"Where are you talking about?!" Wu Guixiang was incredulous. She pointed at the house to confirm, her voice rising an octave. "You said this is your home?"
The magnificent three-story building, the tall red door, and the exquisitely carved auspicious clouds and beasts all caught the eyes of Wu Guixiang and Su Dalin.
In their imagination, although the third brother's family came to the capital, their conditions were definitely not very good for the time being. Everything was expensive in the capital, and even if the third brother had some private money, he could not rent a good house. Wu Guixiang was mentally prepared to see a dilapidated house, but in the end, she was dumbfounded.
Su Dalin's expression wasn't much better, he was also stunned.
"What do you mean your home or my home? This is our home." Su Aimin was a little amused. "Come on, let's go in."
"Wait, wait!" Wu Guixiang stood still. She had to ask clearly first, "Did you rent this house? Which floor do you live on? Or did you rent a room inside?" She didn't even dare to say anything bigger.
Do the third brother and his family have too much money to burn? How much does it cost to rent such a nice house? Wu Guixiang's heart ached. In the past, even the landlords and rich people didn't have such a grand house.
No, it’s not just before. Wu Guixiang recalled the house she saw on the road just now. Such a grand house is rare even in Beijing. Where did the third brother and his family get the money?
"Mom, are you sure we want to stand outside and talk?" Su Aimin said helplessly.
Wu Guixiang choked, looking at the people who kept walking by and looking in curiously, and could only hold back her words, "Go in and explain everything to me honestly."
"Let's go, grandma." Su Qingyun took Wu Guixiang's arm and half-pulled and half-dragged her in.
Seeing this, Su Dalin followed him in as if sleepwalking.
Su Aimin and Qin Ying looked at each other, both with helpless expressions. Ever since they knew their parents were coming, they knew this day would come, and the matter of the house must be clarified.
After entering, Wu Guixiang looked at the mahogany furniture, leather sofas, exquisite staircases, and glass arches...
She watched and breathed, and in the end she was completely silent, looking at Su Aimin with an extremely complicated look.
"Mom, what are you looking at? If you have any questions, just ask." Su Aimin looked at her mother's expression and felt inexplicably uneasy.
"Third brother, tell me the truth." Wu Guixiang took a deep breath and asked with determination, "What kind of work do you do in Beijing?"
"What?" Su Aimin was stunned. Weren't they talking about the house? Why were they suddenly talking about work?
"Your mother is asking you if you have done anything against the law or murder or robbery!" Su Dalin rarely spoke a long sentence and used two idioms to translate Wu Guixiang's implication.
Su Aimin: “…”
Qin Ying and Su Qingyun pursed their lips frantically, trying to hold back their laughter, but they really couldn't help it.
"Dad and Mom, thank you so much. You two really think highly of me." Su Aimin said this with great sincerity. He also killed people and robbed them. Is that something that ordinary people could do? That was something that required one's life to be saved. Even if he wanted to make money, he didn't do it very hard.
"Then explain it to me clearly!" Wu Guixiang took a look and sat down on the sofa. The good elasticity made her feel soft and fluffy. It was quite comfortable.
Qin Ying: "I'll go cook. Aimin, talk to your parents."
She had a premonition that her parents would be angry soon, so she ran away first.
Su Aimin widened his eyes and watched Qin Ying enter the kitchen.
"What are you looking at? Tell me!" Wu Guixiang raised her voice impatiently.
Su Qingyun glanced at her father. Her father touched his nose and whispered, "I told you not to shout. There are many neighbors here and they can hear us."
"You say." Wu Guixiang prepared herself mentally and decided to hold on to the rent no matter how much the house was rented out for.
"We bought this house." Su Aimin said quickly.
"What?!" Wu Guixiang was instantly defeated when she heard it, "Bought it?! Su Aimin, you robbed a bank!" Even if she didn't understand, she knew that the price of this house must be a huge number.
Su Qingyun was happy. Her grandmother even knew how to rob a bank.
"Stop shouting, stop shouting." Su Aimin said hurriedly. With his mother's voice, the whole Oak Alley could hear the noise from his house.
"Don't worry." Su Dalin patted Wu Guixiang on the back to calm her down. He was still calm. "Just listen to what the third brother has to say."
Looking at Su Aimin shrinking aside, Wu Guixiang tried hard to control her emotions and asked, "How much did you spend?" She knew that the third brother had secretly done some small business outside and made some money.
Su Aimin hesitated for a moment, then cautiously raised a finger.
"One thousand?" Wu Guixiang's heart ached and her voice trembled.
Su Dalin's eyelids also twitched.
How many years did it take for these people, whose ancestors had been working in the fields for generations, to save up a thousand yuan? And they just spent it on buying a house?
"No...no." Su Aimin stuttered, not daring to provoke his parents.
Su Qingyun really felt sorry for her father, so she helped finish what her father was about to say.
"Milk, one more zero."
One thousand, plus one more zero? Wu Guixiang took a full minute to react, then clutched her chest, truly about to have a heart attack.
Ten thousand yuan! A full ten thousand yuan! The third brother and his friends used ten thousand yuan to buy a house in Beijing!
This number kept circling in her mind like a demon. Wu Guixiang felt dizzy and almost fainted. Su Dalin's condition was not much better. He had a dazed look on his face, as if he had lost his soul.
