Chapter 1098 A Compromise
After shopping, Qiao Xing and Xiao Lin went home.
As soon as she got home, she found Wang Qin standing at the door, looking conflicted, unsure whether she should go in.
Qiao Xing walked over and called out, "Mom."
Compared to the first time, Qiao Xing no longer felt awkward when addressing Wang Qin.
She asked Wang Qin, "Why don't you go inside?"
Wang Qin seemed a little flustered, "I need to talk to you about something, but..."
Qiao Xing could tell from her expression that she was too embarrassed to say it.
"Come in first."
Wang Qin followed Qiao Xing inside.
She glanced at the child first, and after chatting briefly with Qiao Xing, she hesitantly told Qiao Xing about her visit.
“I’m planning to move out of your uncle’s house, buy a house, and move in with Xixi, so I’d like you to help me take a look.”
Qiao Xing was somewhat surprised, "Why are you suddenly moving out? Is it because of your uncle and aunt..."
Before Qiao Xing could finish speaking, Wang Qin hurriedly said, "No, no, it has nothing to do with them. I just want to move out myself. Xi Xi is getting older and older. If Xiao Yi has a child later, it will be inconvenient for the whole family to live together."
Although Bai Yi and Wang Ye do not live at the Wang family's house, they come back from time to time, and sometimes they stay at the house for a day or two.
Wang Qin felt that it wasn't right for them to continue living there.
After Grandpa Qin moved away, the house was left for Wang Qin and Xixi to live in.
Although Qiao Xing and Qin Ce didn't say anything, they just let them stay, but Wang Qin couldn't stand it for more than a month, so she moved back to the Wang family home.
Qiao Xing knew that Wang Qin was someone he found hard to accept, and he appreciated Qiao Xing's good intentions.
It's indeed inconvenient for her to continue living at the Wang family's house, so Qiao Xing understands that she wants to move out.
But she was still a little surprised when she heard Wang Qin say she wanted to buy a house.
After all, Qiao Xing knew about Wang Qin's life over the past few years.
Buying a house is no small matter, and Qiao Xing had no idea where Wang Qin got so much money from.
Wang Qin thought Qiao Xing was afraid she would ask her for money, so she quickly took out her bank card and said to Qiao Xing.
“This contains some of my savings. I’ve been working part-time and saving money over the past few years, just in case something happens to Xixi one day, so that this little bit of money can be used to help in an emergency.”
Wang Qin said, "I don't have much money in my card, but I should be able to make a down payment. I have a stable job at the cake shop now. The boss even said he wanted to let me manage the cake shop. As long as I can keep working here, I should be able to pay the mortgage every month."
Seeing how thoroughly she had considered things, Qiao Xing knew that she had probably started planning this a long time ago.
Wang Qin then explained to Qiao Xing, "I asked someone to check online about various issues related to buying a house, and I found that many of them were real estate agents and scammers. I was worried about being scammed, so I came to you for help."
Wang Qin was more inclined to believe Qiao Xing than the Wang family.
Wang Qin had thought things through very well, but buying a house was not as easy or simple as she had imagined.
Qiao Xing asked Wang Qin, "How much is in this card?"
"No more, no less, exactly 100,000."
Qiao Xing was slightly shocked when he heard this statement.
She found it hard to imagine what kind of life Wang Qin had been living over the past few years to have 100,000 yuan in her account.
Although Qiao Xing didn't want to disappoint Wang Qin, she had no choice but to tell her the truth.
“House prices in Chongqing are rising sharply right now. Even a down payment of 100,000 yuan isn’t enough. You should save this money for a rainy day.”
The money in Wang Qin's card was all saved up bit by bit over the years.
For her, 100,000 yuan is already a huge amount of money.
However, upon hearing Qiao Xing's words, her heart sank. "Then... what should we do?"
Although the house where Grandpa Qin used to live is still empty, Qiao Xing felt that Wang Qin definitely wouldn't move in there.
Qiao Xing thought for a moment and said to Wang Qin, "If you really plan to move out, I'll have Qin Ce help you and Xi Xi find a place to live in for now. Don't worry about the money."
Before Qiao Xing could finish speaking, Wang Qin quickly said, "No, no, I already felt bad about letting Xixi and me stay in that house for free before. If Xiao Ce comes to find another house now, I would be even more afraid to stay there."
She knew that if Qin Ce really intended to buy a house, given his status, the price would definitely not be low.
At that point, Wang Qin would be caught in a dilemma: if she gave her money, she wouldn't be able to stay there peacefully.
"Xingxing, I came to you because I'm afraid of being scammed. I wanted you to help me find an apartment. I was thinking that since it's just the two of us, Xixi, it shouldn't be too big. But I didn't expect we wouldn't have enough money. If we don't have enough money, then forget it. I'll think of something else."
In any case, she absolutely cannot accept the house that Qiao Xing offers him.
That would only make Wang Qin feel more and more sorry for Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing asked her, "What ideas can you come up with?"
Wang Qin awkwardly pinched her fingers.
Clearly, she doesn't have a better solution right now.
Qiao Xing sighed and said to Wang Qin, "You don't need to feel any guilt. Even if we buy this house, I'll pay for it for you, not Qin Ce's money. If you really want to pay it back, you can pay it back slowly when you're able to."
Qiao Xing did this because he didn't want Wang Qin to bear the burden of the mortgage.
In today's society, jobs are the most unstable thing. Nobody knows how long Wang Qin will work in that shop.
If she takes on a mortgage to buy a house worth hundreds of thousands, then her and Xixi's lives will be insecure.
Wang Qin knew that Qiao Xing was thinking of her, but she didn't know how to accept this kindness.
“Xingxing, I know you want to help me, but since I came back, you have already helped me and Xixi enough. I can’t keep taking it all for granted.”
Because of her, Qiao Xing had already caused a lot of trouble.
On several occasions, Qiao Xing was almost put in danger.
Although Qiao Xing has gradually chosen to forgive her and no longer dwell on the things that happened in the past.
But this has always been a knot in Wang Qin's heart.
The more Qiao Xing helped her, the deeper this knot in her heart became.
After a moment of silence between Wang Qin and Qiao Xing, Qiao Xing came up with a compromise.
"Why don't we rent a place first? Renting is more troublesome, but at least it will reduce the pressure."
Wang Qin hadn't considered renting a house; she had always planned to use her savings to buy one so that she and Xixi would have a home in the future.
Qiao Xing said, "Given your current situation, renting a place is the most suitable option. Xi Xi is still in junior high school, and you'll probably have to stay with her until her college entrance exam. So why not rent a place that's close to both the cake shop and the school? That way, it will be more convenient for you."
