Si Ya pouted, "Come on, can you? How can my father compare to my uncle? Let's not talk about the houses in Xinjiang. My uncle bought four courtyard houses in Beijing a long time ago, but my family doesn't have any..."
Xinxin covered her mouth and smiled when she heard that. "Then why don't you ask Second Uncle to buy some too?"
Yes, in 1982, with the help of Li Jianmin's brother-in-law, Chu Tian bought two more three-courtyard courtyard houses, covering an area similar to the previous three-courtyard house. However, within a few years, the price was much higher, but Chu Tian still bought them without hesitation.
Si Ya waved her hands and refused. "Forget it, forget it. Houses in Jing City are so expensive. I won't stay in Jing City anymore. My eldest brother goes to school in Hai City, so if I want to buy a house, I'll buy it there. My second brother was sent to the army by my father, so he won't be needed in the future. As for my youngest brother? Let's wait until he can pass the exam..."
What Si Ya didn't know was that her words at that moment would make her want to come back and slap herself a few times every day for decades to come, to crack open her head and see if it was all just a mess. How could she be so stupid? This is a house in Beijing, why didn't she buy it sooner?
After the eight girls had eaten and drunk their fill, they asked the boss how much the bill was. It was a little over two dollars per person. Except for Xinxin and Siya, the other six girls' families were not as well-off as Xinxin and Siya's, but it was understood that they all had working parents and would receive some pocket money from their families every month.
Therefore, if you only eat a meal of more than two dollars once every one or two months, you can still afford it.
The eight people had no objections and each paid their own portion of the money, then prepared to put on their clothes and leave.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Xinxin looked at the ridiculous scene in front of her in disbelief. She saw Chu Aizu, dressed in an exaggerated manner, snuggling up to a man who looked at least ten years older than them. He had just walked into the store and was walking towards an empty table not far away. She was about to step forward without thinking, but was quickly grabbed by Si Ya.
Si Ya held Xinxin's hand tightly and whispered as she walked out the door, "Xinxin, have you forgotten what Aunt Yao said? Didn't she tell you to leave it alone?"
Xinxin stopped Si Ya and raised her voice slightly, "I know, I know, but, but Sister Aizhu is our cousin after all. She is so depraved now, what will we do in the future, she..."
Si Ya rolled her eyes and interrupted Xin Xin, "What does that have to do with us? Was it us who introduced her to this man? Was it us who allowed her to fall into depravity? Was it us who allowed her to hang out with those older men?"
"Look, it's only been a few months, and she's already had so many boyfriends relying on her looks. She's completely shameless, so why are you still bothering her?"
"It's not like we haven't intervened before. She was the one who told us not to meddle in her business! So why should we bother with her? Anyway, even if we have to intervene, it should be Uncle Jie who should do it!"
Si Ya still remembered the previous times when she and Xin Xin had tried to persuade her, Chu Aizhu had an impatient expression on her face, as if she had eaten a fly! After all, she was just a cousin from the next room, not her biological sister, so why should she care?
"I understand. Let's go."
Xinxin also remembered the cold stare that Chu Aizhu had given her before, and she gradually calmed down and nodded slowly.
At this time, the roommate who had already walked to the door turned around and saw Xinxin and Siya still standing there. He called out in surprise, "Chu Yaxin, Chu Panpan, why haven't you two come out yet?"
Si Ya hurriedly shouted, "We are coming, we are coming right away."
After saying that, he pulled Xinxin, who was dressed, towards the door.
At this moment, Chu Aizhu, who was snuggling next to her new boyfriend, heard a familiar voice, raised her eyes and glanced at the corner of Xinxin's clothes that flashed by, her eyes flashing.
Inside Chu Tian's home in Urumqi, Yao Xiujuan listened to the sound of the TV coming from the living room. While putting the dried clothes into the closet, she whispered to Chu Tian, who was sitting on the bed soaking his feet, "Brother Tian, do you think you should tell grandma?"
Chu Tian shook his head without thinking and said, "Stop talking. Grandma is already so old, why do you still have to tell her these bad things?"
"I called Brother Jie today, and he said he's off tomorrow and will come over then."
Yao Xiujuan closed the cabinet door and turned to look at Chu Tian, "Have you told Brother Jie?"
Chu Tian picked up the foot cloth beside him and wiped his feet. "No, it's hard to explain over the phone, so I just said I had something to talk to him about!"
Yao Xiujuan nodded, and after a moment of silence, she sighed, "You said that girl Aizhu, how..."
Chu Tian stood up, picked up the foot basin on the ground, looked at Yao Xiujuan and said calmly, "She has changed a long time ago, but we didn't notice it before. Our Xinxin has advised her so many times behind her back, but she just won't listen. And we are just her uncle, so there is no need for us to care about her."
Yao Xiujuan said helplessly, "I know, I just feel sorry for her. She was such a well-behaved child since she was young, but how could she go astray..."
Chu Tian said calmly, "If a person lets himself fall, no one can save him. There's a saying that's very true: I can wake up a person who's asleep, but I can't wake up someone who's pretending to be asleep."
If Chu Aizhu wants to indulge in depravity, Chu Tian has no right to interfere, and he will certainly not let Yao Xiujuan interfere. The most he can do is to give Chu Jie a few reminders, which is his greatest kindness.
So, when Chu Tian received a call from Li Jianmin and heard what he said about Chu Aizhu's actions in the Normal School in Beijing, he asked them to tell Xinxin without thinking, not to continue to care about Chu Aizhu's affairs and just let her go to school well.
