Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 164 Fortunately, I got it for free

"Except for the red book that you may value more, I think... everything can be given to you, right?"

Zhou Wang thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to measure the spiritual aspect, but if we talk about it from a material perspective, I think I will give her a rich life."

“Will having money make you happy?”

When mentioning this topic, Su Man laughed.

"It's not like I haven't seen rich people when I was young, but guess why, now I am willing to stay here, find an ordinary man, run a small inn, and live such an ordinary life?"

"Because...you ran out of money later?"

"..."

Su Man opened her mouth and then became angry, "Zhou Wang, I'm not talking to you about crosstalk."

"I'm sorry, auntie. Maybe I don't have enough experience and can't think of any other answer for now."

Looking at Zhou Wang's innocent expression, Su Man may have just remembered that he was indeed just a boy in his early twenties. What else could she do...

Of course I forgive him.

Su Man was about to continue speaking when, with the sound of "Dangdangdangdang" coming from her own voice, Su Yajing, who had appeared out of nowhere, trotted over with a plate of washed fruits.

"Aunt, brother, please eat the fruit quickly. I washed it very clean!"

"What are you doing here?"

Su Man frowned, "We haven't finished talking yet..."

"Oh, auntie, even if you don't want to eat, brother must be thirsty. He just drank some wine."

Before Su Man could finish her words, Su Yajing had already hugged her neck from behind and acted coquettishly.

"You're really thoughtful."

Su Man was a little helpless, but when Su Yajing stuffed a strawberry into her mouth, she still opened her mouth and ate it.

The strawberry was a little big, and it made her cheeks bulge. Su Man felt a little uncomfortable at first, but after moving her mouth a few times, she showed a surprised expression.

“It’s… quite delicious.”

After Su Man swallowed the strawberry, she picked up another strawberry from the plate with some surprise.

Apart from being round and plump, the color of this strawberry is not that good. It is a dark red with a purplish hue, which is very different from the traditional bright red.

"Where did you buy the strawberries? They are so sweet?"

Su Man asked in confusion, "Why didn't I know there were people selling such good fruit in the ancient city?"

"I didn't buy it. My brother brought it to me."

Su Yajing blinked at Zhou Wang at this time, then smiled at Su Man and said, "I just looked at the packaging box. It's imported strawberries from Sakura Country. The price is a bit expensive, 198 yuan per strawberry..."

When Su Man heard the price, who was about to stuff the strawberry into her mouth, her hand suddenly shook and the strawberry almost fell to the ground.

"How much do you say for each strawberry?" Su Man was shocked. "No...how can strawberries be sold by the number?"

"198, seriously, the box is still in the room... I see the whole box is 5940, and there are only 30 pills in it, so it's 198 per pill!"

Su Yajing said, and confirmed with Zhou Wang, "Brother, is this the price?"

"I think so. Someone bought it for me."

Zhou Wang smiled and nodded.

The box of strawberries that Su Yajing was talking about was not bought at Licheng Supermarket, but was already in his car.

When Jiang Qingkui helped Zhou Wang's parents buy fruit, he bought two boxes of this kind of strawberries, one of which was left for Zhou Wang to eat himself.

However, Zhou Wang came to Licheng on his way and put the box of strawberries into the gift bag.

It’s not just because women generally like to eat more fruit, but also because this box of strawberries is about to expire…

Although it is vacuum-packed, the shelf life is only about 7 days in total. Adding the time it takes to transport it to the country, it is almost expired today. It would be a real waste if it is not eaten.

Just now, because Zhou Wang had told Su Yajing about this in advance when they were having dinner, she opened the box of strawberries and washed them first.

Su Man opened her mouth slightly, obviously shocked by the price.

She didn't know how rich Zhou Wang was. After guessing that their relationship was not normal, she was even less interested in listening to Su Yajing's in-depth conversation about anything related to Zhou Wang. But strawberries for 198 yuan each...

It's too exaggerated.

Isn't this pure resentment?
If you buy ordinary strawberries at this price, one can buy ten kilograms, right?

"Aunt, expensive things always have a reason for being expensive. I just searched and found that this 'Black Beauty' strawberry is grown vertically. I don't quite understand..."

Looking at Su Yajing's excited look, her eyes seemed to be shining when she mentioned these things. Su Man didn't know what she was thinking about, and she finally became silent from wanting to say something.

"If you like it, eat more..."

As she said that, Su Man wanted to put down the strawberry in her hand.

At 198 yuan per piece, she would feel uneasy eating it... She always felt like she had taken some benefits from Zhou Wang for nothing, and it was a bit hot in her mouth.

"Oh, Auntie, I can't eat that much by myself. If you don't eat it, it will expire tomorrow."

"Hmm? Will it expire tomorrow?"

Su Man paused when she heard this and said subconsciously, "That can't be wasted..."

Well, it’s expensive, but... it’s really delicious!
Zhou Wang listened to the mysterious words of the two women, one big and one small, and he also picked up one and put it in his mouth to taste it.

Zhou Wang, who ate relatively little fruit, couldn't really say anything. His intuitive feeling was that it was almost not sour, very sweet, and very juicy...

Su Man ate another strawberry silently. She was too embarrassed to say anything at this moment. Perhaps she felt that Su Yajing's smile when she looked at her was a little mischievous, so Su Man couldn't help pinching her face.

"I know you're interrupting on purpose!"

Su Man said unhappily, "Alright, alright, I won't say anything for now. You can give this strawberry to your mother to try. She loves fruits so much, she will probably like it."

"Yeah, the nurse just told me that Mom is in good condition now. I originally wanted to ask my brother to go with me..."

Su Yajing responded immediately.

"Well, go ahead. I'll go back and settle the accounts... Zhou Wang, I hope you can think about what I just said. We can talk again before you leave Licheng."

After Su Man stood up, she paused, did not avoid Su Yajing, and said something seriously to Zhou Wang before turning around and leaving.

……

"Brother, I'm sorry..."

"Stop!"

As soon as Su Yajing opened her mouth, Zhou Wang interrupted her and said helplessly: "Let's make a promise, okay? Don't apologize to me again in the future... If you are always like this, I will feel bad too."

Hearing Zhou Wang's sincere tone, Su Yajing was stunned for a moment, with mist in her eyes. She leaned into Zhou Wang's arms and whispered, "Brother, do you dislike that my family is not so good..."

"What are you saying? Do I need to take this seriously when I talk about my girlfriend?"

Zhou Wang smiled, "Whether you are penniless or worth tens of millions, does it make any essential difference to me?"

"Roar too!"

When Su Yajing thought about this, she started laughing and then she pulled Zhou Wang up to the second floor with confidence and came to the door of a room in the corner.

This room did not have a house number like the other rooms in the inn. There was only an orange lantern hanging on the porch, indicating its specialness.

"This room has the best orientation and light in the inn, but my mother has been living here since the inn was renovated. Sometimes I sleep here, and sometimes when my mother is not feeling well, I sleep in my aunt's room..."

Standing at the door of the room, Su Yajing talked about her past with a smile on her face.

"I don't know how many times my aunt has complained that it's a waste for Mom to live in this room, but she has never really asked Mom to move out, even when there are still many empty rooms during the off-season..."

"My aunt said that my mother had a sum of money deposited with her, but one time I accidentally saw her account book, and then I realized that my aunt was lying to me..."

Su Yajing looked a little depressed at this time, "My father's property was confiscated. He didn't leave any money for me and my mother."

Zhou Wang was stunned when he heard this, but it also solved another doubt in his mind.

No wonder even though she grew up in such a special environment, Su Yajing's personality was not much distorted...

It turns out that to a large extent, it was Su Man who helped Su Yajing fill some of the missing maternal love over the long years.

Thinking about it this way, it’s not surprising that Su Man is resistant to me.

"Brother, I originally wanted to transfer the 200,000 yuan you gave me before I left Mingcheng to my aunt, but she definitely wouldn't accept it..."

"Let's talk about it later. If you want to repay your aunt, there are many ways. You don't necessarily have to transfer money."

Zhou Wang came back to his senses and squeezed Su Yajing's hand. "Let's go in and see your mother."

"Uh-huh!"

Su Yajing nodded and pushed the door open with Zhou Wang.

Under the warm light, there is a room that is not very large but is decorated very cozily.

There weren't many pieces of furniture, but there were soft cushions and various dolls everywhere, including the corners, which were all wrapped in cotton. Although the windows were sealed, they also left enough space for ventilation...

At this time, a thin woman in a thin nightgown was sitting quietly on the bed in the room, flipping through a magazine. Next to her was a fat aunt who was trimming her toenails.

She has delicate facial features and slightly pale skin. She doesn't look much like Su Yajing, but she is indeed a beautiful woman.

In terms of age, Su Yajing's mother should be close to forty, but if you only look at her appearance, she looks surprisingly young, and doesn't look much different from Su Man.

Maybe it was because she was ill all the year round and rarely went out, but she actually had a kind of innocent temperament, which was very similar to Su Yajing...

"Auntie, let me do it. You can go home now."

Su Yajing greeted the aunt, took the nail clippers from her, sat down by the bed, and replaced the nurse to help her mother cut her toenails. "We don't usually hire a nurse because it's too expensive, and my aunt can't afford it. It's just that these few days are the peak season, so..."

After the aunt left, Su Yajing and Zhou Wang explained in a low voice.

"Zhou Wang, this is my mother, Su Qiang."

Then, Su Yajing told Zhou Wang her mother's name.

However, during the entire process, from the moment the two entered the room, the woman sitting on the bed had no reaction at all. Instead, she kept flipping through the fashion magazine in her hand, indicating that she was immersed in reading.

At first glance, it seems quite normal... although Zhou Wang knows that this is already an abnormal behavior.

"Auntie, hello, my name is Zhou Wang, and I'm Su Yajing's boyfriend."

Regardless of whether Su Qiang could hear him or not, Zhou Wang still greeted her with a smile.

"Brother, wait a moment... Mom sometimes wakes up."

Su Yajing was a little nervous as she spoke, and it was obvious that she was not sure whether she could get a response from Su Qiang. But deep down in Su Yajing's heart, she obviously still hoped that Su Qiang could really get to know Zhou Wang.

"What kind of mental illness does your mother have? Has it been diagnosed?"

While waiting, Zhou Wang asked softly.

"It should have been depression in the early stage, but later she developed personality disorder and cognitive disorder. The doctor said her memory has also deteriorated a lot... Fortunately, my mother rarely has manic episodes, so my aunt can put her at home to take care of her."

While helping Su Qiang trim her nails, Su Yajing whispered, "Most of the time, she sits quietly like this, reading books or magazines..."

Zhou Wang took a quick glance and found that there were indeed many books and magazines on the cabinet on one side of the bedroom, as well as some old newspapers. Of course, the content was not profound.

Most of them were like the one Su Qiang was holding, in the fashion category, with a large number of illustrations...

However, Zhou Wang vaguely understood why Su Yajing had always had good taste. It seemed that it was because of the influence she had received.

At this moment, Su Qiang suddenly put down the magazine in her hand, looked at Su Yajing with bright eyes, and then a surprised smile bloomed on her face:
"Hey, Ranran, you're home!"

After saying that, Su Qiang hugged Su Yajing directly, and then held Su Yajing's hand and looked around, asking non-stop: "Are you adapting well in school? Are you getting along well with your classmates? Is Mingcheng pretty now..."

Zhou Wang listened to Mother Su's questions and felt quite normal, although it felt like she hadn't seen her daughter for a long time...

"My mom thought I just went to college..."

Su Yajing was quite used to it. While responding to Su Qiang, she whispered something to Zhou Wang.

At this time, Su Qiang finally noticed Zhou Wang.

After a moment of shock, she suddenly hid behind Su Yajing, and only poked her head out shyly, "Ran Ran, who is this handsome guy?"

"Mom, this is my boyfriend Zhou Wang!"

"Ah, what? You brought back a handsome guy, but he's not for mom..."

Su Qiang muttered to herself and stopped hiding. After carefully looking at Zhou Wang, she nodded with satisfaction and smiled, "Very good, as handsome as your father."

"Although I have never seen my father, I don't think he can be this handsome..."

"Nonsense, your mother's boyfriend must be more handsome than your boyfriend!"

"No way, my boyfriend must be more handsome!"

"Are you questioning your mother's judgment?"

Seeing the mother and daughter arguing like angry best friends, Zhou Wang smiled. So this is how Su Qiang and Su Yajing get along when she is sober...

Quite interesting.

Seeing that Su Qiang seemed a little angry, Zhou Wang interrupted in time: "Auntie, I believe your boyfriend is more handsome than me."

"Did you hear that, Ranran? Your boyfriend has admitted it!"

Su Qiang immediately smiled.

Of course, Su Yajing wasn't really arguing with Su Qiang. She pretended to be helpless when she heard that, "Okay, okay, dad is the most handsome!"

But when Su Yajing said this, she looked at Zhou Wang with a giggle, and her voice became sweeter.

All he could say was that she really understood the double meaning of the phrase, and Zhou Wang could only stiffen his chest slightly to show his respect.

"Ran Ran, you already have a boyfriend, so you should be more sensible in the future."

Su Qiang pinched Su Yajing's face and suddenly became serious again, "Remember what I taught you? We girls can be good at nothing, but we must master a skill..."

"Mom, I know, women who act like spoiled brats have the best life!"

Su Yajing giggled and hugged Su Qiang, "Brother is very good to me, don't worry!"

"Oh, yes. I have a Van Cleef & Arpels pendant hidden away. It's so beautiful. Since you're in a relationship, I'll give it to you generously!"

Su Qiang said this and got out of bed to look for it, but she looked confused because she couldn't find it.

"The few luxury items that my mother had left were sold by my aunt to raise money for her medical treatment...but my mother doesn't remember it."

Su Yajing did not stop Su Qiang, but just whispered beside her.

Zhou Wang nodded, feeling a little emotional.

In fact, if you think about it from another angle, Su Qiang's mental illness with amnesia may not be a self-protection mechanism of the brain. If she can be hit to the point of mental disorder, you can imagine what kind of pain she has experienced in the past...

……

They stayed in the room for about twenty minutes, waiting for Su Qiang to fall into self-isolated silence again. Zhou Wang helped Su Yajing feed Su Qiang the medicine. After Su Qiang fell asleep, the two walked out of the room.

Just as the evening breeze blew towards him and Su Yajing beside him was gazing at Zhou Wang with a relieved smile, Zhou Wang heard the system's prompt.

Ding!
[It is detected that the host has fulfilled Su Yajing's wish, and the random reward has been issued]

[Host obtains: Silas's real estate blind box]

[Silas's Property Blind Box: After opening, you will randomly steal 1 property in the city where you are located]

[Note: Because the property was stolen by Silas the Liberator with his eyes closed, the value of the property is uncontrollable]

……

Zhou Wang was naturally familiar with the real estate blind box, after all, he had gotten one in the second round.

After reading the introduction, Zhou Wang’s first reaction was that he had to save this real estate blind box for when he went to a first-tier city. After all, the larger the city, the more expensive the house.

But after seeing the system's "comments", Zhou Wang gave up the idea.

Assuming the value of real estate is completely random, you might as well open it now.

The reason is simple. At this moment, Zhou Wang still has the [Divine Luck Halo] on him. With the blessing of the halo, this real estate blind box might bring out a surprise.

In less than two days, the halo will lose its effect, and Zhou Wang won’t be able to go to the big city...

Besides, there will always be new rewards later, so there is no need to worry about it.

Thinking of this, Zhou Wang tightened his arms around Su Yajing's slender waist and directly chose "Open" with his mind.

[“Silas’s Real Estate Blind Box” is opening]

Ding!
[Successfully locked suitable property, interacting with reality...]

【Real interaction success】

[The host obtains the property rights of "No. 55, Jishan Lane, Xinyi Street, Licheng Ancient City"]

【Click to expand the detailed information of the property】

[Host please go to the corresponding location with your ID card to receive the property after 12 hours]

……

Zhou Wang was stunned for a moment after reading it. After all, if it was just a house number, he couldn't see what was special about this property.

Fortunately, the system had already uploaded the detailed information, so Zhou Wang clicked on it to take a look.

After a moment, Zhou Wang's eyes became surprised.

No. 55 Jishan Lane was formerly a very famous courtyard-style inn building in Licheng.

Because the landlord owed a huge debt and was unable to repay it, the house entered the judicial auction process during the execution process, but due to the high price, no one has taken it over yet.

The location of the Siheyuan is between the busiest waterwheel and Sifang Street in the ancient city. It is just a few steps away from the check-in spot where various young ladies gather. It is a core area of ​​peace and quiet in the midst of hustle and bustle.

The entire residence consists of three courtyards of different styles. The core courtyard has a history of more than 80 years. It is a typical courtyard-style building with three courtyards and one screen wall, and is also one of the key protected residences in the ancient city.

(The actual scene of the core courtyard at No. 55 Jishan Lane, Licheng Ancient Town)

Looking at the entire ancient city, these are definitely top-ranked quality buildings. In fact, before they were executed, they were all high-end homestays run by the landlord.

It is estimated that because of the judicial auction, this house can be owned by Zhou Wang, a foreigner, without restrictions.

Taking another look at the price, Zhou Wang understood why the auction had lasted for several days but no one had taken it over happily...

This courtyard house has a total construction area of ​​680 square meters, but the starting price at the auction is as high as 3960 million!
When converted, it is equivalent to an average price of nearly 61,000 yuan per square meter. Although its actual usable area exceeds 1,000 square meters with the second floor, it still cannot hide its exaggerated price.

After all, it’s not the hottest time of Licheng in the past few years…

This is just a corner of Yunnan Province, not Shanghai nor Beijing. Houses that cost 50,000 or 60,000 yuan per square meter are considered sky-high prices.

It must be said that [Divine Luck Aura] is still powerful. He went to a first-tier city and wanted to draw a house worth 4000 million, which was actually quite difficult...

After reading the general information, Zhou Wang was pleasantly surprised, but also shocked by the price.

He couldn't help smacking his lips: "Luckily I got it for free."

　There is a real-life illustration of the house in the chapter, but the review is very slow right now, and it will probably be updated in the middle of the night. If you haven't seen it, just imagine it yourself...
