Happiness System

Qin Xiaoyun was also paying attention to what was happening over there. She knew the exact amount of money that the second wife got, but if the couple divided it again, Fang Yulan would definitely not be able to get half of the property, so she also had that in mind.

But she also had no intention of letting the mother and her children live with her. Living together would certainly be lively, but one home definitely could not accommodate two mistresses.

Fang Yulan has a strong personality, so it's hard to say who will be the leader and who will be the follower at that time.

Another thing is that after living together, it becomes her responsibility to raise her younger siblings, and she may even be responsible for their marriage.

She doesn't want to be called selfish or cold.

So Qin Xiaoyun didn't beat around the bush and asked directly: "What do you think about how big a house you should buy and where you should buy it? And have you thought about your younger brothers and sisters' future education?"

Fang Yulan thought Qin Xiaoyun was unwilling to pay, and she was disappointed but not without preparation. She said with a wry smile: "It doesn't matter whether the house is big or new, as long as it is big enough for us to live in, but it has to be convenient for your brothers and sisters to go to school.

As long as your brother can get into university, I will sell my dowry to let him continue his studies. As for your sister, I also plan to let her go to a girls' school for a few years.

As long as your brothers and sisters can grow up safely and become ordinary people, then so be it. What can a powerless woman like me do? "

Qin Xiaoyun looked at her deeply and knew that she had changed because she was heartbroken by her husband, but she did not rule out the possibility that she was using a self-torture strategy.

But it was impossible to ignore them. She drank a mouthful of water to moisten her throat before she said, "What do you think of this apartment? Or do you prefer living in a small courtyard?

The last time I bought a house, the middleman still had a few good houses, but I don’t know if they had sold them.

You can visit the apartment and form a consensus.

I'll take you out for dinner later, and then we'll go find a matchmaker to look at houses.

Don't worry, I will pay part of the money for the house, and you can keep the money for your future life. You will need to spend a lot of money when you live alone in the future."

"Mom, let's buy an apartment. Apartments are good!"

Qin Xiaofu was only eight years old and didn’t know how to distinguish whether a house was good or comfortable. She just felt that the apartment was fresh and different from the yard they lived in before.

"Sister, I want to visit this house." Qin Qinghao and Qin Qingjun were fifteen and twelve respectively, and they both already had their own ideas.

Qin Xiaoyun stood up and took them to look around.

"This is the study, and the one inside is uncle's room."

"This is Big Brother's room. I'll be living in this one for now."

She opened all the doors, took them around every corner, and told them some functions that the bungalows and courtyards did not have.

The two brothers quickly made a decision. They looked at each other, and Qin Qinghao spoke: "Mom, sister, we want to live in an apartment!"

If you live in an apartment, you can just hire a nanny to help your parents with housework. You don’t need to spend a lot of money to repair and maintain the house. In the winter, you don’t have to worry about no one clearing the snow and the house collapsing. And the apartment has heating!

"Good apartments are hard to come by. This apartment has heating because it is expensive and in a good location. Other apartments may not have heating. You have to ask the middlemen to know what kind of apartment you can find."

Qin Xiaoyun picked up a small bag and took them out to eat.

Afraid that Fang Yulan would not be accustomed to the food, and also afraid that Qin Qinghao and Qin Qingjun would be embarrassed to say that they were not full, Qin Xiaoyun did not take them to a Western restaurant, but instead went to a famous restaurant in Qingcheng and asked for a private room.

Because of Qin Huaihua's incompetence, people from the second branch rarely have the opportunity to dine in such a big restaurant. The three siblings felt a little restrained and uneasy after they stepped into the restaurant.

Qin Xiaoyun simply asked the waiter to list their signature dishes and let Fang Yulan and her son choose.

Fang Yulan chose a meat dish, and Qin Qinghao didn't dare to ask the price and only picked the vegetarian ones.

Qin Xiaoyun smiled and said nothing. She added two meat dishes and said, "The dishes here are more exquisite." But the portions are small.

Then he asked about Qin Qinghao's brother's studies. Qin Qinghao used to go to an old-style school, and transferred to a new-style school three years ago. He will be in Form 5 in the second half of the year, and will take the college entrance examination the year after next.

Qin Qingjun was rather playful. When he entered the new-style school, he only passed the entrance exam to primary school. He will be entering the first grade of junior high school in the second half of this year.

However, Qin Qingjun is also young. He graduated from high school after six years and is only 18 years old. He is the same age as most of his classmates.

Unlike his brother, he is two or three years younger than most of his classmates.

When talking about his studies, Qin Qinghao was a little shy, "I can understand the courses taught by the teacher, but my learning is average.

Before the holiday, my teacher took last year's college entrance examination papers and asked us to write them again. I only ranked 15th in the class, so I still have a long way to go to get into college."

Fang Yulan didn't want her daughter to think her son was useless and was afraid that her daughter would not be willing to support her brother in the future, so she immediately rushed to say, "Your older brother ranked 20th in the school in the Form 4 graduation exam. The teacher said that if he keeps up the good performance, he will have no problem getting into a good university.

Sir, you are really something. I will only be entering Form 5 in the second half of the year, and there are still two full years before the university entrance examination.

There must be a lot of knowledge that they have not yet learned, so why are they given the college entrance examination papers to write? Doesn't this undermine their self-confidence?

Ah Jun is a little naughty, but he didn’t have to wait for a grade, and he can go directly to Form 1 in the second half of the year.”

"The teacher also wants us to know our shortcomings and motivate us to make progress."

Qin Qinghao's husband is indeed a good person, and he doesn't want people to misunderstand and blame him.

Qin Xiaoyun watched them bickering with a smile without interrupting. The original owner didn't have much contact with her family after she got married. Because her mother was strict, she went back two or three times a year and was always in a hurry. She really didn't know about her brother's situation after he went to the new-style school.

After the mother and son calmed down, she asked, "Didn't your husband offer private lessons during the long summer vacation?"

"Our teacher doesn't teach private classes, but he will take some students out for study tours."

Qin Qinghao felt a little depressed when talking about this, because his family had no money!

Although the Qin family ranks high in Qingcheng and even Qinzhou, his father is a bastard who has no ambition to make progress. The family is only responsible for their food, drink and daily necessities. Of course, they will also give them some monthly allowance, but it is really not much, just enough for daily socializing.

Thinking of his father, he also thought of dividing the family property. No one would take care of his food and clothing in the future, and it would probably be difficult for him to support his tuition expenses.

So he became even more depressed, "Sister, the tuition of Maria College is too high. Should we transfer to a normal school?"

Qin Xiaoyun asked about the tuition and expenses for studying at Maria College, and then said, "Didn't father tell you that the old house doesn't really ignore you just because the family is divided?

As long as you are in the top 50 in the school, you can take your transcript back to the housekeeper to get money.

The old house will cover the tuition and half of the normal living expenses!

It doesn’t matter if you don’t rank in the top 50. As long as you work hard, your family will be able to support you until you graduate.”

Even if they fail to get into university, the children of the Qin family don't have to worry about finding a job. As long as they are not hopeless, the Qin family will provide them with job opportunities. How far they can get depends on their own abilities.

Thinking of Qin Huaihua, she reminded him again: "Don't use the apartment I live in as a reference when choosing a house this afternoon.

Where I live, I have to spend ten silver dollars every month without eating or drinking!

And you have to choose a house and register your household registration as soon as possible. After you go back, Ah Hao will quickly find your transcript and go to the housekeeper to withdraw the fees for the second half of the year."

The two little kids didn't understand what she said, but Fang Yulan and Qin Qinghao did.

Qin Xiaoyun asked them to be careful of Qin Huaihua and his concubines!

Fang Yulan gritted her teeth and said, "I knew that the bastard was dishonest! We have to book a house this afternoon no matter what. If the house needs to be renovated, we can just rent a place for two months!"

She would not be so shameless as to continue staying in the old house. If she stayed, others would surely follow suit and make trouble, and then the eldest wife would be the only one to blame.

The love between the brothers and sisters is almost gone, and her children will be the only ones who suffer in the future, so she won't do such stupid things!

After a few words, the waiter knocked on the door and brought in the food, and the few people did not continue the topic.

After dinner, Qin Xiaoyun took them to find the middleman named Aqiang.

When we found Aqiang, he was squatting on the side of the road eating.

Seeing Qin Xiaoyun and her men staring at him, A Qiang didn't feel embarrassed at all. He just greeted them and continued to eat his rice with big mouthfuls.

Qin Xiaoyun didn't urge him and took Fang Yulan and her son into the office on her own.

A Qiang is actually a small shareholder of the firm. Their firm is the intermediary of later generations. If you want to buy a house or a car or do some small business but can't find a source of goods, you can go to them.

Knowing that Qin Xiaoyun was going to buy a house for her mother and younger brother, A Qiang immediately took out their notebooks and copied out the house listings according to their requirements.

The previous batch of houses are naturally no longer available, and there are almost no top-notch houses available recently. Fortunately, the Qin family is not looking to buy a luxury house.

The houses that were copied out were basically around Maria College, and the farthest one was only half an hour away by tram.

But if you look at the houses from the east and west, they are far apart.

Qin Xiaoyun remembered that Aqiang could drive, so she could only give him ten dollars to rent a car.

Qin Qinghao stared at the ten dollars, wanting to say something, but finally chose to shut up.

Ten dollars is almost one-third of his father’s salary!

Aqiang's office actually has a car, but it happened to be driven away by the boss today. Because of Qin Qinghai, the agency fee he charged them was already low, so he could still get the ten yuan for the car rental.

He took the money and went out. In less than ten minutes, Aqiang drove the car to the door.

Fortunately, the car has enough space and none of the Qin family members are fat, so it is not crowded.

After walking around for an afternoon, Qin Xiaoyun realized that Maria College was only half an hour away from her villa.
