Hu Zi knew that Zhang Weifang was a rather independent person, so he did not agree to this proposal:
"We can just cook it ourselves. My mother's taste is different from ours."
Wang Hui smiled and said nothing more. She had known that her parents-in-law were remarrying, so they would not favor Hu Zi in many things, but she secretly kept this matter in her heart.
Before getting married, Wang Hui inquired about Hu Zi's family situation. She knew that her father-in-law ran a shop, her mother-in-law had a job, and the family was well off.
Moreover, there are only two sons in the family, and Hu Zi is the eldest, so it is natural that he will get a larger share in the future.
Therefore, she had to get pregnant quickly. After she had a child, her parents-in-law would naturally favor them. Otherwise, why would people say that the generation gap is the main factor influencing the relationship?
Lu Shi also noticed that his eldest daughter-in-law was a little narrow-minded, but as long as it did not affect the overall situation of the family, he could turn a blind eye.
At the end of the year, Zhang Weiren brought good news:
"Sister, our company is going to build some houses. We have two-story detached houses with small courtyards, and we also have ordinary apartment buildings. Would you like to buy one? I happen to have a spot."
When Zhang Weifang heard about the two-story house, her eyes lit up:
"Yes, yes, yes, I want to buy it. How much is a single-family house? How big is it?"
Zhang Weiren smiled. He didn't expect his elder sister to be so lively.
"Sister, the total area is over 200 square meters. The first floor has two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. The second floor has three bedrooms, and there is also a small attic for storage."
"Yes, I bought it. How much is it? Where do I pay?"
Zhang Weiren knew that his elder sister was not short of money, so he asked her first. If it were someone else, who knows what they would be thinking.
"The rough house is 35,000 yuan, and the decoration is up to you."
The next day, Zhang Weifang followed Zhang Weiren to their unit to buy the house. Such a big house only cost 35,000 yuan, and she felt that she had gotten a great deal.
There is a large courtyard behind the Economic Cooperation Office with rows of houses. The first three rows are single-family houses, two stories high, with a very small courtyard.
The three buildings at the back are six-story buildings, some with one bedroom and one living room, and some with two bedrooms and one living room. These houses are exclusively for internal staff of the Economic and Co-organizer. However, as long as you have connections, individuals can also buy them. If that is not possible, you can rent them.
Zhang Weicun hadn't saved much money in the past few years and couldn't afford to buy a house, so he rented a one-bedroom apartment. Although it was called a one-bedroom apartment, it was actually two bedrooms, with a usable area of more than 50 square meters and a balcony.
When Wang Hui heard that her parents-in-law wanted to buy a house, she was very tempted, so she urged Hu Zi to find Zhang Weifang to inquire about the situation.
Zhang Weifang directly told them the price of the house. The smallest one-bedroom apartment cost more than 10,000 yuan.
Hu Zi has been working for a few years, and half of his salary has been handed over to his family. He has very little money left, so buying a house is simply a fantasy.
Wang Hui was unhappy, so she quietly came to Zhang Weifang:
"Mom, we don't have enough money. How about we borrow some from you first and pay you back when we have money."
Zhang Weifang looked at the overly active eldest daughter-in-law and asked casually:
"How much?"
"Mom, just borrow 10,000 yuan. We don't have much money."
Zhang Weifang really wanted to slap him. He wanted her to pay for buying a house. As for borrowing money, it was just a casual talk. Could a mother really ask her own son for money?
Zhang Weifang hated the feeling of being schemed against, so she refused without a second thought:
"We don't have that much money at home. You can go out and borrow some money."
Wang Hui became anxious, but she still had a smile on her face:
"Mom, Huzi is your biological son. He will provide for you in your old age. How can you be so stingy? I heard that you spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy this house. How come you don't have any money to lend us?"
Zhang Weifang's good mood suddenly disappeared. She said coldly:
"I earned all the money to buy the house myself, I didn't borrow from anyone. As for Hu Zi's support in my old age, isn't that what he should do? What? If I don't give him money, he won't support me in my old age?"
Seeing that her mother-in-law was angry, Wang Hui didn't dare to argue with her anymore, so she had to return home with a gloomy face.
In fact, Zhang Weifang knew that there would be more and more commercial housing in the future, so there was no need to buy one now. Moreover, they already owed Zhang Weiren a favor for buying the house, so how could she trouble him again?
Zhang Weifang has money, but she won't give it all to her children to spend, otherwise it will be easy for them to develop the habit of asking for money casually.
Besides, Hu Zi just got married and his house was renovated, including the home appliances and furniture. It cost nearly ten thousand yuan in total, and the color TV alone cost more than 2,000 yuan. How could Wang Hui have the nerve to ask for more?
This is obviously a scam to steal her money, how could she be happy about it?
After Lu Shi came back, Zhang Weifang complained to him angrily for a long time. She felt that her daughter-in-law was too calculating.
Lu Shi also felt uncomfortable, but he still looked calm and composed.
"It's okay, leave it to me."
The next day, Lu Shi went to the criminal police team to find Hu Zi. He did not hide anything, but directly told the story:
"Huzi, you know your mother's personality is relatively simple and straightforward, while Wang Hui is more cautious and thoughtful. It's hard for them to get along. Go back and persuade Wang Hui, and everything will be fine once we move out."
It is unknown what Hu Zi said to Wang Hui after he returned, and she did not dare to mention buying a house again.
During the Chinese New Year, Zhang Weifang took her son and daughter-in-law back to her hometown. It was the first year of Hu Zi's marriage, so she had to bring them back to meet his family.
Wang Hui behaves well outside. She is generous and decent, and helps with work. Everyone has a good impression of her.
Zhang Weishuang enviously hugged his elder sister's arm and shook it, just like when he was a child:
"Sister, your daughter-in-law is good. She is hardworking and capable."
"Yeah, it's good."
Zhang Weifang couldn't possibly speak ill of her daughter-in-law in front of outsiders, could she? Besides, Wang Hui was pretty good in every way except that she was a little petty.
After the New Year, Gouxiao and Anan were both 21 years old, and they were of marriageable age. Zhang Weishuang had already picked a girl from the village for Gouxiao.
Zhang Weishuang is now focused on having a grandson and no longer thinks about adoption. However, she still likes Zhang Weicun's little niece very much and comes to see her whenever she has time.
Lingling lives with her grandmother in her hometown, and her second uncle's sister plays with her. She is very happy every day.
An An still has the mentality of a child. All she does every day is go out and have fun. She has never thought about getting married.
He felt that he was still young and it would not be too late to look for a job after working for a few years.
Zhang Weifang also agreed, but what she didn't expect was that some people were really bound by bad fate, and An An encountered his emotional disaster again.
