Xie Li took several deep breaths to calm herself down.
She whispered, "Are you kidding?"
"I'm not kidding. Those foreign luxury brands, even if they are foreign, can only be afforded by rich kids."
She couldn't believe that a torn skirt cost so much money.
"How do you know?"
I...ah, how should I know?
"I've seen it on TV."
"When?"
"You don't like to watch it, so you haven't seen it."
Xie Li looked at Ye Xiaozhen with suspicion.
Ye Xiaozhen quickly changed the subject, "This skirt shouldn't be the most expensive one. I think that down jacket and leather shoes are not cheap either. Hongxia's half box of clothes, plus a children's watch, must cost several thousand yuan in total."
Xie Li opened her mouth wide.
How many thousands of dollars for such a small thing?
"This wasteful thing, this..." What is this?
Xie Li gave a wry smile.
I wonder if she and he are still a family?
It’s not too late.
Ye Xiaozhen reminded her, "He has been lying to you for more than a month. Do you want to expose him?"
I felt very depressed when I thought about how much money he spent on things for the kids, but he lied to me about it.
"Hmph, no wonder he gave it so readily. I think this two or more dollars is just a drop in the bucket for him."
"Oh, sister, what do you think we should do?"
Xie Li shook her head and sighed, "I don't know either. But in two years, he should have a 'salary increase'. I'll ask him how much he makes now."
"He will definitely show you a pay slip, a fake pay slip."
Shirley nodded.
Now she was a little distracted while working, and looked out through the glass window from time to time.
After a while, she suddenly said, "Xiaozhen, how about I give you a note?"
"What? What?"
"I don't want to buy a house, and I don't have enough money. Can I borrow some reasonable money from you? Now that he's back, I have to let him know about the family's debts and let him find a way to pay them back."
Ye Xiaozhen thought this was feasible.
"Okay, then what do you think is a suitable loan?"
She thought for a moment and said, "Borrow 20,000 yuan."
The total cost of the house is just over 20,000.
Xie Li added, "It's still under renovation."
Well, she didn't spend any money on the renovation.
But her house is well decorated, and it shouldn't cost a lot of money according to this standard.
At this time, Zhang Jianhua called Xie Li from outside.
Xie Li gave Ye Xiaozhen a look and told her to go out first.
She washed her hands and took off her apron. "What do you want me to do? I'm cooking."
"I'll go cook later and see the gift I brought you."
"What gift?"
"This, do you think it looks good?"
녈Open a box and there is a string of pearls inside.
Xie Li looked at it and said, "What is this? Why does it look like the plastic toy that Hongxia played with?"
"This is not a plastic toy, this is pearls. Women in Haicheng love to wear cheongsams and then wear a string of pearls like this. I will buy you a cheongsam. Come and try it on to see if you like it."
She looked at the cheongsam and curled her lips. "This is for summer. How cold is it to wear it now?"
"You can try it on to see if it fits you. If it doesn't fit, take it to the tailor for alterations."
Xie Li took it and walked to the backyard.
Zhang Jianhua: "Where are you going?"
"I'm going home. I won't change here."
ah?
go home?
"Don't you live with them?"
At this time Hongxia said: "Dad, this is my uncle's house, next door to ours."
Um?
"Our house? You mean we buy a house too?"
"Oh, how else can I go to school?"
He heard from Grandma Liu that she was buying a house, so he bought a house for Xie Linan, and Xie Li and her daughter lived with them.
Unexpectedly, Xie Li also bought a house herself.
Zhang Jianhua packed his suitcase in a hurry, carried it and followed Hongxia to the next door.
I went to the second floor next door and came back after a while.
Xie Li took out the key and opened the door. The small two-bedroom apartment was decorated very stylishly. He felt it was better looking than the houses in Haicheng.
"Did you find and renovate this house yourself?"
Xie Li said casually, "How could I do that? Lin An and Xiao Zhen helped with it, and I just paid for it."
"How much does this house cost?"
"The renovation cost more than 10,000 yuan, close to 40,000 yuan. The money you sent back in the past two years, plus some of my previous savings, minus the expenses of Hongxia and me, is not enough to buy this house. I borrowed 20,000 yuan from Lin An and others, and now I'm paying them back."
"ah?"
"The decoration is OK, but the furniture is not so good. There is no way. I have no money. I want to pay them back and save money to buy furniture. Now that you are back, do you have any money? If you do, take out some and pay them back."
He couldn't take out 20,000 yuan all at once, otherwise she would ask him all sorts of questions.
"I don't have that much money."
"So how strong are you?"
"I have a few thousand dollars on me. I need to spend it during the New Year and pay for transportation after the New Year."
"Alas!" Xie Li sighed and said, "There is still a lot left. We will all work harder next year and try to earn enough money to pay it back as soon as possible."
"Okay."
"I don't make much money here, so don't count on me. Hongxia is still growing up, so I won't lose her anything. I have to use the money I earn to support Hongxia first, and I will pay her back if there is a surplus. So I'm counting on you for the 20,000 yuan."
Zhang Jianhua nodded. "As you should. Your family has worked hard to raise Hongxia. Don't worry about your debt. I will find a way to get the money and send it back to you later."
"Okay, sit down for a while while I go change my clothes."
"good."
Zhang Jianhua went to the small living room outside and talked to Hongxia and asked her about her grades.
Hongxia said frankly: "I just changed this year. I couldn't keep up at the beginning of the school. I was always in the last few. Now I have passed the exam in the middle."
Zhang Jianhua rubbed her head happily and said, "It's already amazing. The teaching quality of the school in your village cannot be compared with Wangxiang Primary School. You must study hard and take the college entrance examination in Haicheng in the future."
"Dad, do you work in Haicheng?"
"No, Dad is abroad."
"I said, does your unit know Haicheng?"
"We have units in many places across the country, and now we are in Haicheng."
"Why do I remember...you mentioned a city in the south?"
Zhang Jianhua smiled and said, "Oh, then, now it's Haicheng."
Since there are all over the country, why is it in Haicheng now? She was a little confused.
"Is Haicheng good?"
"That's good. There are opportunities to make money everywhere. You must learn English well. Doing business with foreign countries is the most profitable. The money you make from doing business with them is US dollars."
“Is the US dollar more valuable?”
"It must be more valuable." He paused and said, "It will be more valuable in the future."
