Chapter 418 We Still Want to Be Neighbors
Wu Jiabao threw away the toothpick and rubbed his hair.
"So, tell me, if you and dad get old and need someone to take care of you, will you ask my sister to come back?"
Wu Shengli slammed the table and glared at his son, a rare sight.
"It's time now, isn't it the daughter's responsibility to come back and take care of her parents?
Besides, even if your mother and I don’t call anyone back, your sister should come back on her own initiative.”
After those big words were spoken, his legs began to tremble and he felt weak all over.
Diao Yulian's face didn't look good either, and her eyes were wandering.
"Jiabao, this is not something you should worry about.
Your sister is married and has no contact with her family at all.
There are only three small rooms in my house, so I can't afford much money.
Mingzhu has grown up and our house is no longer big enough for her.
Housing prices have been rising so fast in recent years that it’s hard for us to even afford a small three-bedroom apartment with this little money.”
Diao Yulian earnestly advised her son not to do anything stupid, glanced at Guan Nana who was sitting next to her, and began to pull his teammates.
"Nana, don't you think this is the case?"
Guan Nana was grinding her teeth while listening to the old couple's nonsense, not taking it seriously at all.
"What? Mom, you're asking me? Okay, I'll tell you straight away.
Although my elder sister-in-law doesn't come back often, she always sends money back on time every month.
I usually spend money on you, so when good things happen to your family, you should let others share in the credit.
Otherwise it would be unreasonable. It would be fine if you really don't pay a penny.
When you are old and need money, I will not let my elder sister-in-law get involved in such a "good thing".
And mom and dad, if you have something to say, just say it and don’t always bring Mingzhu into it.
If your Wu family can't afford to raise my daughter, I can just take her back to my father.
Mingzhu and I have the surname Guan, which sounds much better than Wu!"
Guan Nana took this opportunity to make things clear.
She just wanted to live a comfortable life. If the family was in chaos, she would just kick Wu Jiabao out and live alone with the kids.
The money she earns from running a women's clothing store in Wangfujing is more than enough to support her mother and daughter, so why does she have to take her elder sister-in-law's share?
If she really accepted it, her aunt would definitely be the first to teach her a lesson before the money even warmed her pocket.
She didn't want to be the old couple's accomplice.
She would never do anything immoral.
Wu Shengli looked at the two stubborn people with trembling hands, and stomped his feet in anger.
While clapping his hands, he said, “You, you, you… have you two lost your minds?
We have to give away the money we earn, but we are doing this for your own good!"
Seeing that his wife was on his side, Wu Jiabao became bolder.
He took a step forward, held his head high and said stubbornly: "We are doing this for your own good!"
Diao Yulian was repeatedly humiliated by the two men, and she felt choked up and couldn't let out a word, so she cried out loudly.
"Oh my God, this life is unbearable!"
Zhang Dazui, who had packed up and was ready to go out next door, heard Diao Yulian's howling as soon as he stepped out of the door and scratched his ears.
He shouted to the Xie family across the street: "Xiu Lan, let's go to the street office for a meeting!"
"Here I come."
Gao Xiulan straightened her clothes, combed her hair, and strode out of the main room.
For meetings like this, each family would send one person to listen and then convey the ideas from the meeting.
Xie Da Jiao stood at the door and waved: "Xiu Lan, come back early for lunch."
"I understand."
Lin Xiaotong and Xie Yi have already started packing their things in the room.
He wore a newspaper hat on his head, and from time to time he would dig out small items that he thought he had lost.
Sometimes tidying up can also bring back memories.
Xie Yi found a stack of ticket stubs from under the drawer and carefully wiped off the dust.
"Wife, look, we've gone to so many movies together."
Lin Xiaotong came over and said nostalgically, "There are so many old movies. I still remember this one..."
When Diao Yulian heard the noise, she wiped her face with a towel and hurriedly chased out.
"Wait for me, why are you walking so fast?"
Jin Qiaofeng raised her eyebrows, her eyes moved across Diao Yulian's slightly red eyes, and then quickly moved away.
"No, why are you crying on such a beautiful day?"
"No, I just... I feel bad when I think about moving."
Guan Lamei nodded: "I am also a little reluctant."
The small room in her house is kept tidy by Donggua, and it is her warm little home.
A few people who heard a slight noise in the backyard saw through it but didn't say anything.
Zhang Dazui, Gao Xiulan and Yu Afen walked in front and started chatting.
Gao Xiulan asked, "Ah Fen, does Xiao Min have to come back too for the room division?"
Yu Afen smiled and said, "Yes, Lao Qian just called Xiao Min and Xiao Yu. They still need to be there for this matter."
Zhang Dazui still spoke so clearly and concisely: "My old Zhou also called Zhixi and Zhiwen. Anyway, there are only two children in the family, so just ask for the money and split it equally.
No, it should be divided into three parts, and Lao Zhou and I will also have one part."
Gao Xiulan agreed after hearing this: "I think so too. The children all have jobs, so what's the point of dividing them all up?"
Zhang Dazui thought of the key point: "By the way, Xiulan, after you get the money, where are you going to buy a house? Take me with you too."
"Count me in, too."
Yu Afen still wanted to be together with the others, and their compound gossip trio would never separate.
Gao Xiulan's face was as bright as a sunflower: "I haven't thought about this matter yet. After the meeting, I will come back and see which real estate is good.
Xiaotong said she would drive us to the sales office to look at the house.
"become."
Zhang Dazui and Yu Afen agreed immediately.
Jin Qiaofeng rushed over from behind: "Xiu Lan, this is really not nice of you. Why don't you take me with you on this good thing?"
Guan Lamei pulled Yang Shujuan over and said, "Yes, count us in too."
Zhao Yunyun lowered her head and didn't say anything, wondering whether her family should buy a new house.
Diao Yulian came over and said, "Why don't we just buy a place? We can negotiate a discount if we buy it at a group purchase price."
How could she be left out of such a thing?
She and Gao Xiulan were married into the compound together. They had been quarreling for decades, and she was still a little uncomfortable with the separation when they got old.
"Then let's go buy a house as a group!"
Zhang Dazui was a little envious and began to fantasize: "That's a big order, I wish I could work there.
We've sold so many units, and the commissions are quite good."
Now, an ordinary salesperson working in the sales department has a monthly salary of 1,200 yuan. If he makes a lot of orders, it will be a lot including the commission.
After all, the average monthly salary of ordinary people is 3,000 yuan.
Jin Qiaofeng jokingly said, "Zhang Dazui, you have such a beautiful idea!"
"We're here, let's hear what Xiao Hu has to say."
Gao Xiulan glanced at the door and saw that many people had already arrived, gathered together and discussing things enthusiastically.
When the time came, Xiao Hu came over with the documents, followed by a few people, probably the developers.
"Dear uncles, aunts, and grandparents, we have gathered here today to discuss the demolition of our hutong.
Let me first tell you about the specific demolition plan..."
Diao Yulian said with a smile: "Does that person behind look familiar?"
Gao Xiulan looked up and was also a little confused.
Zhang Dazui also recognized him and whispered, "Isn't that the guy from Hong Kong who had a fight with Chen Lan's mother and sister-in-law in front of KFC?"
