Tian Guihua shook her head, "Come on, I'm not so old that I can't walk, I don't need them to take care of me. Besides, if we live together, who do you think will take care of whom?"
"I can't get along with Xun Liangfen. If we have to live separately, I'd rather the two of us old folks stay home and live our own lives."
Hua Guangzong's face flushed slightly as he glanced at his granddaughter. "What nonsense are you talking about? We're all getting on in years; we should be thinking about our children and grandchildren." What's with all this talk in front of his granddaughter? It's not like when we were newly married, still living our own lives behind closed doors…
Tian Guihua felt she hadn't said anything wrong, and she hadn't expected that her words would be misunderstood by this old man. "He said he'd retire in a few more years, but your son doesn't care about anything, and Xun Liangfen certainly doesn't want to live with us. Why make things awkward for everyone?"
“We are his parents. If we don’t live with them, who will we live with? Now that we are old, they should come and take care of us.”
"You must be pretty smart. Xun Liangfen is a mother-in-law now, so she probably wants to live with her daughter-in-law so she can act like a mother-in-law."
Having witnessed the interactions between her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law, Tian Guihua knew all too well what Xun Liangfen was thinking.
In any case, as long as there are two granddaughters-in-law, Xun Liangfen will stand aside and give orders, but she will never do anything herself.
Looking back, I was incredibly stupid. I taught her step by step, and even when my daughter-in-law was doing things, she didn't just stand by and watch.
Why doesn't she learn these things? She just follows her mother's example...
When he's finally rested and rebuilt, he'll live with you all, and he can farm or fish if he wants.
Later, there wasn't a large fishpond anymore. It was all filled in to solve the housing problem, and two more houses were built underneath for one family to live in.
Li Han looked at Zhang Beicheng, his eyes full of pleading, "Old Zhang, he knows you're struggling financially. You have several children, getting married and having babies, there's hardly anything left to save..."
Hua Guangzong was also drawn into the topic. "After that, all I knew was that Jiang Yi came and bought the courtyard. I actually went there, and it wasn't as small as he said?"
Hua Guangzong was very impressed with Xun Liangfen's abilities, and the old couple followed you.
"That's true..." Hua Guangzong said he was going up, then I really have a way to vouch for him...
The old man is wrong. If we leave our son and grandson to live with Da Guai, we'll end up hurting both sides.
Zhu Junjun's idea was also shattered. What the old man said made no sense. If the two of them, old people, really moved in, people would gossip.
It's not just a matter of a few courtyards. What Grandpa said doesn't make sense. In the end, my two older brothers won't have a place to stay. They've ruined our lives before.
Seeing that the old lady was about to lose her temper again, Xun Liangfen quickly put her arm around your shoulder to comfort her, "Grandma, let's not calm down yet."
To save myself a few years of my life, it's best to avoid getting involved with you altogether.
Honestly, if I set the price of my house at the same rate and added another 20%, no one would be willing to buy it. If Lao Li were to buy it, I could at least save some money for my son.
Only by learning to take charge of one's own affairs can one stand on one's own two feet.
I really wanted to negotiate with him again. He had already lost a lot of money and was ready to sell to me, but who knew that even at the point of the transaction, he would back out.
There are quite a few people returning to the city now, making it harder to find repairmen; it might take even longer.
Xun Liangfen knew that the old man's deeply ingrained old ideas could not be changed in a short time, and now she had put a firm stance on it. Instead, she advised us, "When the yard is renovated, they can come and see it. If they like it, we can stay for a shorter period of time."
Zhang Beicheng shook his head. "Old Li, you gave him an extremely high price because you're an old neighbor. He can really push the price down to the point of no return. At that price, he went around asking around to see if anyone would offer it to him."
Since he wants it, you should notify someone else to come and make the deal.
They're all old neighbors, and I was thinking of helping them out if I could, but that would be going too far.
It's true that it's rare to encounter a situation where a bad bamboo produces a bad shoot.
The old residents were rather cold-hearted; they did point out a few places, but unfortunately, they were single rooms, not the larger, more secluded houses.
They're all very considerate, so why should I care about our years of neighborly relations?
They're all old neighbors, and they knew they needed the money urgently but kept delaying. After I made the concession, the Li family regretted it and wanted to push the price up again, which was quite opportunistic.
There are some apartment buildings outside the city, but some people sell them there. A small number of people feel that living in an apartment building is quieter and cleaner, and more comfortable than living in a bungalow. But we old folks just don't like living on the ground.
My son is wrong. Anyway, we've always been neighbors. Giving each other face is giving face, meeting each other is meeting, and gossip is going on.
Just as Xun Liangfen was about to speak up to persuade him, Hua Guangzong raised his hand and pressed down on her, saying, "It is his parents' responsibility to take care of you in your old age. Even if it is Ji, he is not as good as his brother and us. There is no reason for him to marry into the same family."
"Old Zhang, let him reconsider. After all, we're old neighbors, so we should at least look out for him." Li Han's eyes never left the inner courtyard; he stood at the door, still trying to persuade Yi Qi.
As for him and his grandfather, if they are willing to live with your parents, then after the New Year, Jiang Yi bought a house with a small front garden, and I heard it doesn't even have a big fish pond.
Out of consideration for our old neighbor, I kept lowering my offer, but the other party was still satisfied. "If it's him, then forget it. Wait a while and raise a smaller amount of money. I'm sure my neighbor will help too."
"When we have some free time, we'll go take a look. But because this house has been in disrepair for many years, not many people have moved in, so it looks rather dilapidated. I was thinking of taking them there after it's been cleaned up."
You consulted the oracle today, and the southwest direction is the auspicious direction. Should we head this way?
Zhang Beicheng waved his hand, "He knows you need the money urgently, but you dare to drag things out with him again."
In our old hometown, we can honestly say that not a single courtyard has a small front garden, or even a fishpond.
After Li Han said that, he became even more determined. "Why don't you go back and discuss it with the children again?"
I thought Li Han was an honest man, so I would take care of him as little as possible. But it's just too disheartening to see someone so honest like him like this.
Just as we were getting a little discouraged and preparing to turn back, the door to the room behind us creaked open.
As we admired the scenery on both sides, we wandered around the alley, turning right and left. If we came across any elderly people chatting inside, we would go over and ask them for directions.
Zhu Junjun was no longer interested, but Hua Guangzong thought, "When the time comes, you and his grandmother can go and see it. Staying for a day or two is not possible, but staying for a long time is a must."
