Chapter 270: Money is not spent in vain
In the middle of the night, I dreamed of juvenile things, and my dreams were dry with tears.
In the dead of night after midnight, even though it was Chinese New Year's Eve, there was still silence outside the window under the ban on firecrackers. Geng Zhiyuan and Wei Xiao sat opposite each other by the window, thinking about each other's thoughts, silently looking at each other and speechless.
"Zhiyuan, Chenchen is going to school this year. Wei Xiao suddenly broke the silence and said, "Can you come and take him to school on the first day of school?"
"Huh?" Geng Zhiyuan said in surprise, "It's time for Chenchen to go to school?"
"Your father is not qualified!" Wei Xiao said angrily: "Chenchen was born on September 16, 2002, and he is exactly six years old this year, and he is the age when he should go to elementary school. ”
"Isn't it okay to be born before September 1st?" Regarding the child's schooling, Su Qing didn't know how many times he had nagged in front of Geng Zhiyuan, so he also knew a thing or two.
"Hey, you know a lot!" Wei Xiaowan smiled and said, "Have you forgotten that I used to be a teacher? ”
"It's really fast...... Geng Zhiyuan looked at the beautiful face that had been haunted by dreams and lovesickness on the other side, and sighed: "After so many years, the children have grown up, and we are also old." ”
"Phew!" Wei Xiao chirped: "What nonsense are you talking about during the Chinese New Year? Who is old? We are still young." ”
Geng Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Are you still in contact with Li Yu?"
Wei Xiao's eyes darkened and said: "Alas, the status gap is too big, there is no common language, and everyone who is busy with marriage has long stopped interacting." ”
Wei Xiao and Li Yu were good girlfriends in school back then, and after graduating and stepping into society, they gradually broke off contact, and there are still a few friendships that can stand the test of time.
"She'll be upset if she knew you're with me. "Geng Zhiyuan is a ghost.
Wei Xiao bit her lip and said, "When I married Luo Yang, I invited her to participate, and she didn't know about our divorce later." How could she know about what was nice to you later?"
"Besides......" Wei Xiao said with a smug face: "The person she wanted but couldn't get was cheaper than me, how could I let her know? ”
A woman's mind is the most difficult to figure out, and Geng Zhiyuan admired: "What if...... I mean, if you liked me back then, would you fight with her for me?"
Wei Xiao said shyly: "Zhiyuan...... I'll be honest with you, I really wouldn't like you back then. We didn't say a few words, and you didn't come to provoke me, how could I possibly like you?"
Geng Zhiyuan smiled: "What you said is very reasonable, but what if?"
Wei Xiao glared at him and said, "Of course you have to fight, you are my man, how can I give it to others?"
"She's your best friend......"
"Girlfriends can't either!" Wei Xiao said categorically: "Other things can be shared with girlfriends, but your own man can't, resolutely not!"
Women's emotional exclusivity is really strong, Geng Zhiyuan said: "You are also my own, and no one can snatch you away from me." ”
Unexpectedly, Geng Zhiyuan suddenly said love words, Wei Xiao's cheeks flushed and said: "I hate it!" ”
Geng Zhiyuan stood up and stretched out his hand to hold her and said, "Let's go, go to bed early, I have to go to the old mansion tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings." ”
"Hmm!" Wei Xiao blushed and followed him into the bedroom.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, after breakfast, Geng Zhiyuan drove in the car and took his parents and younger brother's family to the Geng family's old house. After the relatives who entered the courtyard one by one, Geng Zhiyuan returned to his grandparents' house to rest.
Geng Zhiwei saw that a brand-new four-story building had suddenly been built in the backyard, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Grandpa, who built a small building in the yard?"
Geng Huaimin laughed when he heard this: "Who built it? Don't you know?"
Geng Zhiwei said with a blank face: "What do I know? Why do we want to build a small building?"
Geng Huaiguo didn't know how to explain it, but Geng Zhiyuan said nonchalantly: "I built it." ”
Geng Zhiwei was even more puzzled: "Brother, why are you building a building? If you don't come to live, you really have money and nowhere to spend?"
Geng Huaijun snorted and said: "Your brother heard that he would be demolished, and he had to compensate for building a building, but the demolition was gone, and all the hundreds of thousands of yuan spent on building a building were in vain." ”
The third brother actually teased his son in front of him, Geng Huaiguo blushed and was about to distinguish a few words for his son, but Geng Zhiwei's eyes lit up and said: "Is it real?"
"Whether it's true or not, you have to ask your brother. Geng Huaijun gloated: "Anyway, the small 200,000 yuan thrown in is real, but unfortunately I didn't hear a sound." ”
"Brother, do we really want to demolish here?" Geng Zhiwei said impatiently.
Geng Zhiyuan said helplessly: "There are rumors that the annual meeting will be demolished, but there has been no movement yet." ”
Geng Zhiwei rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, what's going on with this little building? ”
Before Geng Zhiyuan could speak, Gao Shuying poured beans from the bamboo tube next to him and said it clearly. After hearing this, Wang Xiaoling hurriedly dragged Geng Zhiwei, and Geng Zhiwei said: "Brother, since it is the house that my grandfather gave to our father, I should also have a share as a son, right?"
Geng Zhiyuan glanced at him and said indifferently: "Of course, the house can be half of our brothers." ”
Geng Zhiwei and his wife were immediately happy when they heard this: "Great! I knew that my brother would not treat me badly." ”
Geng Zhiyuan said again: "But it cost more than 200,000 yuan to build a building, and you have to get half of the money." ”
"What?" Geng Zhiwei was stunned. It's a good thing to have money, but it's a bit difficult to get him to pay for it.
"This ......" Geng Zhiwei turned his head to look at Wang Xiaoling and said, "Wife, you see?"
Wang Xiaoling said with a smile: "Big brother, when the demolition is subsidized, you can deduct the half we should give and give us the rest of the money." ”
As soon as her words came out, Geng Huaimin's brothers suddenly lit up: "Wonderful! Why didn't we think of this trick! If we had thought of it earlier, let Zhiyuan, the unjust boss, pay for it, and we can share the benefits of demolition." What a pity!"
Geng Zhiyuan sneered: "If you don't pay for it, just wait for the benefits, how can there be such an easy good thing? If you want it, pay for it now, otherwise you won't want a penny when you demolish it." ”
Wang Xiaoling's face changed, and she was about to spill it in front of her, but Geng Zhiwei knew that his brother was a bombardment, and he would definitely deny his relatives if he was annoyed, so he quickly grabbed Wang Xiaoling and said, "Brother, we will give money." ”
"Why give me money...... Wang Xiaoling still wanted to mess around, Geng Zhiwei hurriedly whispered: "Don't say it! You annoy my brother, do you still want a house?"
Since Wang Xiaoling joined the work, she has always regarded herself as a person in Shanghai, and she looks down on her husband's poor relatives in Liangcheng. In addition to Geng Zhiyuan's prestige, he was polite to him, and as for other relatives, they were ignored.
For the sake of the house, Wang Xiaoling finally kept her mouth shut. Geng Huaimin and Geng Huaijun saw that the second child's family had a conflict, and they were a little happy watching the fire from the other side. Geng Huaijun couldn't help but say: "Zhiyuan, it's a pity that you built a house with that money, if you deposit it in the bank, it will be a lot of interest." ”
Geng Zhiyuan said indifferently: "Third uncle, the money is not spent in vain, whether it is demolished or not, with a new house, grandparents can live comfortably." ”
Geng Hongfu had to speak up for his grandson: "What Zhiyuan said is yes, since we have a new house, your grandmother and I have suffered a lot less. Not to mention anything else, this winter no longer has to be frozen, this new house is warmer than the old house with heating. ”
The old man spoke, but Brother Geng Huaimin didn't dare to refute it, and silently stopped speaking. Geng Zhiyuan saw that everyone was not speculative, so he sighed secretly, and said in his heart: "It is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, and it is really impossible to judge who is right and who is wrong in the short affairs of the parents. The grievances between relatives can only be turned a blind eye, and if they were serious, they would have fallen out with each other a long time ago and would no longer have interacted with each other. ”
Back at her parents' house, Wang Xiaoling was anxious to get a house, and kept giving Geng Zhiwei a look, but Geng Zhiwei turned a blind eye and let Geng Zhiyuan leave.
"Why don't you say it? Are you stupid?" After Wang Xiaoling waited for the eldest brother to leave, she complained to her husband: "As soon as your brother leaves, I don't know what the house will be like in the future?"
Geng Zhiwei said: "What do you know? Since my brother said that he would take the money if he wanted the house, he would definitely give the house if we gave the money, but now we have no money, how can we give it to others?"
Wang Xiaoling pouted and said: "The house in the countryside is only a few dollars? I don't believe that such a dilapidated building can cost more than 200,000 yuan." Your brother must be lying to us. ”
"Country?" Geng Zhiwei sneered and said, "Hmph! This is Liangcheng, not the countryside." I have calculated, the construction area of that small building is not less than 300 square meters, and spending more than 200,000 yuan is not much. ”
Wang Xiaoling frowned and thought: "Have you calculated, if it is really demolished, how much money can we make?"
Geng Zhiwei silently calculated: "If the demolition is compensated according to one to one, we can get at least 150 square meters." The housing price in Liangcheng is low, and at 2,000 yuan per square meter, it can be compensated about 300,000 yuan. ”
"300,000!" Wang Xiaoling's eyes widened and said: "Invest 100,000 to earn 200,000, twice the income is a lot! ”
In his opinion, since the house belongs to his father, as long as the younger brother is willing to pay, of course the brothers will take half of it, and they will never disregard the brotherhood and take it by themselves.
After bidding farewell to Wei Xiao's mother and son, he rushed to Dianzi Village to meet Lu Yi, and by the way, he paid a New Year's greeting to the Lu family. When he told Lu Yi that he wanted her to take Yido to play at home, Lu Yi frowned slightly and said, "Zhiyuan, Xiao Su really said that?"
"Hmm!" Geng Zhiyuan smiled: "What am I lying to you for? ”
Lu Yi smiled indifferently: "Xiao Su wants to open the best, anyway, it will be your family." ”
Geng Zhiyuan didn't know how to answer, so he could only smirk. Lu Yi thought for a moment and said, "Why don't I give you another son?" ”
Geng Zhiyuan was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again: "I can't do it!
"Look at your cowardice!" Lu Yi said angrily: "I was cleaned up by your wife, and seeing her is like a mouse seeing a cat." Where did you go?"
"Isn't it okay if I owe you?" Geng Zhiyuan said helplessly: "The love owed to you can only be in the next life, and it will be repaid in the next life." ”
