Chapter 52 Shen Xingguo comes to ask for money
In one afternoon, Chen Baomei looked at several villas.
Chen Baomei took a fancy to a second-hand detached villa in the school district of Jinxiu Primary School.
There are three floors above and two floors in the basement, with a single floor area of more than 150 square meters, two parking spaces, and a large garden outside where you can grow flowers, grass and vegetables.
The total price of the villa is 2.08 million.
Chen Baomei thought back and remembered that in her previous life when she lived in a rental house, the price of a villa here had risen to more than 9 million.
At that time, Shen Qin and Wu Wenwan made some money from stock speculation with the capital they got from Chen Baomei. They planned to exchange it for a villa, and that's why Chen Baomei knew the price of this villa so clearly.
The value increased so much in just a few years, and she felt that she would not suffer any loss no matter what.
Moreover, the owner had only lived in this apartment for half a year after it was renovated. He reluctantly sold it because he urgently needed funds for his business, so the decoration was still very new and he could move in with just a simple cleanup, which met Chen Baomei's needs very well.
After confirming that everything was correct, Chen Baomei immediately decided on this plan.
That evening, Shen Rui was stunned to learn that his mother had booked a villa after a round of shopping.
"Mom is really quick! Over two million, she's really willing to spend it."
I didn't expect that after saving all my life, I could even book a villa worth several million without blinking an eye when I got old.
The mortgage for the small house they live in now was paid off when Xiaojiuer was born.
Guo Xiaoxiao glanced at him, and seeing that his mind was wandering, he casually said, "Keep your mouth shut, and don't tell your two brothers everything."
Shen Rui urgently needed to find someone to share this shocking news with, but apart from his family, he really couldn't find anyone to talk to.
"Even if I don't tell them, they will know sooner or later."
Guo Xiaoxiao twirled the two large gold bracelets her mother-in-law had given her during the Lunar New Year. "I don't care, as long as you don't spread the news."
She knew that her mother-in-law was not a cold-hearted person. This could be seen from how her mother-in-law treated her eldest and second brothers' families.
She was so wary of them because she was deeply hurt by them.
The third branch's attitude towards their mother-in-law has never changed, so their mother-in-law treats them well.
Although she is now given a pension of 1,000 yuan every month, didn’t her mother-in-law return the favor by giving her two large gold bracelets during the Chinese New Year?
These two gold bracelets are worth more than 20,000 yuan.
The mother-in-law treats them well, so they have to reciprocate and consider her from her perspective. Only then can the relationship last long.
Shen Rui asked: "Mom has become rich, do you think we don't have to give her the 1,000 yuan pension in the future?"
Guo Xiaoxiao really wanted to knock his head open with a hammer to see what was inside.
"Whether I give you pension money or not, what does it have to do with my mom becoming a rich woman?"
"She's already a multi-millionaire, and she still cares about our little money?" Shen Rui felt a little unbalanced.
He has no income now and relies on his wife for support.
My wife works in foreign trade. Although her commission is high, it is not very stable.
One thousand yuan a month is actually not a small amount for them.
With this money saved, I can buy three or four cans of milk powder for Xiaojiuer every month.
The main reason was that Chen Baomei bought a villa worth more than two million without blinking an eye, which made Shen Rui a little upset.
"No matter how much money Mom has, it's all from our heart. Unless she says she doesn't need to give, we have to continue giving. My parents already give her a thousand a month. If we stop giving her retirement money just because she's well-off, wouldn't that be unfair? Even though you're the head of the family, you have to listen to me on this matter."
"Didn't my dad give it to me, too?"
"Your father?"
Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed with sarcasm, "I don't have the habit of supporting the cheating Lao Deng."
Shen Rui felt helpless, "Okay, the money is earned by you, you have the final say."
After just one day of running around, Liang Shuang got a big order. He was so happy that his service attitude became even better.
After inviting Chen Baomei and her grandchildren to dinner, she personally sent them back to Dongping Village.
When Chen Baomei walked home from the village entrance, she saw Shen Xingguo walking back and forth outside the yard, and a woman was standing under the half-broken pomegranate tree that extended outside the wall.
Chen Baomei took a look and realized that it was Shen Xingguo's mistress Gao Xiuyun.
Looking at Shen Xingguo’s impatient look, you can tell that they have been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Chen Baomei coming back, Shen Xingguo drooped his lips and said unhappily: "Where have you been? You didn't even answer the phone!"
When Chen Baomei saw it was his call, she hung up immediately.
I don't need to ask to know why he came to see me.
"Going out to play."
Chen Baomei took out the key and opened the gate of the yard.
"Humph, now that you have money, you just hang out, you spendthrift bitch."
Shen Xingguo still had a vivid memory of Chen Baomei buying hundreds of thousands of jewelry in one go, and he was still upset about it.
"I spend my money, what the hell is it to you?"
Chen Baomei said unhappily.
"Your money? What do you mean by your money? I own half of the demolition compensation! Every dollar you spend gets 50 cents from me!"
The courtyard door opened, and as soon as Chen Baomei stepped into the courtyard, Shen Xingguo followed her in.
But just as he stepped into the yard, Chen Baomei stomped on him hard and twisted him violently the next second.
Shen Xingguo screamed and quickly retreated.
"Why are you stepping on me!"
He stood on one leg and hugged his foot with both hands, his face twisted in pain.
Gao Xiuyun quickly ran over and supported him.
Chen Baomei folded her arms, stood at the door, blocking Shen Xingguo's way, and leisurely admired his ugly grinning face.
"You're wrong. We divorced a long time ago. The demolition compensation was based on my personal and exclusive property. It's my money alone."
"And no dirty things are allowed in my house."
"you!"
Shen Xingguo pointed at her, his face flushed with anger.
Gao Xiuyun complained, "Sister, no matter what, you can't step on others. You and Brother Xing were once husband and wife. Look at what you've done to Brother Xing. You're too cruel."
"Sister? It seems you are quite aware of your status. You act like an unpresentable concubine."
Chen Baomei was really disgusted by the pretentious way she was called "sister".
Gao Xiuyun's powdered face twisted in anger.
Before she could speak, Shen Xingguo jumped up and started charging for his old wife.
He straightened his back and taught Chen Baomei a lesson in a self-proclaimed domineering manner.
"Xiuyun is my legitimate wife, not a concubine. I will not allow you to insult her like this."
As he spoke, he suddenly smiled strangely.
"Chen Baomei, do you regret divorcing me? You're jealous of Xiuyun, so you deliberately belittle her status! If you admit that you're jealous, I can give you a chance and let you move in with us. However, I can't get a marriage certificate with you. You can only follow me without any official status."
“Crash!”
Chen Baomei picked up a bucket of cold water used to feed the chickens and poured it on them.
"Bah! You old bastard, are you still in your head? You're daydreaming before it even gets dark. Only flies will fly over this disgusting pile of shit of yours."
"Get out of here right now, or I'll beat you up every time I see you!"
Chen Baomei pulled Niu Niu into the yard and slammed the door shut.
The two men, who were caught cold by the cold, were shaking with anger.
Shen Xingguo yelled and cursed at the gate for a while, but there was no movement from inside, which instead attracted the neighbors to come out and watch the fun.
Shen Xingguo wanted to save face, so he left with Gao Xiuyun in disgrace.
On the way, Gao Xiuyun said indignantly: "I didn't get the money and I was thrown a punch. Brother Xing, are we just going to let it go like this?"
Shen Xingguo snorted coldly, “Forget it? How is that possible!”
"The second brother said that her relocation compensation was at least tens of millions, and that included my share. How could I let it go to her alone?"
"If she doesn't give it to us, there's nothing we can do."
Shen Xingguo wrung out his soaked clothes and said calmly, "Don't worry, I have my share of the money. No matter what method I use, I have to get it back!"
If he really can't get the money openly, he will have to resort to some tricks.
