Chapter 457: Chapter 453: Hmph~ I Got a Sweet Deal!
He was about to leave when he bumped into Li Cuixin.
Li Cuixin was in a good mood, but the neighbors couldn’t be bothered with her. This old woman was so troublesome.
No matter what the matter was, as long as she gained any advantage, she’d be happy.
If she couldn’t get an advantage, to her, it was a loss, and she’d make a scene until she gained something, only then would she be satisfied.
In the whole courtyard, it was only her family, and her reputation was absolutely abysmal, yet she was oddly proud of it.
She felt she was saving money for the family and securing benefits.
Everyone should respect her, keep her happy.
In the future, she might even teach them a thing or two.
Unbeknownst to her, her reputation was already ruined well into the streets, with even cats and dogs hating her.
As for her tricks...
To put it bluntly, she was shameless.
To be more detailed, it was crying, fighting, and threatening to hang herself. She’d make the whole house restless, and naturally, Li Cuixin’s goal was achieved.
Anyone who got entangled with her basically wouldn’t fight her head-on, because this woman was truly shameless and utterly reckless. They would choose to hold their nose and suffer the loss.
Adhering to the principle of spending a little to solve a big trouble.
But with this mentality, it indulged Li Cuixin’s family even more, making them more overbearing and excessive.
"Yo, Wang, where are you going? Not going to have breakfast early in the morning, what are you doing in the yard?"
Wang didn’t want to be scolded to his face by her. Who would, with nothing better to do, step in a pile of crap?
He casually replied, "Yeah, just about to eat. Why? You’re smiling so happily, found some money on the way?"
"Hahaha," Li Cuixin thought of the soon-to-be-acquired underpriced house and laughed even more brightly, waving her hand, "Oh, it’s not like I found money, but if you put it that way, it’s almost the same."
Anyway, getting a three-thousand-dollar house for thirteen hundred is pretty much like picking up seventeen hundred. What’s the difference?
Looking at the place where Zhang Cheng and his grandpa lived, Li Cuixin sneered slightly. Hmph! With the way these two can’t hold onto money, it’s like doing them a favor by spending it.
Wang felt something wasn’t quite right, glanced at Li Cuixin, and asked, "Finding money is finding money, how is this ’almost’?"
Seeing Wang’s genuine curiosity, plus Li Cuixin did want to show off.
She then recounted the deal that was already as good as done, "Oh! Speaking of which, I have to thank that kid Zhang Cheng.
He and his grandpa just returned from the countryside with several houses in their hands. I don’t know what got into them, but they insisted on selling them all.
Out of the goodness of my heart, I thought of giving them a hand and bought one. But the price was quite fair. That house, if bought on the market...
How to say, it would be at least three thousand, right? I got it for just thirteen hundred."
On hearing this, Wang only felt a chill in his heart.
Goodness, this old hag is getting more and more shameless. A three-thousand-dollar house, you dare to buy it for thirteen hundred.
Wait!
It only dawned on Wang just then that Li Cuixin, who was always crying about being poor and scrounging for advantages everywhere, actually had thirteen hundred!
Thinking that some of that thirteen hundred might have come from his family’s contributions, Wang felt even more bitter inside.
"He sold it?"
"Mm, pretty much."
Li Cuixin casually replied, "Last night, it was just about settled. It’s just that kid Zhang Cheng. His personality is so indecisive, usually can’t even get a word out of him without a push.
Now he’s hesitating too. What could have been settled with a few words, he just has to consider."
After speaking, Li Cuixin sighed and smiled, "Luckily, I’m naturally magnanimous and thought of giving him one more night to think it over properly.
Isn’t it agreed he’ll give me an answer the next day?"
Wang: "..."
Why doesn’t the heavens just send a bolt of lightning and strike this shameless old woman dead?
How is this magnanimous? This is simply tantamount to throwing an abacus right at one’s face, scheming to the core.
The face of someone who gains an advantage while pretending to be noble is really detestable.
Li Cuixin, unaware that Wang was cursing her inside, looked at Zhang Cheng’s place, its doors tightly shut, and wondered, "Speaking of which, are they not up yet?"
In a flash of insight, Wang suddenly understood something.
Just now, why did Zhang Cheng and his grandpa behave so strangely?
It turns out that wasn’t a simple neighborly conversation, but a farewell.
They were leaving!
At that thought, Wang was practically overjoyed.
He maintained a calm demeanor and even joined in the wondering, "Who knows, probably aren’t up. Think about it, back in Capital City, there’s not much else to do.
Why get up so early? Who knows how much hardship they endured in the countryside; sleeping in a bit is nothing."
Li Cuixin mockingly, "Indeed, they have several houses, sleeping in isn’t an issue, but what about you?"
Facing the sudden attack, Wang was dumbfounded too.
No, did this old woman suddenly turn into a mad dog?
Just talking normally a moment ago, why did she suddenly start biting everyone?
Li Cuixin pointed accusingly, "Wang, Wang, not that I’m saying you. You, as a man, are really incompetent.
Your whole family is crammed in that tiny abode, so cramped you can’t even turn around once inside.
Really don’t know how you can still smile. If I were you, in a hurry, I’d be desperate to hang myself with a rope."
Wang: "..."
Thinking about his frustrations lately, Wang didn’t hold back and retorted, "What? Have you gotten addicted to bullying people?
Don’t underestimate others, I’m telling you, my little home, I live just fine. Don’t need you turning your nose up at me!
Plenty of people have no place to call home out there!"
Wang found satisfaction, having a place to shelter from the elements was far better than those who slept in makeshift huddles.
Then, he fully unleashed his fighting spirit, "If you want to die, you can hang yourself with a rope.
But I’m not going, I’d rather live poorly than die well.
First thing in the morning, yammering away! Who do you think you are nagging at? Now you’re even meddling in my affairs, what’s up with your man?
Hasn’t he slapped you around these days? Is that why you’re starting to strut around again."
Finishing his words, Wang spat and turned to leave.
Damn, talking to someone like that is really bad luck.
Li Cuixin was taken aback.
She couldn’t believe it, honest Wang actually got angry.
Scratching her head, "Did this old man eat gunpowder today?"
Luckily, Li Cuixin was in an unusually good mood today.
"Hmph!"
Li Cuixin spat towards where Wang had left, "I spit, as if I don’t know what you’re thinking. Isn’t it just envy towards the cheap house I’m about to get?"
She boasted, "Hey! I’m telling you, you can’t envy it!"
Hmph!
Turning away, leaving.
Li Cuixin was planning to get something to eat.
