Jiang Xue thought for a moment and suddenly had an idea to divert his attention. So, she said to Father Jiang: "Dad, what kind of house do you like?"
"What’s with you suddenly talking about houses?" Mrs. Jiang looked at her daughter, noticing the topic had shifted, not knowing what to say.
They were clearly talking about the surgery, so how did the conversation turn to houses in the blink of an eye?
It’s not that she said it, but considering the family’s current situation, just being able to pay off the previous debts would be good enough. How could they dare to think about houses?
Besides, they already had a house to live in. Even though it’s a bit old, it could at least last for a few decades.
"Why can’t we talk about it?" Jiang Xue turned to look at her mother and said, "Last time I told Dad I wanted to buy a house in the city and then bring you both to live with me. So now, I want to ask what kind of house you want or how you’d like to decorate our new home."
"What, buy a house in the city? Are you crazy?" Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Xue in shock, asking, "Do you know how much money it costs to buy a house in the city? Even if you sold both me and your dad, you couldn’t come up with the money."
"Mom, look at what you’re saying. I’m not crazy, nor do I ever think about selling you and Dad. And besides, I’ve always been filial to you both, so how could I sell you?"
"Then why are you talking about buying a house in the city, just teasing me and your dad?" Mrs. Jiang gave Jiang Xue a glare. Buying a house in the city would be wonderful, but it’s not something you can just talk about. It requires money, and a large sum, at that.
Although Jiang Xue mentioned making some money last time, Father Jiang’s surgery would cost tens of thousands, so where would any money be left?
At this moment, Mrs. Jiang was completely unaware that the money Jiang Xue had was more than just tens of thousands; it was hundreds of thousands.
"Mom, why don’t you believe me? I said I’ll buy a house for sure."
"Really?" Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Xue with skepticism, asking, "Where did you get so much money? Jiang Xue, I’m telling you, you absolutely cannot do anything illegal or against the rules. Otherwise, I won’t acknowledge you as my daughter."
Seeing Mrs. Jiang’s serious expression, Jiang Xue felt a bit speechless and said, "Mom, look at what you’re saying. Do you really not trust your daughter? Yes, maybe I used to be a bit of a slacker, but didn’t you know that even when I slacked off, my academic performance was still outstanding?"
"So, rest assured, the money I earned is absolutely clean."
"That’s more like it." Mrs. Jiang, hearing this, finally nodded in satisfaction. There’s no denying that Jiang Xue’s grades were indeed excellent. If it weren’t for her father’s illness, Jiang Xue definitely had the potential to be a university student.
It’s just a pity that her father fell ill, and being a woman without much ability, she had no choice but to drop out and get married.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Jiang felt particularly sorry for Jiang Xue. So, regarding Jiang Xue wanting to buy a house for her and her father, whether true or not, she felt quite comforted.
However, she could not accept it. Because they had already let Jiang Xue down as parents, how could they still accept her house? Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel⟡fire.net
So, she looked at Jiang Xue and earnestly said again: "Xue’er, since you have money and want to buy a house, I won’t stop you. But buying one for me and your dad is unnecessary, as we can’t help you much and must not hold you back."
