Chapter 65: Two Hundred Thousand Yuan, I Will Do as I Say
“What?” When the old lady heard that it involved her elder son’s interests, she was unhappy. “How can we do that? That’s your uncle’s house.”
Jian Ai had long known that the old lady would have such a reaction. Since she was young, as long as it was something related to her elder son, he would have the highest advantage. No one else needed to think about taking advantage of him.
Jian Ai looked at the old lady and said, “Grandma, if I remember correctly, the house you and Grandpa gave Uncle is already empty. The grass in the yard is half a meter tall! Uncle is now successful in his career. He has at least two houses in the city. Do you think he will still return to South City? He probably forgot that he had such a yard.”
“Now that Younger Uncle needs money to get married, Elder Uncle said that his company’s capital chain is tight that he can’t spare any money. Let’s not talk about whether this is true or not for now. Regardless, he’s leaving that house empty. Can’t he exchange it for some money to help my Younger Uncle in this emergency? Or could it be that you can’t bear to part with your elder son’s house and would rather Younger Uncle’s marriage be called off?”
Jian Ai’s tone was indifferent, but her words were like needles.
The old lady panicked and glared at her. “You’re talking nonsense. Of course, your uncle’s marriage is more important.”
Jian Ai raised her eyebrows when she heard that. “Since Grandma said so, I’ll make it clear. My family won’t lend you the money, but you can exchange two house deeds for it. We’re not people who take advantage of others. The current value of these two houses is only a hundred and ten or twenty thousand yuan. My family will provide two hundred thousand yuan to my uncle for his marriage. Treat it as a token of appreciation from my mother as his sister as well.”
“How… how much?”
Wang Yunfa thought he had heard wrongly and immediately opened his mouth in shock.
The old lady was also stunned. She came today to ask her daughter for one hundred thousand yuan, so she thought that she could exchange two houses for one hundred thousand yuan. However, she did not expect Jian Ai to mention two hundred thousand yuan.
At this moment, Wang Yunmei calmed down because she already knew her daughter’s goal.
She was secretly shocked. She did not expect her daughter to plan things to this extent. However, the people they were scheming against were her brothers. She did not know if she should feel happy or feel other emotions.
Seeing that the two of them did not believe her, Jian Ai repeated, “Two hundred thousand yuan. My family does what we say. As long as you hand over the deed to the two houses tomorrow, my mother will immediately give two hundred thousand yuan to my uncle.”
“This money is more than enough to buy an eighty square meter house in Zhonglou District. There’s still a lot of money left. Whether Uncle uses it for the betrothal gift or buys a car, it’s enough. This marriage can also be grand.”
Wang Yunfa’s eyes lit up when he heard that. It was obvious that Jian Ai had convinced him. With two hundred thousand yuan, even if he bought a house and a car, he would still have tens of thousands of yuan left. The market value of the two old houses was only one hundred thousand yuan, but his sister was willing to pay double that amount!
“Sister, is Xiao Ai telling the truth? Are you willing to give me two hundred thousand yuan?” Wang Yunfa looked at Wang Yunmei, wanting to get her affirmation.
Wang Yunmei hesitated for a moment. However, since her daughter had put it that way, she knew her daughter’s intentions and plans. There was no room for negotiation. She gritted her teeth and nodded. “That’s right. If you exchange two houses, I’ll give you two hundred thousand yuan. This won’t be considered a loan, and you won’t have to return it in the future.”
