“Even if he’s divorced, he’s still your grandson, a member of the Guan family.” Guan Yi pretended to flip through the calendar. “May Day, Labor Day, a good day.”
Old Man Guan... "It's already March, is it still possible to buy a house and renovate it in time?"
Guan Yi: "Xiaoyu has a house, right? Since we're going to be live-in sons-in-law anyway, let's stay at Xiaoyu's place for now."
Old Man Guan: "You old fool, you've already thought of your escape route, you just want to get married as soon as possible, don't you?"
Guan Yi nodded, "Yes, I want to hold my grandson as soon as possible. Every day I hold him is one less day I have, so every day I hold him sooner is one more day."
Old Guan... what he said makes a lot of sense.
"Okay, let's buy a house near their workplaces then, so it'll be convenient for commuting."
“Let’s buy in this neighborhood. The two kids will have children after they get married. It’ll be easier to take care of them if they live near us, and it will be easier to raise them in the future,” said Sister Liu, who hadn’t spoken until now.
"Sister-in-law, you're helping take care of the kids too?" Guan Yi joked.
“I’m the great-grandmother, of course I have to help take care of her,” Sister Liu said, straightening her back.
Old Man Guan's face beamed like a chrysanthemum. "We won't take them, but you will? You're struggling to survive yourself, how can we expect you to help?"
Guan Yi... He's a man, but he has a son and daughter-in-law. Why would he need to take care of them? He only dared to think this, not say it aloud, for fear that his elder brother would kick him out.
"Let's buy one near their workplace. The second son gave Xiaoyu one apartment, and one apartment in this complex is enough. They're both busy with work, so it'll be more convenient to buy one near their workplace," Old Man Guan said after thinking for a moment.
"That's true. Saving some time will allow you to rest more. When your house relocation compensation comes through, give it all to Xiaoyu. I don't know if it will be enough," Sister Liu worried again.
"Give them both? Are you two going to die?" Guan Yi joked with a smile.
Sister Liu: "I have a pension, and I can rent out my old house. Grandpa Li also gave us a shop, which is enough for the two of us to live on. If Xiaoyu and her family are under a lot of pressure, I'm thinking of opening a mala tang (spicy hot pot) shop, which can help the kids a bit."
Guan Yi glanced at Old Man Guan's bad leg. He was seventy or eighty years old and practically useless, yet he still ran a shop?
Old Guan... he's practically dead, and he's still running a shop? Can't he enjoy a little happiness in his life?
"Sister-in-law, Xiaoyu and Guanbo earn quite a lot. If it's not enough, let them take out a loan. They both have housing provident funds, so we don't need to worry about it." The older sister-in-law had no idea about their family's financial situation. Let alone buying a house, even buying a whole street was something her older brother could afford.
Sister Liu: "That child is under a lot of pressure. We're still able to work, so we'll help as much as we can."
Old Man Guan smacked his lips. "The Zhou family even gave me a house, and I still have some savings. That's enough, more than enough. If you marry me, you can enjoy your old age in peace, and we won't do anything."
"You don't need to do it, I'll do it. What are you doing if you're not busy? Don't worry about it. I'm going to find Zhi Qiu to go out for some spicy hot pot and work on the recipe." Sister Liu left in a hurry.
Guan Yi laughed, "Brother, you're getting old, your stomach isn't good, and you're still living off a woman."
Old Man Guan said, "Get lost, you good-for-nothing! It's all your fault for insisting on marrying into my family. Now things are really complicated. Your sister-in-law doesn't know my family's situation, so of course she's worried. She's never been one to sit still."
Guan Yi: "That's a marriage where the wife marries into the family. If I hadn't told her today, my sister-in-law wouldn't have known. It's my fault. Why didn't you tell her about your family's situation?"
"Don't even think about my family's wealth. I can tell what you're up to just by looking at you," Old Man Guan said, glancing sideways at Guan Yi.
Guan Yi: "I don't want it either. I have to add some of it in. I just want to broaden my horizons and see what it's like."
"Can't see a thing," Old Man Guan snorted. Not to mention Guan Yi, even he himself couldn't see it. It's good that it's buried there; it's safer than being buried in a grave. If anyone wants to dig it out, they'll have to use heavy machinery.
Guan Yi... stingy.
