After returning from Liu Lu's house, the time left for Liu Qiao to return to the team was getting shorter and shorter. Chen Yun thought about it and decided to tell him about Zhang Meixiang and her buying a house. After all, they were husband and wife, and it was better not to keep such things a secret, otherwise it would be difficult to end it. If she had started it first, it would be natural for Liu Qiao to hide it from her. As a couple, it is better for them to be honest with each other.
"Honey, let me tell you something. My parents want to give me a small house so that I can collect rent from it. I can't refuse. Let's go take a look together tomorrow."
Liu Qiao was surprised to hear this and said, "That's good too."
Seeing that he had no expression, Chen Yun quickly said, "I'm counting on you to come back next year to find someone to renovate it. I don't trust anyone but your vision."
Liu Qiao was delighted when she said that. "Of course, I know a lot of people. I can help you find someone to do the renovation."
Chen Yun said happily, "You're so nice." She was afraid that he would have a bad feeling, and seeing that he was normal, she actively let him participate so that he wouldn't feel like it was all hers.
Chen Yun then called back to tell Zhang Meixiang about the incident. Seeing that her daughter had said everything, Zhang Meixiang stopped blaming her. After all, she wanted her daughter not to tell the man, as no one could predict what would happen in the future. She and Chen Sipeng could still take care of their daughter now, but when the factory was handed over to her son, it would be hard to say what would happen in the future.
They didn't expect their daughter to be so honest, so they could only sigh.
The next day, Chen Sipeng drove over to pick up his daughter and son-in-law to look at the house together, and Zirui was left to the care of his mother-in-law. Zhang Meixiang and Chen Sipeng both felt that their daughter would definitely not be able to compete with their son-in-law. In marriage, it is always the east wind that prevails over the west wind, or the west wind that prevails over the east wind. Of course, they hope that their daughter and son-in-law can get along well, but they definitely want their daughter to be in a dominant position.
Most of the women in Jiangcheng are very fierce, and there are very few like Chen Yun, who has a gentle temper, is fair-skinned and soft-hearted, and speaks in a soft voice. Zhang Meixiang is afraid that her daughter will suffer every day.
"Mom, is it over there in the daffodil garden?"
Zhang Meixiang nodded.
It's called a small suite, but it's actually quite big, especially the lower floor is big enough to open a shop, and the upper floor is almost 100 square meters. Liu Qiao felt the love of the Chen family for Chen Yun, he looked at Chen Yun and saw that she was watching carefully, but not with a smug expression, he suddenly felt that he was still afraid of Chen Yun leaving.
It is true that his previous partners all seemed to be in better condition than Chen Yun, but none of them were as calm and unfazed as Chen Yun. She did not show off to others because her family was rich, nor did she show her weakness in front of her brothers. She knew clearly the relationship between those people and Lin Jing, but she still went there bravely.
"This place has a good flow of people, but I'm not at home all year round. Otherwise, I could open a small shop here or something." Chen Yun said as she looked around.
Zhang Meixiang smiled and said, "Yes, there is no plan for renting it out. If someone does some bad business and damages the wall, it will be a loss. Since you two like it, we will go over and handle the formalities now."
The house purchase went smoothly. Seeing Chen Yun's name on the house, Chen Yun took it solemnly, and then she and Liu Qiao invited Zhang Meixiang and her husband to dinner outside.
"Mom, look at me, I'm so old and I still need you to worry about me. I really..."
Zhang Meixiang laughed and said, "Silly child, you are still my daughter no matter how old you are."
Liu Qiao saved Chen Yun's face: "Mom, Yunyun has suffered a lot following me. She has to follow the army so far away and be separated from you."
"Isn't this what she should do? Yunyun is a glorious military family member, and this is what she should do. People outside envy us, saying that our son-in-law is handsome, capable, and a soldier. Yunyun is so lucky to have a husband like you." Chen Sipeng said.
After getting the property certificate, Liu Qiao's friend Meng Yao invited them to dinner at his home. Liu Qiao said, "Don't be fooled by Meng Yao's appearance, but he cooks very well."
"Then I'll wait and see."
The two of them bought a box of drinks and went over. Chen Yun also thoughtfully brought a halved chicken and some fruit. In fact, their homes were very close, but Meng Yao had moved out, so they had to drive to his other home.
Meng Yao was very enthusiastic, but his wife Qiqi couldn't be said to be unenthusiastic, anyway, she only cared about herself. Meng Yao was alone in the kitchen serving dishes, braised carp, loach with tofu, steamed eel with hot and sour sauce, and other dishes that Chen Yun couldn't take her eyes off. He couldn't cook such dishes well.
"Okay, okay, come and eat. Qiqi, go to the refrigerator and get a few cans of beer."
Qiqi brought over a few cans of beer and placed one in front of Chen Yun. Chen Yun smiled and said, "I'm still breastfeeding so I can't drink. Just some water will do."
Meng Yao immediately asked, "Do you want me to go buy some drinks with you?"
Of course Chen Yun declined again.
After finally sitting down, Liu Qiao and Meng Yao started chatting. It was obvious that he was indeed Liu Qiao's childhood friend. He knew everything and took good care of Chen Yun.
"When Liu Qiao was little, he was the leader of the kids. There was no fight he couldn't win in our area. It was useless for us to have good grades. When he went to school, the girls only had eyes for him."
"Really? He is a soldier now. He doesn't fight anymore but he sticks to principles. His soldiers all respect him." Chen Yun looked at Liu Qiao with admiration.
Liu Qiao was almost embarrassed by Chen Yun's praise, "Yunyun, please stop talking."
The atmosphere was still good, even though Kiki got a little mad after the Liu Qiao couple left.
"You said your buddy is really something. He said he was your childhood friend, but when he heard you mention the investment, he said nothing and only talked about your childhood. Didn't they say his family is very rich?"
Meng Yao scolded, "What do you know? A true friend would never force others to do things that are difficult for them. Liu Qiao didn't have much money when he was in the army. His parents paid for his marriage. His wife's family is well-off, but why would he borrow money from his wife for me? Today we agreed to do it for him. If someone has extra money to help us, we accept it. If they don't have it, that's okay. If you have a purpose for everything you do, you really can't make friends."
Qiqi was not happy, but economic foundation determines status. Although she gave birth to a child, she still depended on Meng Yao and did not dare to say anything more.
On the way, Liu Qiao said, "Yunyun, don't think I'm stingy. Money is a good thing, but it's best not to use it to make too many deals. Besides, we shouldn't pretend to be rich. Our own money is still useful. I'm only a battalion commander now, and my salary is just that. My father is also penniless. If I lend a large sum of money to others at once, I won't be able to explain myself."
