After the first courtyard house was completed, Song Jin asked Song Ming and the other two to keep an eye on it. She didn't really expect to get rich by collecting rent from courtyard houses like in the novels she had read before, she just liked it.
If she gets married and has children in the future, she will have her own house and can live wherever she wants, and she will have housing freedom.
As for money, she had so much in her space that she couldn't spend it all.
But it can be guessed through the space. From the moment she discovered the space, came here, and later collected so much wealth, these were all her opportunities. When the policy allows in the future, she should do more charity.
She didn’t believe in these things before, but after traveling through time, she, an atheist, started to believe in them.
Although the courtyard house was not dilapidated and was well preserved, Song Jin still asked Song Ming to arrange people to clean it inside and out, and any repairs in the backyard and garden were also to be tidied up.
She started working again.
Section Chief Zhu went on a business trip and took Secretary Gao with him. She started to have nothing to do again, and another half a month passed.
That evening, Song Jin was doing his homework after dinner when Song Ming and the other two came excitedly.
“My brother wrote me back!!!”
Song Zuo couldn't wait to speak as soon as he entered the door.
Song Jin took the letter and was very surprised. The handwriting in the letter was neat and it was obvious that the other party had a good handwriting.
The three of them waited quietly for Song Jin to read the letter.
Song Zuo's brother is called Xue Chenyang. According to Song Zuo, his family used to be a family of traditional Chinese medicine, but in this era, this is original sin.
Six years ago, his parents were sent down to the countryside. His grandfather used up all his family wealth, and with the help of some powerful people who had been treated, the grandfather and grandson stayed in the city. However, they had to move out of the big house at home. The street office arranged for them to sweep the streets, so they lived in a shabby house on the street where they kept their sweeping tools.
Grandpa Xue usually sweeps the streets. After Xue Chenyang helped him, he went around looking for food and opportunities. After running around a lot, he got to know a group of people. Most of these people were orphans, and some came from very poor families. In the eyes of the surrounding residents, they were just uneducated hooligans and little gangsters.
Xue Chenyang followed them, sometimes helping to run errands, move goods, and watch the black market, and could barely earn some food.
He and Song Zuo met here. They were the youngest there and were often arranged to keep watch and guard outside the black market together.
After a few visits, they became familiar with each other. Song Zuo also became more and more busy. After following Xue Chenyang, he often went to his house. His calligraphy was taught by the grandfather and grandson.
About a year later, they suddenly received news that Xue's parents had died in the cowshed due to illness and lack of timely medical treatment. Grandpa Xue fainted from the anger of seeing his children die.
Looking at his impoverished family, Xue Chenyang had no choice but to ask for help from the people his grandfather and parents had helped in the past, hoping that they could lend him some money to buy medicine for his grandfather.
Xue Chenyang was only fourteen years old at the time. Not knowing what to do, he chose to go to the door and kowtow for help.
Many families avoided him, but there was only one family, who was his father's former colleague and is now the director of the inpatient department of the municipal hospital. At that time, he was just an ordinary doctor. When Xue Chenyang came to his house for help, he gave him 20 yuan and a bowl of millet without saying a word, and comforted him to take good care of the elderly.
Xue Chenyang was grateful and didn't bother to say anything more. He quickly took the money and things and went back, thinking of leaving Xiaomi at home before buying medicine.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he got home, someone rushed in and accused him of stealing.
Several people came forward and quickly took out the twenty yuan in his hand and a pound of millet that had just been placed on the table.
He was first beaten and kicked by those people in the house. Grandpa Xue was so angry and blood-thirsty, coupled with witnessing his grandson being beaten, that he suffocated and died.
Xue Chenyang felt that there was no point in living, so he stopped resisting and was directly convicted of thief and sent to a farm in the northwest for five years.
He wanted to bury his grandfather and then leave, but he was taken away by someone.
From beginning to end, he never saw the family who lent him the money.
There were only two days between the time Xue Chenyang's grandfather fell ill and the time he borrowed money to be sent down to the countryside. Song Zuo happened not to go to the black market that day. The next day, he didn't see Xue Chenyang, so he went to his house in the evening.
As a result, we saw that the dilapidated house was smashed to pieces. People from the street were helping to bury Grandpa Xue. Although it was called a burial, some of them were cursing and using rough hands.
Song Zuo hurried forward to inquire and found out everything. He was only 15 years old and didn't know what to do.
He cautiously followed the people who collected the bodies to help bury Grandpa Xue. Later, he wrote two letters to Xue Chenyang, but received no reply, and gradually lost contact with him.
If it weren't for Qin Lili this time, he would have almost forgotten that he had this brother. He wrote the letter just in case, just in case he would reply.
Unexpectedly, he really replied this time.
