"Half-blooded, probably. He was born after his stepmother came over. He has the same father as him but different mothers. You know what, the two brothers look quite alike."

Yi Yunshuo nodded, "That should be better than the brother with a different surname that his stepmother brought over."
"Oh, that's hard to say."
…
Lao Wang went to see Lu Jiangting for no other reason than to discuss the house he had applied for.
I thought that his family was in financial difficulty and I would retire soon, so I helped him solve the housing issue before retirement, which could be considered a good thing.
"The building has been completed and you can get the keys by the end of March. There are one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom apartments. You can apply for a two-bedroom apartment with your conditions. Last time I heard you say that you planned to pay more and get a three-bedroom apartment?"
"Yes, there are too many people in my family to fit in two rooms."
Lao Wang nodded and said, "Considering your family's actual situation, you can indeed apply for a three-bedroom apartment, but you have to pay extra."
"Sure, how much do you think you can add?"
"A three-bedroom apartment has 18 more square meters. According to the surrounding market price, one square meter costs 350 to 400 yuan. The specific price depends on which floor you get."
Lu Jiangting immediately said, "My parents are not in good health. They can't get in and out if the floor is high. I want a first floor."
"I can't make the decision on this. Go draw the lot first. If you draw it, that's the best. If you don't, talk to them about the exchange."
"Okay, Minister Wang, when do you think we'll draw the lots?"
"I'll go this afternoon."
"Okay, thank you."
Lu Jiangting came out of Lao Wang's office, feeling worried all the way.
Even if you get the worst floor, you still have to pay more than 6,000 yuan.
He only started saving money in the past one or two years, and he did receive a lot of bonuses when the project ended. Lao Wang promised that the bonus would be enough for them to buy a big motorcycle, and that bonus was indeed enough.
But their family's expenses were high, and my father's health was getting worse day by day. During the Chinese New Year, he fell seriously ill again. He was in emergency treatment for two days and stayed in the hospital for several days.
Apart from reimbursements, I also contributed a lot myself.
I earn a lot and spend a lot. Where can I get more than 6,000 yuan?
Unless Fang Qing can take out the money from selling the storefront, everything will be in vain.
However, even though he knew that he didn't have enough money, Lu Jiangting went to draw lots for a house in the afternoon and still chose the three-bedroom apartment.
He was lucky too. Although he didn't catch the first floor, he caught the third floor.
The third floor is the best floor, with the third floor being the best floor.
Lu Jiangting held the note and shouted, "I caught the one on the third floor of unit two. Who of you caught the one on the first floor? Anyone want to switch with me?"
The third floor is the best floor, and someone who grabbed a unit on the first floor raised his hand before others.
"I'm on the first floor, I'm on the first floor of unit 1, I'll switch with you."
A middle-aged man ran over, holding the ticket for the first floor.
Among those who came to draw lots, Lu Jiangting was the youngest. Others had to wait for many years before they could get a room. Lu Jiangting had full BUFFs, and with the help of Lao Wang, he was able to get a room at such a young age, which made people very enviable.
"Comrade, you are so young and you are already on the list?"
Lu Jiangting sighed, "My family is poor, and I am the only boy. My parents are in poor health, so I took them in. The organization took care of me and gave me this opportunity."
"I thought you had done something great to earn extra points."
How come this isn't considered a great achievement?
This time, their entire department made great contributions and everyone got extra points.
"Your parents are old and in poor health, so you want the one on the first floor, right?"
"Yes."
"The third floor is the best place in the house. I am very filial to give it up for my parents."
Lu Jiangting smiled and said, "It's my duty."
The other party quickly changed room numbers with him.
Everyone goes to register with their room number, and once registered, it cannot be changed.
In the evening, Lu Jiangting returned home with the room number and told Dakong that he could get the house, as he had drawn the first floor.
Fang Qing next to him said directly: "The first floor is noisy, not as good as the third and fourth floors. Oh! Bad luck too."
Lu Jiangting: “…” He thought to himself that it was a good thing that he changed it on the spot, otherwise Fang Qing was so selfish that she would definitely not be willing to change it.
And the third floor is the most expensive, luckily I changed it.
"Next time you'll be the one to catch me."
Fang Qing: “…”
Lu Cong on the bed snorted coldly and said, "Be happy that you're being given a room, and you picked it. If Jiang Ting wasn't good at his job, with your penny-per-dollar personality, you'd never be able to live in a new house."
Fang Qing choked and touched her newly done hair.
She thought she was already very frugal, so she went to get her hair done during the Chinese New Year, thinking that a new hairstyle would bring good luck in the new year, but she was scolded several times by the old man.
He would ridicule her whenever he got the chance, and it would never end.
"Dad, I spent my own money. I haven't touched Jiang Ting's money for a year. Even the money for buying groceries was mostly paid by me."
Lu Cong, "Why don't you say that you can live in this free house thanks to our Jiang Ting? We didn't even ask you for rent, but you have the nerve to talk to us about food money. Besides, don't you know how much money you have? During those years, Jiang Ting didn't save a penny, and you know exactly who got all the money."
Fang Qing was speechless for a moment.
Lu Jiangting, who rarely interrupted his father and Fang Qing when they were arguing, interrupted at this time.
"Don't say anything, the past is the past. Dad, I gave the money to Fang Qing voluntarily. Now we are a family, no matter who has it."
Lu Cong choked, "You kid... ah!"
He felt that his son was hopeless. His health was getting worse day by day. He was really worried. If he died, what would happen to his son?
On the other side, Fang Qing was very moved.
Perhaps it was because she had suffered too much and endured too much hardship over the past year, and it was rare for Lu Jiangting to say a few words for her, which moved her deeply.
She began to think vaguely in her heart that maybe after the immortal old man died, they could go back to the past.
No, even if we can't go back to the past, life won't be any different.
Lu Jiangting will treat her well.
Seeing Fang Qing's expression soften, Lu Jiangting also spoke hesitantly.
"Fang Qing, given my situation, I could only move to a two-bedroom house. But considering our family's actual situation, a two-bedroom house is simply not enough. Minister Wang took care of us and helped us apply for a three-bedroom house."
Fang Qing also knew about this. Lu Jiangting had told her a long time ago that he wanted to get a bigger house.
"Uncle Wang is fine. Thank you some other day."
"I've already thanked you. I'm telling you this, it's not about thanking you or not, but I need to pay more for the bigger house. I don't have enough money, how much do you have?"
Fang Qing choked.
So you want her to pay?
"Don't you have enough money?"
"not enough."
Fang Qing pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled a little ugly.
