The house was bought, and Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng returned to the hospital. Mu Qiancheng had to go back to the military unit that night, so he made sure to inform Father Jiang.
Father Jiang, upon hearing that Mu Qiancheng was leaving, didn’t try to keep him. He was already very grateful that Mu Qiancheng could take leave to accompany him for the surgery. How could he hold him up from his work any further?
Mu Qiancheng left after having dinner, and Jiang Xue, after seeing Mu Qiancheng off, went to the hospital to take over from Mrs. Jiang, preparing to stay the night at the hospital.
However, Mrs. Jiang was adamant about not letting Jiang Xue stay, saying it wouldn’t be convenient for her. Yesterday, with Mu Qiancheng there, it wasn’t a problem if Father Jiang needed assistance. But now that Mu Qiancheng had left, she felt uneasy with Jiang Xue being there alone.
In the end, Jiang Xue had no choice but to go back and rest.
However, before leaving, she informed her parents, "Dad, Mom, I’ve already bought the house. I’ll go get all the things ready tomorrow, and once Dad is discharged, we’ll move directly into the new home."
"Xue’er, what did you say?" Mrs. Jiang couldn’t believe her ears. Although Jiang Xue had mentioned wanting to buy a house, she thought it would take a long time.
Never did she expect that she had bought it so quickly.
Father Jiang gave Jiang Xue a deep look and asked, "Did you buy it together with Qiancheng this afternoon?"
"Did he have any objections to us buying a house?"
"No, not at all. When I mentioned wanting to help you buy a house, he was all in favor."
"Xue’er, your parents-in-law don’t know you bought us a house, do they?"
"I haven’t told them yet."
"Child, how could you not tell them? What if they disagree or have issues? Wouldn’t it be difficult for you later on in the Mu Family?" Mrs. Jiang said with concern. Although the elderly of the Mu Family are good to Jiang Xue now, buying a house is a big deal and involves a lot of money.
What if, in the future, they are unhappy with Jiang Xue at home because they disagree?
"Mom, don’t worry. I not only bought a house for you but also for them, so they shouldn’t have any issues."
"What, you, you bought one for them as well?" Father Jiang looked at Jiang Xue in surprise, thinking she had only bought one house. He assumed his daughter wanted them to live with her. He was worried about the in-laws having opinions.
But unexpectedly, she bought more than one. A single house costs hundreds of thousands, and buying two would cost over three hundred thousand. Where did she get so much money from?
Mrs. Jiang was too shocked to speak, staring blankly at Jiang Xue, unable to respond for a long time.
"Xue’er, be honest with me, how many houses did you buy in total?" Father Jiang looked at Jiang Xue and asked seriously.
Even he now had some doubts about the legitimacy of Jiang Xue’s money. Previously, Jiang Xue told them that she had sold her calligraphy and earned money. But now, buying a house has cost hundreds of thousands so suddenly, what kind of calligraphy could earn so much money?
"What?" Father Jiang thought Jiang Xue had bought at most two houses, but now she told them she bought three. Adding on his surgery expenses, the total was over half a million.
Half a million, they had never seen that much money in their lifetime.
"Xue’er, how do you have so much money?" Mrs. Jiang became worried again, as this was no small amount. Such a large sum is something many people couldn’t earn over multiple lifetimes.
"Mom, didn’t I tell you? I made money from selling calligraphy."
"How could that be possible? Is your calligraphy made of gold? Can it sell for so much?" Not just Mrs. Jiang, but Father Jiang also found it hard to believe.
