CHAPTER 310: CHAPTER 311: COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAM APPROACHING 5

Right now, housing prices are extremely cheap. In this town, you can buy a house for a mere one or two thousand, and fifty thousand is more than enough in Pingjing. It’s not like the sky-high prices in future eras, where even buying a bathroom in the Golden Triangle City can’t be done for fifty thousand.

Jiang Aiguo and Sun Li exchanged a glance, then Jiang Aiguo shook his head and said,

"Let’s forget it. We’ve lived in this town for most of our lives. Although it’s poor here, it’s still our roots.

Big cities are good, but they’re not suitable for us farmers.

Moreover, we can’t leave. If we do, the fruit and vegetable base at home won’t be manageable. We don’t want to suffer the foreign hardships of a big city."

Sun Li chuckled warmly,

"But we’ve already hired a construction crew to first renovate the house we’re living in into a brick and tile one, and then remodel the fruit and vegetable base to be more commendable.

That way, we won’t have to worry about leaks when it rains. As for the money at home, we’ve decided to save it all up, to save as much as we can.

By then, we’ll buy a courtyard house in Pingjing for you and Xiaotian each. I heard courtyard houses are beautiful, and it’ll serve as your dowries in the future."

Nianyang’s heart was slightly moved, and Jiang Tian immediately pouted coquettishly, "Mom, what are you talking about dowries for? Your daughter isn’t even of age yet, aren’t you embarrassed?"

Sun Li rolled her eyes at her, "At your age, I already had you in my belly. Speaking of adulthood, you and Yangyang are both turning 18 next month."

Yes, speaking of adulthood, Nianyang suddenly realized that since she arrived in this era, it hasn’t been too long or too short, more than half a year has passed.

Through it all, she gained quite a lot—family, love, and career are all there. She’s about to go to college and embrace a brighter future. These past six months were truly delightful and far more enriching than the 25 years of her previous life.

In the afternoon, Nianyang received a note from little Dou Dou, which was signed by Gu Youlan.

It only had one sentence: If you want to know your origins, come to see her now at Lao Lai Zhao’s house in the neighboring village.

Nianyang knew the safest choice was to ignore it, but thinking that Gu Youlan might really know the inside story, she thought to go and listen. After all, with Gu Youlan’s abilities, she couldn’t really do anything to her.

Gu Youlan had guessed that Nianyang wouldn’t just ignore the note, so she was already waiting at the door. Seeing Nianyang come over, a trace of viciousness flashed in her eyes, and in a hoarse voice, she said, "You finally came."

Nianyang was startled by the sight of Gu Youlan. How did she change like this in just over a month’s time?

Not to mention her tattered clothes, her face was bruised and there’s a strangling mark on her neck. Compared to her former delicate flower-like appearance, she now looked like a proper aunt!

Nianyang had already known that marrying Zhao Lao Lai wouldn’t grant Gu Youlan a good life, but seeing her in such a miserable state—

Nianyang truly felt a sense of satisfaction!

"Gu Youlan, what do you mean by what you wrote on the note?"

"If you want to know, come in and I’ll tell you."

Nianyang didn’t move,

"Don’t try any tricks. I just want to hear what you have to say from here. If you won’t speak, then forget it."

Gu Youlan glanced at Nianyang with cold eyes, "What are you afraid of? Look at what I am now. Do you think I can do anything to you? What I have to say is complex and can’t be explained while standing. Come in, sit down, and listen to me. Don’t worry, Zhao Lao Lai isn’t home."

Nianyang didn’t trust Gu Youlan’s nonsense, but she really wanted to know about the original owner’s origins. Since she could protect herself, what storm could she possibly cause by just going inside for a while?
