Stunning Dragon Wife-Chapter 732 - 731 Wu Lingling
Chapter 732: Chapter 731 Wu Lingling
Zhang Xiaoshan rose to his feet, put on his clothes, and stepped out into the yard, opening the front gate.
Outside stood a young girl with curly hair, wearing black boots and tight jeans, her figure plump.
She was a few years younger than Zhang Xiaoshan, but she dressed maturely and was quite attractive, with a small white cloth tied around her arm.
Wu Lingling.
The only daughter of Wu Laohu.
"Lingling, what brings you here?"
Zhang Xiaoshan asked, puzzled.
Wu Lingling had hurried back from the city’s health school because of her father’s death.
Counting the time, it had been a few years since they last met. Now, Wu Lingling had grown quite radiant, even more beautiful than before, especially since she had been studying in the city and knew how to dress herself, she indeed had her fair share of beauty.
However, Zhang Xiaoshan didn’t have much of a relationship with Wu Lingling, and their interactions were limited. freewёbnoνel.com
In his memory, Wu Lingling had been rather spoiled due to her father, Wu Damming, being the village chief and the absence of her biological mother’s discipline.
Now that Wu Damming was dead, and she no longer had anyone to rely on, Wu Lingling’s overall spirit seemed to have diminished greatly.
"May I come in and talk?"
Wu Lingling asked, her eyes lacking luster.
"Sure, come on in."
Although uncertain of Wu Lingling’s purpose, he still led her into the main room.
They sat down across from each other at a dining table.
"I’ll go pour you a glass of water."
"No need. I have something to say and will leave once I’ve said it."
Wu Lingling’s tone was calm.
Zhang Xiaoshan was secretly astonished.
It seemed that living by herself over the years had fostered Wu Lingling’s independence, and she had now become decisive.
"Alright, Lingling, go ahead. I’ll certainly help if I can."
Zhang Xiaoshan didn’t feel guilty about Wu Damming’s death, but he did feel somewhat uneasy, especially since now Jia Lanhua was with him, making Wu Lingling effectively Jia Lanhua’s stepdaughter. It was only right that he would look after her if he could.
"I heard you’re planning to start an agritourism venture in the village?"
Wu Lingling asked with a somber look toward Zhang Xiaoshan.
Zhang Xiaoshan was a bit confused, unsure why Wu Lingling, who hadn’t even graduated yet, was asking him these questions.
But he nodded anyway.
"Yes, that’s the plan."
"Have you found a location yet?"
"Not yet, I was planning to..."
Before Zhang Xiaoshan could finish his sentence, Wu Lingling cut him off.
"Then that settles it. Don’t bother looking elsewhere, just use my family’s place."
"Your family’s?"
Zhang Xiaoshan was taken aback.
"Where will you live then?"
Wu Lingling replied.
"You don’t need to worry about that. Our house is in the best location in the whole village, backed by the mountain and facing the water, it sits from north to south, and the terrain is just perfect. From the second floor, you can overlook the entire White Dragon Village. So tell me, do you want it or not?"
As the village chief, Wu Damming’s family home was naturally well-situated.
Moreover, the western-style house was very modern and could be put to use with just a little renovation.
Perfect.
But the key issue was that it would seem rather peculiar for him to buy the Wu family’s property right after Wu Damming had passed away.
It was one thing to take in someone’s wife; taking over their house was another matter entirely.
This was...
"What, you don’t want it? If not, forget it. I’ll just go back and burn it down."
Wu Lingling stood up and headed for the door.
This young lady didn’t inherit her looks from Wu Damming, but her temper was spot on, even more explosive than her father’s.
"Wait, hold on."
Zhang Xiaoshan quickly grabbed hold of Wu Lingling.
"It’s not that I don’t want it, it’s just... it doesn’t seem right to take it."
"What’s wrong with taking it?"
"The divorce agreement between my dad and my stepmom was clear—they wanted to sell the house and land, and then divide the money equally between her and me. I’m just following my dad’s wishes, no one is going to say anything about it."
"Besides, I need to live, don’t I? I haven’t even graduated yet. What am I supposed to eat and drink?"
Wu Lingling was quite straightforward.
But Zhang Xiaoshan was still hesitant.
"What about the Wu family’s clan members? Will they agree to it?"
"Why wouldn’t they agree? If they don’t, then they can pay for my tuition and living expenses in the future."
Wu Lingling was quite fiery.
For a moment, Zhang Xiaoshan didn’t know how to respond.
"But..."
"Enough with the fussing. Right now, you’re the only one in the whole village who can afford my family’s house and land."
"If you feel bad about it, just pay a bit more money, alright?"
The young lady was quite something.
Zhang Xiaoshan thought it over.
Wu Lingling’s points were indeed valid.
A win-win situation.
"Okay then, I agree, but we need to have the Wu family’s clan members present, write up the contract in public. If they don’t agree, I can’t buy it. Otherwise, I’ll be the talk of the village."
"Fine, come to my house after nine o’clock then,"
Wu Lingling left as soon as she dropped that sentence.
