Chapter 69 Zhong Li's Secret
"The baby hasn't been born yet, so we don't know whether it's a boy or a girl." Zhong Hui smiled slightly and couldn't help but say.
"I went to the hospital and the doctor said it's a son." The woman puffed out her belly proudly.
"It's hard to say if the baby isn't born yet." Zhong Hui said lightly.
"Hmph, don't curse me. What's the matter? Are you jealous because you can't give birth to a son?" the woman sneered.
"Don't talk nonsense." Zhong Fang patted the woman's hand and said somewhat unhappily.
"You'll know after the baby is born." Zhong Hui curled her lips and pulled Linlin inside.
"Mom, are you angry?" Linlin asked anxiously.
Zhong Hui shook her head: "Mom is not angry, she just can't stand it."
Zhong Hui was also a little depressed. What could she say to Zhong Fang and the others? She just liked to meddle in other people's business.
"This Zhong Fang uses more hair oil than I do when cooking. Ever since he married this woman, his taste has become increasingly ugly." Yang Fangqin also followed.
Zhong Hui thought about Zhong Fang's head. Yang Fangqin's analogy was quite appropriate.
The waiter invited them into the private room, and soon Zhong Qin and his wife came with Zhong Xin.
Zhong Ping greeted them with a smile. Zhong Li and her husband, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, also came over. "Then let's order. It's my treat today, so feel free to order."
"Oh, our fourth child has finally risen." Zhong Li sat over and joked.
"Third sister, I have been reborn." Zhong Ping said with a smile, and asked the waiter to bring the menu for them to order.
"Then I won't be polite. First, I'll have a traditional soup, boiled chicken, braised pigeon, and some radish and beef offal." Zhong Li ordered several in one breath.
"Well, let's order some Dongjiang stuffed tofu." Zhong Hui wanted to eat something vegetarian.
Each person ordered another one, and there were about eleven or twelve dishes, which was enough for everyone.
Zhong Ping still felt it was not enough, so she asked the waiter to serve each person an eight-treasure winter melon soup.
"That's enough, that's enough. It's a waste if you can't finish it." Seeing that Zhong Ping wanted to order more, Zhong Hui quickly stopped her.
"Okay, that's it. If it's not enough, we can order more." Zhong Ping put down the menu and handed it to the waiter.
While the food was being served, everyone chatted. They learned that Zhong Hui and Zhong Xiong had both bought houses in Bixi Garden. Zhong Qin agreed, saying, "It's time to do it. I'm not saying anything, but the education in town doesn't compare to that in the city. We didn't have the conditions before, but now we do. As parents, we absolutely have to give our children the best education."
"Yes, I think so too. After the New Year, we will move there and transfer Linlin and Zhong Xu. They can attend the primary school in the city center." Yang Fangqin nodded.
The five younger generations in the family are sitting in a row now. They don’t care what the adults say and are just talking about themselves.
Seeing that Li Xiaojuan seemed to be more lively, Zhong Hui turned her head and asked Zhong Ping, "Fourth sister, how about giving Xiaojuan a hand after the New Year?"
Zhong Ping thought about it and shook her head: "I'll think about it again."
Houses in the city are too expensive, so she wants to save the little money she has on hand for safety.
It was not convenient to talk about this topic at the moment, so Zhong Hui stopped talking and turned to look at Zhong Li's expression. Sure enough, when she heard that they were discussing buying a house, Zhong Li looked quite flustered.
"Yes, Lili, if you hadn't told me, wouldn't we have gone to the city to buy it? Why haven't you responded for a while? I've been wanting to ask, but I forgot." Yi Mincheng asked in confusion.
Zhong Li hurriedly said, "Well, wasn't there a customer who said a while ago that the housing prices in the city are too high. They're less than a thousand in town, but over three thousand in the city. He said if we wait a little longer, the house won't sell, so the price will definitely drop."
"Oh, so that's the case. Then we can wait a little longer." Yi Mincheng didn't understand these things, so he naturally listened to Zhong Li.
Zhong Qin immediately disagreed and said, "You can't calculate it that way. The housing prices really change every day. Maybe one day they will go up even higher."
Zhong Li smiled with difficulty: "I understand, second brother, we will do it as soon as possible."
"It's good that you know what's going on." Zhong Qin nodded.
The dishes came up quickly and Zhong Ping invited everyone to eat. Zhong Hui saw this and Zhong Li was obviously relieved.
What was her third sister doing? Zhong Hui thought about it carefully. Something was wrong. Very wrong.
They were almost done eating, and while Zhong Li was out to the bathroom, Zhong Hui quickly followed.
"Third sister, what have you been doing recently? It feels like I haven't seen you for a long time." Zhong Hui asked casually.
"I've been busy with the store lately. Business is good." Zhong Li said with a smile.
"Oh, as long as business is good." Zhong Hui nodded.
Zhong Li smiled, washed her hands, and prepared to go out. Zhong Hui suddenly said, "Third sister, you were so anxious to go to the city to buy a house right away, but you haven't been active lately. What's going on?"
"Didn't I tell you that I'll wait and see? The housing prices are inflated right now. I'm sure I can save a lot of money if I wait a little longer." Zhong Li said with a smile.
Zhong Hui frowned. "No, from what I know about you, when you want something, you don't care about the price. Your philosophy is to buy it early and enjoy it early."
You know, when they were young, if their parents gave them some pocket money, Zhong Li would definitely be the first to spend it.
"Besides, Shushu has to go to school. She will be in the fourth grade after the Chinese New Year. Aren't you in a hurry to transfer her to another school? Why are you still delaying? Something is wrong with you." Zhong Hui said word by word, and then looked at Zhong Li scrutinizingly.
Zhong Li had nowhere to hide from her gaze. She turned around and looked around. Seeing no one around, she quickly pulled Zhong Hui to a deserted corner and whispered, "Shh, stop talking. I've never seen you so smart before. Why are you acting like a detective today?"
Zhong Hui tilted her head and smiled, ignoring her interruption: "Go ahead."
Zhong Li spread her hands and said, "I used the money my eldest and second brothers gave me to buy a house, as well as our family savings, to buy stocks."
"What? Stocks?" Zhong Hui frowned. She had only heard of it on TV.
"Are you crazy? Aren't you afraid of losing money?" Zhong Hui was so anxious that she jumped up and down. Her third sister was really too bold.
"Speak a little more quietly. Are you afraid that others might not hear you?" Zhong Li was so frightened that she looked to the side quickly. Seeing that no one heard you, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Keep your voice down, I'm afraid Mincheng might hear it. I haven't told him about this." Zhong Li said somewhat unnaturally.
"Your third brother-in-law doesn't believe in stocks. He didn't let me buy it. If he heard it, it would be troublesome."
"He doesn't let you buy it, but you are still so brave. Sell it quickly and take out the money." Zhong Hui advised.
"No, that won't do. Now is the time to make money. I heard that this year is the Year of the Ox and we can make a lot of money." Zhong Li said she was unwilling to withdraw no matter what.
"Let me tell you, I invested 300,000 yuan and now I've made a lot of money. It will soon be 400,000 yuan. When it reaches 600,000 yuan, I will sell it." Zhong Li said excitedly.
"Third sister, do you understand stocks?" Zhong Hui was a little skeptical. She didn't even understand it herself, so how could she make money from it?
"I don't understand. I only know that it goes up every day and that's fine as long as I can make money." Zhong Li said indifferently.
"Don't tell anyone. I'll just tell you that I'll buy a house when I make money." Zhong Li repeatedly told Zhong Hui not to tell anyone.
Zhong Li is the kind of person who absolutely refuses to listen to advice, and Zhong Hui has no way to deal with her. If she really tells her third brother-in-law about it, Zhong Li will probably turn the tables and ignore her for a year or two.
