Chapter 872 - 298: Zhijin’s Request—Is Third Uncle Selling His Daughter? (2)

He gave Xia Zhijin 5 million as pocket money and told her before leaving that she can manage it.

Li Yuan laughed heartily, "It’s just 100,000, you can make the decision yourself, no need to specifically ask for my opinion."

Xia Zhijin saw that Li Yuan didn’t seem angry, so she gathered her courage and shyly asked:

"Li Yuan, you, you’re not angry?"

Li Yuan chuckled, "There’s nothing to be angry about."

After speaking, Li Yuan thought about Xia Zhijin’s gentle nature and asked:

"By the way, which uncle borrowed the money, and for what purpose? Did he tell you?"

Xia Zhijin quickly explained, "It was my third uncle who borrowed it. He’s been working in Shancheng and wants to buy a house there so my cousin can transfer schools."

"They are short 100,000 on the down payment, so he asked me, and I said I should ask for your opinion."

Li Yuan understood and was about to respond when he suddenly thought of Xia Zhijin’s cousin, Chu Yanyan.

The beautiful cousin who almost committed suicide by jumping off a building is the daughter of Xia Zhijin’s third uncle.

Due to the fact he was dating several girlfriends at once, this beautiful cousin had a big problem with him...

Li Yuan replied:

"Zhijin, since third uncle is using it for the right reasons, to buy a house for cousin’s schooling, you should sponsor a bit more. The prices in Shancheng aren’t high now, so they can get a bigger house, their family is large..."

Although Xia Zhijin had over 5 million in hand, she didn’t intend to make decisions on her own.

After Li Yuan left, she spent money sparingly and only from the salary the company paid her...

"Then how much should I lend?" Xia Zhijin softly asked.

Li Yuan was speechless; he had already said it doesn’t matter, yet this silly girl still asked so clearly.

"Ahem, just handle it yourself, lend as much as they need. If the money’s not enough, let me know, and I’ll transfer it to you."

Seeing Xia Zhijin’s sincerity, Li Yuan hurriedly reminded her:

"By the way, Zhijin, don’t be silly and insist third uncle gives you an IOU, just transfer it to him, if he wants to repay, he will. If not, forget it, our family isn’t short on money..."

Listening to Li Yuan’s advice, Xia Zhijin’s cheeks turned warm, and she embarrassedly uttered "Okay".

Actually, she intended to get an IOU from third uncle.

...

After hanging up the phone, Xia Zhijin walked to the living room.

Seeing her third uncle and aunt eagerly waiting, and her grandmother sitting silently, Xia Zhijin smiled and relayed Li Yuan’s message:

"Uncle, Aunt, Li Yuan agreed, he also said you can buy a bigger house."

Upon hearing Xia Zhijin’s response, Chen Qiuhua and Chu Yue felt relieved and gained more affection for Li Yuan.

It was really considerate; they just wanted to buy a small house in Shancheng so their son could transfer to school there.

But Li Yuan generously said they could change to a bigger house...

"Well, Jin, did Li Yuan really say that?" Chu Yue asked earnestly, her eyes flickering.

Xia Zhijin nodded, "Yes!"

Chu Yue glanced at Chen Qiuhua, feeling very moved; she also wanted to change to a bigger house and settle in a big city.

Even if it wasn’t the luxury duplex Li Yuan gifted Xia Zhijin, a three-bedroom house would be very good.

No, even a four-bedroom house could be considered.

Chu Yue urged, "Honey, since Li Yuan and Jin both said so, say something."

Chen Qiuhua felt a bit embarrassed, nudged Chu Yue’s arm, and indicated, "You’ve seen more houses, you should speak."

Chu Yue, being strong-minded and assertive, otherwise Chu Yanyan wouldn’t bear Chu as a surname instead of Chen.

Immediately, she rolled her eyes and tentatively asked.

"Jin, I, your uncle, Yanyan, Qing, and future Qing’s wife, I want to change to a four-bedroom house, do you think it’s okay?"

Xia Zhijin nodded, "Sure! Aunt, how much do you need? Shall I transfer it to you?"

Chu Yue saw Xia Zhijin agree so readily, calculated a bit, she had previously seen a few four-bedroom houses in the city center, the total price was around 1.1 million.

Counting the 300,000 saved over the decades by the couple, plus 100,000 bonuses in the daughter’s hands and 100,000 borrowed from the family, they roughly needed about 600,000 more...

"Well, Jin, is this amount okay?"

Chu Yue cautiously gestured the number "six".

"Aunt, 600,000?" Xia Zhijin asked.

Chu Yue nodded and quickly explained, afraid Xia Zhijin might misunderstand:

"Now the bank loan interest is quite high, I’m thinking to have less pressure later."

"If it is too much, less is fine."

Having received Li Yuan’s advice, Xia Zhijin naturally wouldn’t mind, and she agreed promptly.

"Okay, Uncle, Aunt, let’s go to the bank together tomorrow and transfer it to you!"

Seeing Xia Zhijin agree so easily, Chu Yue was almost jumping for joy, showing deep excitement and shock.

She gave Xia Zhijin a deep look, feeling much appreciated.

Look at her, merely eighteen or nineteen years old, lending 600,000 without a fuss, isn’t it because she found a great boyfriend?

Then look at their sweet daughter, who isn’t much worse, relatively similar to Xia Zhijin...

Chu Yue sighed inwardly, looked at Xia Zhijin, and sincerely thanked:

"Jin, Aunt really thanks you, also thank Li Yuan for me..."
