Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 135 A car parked at the door

Li Xunli looked at him in surprise: "Why so sudden?"

Shen Rongzhou smiled and said, "I was going to go almost a week ago, but my injury hasn't healed yet, so I had to wait until today."

Li Xunli looked troubled. "What should we do with the children at home? My brother and I are also going on a business trip for half a month, and we need to scout out locations and rent some temporary stores."

Shen Rongzhou was stunned for a moment. "When are you and brother going? When will you be back?"

Li Xunli sighed: "It's about the same time as yours."

It was because the couple's business trips coincided that Li Xunli was in such a difficult situation.

"Then we'll have to let Qingqing and Yangyang live with Mom while we're away on business. Otherwise, I'll be left with two children at home, and I'll be worried sick."

Shen Qingqing and Shen Yangyang each took a lollipop and listened to her parents' plans for the next half month.

Shen Rongzhou nodded and said, "Then tell Mom tomorrow that I'm on a business trip and I'll ask Mr. Zhang if it's convenient for him to take me with him."

"Well, okay." Li Xunli agreed.

The next day, after Li Xunli told Li Yuxing that she and her husband were going on a business trip, she packed up the two children's things when she came back in the evening and sent the two children directly to the Li family overnight.

It was only after going to the Li family that Shen Qingqing realized that her uncle had been working overtime for a week and did not come home until around nine or ten o'clock every night.

No wonder, when she occasionally wanted to call her uncle to talk about selling stocks, no one answered the phone.

If she got home at ten o'clock, she would have been sent to bed by Li Xunli by then.

But living in Li's house is much more convenient.

Grandpa and grandma couldn't control Shen Qingqing. Even if they saw her staying up late, they would just remind her to go to bed early and then keep nagging her, without any threat at all.

So Shen Qingqing successfully saw Li Xunjin walking into the living room from behind the screen just after ten o'clock in the evening.

When Li Xunjin saw Shen Qingqing at home, he was also stunned for a moment, "Qingqing? Why are you here?"

Shen Qingqing drank the last sip of water and replied, "Dad and Mom are going on a business trip, so they asked Yangyang and I to stay here for a few days."

Li Xunjin understood, "Okay then, go to bed early, you have to go to school tomorrow."

After saying that, he was about to go upstairs.

How could Shen Qingqing let him go like this? She quickly chased after him: "Uncle, uncle!"

Li Xunjin paused on the first step and turned to look at Shen Qingqing: "What's wrong?"

"Have you been checking the stock market recently?" Shen Qingqing clung to the stair railing, squeezed her little face into the gap between the two railings, and looked up in an ugly and cute way.

Li Xunjin said "Oh" suddenly, "I've been so busy lately that I almost forgot about it if you didn't mention it. You mean the sell-off in October, right?"

Shen Qingqing nodded twice and said, "I was thinking, the porcelain factory is in Anlu Town now. Even with a motorcycle, it's still quite a long way for my mom to go back and forth. If we can buy a new house in Anlu Town, then my mom won't have to travel so far."

"Buy a house?" Li Xunjin repeated Shen Qingqing's words.

"Yes! Buy a house! Buy it in Anlu Town!" Shen Qingqing affirmed solemnly. Li Xunjin looked at his niece with a somewhat subtle expression.

Although he has been busy recently, he is not completely oblivious to news from the outside world.

He actually heard from a client that Anlu Town seemed to be about to be designated as a development zone.

Recalling that when he wanted to buy the land for the porcelain factory, he was originally hesitant whether to give up the location in Anlu Town, but he did not expect that he would buy the land in Anlu Town instead.

It seemed that his niece also mentioned Anlu Town at that time.

But the final decision was made by his sister.

Now I want to buy a house there...

But when I thought about what Shen Qingqing said about wanting to buy a house there because she didn't want her mother to be too tired, it seemed completely reasonable.

The expression on Li Xunjin's face faded slightly. After all, she was just an eight-year-old child. How could she know these things earlier than the adults? She might not even understand what the words "designated as a development zone" meant.

After he figured it out, he said to Shen Qingqing, "I saw it a long time ago. The money in your account is more than enough to buy a 160-square-meter house in Anlu Town."

Shen Qingqing blinked and asked, "What if I want to buy a 200-square-meter apartment?"

She thought that her parents had one room, and the three children needed three rooms, so there must be a guest room in case of emergency!
That would require five bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms and a kitchen. How could such a large configuration be possible without 200 square meters?

Li Xunjin thought for a moment and said, "I'm not too sure about this one. I've heard of some communities selling 160-square-meter units, but I haven't heard much about 200-square-meter units."

"Let's ask your uncle and your mother about it after they get back from their business trip. Since we're buying a house, let's buy it together. Your aunt's job might be transferred to the middle school in Anlu Town, and your uncle's company is also relatively close to Anlu Town. It would indeed be much more convenient for us to move to Anlu Town."

"But your father might be in trouble. He will have to travel even further back and forth."

After hearing what Li Xunjin said, Shen Qingqing suddenly remembered that, yes, her father's company was heading towards the city center, which was the opposite direction of Anlu Town.

Shen Qingqing pondered for a moment, then said with some sadness, "Then please ask my dad to work hard and buy me a car."

Li Xunjin was amused by her reaction.

"But uncle, can you keep the house buying a secret for me for now? Don't let my parents know. I want to wait until the money from the stocks is liquidated before telling them about the house buying." Shen Qingqing looked at Li Xunjin pitifully.

Li Xunjin certainly understood what she meant and agreed without hesitation.

The uncle and nephew made some further arrangements regarding the stock sale, and then went back to their respective rooms to sleep.

For the next half month, Shen Qingqing would call her parents separately before going to bed every night.

From time to time, we can also learn about the current work progress of both parties over the phone.

Half a month passed in a flash. After Shen Rongzhou and Li Xunli came back, they did not rest. They kept going back to the company and the porcelain factory.

The day before the National Day holiday, when Shen Qingqing returned home, she saw a black Toyota sedan parked in front of their house. She looked at it curiously for a few more times before deciding to open the door and go home.

Unexpectedly, the door was not locked. When I opened it, I saw her father and mother sitting happily in the living room.
