After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Si Mochen said, "If we have time later, let's go buy a house."
Xia Zhichu was just about to say that he had time, after all, they should have a home together after getting married, and they couldn't rent a house all their lives, but suddenly he remembered that the rent seemed to have been paid a month ago, and if he moved out now, he would lose a lot of money.
Besides, she simply couldn't afford to buy a house.
She wasn't sure about Si Mochen's family situation, so she took the initiative to suggest, "I think we can look at houses first, but don't rush to buy. After all, the housing prices in Jincheng are too high. Even if the down payment is 30%, it will cost over a million."
"I don't have a job and no savings right now, so I can't help with the down payment. So I thought, let's rent a place for the year. My house has already been paid for a year, so you can save rent if you move in."
"Besides, we are in a secret marriage now, so it is difficult to put our names on the property deed. So it would be more appropriate to rent a house first. This can avoid us separating in the future due to incompatibility and avoid property disputes."
No matter how good the relationship with Shen Liang was in the past, didn't it end up in a mess?
Xia Zhichu remarried to prove to Shen Liang that she could live well without him.
As for Si Mochen's appearance, it was an accident.
Now that they were married, she would manage the marriage well and wouldn't let Si Mochen suffer any loss. After all, they were old classmates, so even if they parted ways in the future, it wouldn't be too ugly.
Si Mochen was a little surprised that she would consider so much.
Furthermore, with his financial ability, he can pay for a house in full.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xia Zhichu thought he was unwilling to rent a house, so he said, "Of course, if you are embarrassed, then I..."
"Okay, I'll follow your instructions."
He had just returned to China and needed his own space. It was inconvenient for him to live with his family. Since Xia Zhichu had some concerns, he would respect her choice.
"Then I'll go home and clean up now."
I used to live alone as I pleased, and I've been busy with blind dates this month, so I haven't cleaned up the house properly. If I don't make some space, such a small house will not be able to accommodate two people.
She didn't know if Si Mochen had a lot of luggage. If there wasn't enough space, she would have to convert the balcony into a storage room.
Si Mochen nodded and said, "I'll take you back first and then have someone bring your luggage over."
Xia Zhichu said okay, and the two of them approached the car.
It was not until this moment that Xia Zhichu discovered that the car Si Mochen was driving was actually an Audi A8.
She casually asked, "Yours?"
Although she didn't care about Si Mochen's family background, a car like this was not something that ordinary people could afford.
Xia Zhichu thought that since they had already obtained the marriage certificate, it was necessary to get to know her husband better.
"Borrowed."
Xia Zhichu said "oh", but felt relieved in his heart.
Fortunately, it was borrowed, otherwise she would really feel that she had taken advantage of Si Mochen.
"By the way, you were abroad before. What did you do for a living?"
Si Mochen clearly noticed her expression. He was just testing her, but he didn't expect her to show such relief.
It seems that the image of being a second marriage has made her lack confidence.
He looked at Xia Zhichu and said, "I work in a big company, and my salary is not low. If you don't want to work in the future, that's fine. I can support you..."
"I don't need you to support me, I will go to work!" Xia Zhichu interrupted him before he could finish.
Her marriage with Shen Liang ended in divorce because they had no financial income.
With the previous experience as a lesson, how could she continue to be a housewife and wait to be despised?
"It's fine if you want to go to work. I won't interfere with your right to choose."
Si Mochen said this as he bent down to help her open the car door. Xia Zhichu said thank you and sat in the passenger seat.
After closing the car door, Si Mochen returned to the driver's seat, stepped on the accelerator and drove towards Xia Zhichu's rental house.
After sending her home, Si Mochen took a phone call and left.
Not long after, someone brought his luggage over.
Xia Zhichu originally wanted to help clean up, but he was afraid of touching other people's things, so he didn't move in the end.
But Si Mochen had a lot of things, three suitcases alone, and some books were also being carried up one after another.
Xia Zhichu tidied up the guest room before pulling the suitcase in.
The two of them had just gotten their marriage certificate, so they shouldn't be sleeping in the same bed yet. Of course, she had also thought that if Si Mochen wanted to sleep with her, the guest room would be converted into a study.
In order to make the rental house feel like home, Xia Zhichu felt it necessary to decorate it again.
It was almost noon, and she picked up her bag from the sofa and prepared to go to the supermarket downstairs to buy some vegetables and men's daily necessities.
I don’t know if it’s because he sold himself, but Xia Zhichu was in a particularly good mood.
Even the security guard in the community asked her curiously what good news she had when he saw her.
Xia Zhichu smiled and said nothing. Since they had agreed to a secret marriage, she shouldn't reveal her relationship with Si Mochen.
After all, people talk a lot, and if one person knows something, it might spread throughout the entire community within a few days.
When they arrived at the supermarket, Xia Zhichu first went to the daily necessities area to buy some daily necessities for Si Mochen.
She lived alone before, and the only things in the house were hers. Not only did she have to buy daily necessities, but she also had to buy many things from scratch.
She stood in front of a row of men's slippers, recalling the size of Si Mochen's feet, and finally chose size 44.
After completing all the shopping, she pushed the shopping cart to prepare the ingredients for lunch.
After this trip, the entire shopping cart was full.
When the cashier announced the price, Xia Zhichu was still shocked.
It cost more than a thousand yuan.
When they divorced, because the house was her premarital property and she had no source of income, she only took a suitcase with her when she left.
The money in the card was saved from her part-time job while in school, and she has been living frugally ever since.
After paying the money, Xia Zhichu left with three big bags.
There wasn't much money left, and she didn't want Si Mochen to support her, so she had to find a job as soon as possible so she could have some financial income.
It was already twelve o'clock noon when I got home.
When Xia Zhichu opened the door, she found that Si Mochen had returned.
"Si Mochen, help me carry my things!" Xia Zhichu put the bag on the ground and shook his sore arms.
Si Mochen heard the sound and walked out of the guest room. He glanced at the things she bought and frowned slightly. "Are all these things for me?"
Xia Zhichu nodded and said, "The only things at home are mine. I went downstairs to buy groceries and prepared them for you."
Si Mochen didn't say anything. He bent down, took out the receipt from his bag, glanced at it, and then took out a card from his pocket and handed it to her. "From now on, I will pay for all the expenses of the family."
After saying that, he carried the bag into the kitchen.
Xia Zhichu followed him and returned the bank card to him. "No need. I'll look for a job tomorrow and I'll pay for half of the family's living expenses."
