Chapter 1209 The Wonderful Uses of Spending Money
The nephew took the pocket money given to him by his aunt without a care in the world, while Linghua felt embarrassed.
Once outside, Linghua whispered, "How could you take your aunt's money? Although her salary isn't low, she's still a civil servant. If you want to behave properly, you can't have problems with money."
Linghua's first thought was whether it would cause trouble for her aunt.
Liang Cheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, my aunt and uncle are doing quite well financially. The fact that she's willing to give it to me proves there's no problem. Come on, let me take you shopping."
Linghua asked suspiciously, "You seem to know how to handle it so well. Do you often take pocket money from your aunt?"
Liang Cheng chuckled: "My aunt has been giving me money since I was little. I'm the youngest in the family, so I get a lot of red envelopes and pocket money. I'm not bragging, but I've saved up hundreds of thousands of yuan in pocket money and bought myself a house."
Linghua stared in disbelief: "So much pocket money?"
Liang Cheng nodded: "That's quite a lot."
Linghua smiled and said, "You have a lot of pocket money, but you don't spend it recklessly. You can even save it up to buy a house. You have a good head for business."
Liang Cheng said proudly, "Of course! At that time, I saw that many people did not have houses and that it was becoming increasingly difficult to allocate houses, so I paid special attention to housing."
"Where is the house? Is it safe to live in?" Linghua asked curiously.
Liang Cheng asked in surprise, "Would you like to go and take a look? That house is rather dilapidated; it's a small courtyard house."
"Huh?" Linghua was taken aback. "It's a courtyard house?"
Liang Cheng nodded: "Yes, someone urgently needs money to go abroad, and I happen to have 660,000 yuan on hand. The main house has three rooms, one side is a wall, and the other side has two small rooms. The yard is about 40 or 50 square meters."
"Why not renovate?" Linghua asked curiously. "If you don't mind, I can pay for the renovation."
Liang Cheng shook his head: "No need for renovations. I heard that the area is going to be demolished soon. The house area and yard area have all been measured. It will be demolished soon. I will be allocated a three-bedroom house and a two-bedroom house. I took the two adjacent houses. When we get married, we can combine the two houses. That way you can have more space to make a walk-in closet."
Linghua exclaimed in surprise, "They can even demolish and redevelop the place?"
Liang Cheng laughed: "Of course! Not only that, I also have several hundred thousand yuan in compensation. However, I think it's better to buy houses than to keep the money in my hands, so I bought some cheaper houses in some areas that are planned for future development. The old houses are relatively remote, and I think the city will develop rapidly in the future, so they should be demolished again."
Linghua laughed and said, "You think you can get rich just by getting your property demolished? Isn't that considered taking advantage of loopholes?"
Liang Cheng nodded: "I guess so! I usually hear my family talking about future plans, and I also like to watch the news. I watch national news, Beijing news, and local news from where I work without fail. I analyzed it myself, so it's not like I was taking advantage of a loophole."
"As long as it's legal!" Linghua blinked. "If you're buying a house, should I buy some houses as an investment?"
Liang Cheng thought for a moment and said, "If you have spare money, you can buy it. With our accession to the WTO and full participation in global competition, our economy will develop rapidly. Beijing not only has the characteristics of the capital city but also has many universities, and many companies will come here in the future. Therefore, the housing prices here will definitely be very high."
Linghua nodded: "Okay, let's go buy a house now."
Liang Cheng didn't want to spend his precious time buying a house; he wanted to go on a date. "Linghua, we don't need to look for houses one by one. How about this, let's eat, drink, and have some fun tonight. After you visit my house tomorrow, I'll introduce you to a friend of mine in the afternoon. He's my childhood friend. He now runs a real estate agency. Just tell him what kind of house you want, and he'll help you find one. You can come over and have a specific purpose in mind, then sign the papers and complete the paperwork."
Hearing Liang Cheng say this, Linghua nodded: "Okay, your idea is very good."
It was only a little past four when I came out of the TV station.
Liang Cheng took Linghua out for a stroll, then had dinner at the mall, and bought her a few outfits. This was the usual routine; once they were officially in a relationship, they would buy her clothes.
Liang Cheng was very humorous, and since they were already in a relationship, he was even more carefree, making Linghua laugh out loud.
Linghua is someone who laughs very easily, so when she meets a humorous person, she's always smiling.
That evening, Liang Cheng delivered the gifts to Linghua's house. Linghua poured Liang Cheng a glass of water: "Have some, and help me decide if these gifts I brought are any good!"
Liang Cheng took the water glass, drank half of it, and watched Linghua pull out her suitcase, which contained boxes of various sizes.
"You brought so many gifts!" Liang Cheng exclaimed in surprise. "Judging from the packaging and brands, they must be very expensive, right?"
Linghua smiled and said, "My cousin said it's never a bad thing to bring gifts! It's the first time you visit, so I couldn't come empty-handed! I specifically asked her to help me choose these gifts! For female relatives and elders, pearl necklaces, pearl earrings, and pearl rings are sure to be nice! As for working men, tie clips, belts, or pens are also very suitable! For the children, pretty hair clips or figurines are good for girls, and some mechanical toys or Transformers are good for boys. I didn't dare give them games, afraid they'd interfere with their studies!"
Liang Cheng was deeply moved. Only someone who put their heart into it would consider all aspects: "Linghua, thank you!"
Linghua smiled and said, "You're welcome! As you just told me, Grandma called a lot of relatives, so we prepared more gifts and had something to say!"
Liang Cheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, you'll receive plenty of gifts for your first visit! Even if you don't receive any gifts, you'll still get a red envelope!"
Linghua smiled and nodded: "My cousin told me! If they give it to me, it's their way of showing their appreciation; if they don't, I don't care! I'm dating you, not them!"
Liang Cheng shook his head: "That won't do! What are the old rules? Then we'll follow the rules! If others have it, you must have it too! It's not about the quantity of things, but about the manners and the sincerity! If they don't follow the rules, they're not seeing through you, they're looking down on me!"
In Liang Cheng's view, bringing Linghua back was to prove to everyone that Linghua was the person he loved and the person he chose.
Respecting the water chestnut is respecting him; disrespecting the water chestnut is disrespecting him. This is self-evident.
Hearing Liang Cheng say that, Linghua smiled and nodded, "My cousin said the same thing!"
Every gift was carefully selected, and Liang Cheng could tell that. All of his immediate family members and children received a gift.
Liang Cheng embraced Linghua and kissed her passionately, almost losing control, but Linghua stopped him at the last moment.
"Can we stay tonight?" Liang Cheng was determined to marry Linghua, and his male desire made him unable to resist asking the question.
Linghua shook her head: "No!"
