For someone who had grown up in an environment with a strong preference for boys over girls, Jia Xiufang has made great progress in her thinking.

“Silly girl, what you earn is yours. You and your brother are my children; all my money will belong to you in the future.” Jia Xiufang felt warm being hugged by her daughter, and tears flowed when she thought of her difficult past.

Finally, she could provide a better life for her children; the bitter days were coming to an end.

“Mom, don’t say these things in front of Da Long, especially about money. Never give him the impression that my money is for him. Understand?” Xiao Qian felt the need to be cautious with the playboy.

He was the type to go bad with money and could not rely on his mother forever if he wanted to succeed.

“Qian’er, what should I say if your little brother asks about the money?” Jia Xiufang also felt that her son was too arrogant; if she told him about the money, he would definitely stop studying even harder.

“You can’t hide the demolition issue. How much will we get, how many houses will we get – others will tell him. If that playboy knows we’re getting rich, he will definitely go astray, maybe even go out and mess around with friends. He’s too gullible.”

Xiao Qian’s analysis of her brother was accurate. Chen Wanku was particularly naive, blindly pursuing brotherhood and admiring those in the underworld. He always wanted to do something big, but ended up accomplishing nothing.

“Qian’er, don’t speak so ill of your brother. While you were away at school, your brother always missed you. He’s still young and doesn’t understand things sometimes. But always remember, you two are siblings, and you can always count on each other during tough times.”

Xiao Qian rolled her eyes, “Mom, your thinking is wrong. What do you mean he’s still young? If we don’t discipline that brat, his childishness will never grow up, and I don’t want to clean up his mess later.”

Jia Xiufang wanted to argue back but saw Chen Zilong leaving the yard on his bike, two yellow-haired friends following him on their bikes.

“Da Long, where are you going?” Jia Xiufang opened the window and shouted.

“Mom, we’re going shopping, I’ll be back soon.” Chen Zilong shouted back and rode off, leaving Jia Xiufang fuming. No matter how much she called, he wouldn’t come back.

“That little brat! I told him not to hang out with those messy people, but he wouldn’t listen! I should’ve taken the money in his pocket. Those two must have asked him to treat them to a game. Damn, they’re making me angry!”

Chen Zilong’s earnings, aside from buying gifts for his mother and sister, he kept some for himself. Xiao Qian managed to stop him from playing games, and he didn’t have many expenses. But several of his bad friends kept calling him out to play, and Jia Xiufang couldn’t stop him.

“See, I told you. If you don’t discipline him, he’ll squander your money.”

Chen Zilong wasn’t inherently rotten but rather naive and had a unique middle-schooler characteristic, constantly trying to look cool but acting foolishly.

“I’ll put the money in a fixed deposit.” Jia Xiufang had no one to consult for advice and discussed everything with Xiao Qian.

“I said don’t do fixed deposits. Use the money to buy a house, I’ll tell you where to buy. Don’t buy residential properties, buy commercial ones. Exchange your 200 square meters for as many shops instead. Having two or three residential properties now is useless; how much can you rent them for? You need commercial storefronts; their value would be higher.”

“But where will we live? You don’t have a home, Grandma doesn’t have a home either.” Jia Xiufang was frightened by her daughter’s words.

“Who says I don’t have a house? I can have the three-room apartment which belongs to Grandma, just add some money, and that’s enough.”

According to Xiao Qian’s calculations, after the demolition, Jia Xiufang could have a storefront and a apartment. With the money in hand, she could buy soon-to-be-demolished houses which would then be exchanged for several more houses when they are demolished. Jia Xiufang, in her later years, could live like a rich woman just by relying on rents.

“Oh, I forgot about Grandma!” Jia Xiufang suddenly remembered her mother who had been living with her for half a year. Second Sister-in-law’s family never visited, probably thinking they had taken advantage of the situation. “How is Grandma doing recently?” Xiao Qian asked.

“She’s the same, a bit confused. She asked who Da Long was yesterday, and her speech was all over the place. I went to ask the health center, and they said it’s because of her old age, her dementia is advancing. I wanted to talk to your Second Uncle about this, but he hung up on me. He even let his dog loose to bite me when I went to his house… sigh, what should I do?”

Xiao Qian, seeing her mother so sad, didn’t say anything. She just patted her mother’s back.

Compared to the dementia onset in her past life, Grandma was living better this time. Jia Xiufang had taken great care of the elder, and Grandma had enjoyed some happiness, but life, aging, sickness, and death are things that can’t be changed.

“Qian’er, do you think we can get a share of your Grandma’s house?” Jia Xiufang had been taking care of the elder not for any inheritance, so she didn’t focus too much on getting a house. However, now the demolition is a big issue.

“Mom, you can’t back out now after looking after her for so long; what did your Second Uncle’s family do? Stand your ground; the house has to be ours!”

Xiao Qian was afraid her mother would give up voluntarily, so she deliberately agitated her.

“This isn’t about whether you want to earn the money or not – you, my Eldest Uncle, and my Second Uncle will all have to fight for the house eventually. After being bullied by Second Uncle’s family for so long, taking care of the elder and having them take all the money, it’s time to teach them a lesson. Even if you don’t say anything, my Eldest Uncle will certainly take action.”

Demolition exposes people’s true nature; it’s not just her family, many others fight over family property just like this.

As if proving Xiao Qian’s words, while she was discussing the matter with Jia Xiufang, there was a commotion outside.

Their voices could be heard upstairs. 𝗳r𝚎𝐞w𝐞𝚋𝗻𝗼vel.𝗰o𝐦

“Xiufang! Xiufang, are you home?” Second Maternal Aunt’s voice was piercingly loud, and it was irritating to hear it upstairs.

“I’m here!” Jia Xiufang replied and muttered quietly to Xiao Qian.

“Look, her nose is better than a dog’s, smelling money and coming right over.”

Grandma had been living here for so long, getting sick several times. Jia Xiufang had ridden the tricycle with the old lady, passing by Second Uncle’s house several times, but they never came out to see the old lady or sent her some fruits. They didn’t even visit once.

But as soon as they heard about the demolition, they came.

Jia Xiufang took Xiao Qian downstairs and saw two burly cousins behind Second Maternal Aunt and a fierce-looking Second Uncle..
