Upon seeing this document, Lu Zhiye became even more certain of his thoughts.
Meanwhile, Wen Sihe had already cleaned the table. Although they were guests, they were still quite old. It was inappropriate for the two young people to sit there doing nothing.
Jian Nanxing raised an eyebrow when she saw the clean table!
She slowly placed the wooden box on the table.
He pulled out a small silver hairpin from his hair and fiddled with it for a long time before finally opening the box!
Inside were several property registration books, which were not like the large red books of later times.
It's just a simple piece of paper!
Jian Nanxing pulled out three sheets of paper from the six sheets: "I've already heard about what happened before from Xin Xin!"
If it weren't for you, she probably would have been gone long ago, let alone the fact that we, grandmother and granddaughter, would have recognized each other!
Therefore, this land deed is given to you as a token of gratitude for saving your life.
Lu Zhiye looked closely and realized that it was the land deed of one of the shops they had rented!
This land deed may not seem impressive now, but in future generations, it could guarantee a comfortable life for several generations.
Lu Zhiye felt it was too precious and quickly waved his hand, saying, "I have children of my own. Even if that person hadn't been Xinxin that day, I would still have saved her. It's human nature!"
I believe you would feel the same way if you saw this!
Anyone in your shoes would have done the same, so you don't need to worry too much!
Jian Nanxing grew to admire Lu Zhiye more and more; her child had felt the same way before!
The smile in her eyes reached her very core: "I'm an old woman whose neck is almost buried in the yellow earth!"
These shops are too eye-catching; even if I lost my two children, I wouldn't be able to keep them!
Rather than doing that, I'd rather give it to you!
There are five shops at the entrance of the alley, and the two on the right are on the same land deed.
You rented a total of four shops, and these are the land deeds for those shops.
I'm giving it all to you, but let me make this clear beforehand: I have a condition!
Lu Zhiye squinted at the three pieces of paper.
To be honest, he was very tempted, as this would save him a lot of money!
Seeing his softening expression, Jian Nanxing quickly pressed her advantage: "I know my body can't hold on much longer!"
The two children are still young, and it will be a long time before they reach adulthood!
I'm afraid I won't be able to wait. You know, in this ruthless society, two underage kids simply can't protect so much stuff!
Some people even use the public's name to clamor for the two children to be donated!
Back then, my entire family—my parents-in-law, my sister-in-law's family, and my husband—were all wiped out!
Because the higher-ups saw how pitiful I was, all alone, they returned a small portion of these shops to me!
I understand what these people are thinking. They're just hoping that after I pass away, these shops will become ownerless and will be returned to me.
Who knows how much it will end up in everyone's pocket!
In their eyes, I'm just being used as a temporary cripple for their purposes.
When Jian Nanxing said this, her eyes were filled with tears and sarcasm.
Wen Sihe's heart clenched; clearly, she had never encountered such a dark side!
Lu Zhiye gently grasped her hand, looked up at Jian Nanxing, and asked, "Then what would you like us to do?"
"May my two children grow up safely and have no worries about food and clothing in the future!"
This is my most basic wish! I don't want anything else!
When Jian Nanxing saw Lu Zhiye agree, her eyes crinkled with joy.
Lu Zhiye frowned as he looked at the land deeds: "Are all of these in your name alone?"
If they want it to be transferred to our name, as you said, would those people agree?
Jian Nanxing seemed to have expected this. He cleared his throat and said, "They're too busy fighting to care about me."
As Jian Nanxing spoke, she took out a land deed from the bottom of the box.
Two pairs of eyes fell simultaneously on the bright red seal, and Wen Sihe gasped.
Jian Nanxing responded in a low voice: "As long as I hand this document over to the neighborhood office, I believe they will send someone to help me handle it!"
You can rest assured about that!
Lu Zhiye's brow twitched. He had worked hard for most of his life, yet he was still inferior to what others could casually take out.
The truth is so infuriating!
What Jian Nanxing took out was none other than the land deed for the building where the street office was located.
This may be the main reason why Jian Nanxing, an elderly man living alone, has been able to keep these things for so many years!
No wonder others didn't dare to cause trouble; it turns out there were people from the neighborhood committee guarding the area!
"If you're free tomorrow, let's go to the neighborhood office together!"
I'll donate this to the neighborhood committee for free; they won't give me any trouble, considering it's a building.
Wen Sihe swallowed hard: "Grandma Jian, even if you don't give us these things, just this land deed is enough to ensure that the two children have enough to eat and wear."
Jian Nanxing looked at the anxious Wen Sihe, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes. She gently grasped Wen Sihe's hand, which was resting on the table: "Knowing those people as I do, what could possibly happen to the two children the moment I leave?!"
Therefore, I trust you more than them!
There's an old saying: "If you've been entrusted with a task, you should be loyal to it."
I'm giving you the land deeds for these shops because I want you to agree to this!
Knowing your mother as I do, her children can't be too bad, can they?
When she mentioned Yan Wenqing, a hint of tenderness flashed in Lu Zhiye's eyes.
Jian Nanxing had a very simple and direct approach: if she went directly to Yan Wenqing, given his gentle and sentimental nature, he would definitely agree!
If the parents agree, how can the children disagree?
But Jian Nanxing didn't do that; instead, he went directly to the young couple!
That shows they are very respectful!
While Lu Zhiye was pondering the risks involved, the old woman took out the remaining two land deeds: "This one is the storefront you rented, and the one next to it is the land deed!"
They returned all seven storefronts to me!
I won't give you the land deeds for these two houses; I'll leave them to the two children.
With you all here, you can help keep an eye on things!
And in the small courtyard where I live, do you see that wall?
The neighboring yard shares the same land deed as mine, except that it was divided in two when it was originally allocated!
The family next door doesn't want to move, and I'm afraid people will say that I'm an old lady living in such a big place, and then they'll come looking for trouble!
So no one paid any attention to these things. Originally, this was a large courtyard, but someone built it in the middle!
I'm temporarily keeping these two land deeds with the local government office; they'll be allocated to the two children later!
The old lady revealed all her cards!
It looks like they're making arrangements for the worst!
The couple felt terrible after hearing this!
