Chapter 1185 Why Don’t You Wonder Where This Money Came From

Gu Minxing also comforted Mom: "Yeah, Mom, Big Brother is really capable, you don’t need to worry about him." She glanced up at the sky. "Have you forgotten what my brother can do?"

Hai Xue thought of her daughter insisting that her son could ride the clouds and fly to the heavens. Mm, her son was capable; she ought to be able to relax. Yet even knowing how capable her son was, her face was still full of worry.

Mengyu felt rather helpless, so she started telling them about buying the courtyard.

"Dongxing bought a two‑courtyard house just one street over. How about you and Minxing go have a look, Aunt Hai? I’ll have someone take you there."

Sure enough, the two were immediately drawn in, though a bit annoyed as well: "Dongxing bought a house and didn’t say a word to us first?"

As soon as Minxing heard that her brother had bought a courtyard, she immediately got excited: "Really? Big Brother bought a courtyard? Is it as big as this one?"

Living here was comfortable enough, but it belonged to her future sister‑in‑law. There was always that feeling of living under someone else’s roof. If they had their own courtyard, it would be much more comfortable.

"Strictly speaking, this place of mine is only a triple courtyard, but the one your brother bought is a two‑courtyard compound. It’s bigger than here, with fourteen rooms. You’ll know once you see it."

Hai Xue blurted out as soon as she heard that: "What are we doing buying such a big courtyard? There’s only a few of us in the family."

But in reality, the expression on her face was nothing but pride. Look, my son bought me a big house to live in! This is just how ordinary parents are, isn’t it!

"Great, great, let’s go take a look right now. Whatever’s missing, we’ll buy it." Minxing was really happy.

But when Hai Xue heard they were going to buy things, her face darkened a little.

She had brought over 1,000 yuan with her, but when she went to see Ye Qing, she had used that over 1,000 yuan to pay Ye Qing’s medical expenses and compensation. How could she still have money on her now?

"Buy what? Look at the time already."

Minxing checked the sky: "It’s only a little after five. It’s still a long way until dark."

Seeing Hai Xue’s expression, Mengyu immediately understood what she was thinking. Anything that money could solve wasn’t really a problem. She took out ten thousand yuan and handed it to Hai Xue: "This is Dongxing’s money that he left with me. Aunt Hai, take it and use it for now."

Hai Xue didn’t want to take it, but when she heard it was Dongxing’s money, she accepted it: "I’ll keep it for you two, and you can use it when you get married." Yet she didn’t stop to think about how much her son’s salary was—how come it didn’t even occur to her to wonder where this money came from?

Mengyu quickly said, "This is for you to use; you don’t need to keep it for us. It’s not like we’re short of this bit of money. That house looks completely empty; we’ve got to buy some things to put in it."

The paperwork for that courtyard had been completed in the morning. At noon, Granny Luo, the original owner who’d received the money, ran off with it, as if she were afraid Mengyu and the others would go back on the deal, which made a faint annoyance rise in Mengyu’s heart for no reason.

But then, remembering all the trouble she had mentioned, Mengyu felt that her behavior was actually normal. It wasn’t easy to finally get rid of such a burden; of course she would want to run as fast as she could. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

If it weren’t so hard to find a standalone, self‑contained courtyard like this, Mengyu really would have felt reluctant to buy from her.

Mengyu had Le De take the two of them to tour the courtyard that Mrs. Luo had sold.

When Gu Minxing saw that Mengyu wasn’t going along, she found it strange: "Big Sis, you’re not coming?"

"Mm, I already saw it when I bought the house, and I’ve still got something else to do—I need to swing by the Nan Family. Let Le De go with you. Le De, have a look at what else needs repairing and get someone to fix it."

Le De agreed and left with Hai Xue and her daughter.
