Chapter 235 Just Consider the Unfilial Son Dead 2
She called her son to ask what was going on, but what he said on the phone was like a bolt from the blue.
"Mom, when I was a junior in college, the son of that mistress died in a car accident. Now I'm Dad's only son, and he wants me to stay and live in Country X. I think life here is pretty good."
The demolition compensation money has arrived. Didn't you say it would all be left to me? I gave you my bank account number back then.
Hearing her son's words, the original owner was completely stunned. What did he mean by "your dad wants you to stay and live here"? What did he mean by "you only left your bank card"? She wasn't stupid. She could only murmur into the microphone, "What about me?"
But the words coming from the other end of the phone made her feel instantly heartbroken: "Don't you have a pension? Isn't that enough for you?" She didn't know how she hung up the phone, nor how she got home.
These days she has been thinking about which part of her teaching her son went wrong, but she still can't figure it out. She knows that her son will not come back in the future, but in recent years her life has revolved around her work and her son, especially after retirement. She looks forward to the day her son returns to China every day.
Now, faced with this outcome, she is completely unable to accept it. She cannot accept her son's actions, and her strong-willed nature prevents her from going abroad to find him; she disdains it.
But she couldn't let go of her longing for her son, the child she had raised with great care. Now she realized she hadn't raised him well, and the original owner of this body, having lost all hope, had been in a daze for the past few days until the system contacted her.
She didn't want to live anymore, and her only request was that she no longer contact her son. She wanted to preserve her last bit of dignity. "If you don't want me first, then I won't want you either." This was a woman of strong character.
Liu Yuxi sat up in bed. Her body had recovered to its best condition thanks to her "strong as an ox" attribute. She was just very hungry, since the original owner hadn't eaten much these past few days and had been in a daze.
She took out a bowl of congee with preserved egg and lean pork from her space and ate it. Then she went to the bathroom, locked the door, and entered the space. She first drank a cup of the Fountain of Youth water, trying to restore her appearance to that of someone in their forties. At least she couldn't have age spots; that was Liu Yuxi's bottom line. Thinking about the state of her "White Snake" sister in her other world when she was over 70, well, after she sold the house and moved away from here, she could drink some more.
After taking a shower and changing into clothes in the same style as the original owner, Liu Yuxi left the space. It wasn't autumn yet, and the ceiling fan in the living room was still on. Liu Yuxi looked around the house.
The apartment is on the second floor of a six-story building with stairs. Because it is an east-facing unit, there is a window on the east wall of the living room, so the room is well-lit. Both bedrooms face south, the balcony is in the second bedroom, and the kitchen and bathroom are on the north side of the living room. Because it was built a long time ago, the bathroom still has a squat toilet.
The house is 60 square meters in total, with virtually no shared area. Liu Yuxi plans to sell it. Since she won't be in contact with her adopted son anymore, she doesn't want to live here anymore. She wants to avoid any drastic changes in her life that might make it difficult to deal with the people around her.
This house is in a good school district. The school where she taught was a top-tier primary school, and the middle and high schools attached to this house are also top-tier schools. Their city is a first-tier city, so even though it's only 08, this house can still sell for around 40 yuan.
She went out and found a real estate agency near the neighborhood, showing their manager the apartment. She didn't have time to wait around and slowly sell it, since real estate agents can pocket the difference in price these days. She was prepared to offer a discount so the agency could find her a buyer as soon as possible.
She told the agent that she only wanted 36 yuan, but it had to be paid in full. She believed she would hear back in the next few days, since school district properties in this area were selling very well.
After seeing the real estate agent off, she began to organize her belongings. The original owner had over 20,000 yuan in savings, and her monthly pension was 2680 yuan, which would gradually increase in the future. She only had a gold necklace and a gold ring as jewelry. She packed up the old clothes and put them into her space, and planned to leave the furniture and appliances for the next homeowner.
She and her adopted son had a lot of old books at home. Liu Yuxi put the ones she was interested in into her online space, and sold the rest, along with some other things that could be sold, to a junk collector. After cleaning the house again, it looked like the house was a little bigger.
The real estate agent did not disappoint Liu Yuxi. The next day, he brought a couple in their thirties to see the house. Knowing that Liu Yuxi's son was studying for a master's degree abroad, the couple was even more satisfied with the house. Liu Yuxi did not ask the agent how much the house was sold to the couple for. He simply arranged with the couple through the agent to transfer the money and complete the transfer the next day.
The next day, the couple transferred the house payment to Liu Yuxi. The extra money should be considered a deposit, which they had given to the agent the day before. Anyway, they transferred 36 yuan to Liu Yuxi at the bank. At that time, there was no fund supervision. The safety factor of paying in full was relatively high, since the buyer, seller and agent were together the whole time. There are many more problems with buying a house with a loan.
Then the group went to the housing management bureau together to complete the property transfer, including the water and electricity connections. Since the complex wasn't built with gas yet, only the water and electricity connections needed to be transferred; the homeowners could contact the gas company later if they wanted gas connected. Liu Yuxi handed the house keys to the couple and left. She had already packed her belongings yesterday when she received a notification from the real estate agent.
She found a public restroom in a shopping mall, changed her clothes there (she didn't want to look like an old lady, even though she was already an old lady), and dragged her pre-prepared suitcase to a gold shop where she bought a large yellow croaker.
She was planning to move to a new place and buy a house. It was really inconvenient for the elderly to rent a house outside, and she was worried that she wouldn't have enough money. So she sold a large yellow croaker here to raise some money. According to the current gold recycling price, she sold the large yellow croaker for a little over 6 yuan. After withdrawing the money with the boss, she found a hotel near the airport to stay in.
After checking the flight schedule, she still chose to buy a ticket to Beijing for tomorrow. How to put it? Having worn this outfit so many times, she's gotten a bit used to Beijing. As for whether she'll go to other places later, she'll decide after she gets to Beijing.
The next day, I arrived in Beijing and found a hotel near the Third Ring Road. I asked a real estate agent about the current housing prices. Well, even though there was a financial crisis here, the average price of housing within the Fourth Ring Road in Beijing was still around 13,000 yuan per square meter, and the price per square meter near the Olympic Village was over 20,000 yuan.
She didn't have enough money. Even with the money from selling the yellow croaker, she only had a little over 44 yuan, which wasn't even enough to buy a one-bedroom apartment! Buying a house in Beijing isn't as strict as it was after 2010, so she was eligible to buy one, but the money was the problem.
Fortunately, the investigation into the source of money for ordinary people is not so strict now. She sold ten large yellow croakers at different gold shops in Beijing in the following two days. Even if someone came to investigate, it would be fine. It's normal for an elderly person from that era to have some savings.
