Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 616 - 87: Ordinary First-Level is Sufficient_3
Bah, scumbag!
Serves him right!
In any case, Wen Juan and Chen Jian Country are cuddled together, both quite inflated with expectations for the future.
...
Aunt Niu and Niu Hong have already left the house.
They first went next door to borrow a bike—
No choice, the neighboring village is quite far, and their family only has one bicycle. Thinking that Da Dan’s family has several bikes and no one is using them now, Aunt Niu went to knock on the door unceremoniously.
Da Dan was in the yard with everyone, flipping and sunning semi-finished guoba, and was quite surprised to see Aunt Niu:
"What’s up, Auntie? My sister just came back, why doesn’t she rest more at home?"
Look at Da Dan, calling her his sister, telling her to rest, sounds like family!
Aunt Niu frowned, no longer thinking of him as just an immature teenager, and said proactively:
"Oh, it’s not for nothing, it’s your brother-in-law, he only cares about his sister and doesn’t think about my daughter..."
People say the scandal in the family shouldn’t be shared, but with these two families being so close, seeing her daughter’s rough, calloused hands, how can a mother not feel heartache?!
Before, she had to maintain harmony at home and had to endure it.
But seeing Da Dan look so worried, with a "this is a family issue" expression, she couldn’t hold it in anymore.
Niu Hong felt a bit embarrassed:
"Oh, mom, why are you saying this?"
Who would’ve thought Da Dan would already be shouting in a hushed tone:
"What?! How can my brother-in-law be so thoughtless? My sister works so hard with him in the countryside!"
Niu Hong is an honest person, she thought to herself, it’s not me accompanying him in the countryside, it’s the national policy, isn’t it?
But before she could say it out loud, Aunt Niu had already slapped her thigh:
"Isn’t that right!"
Finally found someone who understands.
Da Dan quickly asked:
"Then Auntie, why do you need a bicycle? Is there anything I can help with?"
Being so close, Aunt Niu of course knew what Chen Changhai brought in the car every time he came by, so she didn’t hide it:
"I’m thinking your sister has worked hard for so many years, and now she’s back at her parents’ home, wouldn’t it be awkward if she doesn’t get along with your sister-in-law? She still needs a place of her own."
Not hiding it is one thing, but some things can’t be said too straightforwardly; is she supposed to tell Da Dan she doesn’t trust these siblings and wants her daughter to be cautious?
— In any case, she’d be seen as an unreasonable old lady.
But Da Dan instantly understood.
"I get it."
"Auntie, you’re going to Lupan Village at the rear fork, my uncle passed by there, said to go to Beijing, it’s about the same distance from here to Beijing. It’s just that going back and forth between here and there is a bit of a distance, takes about an hour by bike."
"Crossing mountains and ridges, and mostly small roads."
"But since it’s about the same distance from the city, I think being a bit farther is better."
Aunt Niu understood too: "There are houses over there?"
"There are."
This was information from Chen Changhai.
He knew Da Dan was thinking of buying a house, but there was really nothing for sale in Huazhuang, so they could only inquire around nearby villages.
After all, Da Dan’s first demand was that it couldn’t be too far from Beijing.
"Several houses were built over there a couple of years ago, initially bought by local educated youth, but haven’t they all started returning now? The houses are up for sale."
He thought about it, lowered his voice, and leaned over:
"When you go over, say Brother Chen referred you, it’s a 150-square-meter mud-brick house, for this price!"
500!
Aunt Niu was instantly delighted.
The mud bricks these days are quite durable, all made by arduously molding and air-drying, well-maintained, they can last for decades.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that Da Dan’s family lives in a blue-brick tile-roofed house; next door Aunt Niu’s house only has the main house made of red bricks, the rest are all mud expansions—
This is the mainstream!
If it were a blue-brick big tile house, why bother building in the village with that money?
Isn’t getting a house in the city and an urban household registration better?
Because of this, seeing this number, Aunt Niu’s eyes lit up.
The neighboring village she inquired about was 800 yuan, and the house wasn’t big, just a bit of red brick under the main house—what use is that bit?
The advantage is it’s close to her mother’s house, about a 15-minute bike ride.
But the downside is also being close to her mother’s house, although transportation is inconvenient, if rumors spread over...
No, no.
This matter, if the couple’s relationship is bad, it must be hidden.
If the couple’s relationship is good, it must still be hidden, and the timing must be right to say, otherwise, isn’t it destroying trust?
Judging by Aunt Niu’s way of handling things, if it weren’t for the money being sent over by their family, if it weren’t for her daughter delaying for more than ten years, and now with people going to college causing incidents of abandoning wives, she surely wouldn’t do it this way.
