Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation

Chapter 578: Chapter 370 Summer Night_2

Xue Yuantong and his mother had talked for a while before he ran over to Jiang Ning’s house to play with him.

Aunt Gu watched her daughter’s retreating figure; her face, once weathered by time, now seemed younger, revealing a gentle smile.

Aunt Gu sat at the doorway for a while, then got up and headed east. After a few steps, she arrived at a bungalow, where the lights inside were on.

Aunt Gu called out, “Aunt Pan.”

Soon, a chubby middle-aged woman came out of the house, looking older than Aunt Gu, and she was accompanied by a boy around four or five years old.

Aunt Pan moved a stool for her, and then they started chatting at the door.

After exchanging a few words, Aunt Gu explained her purpose, “Aunt Pan, I heard from Uncle Tang that your family is planning to sell the house?”

“Yes,” Aunt Pan replied, “my eldest daughter has gone off to university, and my family has opened a shop outside. We barely see each other all year round. It’s not feasible. I’m thinking of selling this house and taking the child to live somewhere else.”

Aunt Gu listened quietly until she had finished, then asked, “Have you found a buyer for the house yet?”

Being neighbors, Aunt Pan answered honestly, “It’s hard to sell, being so far from the city.”

“How much are you planning to sell it for?” Aunt Gu asked.

At this point, Aunt Pan realized something and looked at Aunt Gu, “Xiao Gu, is your family also planning to sell your house?”

Without hiding anything, Aunt Gu got straight to the point, “Here’s the thing, someone in our village is planning to settle down in Yuzhou. I heard you were selling your house and thought maybe they could buy it.”

“Why buy my house? Doesn’t your family have an empty house available? You’re currently renting it out, right? Just sell it directly to the person from your village; that would be even more convenient!” Aunt Pan suggested, considering it a hassle-free option.

Aunt Gu smiled, “It’s for Jiang Ning to live in.”

Aunt Pan thought about it and agreed, “That makes sense. Yours and Jiang Ning make quite a pair.”
