Chapter 59 Poverty

Su Qingtong and Sister-in-law Liang walked around in the newly bought house.

Suddenly, Liang's sister-in-law pointed to a window facing the street and smiled: "When I was a teenager, I often secretly hid behind this window with the girls in this family, the window carved with orchids and swastikas, watching a boy pass downstairs. The boy lived next door, and every morning he went to school at seven o'clock in the morning, and came home from here between four and five o'clock in the afternoon, and over time, he felt that we were peeking at him, and one day he suddenly looked at us, and we were so frightened that we hid behind the window lattice and did not dare to move, and then the boy married his cousin, and the girl of the family cried for a long time, and then he married Nanyang, and I also married my current husband. ”

Su Qingtong asked, "Does that boy still live on the next street now?" ”

Sister-in-law Liang sighed and shook her head and said, "That person died soon after getting married, and in order to hide an underground worker, I really can't see it at all." ”

"Died so early!"

Sister-in-law Liang said: "No, he was only nineteen years old that year, I was only sixteen years old, my sister was seventeen years old, and now we are both in our fifties, and time has really passed in the blink of an eye." ”

Su Qingtong suddenly realized, why Sister-in-law Liang wanted to buy this house, it was because she had too many good memories, which may be the reason why she led her over to see the house so enthusiastically in the morning, there is a kind of nostalgia in it.

When Sister-in-law Liang left, Su Qingtong sealed a red envelope of 50 yuan to her, saying that she would ask Sister-in-law Liang to take care of the house in the future, so she must accept the money.

Sister-in-law Liang happily took it and said, "Don't worry, I can definitely help you, but the big house you bought with so much money is a bit of a waste." ”

Su Qingtong said with a smile: "I plan to change the room in the southeast to a faΓ§ade for rent, if I rent it out, I can make a little money back, right?" ”

Sister-in-law Liang said: "That's exactly what I said, your house is in a good location, you can change seven or eight shops at will, and each shop rents three hundred yuan a month, which is worth the salary of three people, why is it not good?" ”

Su Qingtong replied with a smile: "Okay, naturally, I plan to ask a few people to help open a few doors, and Sister-in-law Liang has a plasterer I know to help introduce a few." ”

Axi's sister-in-law hurriedly said: "Yes, I am looking for a plasterer who has done it nearby for repair, and I will bring him over tomorrow to have a look, and say the good price first, so as not to be unclear when I get it." ”

"It's going to trouble Sister-in-law Liang."

Sister-in-law Liang said, "What's the trouble? It's just a matter of saying it in passing. ”

Su Qingtong waited for Sister-in-law Liang to leave, and walked around the house again, and then shook into the space.

Qinglian asked, "Has the house been bought?" ”

Su Qingtong looked at the house by the pond and said, "It's bought, why hasn't that house moved?" ”

Qinglian held her cheeks and looked at the misty courtyard and said, "Maybe I didn't poke its itch." ”

Su Qingtong laughed out loud: "What nonsense, where is there an itch in this house." ”

Qinglian said: "The master doesn't believe it, and I can't say it clearly, everything has a spirit, it must be that the house we bought doesn't have the taste of the house in the upper space." ”

Su Qingtong turned around helplessly and said, "I really have no choice, I don't have a few dollars left." ”

A few days later, Su Qingtong was discussing the renovation with the invited workers, when a group of fierce gangsters suddenly poured in.

Chen Laoqi, who Su Qingtong had been guarding against in his heart, finally came, and rushed in with more than 20 people with knives and sticks and smashed them, he should have heard that the house was sold to Su Qingtong, and he couldn't be angry in his heart.

The renovation workers were so frightened that they scattered and fled, but fortunately, Liang's sister-in-law's nephew rushed over after receiving the news, otherwise Su Qingtong would have to suffer a big loss.

Liang's nephew had already been asked by Liang's sister-in-law, and had been paying attention to the mansion on Silk Street, so he rushed over to persuade him as soon as possible, and then became a lobbyist and pulled the two sides together to make peace.

Chen Lao Qishi opened his mouth to ask for 5,000 yuan in compensation, and said that it was for the sake of Liang's sister-in-law's nephew's face.

Su Qingtong was naturally unwilling, now 5,000 yuan is a huge amount of money, she is only willing to pay 1,000 yuan at most, Chen Laoqi was not satisfied, and almost beat her in front of Liang's sister-in-law's nephew.

Su Qingtong was really a little afraid, mainly in front of so many people, she didn't dare to use the space, and she really couldn't help more than 20 people with her real skills.

In the end, it was easy to say that the tea fee of 2,000 yuan was paid, in short, Su Qingtong was bleeding hemorrhage, and Chen Laoqi also knew that the matter was irreparable, and with the help of Liang's sister-in-law's nephew, he had to take the money and leave, and when he went out, he glared at Su Qingtong viciously and said, "You will be careful for me in the future." ”

Su Qingtong couldn't bear this breath, and when he returned to the space, he sent Qinglian out to find Chen Laoqi's discomfort.

A few days later, Chen Laoqi had an argument with someone over a trivial matter, and his leg was cut off inexplicably.

As the saying goes, 'take advantage of your illness, you will die', his subordinates saw that Chen Laoqi was gone, so they sold all the real estate that Chen Laoqi had robbed, and then looted his property, and finally Chen Laoqi was forced to flee to other places and never appeared in G City again.

Soon after, Su Qingtong changed the five rooms on the road to the street into five storefronts, and as soon as the faΓ§ade was formed, someone came to the door to ask for rent, saying that all the five shops on the road were all used to open a restaurant.

Su Qingtong does not like the tenants who open hotels, mainly because they pollute the environment too much, so they can rent or not, saying 100 yuan a month for each room, and 500 yuan a month for five rooms regardless of size.

Sister-in-law Liang was blindsided at the time, thinking to herself, who wants it to be so expensive? Who knew that someone would say yes.

Su Qingtong also frowned, thinking that it was so expensive, did she take a fancy to the old objects in her house, and then slowly steal them while she was away? When the time comes, things are gone, and what is the use of her finding him.

In short, this house is enough for her heartache if it is broken by a brick, forget it, forget it, it's better not to rent it, it's better to sublet it to self-employed people who buy clothes and department stores.

But Shen Liang took a fancy to this land, after he learned what the landlord was worried about, he proposed three chapters of the law, not to damage the house brick by brick, he blocked all the doors to the patio, and from now on he could only enter from the door of the store, Su Qingtong was relieved, the contract was signed for five years, and the rent rose by 15% every year.

Shen Liang agreed, but he put forward the only condition, that is, to plant vegetables in the vegetable garden at the back, Su Qingtong originally thought that if you want to plant vegetables, you can plant it, think about it carefully, to go to the vegetable garden, you have to go through the patio, as well as the hall and the wing, and you can also go up to the second floor, which seems to conflict with the three chapters of the law.

"Nowadays, vegetables are not expensive, so why grow them yourself?"

Shen Liang said: "It's not a question of whether it's expensive or not, but a mood, customers will have a wonderful sense of satisfaction when they look at the vegetables they have just picked, and they will feel happy when they eat it, and what we want is this effect, if you think that going in and out of the vegetable garden will destroy the residence behind you, I can open a door on the back wall, which is usually locked, and only my own people go in and out." ”

Su Qingtong is actually happy to have someone help her reclaim the back garden, which is better than being deserted, but she really doesn't want to be occupied by others for too much territory, no matter how Shen Liang does ideological work, she still hesitates and says, "I have to think about it." ”

Shen Liang took another dose of fierce medicine: "I can pay the rent of the vegetable garden, three hundred yuan a year, if the lease is terminated, I will return it to you to the original state, and I will definitely tidy up the backyard, and it will be convenient for you to come back and use it when the time comes." ”

Su Qingtong said: "If you terminate the lease, you can't give it to me as it is now, but you have to plant vegetables for me, which must be made clear in the contract." ”

Shen Liang thought at the time, who wants to say that an eleven or twelve-year-old girl is young and ignorant, he must kill him, come and see this little landlord, that is a little fox, obviously he helped her reclaim wasteland and guard the yard, but he said that he would affect the overall effect of the yard wall, how much can a wall be worth if it looks the best? But she said that she was unparalleled in the world, and in the end, he said a lot of good things, and she reluctantly agreed to let him grow vegetables.

After Su Qingtong took care of the property in City G, he returned to City C.

C City is in a hurry to acquire the old houses on Chengnan Road, saying that they are being bought one by one, in fact, it is similar to the later expropriation, but these properties are all private property, and there is no forced person to sell, but because the purchase price of the fairy world was not cheap at that time, everyone flocked to sign up and was willing to sell the house to the fairy world.

Among them, the most expensive one is 20,000 yuan, the area and location are very good, and the cheapest is 6 or 7,000 yuan, which is valued according to the area and location.

At this time, there was no commercial housing in City C, but some units began to sell houses and change houses, and even build fund-raising houses.

At that time, the market price of real estate was that there was a two-bedroom unit for two or three thousand yuan for an old house, and the unit house to be built was only five or six thousand, and the area was only eight thousand to ten thousand, so many people were willing to sell the old house to Su Qingtong, and then take the money to the unit for a new house.

Su Qingtong looked at the entire street that had almost been bought, and asked Qinglian: "Do these properties and land count as mine?" ”

Qinglian said, "It's definitely yours." ”

"But why hasn't the space house come out yet? What exactly is its itch? ”

Qinglian thought for a moment, and then replied, "It's about that the house hasn't been bought enough to buy. ”

Su Qingtong shook his head and said, "I don't believe your nonsense anymore, you want me to buy a house and land until I go bankrupt." ”

Qinglian said: "Didn't you say that in a few decades, housing prices will rise to sky-high prices? It's always good to buy more these days. ”

Su Qingtong sighed and said: "But Chengnan Road is a hole that is not filled, I have already stuffed all the company's money into it, and I don't know how much money to go in before I can hear a sound." ”

Qinglian kicked a few mahogany boxes under the fruit tree and said, "Why don't you sell these, it's an eyesore to put here." ”

Su Qingtong hesitated and said: "Don't do it, this is Su Facai, that guy was reincarnated as my cousin again, if I use his things, I'm afraid he won't let me go." ”

"If it weren't for the master's help in these things, they would have been taken away by those two men a long time ago, where is his turn to get a star and a half, how can half of it be the master's deserving."

Su Qingtong thought to herself, yes, if she hadn't been in the space at that time, wouldn't she have been snatched away by the man in black who came from behind.

thought to herself, if Jin dared to accuse her of taking advantage of him, she would have to wrestle with him.

Seven or eight months old Jin Zi was white and fat, and his wrists were full of deep flesh slits, and at the moment he was wearing a yellow gown with a picture of a duckling sitting in the cradle and babbling, because he had baby teeth, and always liked to bite things, so his mother hung a hay on his wrist.

The gold gnawed the hay like a small unkempt brush, and the saliva drenched the placket.

Su Qingtong couldn't bear to look at the gold that was covered in saliva, silently put the fruit in her hand on the table, and then looked at the gold quietly, she really didn't believe that this was the reincarnation of Su Facai.

Wen Yulan sat on the edge of the cradle and tied the soles of her shoes, glanced at the fruit that Su Qingtong put on the table and said, "It's not easy for you to make money, you buy things every time, why don't you keep them for your future studies." ”

Su Qingtong replied: "It's not worth a few dollars, give gold and his sister a relief." ”

Wen Yulan asked again: "Don't you have to go to City C every weekend?" How can I be free today? ”

Su Qingtong said: "Occasionally, if you are lazy, you don't have to go every day, and besides, when I go, it's just to help the helper see something." ”

Wen Yulan smiled and said, "You are a competitive person, you can help your family make money at such a young age." ”

Su Qingtong said: "I can't make much, but I just subsidize some families."

Su Qingtong broke a few words with her aunt and asked, "Auntie, do you want to do something?" Hurry up and get busy, I happen to be here, I can help you take care of the two sisters and brothers, lest there be no one to watch you when I leave. ”

Wen Yulan really wanted to go to the back mountain to peel pig vegetables, so she hurriedly said: "It's okay, you help me take care of it for a while, I'll come back immediately, and I'll stay with my aunt for dinner today." ”

"I won't eat the meal, my aunt will go and get busy first."

Wen Yulan carried the bamboo basket on her back and walked to the mountain behind the house.

Su Qingtong immediately said to the gold in the cradle with a sad face: "Jinzi, the eldest sister is very poor now, and I want to tell you about what we hid at the beginning." ”

When she asked this, the eldest cousin Shui Qing next to her looked at her in a daze, and then looked at her younger brother, unable to understand the meaning of the eldest cousin's words, and curious about what the eldest cousin and her younger brother were hiding.

Jin Zi waved his little hands and feet and screamed crookedly, and he didn't know what he said, he looked very excited, but he was afraid that Su Qingtong would tease him to talk.

Su Qingtong didn't care, and then said: "Gold, my eldest cousin is really poor, I have to invest a lot of money in construction on Chengnan Road, but my supply is limited, and the money I can make is also limited, the only way I can think of is the boxes you left."

Shui Qing only listened stupidly and asked, "Sister Qing, can those boxes of gold really be sold for money?" If you want, let the master carpenter make a few games for you when the time comes. ”

Su Qingtong glanced at his eldest cousin Shui Qing and said, "You don't understand, your brother understands, in short, I am short of money now, and I want to use the collection that gold gave me at the beginning." ”

Shui Qing only thought that his cousin was funny, and laughed with a grin: "What good things can gold have, if you fancy something about gold, just take it away, or you will ask my mother for a new one." ”

Jin Zi couldn't speak, holding his saliva, looking at his sister and Su Qingtong smirking.

In the end, Su Qingtong said: "Jinzi, although those things are yours, but the eldest sister has taken a lot of effort to grab them, I can't share half of them, right?" If you agree, call once, and if you don't, call three. ”

Jin Zi looked at her and smirked, and then called twice, Su Qingtong didn't wait for him to call out the third time, and immediately got up and said, "Then I will take you as an agreement, don't worry, I will leave half of it for you at that time." ”

Jin Zi looked at the place where Su Qingtong suddenly disappeared and waved his little hands and feet, and screamed loudly, and his saliva flowed even more.

The month-old gold didn't know anything, but there was a strange panic in his expression about to lose something important.

Su Qingtong wine and Qinglian, who returned to the space, took it for granted, and confidently chose four mahogany boxes to keep, and the other four were hidden on Qinglian Mountain, ready to be used for gold.

Su Qingtong doesn't know about cultural relics and antiques, so he really can't see which ones are more valuable, and the four boxes he chose are really randomly selected.

There were calligraphy and paintings, ceramics, books, and many strange objects in these four boxes, which she couldn't read, and she didn't know how much they were worth.

However, Qinglian was quite interested in those books, and let out an exclamation from time to time: "Master, Su Facai turned out to be an onmyoji. ”

Su Qingtong opened the calligraphy and painting, looked at it again, poked his head out and asked, "How can you see it?"

"Look, this is a feng shui book."

Su Qingtong said 'oh' and said, "People who have feng shui books don't necessarily have feng shui skills. ”

Qinglian itself is feng shui, he has lived for more than 300 years, and he also knows traditional characters, it is not strange to understand it, at this moment he glanced at the master with disgust and said: "Master, this is a book of organs, do you know Lu Ban?" Guiguzi"

Su Qingtong had no interest, and was bent on finding gold and silver.

Qinglian continued to rummage helplessly, and after a while, he saw him pick up a handful of swarthy strange triangular things and look at them, a bit similar to the later triangular rulers, with many strange symbols engraved on them.

Qinglian read a book for a while and looked at a ruler for a while, and the whole person fell into it.

Su Qingtong didn't bother to pay attention to him, sorted out the calligraphy, painting, porcelain, and thought that it was inconvenient to sell porcelain and carry, the target was too big, and it was inconvenient to take it in and out of the space, so he picked out a few ancient characters that looked like they felt average and said, "Let's go sell these things." ”

Qinglian shouted excitedly as if she had discovered a new continent at this moment: "Master, come and see, this is a good thing." ”

Su Qingtong leaned over and took a look, it was still the triangular ruler, but he only felt plain and unremarkable: "What kind of good thing is this?" How much can it be sold for? ”

The corners of Qinglian's eyes twitched a few times, calmed down the excitement just now, and said: "It can't be valued with money, it is a priceless treasure, it should be said to be a rare treasure, in short, it is a very rare treasure." ”
