A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 236 Buying a House
"Hehe, let's discuss it."

Before the two old people could figure it out, Yun Linhe picked up Yun Jiao and the group walked to the other side.

Mr. Wu: "They've taken very good care of this house; it's worth buying."

"Most of the furniture is made of huanghuali wood, and the thousand-work canopy bed is made of red sandalwood. The house is also made of sturdy materials. Just those pieces of furniture and that thousand-work canopy bed alone are worth more than 20,000 yuan on the market."

Most importantly, the wood used to make furniture is very precious.

Moreover, judging from its craftsmanship and age, it could be considered an antique.

The final conclusion is that the 50,000 yuan was indeed sold at a low price.

However, there was one thing that Mr. Mu didn't understand.

"They should wait a little longer and patiently find buyers. They could sell those furniture pieces for a good amount of money already. Why are they in such a hurry?"

Old Wu said, "Why don't we ask?"

They coughed and went back inside.

Old Wu didn't keep him in suspense and asked directly, "As far as I know, you two are selling this house because you're going to stay with your son. But you should go there first and have someone help you sell it. It'll just take a little longer, but the house and furniture will definitely fetch a good price. Why are you in such a hurry? Are you sure there won't be any problems after you buy this house?"

Old Liu said irritably, "Buy if you want, leave if you don't."

With that awful temper, he doesn't seem like someone who wants to sell a house at all.

However, the old woman beside him pressed down on his hand and said in a calm voice.

"My son and daughter-in-law urgently need money over there."

She sat gracefully on the stone bench.

Looking at the house, his eyes were filled with reluctance and regret.

“This house is our family’s last property. We don’t have any relatives left here, and we don’t feel comfortable leaving it to anyone. Our son is studying abroad. Although he didn’t say it, we could tell from the weariness in his voice that he’s having a hard time there.”

“We, the old couple, don’t know how much time we have left. He is our last child, and we want to spend more time with him in his final days. We will use the money from selling the house to ease his financial burden.”

The old man looked into the distance, his voice calm yet tinged with sadness: "My wife and I have two daughters and three sons, but none of them survived. However, it was because of them, and because we gave away all our wealth to help the right people at that time, that our house and the items inside were able to be preserved intact during that special period."

Although she didn't say it explicitly, at this moment, a little thought would make it clear that their children might be martyrs, or at least one of them, and who they had helped by giving away their entire fortune.

At this moment, Old Wu, Old Mu, and Grandpa Yun all felt a deep respect for the couple.

"You guys..." No one knew what to say to comfort them.

Five children, four of them died. This is too tragic.

Old Liu remained silent, his mood somber, while the old woman smiled gently at them.

"I've said too much, so please don't think I'm trying to gain sympathy. At this price, I just hope that whoever buys this house will treat it and those old items well."

"We're buying this house."

Grandma Yun made the decision: "It's worth it."

The house and its furniture are already worth more than 50,000.

Yun Jiao nodded: "Mhm."

Do you want cash?

The two elderly people seemed dazed for a moment, then nodded.

"It will be all right."

"Can we wait a few more days? We need to pack for a few days before we leave."

Grandma Yun: "Of course you can take your time packing, we're not in a hurry."

It will take some time to complete the procedures for transferring the property ownership.

Grandma Yun sent her two sons and Yun Jiao along.

With so many of them, going in such a grand procession would be too conspicuous.

They didn't haggle at all over the price of 50,000.

With the deal settled here, we'll postpone our visit to the other four-courtyard house until we've completed the necessary paperwork here. When filling out the household registration form, Yunjiao had her parents do it.

Yun Linhai and Shen Yunlian initially refused, after all, it was their daughter who bought the house, so what would it mean if it were registered in their names?

But they refused, and Yun Jiao remained silent, just staring at them longingly.

She looked so pitiful, like she was about to cry.

"Jiaojiao, why do you insist on registering the house in our names? Registering it in your name is just as good."

Yun Jiao shook her head: "No."

She expressed her ambitions.

"I want to buy a big island and build a super beautiful house on it."

"hiss……"

This wish is too grand; the Yun family looked at her in shock.

No, are you serious?
Yun Jiao nodded affirmatively under their shocked gazes.

Everyone:…………

Is this a wish that an ordinary child should have?
In the end, the house was registered under the names of Yun Linhai and Shen Yunlian.

But the two parents were worried.

An island, how much would that cost?

They also want to build big houses on it...

To fulfill their daughter's grand ambitions, they'll have to work hard and try to earn more money before she grows up.

Although they clamored that they didn't want it, when they actually got the property certificate in their hands, Yun Linhai and Shen Yunlian were so excited that their eyes turned red.

My heart was pounding uncontrollably.

They... now have a house in the capital.

It's still that same big courtyard house.

Such a big house, a house that costs tens of thousands.

They actually live in houses worth tens of thousands...

At this moment, these thoughts kept flashing through my mind.

Finally, Yun Linhai couldn't resist and hugged Yun Jiao, kissing her chubby little face several times.

“My dear daughter, I really… I really don’t know what to say. How did I get so lucky to be your father? In other families, the father buys a house for his daughter, but in our family… in our family, the daughter buys a house for her father, and it’s such a big house, worth tens of thousands. It feels like a dream.”

As he spoke, he pinched himself hard, making him wince in pain.

"It's not a dream!"

His silly behavior amused the rest of the family, and Shen Yunlian rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.

He scooped Yun Jiao up in his arms and said, "What are you doing? Doesn't Jiao Jiao hate your drool?"

"Hehe, hehe... I'm just too happy."

Yun Xiaowu was also excited: "Father, that big house will be ours from now on?"

Yun Linhai: "To be precise, it's me, your mother, and Jiaojiao. When you boys grow up, you'll have to earn your own money to buy houses."

He's willing to raise his daughter for life, but he'd rather not have his sons.

He kicked his son out of the house because he was so young and didn't work hard, instead relying on his parents!
Yun Xiaowu and Yun Xiaoliu were not disappointed by these words.

“Then what’s yours is also ours. We’re family, so why are you being so formal, Dad?”

Yun Linhai: ...You really don't stand on ceremony!
