Chapter 355: Comparison brings harm



Although Lu An was not happy, it was difficult to stop Lu Hongjun since he was his elder. Besides, if he didn't allow her to come to his house now, she would still come after he moved in, and it would not be good to block her outside the door and let the neighbors see her.

Tang Sufen entered Lu Jiaguang's house and was stunned. Not only was the yard larger, but there were also more rooms than hers. She grabbed Lu Hongjun's arm and asked anxiously, "Old Lu, what's going on?"

She thought Lu Jiaguang's house was the same as the one over there, but she didn't expect it to be so much bigger.

Seeing her expression, Lu An was very proud. He wanted to come and see the house after he knew it was bought, and Wang Xiaojie couldn't resist so she told him the address.

Yesterday afternoon, he brought his brother and sister to see the house. When they first stepped into the yard, the three brothers and sisters were very happy, but when they found that there were two yards and they were almost the same size, he was shocked.

He returned home with trepidation and asked Wang Xiaojie how much the house cost. With their family conditions, how could they afford such a good and big house? He was relieved when he knew that the house was given by Lu Jiaxin.

Lu Hongjun explained in a low voice: "Jiaguang has four children, and my eldest brother and sister-in-law will also come here to live in their old age, so Jiaxin helped pick a bigger house."

Lu An was very perceptive. Seeing that he was avoiding the main point, he deliberately interrupted: "Third Uncle, our house has two entrances, and the yard at the back is about the same size as here! I counted with A Zhang and Zhen Zhen yesterday, and there are twelve rooms in total. All the rooms are spacious and bright. There are still many empty rooms when Grandpa and Grandma come! But Second Uncle and Third Uncle will live in my house during the New Year, so that's enough."

Tang Sufen's voice changed: "Is there another yard in the back?"

"Yes, didn't Third Grandpa tell you?"

Tang Sufen walked along the corridor to the back, and when she saw that the second courtyard also had six rooms, her mood hit rock bottom. If the house was this big, even if Jianshe and Jianjun got married and had children, they would have room to live there. Then she could live with her children for the rest of her life without having to separate. The more she thought about it, the worse she felt.

Lu An was afraid that she would cause trouble, so he gave the old master a few instructions and followed her.

Seeing her dazed look, Lu Hongjun called out worriedly, "Sufen, Sufen..."

Tang Sufen came back to her senses and asked, "You said that Jiaguang asked Jiaxin to buy this house? With the little salary of Jiaguang and his wife, how could they afford such a big house?"

She was smiling when she came over just now, but now her face is full of depression. How could the clever Lu An guess the reason? He said loudly: "My parents' salary can't afford this house, but my aunt is rich! My aunt loves us. Seeing that we brothers and sisters are squeezed in such a small room, we don't even have a place to do homework. She felt sorry for us, so she bought this house for us."

Tang Sufen guessed that the house was bought by Lu Jiaxin, and now Lu Ping confirmed her idea: "Old Lu, you are her father, why is the house you bought for you not as big as the one you bought for Lu Jiaguang?"

As he spoke later, his words began to question.

Lu An said bluntly: "My mother said that in this house for Third Grandpa, the master bedroom is for him, the second bedroom is for my aunt, and the other two rooms are for the nanny and guests."

In order to stimulate Tang Sufen, he deliberately said, "Grandma Tang, if you are envious, go back and ask your son and daughter to buy you a big house."

Tang Sufen turned away angrily, and Lu Hongjun hurriedly chased after her.

Seeing him like this, Lu An felt even more upset for Lu Jiaxin. His aunt bought a house for his third grandfather regardless of past grudges, but he still only cared about that woman and her family. He was really old and confused.

On the way back, Tang Sufen asked, "Old Lu, can we exchange houses? There are four rooms, and our family can't live in them."

He and Tang Sufen shared a room, and Huang Jianjun and his two siblings each had a room. It was just right!

How could Tang Sufen not know that changing rooms was impossible? She had said that on purpose just now: "Jianjun is going to get married, and it's not convenient for him to live with us. Lao Lu, I have asked someone to introduce Jianjun to someone. After he gets married, we will move to Chaoyang and let him and his wife live in the staff building!"

Lu Hongjun initially disagreed, but Tang Sufen gave in after crying until her eyes were red and swollen: "They can stay, but only for a period of time. When the housing reform policy comes through and the house is in Jiaxin's name, they will have to move out."

This time Tang Sufen agreed very straightforwardly. Housing reform would take at least two or three years to implement, and she didn't believe that she couldn't make Lu Hongjun change his mind in two or three years. As for the agreement, it would be a piece of waste paper as long as Old Lu returned.

Lu An was no fool. He called Lu Jiaguang as soon as he got home and told him about this: "Dad, that woman is not an easy person to deal with. I'm worried that she will take our house."

This house has not been occupied yet, so we must not let it be stolen.

Lu Jiaguang laughed and said, "Don't worry, this house is in the name of the four of you brothers and sisters, no one can take it away. Also, their house was bought by your aunt for your third grandfather to live in, and the house is in her own name."

Lu An opened his mouth wide enough to fit an egg in it: "Dad, what did you say? The house is in our name?"

"Yes, that's what your aunt meant. Next time you see your aunt, be sure to thank her."

"Then we have to kowtow to my aunt to show our sincerity."

After Wang Xiaojie came back and learned about this, she said with some worry: "The house in Chaoyang is under Jiaxin's name, so she can't get it, but the house in the family compound is hard to say."

Lu Jiaguang also thought about this problem. He said, "The house is ready, and we just need some furniture. When the weather warms up next year, after we move, I will take a leave and go to my hometown to pick up my parents. With them around, Uncle San will not dare to regret it."

Wang Xiaojie nodded and said, "It's good that the parents are here. If Jiajie goes to Yangcheng next year, ask them to help pick up the child."

Lu Jiaguang smiled and said, "If my parents knew about this, they would definitely come. Even the third son and his wife might come along."

Wang Xiaojie said calmly, "It's a good thing that they come with us. This way, the three sons are around and parents don't have to worry about them. But now that we are a big family, it's not appropriate for us to live together. If they want to come, they have to rent a house outside."

Given the temperament of the third brother and his wife, they would definitely not pay for food if they lived in their house. It was fine for you to come as a guest for ten days or half a month, but it was definitely not possible for you to stay permanently. Their salary was not very high, and she had saved a little money every year by being thrifty over the years. Supporting parents was a responsibility and obligation, and she had no objection, but it was not the same for her brother-in-law, who must not be spoiled.

Lu Jiaguang smiled and said, "They definitely can't live in our house forever. If the third brother and his wife come, let them go out and find work. The second brother and his wife have only been here for more than a year and they bought a shop. They are not as hardworking as the second brother and his wife, but they should have no problem supporting themselves."

Wang Xiaojie laughed in her heart, thinking that the third brother and his wife liked to cheat and play tricks, and they wouldn’t be able to stay in business for long anywhere.
