Chapter 36: Eating Watermelon
"Xiaojuan is really something. Her personality is similar to that of my third sister." After the two of them came out, Zhong Li whispered to Zhong Hui.
"There's nothing I can do. Family influence is huge." Zhong Hui didn't know what to say.
Her third sister's temper has been like this for a long time.
"Forget it, let's not talk about her." Zhong Li shook her head and changed the subject.
Seeing Song Yuting again, he asked, "Second sister-in-law, where is the house you chose?"
"Our house is in Building 4, right next to it, on the seventh floor. The layout is similar, but we don't live there, so we just rent it out," said Song Yuting.
"How much is it per month?"
"Four hundred and eight."
"That's fine, but I don't know if the tenants will take good care of it. It's a new house."
"The tenant is a young man who rented a house from my eldest brother's place before. He shares the house with two other colleagues. He looks like a clean-cut guy, so he should be okay." Song Yuting was not very sure.
It has been rented out for half a month. There are three men sharing the house, so it is not convenient for her to go and see it.
"Is that Xiao Liao?" Zhong Hui also had an impression of him.
"Yes, that's him. He looks like a nice guy."
"It must be very clean. When he rented a house from my eldest brother, he cleaned it every day." Zhong Hui said with a smile.
"Then I feel relieved." Song Yuting breathed a sigh of relief.
Hearing that the house could earn 480 yuan a month if rented out, Zhong Li had some new ideas in her mind. In fact, she could also buy a house in Xinhe Community and collect rent from it.
On second thought, that wouldn't work either. She still had to go to the city to buy one. After all, her son Yishu had to go to school, and the environment in the city would be better.
Then he said to Zhong Hui and Song Yuting, "Hui, sister-in-law, when you are free, let's go to the city to look at houses."
"Okay, I'm going to take a look too." Zhong Hui agreed immediately.
"I'm not sure, unless I go on the weekend." Song Yuting's time is not so flexible.
"Then I'll call you when the time comes, and I'll go if I have time."
"OK."
…
After moving into their new home, which is next door to their eldest brother's house, Zhong Hui and Zhong Linlin have adapted well.
"Mom, it's a new house." Zhong Linlin curled up on the sofa with her legs spread out, occupying most of the sofa.
"What's this move?" Zhong Hui said to her.
"This is how I practice in my summer dance class. I watch TV and practice basic skills at the same time." Zhong Linlin smiled.
Let her do whatever she wants at her own home. Zhong Hui also understands that no matter how familiar she is with her uncle's house, it can never be as familiar as her own home.
"Linlin, do you want an apple? Mommy will peel it for you." After sitting for a while, Zhong Hui saw that there was really nothing to do, so she said.
"Okay, okay." Zhong Linlin's eyes were still fixed on the TV.
Zhong Hui smiled helplessly, went into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator door and took out two apples.
The kitchen in this apartment is quite large, so Zhong Huichao bought a larger refrigerator so that it can hold more things.
Taking out a fruit knife from the cupboard, Zhong Hui stood next to the trash can and slowly peeled an apple.
She bought the apple at the supermarket in town. Xinhe Community is really inconvenient. Apart from the residents, there is no one selling fruits and vegetables.
I don’t know if Aunt Meihua’s suggestion of opening a fruit shop will work out. If she does, it will be more convenient for her to buy fruits.
Just as I was thinking about Aunt Meihua, I heard a knock on the door.
"Linlin, go open the door."
"Grandma Meihua."
Zhong Hui came out and smiled immediately: "I was just thinking about you, and here you are."
Zhong Hui cut the peeled apple into several halves and placed them on a plate, then asked Aunt Meihua to sit down.
"Auntie, have a glass of water." Zhong Hui took a glass of water from the water dispenser against the wall.
Aunt Meihua took it and looked at the decoration of Zhong Hui's home: "You know what, your home looks bright and bright."
"Not bad." Zhong Hui was also quite satisfied.
After sitting for a while, Aunt Meihua ate a piece of apple and finally couldn't help but say, "Hui, we moved into the new building, and now I have nothing to do every day. In the village, I can still grow vegetables and collect rent. Now it's only been one day, and I sit at home from morning till night. I really can't stand it."
"When will you open the small shop you mentioned? I'll open a fruit shop next to yours. Then we can be together and have company and chat."
"Of course. I'm still busy now. I've already bought the storefront, but I've been busy renting out those two buildings lately, so I haven't had time to set up a small shop." Zhong Hui didn't feel bored. She went here and there every day, and her life was quite comfortable.
"You haven't put up ads for renting out your house yet?" Aunt Meihua asked with concern.
"It starts tomorrow. I just cleaned up, so I need to look clean."
"That's true."
"Then it's a deal. We'll open a shop together and side by side. Otherwise, we'll have to run a long way just to have a chat," Aunt Meihua reminded.
"Let me tell you, it's too inconvenient here right now. We need to open the store quickly. Then it will be lively here." Aunt Meihua was ready to go.
"Of course, but, Auntie, have you found a storefront?" Zhong Hui reminded her, "I already bought mine last time."
The property certificates had all arrived, a thick stack. Zhong Hui had taken Zhong Linlin's schoolbag to put them in, but it was full, so she had someone find a big plastic bag for them.
In order to get these property certificates, Zhong Hui specially bought a safe and placed it in her room. There was no other way, it couldn't fit in the drawer.
"I have seen it. Your uncle and I have been to see it twice. I asked Xiao Nie, and you bought five storefronts, so there is only one left at the end of the street, which happens to be next to yours." Aunt Meihua also regretted not buying it earlier.
All the good shops are sold out now. It is true that you have to do everything as early as possible. Any delay will easily lead to mistakes.
"It's okay. We can open a fruit shop or a small shop. It doesn't matter if the location is a little off. I'll open one next to yours so we can chat." Zhong Hui smiled. "As for the other ones, I'll rent them out. They're closer to the front so they're easier to rent."
"Okay, then it's a deal." Aunt Meihua was very happy to be able to be neighbors with Zhong Hui.
"By the way, didn't you say last time that you'd tell you once the Zhong Fang family incident had concluded? I heard that He Yanqing agreed to a divorce, but the accountant has to pay her 4.8 million in compensation."
"So much? Will the accountant agree to that?" The accountant is not a generous person. This time, more than half of the demolition money will be divided out.
"You can't refuse. That woman is pregnant and waiting to come home. The He family is not pushovers. Besides, the accountant's eyes are shining with longing for a grandson, but he can't bear to give up the one in her belly." Aunt Meihua looked like she was enjoying a good show.
Zhong Hui also felt that it was right. This family, with the old man favoring boys over girls and the men being unruly, deserved to lose money.
"What about Siqi? Who will be awarded to her?" Zhong Hui quite liked that quiet girl. She was good at studying and was in the same class as Zhong Xu.
"Give it to He Yanqing. The accountant doesn't want it." Aunt Meihua said this, feeling that she had brought shame to Xiatuan Village.
"That's good. It's better for the child to stay with the mother."
"That's right. If you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. It's still more noble to follow your biological mother. Besides, my biological mother has a lot of money now. Only by following her can you live a good life."
Zhong Hui nodded, turned her head to look at her daughter who was sitting upright, and couldn't help laughing.
It is better to raise your daughter yourself. She is your own child and cannot be treated harshly by others.
