Chapter 2072: Chapter 2073: Elderly Woman Reborn at 70 Reforming Ungrateful Children 104

The two brothers of the Wei Family were stunned to see Wei Xuan appear in front of them.

"Wei Xuan, what are you doing here?" Despite the tense relationship between Wei Jiang and Wei He over the house, they were genuinely surprised.

But now seeing Wei Xuan, the two of them looked at each other. Today was a day off, and they didn’t think Wei Xuan came here for work.

"I bought a house here." Wei Xuan had just bought a house and was taking advantage of the weekend to clean up, waiting to rent it out later.

Unexpectedly, she would encounter the Wei Family here. Ever since they signed the disconnection agreement that year, even if they met on the street, they’d pretend not to see each other.

What? Everyone in the Wei Family, including Zhang Yu, was shocked. Zhang Yu couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly, the butterfly effect was just too great. Back then, the original had considerable help from their family, but Wei Xuan and her husband never bought a house, instead, they crammed into a small house with the Gao Family.

How is it that without the Wei Family’s help now, Wei Xuan bought a house instead?

Li Juan was stunned to hear that the Wei Xuan, who once needed family support, had actually bought a house, "Wei Xuan, you actually, actually bought a house."

Zhang Yu and Old Li bought a house, and although Li Juan didn’t believe it, she still tolerated it, given their good income. But she never thought that even Wei Xuan had bought a house. What was going on?

"Yeah, I’ve been living and eating at my workplace these years, so I didn’t need to rent or buy clothes." Wei Xuan had never been afraid of Li Juan, and now she was fearless, "Li Juan, you don’t have to be so surprised. Just buy fewer clothes, and you can also buy a house."

"You, you..." Li Juan didn’t expect Wei Xuan to say that about her, and was happy internally, "How can I compare to you? I still have to raise kids."

"Unlike you, you don’t even care about the kids, no wonder Gao Zhen doesn’t want you." Hmph, Li Juan didn’t hold back from mocking Wei Xuan.

Although Wei Xuan felt annoyed, she also knew that ever since her divorce, many people had been pointing fingers at her, saying she was heartless.

She had heard such words many times, and now hearing Li Juan say them elicited no emotional response.

"Do kids necessarily guarantee filial piety?" She looked at the well-dressed Li Juan, then at the shabbily dressed Wei He and others, "You only care about dressing up, but look at your man and kids."

After smacking her lips a few times, Wei Xuan said goodbye to Zhang Yu and Wei Dazhi, then went to clean up.

Li Juan watched Wei Xuan leave, stomping her foot in anger, "Wei He, you’re just going to watch her scold me?"

"Didn’t you first mention her divorce, and she didn’t falsely accuse you either." Wei He didn’t even look at the other person, he just led his children to catch up with Zhang Yu.

Li Juan hadn’t expected that not only would Wei He not speak up for her, but he’d even mock her, which left her half-dead with anger, "Wei He, how can you talk to me like that?"

Wei He looked up at her coldly, "Did I say anything wrong?" He never imagined that Wei Xuan, who had been living alone all these years, could afford a house.

In contrast, he couldn’t even afford to rent a decent house without counting the money in his pocket.

Even their two children glanced at Li Juan, then bypassed her to follow Wei He, making Li Juan feel a chill from head to toe. She truly didn’t understand how things became like this.

Furious, she turned to complain to Li Mu, who was becoming increasingly exasperated by Li Juan’s tearful complaints.

The Eldest Sister-in-law, after hearing Li Juan say that Wei Xuan had already bought a house, pulled her husband back inside, "Look, even Wei Xuan managed to buy a house, what about us?"

Lately, the Eldest Sister-in-law had been considering whether they should buy a house, "Who knows when your workplace will allocate houses again."

"I was thinking, let’s buy a house and register it under Dad’s name, if we get allocated a house, great." The Eldest Sister-in-law knew Mr. Li supported them.

"We won’t mention it, and then we’ll rent the house out." The Eldest Sister-in-law added.

Brother Li had already been somewhat swayed, and hadn’t agreed mainly because buying a house would leave them without money and he was worried that if they bought a house, the workplace might not allocate one.

Now his wife had suggested it, and it wouldn’t be good if he didn’t agree, "Alright, I’ll go talk to Dad."

After Brother Li left the house, he directly called the increasingly impatient Mr. Li outside to talk about this matter.

Upon hearing that his son was planning to buy a house, Mr. Li was naturally supportive, "Buy it, your dad will chip in a bit."

He couldn’t cover the entire house payment, but helping out a little wasn’t a problem.

Returning to complaining about being bullied by her in-law family, Li Juan never imagined that the same situation actually firmed Brother Li’s resolve to buy a house.

Zhang Yu, talking with the homeowner while leaving, ended up encountering Mr. Li and the couple, and especially overhearing them discussing house prices, thought to themselves, are they planning to buy a house too?

Mr. Li and the others were taken aback to see Zhang Yu, questioning why she was there.

Zhang Yu froze for a moment, looked at them, and smiled, "Are you here to buy a house too? It’s really nice here."

"The primary and secondary schools here are ranked quite well in the Capital City. When Old Li’s eldest grandson gets married, this place would make a great wedding home, and when kids are born, you won’t worry about schools."

Zhang Yu was sure that the three of them buying a house hadn’t told Li Mu, otherwise, given Li Mu’s nature, she wouldn’t have kept quiet.

Mr. Li hadn’t expected Zhang Yu to confront them without avoiding them, causing all sorts of awkwardness. Initially thinking about not buying a house here, Zhang Yu’s reasoning made him reluctant to miss out.

"There aren’t many houses for sale now. It’s really nice here, I’ll buy one too."

"There’s an office building nearby and you can rent it to young people working in foreign companies, really not worrying about rental." Of course, they wouldn’t be moving in immediately.

The Eldest Sister-in-law, hearing Li Mu explaining everything, couldn’t help but speak up, "Auntie, you know a lot about this place."

Zhang Yu nodded, "Yeah, I must know. After all, now, the house is for renting out. When we get old and need care, we’ll sell one house a year for our retirement."

"Relying on kids, ah, you can’t rely on them. People need to think more about themselves. If kids are filial, great, but if not, spending too much on them isn’t as wise as saving money to buy a house."

"Spending money on a house is better, at least there’s a monthly return, and it can support you in old age."

After finishing, Zhang Yu left with the homeowner to do the transfer and payment procedures.

Mr. Li and the others, watching Zhang Yu leave, were utterly shocked, "Just bought a house and now she bought another."

Brother Li still hadn’t reacted properly. They had debated for so long about buying this house, and who would have thought Zhang Yu would buy another one.

Mr. Li kept shaking his head, "Your sister, sigh." Having such rich in-laws but not fostering a good relationship, just as foolish as a pig, hopeless.
