"Xiao Shen has already told me about your situation. Let's not rush. Let me pour you some tea first, and then we can sit down and talk slowly!"
Aunt Wu was a kind old lady. She led everyone into the house, brought a chair for each person, and then invited everyone to drink tea.
"Mother, we're back!"
Just as Lin Xue and the others had barely finished chatting with Aunt Wu, a middle-aged man's voice came from the doorway.
"Hey, didn't I tell you we'd go over by ourselves once we'd finished tidying up the house? Why are you all back?"
Aunt Wu apologized to Lin Xue and the others, then went out to greet her son and daughter-in-law.
"Mother, don't we know you well? If we hadn't come this way, who knows how long you two would have kept putting it off!"
Team Leader Wu looked at his mother's dissatisfied face. She had been urging them for so long, and the two of them always said it would be soon, but they still hadn't gone.
So, after discussing it with his younger brother, both families came to invite the old man to the county.
"Mom, we have guests at home!"
It wasn't until Captain Wu entered the house that he saw Lin Xue and her group.
"These folks are here to look at our house. I was thinking that since your dad and I have moved to the county, we should just rent out our house!"
Grandma Wu brought out stools for her son and daughter-in-law before she could introduce them to each other.
"Both of you work at a machine factory, aren't you planning to buy this house?"
Captain Wu looked at Lin Xue and her husband, while Xiao Shen was automatically ignored.
When Captain Wu looked at Lin Xue and her companion, he noticed that although they came from the countryside, they had a neat and capable air about them, which caught his eye.
"Of course we want to buy it, we just haven't had a chance to discuss it with Aunt Wu yet!"
Lin Xue immediately became interested upon hearing what Captain Wu said.
I had wanted to buy this house from the beginning, but I was always worried that the elderly couple in the Wu family would be reluctant to sell it.
Especially after seeing the actual condition of the house, she became even more eager to own it.
The courtyard is very large, with four main rooms in the main house, two side rooms, and a kitchen and storage room opposite.
Opposite the main house is the gate. The courtyard is spacious, and the two elderly people have even cultivated a small vegetable garden in the yard.
Fresh green vegetables are growing in the garden now, and the cucumber vines are almost withered, but there are still a few yellowing cucumbers stubbornly hanging on the vines.
If we bring Grandma Wang and her family here in the future, the children's accommodation problem will be solved, and it will be convenient for Grandma Wang to grow some melons or beans if she wants to!
Lin Xue was increasingly satisfied with the house!
"Hey, second brother, we can't sell this house! If we sell it, we might never be able to come back!"
When Grandma Wu heard that the house was going to be sold, she immediately slapped her thigh and jumped up.
How can this be allowed? The house is their lifeline; how can they sell it?
"What I want is for you two not to come back. Otherwise, you'll always be thinking about having a house back in your hometown, how can you live peacefully with us!"
As the captain of the security team, he understood his elderly parents' thoughts very well.
If the house were still there, the old couple might stay for a while and then secretly run back.
If they were to harden their hearts and sell this house, the elderly couple would have nowhere to go and would have to stay with them.
"You can't say that to me. As long as you can convince your father, I have no objection!"
Mrs. Wu was helpless against her second son's domineering nature and could only push the blame onto Mr. Wu.
"By the way, I've been back for so long, why haven't I seen Dad yet?"
Speaking of this, Captain Wu suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Old Man Wu come out since he entered the room.
"The Sun family in front of us had a grandson, and your father went to the baby's one-month celebration!"
"I guess it'll be a while before they get back!"
When this was mentioned, Grandma Wu slapped her thigh in dissatisfaction.
"Tell me, none of you are any easy to deal with!"
"Look at other people's grandchildren when they are born, they hold a full-month celebration and stuff, and then look at our family?"
"This money is all going out, there's never a chance to recoup the investment!"
Grandma Wu's sons all live in other places, so even if she holds a full-month celebration for her child, she won't be able to invite anyone from here.
So they sent this gift out every year, but never received it back.
Old Mrs. Wu was deeply troubled by this!
"I sent you two to the county a long time ago. If you weren't here, what would those trivial, unrelated things have to do with you? That way, we could save money!"
"The money's already been given out, and neither of you has gotten anything in return. I don't know what you two are after!"
Wu Laosan is a man of few words. Having served as a factory director in the county for so many years, he has a keen eye for problems.
"What can I do? It's not that your father doesn't want to go!"
What could Old Mrs. Wu say?
While the old man is away, we should just push all the problems onto him.
"Aunt Wu, Second Brother Wu, Third Brother Wu, since you're all busy at home, we'll head back now!"
"We'll come back after work tonight. We really want to buy this house, but if you don't want to sell, we're willing to rent it to you!"
"It's getting late, and we have to go to work this afternoon, so we'll head back now!"
"You should also think it over carefully! If you want to sell the house, as long as the price isn't outrageous, we're all willing to negotiate!"
