Reborn in the 1990s, I want my husband to live to be a hundred.

Chapter 224 Should This Village Be Demolished or Not?

Qin Wenxin called her classmate Yao Lan to get the address, and then the family of five took a taxi to Yao Lan's house. The taxi driver dropped them off at the intersection, and from there they could only walk.

I left the driver's phone number, telling him to call me if I needed a ride back later. The driver agreed and left.

"Are you really going to buy here?" Looking at the sparsely populated path with weeds growing all around, Deng Xiuzhen had some doubts.

Wenxin didn't respond immediately. She also felt that Nanshan was like a mountainous area, and a poor and backward one at that.

"Well, since we're here, let's go in and take a look," Deng Xiuzhen said, leading the way forward.

After asking around, they finally found Nanshan Village, where Yao Lan's family lived.

Yao Lan's father said that there are dozens of households in the village, but they live scattered. His village has seven households, and compared to other villages, it is the closest to the city, only about 60 kilometers away.

It's only about 60 kilometers away! And it's the closest one!

“Wenxin, let’s not buy here. It’s too remote. You’ll be looking for a job in the city after you graduate. You won’t be able to live in this house. What’s the point of buying it?” Wenjing, who was in a hurry, looked up at the dilapidated mud-brick houses and quickly pulled Wenxin back, trying to persuade her to go back.

"Are you here to buy a house too?" a man next to Yao Lan's father asked.

"They're here to buy houses too? Is there anyone else coming to buy houses?" Wenxin immediately grasped the key point.

“Yes, quite a few people have come here. The first few who came were to buy houses. Yesterday, a group of people came and immediately surrounded the house, measuring and taking measurements. I don’t know what they wanted to do,” Yao Lan’s father said.

Upon hearing this, Deng Xiuzhen thought, "Isn't this the start of a demolition project? If I buy a dilapidated house and wait for it to be demolished..."

Thinking of this, she suddenly looked up at Wenxin: Could it be that Wenxin has also been reborn? Did she spend many years in Shenzhen and know that this place was about to be demolished, so she insisted on buying a house here?

"Has anyone bought it yet?" Qin Wenxin didn't notice Deng Xiuzhen's gaze. Her attention was entirely on the house.

“They bought it. There are eight households here, and two of them bought houses in the city to do business, so they sold their houses. I really don’t understand why you came here to buy houses. The city is clean and convenient, isn’t it better to live here?” Yao Lan’s mother interjected.

"Are there any houses left for sale?" Deng Xiuzhen asked.

“Yes, my older brother’s house is up for sale. Look, over there, it’s the best and most spacious house in the village. Come on, I’ll take you to see it,” a dark-skinned man said enthusiastically.

"Okay, then please take us to see it." Qin Wenxin was excited when she heard that someone had bought a house: she remembered that there was such a thing as demolition and relocation, and many people had made a fortune from it.

She has successfully bought this dilapidated house, and she will soon be a nouveau riche!

At that point, she'll have to start thinking about her parents' little bit of money!

Wenxin was so excited that she moved her hands and feet in unison and immediately followed the man forward.

"You really want to buy it?" Yao Lan's father asked in surprise.

"Considering that you and my Yao Lan are classmates, I advise you to reconsider," Yao Lan's mother whispered to Deng Xiuzhen.

“It’s nothing. We just want to settle down in the countryside, buy some land, and make do with what we have.” Deng Xiuzhen pointed to Qin Yanlin.

Yao Lan's mother glanced at Qin Yanlin, then looked at Deng Xiuzhen with pity, and said nothing more.

The man is neither obedient nor foolish, and he has three children in school. He can't afford to live in the city, so he farms some land in the countryside, at least he can have food to eat.

As Yao Lan's mother pondered, she began to plan how to help Deng Xiuzhen rent some land...

In this remote mountain village, houses are incredibly cheap. This five-room house is priced at only 30,000 yuan, including village residency. Once she's registered, she'll be considered a resident of the village, and the house and land will belong entirely to her.

After some haggling, the deal was finally struck at 27,000, plus a mountain forest behind the house.

Wenxin was eager to buy, while the other party was eager to sell.

The man called his older brother, who immediately came over and helped him complete all the formalities.

Wenxin laughed so hard her eyes narrowed into slits.

"Fool, buying a house in this remote mountain village will only lead to your misery!" Qin Wenjing pouted, completely baffled as to why Wenxin was doing this.

Thinking to myself, I should take Wenxin to see a doctor tomorrow, so that Wenxin won't be upset because her parents favor her and Wenyu...

"Mom, please talk to my sister and tell her we shouldn't buy here. It's too remote. We'll have to take a taxi and climb a mountain to get home," Wen Yu advised.

"Let's not talk about it now. The procedures have all been completed, so what's the point of saying anything?" Deng Xiuzhen said indifferently.

She felt uneasy. Was buying this house even useful? In her previous life, she had never seen a residential building in Shenzhen built on a mountain.

In my memory, the houses in Shenzhen were all on flat ground.

But considering that she didn't know much about Shenzhen and that the 20,000 yuan was nothing to her now, she went along with Wenxin's wishes.

"Mom, how about we buy Wenxin a small apartment in the city? Otherwise, where will she live?" Wenjing looked at Deng Xiuzhen expectantly.

Wenxin looked over when she heard this, her eyes filled with expectation.

"She chose this herself, what does it have to do with me? Didn't I tell you that it's a suite for one person, Wenxin's is smaller, but she chose the location and building herself. She chose this herself, what does it have to do with me?" Deng Xiuzhen looked at Qin Wenxin, her expression a little unpleasant.

Wenxin, being perceptive, noticed Deng Xiuzhen's displeasure. She assumed Deng Xiuzhen was angry at her for her reckless decision to buy a house in this remote corner of the countryside. She thought Deng Xiuzhen was doing it on purpose, acting out of spite.

Deng Xiuzhen was genuinely angry. She was furious that Wenxin was so selfish: she insisted on buying a house in this village, she must know something, but she didn't say anything or even think about helping them!

Wenxin is heartless, so she's too lazy to care about her. She won't share the money she has; she'll take it all with her and keep it for her retirement.

But will this village be demolished or not?
