Chapter 658 (Page 1/2)
The next morning at ten o'clock, Lin Man went downstairs to deliver something to Qiu Mingyue.
Qiu Mingyue saw what she was holding from afar and roughly guessed the purpose of her visit. So a bright smile immediately blossomed on her face, and she walked forward enthusiastically and said, "Oh, sister-in-law, please come in and sit for a while!"
However, Lin Man just smiled and shook her head, standing at the door of Qiu Mingyue's house without moving, and responded at the same time:
"No, no, Sister Mingyue, I still have a lot of work waiting for me to do at home.
So, I came here today to bring you some specialties from Hai City on behalf of your husband."
As she spoke, Lin Man handed the heavy bag in her hand to Qiu Mingyue.
Qiu Mingyue quickly reached out to take the bag, her face filled with gratitude. Then she couldn't wait to ask, "Sister-in-law, does my husband have any message for me?"
Lin Man nodded and replied slowly, "Yes, yes. He specifically asked me to tell you not to worry about him. He's doing fine over there.
Besides, he repeatedly told you to take good care of the children and to send him a telegram if there was any emergency at home."
Hearing this, Qiu Mingyue felt relieved, but then she curiously asked, "Then...sister-in-law, did my husband give you some money or tickets or something like that to pass on to me?"
"No, he just asked me to bring you this bag of Haishi specialties. But if you want to ask him anything, you can call him directly."
Hearing this, Qiu Mingyue couldn't help but smile awkwardly, scratched her head and explained: "Oh, sister-in-law, this phone bill is very expensive, we can't afford it!
Writing a letter would save some money, but it's too much trouble. I think I'd better just stay at home and wait for him to call back!"
Lin Man had never expected Qiu Mingyue to say such a thing, which made her a little overwhelmed and she didn't even know how to continue communicating with her.
After hesitating for a moment, she could only reluctantly respond with a few irrelevant words, then quickly found an excuse and left in a hurry.
Then, like a frightened rabbit, she ran quickly towards the second floor.
When she returned to the door of her house panting, she found Huo Li standing there with a concerned look on his face, waiting for her return.
Lin Manzhi quickly opened the door on their side and invited grandpa to come in and sit down.
As soon as he entered the house, Huo Libing couldn't wait to ask, "Xiao Man, the children were all here last night. I know it was not convenient for you to explain things clearly at that time.
Now that it's just the two of us, tell Grandpa quickly, have you bought a house in Hai City? Is the yard spacious enough?

Hearing Huo Li's question, Lin Man calmed down a little, a hint of joy appeared on her face, and replied:
"Grandpa, we did buy the house! It's a large building with an area of more than 9,000 square meters, and there are several independent buildings inside."
Huo Li couldn't help but widen his eyes after hearing this, his eyes full of surprise and relief. He smiled cheerfully and said, "Oh my, that's great! You two are really amazing. This house must have cost a lot of money, right?"
Lin Man nodded and told the truth: "Yes, it cost a lot of money. The seller asked for 200,000 yuan at the beginning."
Huo Li couldn't help but gasp when he heard this and asked in surprise, "Two hundred thousand? How can a Western-style building in Hai City be so expensive?"
Lin Man returned to the room lightly, took out a thick stack of photos, went back to the living room, and gently placed them on the coffee table.
"Grandpa, this is a photo of Qingci and I taken in front of the western-style building.
Huo Li moved forward curiously, his eyes instantly attracted by the scene in the photo.
He stared wide-eyed, carefully examining the magnificent and beautiful western-style building in the photo, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement:
"Oh my! This Western-style building looks even more beautiful than our department store here! No wonder it's sold for such a high price."
Hearing Grandpa's admiration, Lin Man smiled slightly and explained softly, "Grandpa, you don't know that many of the building materials used to build this western-style building were transported back from distant foreign countries by the original owner who took the trouble to do so.
It is said that when it was first built, it cost hundreds of thousands of dollars!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Li's face showed a hint of worry, and he quickly asked, "Oh, so that's what's going on. So, in order to buy this house, you're going to spend all your family fortune, right?"
Lin Man hurried to comfort Grandpa: "Grandpa, don't worry. In fact, this house didn't really cost that much. After some bargaining, the final transaction price was set at 188,000 yuan."
Huo Li opened his mouth in surprise. "What? Over ten thousand yuan was reduced in one go! You guys are amazing! I didn't expect you all to be bargaining masters!"
"Grandpa, you don't have to worry about us not having enough money. The money we deposited in the bank has barely been touched in all these years."
“It’s good to have money to spend.”
Since his eldest grandson insisted on not taking his money anymore, he decided to leave all his savings to his great-great-grandson.
If his children come to make trouble for him, he will just beat them to death with his cane. The Huo family has already been divided once. Do they want to do it a second time?
