Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.

Every child has milk powder; each of the older children has a can.

After hearing Bai Zhenzhu say that drinking milk powder can help you grow taller, Liu Fang and Xu Yin said they would buy it themselves in the future.

Now that everyone is making money, how can a child need their aunt to buy them milk powder?

Xu Yin smiled and said:

"Pearl, don't worry. We have plenty of meat, eggs, and milk at home. Your nephews will definitely grow tall."

He put down the yarn he was knitting and lowered his voice:

"I had a few words with the steamed bun vendor in front of me today."

White Pearl was puzzled:

"Why?"

Xu Yin spat.

“I overheard that old hag gossiping about you. She was talking about the steamed bun vendor at the market entrance. We’re not buying steamed buns from her anymore.”

Bai Zhenzhu knew that steamed bun shop; it also sold mantou (steamed bread).

However, the steamed buns at the restaurant were bought from another steamed bun shop. That shop's steamed buns were very substantial, and everyone loved them.

I guess she had some reservations about the restaurant.

Xu Yin was furious:

"You damned gossipy woman, you said you're not married and that you're the kind of woman who's kept by someone."

"If her daughter-in-law hadn't stopped her from continuing, I would have gone up and ripped her filthy mouth apart."

I've been in this market for almost a year now, and there are only a lot of shops selling white pearls in the whole market.

Being a woman is already tough enough, especially for beautiful women with a child, who face even more gossip and rumors.

This is only because the Bai family is all here. If only Bai Zhenzhu had stayed in this market, rumors would probably have been flying everywhere long ago.

At this point, Xu Yin looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:

"Second sister-in-law, just say what you have to say, it's no big deal."

Shuo Shuo was playing with her little brother in the room, and Xu Yin kept her voice down:

"You're busy all day, and I don't want to pass on a lot of gossip to you, lest you get all upset."

"Those old hags used to spread rumors that you and Boss Guo... were having an affair."

"Fortunately, you later became close to Boss Guo's wife, but they never had anything good to say about her."

Bai Zhenzhu gave a cold laugh:

"It's alright, sister-in-law. If you're upright, you have nothing to fear. Let them gossip all they want. Let's just focus on living our lives well."

"By the way, you and your sister-in-law should hurry up and look for a house. I heard from Shuo Shuo's godmother that the train station is going to be expanded and this area will be demolished in the future. You should buy a house in this area."

Xu Yin didn't understand:

What is demolition and relocation?

Bai Zhenzhu: "Demolition means that, for example, if we buy a house in the market, and this place is demolished in the future, the government will compensate us with a new house and demolition compensation. This is a great thing."

He added another instruction:

"Second sister-in-law, you should discuss this with your second brother in secret, and don't tell anyone else."

In reality, the demolition has not yet taken place. Bai Zhenzhu used Ge Minjing as a pretext just to get Xu Yin and Liu Fang to take it seriously.

She didn't have time to look at houses either; they had to take care of it themselves.

She probably doesn't even know as many people in this market as Xu Yin does.

Xu Yin wasn't stupid; her eyes widened in surprise.

"I buy an old house, and the government gives me a new house and even pays me money?"

"Oh my god, is this really a good thing?"

Bai Zhenzhu suppressed a laugh:

"Yes, that's why we can't make this public. Otherwise, if others find out, everyone will rush to buy houses, and the housing prices will definitely rise."

Xu Yin nodded repeatedly:

"Yes, yes, that makes sense."

He got excited as he spoke:

"I must buy a house. I actually heard someone selling a house before, and I was thinking of saving up for two months before buying one."

Bai Zhenzhu immediately said:

"Don't wait any longer, I'll lend you the money if you don't have enough."

Xu Yin suddenly realized:

"My goodness, Pearl, you have so many shops at the train station, aren't you going to be rich?"

White Pearl nodded:

"probably."

Xu Yin then thought of something else:

"What will happen to your shops? Will you still be able to do business in the future?"

White Pearl's Explanation:

"If there's a demolition, the government will definitely make corresponding arrangements. It's impossible to ignore such a large market and so many businesses."

"Let's not worry about all that for now. The most important thing right now is to buy a house. It doesn't matter if it's a shop or a house, as long as it's nearby."

Xu Yin was thrilled:

"I understand. My sister-in-law and I will definitely not let such a good opportunity slip by."

He then remarked with another sigh:

"Shuo Shuo's godmother is really good. How are we ordinary people supposed to know about this?"

The world of the wealthy is always mysterious and powerful in the eyes of ordinary people.

After dinner, when Liu Fang returned, Bai Zhenzhu repeated the same words to her.

Before she could even offer any advice, Liu Fang said shyly:

“Pearl, your sister-in-law was just about to tell you something.”

“Yesterday your brother heard that there were houses for sale in the back, so he took some time to go and see them today. The houses are a bit old; they are single-story houses built by the family.”

White Pearl's Joy:

"where?"

Liu Fang said, "It's located a little inside Boss Xia's house. There's a property certificate, and it shows over 100 square meters with a small yard. It costs 18,000 yuan."

"We're quite far behind."

Bai Chenglei and Liu Fang are both very shrewd people. Since they think the house is acceptable, it should be acceptable too.

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:

"It's alright, I'll lend you whatever you need first, so we can buy the house. A house of over 100 square meters costs 18,000, which is a pretty reasonable price."

Liu Fang was deeply moved:

"Pearl, I really don't know what to say."

Bai Zhenzhu laughed at her:

"Then let's not talk about it. Did you sign any contracts with your boss?"

Liu Fang said, "They meant tomorrow morning."

Bai Zhenzhu: "Then I'll drive him there tomorrow. I'm familiar with the procedures and stuff."

Liu Fang felt even more relieved:

"Over the years, your brother and I have saved some money, plus what we earned after coming to Yuan County, totaling 13,000 yuan. We're still short 5,000 yuan. Your sister-in-law will write you an IOU..."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Zhenzhu interrupted him:

"I'll lend you the money, but I won't write an IOU."

The restaurant and hot pot business is getting better and better now. It's only five thousand yuan. Knowing Liu Fang's personality, she'll definitely be anxious to pay it back in two or three months.

The next morning, before going to the housing management office, Bai Zhenzhu and Bai Chenglei went to the house for sale to take a look.

The house was indeed a very old three-room bungalow with a kitchen built next to it.

The small courtyard was very tidy, with scallions, garlic, and several rows of cucumbers, green beans, peppers, and other vegetables that had already started to climb the trellis.

The flagstones in the yard were peeling, but the owner had cleaned them up very well.

This house is really nice.

When Bai Zhenzhu looks at houses, she likes to observe the people living there to see if they are hardworking and honest, and whether a family is thriving.

I can only feel at ease buying a house like this.

The procedures went very smoothly.

As Bai Chenglei left the housing management office, he held the purchase contract and felt a deep sense of emotion.

They are now city dwellers and have a house in the city.

Bai Zhenzhu escorted Bai Chenglei and the previous homeowner back to the train station.

As soon as the car stopped at the intersection, Xia He and a young man in a white shirt came out of the alley side by side.

Who else could it be but Qin Ming?

Teacher Qin was dressed quite normally today, in a white shirt and suit pants, and looked much more pleasing to the eye.
