Gu Ruhai and Li Xuei imdiately perked up upon hearing this. Indeed, when calculated like this, the house is definitely worth it.

"You scared to death."

Gu Ruhai poked his daughter’s forehead, finally feeling relieved at heart, at least having a clue.

Gu Xiaoqing giggled foolishly.

Li Xuei, still protective of her daughter, imdiately slapped Gu Ruhai’s hand and said, "Don’t poke, she’s a big girl, poking like that will leave a mark and won’t look good."

With this calculation, both of them felt reassured.

This is indeed a big sum of money; just the rent can earn twelve thousand.

Without doing anything.

Not even needing to lift a finger.

If this happened in their village, it would be unimaginable, like a pie falling from the sky.

Li Xuei suddenly thought of her elder and second brothers, and asked Gu Xiaoqing, "Xiaoqing, do you think it would be possible for your uncles to buy a unit too? Would it be difficult to ask Director Li?"

Gu Xiaoqing thought for a mont and said, "Actually, without going through Director Li, we can still buy a house. How about this, Mom? When we go back, let my uncles co next ti, take a look, and if they’re interested, they can wander around and ask around. Surely, there are houses for sale there. The houses there aren’t valuable now.

This way, we don’t have to trouble Director Li, and we don’t owe anyone a favor."

This was Gu Xiaoqing’s original plan, but with He Cui’s help, things turned out differently this ti.

Li Xuei agreed upon hearing this.

The whole family imdiately felt at ease.

The next day, Gu Xiaoqing called He Cui. After all, these things were facilitated through her connections; they couldn’t just leave without saying goodbye.

Upon hearing they were returning, He Cui was straightforward and arranged for a driver to take them to the bus station.

Gu Ruhai’s family spent a whole day traveling back to the village.

Without a word, Li Xuei withdrew all the money. Back then, savings banks weren’t accessible everywhere; you had to withdraw from where you deposited.

Otherwise, you couldn’t withdraw.

There was no such thing as remote quick withdrawal.

Li Xuei specially visited her maternal ho to tell Li Weimin and Li Weiqiang about the situation—earning six thousand a year in rent—which imdiately piqued their interest.

They also saved twenty thousand this year, ten thousand per family.

Thinking of this opportunity, why not?

After all, it’s the big city, even if they don’t move there, selling the house still makes money.

It won’t be a loss.

Moreover, hearing about the city’s benefits from Li Xuei, they thought of venturing out—a big city seed like a distant dream to them.

But since their niece would study there, everything seed different.

The final agreent was that two days later, Li Weimin, Li Weiqiang, Gu Ruhai, and Gu Xiaoqing would go, while Li Xuei stayed ho with the kids.

This ti was much quicker.

Upon arriving, the four spent a night and found Li Shangmin the following day.

Li Shangmin was straightforward, helping Gu Xiaoqing find several sellers, and soone led them to see the houses.

Due to the obstruction of a high-rise in front, the location was remote, and many owners weren’t satisfied. Those with other properties wanted to sell quickly.

Buying was therefore easy.

Gu Xiaoqing fancied two units at the start of the comrcial street—a ground and upper floor, with an area of about 170-180 square ters each. Except for the older staircase, they were fairly presentable.

After negotiating with the seller, they agreed on a price cut of a thousand, settling at fifteen thousand. Once decided, they went to the housing authority for the transfer procedures.

Back then, the housing authority was mainly procedural. Few preferred coming here for paperwork because it was cumberso, ti-consuming, and costly.

Most just signed private contracts.

But Gu Xiaoqing, having the foresight of modern ideas, preferred the hassle to avoid future disputes with the anticipated property price surge.

Besides, with Li Shangmin’s connections, the process was expedited.

Li Weimin and Li Weiqiang also chose two units, paid, and completed formalities.

They did this alongside Gu Xiaoqing and the others.

Two days later, Gu Xiaoqing’s group received the transfer docunts.

The property certificate clearly bore the nas of Gu Ruhai and Li Xuei.

This was per Gu Xiaoqing’s request, for future convenience.

Who knows what might happen in the future?

Gu Xiaoqing’s group returned to the village.

By the ti they secured the property, it was already late July.

Gu Xiaoqing pondered heading to the city early to tidy up the property.

The unified planning of the food street ant they could open after renovations.

It’s best to set up the restaurant before school starts to prevent their parents from struggling.

The family also needed settling in.

Plus, Gu Xiaojie needed to find a school.

In early August, Gu Xiaoqing’s family moved, though before leaving, Gu Ruhai stopped by Mr. Gu’s, where Mrs. Gu stubbornly refused them entry. So, Gu Ruhai relayed their city move at the gate, leaving a phone number—the one left by the house’s previous owner.

They could still use it.

He told Mr. and Mrs. Gu to call if needed, and they left.

Mr. and Mrs. Gu didn’t expect Gu Ruhai’s family to leave.

It was the big city.

Mrs. Gu maliciously hoped that if Gu Ruhai’s family struggled and spent most of their money, and ca back destitute seeking help from them, it would be utterly satisfying.

Whether this was one’s biological or step-mother was questionable.

Gu Ruhai’s family entered the city.

They exerted effort cleaning up the property, not needing to hire anyone. Li Weimin and Li Weiqiang also brought their sons and daughters, making work progress swift.

Moreover, both Li Weimin and Li Weiqiang possessed carpentry and masonry skills, so renovating Gu Ruhai’s house wasn’t difficult.

Once there, they heard that the tower block was indeed demolished ten days after they left, and the news of the planned food street stunned many.

Property prices soared in just twenty days, with their kind of property now valued at fifteen thousand each.

Many began renovations, aid at leasing.

Rental rates were clear—six thousand per year.

This thrilled Gu Ruhai’s family.

Their fifteen-thousand investnt doubled to thirty-thousand instantly, like making rocket-fast profits.

Li Xuei and Gu Ruhai felt imnse gratitude towards He Cui.

Thinking they must thank her properly soday. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndations, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian to read.)
