Aunt Chen offers to transfer her house to Wang Yi and Chen Yin, but Mother Wang expresses concerns about the space, especially for future children. Chen Yin states they plan to buy a new house in two years, but Mother Wang questions if they intend to delay having children. Wang Yi grows frustrated with her parents' pressure and their dismissive attitude towards Chen Yin's business success, feeling they are creating unnecessary difficulties for her future mother-in-law.

"When I talk about the environment, is that what I mean? Even if you clean it thoroughly, a small house remains small. Can cleaning make the house bigger?"

"Why does it have to be big? I remember when I was young, we also lived in those tube-shaped buildings, right? Those places were even smaller, weren’t they?"

"Now that we’re in a better situation, what’s wrong with living a bit more comfortably?"

Seeing that Wang Yi was almost about to argue with Mother Wang, Aunt Chen quickly said, "No worries, no worries, let’s do this instead, why don’t we have Chen Yin buy a new house first, just buy it first."

"Mom?" Chen Yin was stunned for a moment.

"Chen Yin, don’t worry, isn’t business something you can do anytime? If you have money on hand, let’s just buy a house first, it’s okay to let it sit there."

Aunt Chen saw that Wang Yi nearly got into a fight with his own mother while speaking on their behalf, so she realized Wang Yi’s intentions.

Although Mother Wang’s opinion upset her somewhat, Wang Yi really moved her.

Therefore, for Wang Yi’s sake, Aunt Chen was willing to compromise.

In fact, she had saved a small sum of money here, and this money was actually given to her by Chen Yin every six months after he had earned some, asking her to save it up.

Originally, it was meant for her retirement, but after saving up for several years, she realized she didn’t quite have a chance to use it. It would be better to return it to Chen Yin and let him buy a new house.

Upon saying this, Mother Wang’s expression improved considerably.

However, Wang Yi opposed it.

"No need, buying a house now is a waste. We can still live in the current home, so stay there. If it’s Chen Yin’s money, he indeed needs it for his business, let him invest it properly in the business. There’s no rush to buy a house now."

Wang Yi said this with a stern face, nearly angering Mother Wang to death.

She slapped the table, "I don’t think we can talk today."

Seeing that things were about to escalate, Chen Yin was also a bit anxious.

"Auntie..."

Jiang Xiao originally didn’t want to speak.

This was a matter between the Chen Family and the Wang Family. She was there but had no intentions of intervening.

But hearing this, she couldn’t hold back any longer.

"Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, may I say a few words?"

When she spoke, Father Wang pulled Mother Wang’s hand and asked her to sit down again.

"Xiao Chiang, go ahead."

Jiang Xiao smiled and said, "I can actually understand your perspective, you want Little Yi to live comfortably without having to toil for daily life, right?"

"Isn’t that so? That’s exactly our thinking, but Little Yi doesn’t understand our intentions at all, what should we do?" Mother Wang wiped her tears.

Jin Mang patted her arm and glared at Wang Yi, "See how you upset your mom!"

"The reason you’re worried is probably because Chen Yin doesn’t have a stable job, and you’re afraid he won’t make money in the future to provide Little Yi a good life, right?"

Before Father Wang and Mother Wang could reply, Jin Mang quickly said, "We’re not worrying needlessly, Chen Yin indeed doesn’t have a stable job."

"Ms. Jin keeps saying Chen Yin doesn’t have a decent job. What do you mean by a decent job? Is doing business considered indecent? Let me tell you, I also want to invest money in Chen Yin’s business. I have high hopes for the real estate business he wants to venture into, and once his houses are built, I’ll be the first to buy two from him."
