Li Huan really wanted to go with her, but looking at the three children with red faces sleeping, he could only nod and ask her to be careful, after all, it was the provincial capital.
Cheng Qiao flashed into the space, changed into warm underwear and cashmere sweaters, added a small down vest on the outside, put on a brown turtleneck sweater, and appeared in front of Li Huan.
"Qiao, you are so beautiful."
Cheng Qiao gave Li Huan a look that showed he was an expert in buying goods, then put on the cashmere coat she had just bought today, picked up a large black handbag, and turned to leave the guesthouse.
Walking lazily on the street, looking at the familiar streets, Cheng Qiao's heart was unusually excited. The grocery store in his previous life was not far from the guesthouse, just a little more than one stop away.
More than ten minutes later, Cheng Qiao stood by the road, looking at a dozen old houses and nearly an acre and a half of wasteland behind the houses. She couldn't help but shake her head and sigh. She came a few years early and this place has not yet become what it was in her previous life.
"Girl, who are you looking for?"
An old woman's voice appeared, and Cheng Qiao recognized this old lady at a glance, the old lady who sold the homestead to her in her previous life.
"Grandma, I'm looking for you."
"Girl, do we know each other?"
"Grandma, my name is Cheng Qiao. I want to ask if there are any houses for sale here. I want to buy one."
The old lady's eyes flickered. She was alone and helpless, and the only valuable thing she had was the residential land under the house. However, private buying and selling was not allowed now, so even if she wanted to sell it, she had no way to do so.
"Grandma, won't you invite me in to talk?"
The old lady smiled wryly and nodded. Her home was very shabby, but it would be fine as long as the girl didn't mind.
As soon as she entered the room, Cheng Qiao took out a stack of money and placed it on the only piece of furniture in the room, a bed. The old lady was stunned for a moment. This money...
"Grandma, I know that homesteads cannot be bought and sold now. I'm paying you this money in advance. I'll pay the rest in five years. Can you sell this land to me?"
"How much do you want to buy it for?"
The old lady's eyes flashed shrewdly, but she didn't touch the stack of money. Instead, she asked about the price. In her previous life, Cheng Qiao spent ten thousand yuan to buy the two acres of land, and spent another five thousand yuan to build a two-story grocery store.
"Grandma, how about I give you 10,000 yuan?"
"Ten thousand dollars!"
The old lady originally thought that Cheng Qiao would only give a few thousand dollars, but she never expected it to be so much. She couldn't help but get excited and stared at Cheng Qiao.
Cheng Qiao nodded, but before she could say anything, the old lady pulled out a box from under the bed, then took out a tightly wrapped cloth bag. When she opened the bag, she found a yellowed land deed.
"Let's go and transfer the ownership right away."
"ah… "
"I know the guy at the Housing Authority. Just give him some money. But don't say 10,000 yuan. How about 5,000 yuan?"
Cheng Qiao reacted immediately and quickly took out another four thousand yuan from her handbag and handed it to the old lady. The old lady carefully put the money into the box and pushed it back under the bed.
"Girl, I have a request. Leave this house to me. I don't have many years left to live. When I die, you can take this house away. You can build other places as you like."
Cheng Qiao nodded and agreed. In her previous life, the old lady took the money and left. In this life, she came several years earlier, and she probably didn't think the old lady was ready yet.
The two walked for more than ten minutes and saw a house with a sign that said "Housing Management Office". They pushed the door and went in. A middle-aged man was sitting inside, smoking and reading a newspaper.
"Grandma, what's up?"
"Xiao Xu, help me with the transfer procedure, and I'll give you a commission, 10% of the selling price."
Cheng Qiao was surprised by the old lady's straightforwardness and hoped that the man would not make a big deal out of it. To Cheng Qiao's surprise, the man put down the newspaper, opened the drawer and took out a transfer certificate.
"How much is it and to whom is it transferred?"
"Five thousand yuan, transfer it to this girl. Girl, do you have a household registration booklet or a letter of introduction? Take it out and give it to Comrade Xiao Xu."
Cheng Qiao took out the letter of introduction, pointed at her own name, and took out five thousand yuan and put it on the table. The thick stack of money made the man surnamed Xu narrow his eyes.
He quickly registered the old lady's house deed on the new transfer certificate, stamped it with the housing management office's unique seal, wrote a new house deed certificate, and stamped it again.
"Here, your title deed. Check it."
Cheng Qiao took the house deed, and it was exactly the same as in the previous life. As well as the transfer certificate, except for the name of the person in charge, everything else was exactly the same. Her nose suddenly felt sore.
"Here, here are five hundred dollars. I promised to give it to you."
The old lady counted out five hundred yuan and handed it to the person in charge. The person in charge was already grinning from ear to ear. In just a short while, he earned a year's salary.
"Grandma, the situation has been tense these past few years, so I won't come over. I'll come back in a few years. I'll leave this place to you."
After leaving the Housing Management Office, Cheng Qiao squeezed the old lady's hand and whispered in her ear. The old lady understood clearly in her eyes and nodded in agreement with a smile.
This piece of land is no longer hers, and no one will bother her anymore. She should thank this girl very much.
"Don't worry, this land is no longer mine, and my life will be much better in the future. But you'd better come here twice a year to see the changes here."
Cheng Qiao smiled and nodded, and put the title deed into her handbag, actually into the space. However, when the title deed entered the space, Cheng Qiao suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.
"Girl, what's wrong with you? Sit down."
Cheng Qiao shook his head, leaned against the wall, closed his eyes, and entered the space with his consciousness. Only then did he find that his space had changed drastically. Even the red-headed viper and the Saker Falcon were stunned and at a loss.
The black soil, which was originally only more than one acre, has expanded more than doubled, and at the end of the black soil, a trickle of water appeared, slowly seeping into the soil. Does this mean that we don't need to water it anymore in the future
Looking at his two-story building again, there seemed to be no changes, but why was there an extra house next to it? Cheng Qiao really wanted to enter the space to take a look, but because there was an old lady outside, he held back.
"Girl, are you okay? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"
Cheng Qiao opened her eyes, trying hard to suppress the excitement in her heart, and smiled and shook her head: "Thank you, grandma. I didn't have lunch. I guess I fainted from hunger."
The old lady looked at Cheng Qiao speechlessly. The person who could come up with 10,000 yuan actually didn't eat lunch. Wouldn't he be able to collect the 10,000 yuan if he had lunch
Cheng Qiao looked at the old lady with amusement as she looked confused. It should be the space upgrade that caused the dizziness. Now that the upgrade is completed, her mental strength has reached a new level.
