Chapter 95: Buying a House for My In-Laws
"No need. After we sell all the pigs next year, we will have enough to buy a house." The family could have used the money to buy a house, but who knew that Mao Jianxing actually used the money to buy piglets without telling her.
She was so angry that she ignored him for half a month. If he wasn't so domineering, she... humph, what a bastard.
"Don't be polite with mother. What belongs to me will be yours in the future." Li Yulan knew that her eldest daughter-in-law used to be very fussy, but now she has changed a lot.
But I was also afraid that she would feel uncomfortable.
"What is mother talking about? Just save your money and don't worry about Xiaohao. He will just start school one year later. It's not a big deal." All the children in the village start school at the age of seven or eight.
Li Yulan kept this in mind and didn't tell her much. However, when she lay in bed at night, she couldn't help but talk about it with the old man.
Mao's father also had a big change in his opinion of his eldest daughter-in-law: "Since she said no, then no, we just have to listen to the children." Mao's father didn't think as much as Li Yulan.
The children are grown up now, so just listen to them.
"You, do you really want to retire?" Li Yulan was so angry when she heard this.
"Yingzi doesn't have any ideas now, but the second brother and Qianqian are not content either. When the distance between the two families increases in the future, you will definitely feel that the eldest brother has no objections." She has seen a lot.
The wall between brothers is not made of iron. Once it is broken, it is worse than mud.
She is just taking precautions now.
"They brothers are not that kind of people." If that were true, the second brother would not ignore his eldest brother.
And the eldest brother will not be jealous of his younger brother.
"They won't, but what about the daughters-in-law? Do you think they won't have any ideas?" Li Yulan was really mad at this old man.
"Just listen to me. Come with me to the town someday to decide on the house. We have enough money to buy one anyway." She is not a stingy person.
I used to be more stingy, but in the end I was just being poor.
"It's up to you." Deep down, Mao's father didn't think his son was so shortsighted.
Li Yulan started to think about it.
An Qianqian also took action.
She didn't intend to hide this from her mother. After she told her, her mother started to persuade her.
It is said that brothers united in purpose can break any obstacle.
"Don't worry, Mom. I'm not that kind of person. We are all family. No matter who is better or worse, there will be no estrangement between us." She took her mother's advice to heart.
"It's good that you think this way. They help you support your parents-in-law in the village. You can't forget this kindness." Mother An looked at her daughter's expression and laughed when she saw that she really didn't mind.
"I'm afraid it won't work in the county town. Xiaohao is six years old this year, and it's time for him to go to primary school. Your sister-in-law Ken Wang won't send him to the county town. The primary schools in the town are pretty good."
She reminded.
An Qianqian thought about it and agreed, "Then I can buy houses in both the town and the county. It doesn't have to be too big. I have enough money." She calculated the money she had and it was enough to buy two small houses in the town and the county.
"It's good that you have a plan. This matter needs to be settled quickly, otherwise Xiaohao will start school in September." Although there is still more than half a year before school starts, we have to prepare in advance.
"Well, I'll ask Brother Jianwen to call Brother Guo in the evening." They couldn't go back, but they could still find someone they knew.
Both sides have their own plans.
Neither of them communicated with each other.
Fortunately, An Qianqian and her husband acted quickly.
When Guo Hai arrived at the Mao family with two houses, he heard their family members discussing buying a house.
"Is Aunt Li at home?" Guo Haizhen didn't mean to eavesdrop, he just listened accidentally.
"Who is it?" Mao Jianwenxing came out after hearing the voice. When he saw the person coming, he was surprised: "Why are you here?" He quickly opened the door.
"Come in."
No one expected Guo Hai's intention.
"Uncle and aunt, this is what Jianwen asked me to bring back for you two. The house is very nice. I helped to find a reference. If you have time, you'd better go and take a look."
He took out the property deed, on which was Li Yulan's name.
When he saw the two property deeds, Mao's father felt upset for once.
Fortunately, he is not a male chauvinist.
"Thank you, Haizi. How about this, tomorrow your aunt and uncle will go to the town with you. As for the county town, we will wait until Jianxing and the others are free before going together." Li Yulan said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll leave first. I'll call uncle and aunt tomorrow."
After Guo Hai left, the whole family sighed.
"Qianqian, she really has too much money and doesn't know where to spend it." Liu Ying was happy, but she was also worried.
She knew exactly how much money Qianqian had, and she was afraid that all the money she sent her was used to buy a house.
"Mom, we can't let Qianqian pay all the money." Liu Ying said seriously.
Li Yulan glanced at her and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was sincere: "Don't think too much. Since they bought it, they must have left some for themselves."
She couldn't refuse the children's filial piety.
If you are rejected once, it will be even more difficult to do things later.
"If you feel bad about it, then be nicer to Qianqian in the future."
Mao Jianxing and his father were reluctant to let go of the property deed.
Mao Jianxing actually felt a little embarrassed.
He understood why his younger brother and his friends did this, but he was even happier because his family now had a house in the city.
"Mom, I will go to town with you tomorrow." Mao Jianxing wanted to take a look.
As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Ying started to retort without waiting for Li Yulan to start scolding.
"Why are you going? Who will feed the pigs at home if you go? Don't expect me to help you. We agreed that you would raise the pigs and I would raise the chickens, and we wouldn't interfere with each other. Don't expect me to do all the work for you when you go out."
No one knows her man's character better than her.
Xiao Hao nestled in his grandfather's arms, looking at the book in front of him. He didn't understand, but he knew that they would have a home in the city in the future.
"Grandpa, Xiaohao wants to go."
"Okay, take Xiaohao with you."
Mao Jianxing wanted to refute his wife, but was scared away by his mother's look.
"If you don't want to go, then don't go. Why are you so fierce?" He spoke in such a weak tone.
"Mom, I'll go with you tomorrow to see if we need to decorate the house." After seeing the man showing weakness, Liu Ying immediately told her mother-in-law about her plan.
Li Yulan didn't think much about it and said, "Okay, let's go together tomorrow."
Mao Jianxing refused to do it: "Don't even think about it. I won't feed the chicken for you." He immediately jumped up to his feet.
Unfortunately, he couldn't jump better than his own wife.
"Okay, you don't have to feed me. Just spit out all the chicken you ate. Every time the chicken is killed, you eat the most, more than the children. As long as you spit it out, I will definitely not let you feed me."
Because all the pigs in the family are sold as live pigs, one by one, the family cannot keep the meat.
If you want to eat meat, you have to go to town to buy it.
Otherwise, we can wait until the Chinese New Year to kill one at home.
Liu Ying is very confident.
Mao Jianxing was speechless.
He lost.
