Chapter 172 Discussion
Xiao's father, who supported Xiao Chenye in building a big brick and tile house, was suppressed by Xiao's mother with just two soles of her shoes.
Xiao Chenye: “…”
No, Dad, your resistance is too weak, isn't it?
Xiao's mother smiled slightly, "Chen Ye, what did you just say you were going to build? I didn't hear it clearly, please say it again."
This is just short of having the word threat written on his face.
Xiao Chenye got scared, and stood behind Wen Ran, saying awkwardly, "Look at you, if you have something to say, just talk nicely, why are you in such a hurry?
Besides, what’s wrong with building big brick and tile houses? Our brigade has built quite a few in the past two or three years.”
"How much money do you have in your pocket? You're still building a house. Are you dreaming so much?"
"Mom, building a house doesn't cost much, and I've saved some money from driving a sports car over the years.
I know a lot of people, and if others buy bricks at one price, I will definitely buy bricks at another price!"
What?!
Can it be cheaper than others?!
Xiao's mother hesitated for a moment. Who wouldn't want to live in a nice house? The key is that the money didn't come from the wind.
Seeing that there was a chance, Xiao Chenye hurriedly nudged Wen Ran.
Wen Ran rolled his eyes at Xiao Chenye, "What for?"
"Please help me put in a few words. Isn't it nice for us to live in a big house with blue bricks and tiles?"
It does smell good, but this year is already 77 years old, and the college entrance examination will be resumed this year. There is still more than half a year left, so the necessity of building a house is questionable.
Instead of spending hundreds of dollars to build a house in the countryside, it is better to use the money to buy a house in Kyoto.
As long as you buy the house early, you’ll have enough for three generations to live on.
But when meeting Xiao Chenye's pleading eyes, Wen Ran actually...
Damn it.
The despicable man actually used his beauty to seduce her.
“Of course…”
Seeing that Wen Ran didn't stand by him, Xiao Chenye was worried about his plan to build a house.
I already have a veto power if Wen Ran doesn't stand on the same front with him.
Build a house?
Build a hammer.
With a roll of his eyes, Xiao Chenye began to play the victim, "You may not know, I want to build a house, on the one hand, I want to live better, on the other hand, it is also to fulfill a dream I had when I was a child."
Mother Xiao: “?”
She sneered, hugged her shoulders and started watching Xiao Chenye perform.
Wen Ran was indeed curious, "What dream?"
"When we divided the family property, it wasn't done in a very dignified way, and my parents were very upset."
When the family business was divided, Old Madam Xiao was indeed a cruel person. If she said she would not give anything, she really would not give it.
If Song Shilan hadn't been holding something in her hand, the whole family would have been left starving on the day of the separation.
"Over the years, my parents worked very hard to raise us brothers and sisters and build a house.
But after thirty years of ups and downs, I also want my parents to live a better life. Besides, my fourth uncle's family also said that our family is just a big beggar raising a few little beggars..."
As soon as these words came out, Wen Ran frowned, and Xiao's mother exploded.
"You bastard, when did this happen?"
Xiao's mother was so disappointed that she said, "They bullied you, and you didn't say anything? I, your mother, will go up and take care of Xiao Laosi's family!"
Xiao Chenye complained in his heart, he knew, of course he knew.
He is also a petty person, and if there are grudges that can be taken, he will basically take revenge on the spot.
I will only write down the things that cannot be reported in a small notebook.
For example, if this kind of thing really happened in Xiao Laosi's house, he would go to his mother to complain as soon as he was bullied, and throw dog shit on the top of the wall of their house.
But the problem is...
This never happened at all.
He's just making it up.
Of course, Xiao Laosi's family is not a good group of people. They have always been looking for trouble before. So what's wrong with putting the blame on him?
Reasonable, legal and compliant.
"Mom, sometimes, force can't solve all problems," Xiao Chenye complained, "Even if you beat him so hard that he doesn't say a word, he still won't accept it, and there's nothing you can do."
Xiao's mother knew that what he said made sense. Although she was harsh in her words, she was already beginning to feel guilty and short of breath.
"I don't care whether he obeys or not, as long as he doesn't spit shit out of his mouth, that's all."
"And our biased grandparents, father, and mother, don't you want them to see how prosperous our family is?"
Xiao's mother did want to.
People live their lives to the fullest, if not to the fullest.
"Can……"
"Don't worry about the money. I have a way. I haven't been hanging around in the outside world for nothing all these years."
The money he saved was more than enough to build ten brick and tile houses, let alone one.
"But we're getting married soon, and if our family shows off their wealth, it would be terrible if someone were to target us."
It's not popular nowadays. If you have a wealthy family, you don't have to show off. Instead, you just bury the meat in the bowl and eat it quietly.
It's too eye-catching. If it attracts a jealous monster, he might jump around and the whole family might be broken up.
Although Xiao's mother's worries were justified, Xiao Chenye had been thinking about it for so long, and it was not possible for his mother to completely put an end to his thoughts with just a few words.
"Mom, who told you to show off your wealth?" Xiao Chenye's eyes flashed with cunning, "It took our family a lot of effort to build this house."
Mother Xiao: “?”
Wen Ran understood Xiao Chenye's trick, "Aunt, I think Chenye's point is that we don't have to make our family's situation public.
For example, although this house was built by Xiao Chenye alone, we can say that it was everyone's money that was pooled together!"
Not to mention the savings of Xiao's father and mother over the years, Xiao Chenguang, as a battalion commander, receives a considerable monthly allowance.
In addition to Xiao Chenye's sports car, he earns dozens of yuan a month in the county transport team.
Mother Xiao's expression relaxed and she began to think seriously about it.
"Yeah, you know what, this really works."
Wen Ran smiled again and said, "As for my betrothal gift, why don't we just say we don't want to give it?"
Xiao's mother refused outright, "No, let's put things one way and the betrothal gift sometimes represents the face of our new daughter-in-law. If your in-laws don't give you a betrothal gift, these people in the brigade will look down on you in the future."
As for the reason... it's just giving it away!
Wen Ran didn't think it mattered, since Xiao Chenye's money was basically in her hands anyway.
"Well, let's give it to him, but let's not talk too much about it. We'll set the same amount as the brigade gives."
"That's fine."
The two of them said something each, and the matter was settled.
Turn your head.
Mother Xiao: “???”
Something is wrong. It's 100% wrong. Didn't we agree not to build a house with blue bricks and tiles?
On the other side, Father Xiao was already celebrating with Xiao Chenye.
Hehehe~
Build a new house~~~
