My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 114 This is not a place to stay for long

"It’s a pity that we can’t sell it right now, or it would be convenient for everyone."

Nowadays, food is more valuable than houses, especially for wage-earning workers.

Farmers can still go to the fields to find some wild vegetables.

But in the city, even drinking water costs money.

If you want to buy food, you rely on the ration book supply, which is hardly enough to fill you up.

Thinking of buying more? Not possible.

The difficulty of selling houses is compounded by the scarcity of food.

When you can barely fill your stomach, who would be willing to spend food to buy a house?

Lin Tang pondered the price for a moment and felt it was okay, not too expensive.

Her eyes flickered as she said, "It’s true that we can’t buy or sell houses now, but we can transfer ownership!"

Policy prohibits selling, but transferring ownership is allowed.

Transfer ownership?

The elderly couple was stunned.

A moment later.

Old Master Jiang clapped his thigh and laughed heartily.

"Transfer of ownership is indeed possible. Young people’s minds are so nimble!"

Selling a house may be a dead end, but transferring ownership is within the rules.

It’s just a matter of writing a transfer document and having it notarized by the relevant authorities.

Miss Jiang was also pleased and asked Lin Tang, "Tangtang, do you really fancy our courtyard?"

Lin Tang nodded seriously. "Mm, I think it’s good. Hearing that you wanted to sell it, I got interested."

She had thought the old couple had no intention of selling, so she hadn’t even inquired about it before.

This house has its own separate entrance; buying it would be a bargain.

Miss Jiang and Old Master Jiang exchanged a look.

The old lady said, "It’s the same offer we discussed: one hundred eighty yuan and one hundred kilograms of grain, and we’ll use our connections to transfer the courtyard to you."

They had lived here for over ten years and had their connections, so transferring the ownership wasn’t a big issue.

But... isn’t the Lin Family from the village? Can they really afford so much money and grain?

Without some savings, who would even think about investing in property?

Lin Tang smiled. "Alright, I’ll go home and gather the money and grain in the next few days."

Of course, going home was out of the question.

Such a small amount of money and grain she could easily procure by taking a stroll through the black market.

Seeing that Lin Tang was sincere about the purchase eased Miss Jiang’s mind, and she felt as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

Upon further thought about how long it could take for her son to come and fetch them, her brow furrowed slightly.

"We’ve nearly finished packing up at home, we were supposed to have moved a few days ago.

But your Uncle Jiang had something come up last minute, delaying us for a few days.

What exactly is going on now, your Uncle Jiang hasn’t said; we can only wait for his call to discuss further.

Your grandfather and I will start handling the transfer in the next few days, you just slowly get ready."

The Uncle Jiang the old lady referred to was her son.

Because they hadn’t vacated another room on time, the old couple had even refunded half a yuan in rent.

Lin Tang had heard about this matter before and didn’t mind sharing the space with the old couple for a little while longer.

"Mm, I understand, I’ll leave it with you and grandpa Jiang then." Lin Tang said with a smile.

Of course, she wasn’t going to prepare slowly.

The elders had mentioned they would start the transfer process soon, and she wouldn’t want to be inconsiderate.

After finalizing things, Lin Tang returned to her room.

She calculated the money and items she had on hand.

She only had twenty-four yuan and eighty-two fen.

But she had a fair amount of various goods.

And not a few points too.

So, no big problem.

Over the past week, Lin Tang’s space had become even more abundant with goods.

[Name: Lin Tang]

[Age: 16]

[Points: 1688]

[System Space: Five jin of oil, sixty jin of white flour, fifty jin of rice, eighty jin of coarse grains.

Ten jin of pork, one chicken, two pig trotters, one fish.

A pair of watches.

Two packs of White Rabbit Creamy Candy, two cans of Malt Extract, one can of milk powder, one box of apples, one jin of oranges.

A bottle of Medicinal Wine.

Skills: Expert Driver, Pig Farming for Beginners, The Manufacturing Principles of Tractors.

A set of medical research laboratory equipment.

A sewing machine ticket.

Several recipes for making sauces: chili sauce, Bean Sauce, mushroom sauce, meat sauce...]

Looking at the items in the system space, Lin Tang immediately had an idea.

Without much thought, she took out the watches.

To buy the house, she’d need these two watches—cash on the spot.

These were shockproof and waterproof watches that didn’t require tickets, selling one for about one hundred thirty yuan each.

That evening, after barely filling her stomach, Lin Tang, with a masked face, went to the black market.

After all this time, the location of the black market had changed.

Furthermore, the time had shifted from noon to afternoon.

After the previous location of the black market was exposed, surveillance became more intense.

People were guarding in all directions.

The black market had moved to a relatively secluded large courtyard, with lights inside.

The illumination appeared dim and gloomy.

Once inside, Lin Tang quickly scanned the surroundings.

Everyone was still in disguise.

Cautious people even wrapped their faces tightly, revealing only their eyes.

Lin Tang made a round inside, noting the black market was filled with a wide variety of items.

Some brought homemade pickles.

Others brought some wilted fruit.

Those in better conditions brought canned goods which were relatively valuable...

As she looked around, Lin Tang also searched for potential customers for her watches.

Just then,

A middle-aged man approached from the side.

"What do you have?"

Lin Tang raised an eyebrow, "What are you looking for?"

She was confident that if she couldn’t provide what he wanted, nobody else could.

The man was taken aback by her bold tone.

He chuckled, "Radios, bicycles, watches... Do you have any of those?"

As soon as he mentioned the big three items.

Lin Tang’s eyes lit up when she heard the man’s query.

She’s stumbled upon a wealthy person.

"I have watches—interested?" Lin Tang replied, pulling out two boxes to give him a peek.

The man: "..." She actually had watches.

The man glanced at the basket hanging on Lin Tang’s arm, wondering if it contained radios as well.

"Anything else?" he inquired.

Lin Tang counter-questioned, "What else do you want?"

The man didn’t answer but instead asked, "I’ll take the watches. How much?"

"You want both?"

The man nodded, "Yes, both."

One for his son and one for his daughter, fair to both.

Lin Tang, realizing she had the money to buy the house, smiled.

With the enthusiasm of a salesperson from her former life.

"One for one hundred thirty, two for two hundred sixty, no tickets needed."

The middle-aged man had money and was quite knowledgeable; of course, he recognized the value of the watches the young girl was offering.

Moreover, no tickets were needed.

It was an opportunity not to be missed.

He had come to the black market mainly to try his luck for his children with bicycle tickets or watch tickets.

Encountering these two watches was like hitting the jackpot.

"I’ll take them," he said.

After declaring his intention, he counted out two hundred sixty yuan and handed it to Lin Tang.

After accepting the money, Lin Tang asked the man, "Got any grain?"

Having just completed the deal and with enough money in hand, Lin Tang wasn’t interested in further trade.

So she replied, "No."

Besides the cash and tickets needed in the real world, she didn’t lack anything else.

There was no point in continuing to trade; it wasn’t worth it.

The buyer seemed to anticipate this and wasn’t disappointed.

He nodded and prepared to leave.

One does not linger in the black market.

With these two watches, the visit had paid off.
