Quick Wear: Random Cheats

Chapter 232 The Mentally Collapsed Zombie Sister (7)

Room 401, Building 7, Nancheng Residential Area.

Li Xiaoya was holding several documents, looking rather helpless and anxious as she looked at everyone present.

The most important thing is to look at the lawyer in front of you.

They know each other; the lawyer is a family acquaintance.

"It's probably a scam. How could there be such a thing as a free lunch? Why would someone spend money to hire a lawyer to look at this? It's just laughable."

Zhou Huaiyuan still had some doubts.

His son, Zhou Xingbang, offered timely words of comfort:

"Dad, you don't know, those two lawyers who came yesterday seemed pretty professional. I checked and the law firm they mentioned does exist, and it's a really big place."

And they didn't mention paying money or taxes or anything like that.

They just said that once Xiaoya signed the agreement, she could receive a monthly allowance of around 300,000 yuan from some kind of fund. I searched online but didn't hear of such a scam. So I think it's either a new scam or it might actually be real. If it's a new scam, I'll share it online later.

To prevent anyone from being scammed...

"What they said sounded very convincing. They even said that if we were really worried, we could go with them to the police station to sign the documents in person with a notary, or go directly to the notary office to sign the documents in person with a notary. But we were really worried, and concerned that there might be something wrong with the documents, since we don't understand them."

That's why I thought I'd ask Xiao Zhang for help!

Liu Mei chimed in, saying that when the lawyers arrived, only she and her granddaughter-in-law, Li Xiaoya, were at home. Even though the two lawyers suggested they could go to the police station or the notary office to sign documents, they didn't dare go with the two men, which is why they said they needed to think about it.

The document was left behind for the time being.

When Zhou Xingbang returned, they talked to him again and searched online, but they were still unsure, so they thought of asking a lawyer friend to take a look. Then Zhou Xingbang also called his parents over to find out what was going on.

Let's discuss how to deal with this!

While they were talking, Attorney Zhang had already finished reading all the documents, and then looked at Li Xiaoya with a hint of envy:
"It's like a windfall. The document is fine, and the fact that they dared to go to the police station and sign it in front of a notary further proves that there's nothing wrong with it. Of course, the premise is that it has to be in front of a real police station or a real notary."

If you're really worried, I'll go with you. Family members can come too; there shouldn't be any problems. There should still be time. Xiaoya, you can contact them. The month is almost over; the sooner you sign, the more you can earn an extra 280,000 yuan.

"If we delay until next month, we'll lose 280,000."

He had rarely seen such a windfall in his career. Although it was a bit strange that a fund had been set up and a distant relative had been designated as the beneficiary, the documents were indeed in order.

If the signing process goes smoothly from here on out.

There's definitely no problem with this.

Everything complies with procedures and legal regulations.

"Really, are these documents real? But she's never even met me, yet she gives me so much money every month... this... is this really appropriate?"

Not only Li Xiaoya, but everyone else present was stunned, both incredulous and overjoyed. After all, they were family. With this monthly income, the entire family's social class had essentially jumped up. From simply making ends meet to becoming middle class, with an annual income of over three million yuan, they could easily be considered middle class.

In a big city, it might be a bit of a stretch.

They wouldn't say it's forced; it's a no-brainer.

"Wow, this is like a windfall!"

"Xiaoya, contact them quickly. You should keep their phone number. It's better to have the money in your pocket first."

"Where did this living bodhisattva relative come from!"

"Should we tell Xiaoya's parents about this? Is it okay for Xiaoya to keep the money? Will her parents have any objections? We don't want any more conflicts!"

"Doesn't the document say that Xiaoya is one of the beneficiaries? There should be other beneficiaries as well. It's hard to say about her parents and her younger siblings."

"Xiaoya... Xiaoya..."

In the chaos, Xiaoya quickly dialed the phone number left by the two lawyers under the urging of her relatives. After receiving the call, the two lawyers rushed over to pick her up and take Li Xiaoya to complete the formalities. Of course, all the relatives and Lawyer Zhang accompanied them.

It wasn't a scam to begin with, so the whole process was fine. After completing the formalities, the foundation quickly initiated the disbursement process, and 280,000 yuan was promptly transferred to the bank card linked to Li Xiaoya's account.

The foundation also stated that before Li Xiaoya's death, funds were deposited into her bank account on the 1st of each month. If the domestic currency fluctuates significantly and experiences large-scale devaluation, Li Xiaoya could apply for recalibration, with a recalibration ratio of 280,000.

This means that if the domestic currency depreciates, ten yuan will only have the purchasing power of one yuan.

Li Xiaoya can apply for recalibration.

After that, she would receive 2.8 million every month.

This is equivalent to the purchasing power of 280,000 previously.

After learning all this and returning home, Li Xiaoya was still somewhat dazed and incredulous. Immediately afterwards, the whole family gathered together, discussed it, and decided that they must keep a low profile.

Everyone keeps this a secret and doesn't tell anyone.

After all, one should not flaunt their wealth.

They also asked Attorney Zhang for help.

Then they discussed the future. With such a fixed high monthly income, they could naturally make some changes to their originally planned mundane future.

"Should we hire a nanny?"

This was Li Xiaoya's first thought; the daily housework of cleaning was not easy for her.

In the past, we could let Grandma help with the burden, but now that both children are grown up and Grandma is almost eighty, it would be hard for her to bear the burden again.

Their in-laws don't live with them.

She was too embarrassed to ask her mother-in-law to come over every day to clean their house; she wasn't that shameless.

Hiring a nanny would undoubtedly make things much easier.

"That's not a good idea. In our community, apart from a few families with paralyzed members, no one hires a caregiver. Most of the families with paralyzed members hire temporary caregivers, or someone to take care of them when family members are busy."

Hiring a nanny is just too ostentatious.

Liu Mei was the first to object. People want to be lazy and enjoy life, that's human nature, but didn't everyone agree beforehand to keep a low profile? Hiring a nanny is very high-profile, at least in their neighborhood, it's definitely high-profile.

"We can buy some high-end smart home appliances. Many high-end smart home appliances are no longer a waste of money; they are actually quite convenient. Getting a set can save a lot of trouble."

Zhou Xingbang was adept at compromise and reconciliation.

Li Xiaoya thought about it and agreed that it made sense.
"I've never used a dishwasher before, but I can buy one and try it out. Also, we can find a restaurant with good hygiene for our three meals a day. If we don't usually cook at home, it will probably save us half of the housework."

Also, we replaced our washing machine. I've wanted to buy a few more washing machines for a long time, but I just haven't been willing to spend the money.

I want to buy a small wall-mounted washing machine specifically for washing underwear, the kind that can be placed in the bathroom. It can only wash a few pieces of underwear at a time, and it will cost around 5,000 yuan. I used to think it wasn't worth it, but now that I have the money, I think it's a great deal.

I'll also buy a shoe cleaner specifically for this purpose. Ugh, cleaning shoes is such a hassle every time. I hope I'm not just wasting money.

Why don't you send it to the dry cleaners?

Zhou Xingbang's lips twitched slightly.

"Oh right!" Li Xiaoya suddenly realized. She still hadn't figured things out. After thinking for a while, she excitedly said, "I'm going to declutter! I'm going to start a big clean-up and throw away everything in the house that I don't need. I've always envied other people's decluttering, but I've never been willing to do it myself. After all, there are some things in the house that I don't use right now, but I might need them later."

It would be such a waste to have to spend money to buy it later. Now I don't have that worry anymore. I throw away things I don't need right now, and I just buy them when I need them.

I've been unhappy with my house for a long time. It's over 120 square meters, and yet it's cluttered with stuff everywhere. It needs a major cleaning, a complete overhaul!

"Isn't it all because you wouldn't let me throw it away?"

Zhou Xingbang continued to mutter to himself...

Li Xiaoya rolled her eyes at Zhou Xingbang, then immediately followed through on her word and began packing her things to throw them away.

Throw away the plastic crates used for fruit, the wine bottles, the plastic bags, the old, broken rice cookers, the old tables that take up space but are actually useless, and all the odds and ends of old things that have been accumulated over the years, like wine glasses and saucers.

I'll just buy it later, and buy a better one.

The same goes for clothes; except for a few that had sentimental value, the rest were all dug out and thrown away.

After all, there weren't many expensive items to begin with.

Most of them cost a couple hundred yuan, and there are only a few pieces that cost over a thousand yuan. If you have the means, who wouldn't want to buy something good, like cashmere or mink, which are thin and warm?

Isn't it because they don't have the means and can't bear to part with it?
After tidying up for a while, Li Xiaoya suddenly looked at the pile of things in front of her and laughed. As she laughed, tears welled up in her eyes. She had lived most of her life, and all she had accumulated was this huge pile of stuff. If it weren't for this unexpected adventure, the rest of her life would probably have been like this, unless her children would have some kind of miracle in the future.

"Xiaoya, are you...are you alright?"

Li Xiaoya wiped her eyes, looked at the things in front of her, took a deep breath, and said:

"It's nothing, I'm just feeling a little sentimental."

This rice cooker has been with us for fifteen years, bought right after we got married. Although it's malfunctioning a bit now, it still works occasionally. This refrigerator was also bought around the time of our wedding, and it hasn't broken down in over ten years. While it's not the most advanced, it's still pretty good.

I want to declutter, but I'm also a little reluctant to let go.

Everything, except for those plastic bags, bears the marks of our lives. Sigh, I'm thinking of buying another apartment in our neighborhood in two months. It won't need to be fully furnished or anything, just to store these things. I can't bear to throw them away, and I also want a place that's a bit more spacious.

So... I'll buy a house to store all this stuff!

280,000 is not enough to buy a house. Although the house prices here are not very high, they are not as low as 280,000 a house. You still need 500,000. So you have to wait at least another month until the beginning of next month to get the second payment before you can afford to buy one. That's why it will take two months.

"Whatever makes you happy, it's your money anyway."

Zhou Xingbang wanted to say it was crazy, but he had no reason to say it, so he could only helplessly say that he had no opinion!

Seeing that there was nothing for them to do, Liu Mei and the others quickly took their leave. After they left, Li Xiaoya continued packing her things, while also urging Zhou Xingbang to help.

Although some things were planned to be kept, a large portion of the items were intended to be thrown away. In the end, the garbage bags were kept, while items like the mahjong mat, which hadn't been used for several years, were collected and thrown away.

There are also some clothes that I don't really like.

The quilts, clothes racks, and other items were found, along with a lot of expired medicines and expired oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.

You don't know until you clean it up.

When I tidied up the house, I found that there were quite a lot of useless things.

After cleaning up and throwing everything into the downstairs trash can, Zhou Xingbang, one of the two who was lying on the bed to rest for a while, suddenly asked with some concern:
"Honey, you're not going to go find a gigolo, are you?!"

Just as women worry that men will have affairs when they become rich, men also worry when women become rich, since the idea that money can corrupt people isn't limited to either gender.

"Tsk...it's really hard to say..."

In her excitement, Li Xiaoya hadn't really thought of this. But when Zhou Xingbang mentioned it, she couldn't help but think of the handsome young men she'd seen on short videos and the celebrities she'd followed when she was younger.

Then she turned to look at her overweight husband beside her.

It's really hard not to waver.

"Wife, you're joking, right..." Zhou Xingbang said, his big face already close to hers.

After pushing his face away, Li Xiaoya continued, "If I were ten years younger, or hadn't had children, it's really hard to say. What can I do now? I have to think about my own reputation, or at least about my child. Sigh, I can only watch short videos."

Oh, right, let's go to the gym and get a membership.

You don't have much time or energy to exercise and take care of yourself, and neither do I. Although my face hasn't turned into a haggard old woman, it's not much better. It can't compare to women who haven't had children or are career women who have been working all their lives without getting married. You also have a lot of extra weight.

Let's go get gym memberships and start working out.

Oh, and I'll also get a beauty salon membership.

You need to work hard too. If I turn around and become beautiful and rich again, and you're still the same, don't blame me for looking down on you. Don't you agree?

Li Xiaoya was not joking when she said this.

That means she only earns 280,000 a month. If she earns two or three million a month, or even seven or eight small goals, she is really not sure if she can stay calm and not be attracted to young and handsome men.
At this moment, she seemed to understand a little better how wealthy men felt when they came home to a haggard, worn-out wife.

"Honey, are you serious...?"

"From now on, you'll be my gigolo. Have you ever seen a gigolo with such a big belly? Get back to exercising and don't tell me you have to work and don't have time."

If all else fails, just quit your job.

I'll give you 10,000 yuan as pocket money every month.

"Any more won't do, I won't feel comfortable with any more!"

"Uh... no, no, I'll just go to work as usual. I'll try to squeeze out some time to exercise every day."

But I... my body really can..."

"You're not sick or taking hormone medication. You just gained weight due to lack of exercise. There's nothing you can't lose. Come on, let's learn some skincare tips first. I'm going to buy some skincare products online. Things I couldn't afford before, I can buy now. I'll pick the good ones."

In a few months, I'll save up some more money and buy Grandma a big gold bracelet, and Mom some gold jewelry too.

They like these things.

"Oh, right, I need to go for a medical checkup. Every extra month I live means an extra 280,000 yuan in earnings. I need to take good care of my health. Even if not for you, I want to live a few more years for our daughter and son, to save more money for them."

"You're really thinking far ahead..."

"So many products! Scalp pre-shampoo oil, scalp scrub, scalp massage cream—honey, are you sure this isn't just a waste of money? Even if you have money, you can't do this!"

"I've never used it before, so I bought some to try. It's good that you don't have hair loss. There are so many successful weight loss cases, but there are really not many cases of hair loss being cured. I've always wanted to buy this aged white rose essential oil, but it's over a thousand yuan per milliliter, which is really too much for me. It's been in my favorites for years. Today I added it to my shopping cart, and I'll smell it later."

"What? Over a thousand yuan per milliliter? Gold is only seven or eight hundred yuan per gram now, it's more expensive than gold?"

"You don't understand aged, top-quality rose essential oil."

"Twenty years old, are you sure it's not expired?"

"People say the older the better..."

……

Meanwhile, Zhou Yuanwei, who started boarding at school in her first year of high school and only went home on Saturdays and Sundays.

A system fell from the sky during my afternoon nap.

He forcibly bound himself to her and issued mandatory tasks.
