Zhang Chen bowed to Lin Yiping politely, "Hello Auntie, I'm Zhang Chen, Xiao Xia's classmate." ”

When Lin Yiping heard this, her heart relaxed slightly, wiped the laundry detergent foam on her hands, and hurriedly let Zhang Chen into the house.

After Zhang Chen entered the door, he felt sour when he saw the furnishings in the room.

The four walls of the family are not necessarily sad, maybe it is the disconnection of the middle class.

What is sad is Xiao Xia's house, this house is not a bathroom that has not been seen, at most it is only eleven or twelve square meters of usable area, which is both a living room, a bedroom and a kitchen.

The floor of the room was an ordinary concrete floor, but it was mopped clean.

The small pits on the ground due to age have been carefully smoothed out by Lin Yiping with cement, and you can imagine how bad the ground of this house was before. It still doesn't look aesthetically pleasing, but at least it doesn't feel scruffy.

There is a bed with a width of one meter two or three against the wall, which is a single bed, a bit big, a double bed, and too crowded. The washed faded sheets were laid out neatly, and the pillows and bedding were neatly folded.

The TV is a 14-inch black and white TV, which is precious and covered with a pillow towel, for fear of falling dust.

There are only two chairs in the house, and they are still the kind of inferior wooden chairs painted with maroon paint more than ten years ago, even if they are reborn in 96, Zhang Chen has seen them for the first time since he was reborn.

The pots and pans are all old, but they are clean.

There was no range hood, but there was not even a hint of grease on the stove.

The lights in the room are not bright, except for a small wattage fluorescent tube on the roof, only a table lamp placed on the small desk by the windowsill is an additional lighting fixture.

Small plants were placed on the windowsill and desk, and the green pothos raised in two glass jars and bottles climbed along the window to form a green window frame, adding a lot of life to the humble cottage.

Poor, but with backbone and the pursuit of life.

But such a mother and daughter are living such a poor life, which makes Zhang Chen really admire it in his heart.

With Lin Xiaoxia's mother's appearance, even now, there will be no shortage of suitors. It should be easy to choose one with good economic conditions.

But Lin Yiping didn't, for the sake of Lin Xiaoxia, Lin Yiping resolutely stopped marrying, and pulled Xiaoxia to grow up by herself, for fear that her daughter would be bullied by her stepfather or stepfather's family, causing more harm to the child.

The situation at home made Lin Yiping a little embarrassed, so she made a chair for Zhang Chen and sat on the bed by herself.

Zhang Chen cleared his throat, recounted the matter completely with Lin Yiping, and then asked Lin Yiping's grandfather if it was Lin Zhigeng.

Lin Yiping was dazed and stammered: "Xiao Zhang, Xiao Xia's great-grandfather, who is also my grandfather, is indeed called Lin Zhigeng, but I have never heard my father mention that my grandfather still has a house in Bincheng, is it a mistake?"

Zhang Chen shook his head, "Impossible, Aunt Lin, what we checked through the household registration system of the Public Security Bureau is that you are right." Maybe Xiao Xia's grandfather died relatively early, and he didn't have time to tell you about the past. ”

Lin Yiping was a little sad, "Also, in those years, I avoided this kind of thing, for fear of being charged again." ”

Zhang Chen nodded and said, "That's it, so I'm going to ask you now, what do you want to do?"

Lin Yiping was puzzled: "What should I do? Now that the house has implemented the policy to this liar, we don't have a deed in our hands, so there's nothing we can do?"

Zhang Chen said calmly: "You don't have to worry about the house, I can ask a friend for help." The matter of finding out Qian Lixian is also a favor from the Public Security Bureau, so you don't have to worry about it. I want to ask you what you plan to do if I give you the house and ask it back. ”

Lin Yiping didn't believe it, how could one of her daughter's classmates, who was about the same age as her daughter, be able to do it. So he shook his head and said softly: "Xiao Zhang, you are still too young, you think too simply, it's not so easy." We didn't know the news of this suite before, the days have passed, and now we know, but it doesn't belong to us, and Xiaoxia and I should still live how we live. Really, thank you for thinking about me and Natsu, but I really don't have to bother. ”

Lin Xiaoxia saw that Lin Yiping didn't believe it, and said hurriedly: "Mom, Zhang Chen, he really has a way." ”

Lin Yiping smiled and didn't speak.

Zhang Chen groaned: "That's it, Aunt Lin, if I finish it here, Qian Lixian should be able to go to you to handle the transfer tomorrow." So as long as you take a day off tomorrow, go through the transfer procedures, and then discuss the house after that, do you think it's okay?"

Lin Yiping saw that Zhang Chen was so determined, and said half-convinced: "Xiao Zhang, it's not that Auntie doesn't believe you, what are you trying to do with us like this?"

Zhang Chen looked at Lin Yiping and said sincerely: "On the one hand, I really want to help Xiao Xia, after all, she is my classmate and takes good care of me at school." Lin Xiaoxia's face turned red and he hurriedly bowed his head.

"On the other hand," Zhang Chen paused, "I originally wanted to buy this house, and the money was ready, but now this has happened." I thought, if I get the house back for you, if you still plan to sell it, sell it to me, and I can buy it from you at the price negotiated with Qian Lixian. It's better for me that way, and there are no troubles. ”

Hearing this, Lin Yiping was a little convinced that Zhang Chen could really give her this house and ask her to come back.

Lin Yiping hesitated: "Xiao Zhang, if we can come over smoothly, frankly speaking, we can't move over." It's not easy to rent such a big house. You have also seen the situation at home, and you can buy it to actually help your aunt. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Yiping snorted: "Then how much can this house sell for now?"

Zhang Chen smiled dumbly, "I talked to Qian Lixian about 200,000 US dollars before, which is equivalent to about 1.7 million yuan." ”

Lin Yiping's hand shook, and her face was pale: "Ah, so much, I only spent 20,000 yuan to buy the house I lived in with Xiao Xia." ”

Zhang Chen said patiently: "It can't be counted like this, the quality and structure of the location, the house. Frankly speaking, the price that Qian Lixian wants is indeed not low, but the surrounding small buildings are all state-owned, and they will not be sold at all, so the price is high. ”

Lin Yiping thought for a while, "Xiao Zhang, this way, if you can get the house back, buy it at half price." Lin Yiping laughed self-deprecatingly, walked to Lin Xiaoxia's side and touched Lin Xiaoxia's head.

"Auntie is not a fool, if you can really get the house back, it will certainly not be so simple, you may only need half or even less money to buy the house, you don't need to tell us at all. It wasn't ours in the first place, and it's not a pity to lose it. ”

Zhang Chen just wanted to persuade Lin Yiping, but Lin Yiping waved her hand and said: "Auntie didn't deliberately pretend to be high, when Xiaoxia was a child, I told her that we can live without anyone's charity, only earn the money we should earn, and not lose our self-esteem because of vanity." As the descendants of the Lin family, it stands to reason that this house is ours. But without you, we wouldn't even know the news, let alone get the house back. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Yiping smiled self-deprecatingly, "If it weren't for Xiao Xia, I don't think we should take this half of the money." ”

"Xiao Xia is young, and there are still a lot of places to use money in the future, and now she is starting to learn dance again. Speaking of this, Lin Yiping's eyes showed a gentle look, "She grew up with me since she was a child and suffered a lot. I couldn't provide her with a better environment, I could only tell her self-esteem and self-love. ”

"I still remember when we first arrived in Ben Thanh, it was snowing heavily and the road was dripping with ice. We have all just arrived in Ben Thanh from Phuoc Hai and have never seen such cold weather. I didn't have much money, I couldn't afford to live in a guest house, and I was afraid that I would be sent to the shelter as a blind exile. I pulled Xiao Xia, carried my luggage, and walked in the snow step by step. ”

At that time, Xiao Xia only wore a thin sweater in addition to his coat, and his ears and face were red from the cold. But the child was sensible, and I asked her if she was cold, and she said no, but put my hand in her arms to help me warm it. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Xiaoxia was already in tears, and choked up: "Mom, don't say it." ”

Lin Yiping also had tears in her eyes, "Later, I found a job in Bincheng, although the income is not high, but I can support our mother." Xiao Xia likes to dance, and I insisted on sending her to learn no matter how difficult it was in Fuhai before. Later, Xiao Xia was worried that the tuition fee was too expensive, so she took the initiative to say that she didn't like dancing anymore and stopped studying. At that time, I was a mother, not to mention how uncomfortable it was. ”

"So, if you really want to come back, give us half of it, and you deserve the other half. Lin Yiping said calmly.
