Chapter 635 Agreeing to Buy a House (Page 1/2)
Huo Qingci quickly responded, "Alright, that's settled then. By the way, I'll be in the dean's office tomorrow waiting to take your call. You can just call Dean Qin directly then."
"Yeah, I get it. I'll hang up first." Lin Man responded.
"Manman, I really miss you. Please come to Hai City to accompany me. I've been waiting for you here." Huo Qingci said happily and a little coquettishly.
Lin Man couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard this: "Haha, you guy, it's only been a short time since we broke up, not even two months."
"But I think about you every day and every moment." Huo Qingci said shamelessly.
"Okay, okay, stop being so cheesy. Let's continue talking about this tomorrow. I'm hanging up first." As soon as the words fell, Lin Man quickly hung up the phone without giving Huo Qingci a chance to say another word.
After paying the phone bill, Lin Man returned from the hospital and soon arrived at the family quarters. She stood in front of the door of the next room and raised her hand to knock gently.
“Boom boom boom~!”
“Who is it?”
"Grandpa, it's me, Xiao Man."
The door opened quickly. When Huo Li saw that it was his granddaughter-in-law standing outside, a kind smile immediately broke out on his face. He asked affectionately, "Xiao Man, I heard Qing Ci just called back? Is there something urgent?"
Lin Man didn't tell Huo Li about selling medicinal herbs. Instead, she said to him, "Grandpa, Qingci said he wanted to buy a Western-style house in Hai City and asked me to come and ask you."
Huo Li knew that his eldest grandson was very rich, and he could understand that he wanted to buy a house, but why did he want to buy it in Hai City? Did he want to settle down there?
"Xiao Man, does Qing Ci want to settle down in Hai City?"
Lin Man knew that Grandpa had misunderstood that they wanted to settle down in Hai City, so she quickly explained, "No, Grandpa, Qingci bought the house so that we would have a place to live when we go there. He said that when the children grow up, if anyone goes there to develop their careers, they will have a place to live.
Even if I don’t need the house anymore, I can still sell it and maybe make a lot of money…”
Huo Li also understood that he could not use the money in his grandson's space in Beijing for the time being. He could try it in Hai City and use the money to buy a house.
After a moment's contemplation, he said, "Oh, so that's how it is! Please allow me to think about this matter carefully, and I'll give you an answer tonight."
"Okay, Grandpa, you're busy then."
Lin Man knew everything clearly. She knew her grandfather would never tell her parents-in-law about this matter. Because if they knew, they would definitely ask where the money came from.
If this gets to the ears of my fourth uncle, younger uncle, and aunts, it will be a disaster!
They might mistakenly think that grandpa gave all the treasures and money in the house to their family.
This will probably trigger a series of troublesome problems that will cause endless headaches.
Thinking of this, Lin Man shook her head slightly, sighed helplessly, then stood up and walked towards her house next door.
After returning home, she quickly closed the door and then walked into the foggy space as if she were familiar with the place.
Huo Qingci just called her and told her that Shan Ke wanted to buy a few kilograms of wild Gastrodia elata for his family.
She decided to go to the medicinal field and dig some fresh Gastrodia elata.
The processing of Gastrodia elata is complicated and requires nine steaming and nine drying. It is estimated that it will take ten days or so before it can be mailed to Shan Ke's mother.
Shan Ke's wife lived on the first floor with her children. Lin Man thought that after the Gastrodia elata was processed, she would send two kilograms to her first, and then send five kilograms back to Shan Ke's mother.
One pound of fresh Gastrodia elata can only produce three ounces of dried Gastrodia elata. The Dan Ke family needs seven pounds of dried Gastrodia elata, so she has to dig at least twenty pounds of fresh Gastrodia elata.

Since we need to process Gastrodia elata, we must prepare more at one time. Lin Man plans to dig 200 kilograms of fresh Gastrodia elata this morning, wash it in the morning, and start steaming it for the first time in the afternoon.
She will start baking in the oven tomorrow morning and steam it a second time in the afternoon... In short, she has to process this batch of Gastrodia elata within ten days.
Lin Man spent the whole morning digging Gastrodia elata. She didn't weigh how much she had dug. Anyway, she stopped digging after digging seven baskets and brought the Gastrodia elata back to the villa.
Pour it into a large cleaning machine and rinse it clean in half an hour without damaging the skin. I took out a few small ones and stewed a pot of Gastrodia elata and black chicken soup for myself, then left the space and started preparing lunch.
After lunch, the children packed their bags and went to school.
When the house returned to peace, Huo Li tiptoed to the sofa in the living room and sat down. He looked gently at Lin Man, who was busy setting the table, and said softly, "Xiao Man, the children have gone to school. Let's talk about buying a house."
Hearing this, Lin Man stopped what she was doing, turned around and sat down next to Huo Li, smiling and responding, "Okay, Grandpa, have you made up your mind?"
Huo Li nodded slightly and said slowly, "Xiao Man, how about this? Take some time this afternoon to call Qing Ci and tell him that if he wants to buy a house, then go ahead and buy it!"
Lin Man nodded gently in agreement, then continued, "Grandpa, Qingci told me before that he hopes I can come over to his place. He said he has a lot of money left with me."
Huo Li smiled kindly, patted the back of Lin Man's hand, and said gently, "Then you can go there. But I still have a few thousand yuan in my passbook. If you need it, you can use it first."
Lin Man quickly waved her hand and declined, "Grandpa, it's really not necessary. We have already prepared the money for buying a house. You can keep the money for yourself."
Lin Man knew very well that her grandfather's pension had always been quite high, and that he basically didn't need to spend too much money when living with them.
In the past few years since the family split up, my grandfather has been saving his salary bit by bit, and I estimate he has saved several thousand yuan now.
However, if they really accepted the money from Grandpa, Fourth Aunt and Younger Aunt would definitely come running and make a fuss like a cat smelling fish.
Lin Manke didn't want to cause trouble for no reason. Besides, their family had never intended to let others know about buying a house.
Seeing that Lin Man was determined not to accept the money, Huo Li hurriedly said, "If you are short of money, just tell me anytime. You can also sell those gold bars if you need to cash them in!"
Lin Man quickly responded, "Grandpa, don't worry about it. We know what to do."
Then, Huo Li asked with concern: "Xiao Man, since you have decided to go to Hai City to look at houses, when are you planning to leave?"
Lin Man thought for a moment and replied, "Maybe wait another ten days or so. Then I plan to ask Qing Huan to come live with us and ask him to help look after the children for a few days."
Huo Li nodded in agreement, then said, "Okay, then I'll go talk to Qing Huan about this this afternoon and tell her that Qing Ci misses you, so you have to go to Hai City to visit him.
As for buying a house, I promise I won't tell them a word, you can rest assured."
Hearing Huo Li say this, Lin Man responded gratefully, "I know, Grandpa, thank you for keeping it a secret for us."
