Chapter 545 Talking
At this time, the food was quickly served, and the rich aroma wafted out, quickly diluting the awkward atmosphere.
Ping'an called his grandfather and grandpa grandpa over, put two tables in the living room, and everyone sat around to eat and drink.
Second aunt Lu Yan saw that everyone was eating, smelled the aroma, and felt her mouth water. She picked up the chopsticks and casually picked up a piece of braised pork. After chewing it for a few times, she soon found that the pork belly was fat and lean, soft, glutinous and mellow, and melted in her mouth.
Her favorite food in recent years is braised pork, and she has become addicted to it after eating it so often.
I found that the braised pork at this moment is more delicious than ever.
What a ghost!
The braised pork we have eaten since childhood was always made by great chefs, but the one for the Chen family was made by the nanny, so how could it be so delicious?
Could it be that I am extremely hungry? Everything tastes delicious?
That should be the case. Let’s try another piece.
wrong! The braised pork was indeed very delicious, and the people at the table all reached for the plate of braised pork with their chopsticks.
It’s so delicious, she doesn’t want others to grab it all!
She quickly picked up the braised pork with her chopsticks and soon finished half the plate of it.
Wang Jiwu soon discovered that his wife, who had a look of disgust on her face just now, had now turned into a glutton, like a country aunt who had never seen the world and was feasting.
This is so embarrassing!
He felt ashamed, so he stretched out his long legs and kicked his wife who was sitting next to him, hoping that she would change her target. He took the initiative to put a piece of chicken in her bowl and said, "Wife, try the chicken!"
Lu Yan glared at her husband in dissatisfaction, stared at the chicken nuggets with disgust for a few seconds, pinched her nose and ate them.
I soon discovered a new world. The chicken nuggets were so delicious, the meat was tender and juicy, and the delicious taste was jumping on the tip of my tongue.
She decisively changed her target and kept reaching for the chicken with her chopsticks. She found that there were hazel mushrooms in the chicken, which was also very delicious.
After more than ten minutes, she put down her chopsticks reluctantly, feeling full.
Chen Kexin was also eating at this table. When she saw the way Lu Yan ate, she felt strong contempt in her heart. What kind of person is this?
Maybe she was too excited about eating, so Lu Yan became quiet afterwards.
The Chen family returned to the next door.
Wang Xiuyun took her two daughters-in-law for a long walk in her yard and said, "This large courtyard with five entrances is what our family bought. From now on, the eldest and I will live in the first and second courtyards, and the second will live in the third courtyard at the back. What do you think?"
Lu Yan muttered to herself: The three courtyards in the back occupy a large area in total, and there is a back door. Besides, they only have one child, and the old lady lives with her eldest brother. She is very satisfied with this.
He showed a rare smile on his face and said, "Mom, you have the final say!"
Wang Xiuyun thought to herself that the second family knew that they were getting the upper hand.
She continued, "Your sister lives in the courtyard house next door, and the structure is similar to ours..."
Before she finished her words, Lu Yan suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Mom, when did you buy these two courtyard houses?"
"What happened after we got here?"
Today, the Chinatown where they live can be said to be worth every inch of land.
Longcheng is the capital of China, and such ancient and quaint buildings must be worth a lot of money.
Thinking of this, Lu Yan frowned and asked unhappily, "Mom, were these two houses bought by our family?"
Wang Xiuyun's face suddenly darkened, and she said unceremoniously: "Second brother's family, don't say that the house was not paid for by our family, but what's wrong with our family paying for a house for my daughter?"
Wang Jiwu suddenly had a headache. His wife's petty nature came back again.
Thinking of what his elder brother said to him, he said in a lecturing tone: "Lv Yan, can't you just be quiet? You make a fuss when my sister's family is here. Don't say that mother and elder brother didn't buy a house. What's wrong with buying a house for my sister? To tell you the truth, this courtyard house is only 50,000 RMB. How much does it cost to play a game of mahjong?"
So cheap?
Lu Yan had just returned and didn't know the prices in China. When she learned the price of this large courtyard house, she was shocked.
Wang Xiuyun sighed and said, "Second brother, Mom is old and doesn't want to worry about her anymore. You brothers should just separate the family."
She discussed this matter with her eldest brother, and they reached a consensus.
Wang Jiwu was stunned for a moment, but soon reacted, "Mom, I don't want to split up the family. Don't you always say that brothers of one mind can break metal?"
"Second brother, your eldest brother is investing in China now, so it's unlikely that he will return. We have a lot of businesses in Chinatown that we would rather sell off. You're good at maintaining the status quo than making new ones, so why don't you just keep those businesses? What do you think?"
Lu Yan was overjoyed. Her family's assets in Chinatown included not only factories, but also a large number of shops and several office buildings for rent. The total assets added up to more than 200 million US dollars, and the cash was only more than 100 million US dollars.
This was counted before my eldest brother and mother-in-law came back. If the family was divided, wouldn't the second branch of our family take the lion's share?
After rolling her eyes, she was satisfied and said with a smile: "Mom, it's not us who want to split up the family, but you who decided it?"
Wang Xiuyun said firmly, "I said it, but I won't be partial to anyone. You two must give your eldest brother another 80 million Mi Jin, of which 30 million Mi Jin is my retirement money. If you disagree, the two brothers will swap."
Lu Yan thought she could get an advantage, but when she heard that she had to pay another 80 million Mi Jin, she immediately became unhappy.
"Mom, you also know how much income the family businesses can bring in every year? It will take several years to earn 80 million yuan. Isn't this embarrassing for our second wife? Besides, don't you have money in your hands?"
"Second brother, what are you talking about? I have some money, so shouldn't they provide for my old age? Don't forget how the family business came from? If you feel embarrassed, I will go back with you and sell a few shops. Your eldest brother won't have enough money to invest when he comes back."
Wang Jiwen and Wang Jiwu said: "It's no problem for mom to have 30 million Mi Jin as pension money."
Lu Yan suddenly felt a pain in her heart. Her man's elbow was actually bent outward.
Besides, the shops at home are in good locations, so it would be difficult to buy them back after selling them.
She was hesitating about what to say, but Wang Jiwu glared at her fiercely and said straightforwardly, "Mom, brother, if you need money urgently, just sell a few shops. If you don't need it urgently, I'll write you an IOU and collect the money as soon as possible and transfer it back."
Wang Xiuyun's frown gradually relaxed. After all, this was his own flesh and blood, and the second son was not as confused as his wife.
"Okay, you brothers can discuss what to do. Mom is old and doesn't want to get involved in these matters."
Lu Yan complained strongly in her heart: Old thing, why don’t you stop meddling in other people’s affairs?
And you want 30 million for retirement money alone? Everyone knows that you, an old man, have invested in several companies and receive a lot of dividends every year.
She faced her husband's warning gaze and tried to test him: "Mom, will you live with my eldest brother from now on? Is Jiwu also your son?"
