"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."

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."
