Chapter 257 I bought a house and put your name on it
Did his father really write this?
Why is Lin Qi the protagonist in both the will and the letter to him?
Xu Zhaoyuan didn't want to believe that his old father didn't miss him before he died. Every word he said was about his granddaughter-in-law. Why? In addition to telling him to treat Lin Qi well, didn't his father have anything else to say to his own son?
Xu Zhaoyuan read the letter and the will from beginning to end again. The words on the letter were definitely his father's, and the tone was also his father's...
So it is very likely that this was really written by his father.
"Does your grandfather blame me or resent me?" Xu Zhaoyuan asked.
Xu Hexiao looked at him strangely, "Grandpa, do you blame you or not? Didn't you tell me in the letter? Why are you asking me?"
"Didn't you read the letter?" Xu Zhaoyuan was surprised.
Xu Hexiao glanced at him indifferently, "What's so good about it? Grandpa has already told me what I should say."
"What did he tell you?"
"Taught me to listen to Qiqi and always be nice to her."
"Have you, grandfather and grandson, fallen under the spell of that Lin Qi?" Xu Zhaoyuan's tone was filled with anger. His biological father cared about a non-blood-related granddaughter-in-law instead of him until his death, and even asked him, the eldest son, to treat this granddaughter-in-law well. On what basis!
Xu Hexiao looked at the angry Xu Zhaoyuan and sneered, "It seems that grandpa left his property to Qiqi, which made you jealous. Did grandpa mention Qiqi in his letter? Judging from your angry look, it should be. But what right do you have to be angry? Without Lin Qi, your son, I, would have been thrown into the river of Anliang Brigade at the age of sixteen. And once I die, the seriously ill grandpa will not be able to survive and will follow me in less than two months. You don't even have the chance to see his will and letter."
"My grandfather and I hardly ever had a full meal all year round, and we never had a cold winter. We lived in a cowshed or a straw hut, and anything good would be stolen the next day. When I was sixteen, I was only 1.6 meters tall. My grandfather was so physically depleted from years of hunger and overwork that he could not be cured."
"Our situation changed when I was sixteen years old. Lin Qi came to the Anliang Brigade. She didn't despise me for being one of the five black categories or a bad element. She was the only one willing to talk to me. When others bullied me, she stood up to help me. When she came back from hunting in the mountains, she would always give me and grandpa some. She would also massage grandpa's body. Grandpa couldn't sleep all night because of the pain, but after she massaged him, he could sleep until dawn."
"Her position in the brigade was higher than Luo Feng's. That's why I was rewarded and was able to build a house. Grandpa didn't have to do heavy work and he could rest in bed in his last days without anyone gossiping about him."
"Later, when I was criticized and almost died, she helped me vent my anger and beat up those people. It was because of her that I was able to come to the capital, and even this house was bought because of her. It was also Qiqi's credit that the seven children were able to enter the special training camp..."
Xu Hexiao's eyes became colder and colder. "Qiqi doesn't care about our family's property. Grandpa is afraid that she won't want me, so he wants to give her all the property so that she won't abandon me for the sake of money. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can go to the underground to find Grandpa!"
Xu Zhaoyuan didn't respond. He didn't want property. He just wanted his father's care. At least he wanted to know that his father cared about him.
"Grandpa never thought that you were still alive. He left a will and a letter just because he was afraid that you would come back and steal his property."
“........”
Xu Zhaoyuan felt even more depressed.
The kitchen of the main house is very large, about 40 square meters, with four or five storage cabinets alone. One of the storage cabinets contains a large rectangular wooden table that can be disassembled. There are two places for stoves in the middle of the wooden table, which are specially used for hot pot. When it is not used, the table will be put away, so there is no need to worry about it taking up space.
At this time, Lin Qi and Zhao Shu were already sitting at the table. The soup in the clear soup pot and the spicy hot pot had already boiled, but neither of them moved their chopsticks.
Zhao Shu and Lin Qi were chatting about the store. "Now people from all over the city come to buy things from us. People line up early in the morning, and even when the things are sold out, many people still can't buy anything."
"Godfather, do you want to increase the quantity of the items?"
"It depends on you. If you are not under too much pressure, you can add some more."
"Aren't you tired?" Nowadays, the amount of goods transported every day has increased to several thousand kilograms. Since only my godfather is busy, he usually works until three or four in the afternoon. He works non-stop for seven or eight hours, which is a greater workload than in the machinery factory.
"Not tired." Zhao Shu said with a smile, "As long as I can make money, I won't feel tired no matter what."
Lin Qi also laughed, "You can never make enough money, but your health is more important."
"I'm in good health." Speaking of health, Zhao Shu looked at Lin Qi with eyes full of gratitude. "Since I've lived with you and eaten the food you grow every day, I have fewer white hairs and my old illnesses are gone."
That's because her ability has become stronger. Lin Qi thought to herself. If Grandpa Xu had met me now, I should have lived a few more years.
"The day before yesterday, I heard that someone wanted to sell a house facing the street. It was 300 square meters and was priced at 39,000 yuan. I bargained it down to 36,000 yuan. In the past two years, you paid me 100 yuan a month. I didn't have enough money for food, housing and household expenses, so I saved it all. At the end of the year, you gave me dividends, which I also saved. Together with my previous savings, it is enough to buy a house."
"I won't use your money, you can keep it for yourself. Thirty-six thousand is not expensive, I'll give you the money right away, you can buy it tomorrow." Lin Qi said as she was about to get up and go upstairs.
"No, I've already bought it. Your name is on the property."
“…”
"Then I'll return the money I paid for the house to you."
"I don't want it." Zhao Shu refused bluntly, "I can still make money, I don't need these."
"If you don't need it, I'll get it for you. You come into contact with a lot of people every day. If you see a house for sale and you think it's good, you can buy it. We have many children, so whether it's a store or a house, we can buy enough so that we can divide it up later."
"That's true. Okay, if you two trust me, I'll buy it."
"We naturally believe you."
Lin Qi went back to her room and got a passbook, and happened to run into Xu Hexiao and Xu Zhaoyuan who were coming out of the restaurant.
"What are you going to do with the passbook?" Xu Hexiao asked.
Lin Qi told Zhao Shu that he spent 36,000 yuan to buy a house but registered the house under her name.
A strange look flashed in Xu Zhaoyuan's eyes. His father wanted to leave the family property to Lin Qi, but this Zhao Shu bought a house and actually wrote Lin Qi's name on it. What was so special about Lin Qi?
Xu Hexiao raised his eyebrows, "Godfather wrote your name, not mine? He was the one who wanted to adopt me as his godson."
"Then I'll ask him to write your name when he buys the next one? I'll give him the passbook and tell him to buy the house he finds suitable."
"Go ahead. The kids are grown up now, so prepare some for them in advance. But you don't have to write my name on it, just yours will do. Did you take the passbook with the largest amount?"
"No, this one is 200,000."
"Then take 200,000 first. If it's not enough, you can take more later."
Xu Zhaoyuan: “…”
The tone is very much like that of a dandy boy.
His son could become such a dandy boy, which showed that he had no shortage of money. So, was this lack of money also because of Lin Qi?
Xu Hexiao didn't want to invite Xu Zhaoyuan to dinner, but Xu Zhaoyuan was thick-skinned. Even when Xu Hexiao asked him to leave, he didn't leave and followed Xu Hexiao to the kitchen.
Only three sets of bowls and chopsticks were prepared. Xu Zhaoyuan moved a chair and sat down by himself, then looked at Lin Qi with gentle and loving eyes.
Lin Qi: “….”
Lin Qi stood up silently and took a set of clean dishes and chopsticks.
"I brought a few cars from Hong Kong City, two of which were specially selected for you and Qiqi." Xu Zhaoyuan said.
"No, if we want a car, we will buy it ourselves." Xu Hexiao refused.
“You can’t buy it now.”
“………” He couldn’t refute it, so he stopped talking and ate.
"You can buy from me. We'll have someone write a sales contract when we get back. Two cars, one with a hundred-year-old ginseng."
When Lin Qi heard Xu Zhaoyuan bring up the topic again, her expression was blank. "I said there were no hundred-year-old ginsengs left, but he didn't believe me."
"Then sell it to him. Two hundred-year-old ginsengs for two cars, he won't lose." Some time ago, the old Chinese doctor also came to ask for a hundred-year-old ginseng. He used the previous one to save a dying patient. Originally, the old Chinese doctor was just trying to save the patient. Unexpectedly, the medicine he prepared was very effective and actually saved the patient. As soon as the patient woke up, the old Chinese doctor knocked on their door at night and offered twice the price this time. They said they didn't have a hundred-year-old ginseng, so they finally sold a fifty-year-old ginseng to the old Chinese doctor.
It's fair to exchange life-saving ginseng for a car.
When eating hotpot, drinking is a must.
"Would you like some mulberry wine?" Xu Hexiao asked Lin Qi and Zhao Shu.
"Mulberry wine is delicious and can help relieve greasiness." Zhao Shu had no dislike for any wine brewed by Lin Qi.
"I'd like some mulberry wine and some red wine." She likes both kinds of fruit wine and makes a lot of them.
"Okay, I'll get it." Xu Hexiao stood up.
The ignored Xu Zhaoyuan: "............"
Xu Hexiao returned, holding a wine jar in one hand. At the beginning of last year, Xu Hexiao drew a wine jar and went to a kiln factory to ask for help in making it. Because he wanted a large quantity, the kiln factory did not refuse his business. So now, their store uses their unique wine jars.
Xu Hexiao has good aesthetic taste. The wine jar is beautiful and elegant. Even if the wine is finished, there is no problem in using the wine bottle as a decoration.
"Let the wine sober up for a while, then we'll eat first."
After Xu Hexiao came back today, Lin Qi went to the vegetable market. She was lucky as she happened to see someone slaughtering a cow. She immediately bought 50 kilograms of beef, and almost all the beef tripe, beef stomach and other things were also bought by her.
In addition to beef, Lin Qi also killed a chicken and caught a fish and a few shrimps in the lotus pond. At first glance, the meat dishes on the table were quite rich. As for the green vegetables, there were more varieties. As long as the family wanted to eat it, no matter what season it was, Lin Qi could make it. In addition to the green vegetables, there were six or seven kinds of mushrooms on the table. Some mushrooms had been put into the soup, and the rich flavor made people drool.
Xu Zhaoyuan, who was originally in a depressed mood and had no appetite, couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
