Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work
Chapter 370: Unanimous Agreement
Liu Huilan tends to be conservative, with outdated thinking; however, Yi Weiliang, who traveled extensively, gained much experience, and his eyes immediately lit up upon hearing Yi Roujing’s suggestion to buy a house.
"Mom, the younger sister is right, money won’t grow if kept in hand, buying a house is a good idea." Yi Weiliang immediately agreed, "I often drive out and hear many people complaining that warehouse rents have been rising in the past two years, and it will be even worse in the future."
"Is that so?" Liu Huilan was uncertain, "Why not call back and ask your dad and your older brothers?"
"Sure." Yi Weiliang nodded, supporting the idea, as it was a family matter, and the Yi Family hadn’t split; everyone’s opinion should be considered.
"But this property is really nice." Xie Chenyan liked the Ding Family Beiluo Lane house very much, it was big and clean.
"But buying it for others to live in feels uncomfortable." Liu Huilan said.
"Mom, your thinking isn’t keeping up with the times." Yi Roujing laughed at the remark, "This property was lived in by others before we buy it, it’s not new. If you don’t live in the house immediately, you can earn substantial rent over a year, covering family expenses."
Hearing this, Liu Huilan felt tempted, "You have a point, old third, go ask now. If everyone agrees, we will buy this house."
Yi Weiliang obliged and ran out.
"How much does a house in Jing City cost?" Liu Huilan asked.
"The money in the passbook can buy a house in a decent area, probably similar to this one." Yi Roujing replied.
"That expensive!" Liu Huilan was stunned, "This amount can buy three properties in Huaixi County."
"Mom, this is Jing City." Yi Roujing was a bit helpless, "Even in Jiang Province, buying a property isn’t cheap."
"Following your thinking, I’m just old now." Liu Huilan sighed, "Society is developing, college entrance exams have been restored, who knows about the future, you youngsters are more insightful than us older ones."
"You’re perceptive, mom." Yi Roujing teased.
"Don’t think I don’t understand." Liu Huilan laughed, then sighed, "However, this money was unexpected. Your grandfather really worried for us, leaving something behind for us even after going."
Yi Roujing nodded, "So we must live well, not to disappoint grandfather’s hopes."
Meanwhile, Yi Weiliang headed straight for the post office, made a call, waited ten minutes, and then dialed again, with Yi Shunyin answering.
"Weiliang, how is your wife? Has the surgery gone well?" Yi Shunyin asked with concern.
"Dad, you can rest assured, the surgery was very successful, without any impact on her body, just tiring for the two sisters-in-law, they still need to help look after the sweet potatoes." Yi Weiliang said.
"Dad, I’ve got important news to share, get the eldest and second brother to listen too." Phone fees are expensive, so Yi Weiliang kept it short, pointing directly to the key point that the money from selling grandfather’s Life-saving Pills could be used to buy a house in Jing City.
"Buying a house in Jing City?" Yi Shunyin was taken aback, "What does your mom say, this was originally left by your grandpa."
"Dad, ask the older brothers, mom’s idea is to buy if everyone agrees."
Yi Weimin and Yi Weijun, now employed and experienced, with different social circles, were both fully supportive of this idea.
Seeing that the three sons wanted to buy, Yi Shunyin had no objections, but still found it unbelievable that their family was going to buy a house in Jing City; when the father and sons returned home, they were still somewhat in shock.
"What’s going on? What did the younger brother say?" Weng Hefeng saw that her father-in-law and husband had uncertain expressions, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling foolishly, and was puzzled.
Pan Kexia was holding sweet potato to feed the baby, also slowed her actions to listen carefully.
"The third daughter-in-law is fine, the surgery was very successful, with no impact on her body." Yi Shunyin grinned.
Hearing this, Weng Hefeng and Pan Kexia both breathed a sigh of relief, smiles appearing on their faces.
"I said there was no problem, Jing City is such a place, the doctors there are the best in the country, the younger sister is there too, so there should be no issue." Weng Hefeng said with a smile.
Pan Kexia echoed, "It’s great that everything’s fine, I’ll tell Chentao later, the sister-in-law’s illness has weighed heavily on the child."
"Where is Chentao?"
"Youning came to play with him, luckily Youning’s cheerfulness helped." Weng Hefeng laughed, "Ah, they’re back now."
As soon as Weng Hefeng finished speaking, Xie Chentao and Liu Youning came through the door.
"Uncle, big brother..." The two children politely greeted everyone.
"Chentao, your brother-in-law called, and your sister is fine." Weng Hefeng, with her impatient nature, immediately shared the good news, "The surgery was very successful, no impact on her body."
"Really." Xie Chentao’s once downcast eyes brightened instantly, "Really no problem at all?"
"Really, really." Pan Kexia added, "Your uncle and older brother all answered the phone together, how could so many people mishear?"
Feeling instantly relieved, Xie Chentao’s spirits lifted, and Liu Youning was also happy, "I’ll head back first and tell the news to my aunt and the others."
"Ah, that makes sense, Youning let me escort you back." Yi Weimin didn’t want the child to go back alone.
"Also, there’s more good news." Yi Shunyin continued, "Our family is going to buy a house in Jing City."
Weng Hefeng and Pan Kexia nearly dropped their jaws in shock, "Buying a house in Jing City, that costs a fortune, how can our family afford it."
"Your grandfather left behind precious pills, and this time, someone happened to need them, we sold two." Yi Shunyin spoke in a particularly low voice, "Six thousand bucks."
"Now—" Both Weng Hefeng and Pan Kexia gasped, six thousand bucks, what a concept, an ordinary worker couldn’t make this money in a lifetime, and if farming, a whole family couldn’t earn it despite hard toil, two pills worth this sum!
Originally, Weng Hefeng and Pan Kexia didn’t know about these pills; this time, due to Xie Chenyan’s illness, Liu Huilan brought them along, seeing if they’d be of use during doctor visits.
Previously, hearing that the pills had been left by the grandfather long passed, they wondered if such old pills were edible, unexpectedly facing themselves with reality.
"Didn’t expect within this lifetime to buy a house in Jing City." After the shock, Weng Hefeng felt nothing but joy.
Pan Kexia felt the same, grateful that she tamed her temper and adjusted her character, unexpectedly discovering such fortune in her husband’s family.
With confirmation, Yi Weiliang returned directly to Beiluo Lane to share the good news with Liu Huilan and the others.
"Little sister, we’re buying the house, while we’re still not returning, we can see it firsthand." Yi Weiliang was somewhat excited.
"I’ll have Cheng inquire, then we’ll check it together." Yi Roujing said, "We’ll sign the contract tonight, big brother and I will go together."
