Chapter 1103: Chapter 1089: Kang Li: How Can This Even Be Compared?
"With all the competitions I’ve participated in over the years, the state has given me quite a few rewards. Just last year when I went abroad for a competition, the prize money I won was already a hefty sum, enough for me to buy a two-entry courtyard house for my parents in North City."
Through "Dwen Dwen," she learned that many elderly people are returning to North City from the countryside after resuming work, wanting to reunite with their children abroad, rely on relatives abroad, or simply live overseas. They’re thinking of quietly selling their old houses at home for a low price to take the money and leave as soon as possible.
Afraid of any further changes.
According to current prices, buying a small courtyard costs just a few thousand bucks, a two-entry one twelve or thirteen thousand at most, and the bigger ones are naturally more expensive.
With the money she had, buying a two-entry courtyard was just a drop in the bucket.
"I know, but that doesn’t change my desire to be filial to my parents."
Luo Yanqing didn’t give in.
"Professor Luo, can’t you just be good? Do we need to distinguish between you and me? My being filial to my parents is equivalent to you being filial, and besides, the articles I’ve published and novels I’ve written over the years have brought me quite a bit of income too. Last year, the publisher printed and sold my novel, and you sat right next to me and saw exactly how much they gave me. You haven’t forgotten, have you?"
"Yeah."
"So, what are you still insisting on? You and I are married; we are one. And I’m delighted that you want to be filial to my parents as well. Don’t worry; when I buy the house, I’ll tell my parents it was bought by both of us to show our respect to them."
"You make more money than I do."
"How’s that a comparison? You’re contributing to our country’s scientific research, and what I do isn’t as commendable as that."
"Your writing and novel publications are enlightening people’s minds and cultivating their character, so your contribution to the country and society is no less than mine."
"Alright, alright, we’re both amazing!"
Kang Li laughed out loud, looked up, and gave the man a light kiss on the chin, saying with a smile, "To be honest, I have a knack for making money. Just wait and see; I’ll make so much money it’ll leave you astounded."
Luo Yanqing kissed Kang Li’s hair on her forehead and whispered softly, "Our family isn’t short of money, so don’t work too hard."
"I definitely won’t overwork myself; I’m just investing."
Kang Li spoke nonchalantly, "When my investments yield a hefty return, I’ll pour lots of money into your institute to support your research work. How about that, happy?"
Looking into Kang Li’s bright eyes, Luo Yanqing smiled gently, "Very happy, but aren’t you worried about the money?"
"What’s there to be worried about? It’s called harmonious collaboration between husband and wife, understand?"
Kang Li jutted her chin out proudly.
Luo Yanqing was moved, his lips quivered slightly as he softly said, "Got it!"
Then Kang Li changed the topic, "Once we buy the house and fix it up properly, I’ll call home and invite Dad and my elder brother over."
"Do as you see fit; I fully support your decision."
Hearing this from Luo Yanqing, Kang Li smiled, "My Luo Professor is the best."
Then she covered her mouth and yawned, before changing her expression suddenly, "It’s all your fault for tiring me out. I was going to chat with you some more, but now I’m so tired my eyes can’t stay open, and every part of my body hurts!"
"It’s my fault."
He kissed Kang Li’s forehead and said, "Go to sleep, I’ll massage your lower back."
