Chapter 258: Shopping Group
Chapter 258: Shopping Group
Saturday, October 8.
Today, Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Wei, along with Huang Dahai's mother-in-law and fiancée, are coming to the old house. Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Wei arrived early to wait for them.
This was Yu Wei's first time visiting this old villa, and he couldn't take it all in. He went in and out, looking around inside and out.
"Holy crap! When did you buy this house? It must have been expensive!"
"It's alright! I bought it early, but you can't buy it at that price now."
Yu Xiang was busy checking if anything was missing from the room.
Just then, a car horn sounded outside the courtyard gate.
"Yu Wei, hurry up and open the door."
Then, Zeng Lijuan, Zheng Aiying, Yu Min, Ji Lan, and Jiang Rong, mother and daughter, got off the car and stared blankly at the villa in front of them. The house looked beautiful, and the garden with pavilions, terraces, and artificial hills was even more beautiful than a park.
Zeng Lijuan was a little better off, since she had seen the photos, but photos can't compare to seeing it in person! Besides, the house in that photo was before it was renovated, while what we see now is a newly renovated house.
Yu Min's jaw dropped. The yard is huge! The house is so beautiful! Am I staying here for the next few days?
Jiang Rong and her mother Ji Lan rubbed their eyes, utterly incredulous. This house actually belonged to her brother-in-law? Where did this young man get so much money?
At this moment, Yu Xiang came out of the house to greet them.
They warmly welcomed everyone into the house.
Yu Min grabbed Yu Xiang's arm: "Sis, just how much money does your little man have? This is a mansion!"
"Hurry up and help me with my things, why don't you even help me?"
"Hmph!" Yu Min pouted and took the bag from Yu Xiang's hand.
As the hostess, Yu Xiang arranged for the mothers to go to their respective rooms. The elderly mother, Zeng Lijuan, stayed with Zheng Aiying, and the two of them temporarily stayed in the grandmother's bedroom.
Ji Lan and her daughter Jiang Rong stayed in a guest room on the second floor, while Yu Min was arranged to stay in another guest room on the second floor.
After settling in, Ji Lan and her daughter Jiang Rong talked in the room.
"Xiao Rong, isn't Da Hai's younger brother still in school? Where did he get so much money to buy a house?" Ji Lan, the mother-in-law, kept looking around the house, which looked very luxurious.
Jiang Rong was also completely confused. She had no idea what was going on. All she knew was that Dahai had a wealthy uncle who seemed to dote on her, his younger brother-in-law. She had just overheard someone mention that this was Grandma's retirement home or something. Maybe Dahai's uncle bought it?
At that moment, a middle-aged couple stood in front of a row of shops on Guanqian Street in Gusu. They were Zeng Jiahua, Zeng Jiahua's uncle, and Qian Jiazhen, Qian Jiazhen's aunt.
Zeng Jiahua held a mobile phone in one hand and a stack of property certificates in the other, with a genuine leather bag tucked under his arm – the typical attire of a modern-day wealthy man.
Aunt Qian Jiazhen looked at the shop with disbelief.
"Is this our house?"
The property certificate was in Zeng Jiahua's hands at that moment, and he handed it to Qian Jiazhen.
"Don't believe me? Then see for yourself!"
Only when she saw the three characters "Qian Jiazhen" clearly printed on the property certificate did her aunt believe it.
Looking at her name on the property certificate, tears streamed down her face: "Did that little monkey buy this for me?"
Zeng Jiahua raised his chin and said, "Who else could it be? Would anyone give you a house for no reason? Xiao Husun said that these three rooms are for the two of us to retire in, and you can come and collect rent every year. Xiao Hong and Xiao Xia also have one each. Xiao Husun said that this is his dowry for Xiao Hong and Xiao Xia. There are also seven storefronts that Xiao Husun left for his older sister, brother-in-law, and himself."
The aunt was so happy that she kept wiping away tears. She never expected that the little monkey she had raised since he was a baby would know how to be filial to her. It was all worth the love she had for him.
After wiping away her tears, her aunt urged Zeng Jiahua, "Quickly call Xiao Husun and ask him when he's coming back? I'll cook him something delicious."
"What's the point of calling him? He'll come back when he has time. He's usually very busy, you know?"
"If you don't call him back, I'll call him myself."
Readers are hotly debating: What exactly happened? Join the discussion at Cola Novels.
Zeng Jiahua looked at these storefronts and felt quite emotional.
How many years have passed? In the blink of an eye, my nephew has grown up. He not only earns money but is also very filial, which makes Zeng Jiahua feel proud. As his uncle, he is very proud. Now, which of his friends doesn't envy him?
Some people even repeatedly sent gifts to my home, hoping to establish a marriage alliance with me. Some even got the town mayor involved, just because they knew their nephew was a college graduate from a prestigious university and was also very handsome!
It's a pity I can't make that decision myself, especially since my nephew already has a girlfriend.
Just then, Zeng Jiahua's mobile phone rang. Zeng Jiahua calmly pressed the answer button and then put the mobile phone to his ear.
"Little monkey? Your mom's in Shanghai? I know, Monday noon, right?"
When my aunt heard the words "little monkey," she perked up her ears and added, "Don't hang up the phone, I want to say a few words to the little monkey."
"Little monkey, your aunt wants to say a few words to you."
My aunt took the cell phone and asked into the microphone, "When are you coming back? Oh, okay! What do you want to eat? I'll go buy it."
"You'll be back on Monday at noon? Great! I'll go buy some extra groceries."
After chatting for a few more minutes, he returned the mobile phone to Zeng Jiahua.
Zeng Jiahua glanced at the phone; it had already been disconnected.
"Now you know! Big sister and little monkey are coming back on Monday."
Qian Jiazhen automatically filtered out the fact that her sister-in-law was coming back. What she missed most was the little monkey she had raised since it was a baby. She felt very proud every time she took the little monkey out. It was just a pity that it was her nephew and not her son. Thinking of this, Qian Jiazhen couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards her sister-in-law again.
After speaking with his uncle and aunt on the phone, Huang Xiaochuan reported back to Zeng Lijuan.
"Mom! I've already talked to my uncle, and I'll go to Grandma's house with you all on Monday."
Zeng Lijuan always makes sure to go back to see her elderly mother whenever she comes here, and since going back is convenient, she doesn't have to take a detour. She can also bring her eldest daughter-in-law to see her mother.
Yu Min pulled Yu Wei along to tour the garden with her, and she also wanted to ask Huang Xiaochuan how he made so much money.
Yu Wei happened to know all of this, all because Ding Yi, that big mouth, told him. Ding Yi told Yu Wei everything about how a few people in dormitory 222 were speculating on stamps, buying stocks, and purchasing subscription certificates. And now Ding Yi is even getting Yu Wei involved in stock speculation.
Since Yu Min asked, he told his second sister everything.
This left Yu Min speechless. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she definitely wouldn't have believed it. It felt like the money came out of nowhere. Is money really that easy to earn?
It wasn't just Yu Min who felt that Huang Xiaochuan had changed a lot; Yu Wei felt the same way, after all, they had grown up together since childhood.
Huang Xiaochuan naturally hosted a banquet for the group that evening, mainly to give face to his elderly mother, Zeng Lijuan, since his elder brother's mother-in-law was also present.
The shopping trip on the second day was truly an eye-opener for Jiang Rong and her daughter.
This outfit looks great on me, I'll buy it!
"Waitress, please give me the order."
You need to get a few pieces of gold jewelry, right?
"Waiter, I'll take all of these. Please write up the bill!"
The wealthy Zeng Lijuan was simply outrageous; she wanted to buy everything she saw, and practically emptied the department store. Jiang Rong and her daughter couldn't persuade her otherwise.
Huang Xiaochuan didn't stay with them; instead, he took Zheng Aiying and the three siblings, Yu Xiang and her brother, to visit several famous tourist attractions in Shanghai.
When Huang Xiaochuan returned to the old house with his mother-in-law and her family, he was startled by the large and small bags scattered all over the floor.
Seeing that the group had returned, Zeng Lijuan happily boasted to Zheng Aiying about her achievements that day.
"Aiying, look at this dress. I bought it especially for you. Go try it on!"
"Yu Min, this is what your aunt bought for you."
"Yu Xiang! You have one too!"
Yu Wei glanced at Huang Xiaochuan, and the two of them went out to the garden in tacit agreement.
