Xia Chujian understood and said with a smile, "Then let's go to the East District to look at houses? By the way, how much money do you have left?"
Ping Qiong gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go ask my mother. I gave her... 800,000 yesterday."
Xia Chujian: “…”
But when she thought about the fact that she had transferred the nearly one million to her aunt, she felt relieved.
We are all family. If I need money, my aunt will not refuse to give it to me.
As a result, after Ping Qiong talked to her mother, she lost all her energy and spirit. Xia Chujian then realized that there is a difference between relatives.
Ping Qiong said with a dull face, "My mother said that since we have many brothers and sisters at home, we can't spend money recklessly. If I want to buy a house, I will go out and earn more money and buy one for my brother..."
Xia Chujian has always been a person who respects me one inch, and I will respect you one inch as well.
If you don't respect me, don't expect me to respect you.
So when she heard what Ping Qiong's mother said, she immediately said, "Sister Cai, how much do you have left?"
Ping Qiong said, "There are only 200,000 left."
Xia Chujian suggested, "Let's hurry Captain Ye up and get him to collect the bounty from the Hunting List. You can get 400,000, and with that, we'll have 600,000 in total. We can buy a well-appointed, two-bedroom apartment in a good location in the East District. Why not buy it right away and put your own name on it? Don't let your mother know..."
Ping Qiong's mind was still echoing with her mother's sharp scolding.
For so many years, from childhood to adulthood, she has been the eldest in the family, so all the food has to be given to her younger brothers and sisters first, and only the leftovers from them are hers.
After graduating from high school, she worked like a slave to earn money to support her family.
But the money she earned had nothing to do with her in her mother's words.
Even if it's a clay figure, it will arouse the earthiness...
Ping Qiong was also stimulated by Xia Chujian's feat of "buying a house" today. Since she had this idea in mind, she decided to buy one for herself.
Just like Xia Chujian said, it’s not like we can’t afford it.
Xia Chujian was a practical man, so he immediately contacted the real estate agent and asked to go to the community in the East District to look at houses.
Although it is still the New Year holiday, it has been a week since New Year's Eve.
Except for government agencies, hospitals and banks, most other companies have started working.
The real estate agent that Xia Chujian contacted was someone he found randomly on Starnet.
She first looked for a large and formal real estate agency, and then chose a local agent with a high rating from the photos listed online.
She called and the call was picked up quickly.
When they heard that we were going to view a house, they agreed very readily.
The two parties agreed to meet at the entrance of a high-end residential complex in the East District in two hours.
The agent claimed that he would wear a black coat and formal suit, a black exotic animal fur hat, and carry a backpack with "Jiahao Agency" written on it.
After making an appointment to show Ping Qiong the house, both of them were very happy and planned to find a restaurant for a good meal.
At this time, it is too early to have lunch, but a little late to have breakfast.
Fortunately, I found a noodle shop that is open 24 hours a day and only serves noodles for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Ping Qiong said, "I haven't had breakfast yet."
Xia Chujian waved: "Then let's go have breakfast."
Although she had already had breakfast, it did not prevent her from having a second breakfast with Ping Qiong.
In such a cold winter, if you don’t eat more, you will not be able to withstand the low temperature of minus 30 or 40 degrees Celsius.
The restaurant is very small, with only about 15 square meters of space and six tables.
At 9:30 in the morning, the store was full of people.
Soon, the smell of hot food wafted from the restaurant's kitchen and drifted all the way to the restaurant's front door.
Many ragged children came over after smelling the smell.
No one dared to go in, so they just lay at the door and sniffed hard, as if the more fragrance they smelled, the more full they would be.
Xia Chujian turned her head away with a bit of reluctance.
Ping Qiong sat next to Xia Chujian and said, "They should all be orphans. A disciplinary officer should come and take them to the imperial orphanage soon."
As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, two Correctional Services Department patrol cars descended from the sky.
Through the glass windows of the restaurant, they saw several uniformed correctional officers getting off the speeding car, cursing and throwing the children one by one into the patrol speeding car like cargo.
Suddenly, a male corrections officer threw another child off the patrol car, saying with a look of disgust, "Your vital signs are almost failing. The orphanage won't accept children like you. It would be a waste of food if you went there."
The child looked to be no more than two or three years old, very thin and small, and seemed unable to even stand steadily.
He was covered in a pitch-black blanket and his face was dirty, so it was impossible to tell what he looked like. Only his eyes were clearly black and white.
Although he was treated so roughly, he did not show any anger or resistance, nor any fear or anger. He just opened his big, pure and innocent eyes, looked up quietly, and watched the Correctional Service's patrol car take the group of homeless children away.
Xia Chujian hated this kind of look the most.
She opened the restaurant's heated door and walked out.
"Here you go." She took out a bottle of low-grade nutrient solution from her arms and stuffed it into the child's hand.
The child's breath was indeed very weak, and it seemed that he would leave this world at any moment.
But after Xia Chujian stuffed him a bottle of nutrient solution, light appeared in his eyes.
He stared at Xia Chujian closely, his eyes wet, like a little bird that had just opened its eyes to the world, as if he wanted to remember her appearance firmly in his mind.
