It seems right, Jian Zhiqing is an extremely intelligent person; the moment Qin Xiangnuan heard him, she understood that with an increasing population, housing indeed poses a significant problem, and moreover, unknown to her, the so-called housing issue is far more terrifying than she had imagined.
Especially in Capital City, where housing prices are outrageously high, they are almost worth their weight in gold.
Jian Zhiqing has already decided to spend his money to buy a Siheyuan similar to Qin Xiangnuan’s, feeling that living there is more comfortable and grounded.
"Do you want to buy another one?" asked Jian Zhiqing to Qin Xiangnuan, indicating if she wished to do so, he still had some money on hand, which should be enough.
"Me?" Qin Xiangnuan took a bite of her food, considering the issue herself, wondering if she should save up to buy another one. But she felt it wasn’t necessary; what she had was enough, and she only needed to buy one for her brother later on.
"Hmm, not buying another one?" Jian Zhiqing arched his eyebrow, not speaking, curious if she was willing or not.
"I have a place to live," reconciled Qin Xiangnuan, as she picked up her chopsticks and took some more vegetables into her bowl.
Jian Zhiqing was listening.
"Fullness leads to loss."
Qin Xiangnuan herself didn’t know why she spoke those words, but she felt that ever since her rebirth, she had special impressions; the system would unlock after she did good deeds, and her Granny also felt better after helping Granny Hua.
Some things can be coveted, while others must not be.
The way of heaven always seeks a balance.
In her last life, she endured many hardships; this life, however, rewarded her with a different destiny.
"You little girl..." Jian Zhiqing stroked the top of Qin Xiangnuan’s head.
And with that thought in mind, he began to inquire if there were any suitable Siheyuans for sale.
A few days later, Jian Zhiqing took Qin Xiangnuan to an ancient dwelling area. This place was previously a renowned affluent district in Capital City and was also considered a cultural heritage site, so the government wouldn’t forcefully demolish it. Moreover, housing prices here had already become exorbitant in the future—no, they were beyond exorbitant, unattainable even with all the money in the world. Soon, major highways and overpasses would be constructed here, along with large malls, schools, hospitals, and such. It was a place where anything one could not imagine simply hadn’t happened yet.
"Brother Jian, are you planning to buy here?" Qin Xiangnuan gently touched the vermilion lacquered gate in front of her, etched with the marks of time—much larger and of course, more expensive than hers.
"Mhm, what do you think?" Jian Zhiqing opened the door, letting Qin Xiangnuan enter. "Perfect timing, the family who owns this has been living out of town. I heard they are moving away, and keeping the old house around is useless. One hundred thousand yuan, how is that?"
"One hundred thousand?" Qin Xiangnuan swallowed hard, that was incredibly... incredibly cheap.
"How is it, do you like it?" Jian Zhiqing was very satisfied with the house and was now waiting for Qin Xiangnuan’s opinion.
Qin Xiangnuan nodded vigorously, "Yes, I like it," she truly loved it. Such a Siheyuan, if placed in modern times, how much would it cost to afford living in it? A main house and countless other small rooms; even if it wasn’t for her own use, renting it out could bring in substantial money. Moreover, it could house a large family for generations, more than sufficient for four or five generations to live under the same roof.
"Glad you like it," Jian Zhiqing left a meaningful remark and continued to show her around the house.
But Qin Xiangnuan’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly concealed her surplus thoughts. Right, don’t overthink it, and there’s no need to; sometimes, overthinking just adds unnecessary trouble.
