Chapter Sixty-Nine: They've all grown up.
The more An Jianping thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
But he couldn't give up what he originally wanted to say, so he said:
“Lizhu, you should know that when I was in Jiangcun, I asked for two extra plots of land for building houses.”
"And does that mean putting the orchards and mulberry-dike-fishponds under their names respectively?"
Bi Lizhu's body stiffened slightly, and the emotions that were still lingering in her heart seemed to vanish in an instant.
She pursed her lips and looked at her husband, thinking he knew about her next plan.
“So, Lizhu, how about we try to trust the children?” An Jianping looked intently at his wife and made the earnest suggestion.
Bi Lizhu tried to think rationally.
She and her husband have always had some differences in their educational philosophies.
For Bi Lizhu.
The eldest son will not only have to shoulder the responsibility of raising more sons in the future.
She was also the only one of the three siblings to get married.
Therefore, in her mind, her eldest son was a true adult.
Naturally, one has the right to manage one's own family finances.
But the daughters are not!
They're still young and unmarried!
Therefore, when considering the children's situation, Bi Lizhu habitually treats her eldest son and his wife as an equal family.
The two daughters, however, are still their own children.
Therefore, regarding the demolition compensation received by the three individuals...
She subconsciously felt that, even if they wanted to get involved in how to handle things on her son's side, they should discuss it with him first.
However, the two daughters' belongings should still be kept by the parents.
Especially such a large sum of compensation for demolition.
The thought of her daughters being in her hands made Bi Lizhu feel uneasy.
"Lizhu, Xiaoyu and Xiaoxiang are really grown up now." An Jianping said at just the right moment, as if he knew what his wife was thinking.
"Xiaoyu didn't come back until so many days after hearing the news. Do you really think she was just enduring it?"
"Did you secretly verify a lot of things behind our backs?"
"Otherwise, why would Xiaoyu be so certain about the Jiangcun matter?"
"Have you forgotten? Xiaoyu's original plan was not to return to Shuncheng, but to stay in Nanshi!"
"As for Xiao Xiang, look at her from graduation until now."
"Whether it's getting what she wants or maintaining social relationships, she does a great job!"
"Where is there any social interaction?" Bi Lizhu was still a little confused about her second daughter's situation, but when it came to her youngest daughter, she couldn't help but mutter to herself.
"What do you mean, no? Didn't she prepare a gift for you on your birthday? She even took you out to eat!" An Jianping smiled helplessly.
"Also, who bought you your first bottle of perfume?"
"Wasn't it something your youngest daughter's colleague asked you to bring back when she went back to Hong Kong?"
"And your colleague wanted to help buy things from Hong Kong, so she initially asked her colleague to bring them back for her."
"Now I go by myself almost every month."
"They even learned how to combine orders without being taught, and then used the discounts they earned to buy things for you?"
“You’re missing something!” Bi Lizhu couldn’t help but glare at her husband.
"Of course I didn't shortchange you!" An Jianping was extremely helpless. Was that what he wanted to say?
Bi Lizhu, however, had already realized what was happening.
She sat on the bed, staring blankly for a while, before finally saying in a daze, "So, our children have all grown up!"
“Of course they’ve grown up!” An Jianping nodded matter-of-factly.
The pride in his expression was impossible to conceal.
Bi Lizhu's complicated feelings were shattered by An Jianping's expression.
She glared at her husband, somewhat displeased.
This man truly doesn't understand her heart at all.
That's probably what they think.
Bi Lizhu, however, could not deny it.
To be fair, her three children are all quite good.
"Do you think the second sister really knew something back then? And how did she find out?"
"You said she went to verify it? How did she verify it?"
"Should we go to their hotel rooftop again?"
"How can this child be so bold?"
"And what exactly did she confirm?"
"Did...she also know that the demolition wouldn't be too far off?" Bi Lizhu originally wanted to ask, but she changed her mind before saying it.
An Jianping looked at his wife with approval.
Even when it's just the two of them in the room, there are some things they'd rather not say casually.
Seeing that her husband was only staring at her without answering, Bi Lizhu couldn't help but urge him a couple more times.
An Jianping shook his head slightly: "This... nobody knows."
"Lizhu, you shouldn't ask about such things."
"If Xiaoyu could explain it clearly, why wouldn't she tell us?"
"It can't be explained clearly. Even if we ask, Xiaoyu still can't tell us, right?"
“But…can Xiaoyu really have news? This, this, where did she come from?” Ren Bilizhu racked her brains but couldn’t figure it out.
If what the second daughter said is true, she only listened to the phone call from the top floor of the hotel.
But it shouldn't be this detailed!
As for the rest...
Based on Bi Lizhu's understanding of her second daughter.
It seems that apart from the classmates who go to school in Nanshi, I don't know all the other classmates.
You can get a general idea.
After all, this child's social circle has only ever been that big!
An Jianping looked at his wife helplessly.
He just said that if his daughter could talk, she would have told them already.
The reason why it can't be said will become clear if you think about it carefully.
Or perhaps the news is confirmed, but it's indeed not suitable to spread.
Or perhaps the information isn't entirely confirmed, and the daughter doesn't want to tell the family and cause them worry.
Seeing An Jianping staring at her like that, Bi Lizhu finally realized what was happening.
It's not that she didn't think of these things.
Well... I was just too shocked to react for a moment.
After all, in her mind, her two daughters were still children who needed their parents to make decisions for them!
Now she suddenly realizes that their ideas are bigger than she imagined.
Bi Lizhu was a little confused for a while.
Before Bi Lizhu could think any further, the sound of a door opening came from outside.
The An Songyu sisters, who were calculating how much money they each had left in their room, quickly came out when they heard the noise.
In the small living room, An Songlin and his wife were carrying a large watermelon and placing it on the table.
Upon seeing her parents and younger sister, she immediately greeted them: "Dad, Mom, Xiaoyu, Xiaoxiang."
"We saw a watermelon vendor when we came in through the side gate of the residential compound."
"They were just picked from the field this morning, they're so sweet."
An Songxiang pouted slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but An Songyu gently pulled her back.
The two sisters had already had a good chat in the room.
Since the house has already been bought for my brother and sister-in-law, and it was the right thing to do, then...
So, the two sisters shouldn't be the bad guys.
After all, their original intention was not that they thought the house should not be sold to their brother and sister-in-law.
They simply felt that they hadn't been treated fairly by their parents.
They even kept it a secret!
So, if some things are said aloud, it will affect the relationship between the siblings.
They only have three siblings, and they'll have to live together for a lifetime!
There's no need to leave such an obvious rift just for the sake of a momentary verbal sparring.
Of course, this is also because the two sisters also benefited.
So An Songxiang was pulled by her older sister and temporarily gave up on speaking her mind.
