Chapter 67: Donât Wake Up Early If There Are No Benefits
The room fell silent. Looking at the few glasses of water on the coffee table, Jian Ai sighed.
The phenomenon of favoring a man over a woman had existed since ancient times, but Jian Ai never expected such a custom to be thoroughly implemented in her own home. It was going to be a new millennium, yet there were still such old-fashioned people. If oneâs son shouted out that he was cold, one would skin their daughter to make a set of clothes for him.
Jian Ai did not think that there was anything wrong with what she had just done. To Jian Ai, all these people related by blood were not much different from strangers. One would not wake up early unless they had benefits to gain. If not for the benefits, she would not have bought their lousy houses for no reason. This was also what she had learned as a businesswoman in her previous life.
Therefore, no matter what happened in the future, she would not regret her actions today. She did it for this family, for her mother and brother.
On the other hand, as soon as they left Jian Aiâs house, Wang Yunfa said to the old lady, âMom, looks like Sister made a lot of money over the years. She offered two hundred thousand yuan just like that.â
The old lady glared at Wang Yunfa. âItâs not like you donât know where she works. Who isnât a big boss working in one of those places?â
âThatâs true. Sisterâs been working there for so many years. A financier must have given her quite a bit of money.â Wang Yunfa curled his lips and looked down on her.
âYou go back first. Iâll go tell your brother about this.â The old lady waved her hand and turned to leave, but Wang Yunfa grabbed her.
âMom, MomâŠâ Wang Yunfa pulled the old lady towards the tree and lowered his voice.â Do you think my brother can give me the deed for free? If he knows that Sister is willing to fork out two hundred thousand yuan, wonât he want to split it in half? â
âWhy? Do you want to keep it all for yourself?â The old lady glared at him and said unhappily, âThat house belongs to your brother in the first place. If you sell it, youâll have to give half of it!â
âNo, doesnât that mean I only have one hundred thousand yuan left? I wonât have a cent left after buying a new house.â Wang Yunfaâs face twitched, and he looked reluctant.
âThen what do you mean? You want your brother to give you the house for free?â The old lady frowned and asked.
Wang Yunfa chuckled and said in a coquettish tone, âMom⊠My brotherâs company has assets worth more than a million yuan. Would he care about such a lousy yard? Besides, this yard has been empty for so many years. He canât sell it, and he wonât be living in it anymore. Tell him to give this to me as a wedding gift, okay?â
âBesides, you asked him for money before, but he didnât give it to you, right? Canât he give me this empty house now?â
In the end, the meaning behind Wang Yunfaâs words was that he wanted to take the two hundred thousand yuan for himself. However, it wouldnât be good for him to say this to his brother, so he could only act spoiled towards the old lady.
Although the old lady doted on her elder son the most, her younger son was also a piece of meat on the back of her hand. Wang Yunfa used both hard and soft tactics on her, and he was indeed finally getting married. The old ladyâs heart couldnât help but soften. She nodded and said, âAlright, alright. Iâll go to your elder brother to ask him for this deed. But you have to be more tight-lipped. If your brother finds out that you sold this house to your sister for so much money, heâll blame me.â
Wang Yunfa was delighted when he heard that. He quickly nodded. âMom, donât worry. I definitely wonât say a word! When I get married, Iâll quickly give birth to a grandson for you to be happy about!â
âThatâs more like it!â When the old lady heard the word âgrandson,â she was delighted.
