The family’s total savings are only a few hundred thousand yuan.
Chen Ru estimated that Wen Ying's admission to a provincial key university would cost at least 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, leaving her with a limited savings for buying a house in Chengdu. Of course, Chen Li said she could lend her money if she was short on cash, but Chen Ru didn't want to ask Chen Li for help.
Chen Ru works in a bank and is somewhat sensitive to investment. The housing prices in Chengdu have doubled in the past two years. If you don’t buy now, you won’t be able to afford it in the future.
Buying a car was Grandma Wen Ying's obsession, and Chen Ru had never thought about it.
Although Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong have bought a house in Rongcheng, they will not live there. But when others are trying to buy a house, she and Wen Dongrong will not buy one. If the house prices continue to rise in the future, they can only watch others make money.
As time went by, the family's assets became much larger than others, and Chen Ru couldn't accept it!
Wen Dongrong didn't say he would buy it, nor did he say he wouldn't buy it. He said vaguely, "Let's talk about it after we've settled Wen Ying's schooling. There's no shortage of houses to sell in Rongcheng."
That's true.
The top priority now is to get Wen Ying admitted to a provincial key school.
What future can you achieve by studying in high school in a small place?
Wen Dongrong and I were doing pretty well, and Wen Ying was their daughter, so she had to be more successful than them.
Not to mention comparing with others, at least I can't be worse than Wen Kai!
Perhaps Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong had overprepared things. The next morning, before the couple even left, Grandma Wen came knocking on the door. As soon as she entered the room, she asked her son and daughter-in-law if they were going to Chengdu.
"I heard from others that we can check the grades today, right? Wen Ying is a girl, are you really going to spend so much money to send her to study in the provincial capital? I see that Wen Kai didn't go to the provincial capital to study either, and the teacher said he can get into a key university."
Grandma Wen felt heartbroken when she thought of Chen Ru showing her the numbers with her hands in the car.
The old lady kept bringing up things that were irrelevant to her, which hurt Chen Ru's heart. Even Wen Dongrong, a filial son, couldn't help but feel dissatisfied.
"Mom, can you please not make things difficult for us this early in the morning? Chen Ru and I are going to Rongcheng to meet with the teacher from the provincial key university. If you're free, go back first. We can talk about anything after we get back from Rongcheng."
Grandma Wen muttered a few words, but Chen Ru didn't hear clearly. The old lady took out a cloth bag and stuffed all the money rolled up in the bag into Chen Ru's hands while she was looking surprised. "I told you not to spend too much money on girls, but you didn't listen. I can't persuade you. I've prepared red envelopes for each of my grandchildren's weddings, and now I'm giving you Wen Ying's portion in advance. You can decide how to spend it!"
