The next day, Jiang Lingling came over and Su Yan gave them the clothes and supplements she bought for them.
Jiang Lingling looked at the pile of bags on the table and didn't know what to say. Her daughter had helped the family a lot over the years, and even if her daughter didn't contribute to the family's life, they could still get by.
But with the help of their daughter, their family lives a relatively well-off life. Her husband's monthly pension is decent after retirement, but it is not as much as she earns from helping her daughter sell braised dishes. In the past two years, she has had several thousand yuan in pocket money.
They don't even have to buy clothes and shoes, as their daughter buys them several sets every year.
The daughter is really thoughtful. Even though she has lived to such an old age, her two sons have never bought them any clothes or shoes except some food.
"Yan Yan, did your trip to Hong Kong City go smoothly this time?"
"It went very smoothly."
"I heard that there are tall buildings all over there and the roads are full of cars."
"Hong Kong is indeed very prosperous. Rich people drive their own cars when they travel. Their buses are two-story, and there are tall buildings everywhere."
“I hope we’ll have a chance to go and see it in the future.”
"Mom, if you want to go and have a look, I'll take you there if I have the chance."
The prerequisite is that she has to earn enough money to buy a house in Gangcheng first, so that her parents don’t have to stay in a hotel. Then she can buy a private car in Gangcheng and take the driver’s license test there.
She doesn't want to buy a small house, she wants to buy a big villa, so she has to work harder.
"Let's talk about this later. This Sunday, your second sister-in-law has her birthday. Your second brother made some money and said he'd treat you guys to a meal at home."
"Isn't my second sister-in-law having a small birthday? In previous years, my second brother never mentioned treating everyone to a meal on her birthday."
"They had a fight last week due to some misunderstanding. Your second sister-in-law said that your second brother has never been considerate of others. He didn't even know when her birthday was. So your second brother decided to set up two tables and invite relatives from both sides to dinner."
"What did my second brother do to make my second sister-in-law misunderstand me?"
"I don't know where a woman's perfume got on my clothes. If I didn't know your second brother was a coward, I would have suspected that he was cheating on me.
This man, you can't leave them too much money. I'm really worried that your second brother will go out to do business with others one day. Now he has hired people to look after the clothing store and leather shoe store he opened, and he goes out to socialize every day."
She couldn't guarantee whether her second brother would turn bad. It was said that men would turn bad when they had money. In fact, it had nothing to do with being rich. They would still turn bad even if they had no money. How many men in this world could control their third leg?
"Mom, I have time to have a good chat with my second brother. He originally made money to provide a good life for his wife and children. If he makes money and then goes looking for women and spends the money on other women, then there is really no need for him to do business anymore."
“Your second brother probably didn’t mess around, he swore he was just drinking and socializing with friends, if he messed around he’d be hit by a car if he went out.
After he swore that, your second sister-in-law didn't bother with him. However, she plans to quit her job as a nurse and run the store herself, saying that she is worried that the person who is running the store may not be honest.
Su Yan understood what her second sister-in-law was thinking, but her second sister-in-law only earned forty or fifty yuan a month and had to work night shifts. She could indeed quit her job and run the store herself. This way, she would have one less person to pay, and she would have more time to look after her man.
"Then I'll go over there on Sunday at noon, and Mom can come over early to pick up some food."
"No need, let your second brother buy those himself."
On Sunday, Su Yan took the children to Su's house to celebrate the birthday of her second sister-in-law Ye Qinqin. She gave her a set of skin care products when she returned home. On this day, which was her birthday, Su Yan gave her a bottle of perfume as a gift.
After dinner, Ye Qinqin pulled her aside to complain, "Little sister, do you think men will not like women anymore when they get older?"
"Second sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"
"You don't know, your second brother comes home drunk every day and doesn't touch me once a week. If I hit him, he'll say I'm as ruthless as a wolf in my thirties and as fierce as a tiger in my forties, and that's all I have on my mind."
As Ye Qinqin was talking, she started to cry out of grievance. Su Yan didn't know how to persuade her. Her second brother was indeed a bit stubborn, with low emotional intelligence. He couldn't say nice things or coax people, which made it easy for him to offend women.
"When a man drinks too much, his mind becomes muddled. Don't pay attention to what he says."
"I suspected he was messing around outside and wasn't able to cope with me. It was over in less than ten minutes."
Ye Qinqin looked at Su Yan shyly after she finished speaking. Just as Su Yan was about to reply, Ye Qinqin said, "How's your Lu Ting? He won't stop cooking in less than ten minutes, will he?"
Ten minutes of rest? Does it get harder to do as he gets older? I don't know if it's just my heightened sensitivity with age, but it usually takes an hour, half an hour, or even a half to get it done.
Fortunately, it didn't happen often, only once or twice a night at most, otherwise she would have been in trouble.
"Second sister-in-law, second brother has been drinking too much in the past two years. You can ask him to go to the hospital for a checkup. If he is weak, he can take some supplements."
"I also suspect he's physically weak. He's been sweating every night in the middle of winter and talking in his sleep."
"Then you should ask him to see a doctor to see if there's anything wrong with his body. Second sister-in-law, you have to trust my brother. He's obsessed with money now, so he doesn't have time for those messy things."
Ye Qinqin burst into laughter, "Yes, he wants to get rich right now. He says the rent for the shop he rents is too high every month and it's not worth it. He wants to make more money and buy the shop. When he has enough money, he can buy a house for himself."
The Su family did not split up. Not only did they get a house in the military hospital, they also got a courtyard with two entrances. There was also a large villa in the countryside that Su Yan helped build, which was more than enough for them to live in.
Su Yan also understood that the reason why her second brother wanted to buy a house was definitely for the next generation. Even if their family were to split up, his father would definitely give the staff housing compound to his second brother and the courtyard house to his eldest brother.
Don’t ask why it’s unfair, because parents in this era like to live with their eldest son when they divide the family property, unless they particularly like their youngest son, they will leave everything to him.
"Don't worry about buying a house. If you have money, you can buy more shops."
"I think so too. The shop can be rented out, but this house is completely shabby and I have to renovate it myself after buying it."
Su Yan thought that there would be a newly built house for sale in six or seven years, and she could buy any floor she wanted.
"Sister-in-law, if you want to invest, you can buy an older courtyard house. It doesn't matter. The price of the house may increase several times. If you want to live there yourself, you can buy a new house on a high floor in a few years."
"I went to see it, and the small courtyard house was in a dilapidated state. It was also very expensive. We don't have the money to buy one. If we had that much money, we would have used it to buy two more shops."
Su Yan stopped trying to persuade him. She knew her second brother didn't have much money. If he really used it to buy a house, he would probably have no money left for his business.
She herself is short of money, so it is impossible for her to take out money to buy a house for each of them. She hasn't even bought a house for her own children yet.
