Chapter 29 Buying a House
Liu Juan slapped him on the shoulder, "Your injury hasn't healed yet, why are you making such a big move?"
Su Guishan lay back down feeling aggrieved.
Su Zi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Uncle Su and a few others also laughed. For a moment, the ward was filled with laughter, which dispelled the haze that had lingered in everyone's hearts for these days.
After Uncle Su and his family left, Su Zi said to his parents in a serious tone, "Dad, Mom, I want to demolish our house and rebuild it. I've also bought a new house in the city. You can live in the city while the house is being built."
She has already asked, and her parents are reluctant to leave their hometown. Firstly, they feel that they are uneducated and would not be able to adapt to the big city. Secondly, they do not want to delay her and become a burden to her.
Ever since her father was out of danger, her mother has been thinking about the chickens, ducks and geese at home, or the vegetables in the fields, or talking about planting autumn vegetables and drying them.
Her father has also been thinking about repairing the yard and digging drainage ditches.
She mentioned many times that she wanted to take them to settle down in Southern Province. They were against it at first, but after hearing this, they became quiet. They didn't say they didn't want to, but they didn't say they were willing either.
Su Zi understood that they were used to living here, surrounded by people they were close to, and all their relatives and friends were here, so they were reluctant to leave and go to a place where they didn't know anyone.
You don’t have to worry about making a living. You can just grow vegetables and go fishing at home. This kind of life is also very free and comfortable.
They have been working hard for their daughter for the past 20 years, and now it is time for them to stop and enjoy life.
Therefore, after Su Zi figured it out, he did not force them to go to South Province with him. He had only one request, which was to make their current quality of life better.
The house has been built for many years, and sometimes it leaks when it rains heavily, and water seeps in from the ditch behind it.
Her mother always wanted to have a spacious yard to dry quilts and vegetables.
His father likes to play chess and cards with others, so building a grape trellis would be more appropriate.
The house was demolished and rebuilt according to their preferences.
She also had to buy a house in the city. She didn't know how long this adventure would last. If it disappeared one day in the future, at least she would have real estate as a guarantee.
Liu Juan and Su Guishan looked at each other. Liu Juan took Su Zi's hand and patted it lightly with satisfaction before saying, "Don't push it. Just rebuild and renovate it. How much will it cost to rebuild a house? Don't think about spending money lavishly now that you have earned money. There will be many places to spend money in the future."
"I can earn money even if I lose it. Besides, our house is renovated, so it's better to rebuild it. Our bathroom doesn't run when we take a shower in winter. We have to boil water every time we take a shower."
"Also, the foundation of this house was not laid properly before. It always leaks during the rainy season. Living in it, it feels like a layer of mist is covering the body. It is extremely uncomfortable."
"There's also the open space in front of our house. People always park their cars there. They won't listen no matter what you say, and they just bully you and my dad because you're not nice to them. It's inconvenient for us to go in and out. Mom, if you want to dry something, you have to borrow my uncle's yard."
"The piece of land in front of the door belongs to us. Just fence it off and build a bigger yard so you can sunbathe however you want."
"Build a canopy in the yard, and then put up a grape trellis. In the summer, you and my dad can eat under the canopy, or bring a few friends to play chess or cards at home. Wouldn't that be very fun?"
"Besides, I earn money for you. You supported me before, but now it's my turn to support you. Just listen to me on this matter. When my dad is discharged from the hospital, let's go and see the three-bedroom, one-living-room house I just bought. There's a small park downstairs. If you're interested in square dancing, you can go and learn it."
"Oh, I can't argue with you. If you say to rebuild, then rebuild. But don't make it too big. If the house is too big, it will be difficult to clean." Although Liu Juan was complaining, her face showed relief and happiness.
Su Guishan saw his daughter's insistence and stopped opposing her. This was his daughter's filial piety, so they just took it.
"You can let your uncle and his family build the house. Your uncle has always been involved in building houses on construction sites. He knows it best."
Su Zi knew that her father wanted to take care of several uncles, so she didn't object, "Sure, I'll call uncle later."
"Finish the work soon. From now on, you can live in the city if you want, or in the countryside if you want. When my dad is fully recovered, I will sign you up for a tour group, and you two can travel all over the world."
"Okay, your dad and I will enjoy your blessings from now on. I see Xiao Song has been outside. He may have something to ask you. You should go and do it first. I am here for you."
Not long after Su Zi left, Liu Juan, who had a smile on her face, suddenly frowned and sighed softly.
"What's wrong?" Su Guishan asked.
Liu Juan shook her head first, then slowly smiled, with a bitter smile, "What they said on TV about the changing fortunes of time really makes sense. Didn't Uncle Su Zi often laugh at you? He said you didn't have a son to see you off to the grave."
"He called us yesterday to ask for money. My good nephew owed a lot of money from gambling outside, and he even mortgaged our house."
“He also filmed a video of his severed finger and sent it to my brother, saying that if my brother didn’t raise money to save him, those who put up the money would kill him.”
"My brother believed everything and borrowed money from all the relatives and friends around him. But my younger sister called and said that she didn't borrow money. When her daughter was short of money for school, my brother didn't lend money, and now she won't lend money. My brother has always been selfish and ran to my younger sister's house to curse at her."
"I didn't lend it to him, but he also called me heartless. You said he hasn't even come to see you since you were hospitalized. We have to rebuild our house, so I guess he'll still make trouble."
"If we raise a son like this, we might as well not raise him. Look at how much our daughter brings honor to us."
Su Guishan held Liu Juan's hand and said, "Yes, you gave me a good daughter. Don't be afraid. My brothers are not pushovers. They dare not come to our house to make trouble."
"He has offended all your maternal relatives for this son. No one will help him. Your parents left everything to this son. You and your sister have nothing."
"When they were sick, it was you two daughters who ran around and took care of them all night long. You have done a great job as a daughter. Just let your brother do what he wants. It doesn't matter if you lend a hand if he really starves to death."
Liu Juan leaned over and put her face on Su Guishan's arm, "Get well soon, Zi Zi said that we should go on a trip, I want to go to Yun Province."
Su Guishan touched her head with his other hand and said lovingly, "Okay."
On the other side, Song Lu was also telling Su Zi the same thing, "Your cousin was arrested. He broke into someone's house and pushed the old lady. The old lady died. The family had a surveillance camera installed at home, and your cousin's face was clearly captured."
