Reborn as an 80s-aged woman, her unfilial son begs for forgiveness on his knees.
Chapter 30 Buying a Courtyard: Many People Think It's Too Expensive
Zhang Wenying took a deep breath, turned around, and left the courtyard.
She was worried about the old lady going there alone.
Zhang Wenying watched the old lady enter the eldest son's courtyard before turning around and going home.
As I walked to the alley entrance, I met Sister Zhang, who had just returned from outside.
"Sister Zhang, are you taking a walk outside to digest your food?"
Zhang Wenying took the initiative to greet him.
"Yeah, I'm so angry, I came out to calm down."
Sister Zhang looked exhausted.
The eldest daughter-in-law is always throwing pots and pans around the house; who can stand that?
Sometimes she really wanted to give the job to her eldest daughter-in-law so she could have some peace and quiet.
But remembering Zhang Wenying's words, she held back.
The eldest son is a coward; his wife is causing him so much trouble, and he doesn't dare utter a single word.
They even gave her a hard time, saying she didn't know how to be a mother-in-law and only knew how to make things difficult for her daughter-in-law.
Is it because she and her daughter-in-law have a falling out?
She and her husband cover all the household expenses.
The elderly couple manages their grandson's tuition fees and monthly utility bills.
That family of four basically eats for free at home; sometimes she even has to cook when she comes back.
She throws and smashes the dishes even when you're just washing them. Who wouldn't be angry?
She never liked her eldest son's wife from the start, but her eldest son seemed to be bewitched, insisting on marrying such a troublemaker, and now the family is in constant turmoil.
She's made up her mind; she won't give the job to anyone.
Zhang Wenying is right; they were all like this when they were able to make money.
If I lose my job, I don't know what kind of treatment that woman will give me.
"Sister Zhang, if it doesn't work out, let's split up the family."
You have three sons, not just one.
Now that the family has separated, you won't have to put up with their attitudes, and the house will be much quieter.
"Why!"
Sister Zhang sighed.
"How easy is it to say?"
This small courtyard at home was left by our ancestors.
Even if it's not as nice as an apartment building, at least we can have a place to live.
If we relocate all the people, where will they live?
If they want to separate the family, shouldn't they at least be given a place to live?
But my husband and I have only saved less than two thousand yuan in our whole lives. We gave it to our eldest son, so what are we going to do with the rest of the children?
Let's just make do for now.
I'm just waiting to see if the eldest son gets a house so they can leave as soon as possible; out of sight, out of mind.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wenying didn't say anything more.
She shouldn't meddle too much in other people's affairs.
Thinking of something, Zhang Wenying asked, "Sister Zhang, do you know if anyone in this area has a house for sale?"
Sister Zhang is the know-it-all of this area; you can't go wrong asking her.
"You want to buy a house?"
Sister Zhang was very surprised.
"Don't you have a place to stay?"
"I have a place to stay."
I bought this house for my eldest daughter.
You have no idea how shameless the Han family is.
Han Jun only knows how to help his widowed sister-in-law all day long. He gives all his wages to his widowed sister-in-law and nephew, and treats my daughter like she's nothing.
Therefore, I support my daughter divorcing Han Jun and coming back to live with me.
But I was worried my daughter wouldn't feel comfortable living at home, so I was thinking of buying her a yard.
Their area is also within the demolition zone.
It will just be a year or two later than the shops.
As long as she has money, she buys more houses.
If the house is demolished in the future, the compensation will amount to a considerable sum.
Thinking of Zhang Wenying's daughter's situation, Sister Zhang sighed, then smiled and said, "You've come to the right person."
There's a family named Liu on our back street who's been transferred for work and is currently looking to sell their house.
But his house is a single-story building, so while many people look at it, few actually buy it, and he's getting anxious.
They also said that Haicheng is thousands of kilometers away from Beijing, and they won't take any of the large pieces of furniture from the house. The buyer can do whatever they want with it.
That courtyard is about the same size as your old house, and it costs five hundred yuan.
Many people think it's too expensive.
If you'd like to buy it, I'll take you there to see it right now.
Zhang Wenying's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.
"Then let's hurry up and go."
We can't let anyone else beat us to this.
The two quickly went to the back street.
The yard of this house is also very well maintained.
There are three main rooms in the courtyard, complete with a kitchen and toilet.
There's also a small vegetable garden in the yard, where tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, and peppers are growing vigorously.
The owners of the courtyard were a middle-aged couple.
"Xiao Liu, come and take a look at the yard."
Xiao Liu's wife is the younger sister of Sister Zhang's colleague, which is why Sister Zhang was able to find out about the news so quickly.
Mr. and Mrs. Liu warmly welcomed them into the house and poured them tea.
Zhang Wenying immediately took a liking to the courtyard and asked directly, "Xiao Liu, how much are you asking for this courtyard?"
Seeing that Zhang Wenying was a straightforward person, Xiao Liu didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Five hundred yuan, not a penny less."
I don't want any of the large pieces of furniture in this yard, like wardrobes, beds, tables, chairs, and benches. You can keep them all.
As Sister Zhang has already mentioned, our job transfer was urgent, and it wouldn't be cost-effective to move all this furniture there, so we simply left it all behind.
This courtyard has a great location, close to the vegetable market, and the bus stop is just a few steps away, making it convenient to go anywhere.
"If you buy it, it's suitable for yourself or for your daughter to live in in the future."
Zhang Wenying thought to herself, five hundred yuan is indeed not cheap, but compared to the value of this courtyard, especially the possibility of future demolition, this amount of money is nothing.
She immediately agreed: "Okay, five hundred it is. We'll go and complete the formalities tomorrow."
Mr. and Mrs. Liu were overjoyed that Zhang Wenying agreed so readily and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Sister Zhang was also somewhat surprised.
I never expected Zhang Wenying to be so rich; she just pulled out five hundred yuan without hesitation.
Zhang Wenying was happy and thanked Sister Zhang before heading towards the Han family's house.
Her daughter said she wanted to go back to the Han family to discuss the divorce, so she had to hurry back and check on things.
As soon as I entered the Han family's courtyard, I heard Han's mother's shrill voice coming from inside the house: "You're a barren hen, yet you want to take a share of our Han family's property? Dream on!"
Let me tell you, you're not getting a divorce from my son!
You've been married into this family for so many years and haven't even laid a single egg. We, the Han family, are already being kind by not disliking you. How dare you even mention divorce?
If you know what's good for you, stay put and serve my son well. In the future, our Han family will still be able to give you food to eat.
Otherwise, I'll break your legs, kick you out of the Han family, and you won't get a single penny!
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wenying's anger flared up instantly. She kicked open the courtyard gate, pointed at Han's mother, and said coldly, "Watch your mouth. What do you mean by a hen that can't lay eggs?"
My daughter is a perfectly good young woman. She married into your Han family and didn't eat a single meal off your house. She worked hard from dawn till dusk to take care of the household chores. Is this how you treat her?
This marriage is off to a divorce. Not a single penny of the assets will be taken away. I'd like to see who dares to lay a finger on my daughter!
Upon hearing her mother's voice, Zhang Xiulan's eyes immediately reddened. She stood up and rushed over, tightly grasping Zhang Wenying's hand: "Mom, you've finally come."
