Yun Dazheng spoke the phrase "not afraid of spending money" with great bravado. Yun Duo listened and couldn't help but laugh, nodding and saying, "Grandpa is right. Our house is either not repaired at all, or it's repaired properly. We're not afraid of spending money."
He paused for a moment, then added, "Besides asking Uncle Wu for help, Grandpa, I would also like to ask Brother Fusheng to go with Uncle Wu and help him out."
"Ask Fusheng to be your Uncle Wu's assistant?" Yun Dazheng asked with some doubt, "Why? Fusheng is a good boy, but he's also very filial. If you really ask him to help, he'll definitely come. But when he goes back, your aunt will definitely make things difficult for him."
"It's alright." Yun Duo shook her head and said, "When the time comes, we'll just say we asked Brother Fusheng for help and asked him to calculate the wages. Auntie definitely won't be able to say no."
"Duo'er, why...?" Yun Dazheng thought of many things in an instant, and his complicated thoughts were reflected on his face.
Yun Duo smiled and looked at Yun Dazheng, saying, "Grandpa, don't overthink it. I didn't mean anything by it. It's just that Brother Fusheng has never offended me, and I consider him my cousin. I was just thinking about it, and if our house is really built like Uncle Wu's house, it can be passed down for several generations without any problem."
“We won’t live in Lujia Village forever. Eventually, we’ll have to… When the time comes, we’ll leave, and the house will be empty.”
"For the past six months, even though Auntie always scolds Brother Fusheng, he has never stopped fetching water for our family. Even in the dead of winter when it snowed, he never missed a single day. Grandpa, Duo'er isn't a heartless person; she should always leave something for Brother Fusheng."
"This...this...you child, you child, you think so much...Grandpa..." Yun Dazheng's expression changed many times, feeling both relieved and ashamed.
His primary purpose in building the house was to ensure the safety of the clouds, that goes without saying. Actually, there's another reason.
No matter what he says he won't care about the eldest and second sons' families, it's impossible for him to really ignore them completely.
It's one thing for others, but Fusheng, that child, has always been a filial son. He still hopes that someone can leave him something.
But all the money in the house was actually earned by Yunduo. There was no reason for him to use the money earned by a young girl like Yunduo to subsidize his eldest grandson. So usually, at most, he would give Fusheng some cooked meat or something after he fetched water for him. He rarely invited people over for meals. Only when it was by chance would he invite them over for a meal.
For example, there was the time when Wang Xuemei wanted to take Yun Xiangwen back to her parents' home because Wang Shufen was too biased.
Originally, he hadn't considered leaving the house to his eldest grandson. Besides, he figured he'd wait until his daughter got married. He didn't know how long the two old folks would live.
But things are different now.
Now that Duo'er has biological parents, although he has left the child in the village, it's partly because he can't bear to part with the child, and partly because he is genuinely worried about the child's safety.
But he also knew in his heart that one day, the child would have to go back.
When the time comes, we'll leave the house to our eldest grandson, and Duo'er will definitely be happy to accept it.
This was a little secret he hadn't voiced, but now that Yun Duo had said it out loud, he naturally felt a little ashamed.
