Buying land is such a big deal, you should first meet with Su Wei's second uncle at home. Dong Qing said it was fine, go ahead.
Su Wei said "Wait a moment" and turned to walk out of her house toward the village office.
Su Wei arrived at the village committee. In those days, village officials weren't busy. Her second uncle and several other village officials were chatting in the village office.
He saw his niece walk into the house, stood up, and said, "When did Wei'er get back?"
Su Wei said, "I just got back. Is Second Uncle busy right now?"
My second uncle said, "I'm not busy. Is there something you need?"
In front of several village officials, Su Wei didn't want to tell the truth, so she lied and said, "My dad wants you to come to our house; he has something to discuss with you."
After hearing this, the second uncle didn't think anything of it. He figured his older brother was just looking for him about some family matters. He greeted a few village officials and walked out of the village committee with Su Wei.
On the way home, Su Wei said, "Second Uncle, it wasn't my father looking for you, it's my boss, Dong Qing, who wants to talk to you about something."
Dong Qing and Su Wei's second uncle had no relationship. After hearing this, the second uncle was puzzled. Why did he come to him?
However, he didn't ask any deeper questions, probably because his niece didn't quite understand why Dongqing wanted to see him. She would naturally understand when they met back home.
When the uncle and niece returned home, Dongqing stood up and handed Su Wei's second uncle a cigarette.
Su Wei's second uncle cut to the chase, saying, "You're a very busy person, is there something you need?"
"Let's talk inside!"
After Dong Qing finished speaking, he and his wife followed Su Wei's second uncle into the house.
Su Wei's house was very simple, three dilapidated tile-roofed houses that looked like they were from many years ago. They were in such bad shape inside and out that the front wall was leaning backward. If it weren't for the two walls and the walls inside the house supporting them, the house would probably have collapsed long ago. It's hard to say whether such an old tile-roofed house would leak during heavy rain.
Furthermore, the floor inside the house was uneven and pitted. Su Wei and her mother moved several stools from the yard into the house. It was difficult to find a flat spot for the four-legged stools to sit on. This kind of floor was most suitable for three-legged stools, as they could be placed flat no matter how they were placed.
After everyone sat down, Su Wei's second uncle said, "My eldest brother's family is just like this; they're simply too poor. My niece often praises you in front of me. Thank you for your financial support over the past few months."
Dong Qing said, "Second Uncle is too modest. I didn't financially support her. Everything I gave Su Wei was what she deserved. It's not easy for a girl to follow me around in my sports car business. I feel I haven't given her enough."
