Wang Yunfa couldn’t react for a moment. He looked at Li Xia and blinked.
Li Xia panicked and couldn’t help but glare at him. “Why are you acting dumb? I’m asking you a question! Before we got married, didn’t you say that you have a courtyard in South City?”
Only then did Wang Yunfa react and nod gently. “There was a courtyard.”
However, before Li Xia could rejoice, Wang Yunfa’s next words were like a bucket of cold water that poured down on her.
Wang Yunfa said calmly, “But I have already sold it!”
In an instant, the joy that Li Xia was about to spew out froze between her eyebrows. She looked at Wang Yunfa as if lightning had struck her and felt countless one hundred yuan bills leaving her.
Sold?
“Why did you sell it?” Li Xia suddenly raised her voice, and her tone was heartbreaking.
How much money was that?! In the past, the courtyards in South City were only worth tens of thousands of yuan at most. But now that the demolition was going to take place, they could receive at least a few hundred thousand yuan. How much of a loss had they suffered?
Li Xia’s sharp voice frightened Wang Yunfa, but he had an inexplicable expression on his face.
What was wrong with his wife today? She was so shocked!
“Your family asked for one hundred thousand yuan and a new house as betrothal gifts. I didn’t have that much money, so I sold my courtyard. Brother also gave me his courtyard. I sold them together!”
As he spoke, Wang Yunfa became smug. “I sold those two lousy yards for two hundred thousand yuan. I made a lot of money. Otherwise, where do you think our Santana came from? I bought it with the remaining money!”
Hearing Wang Yunfa’s words, Li Xia completely forgot to react and stood rooted to the ground as if she had been petrified.
Not only was there a courtyard, but there was also another courtyard that Wang Yunzhong gave him.
He sold both courtyards!
Two hundred thousand yuan might have been a profit, but compared to the demolition incident, they had suffered a tremendous loss. The two courtyards would have been compensated for at least one million yuan!
One million yuan!
Li Xia felt that her heart had shattered. She had yet to dream of becoming rich overnight, but reality had already beaten her awake.
At this moment, Wang Yunfa finally reacted. He immediately looked at Li Xia and said, “That’s not right, Wife. You know about this too. I told you before we got married!”
As he spoke, he didn’t forget to remind Li Xia, “Did you forget my sister took two hundred thousand yuan to buy my lousy courtyard, and you insisted she was rich and wanted to interact more with her? How could you forget?”
Li Xia instantly realized.
When she heard about the demolition, she was so agitated that she forgot about it.
Wang Yunmei bought the courtyard, and she had spent two hundred thousand yuan on both. It puzzled her why this elder sister was too generous. Those two lousy courtyards were only worth one hundred thousand yuan at most, so she instinctively guessed that Wang Yunmei must be very rich. She even wanted to interact more with her to improve their relationship in the hopes that she could take care of their family in the future.
However, with the demolition matter in front of her, Li Xia could not help but have a conspiracy theory in her heart.
Perhaps she had thought too much before. Wang Yunmei had spent an additional one hundred thousand yuan to buy those two courtyards. Perhaps it was not because she was rich, but because she had long known that South City would be demolished and thus benefited from it?
When Wang Yunfa saw that Li Xia was silent and had a frown on her face, he couldn’t help but say worriedly, “What’s wrong, Wife? What happened?”
