After Being Reborn and Regaining Her Identity, the True Heiress Is Spoiled in the Seventies

Chapter 378

Zhi Xia quickly calmed down, smiled and said, "Uncle, your house is indeed nice, but the price is still a bit too high for me. I think you should still look for other buyers."

She sincerely wanted to buy, but he was not sincerely selling.

Anyone who sincerely wanted to sell, even if the price was higher, they could still negotiate well.

Quoting such a high price right away, you could buy 3 houses of the same kind, she had money, but she was not a fool either.

"Auntie Chenye, why don't you think about it again? It's not easy to buy a house in the past two years. If you miss mine, it will be hard to find such a good house again." The man had an anxious look on his face and was still persuading, "Only poor people haggle over every ounce. You also run a big factory, don't you have enough money? It's just like you losing a strand of hair."

This was just someone who knew she ran a factory, and didn't know she had other sources of income.

How could he not think that her ability to make money by running a factory was her own skill? Although she was not a cold-hearted person to her neighbors, she probably didn't like being cheated by others.

"Uncle, I do run a factory, but I don't have so much money to throw around either. I sincerely want to buy a house. If you sincerely want to sell, let's talk about the price properly," Zhi Xia said, and looked critically at the man in front of her, "I suddenly realized this house is not that good after all. After all, it’s a decades-old house that needs a lot of renovating, and many things are already broken. I heard that the first phase of the commodity houses built by Jin City has been completed. I should go take a look at those apartment buildings. After all, apartment buildings are cleaner and tidier, and they are new houses. I heard the prices are not too expensive either, you can buy four or five with 10,000 yuan."

After Zhi Xia finished speaking, she left, ignoring his shouting behind her.

When she returned home, she saw her daughter and her friend standing in the yard, with the bewildered Yue Ya beside them.

"Wanqing, you can't do this. You see now no one else wants to play with you, I'm the only one still playing with you. Just listen to me..."

"It's their loss that they don't want to play with me, and I didn't ask you to play with me either. You always come to find me yourself every day. And I've told you many times, I can't make decisions regarding my brother. Haven't you seen that I get scolded by my brother all day like his grandson?"

Zhi Xia frowned and walked into the living room.

"Sister Zhang, come here for a moment."

"Oh!"

Sister Zhang responded and came in from outside, "What's the matter, Zhi Xia?"

"Sister Zhang, I just wanted to ask, does Wanqing usually play with that Yun Yan girl often?"

She had been too busy, so she neglected the children at home.

But she also knew Yun Yan. She was from the new family that just moved here at the beginning of the year. She often saw the girl at her house and thought she got along well with Wanqing.

Zhi Xia had frightened Sister Zhang at first by asking her to sit down to talk, thinking she had done something wrong.

When she heard it was about Wanqing, she breathed a sigh of relief, "I was wondering too. Our Wanqing has been popular among kids since she was little. Her little girlfriends kept coming to the house to find her to play. But I don't know if it's because the kids are older now and are busy with school, I haven't seen anyone come over lately. Yun Yan comes often. I see Wanqing gets along well with her."

The child she had raised was also a great sense of accomplishment for Sister Zhang. "Not only Wanqing has grown, Chenye looks like an adult too. And you too have been overwhelmed with work and making money all the time. You need to pay attention to your health too. Take some time off whenever you can to play well with the kids. They will be grown up before you know it. If you don't take the time now while you still can, when you want to accompany them later, the kids may not have time even if you do. Isn't that right?"

Sister Zhang was quite wise from experience, as her two children at home were already grown up now, about to get married and start their own families. Yet she didn't manage to take time off to accompany the kids properly when they were little.

But her situation was different from Zhi Xia’s.

With limited means, she could only work hard for a living, while neglecting the children.

Zhi Xia would probably never have such troubles in her life.

"You're absolutely right. I really have neglected the children lately. I should take the opportunity whenever I can to take them out to play well." Zhi Xia laughed out loud and reflected on herself, "By the way, Sister Zhang, thank you for all your help at home over the years. I heard your daughter graduated from school right? Any plans for her?"

"I wanted her to find a steady job first. At least it would be more stable. But this girl has a wild heart. She wants to go south with her classmate to study hairdressing. She said if she learns well she'll come back and open a hair salon. Her classmate's cousin went down south a couple of years ago and opened a hair salon there. You see, it took so much effort to raise her and send her to school, I was hoping she could make something of herself. But she actually wants to cut people's hair. Wouldn't all these years of schooling be in vain then?" Sister Zhang's brows were tainted with faint melancholy, "We've been unhappy these days because of this. Her dad doesn't feel assured letting his daughter go far away either. She's only 19 after all. It took so much effort to raise her this big. You tell me, what if someone deceives her away? Wouldn't that take my life? And she just argues with us when we try to stop her, not listening at all..."

"Learning to be a hairdresser is still a way out. If done well, it's no worse than a normal job. But your concern makes sense too, Sister Zhang. It is indeed worrisome for a girl to go far away alone. And at her age, with no experience, she could be easily deceived by others." Zhi Xia was truly grateful to Sister Zhang, otherwise she wouldn't have asked about her daughter today, "Sister Zhang, if a child really wants to learn something, it has to be at an honest place. You know Brother Wu and Hu Zhou have been in Shen City for many years. I heard many hair salons opened there, but such salons are not proper at all. They cut hair as a cover for doing that kind of business. You really need to ask clearly whether the place her classmate is going to is reliable or not."

"There's this kind of thing too? Oh heavens, the world is really declining in moral values!" Sister Zhang was even more against letting her daughter go now, "No way. I need to go back and advise my girl properly. I was just worried about traffickers with so many cases these days, fearing she would be trafficked when alone out there. If the salon she goes to is that kind of place, I might as well strangle her now."
