Qin Wenze wanted to see his son and daughter, but they were upstairs.
He called for them a few times, but they didn’t come down.
So he just went home.
After her eldest son left, Mrs. Qin suddenly remembered something. "Oh no. That fool isn’t going to tell his wife about Fu Mingxue buying a house, is he?"
Mr. Qin was puzzled. "So what if he does? It’s not like Fu Mingxue stole or robbed to buy the house. What’s there to hide?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Qin couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
"You think just like your eldest son. Gao Lan is already jealous of the courtyard house Fu Mingxue lives in. If she finds out Mingxue bought the house next door, won’t she get even more jealous?"
Mr. Qin: ...?
’What’s there to be jealous about?’
He was very puzzled.
’You do what you’re capable of doing.’
’If they had the money and the means, they could just buy one themselves. Why be jealous of other people?’
’Then there’s Fu Mingxue’s high monthly salary. Is she supposed to be jealous of that too?’
***
However, Mrs. Qin had guessed wrong. Qin Wenze didn’t mention the house when he went home.
But Gao Lan found out anyway.
That afternoon, Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Fu were at the new courtyard house, cleaning and tidying up, and plenty of neighbors saw them.
One of the onlookers was a nanny who worked for one of the neighboring families.
As luck would have it, she was a relative of Gao Lan’s.
She told the story as soon as she got home that afternoon.
The moment Mrs. Gao heard that her daughter’s sister-in-law had actually bought the house next door, she was livid.
She hopped on her bicycle and frantically pedaled over to Gao Lan’s place.
