Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

Gu Tongwan remained calm on the surface, and only said in a calm voice: "It's okay, it's better than living on the streets. After all, renting a house in Jiangcheng is not cheap now."

This family should have known best at the time that if a sixteen-year-old girl was abandoned and did not find a guardian, and she was over the minimum age of fourteen to stay in an orphanage, it meant that she would have to find a way to support herself.

In fact, after winning the lawsuit, the court also ruled that Zhao Yongming's family must pay Gu Tongwan 800 yuan in living expenses every month. Unfortunately, Gu Tongwan has not seen a penny in all these years.

If Gu Tongwan had not been able to endure hardships and work hard, and had excellent grades in college enough to live on scholarships, she would have starved to death on the streets long ago.

Zhao Yongming immediately responded, "It's hard for you, Wanwan. Why don't you move back home for the next two days? Your mother and I want to make it up to you."

Liu Yuan looked worried, but still nodded, "Yes, Wanwan, you haven't eaten the boiled beef and egg custard made by your mother for a long time, right?"

Gu Tongwan almost laughed out loud. The boiled beef that Liu Yuan mentioned was probably her favorite. Every time, she was not allowed to choose the beef and was just allowed to watch her eat it, and she even said that spicy food was bad for the body.

But since they are willing to act, Gu Tongwan is also happy to act with them.

"I've been busy with my business lately, so I won't be back."

Liu Yuan was immediately relieved. She was really worried that Gu Tong would rely on the Zhao family in the evening. But she said regretfully, "Really? I wanted to take care of you for two more days. In that case, stay for dinner tonight."

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost set, Zhao Yongming continued to focus the topic on the house near the paper mill.

"That house is too remote. There's a stinky ditch 300 meters away. There are a lot of mosquitoes and flies in the summer. The most important thing is that the people living there are too messy. It's not safe for a girl like you. Your mom and I are thinking about renting a new house for you. You can move out and the house will be transferred to my name again. In a few years, I will give you a down payment to buy a small apartment near the city center, a high-rise, fully decorated one. As for the subsequent decoration, you don't have to worry about it. Dad knows a lot of acquaintances and can take care of everything."

Zhao Zhenzhen was eating melon seeds nearby while listening to her parents trying to please Gu Tongwan, her eyes full of disdain.

In fact, she hated Gu Tongwan not only because of the suffering she had gone through after being abducted, but also because Gu Tongwan looked more like the daughter of a wealthy family who was raised in a warm family than she did.

No matter how she dressed up over the years, she could not help comparing herself with Gu Tongwan. The mad interweaving of inferiority and jealousy gradually turned into disgust towards Gu Tongwan. Therefore, after she was found that year, she slandered Gu Tongwan for beating her in private, and then said that Gu Tongwan tore her skirt. She tried all kinds of ways to discredit Gu Tongwan's character.

Zhao Yongming and Liu Yuan, who were already gradually losing patience with Gu Tongwan, became more disgusted with their adopted daughter because of Zhao Zhenzhen's complaint, so they decided to abandon her.

Gu Tongwan bit her lip in embarrassment and said, "There's no need to rent a house. I'm just working on a project recently and need some capital investment in the early stages, so I was planning to sell the house..."

As soon as the words fell, Liu Yuan became anxious and asked quickly: "Which house do you want to sell?"

"Well, I've asked the real estate agent. If you're not in a hurry, you can get 12,000 yuan per square meter. But if you want to sell the house within a month, the price might be cut."

Liu Yuan glanced at her husband fiercely, her eyes full of impatience.

Zhao Yongming's hand holding the teacup clenched slightly. He didn't expect Gu Tongwan to sell the house. You know, after the house was demolished, the developer planned to sell it at a price of 70,000 per square meter.

In fact, people who work in the real estate industry know much more about the control and information about land than ordinary people.

Some time ago, an acquaintance from the municipal government told him that the old neighborhood near the paper mill had been designated as a key development area by the government. As part of the old city renovation, the first batch of high-end residential communities would be built there on an experimental basis.

He went out of his way to find out through several connections, and sure enough, he got the news from the boss of a large real estate company that the land was the project they wanted to develop, and as long as there were houses there, they would be demolished, and the demolition fee for one house would be at least over one million.

About one million yuan. If it were in previous years, he and Liu Yuan would have earned enough in a year and a half if they worked hard.

However, Zhao Yongming's construction company's business has been extremely bleak in recent years, and as the vice president, he has received much less bonus.

Liu Yuan's situation is similar to his. Although it is a state-owned enterprise, her salary has not increased, and her benefits have gradually decreased.

In addition, the current house was purchased with a 20-year loan, and there is a mortgage of 50,000 to 60,000 yuan to be repaid every month. His daughter spent a lot of money when she was in college, and after graduation he arranged for her to work in his company, but the monthly salary she could pay was only 3,000 to 4,000 yuan. Therefore, he and Liu Yuan had to give their daughter extra pocket money.

Money is money everywhere. When Zhao Yongming heard the news that the paper mill was to be demolished, he beat his chest and stamped his feet in regret. He really should not have given the house to Gu Tongwan.

After all, the demolition fee for that house is about one million yuan, which is enough for Zhao Yongming to ease the pressure of his mortgage.

Originally, he planned to play the emotional card, and then pretend to buy a small apartment in the city center for Gu Tongwan in two years. Given Gu Tongwan's gentle and timid personality, it would be impossible for her to disagree.

But now that Gu Tongwan said he wanted to sell the house, Zhao Yongming became anxious.

My goodness, how could he let Gu Tongwan give his one million to others? That is his, Zhao Yongming’s house, and no one can take it away!
