Chapter 67: Don’t Wake Up Early If There Are No Benefits

The room fell silent. Looking at the few glasses of water on the coffee table, Jian Ai sighed.

The phenomenon of favoring a man over a woman had existed since ancient times, but Jian Ai never expected such a custom to be thoroughly implemented in her own home. It was going to be a new millennium, yet there were still such old-fashioned people. If one’s son shouted out that he was cold, one would skin their daughter to make a set of clothes for him.

Jian Ai did not think that there was anything wrong with what she had just done. To Jian Ai, all these people related by blood were not much different from strangers. One would not wake up early unless they had benefits to gain. If not for the benefits, she would not have bought their lousy houses for no reason. This was also what she had learned as a businesswoman in her previous life.

Therefore, no matter what happened in the future, she would not regret her actions today. She did it for this family, for her mother and brother.

On the other hand, as soon as they left Jian Ai’s house, Wang Yunfa said to the old lady, “Mom, looks like Sister made a lot of money over the years. She offered two hundred thousand yuan just like that.”

The old lady glared at Wang Yunfa. “It’s not like you don’t know where she works. Who isn’t a big boss working in one of those places?”

“That’s true. Sister’s been working there for so many years. A financier must have given her quite a bit of money.” Wang Yunfa curled his lips and looked down on her.

“You go back first. I’ll go tell your brother about this.” The old lady waved her hand and turned to leave, but Wang Yunfa grabbed her.

“Mom, Mom…” Wang Yunfa pulled the old lady towards the tree and lowered his voice.” Do you think my brother can give me the deed for free? If he knows that Sister is willing to fork out two hundred thousand yuan, won’t he want to split it in half? ”

“Why? Do you want to keep it all for yourself?” The old lady glared at him and said unhappily, “That house belongs to your brother in the first place. If you sell it, you’ll have to give half of it!”

“No, doesn’t that mean I only have one hundred thousand yuan left? I won’t have a cent left after buying a new house.” Wang Yunfa’s face twitched, and he looked reluctant.

“Then what do you mean? You want your brother to give you the house for free?” The old lady frowned and asked.

Wang Yunfa chuckled and said in a coquettish tone, “Mom… My brother’s company has assets worth more than a million yuan. Would he care about such a lousy yard? Besides, this yard has been empty for so many years. He can’t sell it, and he won’t be living in it anymore. Tell him to give this to me as a wedding gift, okay?”

“Besides, you asked him for money before, but he didn’t give it to you, right? Can’t he give me this empty house now?”

In the end, the meaning behind Wang Yunfa’s words was that he wanted to take the two hundred thousand yuan for himself. However, it wouldn’t be good for him to say this to his brother, so he could only act spoiled towards the old lady.

Although the old lady doted on her elder son the most, her younger son was also a piece of meat on the back of her hand. Wang Yunfa used both hard and soft tactics on her, and he was indeed finally getting married. The old lady’s heart couldn’t help but soften. She nodded and said, “Alright, alright. I’ll go to your elder brother to ask him for this deed. But you have to be more tight-lipped. If your brother finds out that you sold this house to your sister for so much money, he’ll blame me.”

Wang Yunfa was delighted when he heard that. He quickly nodded. “Mom, don’t worry. I definitely won’t say a word! When I get married, I’ll quickly give birth to a grandson for you to be happy about!”

“That’s more like it!” When the old lady heard the word ‘grandson,’ she was delighted.
