Chapter 810: 207: Be a worldly person who drinks alcohol and eats meat. Chapter 810: 207: Be a worldly person who drinks alcohol and eats meat. Hearing this, Wu Lanâs smile brightened even more, âOf course, it counts! Auntie, have you made up your mind?â
Grandma Wu hesitated, then said, âI still need to think it over.â
Wu Lan then picked up another Egg Cake and stuffed it into Grandma Wuâs hand, âAuntie, you really should think it over. My brother has such good conditions. If Yanyun marries him, sheâll just be responsible for giving birth to a child for my brother. All she needs to do is take good care of my mom and the two kids, she doesnât have to do any other hard work! She can just enjoy her easy life at home!â
Wu Lan had a younger brother named Wu Qiang, thirty-five years old this year. He had been widowed two years earlier and hadnât found a suitable match, so when Wu Lan saw that Wu Yanyun was quite good-looking and still a maiden, she wanted to introduce Wu Yanyun to Wu Qiang.
Grandma Wu continued, âLanzi, how old is your brother this year? How many people are in his family? I didnât quite catch it last time; tell me about it in detail this time.â
Wu Lan poured a cup of tea for Grandma Wu, âMy brother is thirty-five this year. That dead wife of his left behind two daughters, the oldest is 9 this year, and the younger is 7! Then thereâs just my mom at home, no one else. Donât worry, my brotherâs household is very simple. After Yanyun marries him, certainly no one will be able to bully her.â
Grandma Wu frowned, âAt thirty-five years old, thatâs a bit old, and he has two children. Our Jinshu is also only thirty-five years oldâŠâ
Wu Lan continued, âAuntie, donât look at my brotherâs age, but he has good conditions. You see our family is doing pretty well, right? My brotherâs conditions are even better than mine! My brother owns thirty apartments! The house you are renting now, just in front of that, belongs to my brother. Auntie, if this goes through, I can talk to my brother about giving you that house in front. He has so many apartments, he wouldnât miss one.â
Wu Lan spoke with the confidence of wealth, and Grandma Wu was astounded, asking hurriedly, âThe two-story western-style house with a yard just in front?â
âThatâs right.â Wu Lan nodded, âThatâs the two-story western-style house with a yard. Iâm telling you, that house is well-insulated against the heat of summer and the cold of winter, itâs not any worse than this house weâre in.â
Grandma Wu had always envied the owner of that western-style house with a yard. She never imagined that it belonged to Wu Lanâs brother.
Getting a house upon a successful arrangement, it did seem that Wu Lanâs brother really was well-off.
Wu Lan, observing the change in Grandma Wuâs expression, added, âAuntie, Dalong and Erlong havenât started school yet, have they? How can boys not go to school these days? Without an education, theyâll struggle to find wives in the future!â
Wu Dalong and Wu Erlong were of school age, yet neither was attending school.
It wasnât for lack of trying, but their familyâs financial situation couldnât keep up.
Grandma Wu was worried too.
After all, they were boys â what if they truly couldnât find wives when the time came?
It must be said that Wu Lan had precisely struck Grandma Wuâs most sensitive spot.
Watching Grandma Wuâs expression, Wu Lan pressed on, âAuntie, even if not for anything else, you should consider it for the kidsâ sakes. Brother Jinshu and his wife have been in Beijing for many years and still donât have their own place to live. If Yanyun marries my brother, not only can he ensure Dalong and Erlong go to school, but he can also solve your housing problem. With a house, you can also move your household registration here, and your family will become locals in Beijing. Then, young girls will be throwing themselves at you â why worry about Dalong and Erlong not finding wives?â
The terms Wu Lan offered were too favorable â Grandma Wu couldnât help but be moved.
Her two grandsons would be able to attend school, they would have a western-style house to live in, and become Beijing locals â this was the life she had longed for in her dreams!
Yet she was, after all, a relative of the brideâs side â she needed to maintain some decorum. It wasnât like her granddaughter couldnât find a husband.
Grandma Wu took a bite of the Egg Cake and said, âAlthough thatâs what you say, your brother is looking for a second marriage and already has two children, whereas our Yanyun is still an untouched girl.â
Wu Lan patted Grandma Wuâs hand, âAuntie, I am someone who doesnât beat around the bush and I donât speak falsely. If what I say sounds unpleasant, please donât be angry. If your Yanyun wasnât a maiden, with my brotherâs conditions, he really wouldnât consider Yanyun at all!â
Grandma Wu choked.
Although Wu Lanâs words were a bit harsh, they were indeed the truth.
Wu Lanâs brother had superior conditions, wealth, and property; what did Wu Yanyun have? Wu Yanyun was nothing more than a few years younger than Wu Lanâs brother!
