Chapter 33 Looking at Furniture
The things at home have been sorted out almost completely. I have sorted out the unnecessary items and sold them directly as scrap.
"Our village is really lively now. The scrap collectors shout with loudspeakers every day, and go door to door to carry away the scraps in truckloads." Yang Fangqin, who had just sold the things she didn't need at home, said with a smile while counting the money.
"That's right, with the junk collectors, the bank, and those selling health products, it's even more lively than the town." Zhong Hui wanted to laugh when she thought of the hustle and bustle at the village entrance.
"The service attitude of banks nowadays is really good. I went to deposit some money a few days ago, and they asked about my well-being and even gave me two barrels of oil as a gift."
"Giving away oil is stingy. The Agricultural Bank is the most generous. Now they give away pressure cookers and frying pans for large deposits. It's really varied. They give away everything."
"It's really rare." Zhong Hui shook her head and laughed.
"By the way, those who sell health supplements say that they are products imported from abroad. Eating them is good for your health and longevity. It is also good for your skin and can reduce the appearance of wrinkles." Yang Fangqin said this with great interest.
"Sister-in-law, it's food after all. Who knows if it's edible? Don't spend money and then suffer. It's better not to buy it." Zhong Hui said hurriedly.
Yang Fangqin waved her hands: "I don't want to eat, I don't want to eat."
She felt a little guilty about saying this. She didn't buy any, but Zhong Xiong bought a lot, saying that they were useful for men.
Thinking of last night, Yang Fangqin blushed and quickly changed the subject: "Lao Po bought quite a lot later. She's usually so stingy, but I didn't expect her to be so generous when it comes to health supplements. She bought thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars in one go."
Zhong Hui took a deep breath and said, "You bought so many?"
"That's right. Their family hasn't split up. The sons are all together. The demolition compensation is now in the hands of Mrs. Lai. She has plenty of money now."
"That's not how you spend money." Zhong Hui disagreed.
There were many who disagreed. Yang Fangqin also said, "Her family was large, and they were allocated four resettlement houses. Mrs. Lai lived in one, and each of her three sons had one. The houses were divided evenly, but Mrs. Lai, as you know, was partial. She only had her eye on the third son. I heard she bought him a car worth over 300,000 yuan, but didn't buy anything for her other sons."
"A car worth over 300,000 yuan?" Zhong Hui couldn't help but gasp in amazement. "You're really willing to spend that much."
"That's right. She is generous to the third son, but she is stingy with her other sons. There are some quarrels in her family." Yang Fangqin shook her head when she spoke of this. There was nothing she could do. Lai Pozi's resettlement house was just downstairs from her house. There would be a lot of fun to watch in the future.
Zhong Hui could also imagine that scene. Lai Po's family would never be peaceful again.
"Okay, stop meddling in other people's affairs. Hurry up, we're going to the furniture store. We have to move there tomorrow. We haven't bought the furniture yet." Zhong Xiong started his broken van and waved to Zhong Hui and her sister-in-law.
"Here we are." The two got in the car.
When the car started and passed by Lai Pozi's house, I saw her third son washing the car, looking so proud.
Seeing Zhong Xiong's car, he stopped it and said, "Brother Daxiong, why don't you change your car? This van is not worthy of your status now. It should be a Volkswagen at least. Look at mine, the latest model Santana, the seats are all leather..."
Zhong Xiong smiled and said, "This car is good, but I, your brother, go to the construction site every day, so no matter how good the car is, it will be useless."
"It's not in vain. A car is a man's face. Sister Fangqin, you can't let my brother lose face." Lai Laosan leaned into the window and said to Yang Fangqin.
Yang Fangqin didn't want to pay attention to him. She smiled and said, "We are not as generous as your mother. I can't bear to give away such an expensive car."
Lai Laosan smiled complacently: "Hehe."
"Brother, we have something else to do, so let's not talk anymore. See you later." Zhong Xiong waved his hand and stepped on the accelerator to drive past Lai's house.
"This car's speed is not good. My Santana is better." Lai Laosan was very proud.
Lai Laosan's two brothers stood at the door with dissatisfaction on their faces. Why did they only buy it for the third brother?
However, the money is in my hands, and they can't do anything about it.
The eldest and second sons of the Lai family were not convinced, and their wives were even more dissatisfied.
…
"Lai Lao San is so stupid. The eldest and second eldest are right at the door, yet his face is so dark." Yang Fangqin said speechlessly.
"If this continues, these two brothers will have a fight."
"People's brains must be beaten into dog brains."
Since the demolition, the brothers in Xiatuan Village, who used to seem quite harmonious, have become extremely jealous of each other when they meet recently.
Why else? It’s because the parents don’t divide the money fairly. Zhong Xiong said that the brothers are fighting and not getting along because the elders are not treating the brothers fairly.
If you treat everyone equally, there won't be so many problems.
Zhong Xiong shook his head and started thinking about buying a car: "Wife, what do you say about me buying a small car? This one is usually used to go to the construction site and load materials. If I buy a better one, I can pick up those bosses and it will be more prestigious."
"Okay, buy it if you want." This is a serious matter, and Yang Fangqin also supports it. This is how business is done. A better car can show your wealth, and others will be more willing to deal with you.
"Okay, then I'll go look at the car." Zhong Xiong said happily. He was also envious of Lai Laosan's car, it was so fashionable.
"After we buy a car, you should also go and get a driver's license. If I get drunk during social events, you can drive." Zhong Xiong said again.
"Okay, I'll be a female driver too." Yang Fangqin agreed immediately.
"Sister-in-law, if you go to sign up, please call me so I can take the test too." Zhong Hui said. Although she didn't have a car, she could buy one in the future.
"Sure, I'll definitely call you."
"Then you must study hard and try to get your driver's license as soon as possible, so that you won't need me to drive when you go out in the future." Zhong Xiong joked.
"Don't worry, I can't be worse than you. If you get your driver's license in two months, I can definitely get it in one month." Yang Fangqin said arrogantly.
"Then I'll just wait." Zhong Xiong looked like he was watching a joke.
Yang Fangqin was convinced: "Just wait, when I get my driver's license, I will blind your eyes."
Zhong Hui didn't dare to say this. She was happy that she could get her driver's license in three months.
Soon the three of them arrived at the furniture store. Zhong Xiong was familiar with the owner of a store here and took them straight into the store.
