Chapter 573: Eat the melon of the whole family
Ding!
There are melons nearby!
Ye Rou's eyes lit up.
She leaned on the car window and looked out, and saw a group of people blocked there from a distance, arguing loudly.
"What are you arguing about?" Ye Rou rolled down the car window and tilted her head to listen carefully.
She rested her face on her arms, her cheeks squeezed into a ball, and listened very attentively.
Someone's head was about to stick out of the car.
Jiang Chen pulled the man back and said to Wang Honghong, "Stop the car."
Wang Honghong subconsciously stepped on the brakes and only realized what was happening after stopping. She wondered, "Brother, they haven't arrived yet?"
"You drive back first." Jiang Chen opened the car door and helped Ye Rou get out of the car.
Wang Honghong didn't understand what was going on, so she drove away first. When she passed by the group of people who were arguing, she suddenly realized something.
Wherever there is excitement, there is my sister-in-law.
Ye Rou pulled Jiang Chen excitedly into the crowd.
Jiang Chen lowered his eyes, his gaze always fixed on Ye Rou. He stretched out his arms to protect her and block away those who tried to squeeze her.
With Jiang Chen by her side, Ye Rou just needs to enjoy the show with peace of mind.
Ye Rou squeezed in the crowd, listened to what was said here and there, and finally understood the whole story.
The joy of eating melon lies in sharing it with others.
She raised her head and stared at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen: “…”
He lowered his head skillfully and tilted his ear: "Go ahead, I'm listening."
The man was too tall, so Ye Rou had to stand on tiptoe to get close to his ear.
Afraid that she would lose her balance and fall, the man put his arm around her waist.
Ye Rou covered her mouth with her hands. "This house was occupied by a large family. The old lady was confused in her old age and was tricked by her youngest son into selling the house. The buyer came to take it back, and the whole family had to live on the streets before they knew about this."
Jiang Chen has no interest in eating melons.
But in order to give my wife a perfect experience of eating melons.
He acted as a supporting role and asked, "Why does the youngest son want to sell the house?"
Ye Rou slowly widened her eyes.
She was stunned by the question.
"Let me listen again."
Ye Rou and Jiang Chen arrived too late and stood at the outermost edge of the crowd, unable to see what was going on inside at all.
Her feet were raised on tiptoe like a ballet dancer, tense and tense, but she still couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.
Ye Rou put her foot down and looked at Jiang Chen.
The fox eyes blinked pitifully, and the thick, curled eyelashes were like fluttering black butterflies, gently flapping their wings towards Jiang Chen's heart.
“…”
Jiang Chen scratched her nose and asked, "Not hungry anymore?"
Ye Rou chuckled: "I can hold on for a while longer."
The man bent down and picked her up.
Ye Rou was suddenly lifted up, and her vision immediately became much clearer.
She hugged the man's neck with both hands and whispered, "Jiang Chen, you are the best."
The sweet voice made Jiang Chen raise his eyebrows.
Then he moved his cheek forward and quickly touched Jiang Chen's cheek.
The delicate skin is like the finest silk, cool and smooth when it touches the cheek.
The man's thick Adam's apple rolled up and down.
A heartless little thing, completely unaware of what bomb it had dropped, was concentrating on eating the melon while taking advantage of the neck.
In the innermost circle of the crowd, a noisy family stood on both sides with the old lady at the center.
The old lady looked to be in her sixties, with gray hair and a hunched back, but her eyes were still sharp.
He doesn't look like someone who is selling a house without thinking.
The man standing on the left of the old lady was the youngest, looking to be in his early twenties, with small eyes and a thin mouth.
Next to him stood a young girl who looked to be the same age as him, with braids and a sallow face.
Standing on the old lady's right are her other two sons, their wives and children.
There were two tall and strong men standing next to them, wearing black Zhongshan suits and with serious expressions.
Ye Rou inexplicably felt that these two people looked familiar.
But she couldn't think of where she had seen it.
At this time, a woman walked out from the old lady's right side. She seemed to be the eldest daughter-in-law.
She asked, "Mom, how much did you sell this house for?"
The houses in this area are all western courtyard houses, some big and some small.
Their yard is not small, and recently many people have come to buy the house. The asking price has increased from the initial 2,000 yuan to the current 6,000 yuan.
The family had never seen so much money before, and knowing that the house was valuable, they refused to sell it because they thought the house price would continue to rise in the future.
But what they never expected was that the old lady sold the house without telling their two families!
They only found out about this when the buyer came to take possession of the house today.
At first, of course they didn't believe it, but when they saw the guilty expressions of the third child and their mother, they understood everything.
The old lady was suddenly questioned by her daughter-in-law, and a hint of displeasure appeared on her old face.
After her son and daughter-in-law repeatedly questioned her, the old lady reluctantly made a gesture.
When the onlookers saw this, their eyes widened.
"How much did it sell for? Eight thousand yuan!"
"Why is this house so valuable?"
"That's normal. Their house is big and worth the price. My little shabby house is already being offered at three thousand yuan."
The onlookers who originally thought the old lady was confused now think she is smart.
This is eight thousand yuan, eight thousand yuan in this era!
The two sons and daughter-in-law were also shocked.
But soon they looked at each other and calmed down.
The eldest son stood up and said solemnly, "Mom, return the money. This house cannot be sold."
"Brother, this is eight thousand yuan!" The younger son refused to do it. When he heard that he had to return the money, his face was full of pain.
The second son's eyes turned cold, and he pointed the hoe at his brother's head: "You have no right to speak here!"
"Mom, my brother scolded me again." The youngest son skillfully pulled his old mother's arm to complain.
“Eh—”
The young man, in his twenties, pouted and acted coquettishly, and the onlookers felt their eyes were hurt.
Ye Rou also exclaimed.
Jiang Chen raised the corners of his mouth and smiled helplessly.
His wife was really immersed in eating melon.
Others thought it was offensive, but the old lady thought it was because her youngest son was getting close to her. She immediately stood in front of her youngest son and scolded him harshly: "Why are you being so mean to your brother?"
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Don't you just want the money from selling the house?"
The old lady snorted coldly and said, "Of these eight thousand yuan, two thousand will be given to the eldest son's family, two thousand to the second son's family, and the remaining thousand will be given to the mistress."
After hearing this, the three sons reacted differently.
The youngest son seemed to have known this long ago and raised his eyebrows proudly.
The eldest son and the second son blushed immediately.
Red with anger.
They asked in unison: "Why give him Xiqian!"
The old lady said: "He is young, unemployed and unmarried, and needs money to marry a wife."
The second daughter-in-law said unhappily, "He doesn't need so much money by himself."
The onlookers were talking about how to divide the 8,000 yuan.
"If you ask me, the elder family should get a bigger share. The old lady will still be counting on them to support her in the future."
"The eldest and second sons' salaries go to the old lady, while the youngest son doesn't work, so he spends all his money on his two older brothers' salaries. This is a frequent source of family quarrels."
"The youngest son is a loser, but the old lady loves him the most."
Ye Rou hugged Jiang Chen's neck and asked in confusion, "Why didn't the old lady give two thousand to each family, but kept two thousand for herself?"
The old lady has money, and her three sons will compete to support her, so her future life will be guaranteed.
Jiang Chen said calmly, "Because she's partial."
Ye Rou understood.
Everyone has their own selfish desires. The old lady favors her youngest son and naturally can't bear to see him suffer.
I have to let my other two sons suffer.
But it was obvious that the other two sons were fed up with the old lady's favoritism.
The eldest and the second oldest looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding.
The eldest brother came out and said in a deep voice, "Mom, return the money and take back the house."
After hearing what the eldest brother said, the old lady said nothing.
The youngest son jumped out and said unhappily, "Big brother and second brother, you are so selfish. You are forcing Mom like this for such a small amount of money!"
"Shut up!" The second child said, unable to bear it any longer, "You are the most selfish person in this family!"
The second brother has always been good-tempered. This was the first time the youngest son saw him angry. He was frightened and didn't say a word.
The eldest brother continued to persuade: "Mom, please listen to me and return the 8,000 yuan. We will just pretend that what happened today never happened."
The two sons and daughters-in-law took turns to persuade her. The old lady seemed to be annoyed and suddenly said something.
"I've already given the third brother his money."
