In the latter half of 1999, Jiang Village was confirmed for demolition. However, in the first half of the year, An Jianping's family did two major things: First, they sold two plots of resident...

"Originally, no one in the family mentioned it because they were busy with the relocation."
"But just a few days ago, didn't I mention this when I was thinking of opening another pharmacy?"
"Then, a fight broke out at home."
"After all that fuss, they didn't even mention opening a pharmacy. They just said it wasn't right for us to keep the demolition compensation money and told us to transfer the money out first."
“Your brother is so honest; he’ll do exactly what they say the next day.”
"It was also with the credit union; they asked a few more questions because I was transferring a large sum of money out all at once."
"You know your brother's personality; he can't say more than a few words to people he doesn't know well."
"That's how they came to believe that your brother had ulterior motives and wanted to pocket the money."
“I was angry at the time, so I just pulled your brother back.”
"Let's just let them tear it apart first."
"As a result, they seemed to resent us and wouldn't stop bothering us all day long."
"They even accused us of hoarding things and wanted to split up the family!"
"Who doesn't know they want to split up the family?"
"Didn't they learn this from those people in Xinlin Village? These past few days, they've been sneaking out every night. Do they think we're blind?"
“They wanted to follow the example of those spendthrift sons in Xinlin Village and divide up the family property, but they tried to shift the blame onto my husband and me.”
"We're now caught in the middle, neither side is happy."
"Regarding this house, wasn't it because they were petty and thought we still had the demolition compensation money on us that they let me go through the paperwork?"
"Isn't that a good thing?" An Songyu quickly offered a word of comfort.
Sister-in-law Yun was initially a little taken aback.
She realized what was going on after seeing An Songyu wink at her.
Yes, given their current state of constant bickering, this family will break up sooner or later.
She owns a house, isn't that a good thing?
Thinking about it this way, Sister Yun suddenly realized something.
She grabbed An Songyu's hand and urged, "You said you were going to show me something good, let's go see it first."
"After you've read this, give me some advice on how I should proceed."
An Songyu was amused by her.
They quickly helped her continue climbing the stairs.
Until they reached the only show flat left for their family.
Standing in front of the door, which looked no different from any other house, An Songyu first inserted the key into the lock.
He then turned to look at Sister Yun and said with a smile, "The time to witness a miracle has come!"
After saying that, she immediately turned the key and pushed open the door.
"This, this...is this already renovated?" As the door opened and everything was gradually revealed to her, Sister-in-law Yun was so shocked that she was speechless.
The house has a very bright color scheme and follows a European-style light luxury style.
The first thing you see when you enter the room is a shoe cabinet and a partition.
Judging from An Songyu's perspective, it probably won't be out of style for another ten years or so.
There are also shoe mats and matching stools at the entrance.
Above the shoe cabinet below the partition, there are two small drawers that can be pulled out, which is convenient for storing keys or something similar.
Of course, this is nothing compared to the dedicated entryway cabinets of later generations.
But in this day and age, it is really quite novel.
At least Sister-in-law Yun was almost dumbfounded.
Once inside, you'll find yourself in a large, high-ceilinged hall.
The hall is fully equipped with chaise lounges, crystal chandeliers, and even a television.
Behind the partition at the entrance, there is a teahouse that people from the southern province can't live without.
On the other side of the living room, a double-sided cabinet next to the sofa connects directly to the second floor, separating the living room from the dining room.
Go further in from the direction you came in through the main entrance, and next to the coffee table, separated by a wall, is the public restroom on the first floor.
Opposite to it is the staircase leading to the second floor.
Go further down the stairs, there are two doors, one of which leads to the master bedroom on the first floor, which also has a toilet.
One is a second bedroom on the first floor without a toilet.
There is a bedroom on the second floor directly opposite the restaurant, and the public bathroom is next to it.
The wall facing the living room from the bedroom is still entirely glass.
An Songyu felt that it would be strange to make it a bedroom and open the curtains.
But since this area has been renovated into a study, opening the curtains or even the windows won't have any impact.
On the contrary, it can visually increase the sense of space.
Then, on the other side, directly above the television set in the main hall, is a small hall.
On either side of the small hall, there is a room of different sizes.
One of them is also a master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom.
Besides that, what caught the attention of Sister Yun, a housewife, the various storage cabinets of different sizes and functions in each room were naturally the most interesting.
It had everything, from the living room to the dining room, from the kitchen to the bedroom.
"This... is enough for two generations to live in." Aunt Yun clicked her tongue in amazement after reading it.
An Songyu does not deny this point.
After all, when my aunt and her mother came here, the apartment they bought was only slightly larger than this one.
"Was this renovated by the real estate company?" Sister Yun wasn't stupid.
An Songyu nodded slightly: "Didn't our family buy the land and rebuild, and also hire someone to do the renovations?"
"After seeing this kind of renovation, we decided to try it out on our own small apartment first."
"So, when I asked you earlier if you were going to renovate, you both nodded and shook your head?" Sister-in-law Yun found it quite amusing.
She looked at the small sofa on the second floor, checked its cleanliness, and then sat down.
The small living room on the second floor is naturally incomparable to that on the first floor.
It even feels smaller than a restaurant.
So there was no TV inside, only a few sofas and stools of various sizes, as well as a coffee table and small cabinets.
But overall, it makes people feel relaxed and comfortable.
The more Sister Yun looked at it, the more envious she became.
She said as if she had made up her mind, "Ayu, your family must keep going!"
"If we actually achieve that effect... no, even if it's a little worse than this."
"I'll let you renovate my house!"
"How could it be that fast?" An Songyu shook his head with a face full of regret.
"We're just giving it a try."
"However, my uncle and his family worked hard to find a designer and also went to furniture stores and building materials markets to look at a lot of materials."
"Actually, if you follow this method, you can probably make it just like this."
"But we already have one of these in our family, so we don't want to make another one like it!"
Sister-in-law Yun's eyes widened instantly: "What are you saying? If you don't want to do the same thing at home, come to my house!"
"However, we can discuss the color."
"Or, Ah Yu, how about I go with you to take a look?"
"You can find someone to do the work, and I'll choose the materials myself."
An Songyu smiled helplessly: "Then what about your pharmacy, sister-in-law? Aren't you going to keep it open?"
"Where can it be opened anytime soon?" As soon as An Songyu mentioned this, Sister Yun lost her enthusiasm.
"Why can't it start?" An Songyu looked at Sister-in-law Yun strangely: "Let's not talk about your peers."
"I refuse to believe that the elders in my family can just stand by and watch their time, which could be used to make money, be wasted like this."
