Chapter 188: Relatives are shocked and ask Chen Yongshou and his wife for help
The depressed mood was swept away.
The car arrived at Li Yongfu's house, and Li Meili's family also arrived. The brother and sister were discussing what time to call Zhang's mother to pick them up at the station, but they didn't expect that the family of four had already arrived at the door.
Such a luxurious car was parked in front of Li Yongfu's house, attracting many villagers to come and watch the fun. The naughty children even wanted to climb onto the car to play, but were scolded by their parents. They said that this kind of car looked cheap, and they couldn't afford to pay for it if it was bumped or scratched. But when did Li Yongfu have such a rich relative?
Everyone gathered not far away and peeked, and when Zhang Wanwan's family of four got out of the car, they realized that they had become the focus of attention.
"Mom, what's going on?" Zhang Wanwan was a little confused.
Zhang's mother probably knew what was going on. She glanced at her car and said radiantly, "You bought a flashy car. Let's go in quickly, or someone will come over and ask you questions."
As she spoke, Zhang Wanwan was pulled to Li Yongfu's house by her mother, "Brother, sister-in-law, we are here!"
Li Meili and Lu Cui rushed out and exclaimed, "We were planning to pick you up in half an hour! How come you're here so soon?"
"Bai Yan drove us here, which is of course much faster than taking the bus." Zhang's mother said with a smile in a casual look.
The people in the room went out to watch the fun out of curiosity, and when they came back their expressions had changed.
Lu Cui said with a click of the tongue: "Sister-in-law, your car is so expensive! I've seen that car logo on TV, and I heard that most people can't afford it!"
Zhao Xiaojun nodded and said, "Aunt, this car is an Audi, and it's of this model. It should cost hundreds of thousands."
When Lu Cui heard this, she covered her heart and dared not make a sound. Li Meili beside her was shocked, "How many hundreds of thousands? Isn't that the car driven by the big boss?"
"Mom, there's nothing wrong with you saying that." Zhao Xiaojun laughed.
The children were all very happy, but the adults were not.
Li Meili pulled Zhang's mother into the house and asked, "Little sister! Has your family made a fortune in business? Are you willing to buy such an expensive car? My dear mother! It's worth as much as a small house in our countryside."
"Yes, yes, sister-in-law, where did you get your fortune? It's only been a year, and you're driving such an expensive car in just one year?" Lu Cui was full of disbelief, thinking that people do business step by step, and how could someone jump from having no car to driving a luxury car all of a sudden?
Zhang's mother was speechless because of their constant chatter. After a long while, she smiled bitterly and said, "The car was bought by Wanwan. We don't have the ability or the courage to buy such a luxury car."
"Wanwan!" Not only Li Meili and Lu Cui were shocked, but everyone else looked at Zhang Wanwan in disbelief.
Zhang's mother looked very proud of her daughter. "Yes! That girl started to make a fuss when she entered university. She even opened a shop outside the school. I heard that she cultivated some valuable flowers and trees and made a lot of money. She came back and bought a car without saying anything. We only found out about it afterwards. Since she bought it, she can't just leave it unused, right?"
Everyone felt as if they were listening to a foreign language, dizzy and staring at Zhang Wanwan in shock.
Li Meili sighed, "Oh my goodness! We worked so hard for most of our lives but couldn't even build a house, but this kid has already bought a luxury car after only six months of college. Wow, wow, wow, wow. It's incredible!"
Lu Cui nodded continuously and agreed, "Before, I asked my children to learn more from these two brothers and sisters, but now it seems that I am making things difficult for them!"
Li Qingqing said quickly: "Is that right? I said that girl is not an ordinary person. You always say that I have no ambition. Look at those who have ambition. Who has the ability of my cousin?"
"Alright, alright, I just scolded you a few times, and you're getting excited!" Lu Cui scolded and patted Li Qingqing.
Not long after everyone sat down, Li Yongshou and others came over.
As soon as Chen Yuelan entered the door, she asked, "Sister-in-law, is that luxury car outside your home?"
Seeing Li Yongshou and his wife looking confused and uncertain, everyone suddenly felt relieved.
Li Meili replied, "That's right! Wanwan is so capable, she bought it."
Li Yongshou and his wife looked as if they had seen a ghost. They looked at each other and didn't know what to say.
Mother Zhang said quickly, "Second brother and second sister-in-law, please come and sit down. I have something to discuss with you."
"Just tell me what you want to say. There's still room for discussion!" Chen Yuelan laughed.
Mother Zhang glanced at Father Zhang and said thoughtfully, "It's like this. We plan to build a house in our hometown after the Spring Festival. Since we are in the city and can't watch over it here, we thought of asking my second brother and second sister-in-law to build a house for us and keep an eye on the workers at the same time."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was shocked again.
"No, no, why do you want to come back to build a house for no reason?" Li Meili asked puzzledly. In her opinion, life in the city is not comparable to their place. How many of those who are able to settle down in the city will come back?
"Yeah! Isn't it nice to live in the city?" Lu Cui didn't quite understand.
Zhang's mother was helpless and explained, "It's like this. Bai Yan is going to stay in Beijing to develop his career and probably won't come back here. But Wan Wan wants to come back. She studied agriculture and came back here to start her own business. There are a lot of fields in her hometown, so she can do whatever she wants. We might as well build a house in her hometown and let Wan Wan live in it in the future."
Everyone felt relieved when they heard this.
Chen Yuelan was not vague when it came to serious matters, and said seriously: "So what kind of house do you want to build? How many floors? What kind of structure?"
Zhang's mother really didn't think so much. After hearing this, she looked at Zhang Wanwan and said, "Girl, do you have any ideas?"
Zhang Wanwan nodded quickly. "I want to build a four-story house and surround it with a yard to plant some flowers and plants. The house needs to have a frame structure. I have my own design, but I haven't drawn it yet."
Chen Yuelan heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. "It's good to have an idea. When the time comes, tell your second uncle clearly what you want to do. He will make it beautiful for you. The most worrying thing is that you have no idea and suddenly ask to change this or that halfway through the construction. This is really a headache for us."
Zhang Wanwan assured: "Second aunt, don't worry about me. Everything has been decided in advance. You just need to follow the drawings."
Because of the Zhang family's house building, several adults were discussing this matter all day long.
In the evening, Chen Jie came over to have dinner together.
This time, Li Meili was not as cold and stern towards him as she was during last year's Chinese New Year. She not only took the initiative to invite Chen Jie to sit down, but also told him to drink less. It seemed that she really accepted Chen Jie as her future son-in-law.
