The real estate in the county town was small. The 17th floor was the top floor. There was only one suite on the 17th floor. It was the best great flat in this community at 300 square meters.
The hardcover was 300 square meters, and the vacancy cost was 2.4 million. It was too expensive. No one bought it for seven or eight years.
The elderly woman did not believe the Crawford family to buy this flat. Her son went up to look at it when he wanted to buy a house.
As her son planned to pay fully for an ordinary four-bedroom house, he had 700 thousand. So he went to look at that flat and wanted to buy it in installments.
As a result, he could not afford to pay in installments. The one-month mortgage was too high.
So the elderly woman wanted to see the Crawford family’s embarrassment.
The elderly woman arrived on the 17th floor and found the door was open. She poked her head in and looked inside.
She saw the house was luxurious, cleaned up, and turned on all the lights. It looked so beautiful.
The elderly woman had never seen such a beautiful house. When she and her son came to see it, the house was still full of dust without turning on the lights.
Are they going to buy it?
Several real estate agents came out while talking with Anthony. “Mr. Anthony, we’ll go now. If you have any questions, please contact us. Here is the business card of the owner of the best furniture shop. If you need anything, you can call him…”
The elderly woman felt uncomfortable. They bought it! Maybe they borrowed a loan to buy it. Could it be that they pretended to be rich? The rich won’t buy a great flat here!
Anthony took the business card and sent the real estate agent away, only to see an elderly woman holding a child at the door.
She did not cover up her jealous expression and revealed a trace of disdain.
Anthony glanced at her and asked, “What’s the matter?”
The elderly woman quickly put away her unhappiness and smiled. “Nothing. I live downstairs. No one lived upstairs before, and I heard the noises, so I came up to see what happened.”
Anthony nodded and was about to close the door. But the elderly woman added, “By the way, please keep your voice down. It was quiet before. When you all came, my grandson woke up crying.”
She patted the child in her arms while showing reproachfulness.
Generally, people wanted to have less trouble. They did not want to argue with their neighbors when they first arrived. Moreover, it was an elderly woman with a child.
So in most cases, they would say, “Sorry, we’ll pay attention to it.”
However, Anthony paused and answered coldly, “We didn’t make noises. You should find the reason why your grandson woke up crying.”
After speaking, he closed the door.
Anthony was not polite to her. He had seen many people, so he knew she was deliberately looking for trouble.
Furthermore, they were walking around lightly in the house just now. It was impossible that they made noise and caused the child to wake up crying.
Bettany asked, “Who is it?”
Anthony responded lightly, “Just a garbage collector.”
After the door closed, the elderly woman was full of anger.
Seeing that the Crawford family bought that flat, she felt jealous and uneven, as if her treasure was gone.
“They’re no manners at all!”
Those in suits are either running a business or selling houses. Do they think they’re great?
The elderly woman spat toward the door and walked away with muttering curses.
Just wait and see! I’ll complain to the property manager when they renovate their home!
She felt uncomfortable and wanted to make trouble for the Crawford family.
…
Lilly looked around the house.
A house that had been empty for eight years was easy to accommodate some unusual things, so some people had such a custom when they moved.
They would arrange two elders in the house, one with a knife and the other with a broom. They walked through all the rooms and said, “This house has an owner now! Get out!”
They spoke bluntly to show that no one could trifle with them. Holding a knife was to show that they were vicious to avoid losing their momentum when woeful ghosts were in the house.
Afterward, they sprinkled rice at home while shouting blessings.
Now the Crawford family naturally did not have to go through this process. One was that they bought this great flat casually as a temporary residence, and the home of the Crawford family was in Alfornada.
The other was that Lilly was here. No ghosts dared to stay here.
There was no furniture yet, so Blake leaned against the wall to watch Lilly muttering, “Everyone gets out. We’ll live here from now on. Goodbye.”
Soon, all the ghosts were gone.
Blake thought to himself. The end of science is metaphysics.
While putting down the daily necessities, Margaret babbled with Bettany, “Lilly can live here. This room is fine. Mrs. Crawford, will you live in this room? The master bedroom is for Blake, right?”
Blake interjected, “No, the master bedroom is for elders.”
Bettany nodded. “Okay. Then go to the owner of the home furnishing to find a designer to make a plan for the house. Can the move be completed in two days?”
Anthony said, “Two days is enough.”
He had money, so the time must be enough.
He was only here for two days and went back to Alfornada later. He had to take Lilly to visit Apex Mountain during this time.
Lilly was anxious and must go to Apex Mountain first.
The next day, after the Crawford family decided on the furniture plan for the house, they handed over all the furnishings to the design team. Anthony wanted to ship the furniture from Alfornada, but Bettany thought it was troublesome. It was okay to buy furniture in the county town.
As Anthony paid generously, the furniture shop owner could not wait to do the work himself.
“Oh, there’s one more thing.” Before leaving, Anthony reminded the designer director, “Put the noise reduction carpet in the whole house.”
The elderly woman downstairs came to make trouble on the first day, so he should make noise cancellations in advance to solve the noise problem.
He hoped Lilly could run safely at home without worrying about affecting the downstairs.
The designer director nodded. “Don’t worry. We’ll make everything perfect.”
After the Crawford family left, the design team started work immediately. The budget was sufficient, and they could hire a lot of labor. The house was large enough to be constructed at the same time. The Crawford family gave two days, and they had the confidence to complete everything!
Things began to move to the community.
The elderly woman downstairs had been waiting for a long time. When she saw the workers carrying things upstairs, she sneered.
She was on the 16th floor. She pressed the elevator, took a heavy chair, and stuck it.
The elevator stopped at her side. The workers would not be able to move things by using the elevator.
How dare they provoke me! Although they’re powerful, they can’t beat the local forces! I’ll wait for them to beg me!
