Chapter 110 Installment
Granny Xu was a little skeptical, but she still felt that it was just a broken bamboo tube, so why would it cost so much money?
She waved her hands: "No, no."
Zhu Suisui sighed and said, "Grandma, you are right. I really did want to help you. When you were little, you always took care of me. When others bullied me and said that I was not in good health, you would help me whenever you saw it. At that time, I knew that you were good to me."
Talking about this, Grandma Xu couldn't help wiping away tears.
An outsider could remember all this, but her own children could not.
I just know that she is a burden.
How could she not feel sad?
Zhu Suisui added, "It's one thing to help you, and it's one thing to sell this bamboo tube for a good price. Grandma, I know what you're worried about. I won't give you the money all at once. If you're willing, I want to pay you in installments."
Granny Xu didn't understand. "Instalments?"
"Yes," Zhu Suisui nodded and explained, "Two hundred yuan, two yuan a month, and it will be almost all paid off in ten years."
In fact, this principle is the same as pension.
Zhu Suisui had heard many stories of unfilial behavior in his previous life, and he figured out a truth from them.
As long as the elderly have a pension, their children have to be nice to them in order to get the pension.
This time she bought this bamboo tube, intending to use her pension.
Seeing that Granny Xu still didn't understand, Zhu Suisui broke down the logic and explained it to Granny Xu.
If she was given 200 yuan at once, her two children would only be nice to her temporarily. Some of them might even be mean-spirited and wish that Grandma Xu would die sooner.
After they die, they can divide the money.
This would not be good for Granny Xu.
But if you can get it every month, it will be different. In order to keep getting it, both sides have to bless your mother's health.
In this way, life can be better.
After hearing this, Grandma Xu understood that Zhu Suisui was truly planning this for her.
I have been listening to Lu Lanxu.
At this time, a very important question was asked, "What if Grandma Xu can't get ten years?"
This is very realistic and straightforward.
If she can't get the money in ten years, and if she can get the remaining money all at once, her two sons will wish she died sooner.
Zhu Suisui hadn't thought about this at first, but when Lu Lanxu asked him about it, he realized that he had not considered it carefully enough.
She frowned slightly and began to think seriously.
Seeing her like this, Lu Lanxu said, "Then we can't continue to give this money. The remaining money can be donated to the village or the government. Anyway, we can't continue to give it. And this money is not a big amount for the village, so they definitely won't think of keeping it all for themselves."
Even if you have this thought.
Lu Lanxu will also dispel it.
Hearing this.
Zhu Suisui's eyes lit up.
She nodded repeatedly and said, "You are right. If I can't get it for ten years, I will donate all the remaining money."
The two of them discussed it.
But he made all the arrangements for Grandma Xu very clear.
Granny Xu glanced at the two of them and knew that they sincerely wanted to help her.
She was a little tempted, but she also felt that she was very heartless to sell a broken bamboo tube at such a high price.
Granny Xu thought about it, then gritted her teeth and said, "I can sell it to you, but you should be more selective. I'm really worried about selling a bamboo tube for two hundred yuan."
She didn't care what Zhu Suisui said.
He went into the house and rummaged through the drawers.
Zhu Suisui really couldn't hold back at all, she looked at Lu Lanxu helplessly.
"Grandma just doesn't want to owe anyone anything."
Lu Lanxu comforted her, "Why don't you just wait and see, maybe there will be something good. If there is, do you plan to take it all for 200 yuan, or what?"
Zhu Suisui thought for a moment and said, "If it's not something good, we can just say it is and pick one to reassure grandma. If it's really something good, I think we should use the money to repair grandma's house so that it won't collapse."
"Whether she will live with her sons in the future or not, I think she will not be as comfortable living alone. As long as the two sons can be more filial and pay more attention to grandma, I think it may be better."
Lu Lanxu looked at her without saying anything.
Zhu Suisui didn't get a reply, so she naturally felt strange. She looked up and saw the other person's deep eyes staring at her, which made her feel confused.
She couldn't help but frown, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Her little face was stern, yet particularly lively.
Lu Lanxu smiled and said, "Nothing much. I just feel like I understand Sui Sui a little better."
Zhu Suisui rolled her eyes in an unladylike manner, "What's wrong with you?"
While the two were chatting, Granny Xu came out with a bunch of random things.
Zhu Suisui looked around and found nothing valuable.
I probably know in my heart that it is not easy to come across one bamboo tube, let alone a bunch of them.
However, seeing Grandma Xu's hopeful eyes, Zhu Suisui picked a bamboo tube at random.
The bamboo tubes at the back are probably all handmade, and their exquisiteness is not at all comparable to the one Zhu Suisui wants to buy. However, Grandma Xu always thinks that she likes bamboo tubes, so she wants her to pick more.
Zhu Suisui said: "Quality is more valuable than quantity. These two are enough. Good things come in pairs."
Grandma Xu thought about it and agreed that this was the case.
After the three of them finished chatting, Zhu Suisui decided to visit the village chief's house.
This matter needs to be discussed with the village chief in person. It would be best if he were to come forward.
If Grandma Xu's two sons are still unwilling to support her, then Grandma Xu can live a good life with just two yuan a month.
After saying goodbye to Grandma Xu, Zhu Suisui took the bamboo tube and left.
She looked at the bamboo tube and couldn't help saying, "At first glance, this bamboo tube looked ugly, but now that I've looked at it for a long time, I think it's getting more and more interesting."
Lu Lanxu also took a closer look and nodded: "The carvings made by the ancients are different from those of us modern people. They actually have their own aesthetics. You think it is ugly at first glance because in the Chinese aesthetics, this kind of carving is called clumsy, simple and crude."
Modern carvings are indeed delicate and beautiful, but after looking at them for a long time, they seem to lack some flavor.
This is an aesthetic ability.
Obviously, Lu Lanxu possesses this kind of aesthetic, while Zhu Suisui is at the entry level.
After hearing this, Zhu Suisui looked at it more carefully.
The ghost eye is certainly useful, but why is it valuable? It is the path of learning for Zhu Suisui.
The two soon arrived at the village chief's house.
When the village chief heard that it was Lu Lanxu who came, he naturally entertained him warmly, and the village chief's wife went to bring up the best tea in the house.
I originally thought we were talking about Xu Rongrong.
Unexpectedly, we talked about Grandma Xu.
The village chief listened carefully, and after learning the needs, he immediately said: "Don't worry about this matter, I will definitely take care of it. To be honest, I have actually discussed this matter with them, but you also know that it is difficult for an honest official to judge family affairs..."
Lu Lanxu would naturally not spoil the show, "Now that I have come up with a solution, I will have to trouble you, the village chief, to take care of it."
Seeing such a high-ranking official speaking to him so humbly, the village chief naturally felt a great sense of accomplishment and was determined to get this matter done.
While we were chatting.
Someone rushed in.
