Chapter 1264: Chapter 1264: The Cheng Family Next Door Wants to Sell Their House

By the time they got home, Elder Rong and Rong Daniang had already washed the vegetables and cut the meat, preparing for the hot pot dinner they had agreed on in the morning.

"That Tiger Bone Liquor, your cousin-in-law Jiaming came to pick it up," Rong Daniang said as she washed the hands of the younger ones.

Luo Qiao was wiping the kids’ hands nearby: "Okay, I got it."

Rong Daniang looked up at Luo Qiao, hesitated for a moment, and still said, "He mentioned that if possible, you should go see your uncle and aunt."

Luo Qiao paused, saying nothing.

She did not want to go: although they were her elders, their repeated use of seniority to pressure others really made her displeased and quite resentful.

No matter what their reasons, as elders, they should be more committed to keeping their promises, rather than repeatedly treating the younger generation like children, without considering their wishes.

Fearing that the kids might get heaty from the hot pot, Rong Daniang directly prepared a lean meat and vegetable porridge for them. She brought it over: "You guys have the porridge first, later you can eat a little bit of the meatballs from the hot pot, just to satisfy your craving, but don’t treat it as the main meal."

While they were eating, Rong Daniang mentioned casually, "The Cheng Family next door is selling their house?"

Luo Qiao swallowed the meat in her mouth: "Who told you that?"

Rong Daniang had just chopped up a meatball for little Xiao Ye, ready to feed him: "Someone came to view the house today, they complained that the asking price was too high. I overheard them haggling at the front gate, and later the daughter-in-law from the Sun Family next door came back and chatted, also saying that the Cheng Family wants to sell their house."

Luo Qiao looked at Lu Yichen: "Do you know about this?"

Lu Yichen, while picking Luo Qiao’s favourite duck blood and mushrooms for her: "The Cheng Family’s second son was instigated by others, quit his job wanting to enter the transport business. He used all the family’s savings, even borrowed some from relatives, to buy a truck.

A little while ago, he made a long-haul trip. On the way back, he might have been driving fatigued, and ended up crashing into a van ahead. The passengers sitting in the back were severely injured and are still in the hospital."

Elder Rong patted her chest: "We have to be more careful in the future. If you’re tired, you mustn’t drive, find a place to rest for a bit. It won’t delay much time."

Luo Qiao thought for a while: "How much are they selling that house for now? If the price is right, we can buy it and rent it out as a form of fixed asset."

In fact, what she was considering was to avoid any more troublesome neighbors in the future.

Lu Yichen looked at Luo Qiao with a smile in the corner of his mouth: "Okay, I’ll have someone handle it."

How could he not understand his little wife’s thoughts? He had the same idea, considering they had many children, it’s always right to have extra houses on hand.

What he didn’t know was that his wife had already accumulated a lot of houses previously, but she had left them to Xu Shifan to manage, and they were all now earning rental income.

All those properties had been renovated in advance, so the rent was truly not cheap. Plus, the rental contracts were crystal clear: no unauthorized alterations to the house were allowed, and the rooms had to be kept clean. Any violations would result in immediate repossession of the house and compensation for damages.

So, to avoid trouble, Xu Shifan was particularly picky with tenants, and over the years, the properties were indeed well maintained.

Actually, Luo Qiao had brought up the matter of the houses to Lu Yichen before, but he was unaware of just how many properties his wife owned.

In the morning, Luo Qiao let the children play in the backyard playground by themselves while she helped Elder Rong make glutinous rice balls in the kitchen.

When Lu Yichen returned around noon, he was smiling as he handed Luo Qiao a property title deed.

Luo Qiao took it, opened it with a smile, and sure enough, the ownership of the Cheng Family’s house next door had been transferred. The title deed bore Luo Qiao’s name. She happily stood on tiptoe and kissed Lu Yichen on the cheek: "Thank you, Brother Chen."

Lu Yichen hugged her with a smile: "As long as you’re happy. And someone will be moving in tomorrow, but for the time being, we won’t let people know the house is ours."

Luo Qiao nodded: "Sure, Brother Chen, you do what you think is best."

Lu Yichen saw the smile still on Luo Qiao’s face: "Do you like buying houses that much?"

Luo Qiao closed the title deed: "Didn’t you see how the property prices in Capital City have been soaring these past few years? Hoarding properties feels safer than other investments."
