Sheng Jinjin thought it was correct and immediately went to ask about the location of Old Mother He.
The gatekeeper didn't tell him, and Sheng Jinjin had to spend some money to get the address of Grandma He's factory.
The worker told Sheng Jinjin, "They live in a large compound in the suburbs; their whole family lives there."
Zhang Dahua asked suspiciously, "A large courtyard in the suburbs? Is it rented?"
The other person nodded, "Of course it's rented."
So where can you buy a courtyard house?
Zhang Dahua asked suspiciously, "Didn't you say you bought several houses? Why are you still renting?"
Did they not buy a house at all?
If they really buy a house, given how much He's mother loves to boast, she'll definitely brag about it to the whole world.
But the people in the factory didn't seem to know that; all they knew was that they had rented a large courtyard.
This is all thanks to He Yushen.
He knew Mother He's nature well; once she bought the house, she would definitely brag about it everywhere.
He Yushen told her that there were many kidnappers in this era, and if she told people how many houses she had bought, the kidnappers would come and abduct her.
She will be killed, and her grandson will be killed too.
At first, Old Mrs. He did not believe it.
Until I saw the news, an old man who owned 32 houses boasted all day about how rich he was, and one day his grandson was kidnapped by kidnappers after school.
The kidnappers demanded 800,000 yuan, or they would kill the hostage.
In the end, the old man sold all his houses to raise the money and finally managed to save the child.
However, the child was stunned when he came back.
It's said that he couldn't be saved; he seems to have been traumatized and returned to a dazed state, unable to recognize anyone.
The old woman cried uncontrollably. She had lost her money and her grandson was now ill. She was so frightened that she dared not show off anymore.
He only bragged about it to his relatives in the countryside during the Chinese New Year.
In Shanghai, one wouldn't dare flaunt their wealth anymore.
Moreover, her house wasn't even renovated yet, and she still had to save money, so she had been renting a large courtyard house to live in.
The factory workers didn't know they had bought a house, so they naturally told Zhang Dahua that they were renting.
Zhang Dahua was also full of doubts.
Go to the large courtyard that Grandma He rented.
As soon as we arrived, we heard a cacophony of chatter coming from the courtyard.
The He family has a large population.
The rented property is a three-story courtyard, where chickens, ducks, and geese are raised.
Zhang Dahua went in first to check things out. As soon as she entered, she saw chickens, ducks, and geese running around in the yard, which smelled terrible.
This dilapidated courtyard doesn't look like a place where rich people live.
Sheng Jinjin and Sheng Dahu also looked disgusted.
"Mom, is this Old Lady He lying to you?"
If you really bought that many houses, how could you possibly live in such a smelly place?
Zhang Dahua frowned. "Let's go in and take a look."
She went to call for someone, "In-laws? In-laws?"
Hearing the commotion, Old Mrs. He came out and, seeing it was them, clicked her tongue and said, "What brings you here?"
Is he planning to freeload his New Year's Eve dinner at her place?
The He family children also looked at Zhang Dahua and her two companions with disdain.
They assumed they were there to freeload.
Zhang Dahua saw what they were thinking and coughed to explain, "I just came to visit you. After all, I don't know many people in Shanghai. It's rare to find fellow townsmen like you, so I naturally wanted to drop by."
Old Mrs. He breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that the person hadn't come to freeload.
"Since you're just visiting, why didn't you bring anything?"
Seeing that their hands were empty, they clearly didn't understand the etiquette of visiting someone's home.
Zhang Dahua thought to herself, "You're already so rich, why do you still need me to give you gifts?"
He had to put on a smile and say, "It's just that we're poor. Unlike you guys, you buy so many houses and still rent out your yards. You have more money than you can spend."
Old Mrs. He proudly raised her chin, "It's all thanks to our hard work that we've become rich."
They were very poor at first, but thanks to He Yushen, they were forced to work.
After the whole family got back into the work rhythm, little by little, they gradually accumulated a lot.
The He family, in particular, has a large population, with all seven members earning money, so they naturally save faster than others.
Moreover, Grandma He was good at getting leftovers from the canteen, which reduced the family's food expenses, and over time they saved a lot of money.
Especially now that factories have raised wages, the average family member's income has increased by tens of yuan, so their wallets are naturally fuller.
She is now very confident and even told Zhang Dahua, "You should learn from us, find a factory to work hard, and the three of you can work together and earn three salaries."
The combined income from three sources is enough.
Zhang Dahua, however, felt that three meager salaries weren't enough to live on. She thought it would be better to find a rich man to rely on.
She remembered her purpose and pulled Old Mother He down to get information out of her.
"What kind of work has your sixth child been doing lately?"
Grandma He couldn't say for sure either, "It was at the car repair shop."
They weren't very clear about He Yushen's job, only that he worked at a car factory.
And he knows how to fix cars, so I guess he's a car mechanic.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dahua exclaimed, "A car mechanic?"
So he really is a car mechanic?
I thought He Yushen would at least be able to become a manager.
It seems I overestimated him.
Sheng Jinjin didn't believe it. "I don't think Brother He is an incompetent person. Shouldn't he be a manager?"
She always felt that He Yushen's temperament went beyond just repairing cars.
Unaware of the longing in her eyes for He Yushen, Old Mrs. He said nonchalantly, "Car repair is fine too. Car repairmen earn decent wages these days."
She also has a grandson who works as a car mechanic, and he gets a cut every time he finishes a repair.
Once I've completed my apprenticeship, I can open my own car repair shop.
Sheng Jinjin asked, "Then why doesn't Brother He open his own car repair shop?"
Without a second thought, Old Mrs. He said, "He's busy. He's running around with Sheng Yueqing every day. He doesn't have time to open a shop."
"Besides, opening a shop doesn't cost money, does it?"
She had already asked around and found out that opening a shop requires paying rent every month, plus utility bills.
If not many people come to repair their cars, they won't be able to cover the rent and will suffer huge losses.
So her grandson is also struggling with where to open the shop.
When Sheng Jinjin heard that He Yushen and Sheng Yueqing were running around everywhere, she felt jealous.
Is Sheng Yueqing really that good? Is she worth such a good man giving up his career for her and following her around every day?
What did she take He Yushen for?
Noticing that Sheng Jinjin's expression was off, Old Mrs. He asked, "Didn't you get married in the small town? Why did you come to Shanghai?"
She was unaware of Sheng Jinjin's divorce.
It's quite strange to see this family of three in Shanghai now.
Zhang Dahua sighed, "My Jinjin has a hard life. She married a lazy bum and they're divorced now. But her in-laws gave her 50,000 yuan in compensation, and we've bought a house in town."
She was afraid that Sheng Jinjin would be looked down upon after the divorce, so she specifically mentioned 50,000 yuan and the house.
Upon hearing the amount of 50,000, Old Mrs. He clicked her tongue and said, "If she can get 50,000 in compensation, it means she married well. How could she actually get a divorce?"
She felt that Sheng Jinjin really didn't know how to enjoy life.
The Zhu family is so wealthy; if they endure this for ten or eight years, Granny Zhu might die.
By then, the family fortune should be more than 50,000 yuan, right?
This Sheng Jinjin is really stupid; she doesn't know how to strategize.
Sheng Jinjin felt a little embarrassed when she saw that Old Mother He was looking at her like she was a fool.
“If I could live like this, I wouldn’t want a divorce. Not everyone can marry such a good son as yours.”
Mother He liked to hear these words.
"Putting everything else aside, my six sons are really good to their wives."
