Chapter 532: Chapter 532: Guard Duty
“If we move sowhere else, we’ll still have to take a bus.”
But Lu Youxi had said before that the scale of the restaurant was definitely going to expand, and if it could beco a chain, Liu Yushu and Grandma Xu would need their own offices rather than commuting to the restaurant every day.
By then, they would still have to take a bus.
However, for the ti being, Liu Yushu and Grandma Xu found it more convenient to live here, and the restaurant chain was not sothing that could be completed in the near future.
So Lu Youxi followed Liu Yushu and Grandma Xu’s wishes and did not make them move.
Instead, she found an agent and bought a larger house in the sa neighborhood.
The original house was rented, and she gave her room to Grandma Xu.
Now she bought a bigger one and left one room vacant, so she could stay there when she returned.
The village chief also took advantage of the previous sumr vacation to bring his wife and son over to play and looked at houses with his wife.
They considered their budget, the location, and the size of the house.
In the end, they chose a three-bedroom resale.
The village chief had made quite a profit from Hexing Rice and paid the down paynt, while the rest was mortgaged through the bank.
Lu Youxi also reminded the village chief that even if he had the money, there was no need to pay off the mortgage early, just pay it off slowly.
If you have extra cash on hand, it’s better to invest in more properties, buying as many as you can afford, as it certainly won’t lose value.
The village chief really took Lu Youxi’s advice to heart.
Now his family could live such a good life, able to bring his wife and son to live in the Imperial Capital, and even buy a house there.
These were things he never dared to dream of before.
But because of Lu Youxi, he actually managed to achieve them.
The village chief knew this had completely changed Fang Yanshun’s life.
If it had been before, he would still be the village chief of Hexing Village and never manage to co to such a big city for the rest of his life.
Even if Yanshun managed to attend college and co to the city, and stayed in the city after graduation,
He would just be an ordinary office worker in the Imperial Capital, renting an apartnt.
After paying rent, not much of his monthly salary would be left, and then there would still be utility bills to pay and all sorts of daily living expenses, plus the cost of food and drinks.
He would almost be living paycheck to paycheck; how could he possibly save enough to buy a house?
If Lu Youxi hadn’t led them to sell Hexing Rice, they wouldn’t have been able to save up enough money to help Yanshun buy a house based on the little inco from Xing Village.
Their family, including Yanshun’s life, seed to have a foreseeable end.
But now it was different.
Everyone in Hexing Village was starting to discuss building two-story villas.
They didn’t need to be luxurious, but they were decent enough, and certainly a vast improvent over the crumbling walls of the past.
And here in the Imperial Capital, he bought a house; when Yanshun graduated, whether he joined Hexing Rice or sought a job according to his own interests,
At least they wouldn’t have to worry about rent or buying a house anymore.
He listened to Lu Youxi; once they had enough money, they would buy another property.
Even if not for investnt, it could be kept for Yanshun’s use when he got married.
The village chief had never dread that he could live such a wealthy life now.
Lu Youxi, aside from buying a house in the neighborhood she currently lived in, also looked at so new ones under construction.
She picked out two with relatively good locations and bought a house in each.
She, too, wanted to buy more, but her finances didn’t allow it for the mont.
She could only afford to buy three at once.
She would reserve the other two; when Liu Yushu and Grandma Xu no longer needed to commute to the restaurant every day, she would have them move there.
The new neighborhoods had a better living environnt too.
All this was unknown to Lu Youzhen.
Lu Youzhen followed Mrs. Lin and Lin Jingshen out of the car and into the building.
Mrs. Lin pressed for the 10th floor.
Lu Youzhen couldn’t hide the joy and pride in her expression.
The old apartnt she rented didn’t even have an elevator.
But here, the elevator was spacious and brightly lit.
From the mont she stepped in, she felt a sense of superiority.
It wasn’t until they exited the elevator and entered the ho with Mrs. Lin that the nutritionist and the nanny hired by Mrs. Lin were already waiting inside.
The nanny had cleaned the house in advance.
Seeing them enter, she hurried over.
“You will stay here for your confinent and give birth to the child,” Mrs. Lin said coldly to Lu Youzhen. “This is the nutritionist, and this is the nanny responsible for taking care of you.”
“If you want to eat sothing, you must ask the nutritionist first. You can eat it only if the nutritionist agrees; otherwise, you cannot,” Mrs. Lin said coldly.
Lu Youzhen imdiately expressed her dissatisfaction, “How is this any different from being in prison?”
“In prison, can you eat delicacies from the mountains and the seas, take all sorts of tonics? And can you live in such a big house, with a nutritionist and nanny to serve you?” Mrs. Lin retorted coldly.
“If you’re not willing, that’s fine. Just don’t co to regret it later if there’s sothing wrong with the child,” Mrs. Lin said icily.
“You hid your pregnancy from us for the first eight months. What experience do you have taking care of yourself? What you ate may not be appropriate; you probably didn’t even do prenatal education,” Mrs. Lin stated. “Now we’re down to this bit of ti left; let the nutritionist try to get you as healthy as possible, make up for what you can – and you’re still not happy?”
Lu Youzhen hadn’t expected that Mrs. Lin was actually concerned for her wellbeing, so she said, “I understand.”
“Just rest well here,” said Mrs. Lin. “Let the nanny know if you need anything. I will have the driver bring it over.”
“Until you give birth, just stay here quietly. If there’s nothing necessary, don’t go outside,” Mrs. Lin continued. “Especially now that you’re so far along and close to giving birth, this is the most critical ti.”
“A little stress or an accidental bump and you could end up in the hospital,” Mrs. Lin warned. “So you’d better be careful.”
“If sothing happens to the child, our Lin family won’t care,” Mrs. Lin said coldly. “But you would lose your biggest bargaining chip against us.”
“So, make your own decision. If you insist on going out and sothing happens, don’t regret it,” Mrs. Lin threatened.
Lu Youzhen, clutching her belly, felt a chill throughout her body for a mont, “Are you threatening ? If I go out, will you harm ?”
“Of course not,” Mrs. Lin raised an eyebrow. “What kind of person do you think I am? We, the Lin family, are law-abiding citizens.”
“Anyway, just rest well here,” Mrs. Lin said. “If I really wanted to harm you, I wouldn’t have brought you here.”
Lu Youzhen frowned slightly; there was reason in what Mrs. Lin said.
Perhaps it was her pregnancy making her paranoid.
“Just stay here, and I have to go to work now,” Lin Jingshen grudgingly said, rembering the instructions from Mrs. Lin and Lin Zhenghao. “Tell if you need anything.”
Lu Youzhen thought to herself, had Lin Jingshen suddenly co to his senses?
Last night he was disgusted with her, even thought of laying a hand on her, but today his attitude had completely changed.
“Okay,” Lu Youzhen considered, then said, “Co over after you finish work then, I have sothing to tell you.”
