Ye Weiwei smiled and said, "Uncle, what are you saying? Isn't this what I should do?"
Zhang Changnian patted Ye Weiwei on the shoulder, "Uncle is just remarking that our little girl has grown up so quickly without us noticing."
Although he was pleased with Ye Weiwei's growth, he was even more distressed by the price she paid for it.
If he could, he would still hope that she would always be that carefree little girl, cherished and pampered by them.
But reality forces people to compromise. Fortunately, this little girl came to her senses and started living her life on her own. She even caused a scene in the Northwest, making life a little easier for her older sister and brother-in-law.
Although he didn't go there in person, he found out a lot of information about the area, and even he had to admit that the little girl had good judgment.
Huo Xiao made a good choice in his partner!
Ye Weiwei felt inexplicably guilty. Although she believed she deserved this affection, her body had been replaced by a different soul.
I can only repay the original owner double in return.
Chu Zhao, exhausted from days of travel, went to rest early. Liu Guilan, knowing that Zhang Changnian and Ye Weiwei had a lot to talk about, also went home early.
Zhang Changnian asked Huo Xiao to bring the two large packages he had brought into the room, and asked him to open the unopened package and take out a cloth bag from it.
"This is the money from selling the ginseng we dug last time."
Ye Weiwei knew from the sight of the full cloth bag that it must have made a lot of money.
"Uncle, you can take this money back. We don't need it."
Ye Weiwei vividly recounted to Zhang Changnian how she earned foreign exchange on the train, which Zhang Changnian thoroughly enjoyed.
"Good! As expected of my niece, Zhang Changnian! That's how she should be! Daring to run wild on our turf, those bastards are too much!"
However, he quickly became annoyed, "I didn't expect those pills to be so valuable and to generate foreign exchange. I offered too little for my ginseng."
Ye Weiwei chuckled: "How can that be the same! The ginseng was bought for medicinal use, but the pills are my exclusive secret recipe. I don't even need to consider the cost of this recipe! Besides, how can it be the same whether it's for our own people or for foreigners?"
Zhang Changnian laughed heartily: "That's right, they absolutely can't be the same! How can those foreigners compare to our people!"
Even though he knew Ye Weiwei had a lot of money, Zhang Changnian still wanted to give it all to her.
It was already agreed that the ginseng was found by Ye Weiwei and belonged to her.
They had already gained a great advantage by getting those pills, so why would they want to take advantage of the little girl as well?
If word gets out, how will I save face?
Seeing that he wouldn't accept it, Ye Weiwei thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, this money is just a pile of paper. Why don't you take it and exchange it for something else for me? For example, if there are any good properties in your area, and someone wants to sell them at a reasonable price, you can help me buy them."
Zhang Changnian frowned: "What do you need these things for?"
Houses are not easy to buy or sell these days. Although there are transactions, they are in the minority because the authorities are very strict about them.
Ye Weiwei: "I just like big, beautiful houses."
Ye Weiwei remembers that during this special period, many garden villas and the like were very cheap in Haicheng. Some people found ways to move to the port city or overseas because of the situation in China, and sold their property before leaving.
Some properties have been seized, and the housing management office may also put them up for sale.
"Okay, then your uncle will ask your aunt and your brothers to help you inquire about using this money to buy you a big house."
When Zhang Changnian heard Ye Weiwei say she liked it, he immediately agreed.
Ye Weiwei was still worried and quickly instructed, "We should only buy this if we find a suitable one that is sure to be safe. I'm not in a hurry, so it's okay if we can't find it."
Zhang Changnian chuckled and said, "Don't worry, your uncle knows what to do!"
His beloved niece rarely has a hobby, and as her uncle, he had to fulfill it no matter what.
Ye Weiwei then inquired about the recent situation of her aunt and two cousins. After chatting about family matters for a while, Huo Xiao suggested that her uncle go and rest, and that was the end of the conversation.
Huo Xiao escorted Zhang Changnian back to his room. As soon as they stepped out, Zhang Changnian kicked him. Huo Xiao quickly dodged and threw a punch at the same time. The two exchanged more than ten blows in silence.
"You little rascal, you're full of bad intentions!"
Zhang Changnian muttered in a low voice, clearly dissatisfied.
Huo Xiao touched his nose. "Weiwei and the baby go to bed around this time every day. If it's any later, she has to get up at night to feed the baby, so she doesn't get enough rest."
Upon hearing this reason, Zhang Changnian felt much better. "You're a thoughtful kid!"
He was indeed tired.
Although Chu Liang and the police officer took turns driving the whole way, and Chu Zhao stayed in a guesthouse every night to take care of his health, he was still exhausted from being in the car for several days in a row and couldn't stretch out.
Before going to bed, Ye Weiwei briefly told Huo Xiao about Chu Zhao's illness. Huo Xiao couldn't help but feel sorry for him: "Judging from his extraordinary demeanor, I knew his family background was not simple. I didn't expect there to be such filth behind him."
Ye Weiwei thought to herself, "It's quite normal for many large families to appear glamorous on the surface but be a mess inside."
The conflicts and struggles within large families involve too many complex interests, making it difficult to prevent many things from happening.
Huo Xiao sighed, "It's better this way. Although life is a bit tough, everyone in the family is of one mind, and there are no messy things going on."
Ye Weiwei yawned: "It's good to live a simple life."
Huo Xiao suddenly remembered that Ye Weiwei liked beautiful big houses, and looking at the three little ones on his kang (a heated brick bed), he started to make plans.
