Only after experiencing it did they realize that those former friends were just drinking buddies; the ones who really helped them were friends their parents hadn't contacted for more than ten years.
"Everything is in the past, let's not talk about it anymore; are you coming back to stay temporarily this time?" Constantly mentioning the favor of help will not make either party feel comfortable; on the contrary, it will make people remember it every time it is mentioned. In this case, there are few people who do not have different emotions.
The true way to remember a favor is not by saying it, but by doing it.
Su Yunhui saw through this, so she was able to be open-minded. When she helped them, she didn't think about anything in return.
Mother Xun smiled and said, "We're not leaving. We plan to settle down in Shangjing. Now that the whole family is back, we'll move in once we find a suitable house. We came to visit today and wanted to ask for your help in finding a good house. We haven't been back for many years and are unfamiliar with Shangjing. I have to be so shameless as to bother you."
"It's just a house! What kind of house do you want to buy?" Su Yunhui looked them over and said, "You've seen it since you came back. Houses in China can't compare to those abroad. That's the situation. If you want to buy a Western-style house, that's impossible."
"We know that, so we want to buy a courtyard house. A courtyard house is comfortable to live in, spacious and down-to-earth." Xun's mother turned her head and glanced at the old man and old lady of the Xun family. The two of them came from poor backgrounds; they made their money through hard work, and they were able to make a comeback after going abroad.
Now, they believe in their country more.
Old Master Cao nodded and softened his tone towards the Xun family. "Siheyuan houses are comfortable to live in, especially spacious and elegant ones. You have good taste. Foreign buildings are nowhere near as comfortable as the siheyuan houses passed down by our ancestors. When buying a siheyuan, it's best to buy one with two or three courtyards. Buying too small will cause trouble later."
"Uncle Cao is right. We thought so too." Xun Qi said with a smile, "It would be even better if there were four entrances. We don't have many people in our family, and we might need them in the future."
"It's better to buy a bigger one." After saying this, Mr. Cao didn't speak again until they left.
After the Xun family left, Su Yunhui asked, "Dad, don't you like the Xun family?"
"It's not a matter of liking or disliking someone. How much can you dislike someone you just met for the first time? Don't overthink it." Old Master Cao waved his hand. "But, as the head of the Cao family, I have something to remind you."
"Dad, you talk, I listen."
Old Master Cao nodded slightly. "The Xun family has their own ideas. We can help with the house, but forget about anything else. We in the Cao family don't marry into other families. It hasn't been easy for the Cao family to get to where we are today. It's all thanks to the men in the family who have walked on the edge of a knife step by step."
Su Yunhui was stunned for a moment, but the old man was such a smart man. Since she married into the family, she had never heard him say anything without a purpose. In that case, she would just reject the blind date with the Xun family.
"Dad, I know what to do, don't worry. Our Cao family hasn't reached the stage of marriage yet. The Xun family previously wanted to marry their daughter to our family. I think that the Xun family has been abroad for a long time and has seen a lot, so their daughter must be good. So I agreed to it, without any other intentions."
"I know you know how to act." Old Master Cao was quite satisfied with the answer. "The Xun family wants to return to their country and settle down. I'll help with some small matters if I can; but you can't get involved with the Xun family."
Does that mean she should cut off ties with the Xun family?
Su Yunhui was full of confusion. "Dad, what do you mean? Is there something wrong with the Xun family?"
"Yes and no." Old Master Cao sighed softly, stood up, and walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, saying slowly, "You may not have noticed when you spoke, but Xun Huan of the Xun family is not a good match. My grandson cannot be involved in this. No one is right."
His grandsons may not be particularly promising, but they are definitely well-behaved and well-behaved.
"Huanhuan?" Su Yunhui was even more confused and asked uncertainly, "She didn't do anything, did she?"
"She didn't do anything, but she is still too young." Old Master Cao left after saying this. It's not surprising that a young girl is unhappy when she knows that the visit is for a blind date; it's okay if she is impatient, but the worry is that the girl will be restless in the future.
After the old man left, Su Yunhui turned to look at her husband, "Dad, are you saying that Huanhuan is just pretending to be quiet and well-behaved?"
"You were so happy chatting with the mistress of the Xun family that you didn't notice that Miss Xun Huan is indeed not a good match. When our Zheng'er came back, her face was expressionless, her eyes full of disdain and impatience." Cao's father, Cao Fengshou, couldn't help but shake his head, somewhat disappointed with the girl from the Xun family. "She is a highly educated person and doesn't look down on our son."
This girl was a bit superficial. She probably heard that Cao Zheng was an outlier in the Cao family, not following the established system but pursuing a career in business. The Xun family was truly a powerful family in the country, and even if foreigners discriminated against overseas Chinese, it couldn't erase the Xun family's wealth and status.
Xun Huan had lived in the Xun family since childhood and knew how wealthy they were. His sudden return to China left him feeling a sense of loss, and after witnessing Cao Zheng's miserable state, he decided against the blind date. Cao Zheng was merely a businessman, and even if they married, he wouldn't be able to help the Xun family much. Xun Huan had high standards, but also a shortsightedness.
The Cao family never split up; it was a large family with many descendants. Crucially, the Cao family always had a clear distribution of interests, so there was no dirty tricks. Everyone worked hard, and relationships naturally developed. If Cao Zheng needed help one day, these people would be there to help.
Su Yunhui sighed softly, "Even you said so, so there's no way she's wrong. I thought Xun Huan was a good girl at first glance. She's well-mannered, graceful, and comes from a good family. But I didn't think about this aspect and almost made a big mistake."
If this really happens, it will harm our son!
"It won't be a big mistake. I'm here." Cao Fengshou comforted his wife. "If the Xun family needs to find a house, help them find one. I can also contact people to help."
"No, how can I not handle such a small matter? It's just a quadrangle with two to four courtyards! There are many quadrangle courtyards in Shangjing, and it's easy to find them if you look carefully."
"Okay, you can do whatever you want. If it doesn't work, tell me." Cao Fengshou thought a lot and thought it would be best to finish what he promised to the Xun family as soon as possible; and then have less contact. He brought his wife back to the army, and naturally they had less contact.
However, if the Xun family wants to return to China to develop in the future, Su Yunhui is currently the easiest target for them to conquer; they will definitely not give up easily, which makes things more troublesome.
Su Yunhui nodded, but felt sad again. After all, she had lost a close friend. The feeling was mixed, and she felt so sad that she wanted to cry.
The interactions between people are based on the accumulation of interests and pure friendship. She and Xun Huan's mother had a pure friendship at the beginning. Otherwise, who would help someone who had not been in contact for more than ten years?
"My son must have guessed our plan. I'll talk to him when Zheng'er wakes up."
Look what has happened.
