On a sunny day, Qian Duoduo drove Lu Yuan out of the house. Before long, they returned home, and the trunk of the car was already packed full.
Qian Duoduo parked the car steadily in the yard. As soon as she got out, she saw Jin Jinxiu walking towards her with a worried expression. A question arose in Qian Duoduo's mind. She quickly went to meet her and asked curiously, "Mother, what's wrong? Why do you look so worried?"
Jin Jinxiu sighed heavily and slowly said, "Your Aunt Wang came to our house earlier, saying she wanted to buy your uncle's house. But how can I make that decision?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo smiled and comforted her mother, saying, "Mom, don't worry too much. Actually, Uncle's house is quite nice. It was renovated a few years ago. Although it's not like our two-story house, it's still considered one of the best houses in our village."
Jin Jinxiu nodded, indicating her agreement with her daughter's statement: "Yes, I naturally know that. It's just that I heard from your Aunt Wang that she wants to buy this house for her nephew to live in. But in my opinion, the price of your uncle's house is definitely not low."
Hearing this, Qian Duoduo frowned slightly. She understood that since the 1990s, with the gradual spread of the population across different regions, exchanges between villages had become increasingly frequent. Many villagers had moved away from their original villages to wealthier ones, and some had even moved directly to towns or county seats. As a result, houses like the old man's, with their good location and conditions, were bound to see their prices rise.
Speaking of Aunt Wang's nephews, they really can't compare to Li Dafa's nephews! Look at those two brothers, Xie Jian and Xie Jun—they're incredibly efficient and reliable. Now, they're working for Qian Xiang, and both have become department heads. Because of this, the Xie family's financial situation has skyrocketed, taking them to a whole new level!
However, due to their busy work schedules, the two Xie brothers spend most of their time in Harbin. Once, when Old Master Xie fell ill, these two dutiful sons immediately took him to Harbin to care for him. As for the Xie family's house in the countryside, Old Master Xie and his wife usually only return to stay there for a short time in the summer. In the freezing winter, the elderly couple chooses to return to Harbin to spend the winter. After all, life in the city is more convenient, especially the fact that they don't have to prepare firewood themselves, which makes the old couple extremely happy.
Let's take a look at Aunt Wang's nephew again. He's utterly useless! He's good for nothing, and he's never satisfied with anything. He can't lift a finger, he'll lie down if he can, and sit if he can't stand up. In short, no one can like him at all!
Living next to this person would be incredibly uncomfortable.
It's unclear who first spread the news, but within just a few days, numerous villagers had come to inquire about Qian Cai's house. After all, it would be a lie to say they weren't tempted by such a fine house being offered for sale. However, faced with the relentless inquiries, Qian Sheng finally grew impatient. He frowned and loudly replied, "I haven't heard my brother mention selling this house at all! If he really decided to sell, he would naturally prioritize selling it to someone from our village."
Meanwhile, Qian Duoduo called Qian Xiang and explained in detail the various matters concerning the house that had occurred in Beian Village. After listening, Qian Xiang said he would wait until he returned home that night to discuss the matter with his parents.
As night fell, Qian Cai finally called. On the other end of the line, he clearly informed Qian Sheng that the house in their hometown had been decided to be left to Qian Yin. Whether to keep the house or sell it was entirely up to Qian Sheng, the second son. After hanging up, Qian Sheng turned to Qian Duoduo with a puzzled look and asked, "Why did you suddenly decide to give the house to Qian Yin, brother?"
Qian Duoduo paused for a moment, then slowly explained, "Think about it, when Qian Xiang's sister-in-law took the college entrance exam, the whole family supported her. Moreover, Qian Xiang himself said that he would never fight or ask for anything from the family."
Qian Sheng and Jin Jinxiu exchanged a glance and slowly nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, that's true. Since the second brother got married, he's spent most of his time living with his in-laws, so the eldest brother hasn't had to worry about him much. Thinking about it carefully, this kind of distribution is quite reasonable in order to treat each brother fairly."
Hearing their conversation, Qian Duoduo nodded in agreement and added, "These days, Uncle and Auntie live with my eldest brother. Partly because my sister-in-law is busy with work and the children really need someone to look after them; and partly because of my second sister-in-law's thoughtful and calculating nature. My aunt's relationship with her is merely superficial; it's certainly not as deep as my sister-in-law's. As for Wang Rui, she's also very busy. Although her child is still young, she has never asked my aunt to help take care of him."
At this point, Qian Sheng couldn't help but sigh deeply, saying with great emotion, "Back then, when I looked at Wang Rui, I never imagined she would turn out like this!"
After Wang Rui and Qian Gui's child was born, He Ying went to take care of her during her postpartum period, but three months later, He Ying returned to Northeast China.
However, when Qian Duoduo was in Beijing, he not only took care of Lu Yuan who was in a coma, but also transferred Qian Gui and Wang Rui to Beijing. Qian Gui even took over Qian Duoduo's first project in Beijing, which was to be in charge of building the Tongzhouyuan residential community.
However, their child was still young and needed care, but Wang Rui did not ask He Ying to help take care of the child. Although she said very nice things, expressing that she couldn't bear to see the elderly He Ying go through all that trouble, He Ying couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable hearing these words.
It's worth noting that He Ying now lives in her eldest son's family home in Harbin, where she lives a comfortable and carefree life. Her eldest son's wife is very filial and takes great care of He Ying without ever complaining. Qian Yi'an is also grown up and takes good care of his grandparents.
At first, she thought that her third son's wife was looking down on her, but gradually she got over it. If the other woman didn't need her, then she wouldn't bother with her either. This way, it was much easier for her!
