Regarding the price of the house, Xu Mumu indeed knew, and she directly told her parents the price.
Then, both of them went silent, not wanting to speak. In these past two years, the family had saved so money, and Li Caixia considered their family to have so assets. But upon hearing the house’s price, she fell into silence.
"Dear, how about we try to persuade Minghui when we get ho tonight? The house is so expensive, how much money would we have to earn to afford it? Our current house is already quite big and comfortable. Even if we want to buy a house, it doesn’t have to be that big," Xu Hai said with difficulty. The price his daughter ntioned was astronomical to him.
"I agree," Li Caixia said approvingly.
"Co on, if my brother can afford it, taking that house will only increase its value in the future," Xu Mumu said with a smile.
"Increase in what value?" Li Caixia looked at her daughter in confusion, but she always trusted her daughter’s words, believing that her daughter was the smartest in the family and couldn’t be wrong.
"This area will only beco more prosperous and affluent in the future. More wealthy people will be around, and when they are, they’ll all want to buy houses here in the city. At that point, houses will beco scarce, and prices will only go up," Xu Mumu explained the intricacies to them.
"Then we should buy the house, but we don’t have that much money. How about we pawn the things we have at ho?" Li Caixia said, conflicted, her voice lowering at the end. The jewelry kept at ho had never been worn outside.
"Keep those things; they will certainly beco more valuable in the future. As for money, I’m sure my brother has a solution, so don’t worry," Xu Mumu said with a smile. Her mother had collected quite a few items that could certainly be sold for a substantial sum if needed, but selling them now was not wise; waiting for a few more decades would still be perfectly fine.
Moreover, it’s not like they urgently need money now. Even if her mother urgently needed money, Xu Mumu could lend it to her.
"I’ll ask Minghui his thoughts tonight. This kid, quietly handling such a big deal," Xu Hai quickly said.
"It’s not certain. Maybe brother doesn’t want to buy a house; he just wants to expand the business," Xu Mumu said with a smile.
When they got ho in the evening, Li Caixia pulled her son into a room to discuss it.
As it turned out, her daughter guessed right; her son really had his eyes on that big house.
"Minghui, I asked Mumu today, that house is very expensive for us to buy," Li Caixia said, swallowing hard. The house was so nice, she obviously loved it, but reality made her realize that not everything she liked could be bought.
"I know, Mom. I’ve saved quite a bit, and with another half year of savings, we’ll definitely have enough. Don’t worry," Xu Minghui said seriously. He hadn’t expected his mom to already know about this.
Over the past two years, almost all the profits from the large supermarket Xu Minghui managed went directly to him, so Li Caixia didn’t really know how much he had earned.
Before sleeping, Jiang Yuxiu asked him about the matter: "During dinner, what did Mom call you over for?" Jiang Yuxiu asked curiously.
"It was about buying a house, Mom found out," Xu Minghui didn’t hide anything from Jiang Yuxiu. They had already discussed buying a house together.
"What did Mom say? Is she against it?" Jiang Yuxiu asked worriedly.
"Not really, she’s just a bit reluctant to part with the money," Xu Minghui shook his head with a smile.
"That’s good, then," Jiang Yuxiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom’s worried we don’t have enough money; that house is indeed quite expensive," Xu Minghui said gently.
"I know, but didn’t we agree on it? The house is really nice, and it’s close to my sister. It’s also big enough for the future when we have kids, and when our two younger brothers grow up, we’ll have enough space," Jiang Yuxiu was also concerned that Xu Minghui might abandon the idea of buying the house.
"I understand, I’m not saying we shouldn’t buy. My parents are just reluctant to spend the money, but it’s okay. In another six months, we’ll almost have enough," Xu Minghui nodded, understanding his wife’s concerns. The house here was indeed a bit laughable; when the younger brother finishes high school, moving would be entirely feasible.
"Does Mom not want to buy the house?" Jiang Yuxiu asked cautiously.
"Not that, she does want it. She knows about the house and is tempted, but she doesn’t have much money on hand," Xu Minghui said with a smile.
Jiang Yuxiu imdiately felt at ease. As long as they could co up with the money to buy a house, they definitely wouldn’t oppose it any longer.
Jiang Yuxiu was well aware of how much money they had. Xu Minghui had worked hard over the past two years and saved a significant amount, so even if they spent it all on a house, the money might get depleted, but the large supermarkets contributed daily inco.
While the two were thinking about the house, Xu Hai and Li Caixia were also thinking about it. They had saved so money over the past two years, but not much, so they could afford a small house but could only dream of Huo Qingze’s villas.
"Do you think what our eldest is saying is reliable? With that much money, you could build several houses of that size," Li Caixia was still torn about her son’s intention to buy such a large house. It was big and beautiful, and of course, she wanted it, but the price made her hesitate.
"Did you hear Mumu say that buying this house will increase its value? Let’s trust Mumu," Xu Hai decided, after two seconds of silence, to believe their daughter; she couldn’t be wrong.
"That’s true. If Mumu says it will make money, it will definitely make money, and she advised us not to touch those treasures too, at least until Fengfeng gets married. She said those treasures will appreciate in value later," Li Caixia calculated on her fingers.
Her daughter regarded those treasures as very important, indicating they were significant. Even now, they were valuable. Back then, she and Xu Hai acquired primarily gold and silver jewelry, which is worth a lot now.
But with her daughter’s words, Li Caixia planned to keep those items, thinking maybe they could beco family heirlooms. Generations of descendants wouldn’t even need to work but could live well with these items, Li Caixia thought happily.
anwhile, Xu Mumu was having trouble sleeping. Putting the little one next to her, Xu Mumu saw he was asleep and picked up a book to read. With Yin Yang gone, she found it hard to sleep and still couldn’t fall asleep at this ti.
Tucking the blanket around the little guy, she saw him sleeping soundly, and Xu Mumu flipped the pages gently, avoiding waking him.
