Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Seeing Wang Dong's gloomy face and no response, Yi Zhonghai spoke again with an anxious face: "Besides, the house I live in now was owned before Qin Huairu and I got married. It was not bought after marriage. Qin Huairu has no share in it at all. I can decide on my own to sell it to you."

“I learned a little bit about it out there.”

"Recently, the housing prices in Sijiu City have risen a lot. My house can be sold for one thousand yuan at the current price. The price will definitely continue to rise in the future."

"As long as you give me eight hundred dollars now, I will agree to sell the house to you and transfer it to your name immediately, but you have to wait a hundred years before I can take the house away."

"As for where Qin Huairu and Banggeng will live in the future, that has nothing to do with me."

"After I married Qin Huairu in the past few years, outsiders saw me as someone who was taken care of by Qin Huairu, who took good care of me."

“But the truth is not what it seems.”

"Qin Huairu didn't serve me for free out of our relationship as husband and wife. She took at least five dollars from my living expenses and pension money every month, and sometimes even fifteen dollars."

"In the past few years alone, they've taken five or six hundred dollars from me."

"Including my future retirement allowance, Qin Huairu can earn at least a thousand yuan from me."

"As a couple, I have been polite to her. When I die in the future, I will have every reason to ignore her."

Hearing this, Wang Dong was moved.

Of course, what moved him was not the house where Yi Zhonghai lived now, but the despair and helplessness of the Jia family if they lost this house in the future.

The reason why Qin Huairu chose to marry Yi Zhonghai, who was two or three years older than her, was nothing more than Yi Zhonghai's current house and the savings he had.

When Yi Zhonghai dies in the future, most of the pension he saved will be spent by him, leaving almost nothing for Qin Huairu.

If she lost even her house, Qin Huairu would have no place to cry.

After plotting against Yi Zhonghai for decades, in the end, all his efforts were in vain and he gained nothing.

Qin Huairu must have been extremely desperate and aggrieved at that time.

This is definitely the scene that Wang Dong wants to see the most.

Yi Zhonghai didn't know what Wang Dong was thinking. Seeing the resolute expression on his face slowly being replaced by hesitation, he immediately realized that Wang Dong was moved.

Strike while the iron is hot and quickly answer: "Dongzi..."

"If you think 800 yuan is too much, you can give me 750 yuan... but you must give me all 750 yuan in cash at the moment of transfer."

Hearing this, Wang Dong no longer hesitated and answered readily: "Okay... I agree to this."

"If you believe me, we can go to the street to transfer the ownership tomorrow."

"But I won't sign any agreement with you."

"When you are a hundred years old, I will immediately arrange for someone to come and take over the house."

Yi Zhonghai did not have any doubts about Wang Dong's words.

In his eyes, Wang Dong could earn at least one thousand yuan a day by running such a big restaurant, so there was no need to cheat himself for a few hundred yuan.

Nodding immediately: "Okay..."

"I'll go with you to transfer the property tomorrow."

…………

The east wing is particularly lively tonight.

Eight dishes and one soup were placed on the table, exuding a very strong aroma.

Everyone couldn't help swallowing after seeing it.

Especially my sister-in-law, who often eats in the school cafeteria during this period, is drooling at the sight of the tempting twice-cooked pork, beer duck wrapped in red oil, and braised fish.

When her father-in-law Chen Dehui picked up the bowl and chopsticks, Chen Li started to eat like a whirlwind, and only put down the bowl and chopsticks with reluctance when her belly was full. She sighed while chewing the duck meat in her mouth.

"Brother-in-law...the food you cook is better than Mom's...Luckily you don't cook every day, otherwise I would have become a fat man."

The father-in-law directly hit Chen Li on the head with chopsticks and scolded: "So much food can't shut your mouth."

"Your brother-in-law is so busy every day, how can he have time to cook?"

"If you think your mother's cooking is bad, go learn it yourself if you have the ability."

"It just so happens that your brother-in-law opened a big restaurant with several chefs. Why don't you go to the restaurant's kitchen to intern for a few months and learn some cooking skills at the same time."

The sister-in-law immediately shook her head like a rattle: "I'm not going..."

"I am now a deputy section-level cadre..."

"It would be a waste of my talent to intern in my brother-in-law's kitchen. I want to be an official in the future, so I don't want to work in the kitchen."

"Even if I really have to work in my brother-in-law's restaurant, I want to be a manager."

"Brother-in-law..."

"Do you think I could be the manager of your restaurant?"

Wang Dong smiled and replied, "It will be no problem for you to be a financial manager. After all, you were also an officer in the financial department of the steel mill. You should know the ins and outs of it very well. You don't even need an internship."

"But I still suggest you become a cadre."

"With my brother-in-law making money outside, our family will definitely not be short of money in the future."

“But if you don’t have power, no matter how much money you have, you won’t be able to keep it.”

"With money and power, our family's life will get better and better, and we don't have to worry about others being jealous..."

"Oh yeah... I'm going to tell you something, but don't spread it around. Just keep it to yourself."

"Yi Zhonghai, the middle school student, came to me today and wanted me to pay for the house he's living in now."

"I agreed, and he promised to sell the house to me for seven hundred and fifty dollars, and to go to the street to transfer the ownership tomorrow morning."

"But before he dies, let's just treat that house as if it still belongs to Yi Zhonghai."

"When Yi Zhonghai dies in the future, I will take back the house."

Father-in-law Chen Dehui frowned immediately, looked at Wang Dong with a worried look and analyzed: "Dongzi..."

"You shouldn't have agreed to Yi Zhonghai. It's obvious that he is plotting against you and the Jia family. He wants to see you and the Jia family fighting over the house he lives in now."

Wang Dong faced his father-in-law's worried gaze and answered confidently: "Dad..."

"I understand all the issues you mentioned..."

"But the fact that Yi Zhonghai sold the house to me privately really has nothing to do with Qin Huairu, even though they are a couple."

"After all, the west wing of the central courtyard belonged to Yi Zhonghai before they got married. It was Yi Zhonghai's pre-marital property. Yi Zhonghai is fully qualified to deal with that room himself."

"And do you think that in 10 or 20 years, the Jia family will be qualified to compete with me for the house that Yi Zhonghai lives in now?"

"To be honest, if the time comes and the Jia family refuses to give up the house, I have plenty of ways to deal with them."

"Besides, if that time really comes, we would have already moved away and no longer live here. Even if the Jia family wanted to take revenge on us, we wouldn't be able to find anyone."

"And I also want to see what Qin Huairu's expression will be when she finds out that the house she lives in now belongs to me."

"I have been planning for my whole life, but in the end, it's all in vain." (End of this chapter)
