Zheng Wen also noticed that something was wrong with her parents and couldn't help but ask them.
"Dad, Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"
"Nothing, nothing, why would I be unhappy?"
Lu Jinlong said quickly.
Shen Yu also said: "yes, we finally got together as a family, how could mom not be happy?"
"But--"
Zheng Wen was about to say something, but Tang Xiaobao nudged her and she stopped talking.
After a while, the car got off the highway, but did not enter the city, but went to the suburbs.
Yanjing is the capital of Huaxia, but there is a gap between the rich and the poor in any city in Huaxia, and this city is no exception.
Everything in front of me was out of tune with the city. There were fewer and fewer high-rise buildings and the road was getting worse and worse. Finally, the car stopped in a residential area.
This place is already outside the Sixth Ring Road. Although it is not in the suburbs, it is not prosperous either.
Tang Xiaobao took the initiative to pay the fare. Lu Jinlong and his wife looked at each other and their faces blushed.
"Let's go home."
Shen Yu hugged Zheng Wen's arm, looking conflicted.
"Mom, are you not happy that I'm back?"
Zheng Wen frowned.
Walking in the community, she didn't have any thoughts about the dilapidated appearance of the community. She was only thinking about the changes in her parents' expressions.
Shen Yu was startled, tightened her daughter's arm, and said, "How could it be, you are my own daughter. We have owed you for the past twenty years. To be honest, your father and I have already talked about it. If you stay in the Zheng family, although we are reluctant to leave, we can understand. After all, our family's conditions in Yanjing are not very good, and we are afraid that you will be wronged, so now we are so entangled, hey!"
"Mom, what are you talking about? A son doesn't despise his mother's ugliness, and a dog doesn't despise his family's poverty. Am I even worse than a dog?"
Zheng Wen said seriously, "No matter how bad the conditions are, this is still my home. Besides, the future is not unchangeable. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. I will make sure you live a good life."
"Hey, now that you say that, Dad feels really ashamed."
Lu Jinlong sighed: "As a man, I failed to support this family. I am really useless."
Tang Xiaobao said on the side: "Uncle,
What you said is wrong. I've heard Zheng Wen say that if you hadn't given up looking for her all these years, your family wouldn't be so poor. And if it weren't for your persistence, your family wouldn't be reunited. So this isn't your fault. Really, don't think too much about it. I don't think Zheng Wen would despise her family's poverty either."
"Well, Mom and Dad, you're overthinking it."
Zheng Wen also said repeatedly.
"Hey, I hope you can accept it later."
Lu Jinlong shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Soon, we arrived in front of a residential building.
Tang Xiaobao and Zheng Wen both noticed that the houses in this community were not only old, like they were built in the 1980s, but the most important thing was that the houses were not big.
The buildings here have the same layout and are all six stories high, like the houses allocated to employees by state-owned enterprises in the past.
In fact, it is true.
When they entered Lu Jinlong's house, although Tang Xiaobao and Zheng Wen were mentally prepared, they were still shocked.
It turned out to be a one-bedroom house.
There are almost no electrical appliances in the house except an old TV and a refrigerator. Oh, if you count the electric fan, that’s another matter.
The living room is not big, probably only about 30 square meters, but in one corner, it is separated by a curtain, and there is a small room there, through which you can vaguely see the bed and furniture. The living room is even smaller, only about ten square meters.
"Dad, Mom, is this where you usually live?"
Zheng Wen frowned.
For her, she had never been to such a bad place.
The Zheng family is one of the four largest families in Jiangnan City. They are wealthy and powerful. She has lived a life of luxury since she was a child and is used to it. But when she first came here, she was really not used to it.
The most realistic question she is thinking about now is how to sleep?
So, she subconsciously asked: "Don't I have a younger brother? How are you going to sleep? This house is too small."
Tang Xiaobao coughed a few times to remind her not to talk nonsense.
Fortunately, Zheng Wen reacted quickly. Seeing the shameful expressions on Lu Jinlong and his wife's faces, she quickly explained: "Mom and Dad, don't think too much. I don't mean to dislike you. Otherwise, I wouldn't go home with you. Don't think that I can't live a poor life. I just feel sorry for you.
"After all these years, living in such poor conditions, you haven't given up looking for me. I'm sorry, I'm a burden to you."
As she spoke, her eyes turned red again.
Shen Yu quickly pulled her to sit on the shabby sofa, and said with red eyes: "Daughter, you are so sensible. Yes, this place is very simple, but fortunately there is no rent. This is the house allocated by your aunt in the factory. It is said that it will be demolished, but it has been said for a few years and no construction has started. So we have moved here for almost ten years, and we have never been charged rent. Now it's good. I finally found you. It will get better slowly in the future. You and your brother have grown up. In the future, our family of four will work hard and we will definitely be able to buy a house, even in the suburbs!"
Speaking of which, in Yanjing, houses in the suburbs are not cheap either.
Every inch of land is worth a lot of money.
Obviously, this is just Shen Yu's good wish.
Lu Jinlong immediately swore, "Don't worry, daughter. After I resigned from the factory, I learned a unique skill. I can barbecue. If I hadn't always wanted to go out and find you over the years, our barbecue stall would be doing well. I would set up the stall every night to make money and find a job during the day. Even if I die of exhaustion, I would be happy. I will always support this family. From now on, don't worry about family matters."
Then he pointed to the only bedroom here and said, "That's where your brother usually lives. I asked him to move out and sleep on the sofa at night. You will live in the bedroom from now on."
Now that my daughter is back, she must live at home.
Of course, Mr. and Mrs. Lu Jinlong wanted to leave the best for her.
After so many years, I feel so indebted.
Zheng Wen sighed, feeling touched but also extremely distressed.
"Mom and Dad, don't think too much. I will take care of this house. I still have several million in my account. I will go look for a house tomorrow. It's not a big deal to always live in my aunt's house."
"What, you have millions, where did this money come from?"
Lu Jinlong and his wife were shocked.
Millions of dollars is an astronomical figure for them. They can’t even imagine it. If they rely on a barbecue stall, how long will it take them to make that much money?
Zheng Wen said a little embarrassedly: "Oh, it's my pocket money, which I didn't spend all of it."
Suddenly, Lu Jinlong and his wife looked at each other with shock and bitterness on their faces.
