but.
So what if Zhou Jinpeng's old house is demolished?
Isn't all the money from the demolition compensation going to those brothers?
Zhou Jinpeng quickly stopped writing, handed the document to Manager Zhang, and said, "I've signed it."
Hearing this, the four brothers breathed a sigh of relief.
These two million are finally theirs!
Manager Zhang took the document and said, "Okay, Mr. Zhou, we'll go and process the transfer for you right away."
“Okay,” Zhou Jinpeng continued, “Thank you for your help, Manager Zhang.”
With this important task completed, Zhou Jinpeng felt relieved and could sleep more soundly at night.
Manager Zhang smiled and said, "It's our job, it's what we do."
Zhou Changmu then asked, "Manager Zhang, when will our money arrive in our account?"
"Because the amount is relatively large, it will arrive within 48 hours," Manager Zhang replied.
Zhou Changyu frowned slightly. "So troublesome?"
Manager Zhang continued, "This is the normal procedure. If the funds do not arrive within 48 hours, you can contact me at any time."
"Oh well."
After leaving the bank, Zhou Jinpeng went home with his nephews.
It takes four hours to get back from here.
When we arrived at Zhou Jinpeng's hometown, it was already past nine o'clock at night.
Zhou Jinpeng first went back to rest with his nephew Zhou Changshu.
As soon as he arrived home, his nephew's wife, Guangxiufeng, greeted him warmly, "Uncle, you're finally back! Have you eaten? The rice in the pot is still warm!"
Zhou Jinpeng smiled and said, "I've already eaten, Xiufeng, you don't need to trouble yourself."
"Then I'll get you a glass of water. You must be tired after such a long drive." With that, Guang Xiufeng went to get Zhou Jinpeng some water.
Zhou Changshu followed his wife's footsteps. "I'll go with you, Uncle. Please sit on the sofa and rest for a while."
“Okay.” Zhou Jinpeng nodded, his eyes full of smiles.
Although his life had its shortcomings, he was still lucky to have met four good nephews and nieces-in-law.
Zhou Changshu followed his wife into the kitchen.
As soon as she entered, Guangxiufeng lowered her voice and asked, "Did the old man transfer all the money to you?"
“It’s already been transferred,” Zhou Changshu replied.
Hearing this, Guangxiu Feng frowned slightly. "Since you've already transferred him, why did you bring him back? The second, third, and fourth sons also have an obligation to support their elders! Why do you have to show off like this?"
This money wasn't taken by their family alone.
Guang Xiufeng is not the kind of person who suffers in silence.
Zhou Changshu glanced in the direction of the living room and, seeing that Zhou Jinpeng hadn't followed, he continued, "Although the money has been transferred, the bank said it will take 48 hours for it to arrive. I've inquired, and within those 48 hours, if the old man changes his mind, the money could be withdrawn."
Upon hearing this, Guangxiu Feng's brow twitched.
If that's the case, then we really can't neglect the old man for the time being.
Never mind!
It's only forty-eight hours.
She endured it.
Zhou Changshu continued, "Moreover, the old man only transferred two million to each of the four of us, and he still has one million left in his own bank account."
Zhou Jinpeng didn't receive any demolition compensation when he went out to play; he spent all his savings from previous jobs.
Guang Xiufeng's eyes widened instantly, and she frowned, saying, "There's still a million left? What does a lonely old man like him need so much money for?"
Zhou Jinpeng is already over sixty years old. How many more years can he live?
Don't even mention a million!
He probably couldn't even spend 100,000 yuan.
Guang Xiufeng grew angrier the more she thought about it. "Could it be that he wants to find another concubine?"
They're all so old, can't they just behave themselves?!
“Who knows what he’s up to! Anyway, he still has a million in his account,” Zhou Changshu said, taking a can of iced cola from the refrigerator. “Now the second, third, and fourth sons are all eyeing this money, trying every possible way to get the old man to live in their house.”
Although Zhou Jinpeng had already given each of them two million.
But human nature is inherently greedy.
Having two million, they still want another million.
They won't stop until they've squeezed every last drop of Zhou Jinpeng's savings.
"Move them to their house? That won't do!" Guang Xiufeng continued, "The second, third, and fourth sons are all troublemakers! Especially the fourth son's wife, she's cunning and slippery. If they move into their house, the old man's money will probably be swindled away in three days."
Zhou Changshu nodded. "You're right. The fourth brother and his wife aren't good people. So the old man said that we'll draw lots tomorrow, and he'll go to live with whoever's house he draws."
Guang Xiufeng was still very dissatisfied, "Why draw lots! You're the eldest, he's not even coming to stay with us, why draw lots!"
Zhou Changshu glanced back at the living room again before speaking, "The money is in his hands now, he's the boss and he calls the shots. Fortunately, he didn't specify whose house it should be in. Now we'll see how the lottery goes tomorrow."
Guang Xiufeng clasped her hands together and prayed, "May the Bodhisattva protect me and make sure the old man comes to my house!!!"
The couple lingered in the kitchen for quite a while before finally returning to the living room.
Guangxiu Feng held a cup of water in her hand. "Uncle, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to sleep if you drank strong tea at night, so I specially brewed some chrysanthemum tea for you. It's good for cooling down. Please try it. These are wild chrysanthemums that I picked myself on the mountain a few days ago. There are no additives."
