Su Yu said, "Now, Director Zhou's house, frankly speaking, is a unit-allocated residence. It cannot be passed down as family property. Neither boys nor girls can inherit it."

Grandma Zhou suddenly realized the biggest problem, as if struck by lightning. Her eldest grandson would end up with nothing.

"What should we do then?"

"Well... if you ask me, Auntie, you should start making arrangements to buy a house for your child."

"..." Old Mrs. Zhou's face turned red with embarrassment. She had never even dared to think about buying a house.

Having come from the countryside, she still held the mindset of a rural old woman who relied on her son for a living, not a true city dweller.

Li Mei also tugged at Su Yu, "Su Yu, you can't just come up with this idea casually."

If the old lady goes back and makes a scene, wouldn't that just add fuel to the fire?

They used to argue about trivial things, but this time they're arguing about the house itself—it's like they're going to tear the roof off! Su Yu won't come out on top then.

Reminded by her words, Su Yu suddenly realized what was happening and looked anxious and worried. "Auntie, this..."

"I'll bring this up when I get back."

Old Mrs. Zhou was about to go home and make a scene with her son. She felt that she was really not as smart as those city people; she had only just remembered something so important.

Su Yu and Li Mei immediately became anxious and pulled her away.

Su Yu said, "Auntie, I'm not done yet. It's no use making a scene like this. If you make a scene, everyone will laugh at Director Zhou, and then we'll have done something wrong. I have a way to make them buy a house for your grandson on their own."

"Really?" Old Mrs. Zhou looked at her.

"Really, really," Su Yu said nervously. Then she winked at Li Mei.

Li Mei also pulled Zhou Laotai along, "Yes, Su Yu is very smart. She has a way. Aunt Zhou, don't worry."

Old Mrs. Zhou asked, "Is there any way?"

"..." Su Yu looked at her speechlessly, "Why don't you sit here for a while, and I'll go to your house to talk to Director Zhou and your daughter-in-law. If you bring it up yourself, it'll be like you're asking for things. Wouldn't it sound better if your son were to be filial to you and give you things?"

She kept giving Li Mei a meaningful look. Li Mei steeled herself and said, "Auntie, you can have Su Yu handle this. Let them buy it for you voluntarily."

How could that be?

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Zhou said, "Alright, let Su Xian go and mention it to them. If they don't agree, I'll make a scene."

Su Yu then got up and went to Director Zhou's house.

Director Zhou is at home helping his two children with their homework.

His son was somewhat evasive and unwilling to get close to him, so he could only patiently sit beside him. At least his mother wasn't making a fuss at home, which made him feel much more relaxed.

Su Yu didn't go inside, but called out from outside, "Teacher Li."

Director Zhou's wife heard the noise and came out. "Are you the comrade who came with Li Mei?"

"Yes, you can just call me Su. Teacher Li, can we talk?"

Director Zhou's wife glanced inside the house, wiped her hands, and came out. The two of them walked a few steps into the yard.

Su Yu said, "Teacher Li, like Sister Mei, I work in Director Zhou's department. My name is Su Yu. I'm here today mainly to help Sister Mei's child with his tutoring. To be honest, Director Zhou has been in a bad mood lately, and we can all tell."

Director Zhou's wife immediately felt a little embarrassed. A man's bad mood is always caused by unrest at home.

Su Yu sighed, "Don't misunderstand. Actually, if it were someone else, I might not be so enthusiastic. After all, Director Zhou is our leader, so he's more or less kinder than others. When the old lady was over there just now, we also tried to persuade her. To be honest, the old lady is very stubborn. So, after thinking it over and over, there's only one way to let Teacher Li live a peaceful life from now on."

Director Zhou's wife said in a muffled voice, "Su, do you have any ideas?"

"Let the old lady and her eldest grandson find another house to live in."

“…This, this won’t sound good if word gets out. No, this isn’t right,” Director Zhou’s wife shook her head repeatedly. She was actually eager to do it this way, but Old Zhou might not agree, and then she, as his wife, would be the subject of gossip. “Besides, my mother-in-law might not agree either; if she makes a scene, it won’t look good.”

Su Yu said, "Teacher Li, let's not talk about Auntie's side yet. With your life like this, arguing every other day, when will it ever end? To be honest, the reason I'm concerned about this matter is partly because of Director Zhou. He's my superior, and if he's in a bad mood, it inevitably affects us subordinates. I just want everyone to be okay. If you agree, I'll go to Auntie's side. But Teacher Li, renting a place is definitely not an option. It really doesn't sound good. If it were me, buying a house would be the most suitable."

Director Zhou's wife exclaimed in surprise, "That must cost a lot of money!"

"Just buy a single room."

Director Zhou's wife was still hesitating.

“Teacher Li, we’re all women. It’s only comfortable to live a peaceful life. I understand your suffering. My mom and grandma used to argue a lot, and when I felt wronged, I could only cry. But things got better after we moved out. Spend a few hundred yuan to buy a single room, and you can live a peaceful life for the rest of your days. Isn’t that wonderful?”

Director Zhou's wife asked, "Where can we buy it in such a short time?"

Su Yu said, "I came to you about this matter after careful consideration. To be honest, I've reserved a single room for my brother, which he plans to move into after he gets married. If you don't mind, you can give it to your family."

Director Zhou's wife immediately became wary, thinking Su Yu wanted to deliver something.
