Chapter 404: Still Asking for Money
On Saturday, she packed her bag ready to head home. The other classmates in her dorm who also come from modest backgrounds were quite envious when they saw Qin Xiangmei getting ready to leave.
"Xiang Mei, you’re going home again?"
"Yes," Qin Xiangmei responded verbally while feeling quite a bit of superiority and pride inside.
"It’s convenient since my family has a house in Capital City that I can go back to on weekends."
How wonderful it must be, her roommate said with a hint of bitterness, "We don’t have anywhere to go on the weekends, but you’re lucky, you can stay at your family’s place. The real estate prices in Capital City are not low at all. By the way, Xiang Mei, where is your family’s house exactly?" A curious classmate asked.
"It’s a small Siheyuan," said Qin Xiangmei modestly, yet inside she was bursting with pride and couldn’t stop the feeling from exploding in her eyes.
A Siheyuan? Hearing this, all the classmates were taken aback.
A Siheyuan was formerly a residence for the nobility during the Qing dynasty, and nowadays owning one is quite expensive, worth tens to hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Hearing these figures made Qin Xiangmei uncomfortable. She wished that Siheyuan was hers. If only Qin Xiangnuan had the capability. With all her supposed abilities, why couldn’t she afford a Siheyuan? She could sell it for a few hundred thousand yuan.
With that kind of money, she could do anything she wished, instead of having to tightly budget her allowance every day.
