"An apartment building can only be so big!" Seeing her thirty-year-old daughter acting so playfully, Mrs. Zhou chuckled softly. 'Her husband must be the one who spoils her so. My girl never acted this coquettish before she married him.'
"Who said anything about an apartment building? We bought one of those large, old-style courtyard houses in the Capital City. It's a residence with three courtyards, and it even has a big garden next to it. It's gorgeous! And it's right near the Imperial Palace!" Zhou Lian whispered to her mother. She couldn't stand apartment buildings; she found them stifling. A courtyard house like this was much more comfortable to live in!
Mrs. Zhou stared at her in shock. "How much must that have cost?" she asked, astonished.
"It was manageable. Jin Chen makes a lot of money now. He said he'd never let me be troubled by money," Zhou Lian said nonchalantly. 'What's the point of earning money if you don't spend it?'
