"I'm home."
The car stopped at the entrance of the courtyard house. Lin Xiaoxiao got out of the car, stretched, and looked at her familiar home, a smile involuntarily appearing on her face.
"This house is nice, it's big." The uncle likes spacious places.
He doesn't like living in those buildings and apartments in the port city.
Lin Xiaoxiao opened the door, and as the group walked inside, she told them about the history of the house.
“Aisin-Gioro Wenyan?” Wen Mo paused slightly.
Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, "Dad knows him?"
Where are you? Are you still alive?
Wen Mo thought for a moment and said, "I have a vague impression of him, but I don't know if it's him. His name is Jin Wenyan."
Lin Xiaoxiao: "I heard that after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the descendants of the royal family all changed their surnames. Aisin Gioro means gold in Manchu, so it should be correct if the surname is Jin. Where is he now?"
Since I accepted the dying man's entrustment, I naturally have to fulfill it.
“Hong Kong City,” Wen Mo said. “I’ve only seen him once, at the police station. He must be having a hard time. He was robbed and came to the police station to report it.”
Life is difficult...
This makes it even more important to find the person.
After all, his father gave Qin Yushen such an expensive courtyard house.
Uncle knew he had to repay this favor, and said firmly, "Let Lao Wu and the others find him. Once they find him, ask for his opinion. If he wants to go back to the mainland, send him back. If he wants to stay in Hong Kong, buy him a few houses and give him some money. At least make sure he lives a comfortable life."
This is the best method, and Wen Mo and Wen Shiyu nodded in agreement.
Lin Xiaoxiao was relieved.
With Uncle's connections in the port city, finding someone would be easy.
Upon entering the living room, Lin Xiaoxiao glanced around and saw that it was still very clean. Qin Yushen must have asked someone to come and clean the house regularly before he left.
Just as she was about to boil water to make tea, the bodyguard stepped forward and said, "Miss, just tell me what to do, and I'll take care of it."
“Yes, sit down and rest.” Wen Shiyu pulled her back. “Or let your dad do it.”
After speaking, he glanced at Wen Mo, his meaning very clear.
Finally, Wen Mo and the bodyguard took over the task of boiling water, and ten minutes later, everyone was drinking hot tea.
Wen Mo walked in, covered in dust, and it was obvious that he had taken a stroll in the backyard.
"This house is really big, and there's a large empty space in the back."
Lin Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "Qin Yushen and I can't live in that much space, so we didn't bother with the backyard."
After saying that, she had a sudden inspiration, "Dad, Mom, Uncle, Grandpa, why don't you all stay here? It would be so lively if the whole family lived together."
Wen Mo patted her head and sat down.
"Once the backyard is tidied up, we can come and stay for a couple of days occasionally."
"I don't want to stay long-term, I have a house in Beijing."
It's not that he doesn't want to live closer to his daughter, but she's already married, and her husband's parents are still alive. He doesn't want his daughter to be gossiped about.
“...Okay.” Lin Xiaoxiao knew his concerns and said somewhat reluctantly.
Wen Shiyu patted her hand reassuringly, "Isn't the yard next door empty? Mom will buy it and you can be her neighbor."
Before entering, the uncle observed the surrounding environment. It was a large courtyard house, but only the two houses at the very edge had people coming and going, so it must be a tenement.
Almost all the large courtyards at the back, including Lin Xiaoxiao's house, were locked, and the locks were covered with layers of dust.
Not many people live there.
Presumably due to some special reasons, the government has not yet made use of these courtyards.
Lin Xiaoxiao was also tempted, but she knew the policy was in place. "The house can't be bought and sold now. If it's allowed in two years, then I'll buy it."
"Uncle?" Wen Shiyu looked at her uncle when she heard that she couldn't buy a house.
She really wanted to live closer to her child.
The uncle smiled and nodded, "If Xiaoyu wants to buy it, it's no problem."
Lin Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "Why?"
Could it be that her mother has some other privileges?
"Donate some money to the government," the uncle said frankly.
“Then I’ll donate.” Wen Shiyu decided without hesitation.
Money is just an external thing; giving it to the government is also a contribution to social development, and she is not stingy at all.
Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask, "Mom, how much are you planning to donate?"
Wen Shiyu waved her hand, "Fifty million."
Lin Xiaoxiao: "..." Even a pupil shock couldn't be more intense than this.
Even though she knew her mother was wealthy, her mother's extravagant spending still left her speechless.
"Ahem... So which department should we donate to?" she asked.
Wen Shiyu was unaware of this, so she looked at Wen Mo and her uncle. After discussing it, the two decided to donate the money directly to the Ministry of Finance.
At that time, 50 million was already a very large sum of money, and it accounted for a very considerable proportion of the country's fiscal revenue.
Simply put, if this 50 million were invested in industrial construction, it could build five or six large factories.
Keep in mind that the budget for building a large steel plant or machinery plant is only ten million.
If invested in agriculture, large-scale water conservancy projects can be constructed.
Not to mention national defense.
In summary, fifty million is a sum of money that should not be underestimated.
The key point is that Wen Shiyu handed over this money not for anything else, but simply to have the qualification to buy a house, and the money for the house was not included.
Such a good thing, the higher-ups won't disagree.
For the first time, Lin Xiaoxiao experienced what it meant to have money make the world go round.
She suddenly became curious about how much wealth her mother actually had, spending fifty million as easily as if it were five cents.
While she was letting her imagination run wild, her uncle was already discussing with Wen Mo when to donate the money and who to ask to act as a go-between.
Matchmaker?
Lin Xiaoxiao snapped out of her daze. "What about my godfather? He works in the business department."
The Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Finance should be closely related.
Hearing the term "godfather," Wen Mo felt a pang of jealousy, as if he were soaking in acid, feeling uncomfortable all over.
"You don't need to ask your godfather, your father can contact the higher-ups."
He hadn't expected to make a name for himself so soon, but his daughter, instead of thinking of her biological father, went to that so-called godfather when she needed help.
He refused.
Wen Shiyu sensed the sourness in his tone and knew what he was thinking without even thinking. She smiled but didn't say anything.
"Don't mind your dad, he's very immature. He was unreliable when he was young, and he's still unreliable now." The uncle chuckled and scolded him, sounding annoyed.
Lin Xiaoxiao was a little confused. What did she say?
Why does Wen Mo look so unhappy?
Wen Shiyu reminded her, "Your dad is having a showdown with your godfather."
Oh, it's sour.
Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to laugh, but noticing Wen Mo's gaze, she didn't dare to.
He kept it to himself, then said, "Dad, I've become godparents to the Chu family. Should we invite them to dinner?"
Now that she has found her biological parents, she will definitely want to acknowledge her kinship with the Chu family.
