I made an appointment with Luo Qiao to meet at the Luo family’s old house tomorrow.

In the evening, Luo Qiao received a call from Ji Lin, saying that she was living well in Boston. Before the school holiday, she would go there to attend classes when she had nothing to do and indeed learned a lot.

A few years ago, her mother flew over to be with her, and they agreed to return to China together after she gave birth. After the neighbors on both sides knew that she was Luo Qiao's friend, they took good care of her and asked them to say hello to her on their behalf.

Luo Qiao also asked her to say hello to Hannah's family and Aunt Mary's family, and said that they are welcome to visit China when they have time.

After hanging up the phone and picking up the book, Lu Yichen came out of the bathroom: "Have you finished the milk?"

Luo Qiao nodded: "I've finished drinking it."

Lu Yichen stretched out his hand: "Give me the cup, I'll help you rinse it."

He put the towel for drying his hair aside, took the cup and rinsed it, then helped Luo Qiao get a cup of hot water and put it on the bedside table before going to bed.

Luo Qiao turned her head and glanced at him: "Your hair isn't dry yet."

Lu Yichen stretched his half-wet head in front of Luo Qiao and said, "Wife, help me blow it."

Luo Qiao reached out and took out a hair dryer from the drawer below: "You are becoming more and more pretentious."

Lu Yichen laughed: "I'm only hypocritical with my wife."

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "You can't be so hypocritical with others. Stop scaring people."

Lu Yichen laughed, put his arm around Luo Qiao's neck, and pulled her down: "It's good enough for my wife to know my other side, I won't care about others."

After saying that, he kissed Luo Qiao on the face, then let go with a smile, put his head on Luo Qiao's legs, and let her toss her around.

He thought of something and started talking again: "After the New Year, let's go back to live in the family compound. The houses on both sides of the road are also going to be demolished. By then, cars won't be able to drive in, and it will be very noisy.

A few days ago, Uncle Rong told me that he and his wife wanted to go back to Changzhou for a while and have their tomb repaired in advance so that they can feel at ease.

Luo Qiao stopped what she was doing and said, "Why don't we let Qi Ling go back with us? I'm a little worried if we just let the old couple go back."

Lu Yichen said softly, "That's fine."

The next day, the family of seven had breakfast and went to the Luo family's old house.

As soon as the children come home, they go to play with their cousins. Now that they are older, they don’t need to be watched all the time.

Luo Jialin came over: "Qiaoqiao, let's go upstairs. I need to talk to you about something. Can you give me some advice?"

Luo Qiao followed Luo Jialin upstairs: "What's wrong, Sister Jialin?"

"Qiaoqiao, during the Chinese New Year, I went back to my mother-in-law's house for dinner, and my two sisters-in-law asked me to borrow money to buy a house. They asked for a lot of money, 30,000 yuan each."

"What do you mean by my brother-in-law?"

"He was drunk that day, and his two brothers coaxed him into a state of confusion. He promised that there would be no problem."

"So what does he think now that he's sober?"

"He said he would go back in a few days to explain everything clearly. What do you think of this?"

"Then why didn't you speak up and explain it to them at that time?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"I didn't even know he had agreed to the two uncles. I only found out about it when they mentioned it to me after we were already in the car when we were leaving."

"How can the two families buy a house together?"

"It's a collective housing project of the textile factory. The housing prices are much higher now than before. The factory also knows everyone's situation, so the payment is divided into three installments. Pay 30% first, and then pay another 30% when the main structure is completed. Finally, pay the balance when the keys are handed over."

After listening to this, Luo Qiao asked, "How big a house can they buy with their years of service? What is the price the factory is offering?"

Luo Jialin replied: "Both houses are 70 square meters. Apart from the factory subsidy, each square meter is charged at 1,500 yuan."

Luo Qiao said calmly: "You are being taken advantage of. Thirty percent of a 70-square-meter house is 31,500 yuan, which means each family only has 1,500 yuan. They have to pay for the main structure. Do they still need to borrow from you?"

Luo Jialin heard this and said angrily, "Yes, your brother-in-law and I said the same thing."
