After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Cheng Ping counted on his fingers and found that after deducting the money Jiawei had given them in the past two years, the total money they owned in the passbook was only 60,000 yuan.

And these 60,000 yuan are the rent paid by others for renting out the land in my hometown over the years.

Li Jianguo and Cheng Ping definitely could not use the money that Jiawei gave them as a gift to buy a dowry for Xuanbao.

Cheng Ping sighed softly, slowly put down the passbook in his hand, looked at Li Jianguo with a worried look on his face, and asked, "Tell me, we only have 60,000 yuan now, what should we buy for Xuanbao?"

Li Jianguo coughed twice and said, "We can only do what we want with our money. We can't touch the money Jiawei gave us. Otherwise, let's buy Xuanbao a gold bracelet. As parents, we only have this much ability. This is all we can give her."

Cheng Ping nodded slightly, thought for a moment and said, "This is the only way."

As she spoke, she slowly turned around, her eyes fell on Xiao Mingxuan beside her, and whispered: "If Xuanbao remarried..."

But when the words came to her lips, she thought of something and stopped talking. After all, Xiao Mingxuan was getting older and had reached the age where he could remember things. He could understand some things about adults, so it was better not to say some things in front of a child.

This time, Li Jianguo did not continue what Cheng Ping said. He just spoke calmly, "We are our own granddaughter. We should fulfill our responsibilities as her grandparents. Let her handle other matters herself."

Cheng Ping pulled a bitter smile on his face, said nothing more, slowly stood up, walked into the bedroom, and carefully put the passbook away.

Xiao Mingxuan has been in Beijing for a year. At first, Xuanbao came to visit him once a week, then it became once every half a month, and now, Xuanbao has not been seen for three months.

I seem to have gotten used to it now. He used to cry for his mother, but now I rarely hear the word "mother" from him. He just sticks to Cheng Ping and Li Jianguo very closely, and his sensible behavior makes people feel distressed.

After spending such a long time with Li Xuanbao, Cheng Ping gradually noticed Xuanbao's indifference.

Perhaps because of their different living environments, Cheng Ping felt that Xuan Bao was always used to using money to solve various problems, which made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Every time Xuanbao came over, she would say very little to Cheng Ping and the others, except for giving Xiao Mingxuan some living expenses. As time went by, Cheng Ping's heart gradually cooled.

Cheng Ping felt more comfortable getting along with Jiawei. The environment in which Jiawei grew up made her always maintain that rare human touch no matter what situation she was in.

As for Xuanbao's marriage proposal, she just called her and her husband to inform them. Since Xuanbao didn't invite them over, Cheng Ping didn't want to take the initiative to approach her.

Cheng Ping thought that when Li Xuanbao got married, instead of inviting her and her husband, they could just have someone send the prepared gifts over, which would complete their blood relationship with Xuanbao.

As for whether Xuanbao likes the things they bought, that is the thought of her and her husband.

Sometimes, Cheng Ping couldn't help but sigh that the feelings between people are really wonderful. Blood-related relatives may not necessarily have deep feelings, but those who are not related by blood will become closer after spending a long time together, just like her and Jiawei. They are not biological mother and daughter, but they are better than biological mother and daughter.

On the day she was scheduled to meet He Zhizhou's mother, Li Xuanbao had someone do her hair carefully. She has always been very confident about her appearance.

However, He Zhizhou was a unique and special person to her. They loved each other sincerely, but missed more than ten years before they finally got together, so she attached great importance to meeting He Zhizhou's mother today, hoping to leave a good impression on her.

After all, today's meeting is of special significance and is different from the ordinary encounters in the past.

When He Zhizhou came to pick up Li Xuanbao, although he knew that Xuanbao was outstanding in appearance, he was still instantly stunned when he saw her carefully dressed up.

With a gentle smile on his face, he quickly stepped forward, hugged Li Xuanbao's waist intimately, and then gently kissed her smooth forehead, saying affectionately: "You are so beautiful today!"

Li Xuanbao raised her head slightly, a blush on her face, and reached out to carefully adjust He Zhizhou's tie. Then she stood on tiptoe and kissed him quickly on the cheek, smiling and responding, "You look so handsome today!"

The He family lives in the same residential complex as the Li family, but this villa area covers a much larger area.

The Li family's villa is located in a prime location. Therefore, although the He family and the Li family belong to the same community, there is still a certain distance between the two families.

Before she retired, Jiang Qin had been living in a government-allocated house. Now that she has retired, she has moved out of that house and moved into this community.

Although Jiang Qin was somewhat unhappy about her son marrying Li Xuanbao.

But she only has one son, He Zhizhou, and her son is so persistent and steadfast in his love for Li Xuanbao. They have missed each other for more than ten years and he is almost forty years old. It will be too late if he doesn't get married.

Helplessly, she could only put aside her dissatisfaction for the time being and devote herself to preparing for today's banquet to welcome Li Xuanbao.

However, the He family was relatively small. Apart from Jiang Qin, the only elders in the family were her husband's eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law. Both of them were ordinary working class people.

Since her husband passed away, Jiang Qin has not contacted her elder brother and sister-in-law for several years for various reasons.

Now that his son's marriage proposal was coming up, and no one from the Li family was present, Jiang Qin thought that with more family members, the scene would be more lively and festive, which would be better than being cold and deserted, making Li Xuanbao feel shabby.

After much thought, Jiang Qin decided to call He Zhizhou's uncle and aunt, inviting them to come and join in the fun and make the meeting more formal.

However, He Hongfeng and Meng Li, a couple, naturally readily agreed to Jiang Qin's phone call and invitation to support their nephew He Zhizhou's marriage proposal.

Not to mention how much affection they have for He Zhizhou, let's just say one thing: if they can take this opportunity to repair their relationship with Jiang Qin, if they need Jiang Qin's help in the future and ask her for help, she will lend a helping hand for the sake of the relationship between the two families and the current eased relationship.

In terms of housework, Meng Li and Jiang Qin are two completely different extremes. Jiang Qin has lived in a wealthy environment for a long time and has always had a nanny to take care of her daily life, so she has basically never done housework by herself and is not familiar with housework.
