Chapter 577: How Much?

Fu Mingxue mentally praised herself for her quick thinking. She was glad she’d remembered the money from the last house purchase.

Seeing her mother looking a little pleased, she seized the opportunity. "Why don’t we all go over and take a look?"

"Alright. Let’s go take a look." The house was already bought, which meant it was theirs.

Of course they had to go see it.

Qin Wenhao simply picked up both kids to bring them along.

The whole family went over to the courtyard house next door.

"This house is really nice. It seems even newer than ours, and I can’t believe all the furniture is still here."

Mrs. Fu noticed many differences as she went inside to look around.

"See! It’s a good thing I snapped it up, or someone else would have."

Lying came so easily to Fu Mingxue.

She didn’t even blush.

Now that the house’s origin was taken care of, she also had the system alter the records. In the future—even if someone investigated—they wouldn’t be able to find anything.

Besides, she believed the system might even reward her with more houses in the future.

’The more, the better!’

System: ...?

’In your dreams.’

The two courtyard houses were about the same size.

This one, however, still had a lot of mahogany furniture.

After checking every nook and cranny, Mrs. Fu declared that she was very pleased with it.

"It’s a shame this house will just have to sit empty." Both houses were so large; there was no way they could live in both. No way at all.

She had truly never imagined a day would come—a time when she’d have too many houses to live in.

In the past, something like this would have been unimaginable.

Back in their hometown, the Fu family had been desperate to get their hands on the house her own family lived in.

Fu Mingxue said, "Mom, this house was built with high-quality wood, so it won’t get damaged easily. It’s fine if we leave it empty. We just have to come clean it every once in a while."

Mrs. Fu was now thinking that she would clean the house in the next few days if she had the time.

The house was already bought; it wasn’t as if they could return it.

Besides—she’d asked around—getting a courtyard house like this for seven thousand was practically a steal.

House prices in this area seemed to have gone up since last year, too!

With that thought, Mrs. Fu no longer felt her daughter had been reckless with her money.

Mrs. Qin arrived just as Fu Mingxue and her family were coming out of the house.

She was very surprised. "What are you all doing here?"

"Oh, you’re here! Come on in and take a look. This is the house Mingxue bought."

Mrs. Qin was stunned by what she said.

"Mingxue bought this house?"

"That’s right. She used her bonus money to buy it."

Mrs. Fu’s voice was filled with pride.

"She got a bonus of fifteen thousand the other day."

They were all family, so there was nothing to hide.

’How much? Fifteen thousand?’ Hearing the number, Mrs. Qin was once again stunned.

’Good heavens, was her daughter-in-law really that capable?’

Fu Mingxue added, "It was a bonus from First Auto Factory."

’Huh? Hadn’t I told my in-laws about this? I could’ve sworn I did.’

’Oh well, it doesn’t matter.’

Mrs. Qin: ...?

’This daughter-in-law of hers wasn’t just capable; she was extraordinary.’

Mrs. Fu said, "Come, come take a look at the house. It’s really wonderful."

Of course, Mrs. Qin had to take a look; after all, it was a house her daughter-in-law had bought.

She walked inside.

The whole family went back into the courtyard, accompanying Mrs. Qin as she looked it over again.

After looking around, Mrs. Qin couldn’t hide the delight in her eyes.

"This courtyard house is really wonderful."

Seeing this, Fu Mingxue said, "Mom, if you’d like to live here, you can. The house is empty anyway."

"Oh, no need for that. Your grandparents are still at home. With such a big family, I couldn’t possibly move over here. But this house really is wonderful. How much did you buy it for?"
