone about this?"

Hua Zhigang nodded: "But it's best not to spread it around."

The more you know, the greater the competition becomes.

However, it has nothing to do with my family.

After pondering for a moment, Li Lian went to Hua Lichu's house with her hands behind her back.
