I Play Dungeons in the Police Station-Chapter 379 - 234: Going Home to Build a House

Li Xiang, who was stunned by the huge prize money, never expected that his first million in life would come like this.

With this money, the old house of his family in the countryside can finally be torn down and rebuilt.

In the village, other wealthy families had long since torn down their old ramshackle houses and built small Western-style villas in their place, looking very impressive.

His parents were incredibly envious, but unfortunately, he didn’t have the ability. The money he earned was just enough to cover his college expenses.

Now that he had the money, it was only natural to help his parents fulfill their wish.

He discussed this matter with Lin Feifei and received her full support. She even said that if the money wasn’t enough, she had more and could contribute.

Having grown up without parents, Lin Feifei found the fatherly and motherly love she’d lost with Li Xiang’s family.

Li Xiang’s parents treated Lin Feifei like their own daughter, caring for her with great affection and concern every time she returned home, which deeply moved and cherished her.

So, she was wholeheartedly supportive of Li Xiang’s filial behavior.

Therefore, before going to the provincial office, Li Xiang planned to first go home with Lin Feifei and break the news to his parents.

At the same time, he would find a construction team to start the work.

If all went well, they’d be able to move in before the New Year.

Early the next morning, Li Xiang took Lin Feifei back to the old family home.

"Why are you back again today?"

Li Xiang’s mother was puzzled to see him back again: "Hasn’t the National Day holiday ended, and aren’t you supposed to return to work?"

"I took a leave, came back to handle something. Where’s Dad?"

"In the house. Why take a leave unnecessarily? You lose pay for every day you don’t work."

Although Li’s mother was seemingly blaming him, she was still very happy to see her son and future daughter-in-law back home: "Feifei, what would you like for lunch? I’ll go buy it for you."

"Auntie, no need to trouble yourself. Whatever’s available is fine."

Lin Feifei didn’t want to add more work for the auntie. They were already exhausted, and their visit might make them even more tired.

"Oh, how could that be? It’s rare for you to come home; I’ll make a great meal for you."

"Thank you, Auntie."

Seeing she couldn’t convince her, Lin Feifei had no choice but to give up.

At noon, Li’s mother indeed prepared a table full of dishes, which the four of them couldn’t possibly finish.

At the dining table, Li Xiang prepared his words and said to his parents, "Dad, Mom, there’s something I want to discuss with you."

"Son, are you planning to get married?"

"Really? There’s no need to discuss this. Your father and I wholeheartedly agree. If you can marry such a good girl like Feifei, it’s like our ancestors are blessing us."

The atmosphere Li Xiang had just built up was completely deflated by his parents rushing him into marriage.

Even Feifei was shy, lowering her head and pinching Li Xiang hard under the table, causing him to wince in pain.

"Marriage is inevitable, but this isn’t what I wanted to discuss now."

"If not marriage, what else? Since marriage is inevitable, why not do it sooner? While your parents are still young, we can help raise the kids."

"Let me explain." Lin Feifei, seeing Li Xiang unable to explain clearly, stood up to clarify: "It’s like this, after completing a mission, Li Xiang received a bonus from the organization. We’ve discussed it and decided to use this money to tear down our old house in the countryside and build a Western-style villa."

"What? Build a Western-style villa? Why spend that money? You should save it for buying a marital home in the city; there are many expenses when you get married. We are living comfortably in the current house, we’re used to it."

"Mom, you really shouldn’t worry about the marital home. I’m currently in a period of career advancement. In a few days, I’ll be starting work in the provincial office. It’s uncertain where I’ll be assigned in the future. I can only buy a house where my job is located. It wouldn’t make sense to buy one and then have to move again for a job transfer."

"Then deposit the money in the bank and withdraw it when you need to buy a house later."

"It’s possible the workplace might provide housing. When I head to the provincial office this time, it’s not just to collect the bonus; my police rank will also be promoted by three levels. I’m now at the third police inspector rank. In a couple more years, it’s possible the workplace will provide housing."

"My son is so capable. What kind of work did you do to earn a promotion and a bonus? It’s definitely dangerous, right? You’re still young. In the future, avoid such dangerous tasks, okay? We can’t afford to lose the Li Family’s line."

Hearing how capable her son was made Li’s mother both happy and immensely worried.

The workplace grants you so many benefits, you must have contributed greatly. What kind of accomplishments would merit such a great reward?

It’s evident without asking that it was a very dangerous mission.

Otherwise, wouldn’t everyone be vying to do it?

"Mom, don’t worry. If it’s dangerous, I definitely won’t go, especially since I have Feifei."

Naturally, Li Xiang wouldn’t tell his parents about the dangerous events that had occurred elsewhere, as unnecessary details would only make them worry.

"This is final. We returned this time solely for the house construction matter. We’ve brought back the construction blueprints, and now it’s just about finding a reliable renovation team to start, aiming to move into the new home before the year ends."

The construction and effect drawings were chosen by Lin Feifei herself. She consulted the design company and selected a very fashionable Western-style villa from the sample drawings, with which she was very satisfied.

She took the effect drawing out of her bag and showed it to the elder couple.

"Uncle, Auntie, take a look. This is what our house will look like when finished."

"Wow, that’s so fashionable. It must cost quite a bit, right?"
