Chapter 508 House for granddaughter

  Xiaobai comforted his daughter-in-law and tried her best to make her happy.

  Then he thought for a while, put his arms around his wife and said, "Why don't we go out to play tomorrow? Last October, you were busy and couldn't go out with me..."

  As Xiaobai said, Lan Shu actually saw a trace of pity under his mature and stable appearance.

   She thought of last October, she had already planned to go on vacation with Xiaobai and her children and family of four, but she was temporarily called by her adoptive mother—

  In those few days, she was by her adoptive mother's side, trying her best to please her to help her adoptive mother deal with her family relationship with her second brother's family.

   But in the end, the adoptive mother didn't think about her own good at all. Just after the new year, she brought her relatives to the door and used her identity to force herself to break the bottom line.

   Fortunately, after this incident, she won't have to accommodate everything in the future.

  She has made it very clear that arranging jobs for the relatives of the adoptive mother's family consumes the family relationship between their 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 didn't meet her adoptive mother again.

  …

  In 1997, the economy grew rapidly. In 1998, people's wages increased absolutely astonishingly!

  The wages of some workers in big cities have mostly exceeded 800, and the average salary of some more professional jobs is above 1,000.

  Economic development, as wages get higher and higher, money also depreciates.

   Pork that used to cost a few cents a catty has now risen to a few dollars.

  However, the price of clothes that used to be in the tens or twenties has not increased much now.

  In the past few years, Lan Xinya still sells clothes in front rooms on the street near Huamei Shopping Mall.

  She has also made some money over the years. From the previous one front room, it has been expanded to two. The store has a lot of clothes in stock, all of which are her capital!

  After the level of economic development has improved and people's wages have risen, her business has become much easier than before.

  The purchases and shipments in the store increased, and her monthly profit doubled to three times later.

   But even so, her average monthly profit of 1,450 is really not much.

   There are shop assistants in her store, and the monthly salary of the shop assistant is 550 yuan, which is far lower than the average salary of workers in Kyoto, but fortunately, there are still people willing to do this job.

  So excluding the wages paid to the shop assistants, Lan Xinya's actual monthly income is less than 1,000 yuan.

   This amount of money is only enough to maintain her daily expenses, and if she saves a few hundred dollars, the money left in her hands throughout the year is only a few thousand dollars.

  Thousands today are not the same as they used to be.

  Since Lan Xinya sold the house, she has always wanted to buy the house back again.

  But with this one wish, she has opened a store for several years, but the money in her hand is farther and farther away from buying a house—

  Looking at the house price rising year after year, Lan Xinya regretted it all!

  At the beginning, she shouldn't have believed other people's words, and sold the house to raise money for investment.

   Otherwise, the appreciation of the house will exceed the interest of 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, the old man Lan, who was paralyzed in bed, had a relapse and was admitted to the hospital again!

  Old man Lan is already over eighty years old. This time he went to the hospital, the chance of him surviving is quite small.

  Lan Shengli, as a son, stands in front of his father every day.

  He probably also had a premonition that the old man might not be able to hold on this time, so he spread the news—

  The next day, both Lan Dazhuang and Lan Sibo came to the hospital.

  Lan Xiuming asked for leave and was delayed for a while, but he was still on his way, probably arriving tomorrow.

  Before Lan Xiuming set off, he thought that the old man Lan was their grandfather after all. Although they rarely met and were not close, at the end of the old man's life, they would at least see him off.

  So he also told his mother the news.

  …

  In Linjiang City, Chang Chunfang was lying when she learned that the old man was dying, and said she wasn't surprised.

  As the daughter-in-law, she should really show her face at the end.

  Plus it was her son who called her again this time, so she followed him to Kyoto.

   It's a pity that even though the two went, they didn't see the old man Lan for the last time!

  From the onset of the disease to the hospital admission, the old blue man became listless in only three days, and his waking hours became less and less.

  By the time Lan Xiuming and Chang Chunfang arrived at the hospital, Old Man Lan's brain waves had already formed a straight line.

   And before he was pronounced dead by doctors, in the last waking moments of his life. The blue old man had a brief flashback.

  Under the witness of the doctor, he slurred his speech and confessed his last words with difficulty—

  He said, "My house will be left to my granddaughter in the future."

  Old man Lan's words were a bit biased, but neither Lan Dazhuang nor Lan Sibo had any objections.

   Not to mention the old man Lan, even if they have something good, they want to give it to the younger sister!

  So Lan Shengli also nodded in agreement with his father.

   Originally, Lan Shu was going to give Lan Shu the old house of the Lan family, but it was already a firm decision.

  But for some reason, on the day of Old Man Lan's burial, Lan Xinya, whom the Lan family hadn't seen for many years, suddenly appeared at the funeral!

"I heard that my grandpa is going to give me the house, so I came here specially to see him off today." Lan Xinya said, kneeling on the spot in front of the grave of the old man Lan whom she had never met, crying loudly funeral

   This cry is miserable, and outsiders really look like a filial granddaughter!

   This scene made Lan Shengli, who was also in front of the grave, and the three brothers of the Lan family dumbfounded!

   Lan Xinya just said that grandpa would give her the house?

  How embarrassed is Lan Xinya? !

   Also, how did she know that grandpa was buried today?

   After a moment of doubt, the father and son cast their eyes on Chang Chunfang!

   "Mom, you told Lan Xinya that today is the day of grandpa's burial?" Lan Xiuming asked.

   "Grandpa is going to give the house to his granddaughter, isn't it you who said that?" The expression on Lan Sibo's face was indescribable.

  If his guesses are all true, then Lan Sibo really doesn't know what his mother is thinking!

  Across the way, after Chang Chunfang came to the capital this time, she did contact Lan Xinya again.

  Because of this year, she finally discovered Shushu's estrangement from her.

  She was suffering in her heart and could not tell.

  In addition, Chang Chunfang thought that Xinya was the old man's granddaughter after all, so she just confessed such a big thing as her death.

   As for the fact that the old man wanted to give the house to his granddaughter, of course Chang Chunfang would not say anything.

  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 share a share of the property in the future!

   As a result, when she was investigating the real estate situation, she accidentally learned that the grandfather she had never met said that she would give the house to his granddaughter.

  Aren't you his own granddaughter? !

  Even though Lan Xinya knew that the "granddaughter" in the old man's mouth should be Lan Shu, she felt that she needed this house more than Lan Shu!

  So Lan Xinya came prepared today, and she will never give up until she gets this house!
