Rebirth in the 90s: Pack up and prepare for demolition

Chapter 219: A piece of cake

Ye Wenhui was not a weak woman. After her husband died, she raised her two children by herself.

Although the brothers and sisters all lend a hand, Ye Wenhui herself has to make decisions and stand on her own.

Ye Wenhui considered everything very carefully when looking for a house. There were seven people in the yard, including children and adults. Not to mention anything else, Xiaofeng was a boy, so he definitely had to live in a room alone, and the rest of the people had to have at least two rooms.

So there must be at least three bedrooms, plus the kitchen and bathroom, the area is not small.

It’s not that Ye Wenhui is reluctant to buy a bigger one, but the houses nearby all have similar layouts. If she wants to give each of her children a room, it would be difficult to find a house of this size.

Ye Wenhui wandered around these two days and actually found a nice courtyard.

That courtyard is also closer to C University, and there is a public primary school next to it. It is about five minutes away from the vegetable market.

Whether it is living or studying, every aspect is very convenient.

The yard is quite large, with a main room, three bedrooms, a kitchen and a separate toilet.

Although the yard is not big, it can accommodate children to play in it so that they don’t feel too cramped.

The house price was even cheaper than Ye Wenhui expected, only 48,000.

This little money is a piece of cake for Ye Wenhui.

She bargained a little and got it for 47,000.

However, although this yard is cheap, it is really shabby.

We need to find someone to clean it up.

Upon learning of this, the dean immediately became restless and said, "How can we still ask you to spend money? We can do it ourselves. This is a good opportunity for them to get acclimated to the environment in advance."

This time, the dean finally took a firm stance and decisively took the children, big and small, to clean up the yard.

Ye Wenhui shook her head helplessly. Knowing their deep-seated uneasiness, she did not stop them. They could take care of some small details, but for things like replacing tiles, Ye Wenhui finally had to ask someone to do it all over again.

Ye Ke looked at the neatly tidied yard and felt nostalgic. "It feels like our yard."

The layout is quite similar, but her yard is slightly larger than this one.

After spending some time together, the children have already become familiar with Ye Wenhui. Ye Wenhui is quite good at pretending in front of outsiders, never gets angry, and is a caring and gentle aunt to the children.

Lele is the older one, more concerned about her reputation, and although she appreciates being close to Ye Wenhui, she won't cling to her. Tongtong is different, she is at the age where she loves to act like a spoiled brat, and she almost clings to Ye Wenhui.

Although Ye Wenhui is considered a grandmother in terms of age, she does not look old at all. With the careful maintenance she has done over the past two years, she looks even more radiant.

So Ye Wenhui, who appears to be good-looking and gentle, fits perfectly their fantasy of a mother.

Ye Wenhui often takes care of Ruirui at home. She is very good at taking care of a child of this age. For a while, both sides get along very well.

Ye Ke was stunned when he saw it.

Ye Ke: Empress Dowager, why have you never sung this song to me to comfort children?

Regarding the issue of funding, Ye Ke and others have also discussed it carefully. The dean only needs to give a certain amount of food expenses every month. When the children go to school, the tuition will be paid directly by Ye Ke and others, and will not go through the dean.

First, the dean’s mental and physical condition are not very good now, and not letting the dean manage too much is also to reduce the burden on him.

The second issue is what Ye Ke has always been worried about. It’s not that he doubts that the dean will change his mind in the future, but it would be better if things can be avoided and solved at the source from the beginning.

In addition to food expenses, a living allowance will be given every quarter, such as for purchasing daily necessities and children's clothing, which will be at the dean's discretion.

Ye Ke handed the monthly food allowance and quarterly living expenses to the dean.

Originally, the money was pooled by Ye Ke, Ye Wenhui and Lin Shuwan. When Lin Shuwan told her family about it, her mother also contributed some money. Her mother spoke sincerely, and Ye Ke certainly would not refuse everyone's kindness on behalf of the children.

The dean had tears in his eyes and kept saying thank you.

Holding a stack of money in their hands, they were trembling with excitement. The children's hard days were finally over, and they could live like normal children from now on.

Yes, that's normal. The dean's expectation for them is just that they can have enough food to eat and go to school like children from ordinary families.

"Sister Xiao Ke, please help me find some textbooks and materials. I can study on my own." Lele's eyes were full of confidence. "We don't need to hire a teacher."

Looking at Lele's confident state, Ye Ke chuckled, "Okay! Then I believe you."

Originally, he was worried that Lele and Xiaofeng would not be able to keep up with the courses in the second half of the year, but since Lele was so confident, Ye Ke certainly supported him.

Before leaving, Ye Ke glanced at the children, who were now in much better condition than before. When passing by a milk station on the way, he suggested, "Why don't we order some milk for them every day?"

They are in need of nutrition right now, and the dean will certainly not treat them unfairly. But at the same time, at this price of milk, the dean probably wouldn't think of ordering it for them.

Lin Shuwan nodded in agreement, "Okay! Now that you've booked it, don't just focus on the children, book one for the dean as well."

Only when she is in good health can she take good care of the children.

"But you have to keep it in the account, don't pay for it alone." Lin Shuwan reminded.

The dean gave money monthly, but they each gave 10,000 yuan directly, pooling a total of 40,000 yuan to be kept with Ye Ke. When the money came in, they could just cross it out every time they made an expense. If the money wasn't enough, they could pool it in later.

Although 40,000 yuan is a lot in this era, it is just a small amount for the four of them. However, it is enough for the children to use for a long time.

Ye Ke nodded. Indeed, the dean also needed some training.

Ye Ke and the others actually took the dean's physical condition into consideration and even suggested finding someone to help?

But the director felt unworthy and refused it outright. What the hell was that? Both she and the children were capable of taking care of themselves, so why did they need to hire someone to serve them?

The dean always felt uneasy, fearing that Ye Ke and the others would lose the funding one day, so he always wanted to cultivate the children's ability to be independent.

Besides, they are used to relying on each other and really don't want another stranger to squeeze in.

Ye Ke had no choice but to give up.

At the same time, he felt that he had made the right decision. The people in the "welfare home", whether adults or children, were all people with good moral character, which also made Ye Ke full of confidence in this funding.
