Xia Chujian returned home around nine in the morning.
Her neighborhood was very quiet.
Most people were either at work or school, and there were hardly any idle people like in those wealthy neighborhoods.
Xia Chujian quite liked this atmosphere.
She walked quickly, barely encountering anyone.
Finally, she arrived in front of the drab building where she lived and looked up.
The building wasn't short, but it wasn't particularly tall either, appearing to have twelve floors.
However, the top twelfth floor was actually an attic-style duplex belonging to an apartment on the eleventh floor.
The true top floor of the building was only the eleventh.
She and her aunt had once owned a three-bedroom apartment on the eleventh floor.
Three years ago, after her aunt was hospitalized, Xia Chujian had taken the initiative to sell the apartment for 30,000 Beichen Coins to pay for her aunt's medical expenses.
She then rented a storage room from someone on the first floor, just to have a place to sleep at night.
The rent was very cheap, and she could afford it.
But now, she was different.
Besides the 500,000 Beichen Coins she had obtained from her B-Grade Merit, there were also the 300,000 Beichen Coins Zong Ruoan had paid her for the bulletproof vest, and the 30,000 Beichen Coins Su Buyan had given her as a joining bonus.
In addition, she had a deposit of 50 million Beichen Coins in her account!
Although she couldn't use it yet, the feeling of having money in her account was different.
She felt like her voice had become a bit louder for no reason.
Besides, she still had the Wild Rhinoceros Pig Big Tooth and Pig Kidneys!
Xia Chujian returned to her small room, which had been empty for more than ten days. She first put down the gun case and the box of Advanced Nutrient Solution, and then used her newly acquired Quantum Optical Brain account to send a message to Li Fu.
[Chujian]: Fu Ye, this is my new account, use this to contact me from now on. By the way, when are we going to sell that batch of Wild Rhinoceros Pig meat?
Her Wild Rhinoceros Pig Big Tooth, Pig Kidneys, and the two frozen Wild Rhinoceros Pig carcasses they had brought back were all stored with San Zong outside the city.
Li Fu was delighted when he saw the account type of the message sender.
She had bought a Quantum Optical Brain as soon as she got the money? In their team, only Xia Chujian didn't have a Quantum Optical Brain, so the four of them had been accommodating her by using outdated smart bracelets for communication.
Now things were much better.
Li Fu replied to her message instantly.
[Fu Ye]: You have a Quantum Optical Brain too? Congratulations! But about those Wild Rhinoceros Pigs, let's wait a bit longer. We can't leave the city for now. That Fan Chengcai is still hanging around...
Xia Chujian: "..."
It was her fault, she had gotten carried away and forgotten about that guy.
Xia Chujian had to suppress her restless little heart and start cleaning her room.
She fetched water from the outdoor tap and used a rag to wipe down the entire room.
Unfortunately, the room was too small. She only cleaned for ten minutes, and the room was spotless, without a speck of dust.
Xia Chujian sat on the edge of the bed, rubbing her arms. After cleaning, she boiled a kettle of water to take a bath.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Suddenly, several loud crashes came from upstairs.
Then, a shrill cry was heard, along with a man's cursing and swearing, a woman's sobbing, and a child's cries of "Mommy."
The sounds seemed to come from a very high place, and they sounded somewhat unreal to Xia Chujian's ears.
But those crashes earlier had been incredibly loud.
Xia Chujian came out with her water cup to watch the commotion.
As soon as she stepped out, she ran into her neighbor, Aunt Chen.
Aunt Chen looked worried and her condition seemed worse than when Xia Chujian had left.
"Aunt Chen, do you know what's going on?" Xia Chujian didn't know what was happening with Aunt Chen, so she had to steer the conversation to upstairs.
Aunt Chen smiled when she saw it was her. "Oh, it's Chujian! Where have you been these days? My daughter said you took a long vacation?"
Xia Chujian nodded. "I went out for a bit. I just got back. By the way, are they fighting upstairs?"
Because she heard a few more thumping sounds.
Aunt Chen quickly lowered her voice and said, "Chujian, I was just about to tell you... One of the two families on the top floor moved away a few days ago. The remaining family, the one who bought your house three years ago, is having a hard time now..."
"Ah? Really?" Xia Chujian was very puzzled. "Didn't both husband and wife have jobs? I heard the money they used to buy the house was subsidized by their parents, and they could spend their own salaries as they pleased. Plus, their child is still young. How could they be having a hard time?"
Aunt Chen scoffed and curled her lips, saying, "It was pretty good at first, but a few days ago, the man in the family suddenly lost his job, and his wife's job, I heard, pays very little and can't support the family. The man, on top of that, became addicted to gambling... These are all people coming to collect gambling debts. They come every day, crying and making a fuss. It's so annoying!"
Xia Chujian blinked. "...Owes gambling debts? It's really not easy to get rid of that..."
Aunt Chen shook her head. "Isn't that the truth! That's why women are afraid of marrying the wrong person!"
Xia Chujian smiled, not wanting to continue the topic, and planned to go home to boil water.
Just then, a young woman holding a child rushed out of the stairwell, frowning and looking back at the upper floors from time to time.
It was the female homeowner who bought her house three years ago.
Xia Chujian glanced at her without a word, and was about to leave when the young woman saw her.
"Oh? Aren't you the..." She stared at Xia Chujian, her eyes flickering. "That Xia family girl...?"
Xia Chujian was already 1.7 meters tall at fourteen years old three years ago. Now she is 1.75 meters tall and looks even taller. The difference in appearance is actually quite obvious.
But the birthmark on her forehead was even more obvious, so the young woman recognized her at a glance.
Xia Chujian nodded politely to her. "Hello, it's me."
The young woman looked her up and down again, and suddenly asked, "Where is your aunt? I remember when you sold the house three years ago, you said you weren't old enough, and your aunt couldn't come forward, and the hospital even issued a guarantee..."
Xia Chujian said calmly, "Still in the hospital."
"Still not well..." The young woman seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and looked at her with an increasingly amiable expression.
Xia Chujian didn't know how to respond and just wanted to turn around and leave.
The young woman didn't seem to want her to respond, and took another step forward, quickly sizing up the exotic beast fur coat Xia Chujian was wearing, and said mysteriously, "Then are you alone? Don't you have any other relatives or friends?"
Xia Chujian didn't want to pay attention to her and turned to leave.
"Little Miss Xia..." The young woman looked at her departing back and suddenly asked, "If I sell the house to you, would you be willing to buy it back?"
Xia Chujian turned back in astonishment, frowning and looking at the young woman without speaking.
The young woman nodded, as if she had made up her mind. "We are neighbors, and I won't take advantage of you. I can sell it to you cheaper than the market price. When you sold it to me, it was 30,000 Beichen Coins, and now I only want 35,000 Beichen Coins. As long as you have cash, we can go to the real estate department to transfer the ownership right away!"
This is the second update. Monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and Xiaoxiang tickets, please, please, please!
See you tomorrow!
