“What nonsense are you talking about!” Zheng Juan said as she looked at Gao Hai angrily.
“It’s none of your business!” After Gao Hai berated Zheng Juan, he turned to look at Gao Lin with a smile and said, “However, this house does not belong to us now. It belongs to the government. Even if you want to get it back, you might not be able to do it.”
“No worries. If it belongs to the government, then I know what to do next. I won’t trouble Fourth Uncle with regard to this matter.” After saying that, Gao Lin invited everyone to start eating.
Zheng Juan had been secretly observing Gao Lin and Qiao Mei. Who exactly were these two people? They even dared to eye things which belonged to the government. It seemed that they were quite influential. Did this mean that her family could also get rich too?
“Xiao Lin, how many children do you have? Why did you only bring your grandniece with you this time?” Zheng Juan asked tentatively.
“My family isn’t doing too well. I only have one son and one grandson left. My son is disabled, so I only brought my grandniece this time. I want to take a look at my hometown. No matter where I go, I must not forget my roots,” Gao Lin said.
“Then what kind of work do you do now? How much money can you earn a month?” Zheng Juan continued to ask.Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m
Qiao Mei put down her bowl and chopsticks and said, “Fourth
Great-grandaunt, why are you asking about this? Don’t tell me you want to go overseas with us?”
“Come on then! Let me see how capable your family is! Let me see how capable you are!” the neighbor said disdainfully.
“Just you wait!” After saying that, Zheng Juan slammed the door and went back into the room.
“I’m waiting! We’re all waiting! Let’s see how your family is going to make us leave this place!” the neighbor shouted mockingly.
After closing the door, Zheng Juan sat on the floor and started crying. As she cried, she kept talking about how difficult it had been for her to stay by Gao Hai’s side all these years. It made Gao Hai feel very annoyed.
“Enough already. Isn’t the title deed for this house still in our hands? If Gao Lin wants to buy the house, he has to buy it from us. When the time comes, he will have to accept whatever price you quote. Once we get the money, won’t we be able to do whatever we want?” Gao Hai said.
“Yes! You’re right! But what if they find out about what happened back then?” Zheng Juan asked fearfully.
“What’s there to be afraid of? Don’t tell me those relatives can crawl out from underground and tell Gao Lin about what happened?” Gao Hai said nonchalantly.
“You’re right... Let’s do as you say!” Zheng Juan said.
On the way back, Gao Lin and Qiao Mei discussed the issue of the house. For
Gao Lin, it was more about the memories than anything else. He just wanted to own the house as a keepsake..
