"Then, could you lend your courtyard house to your nephew and his family to live in? They'll move out once their work unit allocates them apartments."
Seeing that the indirect approach wasn't working, Sister-in-law Shen spoke directly, no longer beating around the bush.
"Sister-in-law, please don't bring this up. That house was left by Gu Ze's mother and has a special sentimental value to it. It's impossible for us to lend it out."
"What sentimentality? So much time has passed, how can it just stay empty? Isn't that a waste of the house?"

"Mom and Dad, Gu Ze has made arrangements. He has entrusted the house to Gu Ye and his wife."
Just like before, Gu Ye entrusted everything to Gu Ze.
Xuanyi and Xuanyu came back to see you during their vacation. Now that I'm gone, it might be three to five years before I can come back. Please take good care of yourselves.
"Okay, don't worry, Gu Ze made the right move. If we want to develop further, we must achieve results."
