Chapter 975: 277: Abuse the Scum! Rachel Barton's Confession Rejected_6

"Speaking of this," Mrs. Price continued, "We were also lucky. In the early days, before housing prices began to rise, we used our first pot of gold from starting a business to buy a building."

She said a building.

Not an apartment.

Hearing this, Delia Frieman widened her eyes in surprise and said, "Uncle and auntie were very far-sighted! The housing prices must have been very cheap then, right?"

At that time, the idea of buying a house wasn't very strong among the people.

Firstly, they felt a house was meant for living in, that's it.

Secondly, they were afraid of taking on a mortgage.

Mrs. Price nodded with a smile, "At that time, the price of a building was around two million. Your uncle even argued with me over this! Fortunately, I insisted, otherwise, we would all be suffering now."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Price said somewhat embarrassedly, "I didn't think housing prices would rise so rapidly back then."

"When we realized that house prices would surely inflate, we took on a mortgage of over five million and bought two more buildings. Even now, I feel we were brave then. It was like a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger," Mrs. Price reminisced. "Later, when house prices soared, we sold a building which gave us nearly a hundred million in revenue. But by today's standard, it still feels like a loss! We used that money to pay off the mortgage and expand our business."

"Auntie, you are amazing!" Delia praised.

Mrs. Price smiled and said, "Delia, I really like you. Do you know why?"

"I don't know." Delia shook her head.

She honestly didn't know.

After all, aside from her outstanding work ability, there was nothing that accentuated her.

So, she was always curious. Why did Mrs. Price favor her so much, even disregarding her past?

Mrs. Price looked at Delia seriously and said, "Because you remind me of myself when I was young."
