Chapter 305 The Consequences of Meddling
But by evening, An Songyu was speechless.
"So it really was you who gave them the idea?" Bi Lizhu looked at her second daughter with a helpless expression.
An Songyu did not deny it.
"You child, really... you meddle in everything!" Bi Lizhu was even more helpless, but she still quickly started preparing things for the guests.
It turns out that after Sister Yun left today, she naturally told her family about An Songyu's suggestion.
But I don't know how they operate it.
Anyway, after lunch, not only Jiang Wenlin, who had been invited over, learned that the idea came from An Songyu.
Many families in the village already knew about it.
So that afternoon, from Yuan Qionghua to Bi Lizhu, no one had a moment's peace.
So as soon as Bi Lizhu returned, she quickly asked her daughter what had happened.
After hearing the details, she didn't know whether to criticize her daughter for being carefree or the Jiang family for being inconsiderate.
But clearly, now is not the right time.
A short while later, An's doorbell rang.
An Songyu opened the door with a helpless expression, only to see that the people coming from outside were the other An families from Jiangcun.
When Jiangcun was demolished, there were as many as nineteen households with the surname An.
But An Songyu's large family occupied a total of eleven households.
So apart from An Songyu and his large family, there are only eight An families left in Jiangcun.
Among them, the village party secretary's family accounts for three households.
The remaining uncle and paternal uncle were also descendants of the same great-grandfather as An Songyu and his family.
The other three also share the surname An, but their blood relationship is slightly more distant.
But they must have the same ancestor.
It's just that the relationship gradually drifted apart after a few generations.
Currently, those welcomed in by An Songyu include most of these eight families.
The only ones who didn't come were An Jianxing, the village party secretary, and his elderly father.
The other families not only sent people, but some also sent people who could take charge of the household.
For example, An Jianxing's older brother, An Jiansheng, was the only able-bodied man in the group.
After everyone sat down and drank hot tea, the group looked at each other, and finally one of the sisters-in-law from Uncle An Songyu's family spoke up.
Clearly, the group had discussed it before coming over.
From the moment she opened her mouth, she went straight to the heart of the matter:
"Xiaoyu! I heard from the Jiang family that you also think it's worth buying the houses they built in Fengyin Bay?"
Before An Songyu could even speak about this, he was met with a glare from Bi Lizhu.
She was quite helpless and was about to decline when the only elder in the group spoke up.
An Shunkang looked at everyone before saying, "What are you talking about? Whether to buy a house or not, whether you can buy one or not, do you expect Ayu to make that decision for your family?"
After saying that, he turned around and looked at An Songyu and her daughter, saying with great embarrassment:
“Jianping’s wife, Xiaoyu, the old man came along with them to join in the fun today.”
"But whether or not it's what you say doesn't really matter, since buying a house is entirely up to the individual."
"But there's something else I'd like to ask about while we're at this opportunity."
The mother and daughter both held this sixth uncle in the highest regard.
He used to run a convenience store at the end of a street in Jiangcun.
Later, I also drove a car in Xinlin Village for a period of time.
Unfortunately, the business opportunity he brought was quickly learned by the people of Xinlin Village.
Fortunately, they moved to Happiness Garden soon after.
Due to its location, there are no shops inside or outside the Happiness Garden residential complex.
However, many of the original shops are still located on the streets near the residential area.
When the Kang family in Anshun bought their house, they had already asked Yuan Qionghua to help them find a shop here.
Later, a shop was found, but the building was really old.
An Shunkang approached the homeowner himself and tried every possible method to persuade him to agree to sell the house.
The house is currently being demolished and rebuilt.
This is also one of the jobs An Songyu will be doing near the Happiness Garden residential area.
Nowadays, An Songyu's family's construction and decoration teams have almost become Jiangcun's go-to teams.
When a family finds a suitable plot of land for building a house, the first thing they do is come to An Songyu's family to ask about the situation.
At the very least... it needs to be convenient for construction and renovation!
To get back to the point, both mother and daughter knew An Shunkang's personality, and when they heard he had something to ask, they quickly said:
"Uncle, please don't be so polite. Feel free to ask me anything."
"This old man won't stand on ceremony!" An Shunkang looked at the mother and daughter seriously for a while before asking:
"I heard from the Jiang family that your family doesn't intend to sell the house you built in Fengyin Bay for the time being?"
"Didn't I hear there are twelve floors? Can your family and relatives all fit in?"
"Little Rain!"
“I know your family probably doesn’t lack the money for that house.”
"But your family won't be staying in Fengyin Bay for long. If they only stay there occasionally, do you think you need to keep so many houses?"
The An family members who came with them were also somewhat tempted upon hearing this.
They quickly chimed in, "That's right, Fengyin Bay isn't close to us at all!"
"I heard that it's near the sea and not suitable for living there when there are big typhoons."
"If you don't live there often, the house will deteriorate more easily if it's empty..."
"And it's definitely more humid at the beach!"
Bi Lizhu couldn't help but look at her daughter. How could she have told her about this?
But there was really no point in hiding this issue, so she spoke directly:
"Sixth Uncle, our building doesn't occupy a particularly large area."
"Because the house is designed to be large, there are not many rooms on each floor."
"Don't be fooled by the fact that it has twelve floors; it only has about thirty or forty households in total."
"Thirty or forty households is quite a lot!" Many of the visitors couldn't help but mutter.
“Thirty or forty rooms is quite a lot!” Since Bi Lizhu had already brought it up, she simply didn’t hide it anymore:
“We originally designed the house to be so big because we thought that it would be enough for our big family, with each of us brothers to have our own house.”
"When the time comes, whether it's relatives or friends, there will be enough space to entertain them when they come to visit."
"But aren't all the children grown up now?"
“They not only have their own families, but also relatives and friends.”
"This set of one set for each family is not so suitable."
However, at the time, they decided not to leave those apartments upstairs, each over 200 square meters, to them.
However, this matter is not yet fully confirmed.
But who would have thought that someone would come knocking on my door today?
"As for Jianping's family, I'll just ask directly: are there any extra? If so, could you reserve one for my family?" An Shunkang simply didn't ask anything else, only the result.
Hearing his words, not only were An Songyu and her daughter quite surprised.
Even the other members of the An family who came with him were somewhat taken aback.
