Chapter 448: One More Property
Downstairs, the two walked silently from the stairwell all the way to the first floor.
"Let's go. I know there is a side door in your community. We can go out from there." Su Qiuyan pulled Xu Manman and walked to the back.
"Second aunt, how did you know there is a side door in our community?" Xu Manman couldn't help but feel curious as she saw Su Qiuyan seemed to be familiar with the place.
Su Qiuyan glanced at Xu Manman and replied, "Several of my friends live here, and I often visit them. I think I'm more familiar with your neighborhood than you are."
Xu Manman nodded after hearing this, "Oh, so that's how it is!"
After a while, the two of them went around to the other side of the community. Su Qiuyan looked at Xu Manman, who was still wearing slippers, and asked, "What should we do now? Where are you going?"
"I, can't go to the store. I'll call Jiabao first!" Xu Manman said as she took out her cell phone. Not knowing what Yang Jiabao said on the other end of the phone, Xu Manman first looked up at Su Qiuyan and then hung up the phone.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something dirty on my face?" Su Qiuyan asked, touching her face.
Xu Manman shook her head and asked in a low voice, "Second Aunt, can I go to your house for a while? Jiabao will pick me up later."
"Why don't you go to your mother-in-law's house? My house is not as big as your mother-in-law's."
"Jiabao said that people from the family planning office might also go to my mother-in-law's house, so..."
"Okay, okay, let's go." Su Qiuyan took just two steps before slapping her head and said in annoyance, "Oh, my banana. I've finished talking to you and I've just thrown my banana at your door."
Xu Manman said immediately after hearing this: "Second Aunt, it's okay, I'll buy you another one."
Su Qiuyan rolled her eyes when she heard this. "I just need these bananas from you. Okay, it's thrown away, let's go!"
It was already a week later when Jiang Xinbai learned about this from her husband. She tried to hold it in for a while, but couldn't help asking, "Jinsheng, your second sister-in-law helped Manman this time, so didn't you buy something to thank her?"
Yang Jinsheng was stunned. "We are all family. There is no need to be so formal, right?"
Jiang Xinbai on the other end of the phone rolled his eyes, thinking that Su Qiuyan must have started scolding him.
"Yang Jinsheng, you've lived to such an old age in vain. No matter what, you should at least bring something to express your gratitude. You said that you would do nothing when I'm not around." Jiang Xinbai wanted to go back to Shenzhen immediately to give her husband a good scolding.
Yang Jinsheng was still very unconvinced, "It was my second brother who said that we are a family and there is no need to send anything. I said that before."
"If my second brother says he doesn't need it, then he doesn't need it?"
"What should I do? I'll send the stuff over tomorrow?"
"Of course. Go buy some milk, fruit, cigarettes and alcohol tomorrow and give it to my second sister-in-law. She likes money anyway, so giving her money is the right thing to do."
The next day, Yang Jinsheng bought some milk and fruit and came to Su Qiuyan's house.
"Oh, what a rare guest. Third brother, how come you have time to come to my house today?" Su Qiuyan said with a pout as she looked at the things Yang Jinsheng carried.
"Hehe, look at what my second sister-in-law said. Can't I come to your house if I don't have time? Look, this is for my second brother. He loves this." Yang Jinsheng pointed to the things on the ground.
Su Qiuyan took a look and said unhappily, "You are just thinking about your second brother!"
"How can that be possible, second sister-in-law? I don't know what to buy. Here, I've packed a red envelope for you. Buy whatever you like." Yang Jinsheng said as he handed over a red envelope.
Su Qiuyan immediately smiled, "Oh, look, what red envelopes are you giving me? Really."
"That's right, third brother, what are you trying to do by giving red envelopes when you buy things? Didn't I tell you that we are all family? Your second sister-in-law just happened to meet you, how can I just ignore it?" Yang Jinwei pushed the red envelope back again.
Su Qiuyan watched as her red envelope ran away again, her lips curled up, and she secretly glared at her husband.
Yang Jinsheng directly passed over his second brother Yang Jinwei and stuffed the red envelope into Su Qiuyan's hand, saying with a smile: "Second brother, this is what Xiaobai asked to give to the second sister-in-law, don't worry about it."
"That's right, it's for me, don't say anything." This time Su Qiuyan was not polite anymore. She was afraid that the red envelope she had obtained would run away again, so she quickly put it in her pocket.
Yang Jinwei looked at his wife and said unhappily, "Look at you, you are just greedy for money. You just accepted the money given to you by the third brother. You are such a fool."
"I'm being true to myself. I'm happy." Su Qiuyan rolled her eyes at her husband, then looked at Yang Jinsheng and asked, "How is Manman now?"
"She went back to her parents' home. Everyone said that the management was not strict enough, but look, there were still people reporting it." Yang Jinsheng knew of several families who had more children than allowed. How come they were fine?
"They are just jealous! It must have been reported by someone in the market, do you believe it?" Su Qiuyan said with certainty.
Yang Jinsheng nodded. "Hey, Jiabao also said that it was someone with no conscience in the market who reported it. Now the Family Planning Office doesn't care much as long as no one reports it."
Su Qiuyan glanced at Yang Jinsheng and asked curiously, "Manman, you already have two children, why are you still thinking about having a third one?" She thought to herself, giving birth is like going through the gates of hell for a woman, but Xu Manman has gone through it again and again. It's really interesting.
Yang Jinsheng shook his head. "How should I know? This was an accidental pregnancy. Jiabao and his family thought they would keep the baby. After all, the family can afford to raise it."
Hearing this, Su Qiuyan curled her lips and said, "Yes, your family is rich, so you are not afraid of having more children."
After everyone left, Su Qiuyan seemed to suddenly think of something. She looked at her husband mysteriously and said, "Jinwei, let me tell you, I know why Xu Manman wanted to have a third child."
"Why?" Yang Jinwei was really curious.
"Just grab the family property!" Su Qiuyan said and looked at her husband with a smug look on her face.
"Huh? What do you mean? The third brother's family only has two sons, Jiabao and Jiadong. Everything is divided between them. Why are you fighting over the family property? You are kidding me!"
"You are funny, you just don't understand. Let me ask you, if there is one more child, does the third child have to pay more money?"
According to Su Qiuyan's idea, Jiabao's family has three children, so they should be given three houses. Jiadong has two children, so that means two houses, which means a difference of one house. So Xu Manman is still smart!
Yang Jinwei rolled his eyes after hearing this, "You only know that the third brother and his family gave according to the number of children?"
"Although not all of them, at least the family with more children will still earn more, even if it means they get more New Year's money every year." Su Qiuyan knew that the New Year's money Jiang Xinbai gave to the children every year included small gold bars.
"You, please stop worrying about other people's affairs..."
Su Qiuyan was talking excitedly here, while Xu Manman and her mother Chen Hongyu were also talking about this matter over there.
"I hope your baby is a boy again. If nothing else, this way I can get a bigger share of the family fortune in the future."
