Chapter 508 The house is given to the granddaughter
Xiaobai comforted his daughter-in-law and tried his best to make her happy.
Then he thought about it, put his arms around his wife and said, "How about we go out to play tomorrow? You had something to do in October last year, so you couldn't go on a long trip with me..."
As Xiao Bai said this, Lan Shu actually saw a trace of pity under his mature and steady appearance.
She thought about last October, she had already planned to go on vacation with Xiaobai and her son and daughter as a family of four, but she was called by her adoptive mother at the last minute——
During those days, she stayed with her adoptive mother and helped her adoptive mother deal with the family relationship between her and her second brother's family.
But as it turned out, the adoptive mother didn't care about her own good at all. Just after the New Year, she brought her relatives to the house, using her identity to force herself to break the bottom line.
Fortunately, after what happened this time, she won't have to compromise on everything in the future.
She has made it very clear that arranging jobs for relatives in her adoptive mother's family consumes the affection between mother and daughter.
After this incident, she probably won't go to Linjiang City for a long time.
The situation was just as Lan Shu thought. This year, she had not seen her adoptive mother again.
…
In 1997, the economy grew rapidly, and by 1998, people's salary increases were absolutely astonishing!
For some workers in big cities, the salary has mostly exceeded 800, and for some more professional jobs, the average salary is upwards of 1,000.
As the economy develops, as wages get higher and higher, money also depreciates.
Pork used to cost a few cents per pound, but now it costs several yuan.
But the prices of clothes that used to be in the teens or 20s have not increased much now.
In the past few years, Lan Xinya still sells clothes in a front house on the street near Huamei Shopping Mall.
She has also made some money over the years, expanding from one storefront room to two, and has a lot of clothing inventory in the store, all of which are her capital!
After the level of economic development improved and people's wages increased, her business was doing much better than before.
As the store purchased goods and shipments increased, her monthly profit doubled to triple.
But even so, her average profit of 1,450 yuan a month is really not much.
Her store employs clerks, whose monthly salary is 550 yuan, which is far lower than the average salary of workers here in Kyoto, but fortunately there are still people willing to do this job.
Therefore, excluding the salary paid to the clerk, Lan Xinya's actual monthly income is less than one thousand yuan.
This little money can only cover her daily expenses. If she saves a few hundred yuan, she will end up with only a few thousand yuan after working for a year.
Thousands of dollars today are different from those in the past.
Since Lan Xinya sold her house, she has always wanted to buy it back.
But with this one wish, she opened a store for several years, but the money on hand was getting further and further away from buying a house——
Seeing the house prices rising year by year, Lan Xinya regrets her guts!
She shouldn't have believed others' words and sold her house to raise money for investment.
Otherwise, the current appreciation of the house will exceed the interest on the original investment!
But it's too late to regret now.
When Lan Xinya was anxious about buying a house.
In the old house of the Lan family, old Lan, who was paralyzed in bed, had a recurrence of his illness and was admitted to the hospital again!
Old Lan is already over eighty years old. This time he goes to the hospital, the chance of him coming out alive is very small.
Lan Shengli, as a son, stays in front of his father every day.
He probably had a premonition that the old man might not be able to survive this time, so he spread the news——
The next day, Lan Dazhuang and Lan Sibo both came to the hospital.
Lan Xiuming asked for leave and was delayed for a while, but he is on his way and will probably arrive tomorrow.
Before Lan Xiuming set off, he thought that Old Lan was their grandfather after all. Although they rarely met and were not close to each other, at the end of his life, they had to give him a ride.
So he told his mother the news.
…
In Linjiang City, Chang Chunfang said she was not surprised when she learned that the old man was dying, but that was a lie.
As the daughter-in-law, she really should make her final appearance.
In addition, her son called her this time, so she followed him to Kyoto.
It's a pity that even if they went there, they didn't get to see Old Man Lan for the last time!
It only took Old Man Lan three days from the time he got sick to the time he entered the hospital to become mentally lethargic, and he woke up less and less.
By the time Lan Xiuming and Chang Chunfang arrived at the hospital, Old Lan's brain waves had become a straight line.
And before he was declared dead by the doctor, in the last conscious moment of his life, Old Man Lan had a brief moment of recovery.
Under the witness of the doctor, he slurred his speech and struggled to explain his last words——
He said, "My house will be left to my granddaughter in the future."
Old Man Lan's words were indeed biased, but neither Lan Dazhuang nor Lan Sibo had any objections.
Not to mention Old Man Lan, even the good things they have want to give to my little sister!
So Lan Shengli nodded and agreed to his father.
Originally, the fact that the Lan family's old residence was to be given to Lan Shu was already a certainty.
But somehow, on the day Old Lan was buried, Lan Xinya, whom the Lan family had not seen for many years, suddenly appeared at the funeral!
"I heard that my grandfather was going to give me the house, so I came here specifically to see him off today." Lan Xinya said, kneeling on the spot in front of the grave of old man Lan, whom she had never met before, and started crying loudly.
Mourning comes——
This cry was so pitiful that to outsiders, she really looked like she was being filial to her granddaughter!
This scene made Lan Shengli and the three brothers of the Lan family, who were also at the grave, stunned!
Lan Xinya just said that grandpa wants to give her the house?
Why is Lan Xinya so embarrassed?!
Also, how did she know that grandpa was buried today?
After a moment of confusion, the father and son all turned their gazes towards Chang Chunfang!
"Mom, you told Lan Xinya that today is the day when grandpa is buried?" Lan Xiuming asked.
"Grandpa wants to give the house to his granddaughter. Didn't you also say this?" The expression on Lan Sibo's face was hard to explain.
If his guesses are true, then Lan Sibo really doesn’t know what his mother is thinking!
On the opposite side, after Chang Chunfang came to Kyoto this time, she did contact Lan Xinya again.
Because during this year, she finally discovered Shushu's alienation from her.
She felt bitter in her heart and couldn't express it.
In addition, Chang Chunfang thought that Xinya was the old man's granddaughter after all, so she could just explain such a big thing like her death.
As for the fact that the old man wanted to give the house to his granddaughter, Chang Chunfang would certainly not say anything about it.
But after Lan Xinya learned that the Lan family, who seemed to be from the countryside, actually had a house in Kyoto, her first thought was of course that as the biological daughter of the Lan family, she would definitely be able to get a share of the property in the future!
As a result, when investigating the real estate situation, she accidentally learned that the grandfather she had never met actually said that he wanted to give the house to his granddaughter.
Aren’t you his biological granddaughter?!
Even though Lan Xinya knew that the old man's 'granddaughter' should be referring to Lan Shu, she felt that she needed this house more than Lan Shu!
So Lan Xinya came prepared today. She will never give up until she gets this house!
