Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.

Xia He was feeling sad when she heard Xu Liyun laugh awkwardly:

“Xiahe’s life will definitely not be bad. Mom loves you so much, how could she let you live a hard life?”

“Unlike me, when I married Xia Jun, the Xia family gave me a dowry of 800 yuan.”

The room fell silent immediately after those words were spoken.

Xia Jun quickly pulled Xu Liyun away:

"It's almost time. Let's go to the restaurant to greet our relatives."

Xu Liyun knew that what she had said was inappropriate, but she was petty and almost insanely jealous, and couldn't control her mouth at all.

Pulled by Xia Jun, she tried to take the opportunity to step down.

However, Wen Fengqin had no intention of letting her leave so easily.

"Stop."

Wen Fengqin said coldly:

"Since Xia Jun's uncle and aunt, along with these relatives, are all here today, Xu Liyun, let's make things clear so as not to cause any misunderstandings."

Xia Jun pleaded with his face full of pleas.

"Mom, Liyun is very outspoken..."

"She's outspoken, so she was just saying what she really thought."

Wen Fengqin is no longer angry with her son, but they have caused Xia He distress on such a special day, and this matter absolutely cannot be let go so easily.

"Xu Liyun, you're jealous seeing my daughter adorned with gold and silver, aren't you?"

"But what does it have to do with you? Xia He earned it all through her own abilities. Even if you're envious, you'd better keep it to yourself."

He then addressed the crowd:

"Since everyone is here, I'll explain things to you all."

"The jewelry Xia He is wearing today was bought by the Qin family."

"As you all know, I've been living with Xia He for the past two years, helping her with her shop. She pays me a salary and provides me with a new house. As her mother, I don't have any other skills, so I just bought her two gold bracelets, two gold necklaces, and six quilts. Isn't that a bit much?"

"Don't laugh at me, but before I met Xia He, I didn't have much money at all. I used to live with my son, and all my retirement pension went to support their little family."

"The Qin family bought a wedding house, a big house with three bedrooms. The decoration, appliances and furniture were all provided by the son-in-law. Apart from gold jewelry and a few sets of clothes and shoes, I did not ask for any bride price."

"The rest of the jewelry in this box were all bought by Xia He herself; it was her own dowry."

“My daughter is capable; she can buy whatever she wants.”

"Xu Liyun, do you have any other opinions?"

Xia Jun was already blushing with embarrassment.

Xu Liyun looked like she was ready to go all out.

"Mom, now that we've talked it out, I can let bygones be bygones, but your house must be left to my son."

“A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; you can’t be so senile as to give the Xia family’s things to outsiders.”

Wen Fengqin sneered:

"Xia He's house is too big to accommodate everyone, use your pig brain to think about it properly."

"Trying to buy my house? Fine, I can give it to my grandson, but that'll have to wait until I'm dead."

"Also, Xiahe will take care of me in my old age, and my savings will go to Xiahe. Please have your uncles, aunts, and everyone else bear witness."

Uncle Cao Dafa immediately said:

"I think it's fine, let's settle on this, so you two siblings won't argue and hurt your relationship over these things."

Xia He smiled and said:

"I'll listen to Mom."

Xu Liyun was dumbfounded and frantically calculated in her mind.

Wen Fengqin's retirement pension is over two hundred yuan, and Xia He's pension is several hundred yuan. Together, they make almost a thousand yuan a month, which is ten thousand yuan a year.

Ten years is 100,000.

That house is only worth tens of thousands of yuan, less than half.

Moreover, Wen Fengqin is still young and can definitely work for another ten years or so.

If you inherit the house yourself, wouldn't that be a loss?

Xia Jun was so ashamed he wanted to disappear into the ground.

"Mom, I am your son, it is my responsibility to take care of you in your old age."

For the first time, Xu Liyun felt that her husband had hit the nail on the head, and quickly chimed in:

"Yes, Mom, we will take care of you in your old age."

“I just thought about it. It’s your house, so you can decide for yourself. If you want to give it to Xia He, Xia Jun and I won’t say a word.”

Xia Jun glanced at Xu Liyun in surprise. Although he didn't know why Xu Liyun's personality had suddenly changed so drastically, these were the words he wanted to say:

"Yes, Mom, I don't want that house. It was originally yours."

Wen Fengqin glanced at Xu Liyun and instinctively felt that this daughter-in-law was plotting something again.

Sure enough, Xu Liyun said:

"Yes, Mom, the house will go to Xia He, and Xia Jun and I will take care of you in your old age."

This time, Xu Liyun finally learned her lesson and didn't explicitly ask for money.

But she calculated it even more precisely.

The house will only be given to Xia He after the old woman dies. So, if the two of them take care of the old woman in her old age, won't they still be living in the house?

The house is about to be demolished, and she is very worried that her family of three will not be able to move into the new house after the demolition.

In this way, they can live in the house, and the old woman's money will also be theirs.

As for after the old woman died, she and Xia Jun must have already bought a new house by then.

The old woman's house is already an old house. Xia He can give it to her if she wants it, or not if she doesn't. Anyway, they won't lose out.

Xu Liyun was full of scheming, thinking that no one could see through her.

In fact, Cao Dafa, Wen Fengqin, Xia He, and Bai Zhenzhu, who were all present, saw right through her little scheme.

Cao Dafa shook his head. Although he was the uncle, he couldn't say anything.

Wen Fengqin was no longer disappointed. After all, the fact that her daughter-in-law was still mindful of saving face and didn't say things outright was already a sign of her intelligence.

Unfortunately, her foolish son actually took her wife seriously and promised to support her in her old age.

At this moment, Xia He smiled and said:

“Okay, Mom. I just think it’s too hard for you to run the shop for me. Anyway, you have a retirement pension, so retirement won’t be a problem.”

"From now on, you don't need to go to Chengdu anymore, and you don't need to look after the shops in Yuan City. Just stay at home and enjoy your life. My brother and sister-in-law will definitely take good care of you."

Wen Fengqin followed Xia He's words:

"Okay, then I won't go to Chengdu anymore, I'll just stay home and wait for the demolition."

Xia Jun nodded happily:

"Yes, yes, Mom can just stay home and enjoy her life, I'll take care of her."

Xu Liyun panicked immediately.

The old lady isn't minding the shop anymore?

If she doesn't work at the shop, she won't earn a high salary. What can she do with her retirement pension of two or three hundred yuan?

He hurriedly tugged at Xia Jun's clothes:

“Mom has gotten used to a good life with my sister, so she definitely won’t be used to eating coarse food with us.”

"I think..."

Xia He sneered.

Wen Fengqin was so angry at Xu Liyun's attitude that her lungs ached, and she coldly interrupted:

"Alright, let's stick to what I said before: the house is yours, Xia He will be responsible for my retirement, and the money will go to Xia He."

Seeing that Xu Liyun still seemed dissatisfied, he said sternly:

"Some people are so short-sighted that they can only see your toes, and they think everyone else is a fool?"

"If you say another word, I won't give you a single tile."

Xu Liyun reluctantly shut her mouth.

Just then, they were calling outside for the groom to come and pick up the bride.
