Chapter 1362: Reality

“Compared to the ones from before, this seems more reliable. If we were to be made an A-grade tourist attraction, the nearby villages would really be rich. Our Songwu County will definitely benefit as well… It will be much easier to sell property in the future.”

Brother s.h.i.+ nodded and said, “That makes sense, but it’s a pity that I don’t have any money. Otherwise, I would really like to buy a house and hold it. Let’s not talk about investment, it’s good to have a place. Even if I don’t stay here in the future, I’ll be better than putting it in the bank. Unfortunately, I don’t have the money…”

Little Yu smiled and said, “Brother s.h.i.+, once property prices rise, would you be afraid that you won’t have the money to buy a piece of property. My relatives even asked me about property yesterday. Who doesn’t have children? Buying a piece of property is only a matter of time. In the past, I was not in a rush; I thought that it wouldn’t matter when I bought it. Now, it’s different. The price of property is going to rise, so who doesn’t want to buy one first? It puts people at ease.”

Brother s.h.i.+ nodded and said, “That’s true, but… a small place is ultimately poor. People talk about a rise in property prices, but it doesn’t actually rise. Those people are just asking. They are window shopping and wishy-washy. They’re not buying.”

Little Yu sighed as well. “That’s right…”

At that moment, a woman walked in. She wasn’t very pretty, but the moment she entered, she frowned.

Upon seeing this woman, Little Yu immediately stood up and smiled. “Little Can, why are you here? Sit, I’ll get you a gla.s.s of water.”

“There’s no need. I’m here to tell you about that matter.” Little Can shook her head. It was obvious that she had some unspoken pains.

Upon seeing this scene, Brother s.h.i.+ quickly stood up and said, “I scheduled an appointment with a client. You guys go ahead and chat.”

With that said, Brother s.h.i.+ left.

At that moment, only Little Yu and Little Can were left in the room. Neither of them said a word, and the atmosphere in the room seemed particularly awkward.

Both of their attention was on each other. No one saw that there were two bald heads at the door…

Red Boy looked at Fangzheng and wanted to say something.

Fangzheng raised his hand and gestured for him to shut up.

This time, Fangzheng wore the mask. His face was very ordinary, making him look like an ordinary young monk. As for Red Boy, he was good at transforming himself. Back then, even Sun Wukong and Pigsy were fooled, much less ordinary people.

The two stood there without moving. Fangzheng casually conjured A Golden Millet Dream and the two instantly lost their presence.

“Little Can, you know that when we decided on a matrimonial apartment, the other party went back on his word and refused to sell it. There’s nothing I can do about it. It’s rumored outside that the price of property is going to increase. Now that everyone refuses to sell, I really have no choice.” Little Yu finally broke the silence.

Little Can said, “I know. My parents know about it too, so they asked me to come to talk to you. If we can buy a place, we can be together. If we can’t, there’s no way for us to get married.”

Little Yu’s eyes reddened when he heard that. “Is a place that important?”

Little Can shook her head and said, “I don’t care if there’s a place to stay or not. What I care about is our future. If you don’t have a place, I can follow you, but… you won’t get past my parents.”

When Little Yu heard that, he immediately fell silent…

Little Can said, “I still stand by my point. You should resign. Follow me to the south. The salary there is higher. Let’s work hard together. There’s still a chance.”

Little Yu sat down dejectedly and covered his face with both hands. “I… You know about my mother’s health… I can’t leave.”

Little Can said, “Little Yu, there’s nothing I can do as well. I really can’t do anything about it. The pressure of life and the pressure of my parents are all on me. I can’t take it anymore… Either we leave far away, or…”

When Little Yu heard this, he immediately turned anxious. He shouted, “I admit that I can’t afford a house now, but Little Can, believe me. Property prices are really going to increase. Once it rises, my commissions will increase as well. Furthermore, everyone will crazily purchase property. I will definitely make a lot of money and buy us a home.”

Little Can said bitterly, “Little Yu, you said that to me since last year. Do you think that my parents will believe you even if I do? Or do you really intend to let me go to the south alone? We will be separated and have to have a long-distance relations.h.i.+p?”

Little Yu said, “This time, it’s real. You can go online and search. On Mt. One Finger…”

When Little Can heard this, she blew up. She shouted, “Enough! Stop making up stories, alright? Those are just rumors. I want the truth, something reliable… It has to be something I can see and touch! I don’t want to wait any longer! I’m really tired…”

At this point, Little Can’s tears flowed down uncontrollably.

Upon hearing this, Little Yu’s eyes turned red as well. He ruffled his hair and pulled at it. “I’m sorry, Little Can… I’m useless. But, I really can’t leave. My mother is paralyzed. If I leave, who will take care of her? I was fatherless since I was young. It wasn’t easy for my mother to raise me. Now that I’ve finally grown up and can take care of her, I can’t just leave like that. If I leave, am I still human?”

Little Can said weakly, “Then are you still human for abandoning me?”

Little Yu’s face was filled with despair as he said, “I… I’m not human, it’s because I’m not blessed…”

Having said this, Little Yu said indignantly, “Little Can, can you trust me one last time? Property prices are really going to increase… I will sell many pieces of property; I will…”

Little Can sighed in disappointment. “I’m sorry, I can’t continue this dream with you. I’ll go to the south. I’ll work hard. If I earn enough money and I’m still unmarried and you are still single, I’ll marry you, okay? Let’s buy a house and get married…”

Upon hearing this, Little Yu couldn’t stop his tears from flowing down his cheeks. He opened his mouth a few times, wanting to say something, but eventually held it in and did not say anything.

The two fell silent again.

At that moment, Fangzheng patted Red Boy on the head, indicating that it was time for them to appear.

Fangzheng knocked on the door and said, “Patrons, I’m sorry for disturbing you. Do you have property to sell?”

Upon hearing this, Little Can wiped her tears and said, “Focus on your job. My train is this afternoon…”

When Little Yu saw this, he panicked and said to Fangzheng, “I’m sorry, we have property to sell. You can look for my colleague. I have more important things to do.”

Little Can was clearly taken aback when she heard that, but she still walked out.

Fangzheng said lightly, “Patron, This Penniless Monk wants to buy many pieces of property. You can earn a lot of money.”

Little Yu waved his hand and said, “I don’t care. Find someone else.”

As he spoke, Little Yu was about to chase Little Can.

Fangzheng stopped Little Yu and smiled. “This Penniless Monk wishes to buy all of your property.”

However, Little Yu refused to listen and shouted, “I don’t care how much money it is. I only want my girlfriend!”
