Listening to the conversation between the eldest brother and the third brother, Lan Shu, as an adopted daughter, could only sigh for her brothers.

   Now she is even a little thankful that she is not the biological daughter of her adoptive mother.

  She thought of Lan Xinya's difficulty when she appeared in the early years, and she seemed to have a bit of a mother-daughter resemblance to her adoptive mother after she got old...

  …

  At this time in Kyoto, in a small private house near Huamei Shopping Mall.

   During the past few days of Chinese New Year, Lan Xinya has never been idle.

  Other businessmen will close their doors from New Year's Eve, and will reopen after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

  But in order to make more money, she did not take a day off during the Chinese New Year.

  Lan Xinya has been running a small clothing store for these years and is in the clothing business.

  Her storefront has grown from a small storefront to two storerooms today.

  Although her business is good, she doesn't earn much because of small profits but quick turnover.

  After all these years, the money she saved in her hand can almost afford the down payment of rising housing prices in Kyoto.

  Lan Xinya never thought that the more she saved, the farther away she would be from buying a house!

  The rise in housing prices is out of her control.

  At first, she thought about buying a house with all the money after saving enough money, but she scoffed at the matter of buying a house with a loan.

   But now, she just wants to buy a house with a loan, and the down payment is still a bit short!

  Because of the Chinese New Year, every household is busy visiting relatives. In fact, there are not many people shopping for clothes.

  So Lan Xinya opened a store for a few days, only two days on the fourth and fifth day of the new year, and sold a few pieces of clothing, earning a profit of 100 yuan.

   Lan Xinya feels that the market for selling clothes is getting worse and worse, but she doesn't know what else to do besides selling clothes for so many years.

  She tried to find a job in some small companies, but considering her size and age, no one would recruit her as a secretary.

  So Lan Xinya resigned to her fate, and she can only sell clothes for the rest of her life...

  On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Lan Xinya was sitting in the store waiting for customers to come to her door when she suddenly saw a familiar figure outside the door—

  Meng Dabao came by himself, and brought a box of eggs and a pot of peanut oil for his mother.

   "Mom, Happy Chinese New Year."

   Meng Dabao kept this belated New Year greeting from his family.

  He is now in contact with his own mother, which even his wife doesn't know about.

  Meng Dabao is a simple-minded person. Even though he knows that his father, grandpa, and grandma all have opinions on his mother, he doesn't want him to have anything to do with his mother.

   But in his heart, Lan Xinya is indeed his real mother.

  Even if his mother is irresponsible to him, takes little care of him, and even cheats him of money, but he doesn't have to deal with his mother on weekdays, and he still has to come and see it during the Chinese New Year.

  When Lan Xinya saw Meng Dabao, she felt somewhat complicated.

  After so many years, she has seen it through. All the people around her are deserted, and only her son still thinks of her.

   Thinking of this, Lan Xinya felt somewhat guilty.

  She used breast cancer as an excuse to take thousands of dollars from her son...

   Fortunately, the son did not cut off contact with her because of this incident.

   Lan Xinya feels that her own son can still be relied on in the future.

  So Lan Xinya thought about it, and then she mentioned one thing to her son—

   "Dabao, do you have money?"

  When Meng Dabao heard his mother mention the money, he almost instinctively put up his defenses!

Lan Xinya saw Meng Dabao's nervousness, and she immediately explained, "Son, Mom wants to buy a house, and now there is still 10,000 yuan short of the down payment. Mom is just you, and in the future, Mom's money and house will be yours." of."

   Lan Xinya spoke the truth, she was indeed the heir to the inheritance of Meng Dabao.

   It's just that when her son can inherit the inheritance, I don't know if it will be decades later.

  It depends on how many years she, Lan Xinya, can live.

   Judging from Lan Xinya's current body, if there are no accidents, she may live to her seventies and eighties. By then, Meng Dabao will also become an old man, and her inheritance will not mean much to him.

   Knowing that his mother wanted to buy a house, Meng Dabao hesitated for a moment.

  He still has 10,000 yuan, and now he can earn more than 3,000 yuan a month on the construction site!

   It's just that all his money is handed over to his wife for safekeeping, and he doesn't have that much in his own hands.

   If you give money to his mother, you must let your wife know.

  Meng Dabao wasn't sure if his wife would agree to it.

   Meng Dabao's hesitation, in Lan Xinya's view, is an opportunity!

  She immediately persuaded again, "Dabao, Mom has been in Kyoto for so many years, and she still doesn't have a house. Do you think you are helping Mom?"

  Lan Xinya understands her son's temperament best, and Meng Dabao will definitely soften his heart when she says this!

  So within a few minutes, Meng Dabao made up his mind. He raised his head and said to Lan Xinya, "Mom, I'll go back and discuss this matter with my wife."

  Speaking of daughter-in-law, Lan Xinya had something to say again.

   "Dabao, you have been married for so many years, and your children are several years old. You have never brought your daughter-in-law and children to see your mother. Mom also wants to see her daughter-in-law and grandson."

   Lan Xinya's words are still from her heart.

   Now that she is alone in Kyoto, she really wants to have more relatives.

  My mother wants to see her daughter-in-law and grandson, no matter what, it should be done.

  Meng Dabao didn't immediately agree, but he also kept this matter in his heart.

   "Mom, I will tell my wife when I go back."

  He thought it over, if the wife is willing to come to see his mother, he will bring her here.

   Lan Xinya nodded when she heard that, "Is your wife's name Zhou Lan? You must talk to your wife when you go back. Mom wants to see her."

  That day, after visiting his own mother, Meng Dabao told his daughter-in-law about these things when he got home...

  …

  Zhou Lan is now doing sales in a large shopping mall here in Kyoto, her job is stable, and her salary is not low.

  A woman who has money has confidence, and her status in the Meng family is not low, so she can be said to be able to speak.

  So Zhou Lan has also known about her man's situation from childhood to adulthood.

  She knew that her man had a real mother.

   Also knew that the real mother was the culprit who caused her man's mental insanity!

   She even knew that before she married his man, that mother cheated her man out of money.

   Zhou Lan didn't have a good impression of her man's mother.

So just after the New Year's Eve, when her man told her that her mother wanted to buy a house and needed 10,000 yuan, Zhou Lan didn't hesitate at all, and directly told Meng Dabao, "We don't have enough money to buy a house ourselves. .”

   Although Meng Dabao and his wife had a place to live in the Meng family, as their son grew up, the house was too crowded after all.

   Zhou Lan has long planned to buy a house outside the husband and wife, and is also working hard towards this goal.

  According to her plan, she and her man only need to save money for two or three years before they can buy a second-hand small house.

  So it is impossible for her to give others the money she already lacks!
