Then I called the real estate agent.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   They were happy to hear from me.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   They said many people had seen the house.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Someone was willing to pay the full amount immediately.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   This was the best.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I made an appointment with the agent. The agent hung up and contacted the buyer who was willing to pay the full amount.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   They called me back and fixed the time.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I went home and put down my luggage. I changed my clothes and went out directly.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When I got to the real estate company, I saw a familiar person.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Cindy.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   How could she be here?   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When I was confused, the agent came up and said, &#8220;Miss Carter, here you are. This is the buyer, Miss Lewis.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   York was big and had a lot of people. I didn&#8217;t expect Cindy to buy my house.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Cindy was also a little surprised. &#8220;Miss Carter, is it you who are selling the house?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Yes.&#8221; I nodded.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The agent immediately said, &#8220;do you know each other? Great! Let&#8217;s go to see the house now!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   We went to my house together.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Cindy was dressed in a long dress and behaved gracefully as usual.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   On the way, she asked me, &#8220;Miss Carter, this community is well located and the property is good. I consulted for a long time but no one sold. Why do you sell it?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;I need money badly.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Cindy was gentle. I thought she was approachable.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I didn&#8217;t hide it from her.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Oh&#8230;&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Cindy didn&#8217;t continue to ask.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The atmosphere was a bit awkward so I asked, &#8220;are you buying a house for investment?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Investment? No, I have a&#8230;&#8221; Cindy paused and seemed to think for a moment before saying, &#8220;I have a cousin who has been abroad. He wants to go back to America. I&#8217;m afraid he doesn&#8217;t have a suitable place to live when he comes back, so I find a house for him first.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Her tone was bland and she didn&#8217;t seem to be talking about a 10 million dollars house at all.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   She just seemed to be renting or buying bags.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   But it was none of my business. All I had to do was get more than ten million dollars.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   We arrived at my house.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Cindy saw my suitcase in the corner and asked, &#8220;Miss Carter, do you still live here?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;No! I&#8217;ll be moving in a few days.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I thought Cindy would mind.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I didn&#8217;t expect her to say, &#8220;my cousin won&#8217;t be back in the near future. Even if I buy it, you don&#8217;t have to move recently.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The real estate agent is very happy, &#8220;it&#8217;s convenient because you know each other.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Although Cindy said that, I couldn&#8217;t do it. &#8220;I&#8217;ll move as soon as possible.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Because the buyer was Cindy, the process was particularly smooth.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I didn&#8217;t want furniture so we didn&#8217;t have a problem. Cindy gave me the money on the spot. We signed the contract and went to the real estate bureau in the afternoon.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   After Cindy left, the agency contacted another real estate company for me.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   They had a house. Although its price was a little high, it had complete furniture and facilities. I could pay the rent monthly.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   It was more convenient.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I quickly rented the house and decided to move on Sunday.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I had a day off. I went to work the next day. I found Linda&#8217;s contact information in the company&#8217;s address book. I called her but her phone was turned off.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   At this time, Lucius called me to his office.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He said with satisfaction, &#8220;June, I thought you would be the last. I didn&#8217;t expect you to come in third. Well done!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I talked to him for a while and asked him, &#8220;President Lucius, can I ask you Linda&#8217;s phone number? I checked the company&#8217;s address book, but it is an empty number.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Linda?&#8221; Lucius touched his chin and thought, &#8220;I heard she quit when she came back.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;She quit?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Yes, I met her boss. She regrets that.&#8221; Lucius looked at me curiously. &#8220;What happened to you there? Why did she come back early and quit?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Nothing.&#8221; I felt aggrieved for Linda.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I wouldn&#8217;t say anything about her.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I left my work to others before, so I was free now.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I looked at 14 million dollars in my account.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Sherry&#8217;s ward, ventilator and care cost more than 20000 dollars a day.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Sacred Heart Hospital was very expensive.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Fourteen million dollars wouldn&#8217;t last two years!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   What should I do in two years?   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I had to discuss it with Carter Family.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I called Marlin and Jessica to meet at a coffee shop in the evening.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Although they didn&#8217;t want to listen to me, I knew Jessica&#8217;s secret and I told Marlin I could pay.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I met them in the evening.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   They had arrived when I entered the cafe. I said, &#8220;I sold my house in York No.1.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;What?&#8221; When I finished, Jessica was angry. &#8220;That house is worth a lot of money. My mother bought it for you. Now you have sold it. We have to share the money.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Ha-ha.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I knew Jessica would say that.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Listen to her.&#8221; Marlin was angry, too, but he knew I wouldn&#8217;t sell it for no reason.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I went on, &#8220;I&#8217;m going to use the money to pay for grandma&#8217;s hospitalization.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Are you crazy?&#8221; Jessica was not happy. &#8220;How much do you have? If you give us money to do business, we can make money. Treating your grandma is a waste. She&#8217;s dead!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I looked up at her and asked, &#8220;isn&#8217;t she your mother?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Jessica blushed in a flash. She said angrily, &#8220;she&#8217;s my mother. So what? The living are the most important!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;June.&#8221; Marlin looked at me. &#8220;How much did you sell that house?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Fourteen million dollars.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I told him the truth.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;You are filial, but now our company still owes money. We can&#8217;t help you. Once our company goes out of business, all our employees will lose their jobs.&#8221; Marlin made his point and went on, &#8220;what will you do in two years, even if you paid the full cost?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Can&#8217;t your company get better in two years?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I just wanted to talk about it with Marlin and Jessica today.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I knew their company was in a bad situation. But couldn&#8217;t it get better in two years?   <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I got off the plane, I found that there were few call records in my cell phone.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Only Daisy and the real estate agent called me.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I called Daisy back and told her what happened these days.
