"I've been planting all my life and I'm still not done," Li Mantun said, looking at the yard, sharing the same thought as Li Mancang.
“If we grow our own, we won’t have to buy it. Every little bit helps,” Liu Cuihua said, knowing how to manage money.
"Second Aunt, your money must be getting moldy by now. Why don't you take it out and air it out?" the third brother joked.
"Where would I get money? There are several debt collectors at home, and no amount of money would be enough!" Liu Cuihua couldn't help but start cursing again.
"Upstairs, second son, you can each pick a room, decorate it yourselves, and move in. You'll have to move it all by yourselves," the old man said to Li Mantun, pointing to the floor above his.
Li Mantun pointed upstairs and asked, "Choose whatever you like?"
The others also looked at the old man. Apart from Li Mancang, Wu Zhiqi, the second son, Chunni, and Dalaba, no one else knew that his family had bought two houses.
The old man grinned and said, "That building over there was bought by your second nephew. If you want to live there, you'll have to pay for it."
The third brother looked at the second brother and asked, "Second brother, are you buying a house?"
The second brother shook his clothes. "What's wrong? Do you think I don't have the ability?"
The third brother's surprised face immediately turned into a smile. "Of course not. My second brother's 1,000 or 2,000 is just a drop in the ocean. Second brother, um, how about I renovate one floor too?"
Su Mo covered her face. "Let's buy our own floor."
"No, I want to stay close to my grandparents and parents. Buying things would keep me away from them."
The second son pointed to the building next door and said, "This one hasn't been sold yet. Don't worry about stopping you from looking around. If you want to buy it, I can give you a discount."
"Second brother, you have a share in this land. Who buys houses one by one? I'm just trying to make a quick buck," the third brother complained, feigning poverty.
“I’m not buying. You can just watch. I live on the second floor. I’ll give each of Manman and Xiaoyu a floor. There’s not enough for my own son.” The second son counted on his fingers.
"Six floors in total, and you're still counting on your fingers? How embarrassing! Grandpa, dear Grandpa, hehe, my second uncle lives on one floor, so I'll live on one floor too." The third son's target was the old man again, and he smiled ingratiatingly.
“I have a bunch of grandchildren, how can you have the nerve to ask for it? If I give it to you, will I give it to someone else who wants it? It’s not like you don’t have money, go buy it yourself,” the old man said irritably.
The third brother... he couldn't bear to part with him.
"Dad, you bought this whole building?" Liu Cuihua asked, resting her chin on her hand, as if she had just realized what was happening.
"Yes, the relocation compensation has all been used to buy this place. You and your eldest brother will each get three floors, but you'll have to wait until I die to divide it among yourselves. For now, you can only live here. Don't bring any of your messy things into this place." The old man made it clear that his relocation compensation was gone, and that you shouldn't worry about it anymore.
The third son felt that among the nonsense his grandfather was talking about, he was one of them.
"Dad, I haven't been able to take care of you properly, how can I live here?" Li Mantun felt a little ashamed. Over the years, his older brother had taken care of their parents, and now that the relocation compensation was being split equally, he felt embarrassed.
"If you're not comfortable staying here, then go back to your pigeon coop." The old lady was too lazy to be polite; if she offered it to you, then so be it.
"Mom, we're here. My older brother used to take care of you, and Mantun and I will take care of you from now on." Liu Cuihua was so happy that she couldn't stop her teeth chattering. At her age, they finally got to rely on her.
"I'll renovate it myself," the old man said, and went inside.
"Yes, Dad, we know. We'll start installing tomorrow," Liu Cuihua quickly followed him inside.
The room was decorated in a Chinese style, and all the furniture was brought in by Wu Zhiqi.
"This furniture is quite nice," Chen Chengping said, recognizing its quality at a glance.
"They were all bought by the eldest son's wife. We'll use them first, and they'll all belong to the eldest son in the future," the old man said, making sure to leave no room for confusion and giving clear instructions.
