When Li Qingmei got home, she drank two large jars of water, pulled Qiu Jianshe over and started talking to him, repeating to him almost everything that Qiu Yuling had said to her.
The silence at this moment was Qiu Jianshe's silent resistance.
It took his family many years to complete the yard, and only last year did they finish it. How could the mother and daughter buy it just like that?
"Hurry up, don't waste time. Go to the captain's house and ask him to come over and notarize it for us. This is the sugar ticket. Give it to Brother Jianjun. Hurry up and get it done today."
The grown man was so chubby that Qiu's mother pushed and shoved him out.
After a while, Qiu Jianjun came with Qiu Jianshe on the team's bicycles.
"Brother, I'm sorry to trouble you. Let's just walk away?"
On the way, Li Qingmei talked about it again, using Qiu Yuling's forward-looking brainwashing technique, which made Qiu Jianjun's blood boil.
Yes, if you have children when you are broke, there will always be one or two who will become successful. When you have money, invest in property, not just houses and land. There has never been a time when these two things were worthless.
Nowadays, land belongs to the state, but houses are still owned by individuals. Sowing seeds on barren land is like sowing seeds, and you never know which seedling will sprout.
The three of them pedaled two bicycles and arrived at the county in about an hour. "Actually, with a bicycle, this distance is not that far. If we pedal faster, we'll be there in less than two hours."
Qiu Jianjun felt that since the team had a bicycle, he was no longer afraid to go out.
"Dad, Mom, Uncle, you guys are so fast." Qiu Yuling only sat in someone's house for a short while before she came out to the alley for a walk. According to her calculations, it would take a while to get there, but she didn't expect everyone to be so fast.
The mother and daughter exchanged a subtle look.
It’s all thanks to my mother!
It’s all thanks to me, your mother!
"Let's go. Lead the way and take your father and uncle over to have a look first."
"This alley is so clean. Otherwise, why would everyone want to be a city dweller? Not only is it good to eat public food, but you also don't have to breathe dirt. I'd be happy to do it if I had the conditions. Yuling, study hard and never go back to that dirt place. Just be a city dweller."
As they were talking, they arrived at the place.
Qiu Jianjun was about to praise the spaciousness of the yard, but then he remembered that the owner was still there, so he swallowed the compliment in order not to give the other person too much prestige.
"Uncle, aunt, this is the sales contract I wrote earlier at Xiaonan's house. Take a look at it. Is there anything else you want to add?"
When it came to the formalities, both parties brought a witness each, as well as the middleman Zhou Xiaonan's parents, making a total of eight adults present.
Everyone passed it around, and fearing that some people might not be able to read, Zhou Xiaonan and Qiu Yuling each read it aloud.
The description above is very specific, including the location, area, number of rooms, etc., even the trees in the yard, the window glass, the stone lions at the door, and the copper handles on the gate are all listed one by one.
When we first read, those who could recognize words could only read ten lines at a glance. But now, after listening to the two kids read in great detail, everyone present opened their mouths wide.
In the end, not only did the buyer and seller sign and put their fingerprints on the contract, but also witnesses from both sides and Zhou Xiaonan's mother, the third party who acted as a bridge, left their seals on both contracts.
At this point, all the procedures have been completed, but who is Qiu Yuling? She has been baptized by detailed rules and regulations for evidence collection, so she has to go to the Housing Authority or the Street Office to file a case.
The group was led around and around in the hot sun by a little girl who was barely twelve years old, and the matter was finally settled.
Qiu Jianjun sighed, "I still have to study. Our Yuling knows all this, but I am still completely in the dark at my age."
He was determined to send all the idle and able-bodied children in his family to school, and those who could not go to school would be sent to literacy classes.
Read good books and benefit from it!
Qiu Jianshe went back first on the bicycle brought by Qiu Jianjun, and Li Qingmei stayed behind. She still had to clean up and see what else to fill in. The other one also had to go and handle the procedures for day school.
"Here, keep your house deed safe." After looking at it for a while and almost resting, Li Qingmei handed the papers back to Qiu Yuling and asked her to keep them.
"You don't want to keep it? I was thinking of confiscating it." Qiu Yuling said half-jokingly, half-seriously.
"Why use the money? You earned it yourself. It's your own ability. You should keep it. Brothers and sisters should help you in times of emergency but not in poverty. It's good that you have this heart towards your family.
But our family isn't so poor that we can't even afford to eat, so just take care of yourself. After all, you're the youngest, so why should you ask your sisters to take care of your brothers? "
"Okay, I'm the best at collecting things. I guarantee that even the best thief won't be able to find it even if he digs three feet deep in the ground." As he said that, he took the things, put them aside, and rolled up his sleeves to help.
"Mom, how about asking my grandma to come over? With someone here at home, you can rest assured, and I can feel at ease too."
Li Qingmei thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go to your uncle's house and talk to him tomorrow when I get home."
"Well, just explain it clearly. If we invite grandma over, then they won't have to worry about food, clothing, housing, transportation, eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, and sleeping. It doesn't make sense for them to help us and let others take care of my grandma in her old age. Besides, I can afford to support my grandma."
"Yuling, mother tells you, focus more on studying. You see, the current profits are small profits, but the future profits can last a lifetime, do you understand?" Although she knew her daughter was not that unreasonable, she still couldn't help but say and persuade her.
"Mom, I know everything. You need to have more confidence and blind trust in me, understand? That way you will definitely become the most blessed old lady.
From now on, I will never let you live under the control of my daughter-in-law. Let them all fight over you and cling to you. You can live with whoever you want. If you don’t love her anymore, you can live a leisurely old age with my father in your own house. Her daughter’s cake was so big and round that Li Qingmei was full.
"Okay, mom doesn't point to her son, she will point to you from now on, okay?" No matter how good her daughter-in-law is, she is still someone else's child, and no matter how bad her daughter is, she is still her own child. She trusts her blindly, and she believes her with her eyes closed. Ask around in the world, whose half-grown child can be such a big boss in the family?
The two of them worked for a long time and then went to the school dormitory to move the bedding rolls back.
The bed was double, the mattress single. Luckily, it wasn't cold. The mattress was laid horizontally, and they both lay on it, their upper bodies resting on it, their legs draped over the bare bed, the quilt draped horizontally over their stomachs. They just made do with it and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Li Qingmei rode her bicycle and went straight back to her mother's home in Shangquan Village. Qiu Yuling asked Zhou Xiaonan to give her a note for leave and did not go to school.
While Mother Qiu was away, she went straight to the system mall and bought ready-made old-fashioned bedding, coarse sheets, pillows, and pillowcases, and gathered them all up in one go. She had to make up a lie anyway, so it was better to do it all at once.
In order to have a solid basis for her argument, she went out again and again, found a deserted place, carried out the large sack and walked back. She walked back and forth many times, carrying back and forth everything she needed.
