The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 731 - 715: I Am Not a Slut 26

Xiao Yuan and Mr. Xiao eventually decided to hide these items first, as they couldn’t let Mother Xiao, Xiao Yufeng, and Xiao Yumei know about it.

However, Xiao Yuan thought that now that the family had money, there was no need to let the three sisters work outside anymore. The sisters were getting older, and constantly drifting around outside wasn’t good.

He planned to have all three sisters come home and rest for a while.

Furthermore, Xiao Yuan and Mr. Xiao had discussed buying a house in the county.

His idea was to buy each of the three sisters a house in the county, the location and type of house were to be decided based on the sisters’ preferences.

Also, the family’s house needed to be rebuilt. The family’s house was old and actually uncomfortable to live in. Originally, without money, it was impossible to build a new house, so they had to make do. But now that they had money, they had to build a new house.

Since they decided to build, Xiao Yuan’s idea was to construct a villa, make it a bit bigger, build it into three floors with more rooms. So later, when the sisters married and returned to their maternal home, they would have rooms to stay in, and even when Xiao Yuan got married, there wouldn’t be a lack of space for the New Year’s visit.

Mr. Xiao had money on his mind; he couldn’t even begin to calculate how much that box of items was worth.

Since he felt that he had more money, Mr. Xiao naturally wouldn’t treat his daughters unfairly, of course, most of the money still had to be saved for Xiao Yuan.

After all, Xiao Yuan was the one who took the contract for the Water reservoir, and these items were found after the contract, so they were effectively Xiao Yuan’s possessions. If Xiao Yuan wanted to buy houses for his sisters, it was out of his generosity, and Mr. Xiao wouldn’t demand too much.

In addition, Mr. Xiao still held some old-fashioned beliefs, thinking that he must rely on his son to provide for him in his old age and that daughters could just lend a hand and not expect anything more.

So, for now, he wasn’t going to cling to the family money to provide for his daughters.

As for building a house, Mr. Xiao hadn’t just thought about it for a day or two. Now that Xiao Yuan had proposed building a house, he was naturally happy about it.

Whatever Xiao Yuan said, Mr. Xiao agreed enthusiastically, constantly saying "good, very good."

That night, Xiao Yuan and Mr. Xiao hardly slept.

The next day, Xiao Yuan drove out with the piece of Emperor Green jade and more than a dozen gold bars.

He was heading to the Provincial City because it was unlikely these items would fetch a good price in the county or the city; they should be able to be sold in the Provincial City.

Xiao Yuan was versed in many tricks; he had spent a lifetime in the Dark World, so if he wanted to sell something, he would definitely find a way.

Once in the Provincial City, Xiao Yuan quickly found a jewelry company and sold the gold and jade.

When he returned home in the evening, he saw Mr. Xiao waiting eagerly for him at the entrance of the village.

Xiao Yuan stopped the car, let Mr. Xiao in, and while driving back, he said, "Sold, the gold for more than one and a half million, the jade for nearly ninety million."

Previously, when Xiao Yuan had talked about the value of these items, Mr. Xiao felt nervous and as if he was in a dream, an unreal feeling.

But now the items were sold, and the money in hand made him feel real joy, a sort of ecstasy that nearly overwhelmed him.

Mr. Xiao, afraid that too much happiness would raise his blood pressure or cause some other issue, slapped himself hard on the face to calm down.

"Dad, I’ll hold onto the money for now. I’ll transfer two million to your bank account in a bit, that’s for building the house and planting trees on the mountain and such expenses. If it’s not enough, just let me know, I’ll handle the matter of buying houses for my sisters."

It’s not that Xiao Yuan insisted on holding the money; he was afraid that there might be trouble if Mr. Xiao held onto it.

There were many people who, when going from rags to riches, could not resist temptation and made lifelong regrettable mistakes.

Xiao Yuan did not want Mr. Xiao to get the money and lose control, so it was better for him to keep it.

In fact, Mr. Xiao was not foolish, and given his age, having seen many things in life, he wasn’t going to be rash just because he suddenly came into a large sum of money. However, he also had a bit of disbelief in himself.

Additionally, Mr. Xiao held the belief that no matter how much money the family had, it was ultimately meant for his son, so Xiao Yuan taking the money was not a problem.

"You take it, and those other things too, take them with you when you leave, I don’t dare to keep them in the house, just in case..."

"Okay."

Xiao Yuan also had this intention. He wanted to take away the three pieces of porcelain, as well as the remaining jade stones, and sell them in N City.

Upon returning home, neither Mr. Xiao nor Xiao Yuan mentioned this matter to the women of the family, nor did they talk about the wealth they had gained.

The family spent two joyful days together like this, and then Xiao Yuan brought up the matter of buying houses for his three sisters.

Previously, Mr. Xiao had made a phone call to Xiao Yuzhu, asking her to resign and come home.

Once Xiao Yuzhu returned, Xiao Yuan drove his three sisters to the county.

After a day of going around, the four siblings finally found a housing complex that was already built and on sale. This complex was close to the county’s No.1 Middle School, surrounded by a large park, two neighborhood parks, and it was also near a hospital and a supermarket – it could be considered an especially well-located complex within the county.

Of course, the housing prices here were not low.

Even in such a small county, the housing prices were several thousands.

The prices in other complexes were indeed cheaper, but those were not ready-to-move-in, and their locations were not as good as this one.

The four siblings looked at the floor plans and also personally inspected the show houses; they all felt they were quite nice, but Xiao Yufeng felt it was a bit too expensive.

After discussing with Xiao Yumei, she said to Xiao Yuan: "If it’s not affordable, let’s not buy it. This is so much money, hundreds of thousands for just one apartment, it’s just too..."

She and Xiao Yumei were concerned for Xiao Yuan, afraid of causing unnecessary burdens on their younger brother.

Xiao Yuan laughed: "Don’t worry, I have money now, and buying three apartments is still within my means. Besides, all of you are already of age to settle down. Instead of waiting to buy after getting into a relationship, it’s better to buy in advance. In doing so, the property becomes premarital assets, so no matter what happens in the future, it remains yours alone, and no one can take it away."

Xiao Yuzhu felt that what Xiao Yuan said was very reasonable.

She was genuinely grateful to Xiao Yuan, feeling that him buying the houses was for their best interest and consideration.

After all, having their own home would improve their conditions when looking for a partner, they could aim for a better match, and having property in their own name would also give them confidence in their married life.

She chuckled and gave Xiao Yufeng a nudge: "Sister, A Yuan knows what he’s doing. If he thinks it’s okay, then it’s okay."

Xiao Yufeng fell silent after that.

Seeing that none of his sisters had any preferences, probably because they were afraid they would put him in a tough spot by being picky, Xiao Yuan decided on his own to choose their apartments for them.

He picked the same type of apartment for all three sisters, which were the largest ones in the complex. Each had a size of over 140 square meters with three bedrooms. And the three apartments were in the same building, same unit, just on different floors. In the future, if they wanted to visit each other, it would just be a matter of going up or down a few floors.

After choosing the apartments, Xiao Yuan made the payment in full, and then there was the matter of handling the property deeds.

When the procedures were finished and Xiao Yuan was driving his three sisters back home, their demeanor was clearly different from when they had arrived.

When they came, they must have felt somewhat nervous and apprehensive, but now that the houses were bought, their mood was truly different.

All three sisters were very excited, chattering nonstop all the way home.
