Chapter 182: Zhang's mother's insight, the fields in her hometown
Zhang's mother calmly replied: "I know, we are going home!"
"Don't you want to go to the ward and take a look?"
"Why are you going? Are you going to piss her off to death or to be pissed off to death by her? Humph! I'm not a psychopath like her who likes to take advantage of others' misfortunes. I was just saying some angry words in front of your dad, and you took it seriously!" Zhang's mother looked at Zhang Wanwan as if she was a fool, then strode to the front with pride, leaving Zhang Wanwan behind.
Zhang Wanwan was stunned. When did her mother become so powerful? Was she going to heaven?
When the two returned home, they found out that Zhang's father and Zhang Baiyan had gone to the stall. There was no one in the house. Thinking that there was someone there, Zhang's mother simply didn't go over. Instead, she went downstairs to buy some vegetables and planned to cook a good meal for Zhang Wanwan.
Zhang Wanwan thought that her mother would feel bad about the 200,000 yuan, but she didn't expect that she never mentioned the money again after leaving the hospital, and didn't seem to be affected by this matter.
Seeing Zhang's mother like this, Zhang Wanwan was completely relieved. Putting aside all her worries, she opened Leng Ziyue's door when she had nothing to do, cleaned the room a little, played the guqin for a while before leaving. At the same time, she sent Leng Ziyue a few photos of the guqin and attached a few words of encouragement.
In the evening, when Zhang's father and Zhang Baiyan came back from closing the stall, Zhang's mother and Zhang Wanwan were sitting on the sofa watching TV with pillows in their thick cotton pajamas.
When Zhang's father saw it, he was immediately happy, "It's rare to see you mother and daughter so free, why don't you go and rest?"
"Waiting for you!" Zhang's mother replied as a matter of course: "There is still some stew in the kitchen, warming it up, you can have some."
Zhang's father was very supportive and asked about Zhang's mother's situation in the hospital while drinking soup.
Mother Zhang glanced at Zhang Wanwan and said thoughtfully, "We went to see Huang Guilian's attending physician, got a general understanding of her condition, and reimbursed her for 200,000 yuan in medical expenses. The doctor said that the success rate of the operation is very high, and that she should be able to recover after the operation through chemotherapy. With good care and regular checkups, there will be no major problems. So we did not go into the ward to avoid irritating the patient!"
Zhang's mother emphasized the word "patient". Zhang's father smiled innocently, "It's enough that you are willing to pay for her medical expenses. If you don't want to see her, then don't see her. She's not in good health to begin with. If we go, people will think we're going to see a joke!"
Zhang's mother shook her head and pointed at Zhang Wanwan and said, "The money was not given by me, but by your daughter. She is very rich now and doesn't even feel sorry for it."
Father Zhang was stunned for a moment, "Girl?"
"Dad, it's not easy for you and mom to set up the stall. We work in wind and rain, and it takes us two or three months to earn back the 200,000 yuan. I have some money now, so just consider it as my filial piety to you. It's not a big deal." Zhang Wanwan said casually.
Zhang's father fell into deep thought, "But I can't let you pay for it. How about this? I'll give you a few acres of land in my hometown."
Zhang Wanwan's eyes lit up when she heard this, while Zhang's mother was a little confused, "Old Zhang, which acres of land are you referring to?"
Father Zhang took a sip of the soup and said in a deep voice, "Those fields belonged to the eldest brother's family. The child's grandfather had planned it well. In the future, the two sons would each get half of the fields. The fields in the old house are not valuable, but they are great. One divided into two is not a small amount. No one expected that the eldest brother would fall out with dad because of marriage. Before he died, dad gave me all the properties that belonged to the eldest brother, and repeatedly told me to leave those things to us and not to give a single cent to the eldest brother's family.
In the past, my eldest brother lived well, so they didn't care about these little things. Now that something happened, they are too embarrassed to mention it. I have thought about it. The land should be worth two hundred thousand yuan in total. I will give it to the girl. Boss, do you have any objection?"
Zhang Baiyan was distracted, and when he heard this, he shook his head frantically, "Dad, I have no objection even if you give all the farmland in our hometown to my younger sister. She happens to be studying agriculture, so maybe she can make use of the farmland. If it falls into my hands, it will just be left idle and overgrown with weeds."
Father Zhang nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, but Dad also needs to be fair. Your uncle's share will be given to your sister, and your brother's share will be divided equally between you and your sister."
Zhang Wanwan asked excitedly, "Dad, how much land do you mean?"
Zhang's mother smiled and said, "The scattered fields should add up to about 30 mu, and there is also a small hill. The residential land may be about 300 to 400 square meters."
"So many!" Zhang Wanwan's mouth opened wide, and Zhang's mother looked down on her. "You are ignorant! These things may sound like a lot, but they are worthless in the countryside. They are not as valuable as our house! In the past, your grandfather and great-grandfather were good at looting and took people to occupy a lot of things. Because they had a bad reputation, the village chief didn't dare to say anything. Besides, there was a lot of land in our village and no one made trouble. When your grandfather was alive, they didn't dare to mention the matter of reclaiming the land. Later, when your uncle was doing well in the city, they dared not say anything even more. After a long time, it became a foregone conclusion.
We have been away for so many years, and those fields have long been abandoned. The weeds have probably grown as tall as half a person, so it would not be easy for you to use them.
In reality, only the homestead is more valuable. It just so happens that Pu City is developing vigorously right now. Who knows if our place will also be developed? So we had planned to build a house in our hometown. Anyway, we have a lot of spare money at home now, so we will build the house first. If it is demolished, we can get a lot of compensation! "
Zhang Wanwan nodded in agreement. "It's not expensive to build a villa in the countryside. Why don't I build one on all the residential land? I can build two nice ones for myself, and build a simple three-story rough house for the rest. I can just do some simple decoration and rent it out to others as a factory or keep it for my own use in the future. Who knows, I might even need a warehouse when I develop agriculture in the future!"
Qingpu is close to the sea, and many people engaged in aquaculture there need warehouses for processing. Zhang Wanwan is not worried that the factory she built will be idle.
Zhang's father was deeply moved by what Zhang Wanwan said. More importantly, now people in the village will no longer look down on their family, and will no longer gossip about them. They will be able to hold their heads high wherever they go in the future.
"Okay! Let's do it! Just build a beautiful villa on the girl's homestead, and turn the rest into factories. As for your brother, he probably won't come back in the future, so don't consider him for now. If he wants to build a house in his hometown in the future, we can demolish the old house and rebuild it."
Zhang Baiyan was listening at the side and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't care about things in his hometown. Just as Zhang's father said, he would never go back there in the future. Building a house would be a waste. Not to mention Qingpu, he might not come back to Pu City several times a year. Instead of worrying about things here, he might as well think about his career plan. If he wants to settle down in Beijing, he will definitely have to buy a house in Beijing. There is really a lot of money there. The money he has now can't even afford a small toilet in Beijing.
