Chapter 490: Daughter Reborn After Mother's Divorce (Part 5)
For Zhang Chengrong to be able to get the money for this house is truly a one-of-a-kind thing in their village!
You have to understand that there is no concept of marital property nowadays. If a couple divorces, the woman gets nothing. She's lucky if she gets any money. But who has that much savings?
If there's no money, the house and land belong to the man, and the bedding, pots and pans, and furniture that the woman brought as dowry are already broken. If they divorce, wouldn't that mean she'd leave with nothing?
So, if you work yourself to death to marry into another family, and then you're unhappy and want to leave, you'll really lose everything!
In her previous life, Li Weiwei was too young to know that her mother had received this money after the divorce. She only found out after Zhang Chengrong gambled it all away.
But even if she knew from the beginning, it wouldn't have mattered. She was just a little kid; would her mother listen to her? Back then, Li Weiwei was only a teenager; she wouldn't have been as bold as she is now!
Li Weiwei now knows that her mother has money, but she is worried that her mother will use the money to gamble again. So as soon as Zhang Chengrong took her and her sister to the county town, Li Weiwei persuaded her mother to hurry up and buy a house.
These days, 20,000 yuan can buy a self-built house by a local in a small county town!
Looking at her eldest daughter's confident expression, Zhang Chengrong hesitated before suggesting, "Weiwei, why don't we rent a place first? Staying in a hotel is so inconvenient."
“What’s inconvenient about it? The three of us, mother and daughters, are currently living in a single room for 5 yuan a day. We’ll stay for another three to five days at most, and then we’ll have the house.” Renting a house? That’s absolutely impossible. If we rent, the idea of buying a house will just disappear.
Li Weiwei knew her mother too well; once a person settled down, they would never easily change their situation.
Zhang Chengrong had been dragged around by Li Weiwei looking for a house for several days, and her patience was almost worn out. So Zhang Chengrong looked at Weiwei and said, "Weiwei, why don't we not buy this house? Let's rent a place first, it'll be more convenient."
Li Weiwei, holding her younger sister's hand, looked at Zhang Chengrong pitifully. "But Mom, we don't have a house in the village anymore. If we don't have one in the county town either, won't we become homeless children? My sister and I just want a home of our own!"
She didn't want to live like she did in her previous life, having to move several times a year just to find a place to rent. And ever since her father bought a house in the county town, the three of them had been subjected to a lot of pity by his friends.
Who could blame them when Li Nangu became so successful in the county town? Many people knew them and were aware of their family's situation.
Every time Weiwei and her sister run into their father's friends, they would say with sympathetic looks, "Oh, your father is rich now... so what?"
Even worse, Li Weiwei thought about how her mother had to take odd jobs to earn money every time she lost all her money, and how they would have a very difficult time without living expenses.
Li Weiwei would then bite the bullet and ask her father for some money, after all, she and her younger sister were his own daughters, and if he didn't care, her mother should at least care about her and her sister.
Every time she asked her father, Li Nangu would only give her two or five yuan. It was fine once or twice, but after asking many times, Li Weiwei had to suppress her shame and mentally prepare herself for half a day before she dared to go.
Because of this incident, Li Weiwei always felt somewhat inferior when facing others after she grew up.
She complained about her mother, she complained about her father, and she complained even more about why they got divorced.
However, seeing that her mother never let them give up their studies even when she was short of money, and even tried her best to raise tuition fees for her and her sister, Li Weiwei felt relieved.
Looking at her still young mother and thinking about her savings, Li Weiwei was determined to buy a house.
So she tried her best to persuade Zhang Chengrong: "And Mom, if we have a house in the county town, but Dad doesn't, do you think he will regret it if he finds out that we have a house in the county town?"
Li Weiwei knew in her heart that as long as her father was mentioned, her mother would definitely buy it in order to prove her point.
Sure enough, Zhang Chengrong, who had already given up, immediately perked up when she heard Li Nangu's name, determined to buy the house no matter what.
Seeing her mother's enthusiastic expression, Li Weiwei couldn't help but puff out her chest, raise her head, and smile smugly.
Hehe~ Her mom's brain is so simple, she can fool anyone.
Zhang Chengrong probably puts all her energy into the mahjong table, and has no guard against her own people at all.
Otherwise, how could she have been deceived by Li Nangu into being a virtuous wife and loving mother at home for so many years?
Zhang Chengrong is not the shrewd and capable type of person. Although she is over thirty years old now, she is still quite good-looking.
Those big, double-lidded eyes are the finishing touch to her face; more than thirty years have not diminished their charm.
Instead, she is like a well-brewed wine, her eyes possessing both the wisdom of someone who has experienced the world and a charming innocence that she reveals unintentionally, making her unforgettable.
Especially when she blinks and stares at people, you can feel her innocence.
Li Weiwei held her younger sister's hand, looking left and right, trying hard to recognize the roads around here. She remembered that in her previous life, there was a self-built house for sale here.
Li Weiwei heard about this from her grandmother when she grew up. In the early 2000s, her grandmother and grandfather used a handcart to sell honeycomb briquettes in the alleys of the county town.
So she got to know many people here. At that time, my grandmother had saved some money, so the seller asked her if she wanted to buy the house.
At the time, my grandmother didn't have such long-term plans. She felt that it wasn't worthwhile to buy a house in the county town. They didn't have jobs or land there, and they would have to spend money on everything, so she refused to buy one.
Although they came to see it in advance, the house has been listed for several years.
Maybe this house is already for sale.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar alleys beside her, Li Weiwei felt dizzy; all the alleys looked the same.
Vivi had been here in her previous life, but the alley was clean and spacious then, unlike now, which is narrow and full of potholes.
"Weiwei, this road is getting more and more remote. Even if there are houses here, are you really planning to buy one here?" Zhang Chengrong looked at the low tile-roofed houses and haphazardly built sheds next to her, her mind in turmoil.
The thought of settling down here in the future immediately dispelled Zhang Chengrong's idea of buying a house.
"Mom, don't let the dilapidated state of this house fool you, it's in a great location! It's very close to the market and school, which will make it easy for my sister and me to get to school!"
Moreover, there aren't so many rules to follow when buying a house now; it's very easy to buy one. Besides, we won't be living here forever; this area will definitely be demolished and rebuilt.
Besides, even if you rent a place, how good can it be?
