Xiao Qian couldnât help but laugh and cry at Jia Xiufangâs conclusion.
âMom, after looking at it for so long, this is the only thing you got? With your understanding, if this were a college entrance exam essay, you wouldnât even get a single point. It deviates from socialist core values and promotes negative energy. Are you asking us to learn from her behavior of seeking revenge on society for her loved ones? Although her experiences deserve sympathy, they should not be emulated!â
Even though that woman is pitiful, her actions are definitely wrong.
Wanting her elder brother to evade legal trial on grounds of mental illness and then kidnapping innocent Jia Xiufang, although she is pitiful herself, her actions are absolutely wrong.
âIâm just making an analogy. Seeing her anxious for her brother, I think of my useless second brother. Iâm afraid you and your brother will end up like this in the future. People say that siblings are the closest in the world, but once they get married and have their own families, they start growing apart. I really donât want to see my brother and sister fighting like me and your second uncleâ¦â
âDid my second uncle ask for money from you again?â
Xiao Qian frowns.
Ever since her familyâs demolition incident, when her second uncle played dirty tricks behind their back and was cleaned up by Xiao Qian and Yu Minglang, he probably knew that Xiao Qianâs family was not the same as before. He no longer offended Jia Xiufang but started pestering her every day, crying poor and pretending to be pitiful.
Jia Xiufang hates her second brotherâs shameless actions and canât refuse them completely. Being pestered and annoyed every day is too much for her. Xiao Qian foresaw this situation before going to school. For some shameless people, you canât measure them with normal peopleâs thinking.
Ordinary people who caused such a stir would not have the nerve to see Jia Xiufang anymore. Second Uncleâs family embodies what it means to be shameless and invincible in the world. They act like they had never done those things before, and they find a chance to use elderly people as an excuse to come and annoy Jia Xiufang.
So Xiao Qian issued a strict order to Jia Xiufang: no lending money and if thereâs any trouble, call the emergency contact number left by Yu Minglang. Xiao Qiang will send someone to handle it. If anyone dares to lend a penny to Second Uncle, donât blame Xiao Qian for turning against them when she comes back.
Jia Xiufang is a little afraid of her daughter, she doesnât dare to disobey her words, so Second Uncle has borrowed money several times but hasnât gotten a single cent.
âItâs not about borrowing money. Our shop has been demolished, you rented out one set, and the other set is getting ready for rent after your decoration. Now itâs almost ready, your second uncle said he wants to rent it to your cousin. He said heâll pay the same rent as renting to outsiders. Your cousin is unemployed at home and has no business, so he wants to do some small business. Iâm also in a dilemma, renting to anyone else is the same.â
âHa ha, renting to anyone else is the same? Thatâs funny! Mom, youâve been doing business for so long, how come your mind still canât turn? Weasels donât have any good intentions when they visit chickens! He says heâll take the rent, but he absolutely wonât. Heâll definitely say that he doesnât have money at home and wants to rent later, right?â
Renting later means first living in the house and then giving the money, while renting first means first giving money and then living in the house.
âYes, thatâs what he said. How did you know?â Jia Xiufang asks Xiao Qian admiringly.
âI also know that he plans to let his useless son occupy our shop without giving us a penny. When you try to ask for rent, heâll just cry poor. Heâll rent it for three to five years. By then, if housing prices go up, theyâll come over with a bag of money and forcibly buy your shop. And that amount of money will be the exact cost of your shop! So not only do we have to provide a place for them to live for free for a few years, but we also have to make up for the increase in housing prices!â
House prices are about to rise. The property in Xiao Qianâs name and the one in Jia Xiufangâs hands were personally chosen by Big Brother Yu. That location will be a bustling area in the future, and the prices will rise several times. The properties worth more than a million dollars will eventually be forcibly bought by Second Uncleâs family for tens or hundreds of thousands. This is something that can happen.
âIsnât that impossible?â
âWhy not? Do they have any limits? Youâre doing well in recycling construction materials now, and you have plenty of money on hand. According to the plan I gave you, youâll need to buy several more shops like this in the coming years. By then, Second Uncle will kneel in front of you with his whole family, crying about their misfortunes, saying you have so many properties, why canât you sell one to his family? They throw money at you to grab the property, and after grabbing it, they will still say with high morality that they bought it with their own money, and you have so much money, you canât even take your own brotherâs money!â
âIt makes me so angry!â Jia Xiufangâs blood boiled hearing Xiao Qianâs hypothesis, and she spat several times on the floor, angering Chen Zilong as well.
âThatâs too shameless!â
âDa Long, Mama is sometimes indecisive and easily softened. If she dares to make a mistake, you must call me immediately. Iâll come back and deal with it. If anyone dares to take our house or lend our money to the ungrateful wretches, Iâll blame you when I come back. Got it?!â
âYes, Sister, I got it. I remember everything that Second Uncle has done to our family!â
Xiao Qian patted Chen Zilongâs shoulder, âFulfill your mission and perform well!â
Without dreams.
Xiao Qian went to Yu Minglangâs house the next day, which was cold and empty, lacking the warmth of a home. He must not have been back for a long time.
At this moment, he must be working overtime. Xiao Qian hasnât received any news from him for several days.
Opening the windows, she took a rag and wiped the dust-covered furniture, then took a mop to scrub the floor of each room. The house was so big that it was quite a hassle to clean up. Xiao Qian cleaned the rooms spotlessly and left a note for him, telling him she had been there.
Having done all this, she left.
As soon as she reached the entrance of the residential area, she saw Father Yu walking towards her and was a little surprised.
âUncle?â
âOh, itâs Xiao Qian.â Father Yu was also slightly surprised when he saw Xiao Qian.
âI came to dust Ming Langâs house, are youââ
âIâm just strolling around.â
âThen take your time strolling. Iâm leaving.â
Xiao Qian bid him farewell, walked a few steps, then turned back and saw Father Yuâs lonely figure. After some consideration, she decided to go back to him.
âUncle, are you here to visit old friends?â
âUm, no, just walking around aimlessly. Whatâs up, you little girl, want to accompany me for a while?â
âI happen to have nothing to do, and I want to listen to your rich experience as a senior and receive some ideological education.â Xiao Qian felt that Father Yuâs behavior was somewhat unusual and did not feel reassured about him wandering around aimlessly.
She was not comfortable leaving him alone.
âLetâs walk together then. You young people these days are busy with work and school and have no time to come back and chat with me.â
âWhat about Auntie?â
âDonât mention that unreasonable old woman to me! Sheâs ignoring me, and I wonât talk to her either!â Father Yu said angrily.
Oh, is it because of Xiao Qianâs Aunt that they had another fight?
Seeing Father Yuâs expression, Xiao Qian knew that he was at a disadvantage again. She felt a little sympathy, but why did she also feel like laughing when she saw the stubborn old manâs frustrated expression?
