Chapter 35 A Visit From The Family (5)



That being said, Lin Zixiang also found Ye Zhiqiang intimidating. That boy was a sly one. He could be blunt when he wanted to. He didn’t care who he was talking to.

“Well then, give us travel expense and money for lunch. You don’t want to cook for us, at least pay for our meal.” One way or another, she was not going to leave empty handed.

Shu Yan feign strong reluctance to part with her $100. She made a mental note. This $100 would be considered the amount the original owner gave to her parents for the year. In this age, how many married daughters from a village could afford $100 a year? She was pretty generous already.

Lin Zixiang took the money disgruntledly while she stared intently at Shu Yan’s pocket with a strong urge to pull it open and see how much money she really had on her. She only stopped herself considering that her daughter had always been very honest. She looked around the living room and grabbed two cups from the table. “What’s the point of having daughters? You came all this way to visit her and she won’t even make you dinner.”

Wordlessly, Shu Yan watched the two of them leave. She felt sorry for the original owner. Never mind about Shu Jianxiang, who didn’t care about this sister at all. The entire time here, Lin Zixiang never said a kind word about her daughter’s well-being. She just wanted to make sure that she wouldn’t get a divorce. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to get more money in the future. The original owner was not a daughter in her eyes, just a tool for her to get more money.

Another ten or so minutes later, the potential buyers finally arrived. It was a man in his forties and he kept on apologizing to Shu Yan.

“I am so sorry I ran late.”

“No worries. That afforded me the opportunity to take another look at this house.” Shu Yan just made up some excuse. It was lucky that he ran late. Had he ran into Lin Zixiang, she would still be going on and on about it.

The house was right next to the new train station and very nicely located geographically. All the other houses in the area were already asking for $170,000 - $180,000. The $160,000 that Shu Yan was asking for was very fair.

After touring the house, the man made the decision with alacrity without even trying to barter down on the price.

Right after it was settled on this side, she got news from Shu Jianyang that the remaining house had also been sold for $150,000, along with all the furniture and appliances.

“Now that all your properties were sold, are you planning on leaving soon?” Shu Jianyang had a new found respect for Shu Yan in the last few days.

“Yeah, I plan on leaving tomorrow.”

“So soon?” Shu Jianyang didn’t expect her to be so efficient and just get up and leave like that.

“I had always plan on leaving within the next couple of days,” smiled Shu Yan. “Third Brother, I want to thank you so much for your help. Without you, that house and the $10,000 would be all I have for the rest of my life along with my two children.”

“You are not giving yourself enough credit. These were all your ideas. The only thing I have contributed was to have my men running errands was all. You’d have been able to take care of Ye Zhiqiang all by yourself even without my help.”

Shu Yan chuckled, “Third Brother has so much faith in me.”

The next morning, Shu Yan packed up the very limited items that the three of them possessed and got ready to head to the train station. She saw Shu Jianyang waiting for her as soon as she opened up the door.

“C’mon, let me give you a ride,” said Shu Jianyang as he took the sleeping Ye Tianbao from Shu Yan.

After they arrived at the train station, Shu Yan waved at Shu Jianyang, who was standing outside the train, and said, “Third Brother, you should go now. I’ll call you once I am settled down.”
