She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 983 - 850: Super Star 24 (Part 2)

Her current computer setup is not adequate; it doesn’t meet the standards she wants for hacking. Once she gets the information, she’ll see if this woman is worth her expending the effort.

She’s not interested in how this woman tricks the Hua Family members. Rather than taking revenge on Hua Guoqiang, she would prefer to use these things to get something substantial from her, like money. Money is indeed good, especially since it was originally hers—money her mom exchanged her life for.

Since she can’t rely on her dad, she might as well count on this money.

In the real world, one cannot avoid a bit of vulgarity. Although money isn’t everything, you absolutely cannot lack it.

With Ning Hao not back yet, Hua Yan started doing laundry, cleaned the house, and then went to clean the Ning Family’s place as well. The clothes in the bathroom were washed too. Around five or six in the evening, Ning Hao finally returned. The enthusiastic Zhao Family prepared a lot of local specialties and daily essentials like rice, flour, and oil, all prepared by the Grandparents in the countryside. Uncle Zhao directly brought them to Hua Yan, knowing they all usually eat here as there’s no cooking on the other side.

She wanted to keep Uncle Zhao for dinner, but he needed to rush home since he has work the next day. Hua Yan ended up packing twenty jin of braised beef that was freshly prepared, placing it into a large storage container, and also poured the sauce into it.

"Just stew it for another hour or so when you get home, and it’s ready to eat."

Uncle Zhao naturally knew from Ning Hao that she was a great cook, so he didn’t stand on ceremony and left with the storage container. The siblings saw him off in the underground parking lot, watching him leave.

Returning home, Ning Hao lounged on the sofa like a spoiled child: "Ah, it feels so good to be home. Sis, I really missed you these past three days."

Hua Yan glanced back at F and M, lying on the ground with a smile in their eyes, and couldn’t help but gently flick his forehead. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"You ungrateful little thing, look at these vegetables, fruits, rice, flour, oil, and specialties. Each one is filled with your grandparents’ love for you. Also, last week, your grandparents sent you dried mushrooms, marinated duck eggs, and vacuum-packed chicken with ice packs. Do you think it’s easy for them to pack everything nicely and send it over? It’s all full of love, a family bond you can’t buy with money, don’t be unaware of your blessings."

Ning Hao hung his head after being scolded: "Got it, sis. I was just speaking off the cuff. I know they all love and care about me."

"Alright, alright, no one’s blaming you. Let’s have dinner and tell me what you’ve been up to these past few days!"

After a warm and cozy dinner, Ning Hao spent another hour on his homework, finally finishing his holiday assignments. Seeing the time, Hua Yan decided to take him and F and M back home. Since they had been running wild in the countryside, they were dirty, but she couldn’t help with the bath. So, she stood outside the bathroom, waiting for Ning Hao to bathe them and bring them out, then used a hairdryer on them. Actually, A-Yi was okay with it, but Uncle was more resistant to her, haha. She understood, so she only took care of A-Yi and didn’t bother with Uncle. After Ning Hao washed up, she helped F clean and dry.

"Sis, did you do my laundry and clean the house?" Initially, he hadn’t noticed, but after his bath, he found that his sister had already done everything when he was about to do his dirty laundry.

"I guessed you’d be back late, so I helped out this time. Next time, be quicker and beat me to it. Come on, let’s not be strangers. You’re tired from traveling, and I should head back, organize tomorrow’s class schedule, and don’t forget to wear your uniform. I’m leaving now. Come over early tomorrow."

Returning home, Hua Yan started the first Chapter of her third serialized book.

In May, she participated in English and Chinese competitions, and the math competition was after the finals, all held in Beijing, giving her a significant advantage.

Piano lessons weren’t scheduled during the holidays because the teacher was off during May Day, but she didn’t forget about her weekend part-time job. If she couldn’t make it, she needed to call in advance to let them find a substitute.

Ning Hao was learning the drum set and had already passed Level 6, which was quite a good result.

Besides that, he also signed up for basketball and swimming classes. He didn’t need tutoring for his specialized courses since he was already in the top three of his class.

With Hua Yan giving him private English lessons, he didn’t need any additional help. All in all, with Hua Yan around, this guy saved quite a bit of money.

After ventilating an empty house for a month, Hua Yan’s beautifully renovated new house became very popular among advanced professionals. The three homes were rented out at two thousand five hundred yuan after May Day. They required a deposit of five thousand yuan with three months’ rent paid upfront. When Hua Yan went to sign the contracts with them, the tenants were stunned and repeatedly expressed how extraordinary the worlds of wealthy people are, realizing they weren’t as accomplished as a young person at twenty-five or twenty-six.

All the hardware in her three houses, such as air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, TVs, beds, sofas, cabinets, kitchens, and bathrooms, were brand-new and perfectly matched. So, she increased the requirement from one month’s deposit to a five thousand yuan deposit with three months’ rent paid upfront. The water, electricity, gas, network, and property fees were the tenants’ responsibilities. The benefit of having an agent was that the contracts were legitimate, and no one would cheat the others.

The three houses were rented out within a week or so, so in May alone, the income from rent and deposits amounted to 37,500 yuan.

This meant she no longer had to worry about Taoli Garden. The remaining balance for the renovated house was fully paid after the rental.

Zidong Garden was initially scheduled for handover by the end of the year, but suddenly, a text message said it was delayed until before May Day in 2014. The penalty would be compensated as the property’s first year’s fee, which seemed fair and reasonable.
