When we got home, Aunt Rong and Uncle Rong had already washed the vegetables and cut the meat, preparing to have hotpot in the evening. This was what they had agreed on when we left in the morning.
As Aunt Rong washed the children's hands, she said, "Your cousin-in-law Jiaming came and took the tiger bone wine."
Luo Qiao stood aside and wiped the hands of the children: "Okay, I understand."
Aunt Rong looked up at Luo Qiao, hesitated for a moment, and said, "He said that if possible, you can go see your uncle and aunt."
Luo Qiao was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything.
She didn't want to go there. Even though they were elders, they used their status as elders to bully others time and time again, which really made her feel uncomfortable and disgusted.
No matter what their reasons are, the elders should keep their promises instead of coaxing them like children again and again without considering the wishes of the younger ones.
Aunt Rong was afraid that the children would get angry after eating hot pot, so she prepared some lean meat and vegetable porridge for them. She brought it to them first: "Eat the porridge first, and then eat a little meatballs from the hot pot later. It's just to satisfy your craving, but it can't be your main meal."
While eating, Aunt Rong said casually, "The Cheng family next door wants to sell their house?"
Luo Qiao swallowed the meat in her mouth and asked: "Who told you that?"
Aunt Rong just cut up a meatball for Xiao Yezi beside her and prepared to feed him: "Someone came to see the house today and complained that the price was too high. I heard them bargaining at the gate. Later, the daughter-in-law of the Sun family next door came back and chatted for a while, and also said that the Cheng family wanted to sell the house."
Luo Qiao looked at Lu Yichen: "Do you know the situation?"
Lu Yichen helped Luo Qiao pick up her favorite duck blood and mushrooms: "The second son of the Cheng family was instigated by others and quit his job to engage in transportation. He used all the family savings and borrowed part of it from relatives to buy a truck.
I took a long trip a few days ago, and on the way back, I crashed into a small van in front of me, probably because I was driving tired. The person sitting in the back seat was seriously injured and is still in the hospital. "
Aunt Rong patted her heart and said, "Be careful next time. Don't drive when you are sleepy. Find a place to rest for a while. It won't waste much time."
Luo Qiao thought for a moment and said, "What's the current price of their house? If it's suitable, we can buy it or rent it out, and save some fixed assets."
Lu Yichen looked at Luo Qiao with a smile on his face: "Okay, I'll get someone to do it."
How could he not know what the little woman was thinking? In fact, he had the same idea. After all, he had many children, so it would always be a good idea to have more houses.
However, what he didn't know was that his wife had already hoarded a lot of houses, but those houses were all handed over to Xu Shifan to manage, and now they are all collecting rent.
All the houses have been renovated in advance, so the rent is really not cheap. The lease contract clearly states that the houses cannot be modified without permission and the rooms must be kept clean. Once any violation is found, the house will be taken back immediately and compensation for the loss will be paid.
So in order to avoid trouble, Xu Shifan was particularly picky about his tenants, and the house has indeed been well protected over the years.
In fact, it’s not that I haven’t mentioned the house to Lu Yichen, but he didn’t know that his wife actually had so many houses.
In the morning, Luo Qiao let the children play in the children's playground in the backyard while she helped Aunt Rong make dumplings in the kitchen.
Around noon, Lu Yichen came back and handed Luo Qiao a property deed with a smile.
Luo Qiao took it, smiled and opened it to take a look. It turned out that the house next door belonged to the Cheng family and the owner had changed. Luo Qiao's name was written on the property certificate. Luo Qiao happily stood on tiptoe and kissed Lu Yichen on the cheek: "Thank you, Brother Chen."
Lu Yichen smiled and hugged the man: "As long as you are happy, and someone will move in tomorrow, so for the time being, no one will know that this house is ours."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Luo Qiao nodded: "Okay, Brother Chen, just do whatever you want."
Lu Yichen saw that Luo Qiao had a smile on her face all the time and asked, "Do you like buying houses so much?"
Luo Qiao closed the property deed and said, "Haven't you seen that the housing prices in Beijing have been rising rapidly in recent years? Hoarding houses is more reassuring than investing in other things."
