Lu Jiaxin glanced at Lu Jiazong and said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, I came back this time to deal with the house."
Mrs. Lu was a smart person. Seeing her expression, she immediately pushed Lu Jiazong and drove him out before asking, "Jiaxin, is there anything that is difficult for you? If you don't have enough money, I have some here."
Lu Jiaxin was very touched. The second sister-in-law was straightforward and clear about gratitude and resentment: "No, the house has been bought, but there is something I need to tell you to avoid misunderstanding."
Mrs. Lu was also very surprised and asked a series of questions: "Have you bought the house? When did you buy it? Where did you buy it? How big is it? How come you didn't tell us about such a big thing?"
Lu Jiaxin explained the reason: "The reason I didn't tell you when I bought it was because I was afraid that my eldest brother and sister-in-law would think the house was too big and they would not want it. Second sister-in-law, I bought a two-entry house for my eldest brother and his family. It has a total of 16 rooms, as well as a kitchen, a woodshed, and a bathroom."
Mrs. Lu was stunned. This house was too big. After a while, she asked, "Jia Xin, how much does such a big house cost?"
Lu Jiaxin didn't hesitate and directly stated the amount: "It cost more than 50,000 yuan."
Mrs. Lu accepted it well. After all, Lu Jiaxin had donated two million Hong Kong dollars before, so fifty thousand Chinese dollars was not bad. But she still had to say, "You are too ambitious. Your eldest brother and sister-in-law only have their salaries, and you spent so much money to buy a house for them. How can your eldest brother and sister-in-law pay you back in the future?"
After all, he is just a child, so he is not meticulous in doing things, but his heart is good.
Lu Jiaxin said directly, "Second sister-in-law, I started a business. This business needs someone to protect it, otherwise it won't last long. I said I would give my eldest brother two shares, but he didn't want to and said he would help me solve it if there was any problem. Last year, my business was targeted and almost went bankrupt. It was my eldest brother who asked his former comrades to help settle it. Otherwise, all my initial investment would have gone down the drain."
Mrs. Lu understood: "So this house was bought as a gift to Big Brother to thank him for his help?"
Lu Jiaxin nodded and said, "Although we are siblings, there is an old saying that brothers should settle accounts clearly. Big brother owes others such a big favor for me, and he must pay it back in the future."
"Neither he nor my sister-in-law wants the 20% stake. Don't they have housing difficulties? I just wanted to buy them a house, which would solve their practical difficulties."
"My eldest brother and his wife refused to buy it. It was only after I persuaded them that they agreed to borrow money from me to buy a house with four or five rooms. There are six people in their family, including my uncle and aunt. Four or five rooms are not enough, so I just bought a big one."
Lu Jiaxin, the second sister-in-law of Lu, did the right thing. She couldn't help so much without any appreciation. One or two times is fine, but if you bother everyone every time, everyone will get tired of it. It's just that the intention is good, but the idea is too big.
It is impossible to return the house after buying it. Second Sister-in-law Lu said enthusiastically: "Is it Sister-in-law who doesn't want to accept it? I will talk to her. If you feel embarrassed, I will help you with your business in the future."
Seeing that she had no grudges at all, Lu Jiaxin said, "Yes, my sister-in-law didn't want to accept it. She said she couldn't take advantage of me. She was also worried that you and Third Brother would feel uncomfortable and think that I was partial to one person over the other."
"Sister-in-law, I made a lot of money from this business last year. If you and brother want to buy a house, I can lend it to you and you can pay it back slowly in the future."
She didn't say she was giving it to him because she knew Mrs. Lu wouldn't accept it even if she told her.
Mrs. Lu refused immediately. She waved her hand and said, "No, no, my noodle shop is quite profitable. I should be able to buy a house next year."
My daughter's clothing store is also very profitable. If they don't have enough money to buy a house, they can just borrow from her. Although Jiaxin can make money, it's not easy to live outside, so I feel embarrassed to borrow from her.
"Sister-in-law, I am doing legitimate business, so I am not afraid of being found out. But my eldest brother works for the government, so the fewer people who know about this, the better."
Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. Your second brother is a broad-minded person. He won't think too much if he knows. Your concerns are correct. If you work for the government, you have to be cautious about many things. If someone reports you, you won't be able to explain yourself."
It is Qingming Festival at the foot of the imperial city, but there are also scoundrels on the street. If it weren't for Lu Jiaguang and Lu Jiajie, their stalls wouldn't last long, and there wouldn't be a shop now. The life now is something she couldn't even imagine before, and she is very content.
With her words, Lu Jiaxin was relieved. As for Third Sister Lu, she had only met twice and she was not in the city, so even if she was upset, what could she do? Just bear with it. If you don't try your luck, there will be no pie in the sky.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Lu Jiaxin asked Wang Lin to drive them back. As for the bicycles they rode on the way here, they left them in the hotel first.
Lu Jiaxin hired a taxi for four days.
The next day, she went to visit the grave. On the way to the suburbs, she said to Gu Wenfeng, "I want to ask my aunt to come to Sijiu City to live for a while in April. We have to buy a car by then, otherwise it will be too inconvenient. Go and ask what procedures are required to buy a car."
When the taxi driver heard this, he couldn't help but look back at her. In her words, buying a car was as easy as buying cabbage. I don't know whose girl this is!
Gu Wenfeng disagreed with buying a car and said, "Ms. Gu won't be staying in Sijiu City for long. If you buy a car, you can't take it with you, so it will just sit there and collect dust. You can hire a car, just like we did when we first arrived in Gangcheng. If you want to go out, just tell the driver in advance."
Lu Jiaxin thinks it is more convenient to buy a car, but there is no rush about it.
Gu Wenfeng added, "Boss, the Gu residence is full of the elderly, the weak, women and children. It would be dangerous if someone with ill intentions broke in. I think we should hire two security guards."
Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "We will definitely have to hire a few security guards here, but not in Hong Kong. I mentioned this before, but my aunt and Aunt Mei both refused. They said there was nothing valuable in the house, and everyone in Hong Kong knew about my aunt's situation, so no one would break in."
Gu Wenfeng nodded and said nothing more.
After leaving the city, the driver said in surprise: "The snow on this road has been shoveled. It seems we are lucky."
Lu Jiaxin glanced at Gu Wenfeng, smiled and said nothing.
The wind was stronger in the suburbs, and the temperature was lower than in the city. After visiting the grave, Lu Jiaxin's hands and feet were cold, and her nose was red from the cold. Fortunately, this was the last time, and after the grave was moved, she would not have to come here to be blown by the cold wind.
Because Lu Ersao had repeatedly told Lu Jiaxin to go back for lunch after visiting the grave yesterday, she went directly to Guangming Road after entering the city.
