810 Choosing a Room

“Why would I lie to you? I can only raise 150,000 dollars now. I’m not lying to you,” He Ning said calmly.

Qiao Mei was skeptical. However, He Ning had spent a lot of money to save He Wei and He Li, and also given Zhou Hua a big sum of money earlier. He had also paid up when he bought her ginsengs previously. In total, he had spent more than 500,000 dollars. In this era, there were not many families who could fork out so much money.

In any case, 150,000 dollars was definitely enough to buy the houses and furniture. She would let He Ning pay her back slowly. It was not as if she did not charge interest.

“Alright, get someone to send the money to me tonight.” Qiao Mei hung up after saying that.

Qiao Mei guessed that even if she asked He Ning to send someone over, he would definitely be the one to deliver the money personally in the end. After all, he would not miss out on any chance to ask for free food.

However, contrary to what Qiao Mei had guessed, He Ning did not make the trip personally. Instead, he asked Huo Gao to hand the money to Qiao Mei. Huo Gao was also deeply curious about why he did that and felt that it was not in line with He Ning’s usual style.

He Ning said enigmatically, “This is called making the enemy let down their guard.”

He knew very well that if he still shamelessly went to Qiao Mei’s place to freeload on food and drinks, there would not be a next time.

The next day, Xia Wen brought the owners of the two houses to Qiao Mei’s place early in the morning. The procedures were completed very quickly and the process was very smooth. At this time, there was no rule on how many houses a person could buy. As long as one had money, one could buy as many houses as one wanted.

No one suspected anything. After all, the Xia family was a prominent and well-to-done family and it was not a strange thing for them to be able to fork out 40,000 dollars. Moreover, they did not explain why they suddenly wanted to buy the houses. Perhaps it was to give one to each of the three children in the family?

The next step was to renovate the houses. Qiao Mei hired someone to help clean up the house and sell the unusable furniture, as well as to repair the damaged parts in the houses.

These two houses had been in disrepair for a long time. Xia Wen found a professional painter to repaint them and the houses looked much brighter after that. The furniture was all ready-made ones bought at the mall. He did not know what Li Gui liked so he bought them according to Qiao Mei’s preferences.

Qiao Mei’s pregnant stomach was getting too big for her to move around. Xia He was the one who kept an eye on the renovation and clearance works done by the professionals. It took three full days for them to finish cleaning up.

Li Gui and the four children moved to the new house happily. The distance between this house and Qiao Mei’s house was the same as when they were in the village. They now knew they had to avoid arousing suspicion. Recently, there had been quite a lot of gossip in the alley and they had all heard some of it.

Although they liked living with Qiao Mei, they still had to keep a distance from her.

“Which room do you like?” Qiao Mei stood in the courtyard and asked the four children.

Zhang Miao sat in the wheelchair and looked at Qiao Mei in confusion. “Elder sister, don’t we live together?”

When they were in the village, they had always slept on the same brick bed as Li Gui and had never been separated. Moreover, they were not allowed to like or dislike anything. They could only use whatever they were given and could not ask for anything they did not have.

“You’re all getting older and should have your own s.p.a.ce. Everyone gets their own room. The two rooms on the left belong to Zhang Wei and Zhang Chao, and the two rooms on the right belong to Zhang Miao and Zhang Qin. You can stay in whichever room you like. Everything inside is the same,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

Zhang Miao was a little disappointed. That meant she could not sleep with Zhang Qin anymore. She had never slept separately from Zhang Qin in her life. However, Zhang Wei was very happy. He yearned to have his own s.p.a.ce.

This was the difference in mentality between the older and younger children.

The children all returned to their respective rooms to sort out their things. Each room had a huge bookcase, a table with a matching chair, a big closet and a double bed. They could add their own things in the future.

“Mei Mei, I’ll definitely pay you rent for this house. I’ll… give you 100 dollars a month, is that alright? When I have more money in the future, I’ll give you more,” Li Gui said to Qiao Mei.

They had just arrived in the capital and did not know the local prices at all. Moreover, Li Gui had not found a suitable job yet. Back in the village, the four children could go up the mountains to pick wild vegetables to help subsidize the family’s expenses. Now that they were in a place with busy traffic and with the children still so young, she did not dare to let them go out alone.
