Chapter 223 Her mother isn't very bright.
"Her?" Deng Xiuzhen looked at Wen Xin, smiled, and said, "She's calculating, and I don't know what she wants. Let's wait for her to bring it up herself." Deng Xiuzhen didn't tell Wen Jing and Wen Yu what Wen Xin had been doing these past two days, not because she didn't want to, but because she didn't have time. Before, she wasn't sure, so she couldn't say. Now that she was certain, she couldn't just open her mouth without finding the right opportunity, could she?
"Wenxin, tell Mom what you want right away," Wenjing urged hurriedly.
"Mom, I know I shouldn't have done these things, but I'm still your child, and I'll take care of you in your old age..."
"Let's get straight to the point, stop with the nonsense," Deng Xiuzhen interrupted Qin Wenxin. She didn't believe a word Qin Wenxin said.
In her past life, Qin Wenxin wasn't so cunning, which made her life so miserable. In this life, Qin Wen is not only cunning but also ruthless.
Relying on her for old age? That's probably the kind of exploitation where she takes everything and then throws you into a frying pan!
“Okay, Mom, then I’ll be frank. I know my place; I know you don’t like me, so I’m telling you my thoughts. If you’re willing to give, I’ll remember your kindness; if you’re not, I won’t blame you.” Qin Wenxin took a sip of water and continued:
“I also want a house. I don’t need it to be as big as theirs. I’d be happy with 80 or 90 square meters, or even 60 or 70 square meters.”
Also, I'll be graduating next year, and I plan to get married right after graduation. I hope you can help me with the wedding arrangements.
"Wenxin, you can give her more pointers..." Wenjing was getting anxious. If she really only gave Wenxin this little bit, wouldn't that be too unfair?
“I’m selfish, of course I want more, but everything I have belongs to my parents, and I can only ask for it if they’re willing to give it to me. Otherwise, what’s the point of making any more demands?” Wenxin gave a bitter smile.
Given her current situation, she would be grateful if her mother agreed to her request; she wouldn't dare ask for anything more.
“Okay, I promise you, you won’t have to go to school tomorrow. I’ll take you to book a house.” Deng Xiuzhen said, turning and going to the kitchen.
Qin Wenxin breathed a sigh of relief: With a house of her own and a good relationship with Long Xiaobin's family, no matter what changes in the future, life won't be too bad.
"Wenxin, this isn't fair to you. Don't be angry with your mother. I'll try to persuade her again and see if she can treat everyone equally." Wenjing said apologetically.
"Wenjing, thank you. But please don't bother Mom anymore. Mom's distribution of the property wasn't unfair. When Mom and Dad divorced, Wenyu and I chose to stay with Dad, but you were the only one who stood up for Mom without hesitation, so she gave you the property, which you deserve."
As for Wenyu and me, although we made the same choice, he was young at the time and it's normal that he lacked judgment, but I was older than him.
Furthermore, Wenyu is a boy, as you should know. According to traditional thinking, it's only natural for parents to leave their property to their son.
"Wenxin..." Wenjing was speechless, feeling very sad and that she had wronged Wenxin.
Wen Yu remained silent, choosing to remain invisible. He even avoided speaking to Wen Jing when she tried to say something to him.
The two sisters had nothing to say and went to the kitchen to help.
Dinner was lavish, but the atmosphere was strange. While Deng Xiuzhen ate happily, the three siblings, Wenjing, Wenxin, and Wenyu, ate cautiously, making Qin Yanlin, who had been largely ignored, stand out because he took a few extra bites.
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, the whole family got up early, had breakfast, and then went to see two large houses.
Wenjing and Wenyu both said they would follow Deng Xiuzhen's arrangements, so she made the decision directly, letting them sign their respective contracts and taking them to complete the house purchase procedures.
At this time, the real estate market was gradually becoming more regulated, and ordinary people did not have a strong desire to buy houses; pre-sale properties and similar products were not yet widely popular.
In addition, Deng Xiuzhen had lived two lives. In her previous life, she had seen various scams and tricks used by people when buying a house online, so she knew how to avoid them. As a result, she was able to buy a good ready-made house, and the procedures were simple and convenient.
Wen Xin followed absentmindedly. Although she had managed to convince herself to come to terms with it, she felt a pang of jealousy and resentment when she saw Wen Jing and Wen Yu's large and spacious house, which was even bigger than her own wedding room in her previous life.
But there was nothing he could do but endure it, fearing that Deng Xiuzhen would change her mind and he would lose his little house.
"What about yours? Do you have any ideas?" After settling Wenjing and Wenyu into their houses, Deng Xiuzhen began to arrange things for Wenxin.
"Can I go and see if there are any suitable houses?" Wenxin asked cautiously.
“Sure, I looked at a few properties yesterday. Shall I take you to see them?” Deng Xiuzhen was planning to buy a house for Wenxin and didn’t mind buying her a nicer one.
"Okay," Qin Wenxin was about to say she would listen to him when a memory suddenly popped into her mind: the house she and Long Xiaobin lived in later was not the current house of the Long family, but in Nanshan District.
The house is over 120 square meters and cost more than 13 million yuan to buy. The whole family scrimped and saved to pay off the mortgage for many years. So much so that even after Yao Xiaobin's parents retired, they continued to find work.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have asked Deng Xiuzhen to come and help take care of the child.
And that house later even rose to tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan per square meter.
Thinking of this, Qin Wenxin quickly changed her mind and said, "Mom, can we go and take a look at the houses in Nanshan?"
"Nanshan? Nanshan is just a poor village now, where can you find any good houses to buy?" the salesperson interjected.
"Nanshan?" Deng Xiuzhen murmured softly. She felt something flash through her mind, but she couldn't quite grasp it.
"Oh, it's like this, I have a classmate who lives in Nanshan, and she said the houses there are cheap. I figured I can't afford the same kind of place as Wenjing and the others anyway, and we wouldn't be able to live together, so I might as well buy a place near my classmate's house, so I could have some company." Wenxin didn't dare to mention the memories that popped into her head.
She's already disliked by her parents; if they continue to treat her as an oddball, then things are really over.
"Mom, how about we buy a set together for Wenxin? I'll give you money when I earn it..." Wenjing felt a wave of guilt wash over her when she heard Wenxin say that.
"Wenjing, thank you for your kindness. But please don't say things like that again. You're forcing Mom and Dad to do things they don't want to do." Wenxin quickly stopped her. The property prices in Nanshan would skyrocket; she wanted to buy property there!
Deng Xiuzhen agreed with Wenxin's words, but she didn't want to say anything.
Because she didn't believe that Wenxin could change her personality in such a short time.
She guessed that Wenxin's underhanded tactics had failed, so she was now turning into a manipulative woman? Was she trying to provoke her into buying her a big house?
Wenxin was afraid that Wenjing would say something more. What if Deng Xiuzhen listened to her advice and really bought her a house here? Wouldn't she be at a huge loss?
"Mom, let's go to Nanshan. My classmate is a nice person, and it's good that our house is next to each other." Wenxin wanted to urge her, but she was afraid that Deng Xiuzhen would notice something was amiss.
Her mother wasn't very bright, but she was lucky. Best of all, she had a knack for sensing things out of the blue.
