Jian Nanxing was also in a bit of a dilemma. The money that Aunt Mole had was more than enough to buy one or two houses, but it was impossible for her to buy one with a small courtyard.
Unless it's a relatively remote area, but neither of them has a job and they have to take care of their child. Without any acquaintances to help them, their little savings will soon be gone!
Lu Zhiye's eyes twitched slightly: "Auntie, didn't you used to help the people in the yard pick up and drop off the kids and look after the children?"
This is practically your job, isn't it? They pay you monthly, you can't just quit like that, can you?
The old lady with the mole slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "That's right! If it weren't for this incident, I would have stayed in the countryside!"
You have no idea how awful Guihua's mother-in-law's words can be!
I didn't want to come here and suffer this kind of treatment. I was just worried that if I suddenly left, there would be no one to take care of those teachers' children.
We at least need to make sure the children are settled properly; that would be giving them some closure!
The old woman with the mole's words commanded the respect of everyone present.
Even Lu Zhiye felt a surge of respect for Aunt Wu.
All eyes fell on the old woman with the mole, which made her straighten up!
Even Old Liu's gaze towards the old lady with the mole sparkled with starlight!
Lu Zhiye pulled up a stool and sat down by the stove: "I have an idea for you. The houses over there by Sister Guihua aren't expensive!"
Why don't you look around and see if there's a suitable courtyard house? Wait, that's not right. I remember finding you a courtyard house before, didn't you already buy it?"
Lu Zhiye slapped his forehead, suddenly remembering this matter; he had even gone to check it out before!
Whenever this is mentioned, Auntie Mole's face falls: "Don't even mention it. Last year, Liye wanted to do something, and he partnered with a second-generation factory worker."
They didn't have enough money, so they were going to sell their little courtyard. I thought to myself, if two adults and two kids sell it, where will they live in the future?
Anyway, they treat me like their own aunt. If I sell my courtyard and squeeze in with them, it will be a way to give them start-up capital!
Later, after Liye made money, he wanted to buy the yard back, but the owner absolutely refused to sell. He said he would sell it for 1,000 yuan more than the original price!
I was unwilling to do that, so it got delayed again and again!
Sigh, if I had known this would happen...
The old woman with the mole spoke in a low voice, and did not continue speaking.
But Wen Sihe felt that even if such a thing happened again, Aunt Mole would make the same choice.
When the two of them arrived in Beijing, they were completely unfamiliar with the city and its people. They had staked their future on Li Guihua and her family!
This kind of thinking is only natural, especially considering that Auntie with the mole and her family have also put in a lot of effort.
If it weren't for the help of Auntie Wei and her husband, Li Guihua's family might not have been able to attend school at all!
Therefore, neither of them can say that the other is wrong!
Lu Zhiye stroked his chin: "Auntie, I'll go with you to take a look in the next few days. Let's leave the two children here for now!"
You're spending Chinese New Year here this year, while we go over there to see if we can find a suitable place to stay?
Ideally, it shouldn't be too far from your original house, so you can still do your old job!
The teachers in that area are all capable people. Asking them for help to buy a house and register the two children's household registrations shouldn't be difficult!
Nowadays, university students' food rations are tied to their household registration, which in turn is tied to their student status. So it can be very convenient to find certain professors in the university!
Upon seeing Lu Zhiye, Auntie Mole felt reassured and instantly became full of energy: "Alright, let's go tomorrow!"
I want to see what kind of trouble that old drama queen is up to!
"I've raised Jianjun and his wife for so long; the bond we share isn't something that old hag can just sever!"
A genuine smile finally appeared on the face of the woman with the mole!
Thinking of the two children, Jian Nanxing still asked with concern, "Are you sure you want to adopt these two children?"
Perhaps it was because he was getting old, or perhaps it was because looking at the two children reminded him of his own grandchildren, that Jian Nanxing was unusually kind-hearted!
The old lady with the mole scratched her head: "After this incident, I've figured it out!"
If Guihua and Liye are orphans, we will take care of their children and do our best for them. They will take care of us in our old age without any problem!
But neither of them are. The blood ties are there, and it's not something that can be severed with a knife!
If I force myself to get involved, all this friendship will eventually disappear!
These two children are pitiful. They are still young and don't remember much, so we'll raise them as our own.
"No matter what happens in the future, at least you can break a pot for us."
The old lady with the mole spoke with a sigh, recalling how she had been so enthusiastic in helping Li Guihua and the others back then!
Our friendship over the years is genuine, so let it remain as it is now!
Otherwise, the two families will only become enemies in the future!
Lu Zhiye agreed with the old lady with the mole's idea. He secretly gave her a thumbs up, and the old lady with the mole raised her eyebrows triumphantly.
She said that she must have learned a lot about etiquette and manners from those old scholars!
It's already the 28th of the lunar year, and tomorrow will be the 29th. That evening, Niu Liye, who had been busy for several weeks, finally returned home!
Seeing his daughter and son with red eyes, he quickly pulled them into his arms: "What happened?"
“Grandma wouldn’t let me eat meat, and she hit my hands. She also took away all my pocket money.”
When Niu Niu saw her father come home, she cried even louder!
Hearing the noise, the cow mother, who was lying in bed, shuffled out and said, "What are you doing wailing here so late at night?"
However, in the living room, there were not only two children, but also Niu Liye, who exuded a cold aura.
The cow mother tensed up, then quickly put on a smile: "Liye, you're finally back!"
"You're already twenty-eight, what are you doing? So busy?"
Niu Liye coldly scanned the room: "Why are so many things missing from this room?"
The cow replied sheepishly, "I saw that a lot of things were useless, so I sold them all to the junk dealers!"
It takes up space inside the house!
"Niu Niu said you wouldn't give her meat and took away her allowance. What happened?"
"Hey! The little kid is talking nonsense. Where do I not give her meat?"
These days, everyone emphasizes a balanced diet of meat and vegetables, right? This little girl is just too focused on eating meat.
And that pocket money, I really need to have a word with you. You're a grown-up, what are you doing giving her so much money?"
The cow mother didn't think she was wrong and stubbornly shouted.
