Chapter 1112: Refuse to Accept This Dowry

“You’re just helping us carry the items. Nan Nan and I chose everything. Why are you complaining so much?” At the thought that her daughter could not provide any useful opinions at all, Miao Jing felt sullen.

Although she had a ‘fake’ daughter, fortunately, she had a caring daughter-in-law now.

Otherwise, the huge pleasure derived from shopping would be greatly discounted if a woman did not have a like-minded person to accompany them. A meaningful matter would also become meaningless.

“Humph!” Zhai Hua felt indignant and snorted.

“Mom, how’s the blind date arrangements for Sister Zhai Hua?” Qiao Nan was sitting down, resting and drinking water, when she thought of the important event in Zhai Hua’s life.

Previously, when she and Brother Zhai got married, the Tian family sent someone to pass them the gifts and also dropped some hints.

Now, the Zhai family was already in the capital but they had not seen the Tian family.

The situation of the Tian family was a little complicated. To the Zhai family, it was quite sensitive. Since Zhai Hua was willing to believe, of course, Qiao Nan would give her support.

One had to know that Zhai Hua had looked for her to tap on ideas for having a child half a month ago. The most feasible suggestion that Qiao Nan had given was for Zhai Hua to put in some effort to go on blind dates and find a suitable marriage partner as soon as possible. In that case, she would not need to feel troubled over the problem of having a baby.

Miao Jing glanced at her daughter, feeling disheartened. “We cannot rush this matter. We have just arrived for two days. Let’s talk about it again in March.”

The bystander was more worried than the party concerned. Zhai Hua still looked like she did not care at all. “Don’t worry. The Lunar New Year is already over. There is no difference in waiting for one or two more months. I don’t believe that I will be left on the shelves!”

In the past, she did not have such thoughts. Hence, she did not have any boyfriend.

If she really had the intent, she did not believe that she could not take down or seduce the man that she liked. Zhai Hua expressed that she could also defeat the person physically and grab him home.

Miao Jing curled corners of her lips as she sneered. “I hope so.”

Zhai Sheng was married and she was very satisfied with the wife he got. Now, she was going to place her focus on Zhai Hua, this daughter. “Nan Nan, you’re not going to stay in the school this semester, right? Come back and stay with us, okay?”

At the mention of this topic, Qiao Nan hesitated for a while. “My master’s house is nearer to Peking University. If I come back to stay, it will most probably be a little troublesome to rush here and there.”

“What do you mean by your master’s house? That’s already your house.” Zhai Hua gasped. “Qiao Nan, you’re so lucky. Elder Lin treats you extremely well. He dotes on you like he would his daughter.”

“That house belongs to me now?” Qiao Nan widened her eyes in disbelief. “When did that happen? Why didn’t I know about this? I don’t agree!”

The house in the capital was located near the schools. It was also a small quad!

Given the circumstances, the property price for this house would hit the sky ten years later.

“No, I don’t agree. I don’t want it. I have to return it to my master. His action is absurd!” Qiao Nan’s face stiffened. She had settled the house in Ping Cheng after much difficulty by formally donating it to Ping Cheng High School. Who would know that there would be another house now?

Miao Jing was very surprised that Qiao Nan declined it so thoroughly. At the same time, she admired Qiao Nan’s determination and persistence. “Nan Nan, this is the dowry that Elder Lin gave you.”

“I don’t want it.” Qiao Nan continued to decline. Her master could give it to her but she could choose not to accept.

This was a house. Could one casually give it away? And could she just accept it?

Qiao Nan took her phone and called the Lin family in Ping Cheng. “Master, it’s me. Yes, I am aware now. I am calling you because of that house. I am not accepting it. Not accepting it. One should not reject the elders’ good intentions? Master, don’t forget. You have already given me a dowry. What’s the logic in giving a second batch after the first one? Master, don’t be stubborn. I won’t take it…”

Both master and disciple had tempers.

One insisted to give while the other refused to accept. The master-disciple pair simply argued over the phone.

“What do you know!” Elder Lin’s face was red as he argued. “After the Zhai family joined the central government, they most likely won’t come back for more than ten years. You don’t have any family in the capital. Let me ask you. If you have arguments with Zhai Sheng in the future and run away from your in-law’s family, where can you stay? You’re not staying in school now. Hence, you can’t even go back there. Even if you make some arrangements now, are you going to return to the school to stay after graduation? You’re a lady. You should have backings in whatever you do. No one will dare to bully you then.”

Lin Yuankang had so many good things in his hands. The people in the Lin family were drooling after them.

However, these items belonged to Lin Yuankang. As long as Lin Yuankang was unwilling to let go of them, it did not have anything to do with the rest of the Lin family regardless of how wealthy Lin Yuankang was.

Lin Yuankang was childless. Hence, he did not need to consider or make plans like a typical person.

He had so much wealth but he did not have anyone in mind who could inherit them. An average person would not be able to understand the pain in his heart.

He finally accepted Qiao Nan, a disciple that he liked very much. Lin Yuankang really cared for and treated Qiao Nan like his own daughter or granddaughter.

There was no need for Qiao Nan to yearn after Lin Yuankang’s belongings. From time to time, Lin Yuankang would review his belongings and see which of them were suitable for Qiao Nan. He would then silently stuff them into Qiao Nan’s pockets.

As an unmarried man, Lin Yuankang did not know much about what he had just said. However, he had heard it from many people.

Every couple would have arguments.

If the woman wanted to be confident and not lose out in the in-law family, the maternal family had to give her support.

At the very least, she should have a place to stay if she were to leave the in-law’s house.

Lin Yuankang also had a lot of spare time. He heard of such content from the radio.

Hence, he had been pinching fingers and counting. He then decided to give this small quad located near Peking University to Qiao Nan as her dowry.

In that case, if Qiao Nan argued with or was sick of staying with the Zhai family, she had another place to return to. Wasn’t that quite a good arrangement too?

“…” Qiao Nan could not retort Lin Yuankang’s words. She could not guarantee that she and Zhai Sheng would not have any arguments in this lifetime. “Master, I appreciate your kind intentions. When I graduate, I will take on a job and work hard to earn money. If there is a need, I will definitely buy a house with my own means. When that time comes, master, do come to my house to play.”

Purchasing a house with her own money was an obsession of Qiao Nan.

She had not started earning much money, but one after another, two houses had already landed in her hands. Neither was purchased by her as they were all gifts.

Lin Yuankang’s expression eased but his tone was still not good. “You’re kidding me. What is the price of the property in the capital? Will you be able to buy it just by paying lip service? Unless you go and buy a lottery.”
