She Only Cares About Cultivation

As she continued speaking, she realized both Aunt and she have sons and couldn’t help but feel a bit awkward.

"Aunt, do you think I’ll be a good mother-in-law in the future?"

Aunt Chen laughed incredulously: "You’re still so young, and you’re already thinking about this? It’s me who should be worried, right?"

"What happened? Doesn’t Xiao Deng have a girlfriend already?"

Aunt shook her head, "Actually, the betrothal gift and all that are easy to talk about, but when it comes to the house, I do have one in Wuhan which I can directly transfer to them. But the girl’s family actually demands a house in Beijing, which is beyond difficult. It’s something we haven’t even thought about. Recently, their family has shown some distaste for our single-parent family, and even suggested selling my house in Wuhan, combining resources, and buying a small property for the young couple. Even a small property would be eight, nine, or even ten thousand yuan per square meter, right? A fifty-square-meter place would be five million yuan, plus renovations, six million. But the house in Wuhan can only sell for two hundred thousand at most. Maybe this two hundred thousand would even need to include my savings. Isn’t this going to kill me? After all, isn’t Wuhan also a new first-tier city?"

Actually, situations like Aunt Chen’s are very common. Although the girl’s family isn’t originally from Beijing, they are from the Tongzhou area, which, geographically, is sure to be better than Wuhan, as they’ve been included in Beijing’s jurisdiction. They haven’t even insisted on buying in one of the most expensive districts. Even if they buy in Tongzhou...

Qi Qi felt a bit sympathetic for the following words. Aunt Chen has only this one son. Selling the house in Wuhan and buying a house near her daughter-in-law’s family would make it seem like her son is a live-in son-in-law. It’s a great gain for them, but for Aunt Chen? She’s getting old, where will she go to retire?

As an outsider, she really didn’t know how to advise. Looking at Aunt, it seems she has to follow her son; it’s quite sorrowful, honestly.

The situation she faces involves two sons. She’s better off than Aunt Chen in the sense that she has substantial financial resources, so she wouldn’t give her son a chance to sweep them out of the house, nor would she ever live with the daughter-in-law. She would prepare the matrimonial house, paying in full, without involving the daughter-in-law, as these are premarital assets. After all, a house in Beijing is something some people strive their whole lives for and never obtain. If they choose to take a loan, the young couple would pay it back, whether to add names or not has nothing to do with her. They can manage it however they want.

Her only requirement for her son’s future spouse is ’matching family backgrounds.’ Only when the two families match in strength can all kinds of calculations and schemes be avoided.

She doesn’t want the couple to marry and end up looking like poverty alleviation workers.

The same applies to marrying off her daughter. She’s already planned it out as well. For the latter half of her life, she’ll prepare a house for each of the three children. Beyond that, they’ll have to rely on their own efforts!

After being discharged from the hospital, Qi Qi quickly got back into work. It took almost a month, but she finally managed to settle this case.

The defendant who damaged her vehicle, causing four of them to fall into the water, was sued by them too, and compensated one million yuan. The other three got twenty thousand each, while she got forty thousand because she also lost a car.

Since the repair costs were going to be tens of thousands, Qi Qi calculated that it wouldn’t be worth it and simply sold it for a cheaper price, gaining a profit of 30,000 yuan.

With the victory of this case, the company gave the team a commission, which was one hundred thousand, but the other three got ten thousand each, while she herself received 700,000. After all, who else but she could have lost a car?

Initially, she thought, since the defendant had already compensated, the company surely wouldn’t pay. The one million was also their team’s deserved award, unrelated to the company.

Who would have thought the boss didn’t reward a car, but instead rewarded her with a car license quota? Honestly, when she learned about this benefit, she was dumbfounded at that moment. After all, she waited for two years without even touching the edge of the quota, and now it unexpectedly fell from the sky, crashing down?

Because the car quota was highly scarce, the boss went through back channels to get it for her, aside from how many favors might have been exchanged, or how much money might have been given, just this goodwill was enough for her to pledge unwavering loyalty to them.

So, in order to show her importance for this car, she spent one million yuan on an SUV and another hundred thousand on a new energy vehicle for Aunt, because Aunt needed to pick up and drop off the kids, having a vehicle is much more convenient. Calculating this way, her 1.13 million yuan was well spent down to the last penny.

After getting the vehicle, Qi Qi finally felt she truly integrated into Beijing, becoming a solid local.

Three years later, ten-year-old Qi Peng, with his exceptional street dance talent, was sent by Qi Qi using her industry connections to be a trainee in H Country. From then on, his challenging journey of studying abroad began...
