Chapter 71 Second Sister is Here
Shi Wenya had decided to sell the house, but she felt that it was not a good idea to continue like this, as there was a lot of time in the future. Rather than being unable to distinguish and making a mess in the end, it would be better to sell the house now and then divide the money.
At least when it comes to money, she doesn't want to keep feeling resentful.
As for the child, he will grow up, and one day, he will live his own life and will not be tied to his parents all his life.
But when everyone really sat down together to discuss selling the house, the other party agreed without saying anything.
Shi Wenya still felt a little disappointed.
Perhaps seeing what Shi Wenya was thinking, Yu Abao felt a little embarrassed and spoke a few words to make excuses for himself.
"Wenya, we have actually thought about the house these days. We have no objection to giving the house to Chengcheng, but Weiye also paid part of the money for the house. If he gets married again, he will have nowhere to live. As parents, we can't stand it. We can ignore him when he does stupid things, but he has to have a place to live. Renting a house outside will cost money... And the same goes for you. Renting a house is not a long-term thing. It's better to sell the house and buy two smaller ones. You will have your own place when you find another one, which will give you confidence."
Shi Wenya understood.
When her former parents-in-law saw that their son had found a new partner, they thought that if she found another one, they would be complete outsiders.
A married daughter belongs to someone else's family, let alone a married ex-daughter-in-law.
They were also afraid that she would bring someone with her and say she wanted to move back.
The scene of former couples, each bringing their partners to live under the same roof, is exciting to think about.
Since both parties have reached a consensus, there is nothing more to say, and Shi Wenya did not fight for the custody of her son.
She has to go to work and has no time to take care of the children. Although her parents can help, her brother and sister-in-law are still there and they can't come to the county to take care of her.
Shi Wenya didn't want to offend that person. Her sister-in-law, as Pu Xiang said, was not a clear-headed person. She saw that she was making money to buy a house, but she didn't want to go out and find a job to earn money with her. She said some sour things, so she gave up the idea of getting close to her.
The son stayed with Shi Weiye. No matter how bad Shi Weiye was, the child's grandmother always felt sorry for her grandson.
Unless Shi Weiye gives birth to another son.
But it will take some time, and if it doesn’t work, I’ll take the child back to my side and think of another way.
For children who are already in school and are not infants, arrangements can always be made.
Shi Wenya also asked her son for his opinion, and Shi Chengcheng said that he wanted to be with his grandparents, and if not with his grandparents, then with his mother.
Anyway, after the New Year's Eve, Shi Chengcheng suddenly became a lot more sensible.
His feelings towards his father also faded all of a sudden.
The house sold very quickly because they bought it early and the floor was good. As soon as they announced it was for sale, people came to see the house.
The decoration in the house is all new and not bad, so the buyer can basically move in with just their luggage.
So the deal was done quickly.
The price of the house had increased a bit compared to when she bought it before, and after selling it and dividing the money, Shi Wenya didn't suffer any loss.
She had already made up her mind to buy a house. After selling the house and taking the money, she went to look for houses.
Pu Xiang went with her.
Shi Wenya meant that she would not buy a house in this neighborhood next time, because it would not be pleasant to live next to Shi Weiye's family.
Pu Xiang pushed her and said, "Are you stupid? Why don't you buy this residential complex? When we were looking at this residential complex, wasn't it because of its good location? Wouldn't it be possible to sell it at a high price in the future? You are changing places now, from a good one to a bad one? That doesn't make sense. Besides, if you buy this one, do you think Shi Weiye and his family will buy this one again?"
Shi Wenya did not lose money by selling the house because the house price had increased. However, if the house price had increased, wouldn’t that also mean that buying another house would be more expensive?
Shi Weiye's family may not have the money, nor be willing to spend it, to buy a new house.
Pu Xiang gave her the final blow: "Even if you really bought it together, so what? You bought it with your own money, it's above board."
As for Shi Weiye's family, although they have their own little plans, they are not a brutal and cruel family after all.
After the divorce, the house was divided, and no matter how life went in the future, there was no chance that their family would cause trouble at their house.
Furthermore, Pu Xiang is confident that as they focus on their careers now, they will definitely be able to buy a second house in the future.
After being persuaded by Pu Xiang, Shi Wenya found that it made sense.
When it came to buying a house, she listened to Pu Xiang and bought a large house with two bedrooms and two living rooms.
"If you don't have enough money, I'll lend you some first, or you can take out a loan. Think about the price of the house you bought then and the price now. Can you make more money than the price of the house is rising?"
That is definitely not a win.
Shi Wenya gritted her teeth and decided to listen to Pu Xiang and buy a large set.
At worst, she can just not renovate the house, connect water and electricity and live in the bare house. Even if the bare house is ugly, isn't it much better than the bungalows or mud houses in the village?
Shi Wenya made up her mind and quickly bought a house of more than 100 square meters. The only difference was that the floor was not as good as the first time she bought it, as it was on the fifth floor.
The floor is a bit high.
However, high floors also have their advantages. In winter, the sunlight is better and there is no obstruction.
Shi Wenya, who bought a house, owed more than 20,000 yuan in foreign debt. She was so stressed that she had no time to pay attention to Shi Weiye's family or to be sad.
However, when Shi Weiye's family finally decided to buy a house, Yu Abao still came to talk to Shi Wenya.
As her eldest grandson's biological mother, she always had to tell them where they lived.
Of course, in addition to saying this, Yu Abao also noticed Shi Wenya's purchase of a house.
What a nice and capable daughter-in-law this is!
When she looked at the one her son brought back, she felt even more disgusted.
Yu Abao later heard from his son that the woman worked as a waitress in a foot massage parlor.
She is a poor person. Life in her hometown was too hard, so she was tricked by her fellow villagers into coming here to work. But it turned out that the people there were not doing serious business. She didn't want to do that kind of work, so she just worked as a waitress, but she couldn't make any money.
Moreover, these people spread the word in her hometown that she was doing an improper job. Now she can't go back to her hometown, so she wants to find an honest man here to live a good life.
Yu Abao spit out his saliva when he heard this.
Who can believe such nonsense?
But their son just believed it. It was obvious that he was bewitched by that woman. Yu Abao and his wife could do nothing about it.
You've scolded him and beaten him, but you can't really kick him out. What if this stupid boy is kidnapped and taken to another place?
It's a mess outside now.
After all, he is their biological son, and it is impossible for Yu Abao and his wife to really not care about their son.
In the end, I just had to accept it.
At least the daughter-in-law will not divorce her son just because he goes out to wash his feet.
The old couple Yu Abao hoped that they could live a peaceful life from now on. However, their life has not been peaceful since they bought the house.
They made some money from selling the house, but they found that it was not enough to buy another house and they had to put in a lot more money.
What the old couple meant was that if they didn’t have enough money, they could just buy a smaller one so that everyone could squeeze in. They really couldn’t afford it.
But Shi Weiye's new girlfriend disagreed.
She felt that the house was too small for her family of five. If she had another child, how would six people fit in?
After a lot of fuss, the old couple finally compromised.
It's also a practical problem. It's okay now that the child is young, but when the child grows up, he or she will have to sleep in a separate room, and it will definitely not be enough in a small place.
They chose for a long time and finally moved from Taoyuanli community to an old community on the edge of the county town.
It is not a commercial housing, but a housing estate for employees and their families of a state-owned factory.
It's an old house.
Shi Weiye and his family didn't understand that there was no property certificate for the house, only a sales contract, and the difference between the two.
It sounded cheap, and since it was in the county anyway, I decided to buy it.
It was several days later that Pu Xiang heard the news from Shi Wenya.
This is really a smart person doing a stupid thing, and it is rare.
Shi Wenya whispered, "In fact, I think Cheng Cheng's grandmother meant that they bought this house on purpose. This house has no title deed, so that the woman's idea of adding her name to the title deed is eliminated. My parents-in-law are very smart."
After hearing this reason, Pu Xiang didn't know what to say.
“…It’s quite smart.”
But she said that one must know how to do the math, and if one fails to discipline a son like Shi Weiye, the biggest loss will be incurred.
There will be a lot of things to do in the future.
Pu Xiang is now particularly grateful that Shi Wenya is clear-headed about this matter and has clearly separated himself from this family.
After Shi Wenya got the house, she connected the water and electricity, installed faucets and a flush toilet, hung some curtains and door and window cloths, and moved in.
When her parents came and saw the situation, they were so heartbroken. They had a good family and their life was good, but it turned out like this.
But Shi Wenya was not panicked at all and moved in happily.
"It's only been a few years. I can make it from the village to the county town. What's there to be afraid of? I'll pretend to be rich in a few years."
After she said this, her parents calmed down.
Yes, now that my daughter is successful and can earn money, it will only take a few years.
No matter how hard life is, can it be as hard as the life in the village before?
However, before leaving, Shi Wenya's parents still gave her a red envelope of 2,000 yuan.
"Stay by my side in case of emergency."
Shi Wenya's eyes were red again. She felt that she was still very lucky.
Because of this incident, Shi Wenya's sister-in-law's attitude towards her became better. Look, she fell from "heaven" and her life is so miserable now. As a sister-in-law, she must be nicer to her sister-in-law.
No matter what, we are still a family.
Shi Wenya, on the other hand, was totally oblivious to this. They didn't live together anyway and saw each other seldom. Whether the other person smiled at her or gave her a cold face, it had no effect on her. She didn't rely on anyone to make a living anyway.
…
Pu Xiang, Mo Yang and Mo Jingjing went to their own store and Mo Yang's factory on the fifth day of the New Year to set off firecrackers, hoping that the year would be prosperous and peaceful.
Wishing for good luck.
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Puxiang officially opened for business.
It was only from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., so she closed the stall early. She gave a red envelope to the employees who came to work, and doubled their wages until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Several young girls were extremely happy.
Not all workers work like beasts of burden for the money.
Pu Xiang has decades of experience and is very clear about this. The things she gives to everyone during the Chinese New Year are all practical, including red envelopes and dried goods from her sister-in-law.
She gave her sister-in-law a suggestion and asked her to order a batch of beautiful packaging boxes to make into gift boxes for the New Year.
They are all similar items, but once they are matched together and put into a classy-looking box, they can be given out as New Year gifts.
My sister-in-law was the first to start it, so naturally the business was booming. But when others followed suit and came over, it was too late.
By the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when visiting relatives and friends had basically ended and everyone else had officially started working, my sister-in-law Yu Gaozhu finally breathed a sigh of relief and was able to rest for a few days.
During the Lantern Festival, a day for families to get together, Pu Xiang's parents specially came out of the village to celebrate the festival with their son and his family in the city.
I don’t know if it was because of the festive occasion or what, but Pu Fen also came with her daughter, saying that she wanted to visit her brother and sister-in-law.
I don't know exactly what it is.
In the afternoon, Yu Gaozhu accompanied her, Li Xiaocao, and their three children to Puxiang's store.
Only then did Pu Xiang realize that her second sister was visiting her sister-in-law's house.
