Going home for Chinese New Year, I squeezed onto a bus with three energetic young women.

Early the next morning.

Cloud Top Heavenly Palace Villa.

Bai Li stuffed the gift boxes she had bought in advance into the Panamera one by one.

Chen Tingting, Lin Xiaoshuang, and Zhang Qian were standing on the steps, watching longingly.

"Big brother."

Zhang Qian's blue hair fluttered in the morning breeze:

"Are you really not taking us with you?"

Bai Li put the last two gift boxes away and dusted off his hands.

He walked over and ruffled the hair of all three of them.

"You guys stay home today. Jiaxin and I will go."

Li Jiaxin leaned against the car door and pouted.

"Even if you go, you'll just be wasting your time."

Li Jiaxin explained to the three people on the steps:

"My grandma's house is such a small place. Last time we went there, there wasn't even a place to sit."

Bai Li listened to Li Jiaxin's words and a thought crossed his mind.

Her grandmother's house was a rented single room in a large courtyard, only about 25 square meters, which was indeed inconvenient.

Even the toilet, cooking facilities, and tap water all had to be accessed from the shared facilities in the yard.

Bai Li brought up Li Jiaxin's panel.

Name: Li Jiaxin

【Charm Points: 92】

Bai Li stroked his chin thoughtfully:

[If we buy a house for Li Jiaxin's grandmother, could this stat be maxed out today?]

Housing prices in small counties like Pingxian are very low.

Buying an 80-square-meter two-bedroom apartment, along with basic renovations and a full set of appliances, can be done for just over 450,000 yuan.

This money was just a two-day rebate to him.

But for these young women, even including the paychecks and bonuses they received just a few days ago, it's still a huge sum that has emptied their savings.

Bai Li thought this was a good idea.

Immediately, he took out his phone, opened WeChat, and tapped on Chen Tingting's chat window.

I tapped the screen a few times and entered the amount.

Transfer 10,000 yuan.

[Ding! Rebate successful! 300000 RMB in cash has been transferred to your personal bank card.]

That's enough to cover most of the cost of a house.

He walked up to the steps and looked at the three girls who were having breakfast.

I just transferred the money to you.

Bai Li instructed Chen Tingting:

"Go out and stroll around today, and buy yourselves some nice outfits."

Chen Tingting took out her phone and her eyes lit up when she saw the transfer record of 10,000 yuan.

"Yay!" Chen Tingting raised her hands and cheered.

Lin Xiaoshuang and Zhang Qian also laughed.

After laughing, Chen Tingting tossed her red hair and gave Lin Xiaoshuang and Zhang Qian a wink.

Lin Xiaoshuang put the milk carton in her hand on the steps, walked down the stairs, and took Bai Li's left hand.

Zhang Qian followed and took Bai Li's right arm.

Chen Tingting led the way.

"Let's go, let's go, big brother."

Chen Tingting lowered her voice seriously:

"We have something to tell you."

Bai Li was led by the three men to a corner of the courtyard, his face full of confusion.

"What's wrong? What's the matter that you have to tell Jiaxin behind her back?"

Li Jiaxin was about to open the car door when she heard the noise and turned around.

She watched in bewilderment as her three sisters pulled Bai Li behind a row of ornamental trees in the corner of the villa's courtyard.

Under the ornamental tree, Chen Tingting looked around to make sure Li Jiaxin couldn't hear the conversation before stopping and turning around.

"Big brother."

Chen Tingting wasn't her usual carefree self:

"We plan to each transfer 100,000 yuan to you."

Chen Tingting stated their decision:

"That's 300,000 yuan in total. Take it and use it to buy a house for Grandma Jiaxin in the city."

After listening, Bai Li remained silent, quietly observing the three girls in front of her.

Lin Xiaoshuang tilted her head back, her blond hair swaying slightly as she continued the conversation:

"Yes. My grandparents and I both live in our own old houses in the village."

"Grandma Jiaxin has nothing. She has always rented that small, shabby single room, which doesn't even have a private bathroom."

"The elderly are getting old. What if they slip and fall when they go to the toilet in winter? It's so inconvenient for them..."

Zhang Qian crossed her arms over her chest, her blue hair falling over her shoulders.

"My aunt also has a house to live in. Jiaxin has it the worst." She chimed in.

Bai Li felt a warmth in her heart as she listened to their words.

These young women used to be dirt poor.

To save on taxi fares, they'd walk several kilometers under the scorching summer sun.

The short drama wrapped up filming a few days ago, and each of them received just over 300,000 yuan.

This is the greatest fortune they have ever seen in their lives.

If it were any other worldly woman, the first thing she would do after receiving this money would be to buy designer bags, high-end cosmetics, or go on a trip and post it on social media to show off.

But they didn't.

The first thing they did after discussing it was to take out one-third of their savings and pool their money to buy a retirement home for their best friend's grandmother.

There was no scheming, no comparison, only the most genuine sisterly loyalty.

Bai Li stretched out his hands.

They ruffled Chen Tingting's red hair, Lin Xiaoshuang's blonde hair, and Zhang Qian's blue hair.

"You three silly girls."

Bai Li's tone was soft, yet warm:

"Don't worry about buying the house. That's exactly what I was thinking. You can keep the money yourselves; you don't need to contribute anything."

He pointed in the direction of the gate to the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top.

"I just messaged the property management and asked them to find a suitable new apartment nearby. I estimate the paperwork should be completed soon."

After listening, Chen Tingting let out a long sigh of relief.

"Big brother is so good!" She stepped forward, put her arms around Bai Li's neck, and stood on tiptoe.

"Mua~" She gave Bai Li a big kiss on the cheek.

Lin Xiaoshuang and Zhang Qian were also laughing heartily.

Bai Li pulled Chen Tingting's arm down.

"Since we've brought up housing," Bai Li said, looking at the group of them.

"How about we buy one for your grandparents too? They'll have better living conditions if they move to the city."

Chen Tingting and Lin Xiaoshuang shook their heads vigorously, waving their hands repeatedly in refusal.

"No, no, big brother," Chen Tingting explained.

"We spoke with Grandma on the phone the day we received our money."

"The old man absolutely refused. He said he didn't like the city, that living in a high-rise was like being in prison, and that he had no one to talk to when he went out."

Lin Xiaoshuang nodded in agreement:

"Yes, that's right. My grandma said she lived in the village her whole life, and even Grandma Ma moved away. Life is so much better now."

Bai Li nodded. This idea of ​​returning to one's roots is very common among the older generation.

He turned his gaze to Zhang Qian.

The smile on Zhang Qian's face vanished the moment she heard that she was going to buy a house for her family.

His eyes were filled with disgust.

"I don't want to either." Zhang Qian gritted her teeth, making no attempt to hide her hatred.

"Buy houses for those two beasts? What kind of good deal is that?"

She snorted coldly:

"Even if we buy it, that house will only be our private sex den. Those two bastards can forget about it!"

Bai Li flicked Zhang Qian's forehead with her finger.

"You never seem to have anything serious on your mind."

He took a step back and waved to the three of them.

"Alright, I got it. You guys go shopping today and buy whatever you like."

"Jiaxin and I might be back tonight."

"Okay, big brother! Go and come back soon!" the three girls replied in unison.

Bai Li turned around and walked towards Palamera.

The morning sunlight filtered through the leaves and shone on the car.

Li Jiaxin was still standing next to the front of the car.

She had her hands in her shorts pockets, and her high purple ponytail swayed with her movements.

A smile graced that vibrant young face.

Seeing Bai Li approach, she stretched out an arm and waved to him with a silly grin.

"Hey bro, what are you two whispering about behind my back? Are you done talking yet?"

Li Jiaxin urged:

"Let's hurry up and go!"

She had no idea that Bai Li had prepared a huge surprise for her.

Bai Li walked to the driver's side and opened the car door.

"We're done talking. I'm leaving now."

Bai Li got into the car, started the engine, and the Panamera sped out of the gates of the Cloud Palace, heading towards the old town of Ping County.
