Chapter 607: Chapter 607: A Spray of Spit Could Knock Him Out

After the resumption of the college entrance exams, many Educated Youths were able to test back into the city, and those who didn’t make it back through the exams also trickled back in overtime.

Housing was still scarce in the city.

However, for those who had gotten into trouble before, some of their houses and properties were being returned to them.

But some had already been sold off.

Nowadays, hardly anyone wanted to sell their house.

Meanwhile.

After getting off work, Wang Jianguo went to the Yuntian Clothing Store to find Zhao Xinxin.

"Xinxin, there’s something, I don’t know if I should bring it up?"

Today, Wang Jianguo had been mulling over this issue whenever he had a chance, feeling that it might seem ungrateful to speak out.

He was pursuing a wife, yet expected his wife to buy a house.

If word got out, the spit from those around him could knock him out cold.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have wrestled with it for so long.

He didn’t even know how to broach the subject.

"You have something to tell me?"

Wang Jianguo looked up at the sky, glancing around, feeling this nervous for the first time.

He felt somewhat ashamed about what he was about to say.

"Go ahead, I’m listening."

His date responded so openly, but he felt a bit awkward.

"My mother, she wants you to buy a set of rooms."

After saying it, Wang Jianguo didn’t dare look at Zhao Xinxin, fearing she might scold him.

Or that he might catch her mocking glance.

"I know."

Know?

Wang Jianguo turned to look at Zhao Xinxin, momentarily stunned.

"My mother went to find you about it."

At home, it was only the three of them now.

His father would never go and talk about this in front of Xinxin.

And he had just mentioned it.

By process of elimination, it left only his mother.

This made Wang Jianguo feel even more guilty.

He had already found it difficult to bring up the matter of the house.

He had agreed yesterday wholeheartedly, thinking to himself that he had money, Xinxin had money, and together they could buy a small Courtyard House to placate his mother.

He had been planning to come clean and say that the house would be registered in Xinxin’s name as compensation for her embarrassment.

Little did he expect that his mother would actually go to Xinxin to talk about the same matter.

"Auntie came to me about this, saying that once I bought the house, she would agree to let me marry into your family, and even told me to put the house in my name."

Zhao Xinxin wasn’t angry.

If this matter involved registering the house in the Wang Family’s name, she might have been angry.

After all, in those days, owning a house was a big deal.

It took a lot of nerve to ask her to buy one.

She guessed that the auntie still minded her status as a divorcee.

"Xinxin, if you want to buy a house, I support you. After buying a house, you can register it at your address, and I have money to help you with the purchase."

Wang Jianguo rushed to say his piece, afraid that if he didn’t, his girlfriend might slip away.

He definitely needed to secure this relationship.

If not, his two uncles, upon hearing about this, would really make sure she broke it off with him.

Anyone would fear the outcome would not be good if they were in his shoes.

"You keep your money for yourself!"

"Xinxin, are you mad at me? You don’t want to accept my support?"

Mad?

At first, she was a bit angry.

But it was Mrs. Wang who gave her the idea to buy a house in the first place.

A house here could only appreciate in value.

Now, Zhao Xinxin also understood what appreciation meant.

"No, you should use your money yourself."

Zhao Xinxin shifted the topic, "School has started, and I might be a bit busy."

Starting night school?

"I’ll come to pick you up."

Wang Jianguo had a bicycle, but he wanted to escort his girlfriend after work to spend more time talking to her.

Their daily meetings were just the trips after work back to the Courtyard House, which is why Wang Jianguo didn’t use his bicycle.
