Chapter 129 Wise Jia Zhang!
Chapter 129 Wise Jia Zhang!
In this era, people generally believe that although the house is public property, it has been allocated to them for living, so it is their home, so almost no one is willing to pay money to buy the house allocated by the government.
But Jia Dongming is different. Jia Dongming came from the future, and he knows better than anyone how valuable a house in a courtyard house will be in the future. It is for this reason that Jia Dongming will buy the current house and plans to stock up a few more courtyard houses after the future storm.
What Jia Dongming didn't expect was that there were actually smart people in this courtyard.
Facing the question from Li's wife, Jia Dongming naturally couldn't tell her the truth that he had given up the reward and paid for the house. He then pretended to be dumb and said, "Aunt Li, I believe you should know that I was separated from my parents when I was very young. My childhood experience made me feel very insecure."
"Although I have found my relatives now, in my subconscious, only things that belong to me are truly mine, so I gave up the factory's reward and asked the factory to buy a house."
When Li's wife heard Jia Dongming's explanation, she did not believe his excuse. Instead, she decided in her heart that after her husband returned home, she would ask him to go to the street office to see if he could buy her house as well.
In order to prevent the people in the courtyard from focusing all their attention on the Jia family's purchase of a house, Jia Dongming handed the cloth bag in his hand to Qin Huairu and said to her, "Huairu! When I went to the vegetable market with Zhuzi just now, I saw some fresh river shrimps for sale, so I bought some. Take them home and stir-fry them with lard and garlic. The children will definitely like them when the time comes."
Qin Huairu was a smart woman. When she saw the bag that Jia Dongming handed to her, she immediately guessed Jia Dongming's intention. She quickly took the bag from Jia Dongming and said to He Yushui with a smile, "Yushui! I'll go back to cook first. If you have nothing to do, remember to come to my house and play."
When Jia Dongming returned home, he saw Jia Zhang sitting at the table with a smug look on her face. Thinking of how Jia Zhang had just acted in front of the neighbors, he shook his head subconsciously and asked Jia Zhang, "Mom! You were fine just now, why did you tell the neighbors in the yard that our public house had been turned into a private house? Aren't you just trying to attract hatred?"
When Jia Zhang heard what Jia Dongming said, she showed an expression of indifference on her face. Instead, she argued with Jia Dongming: "Dongming! Before you came back, the residents of this courtyard always looked down on our family. Today I want to let these residents know that our Jia family is no longer the same Jia family as before."
Jia Dongming more or less understood Jia Zhang's thoughts. Thinking of Yi Zhonghai's reaction just now, Jia Dongming couldn't help but ask Jia Zhang: "Mom! Aren't you worried that Yi Zhonghai will target our family?"
When Jia Zhang heard Jia Dongming mention Yi Zhonghai, she showed disdain on her face and said to Jia Dongming, "Dongming! Do you really think I, your mother, am stupid?"
"Yi Zhonghai has no children, so he wants to find someone to take care of him in his old age. After your father passed away, Dongxu and I were left to depend on each other. If we don't find a way to rely on others in the courtyard, Dongxu and I might be eaten up by others. So I took advantage of Yi Zhonghai's eagerness to find someone to take care of him in his old age and asked you, Dongxu, to become Yi Zhonghai's disciple."
"Yi Zhonghai's monthly salary is so high, and the couple don't skimp on food or spending in order to provide for their retirement. Over the years, they must have saved a lot of money."
"Besides, when Yi Zhonghai retires, he will also have a pension. Even if we let Dongxu take care of him in his old age, our family won't have to pay for it. When Yi Zhonghai and his wife are dead, their money and two houses will belong to our Jia family. This is a sure win deal. Only a fool would refuse it."
Influenced by the Siheyuan fan fiction, Jia Dongming had the impression that Jia Zhang was a completely unreasonable rural woman who liked to make trouble. Now that he knew about Jia Zhang's plan against Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongming's image of Jia Zhang immediately changed dramatically.
Thinking of the plot, in which Sha Zhu was plotted by the Jia family and died tragically under the overpass, and the Jia family became the family with the last laugh in the entire courtyard, at this moment Jia Dongming finally realized that the deaf old lady's calculations were nothing compared to Jia Zhang's calculations.
At this moment, Jia Dongming gave Jia Zhang a thumbs up and praised her, "Mom! In the past few days since I came back, I often heard people in the courtyard talking about our family. They all said that you are a rural woman who only likes to make trouble and has no vision."
"Now that I've heard you say that, I realize that you're just being unreasonable to protect our Jia family, and your ignorance is just a deliberate disguise. If we talk about who is the smartest person in our courtyard, if you say you're second, no one would dare to say they're first."
Jia Dongming's praise made Jia Zhang feel extremely proud. Thinking of her calculations against Yi Zhonghai in the past few years, Jia Zhang's face showed a tangled expression. It was not until a moment later that Jia Zhang said to Jia Dongming: "Dongming! Mom wants to discuss something with you."
When Jia Dongming heard what Jia Zhang said and saw her troubled expression, he curiously asked her, "Mom! If you have anything to say between us, just tell me."
After hearing Jia Dongming's promise, Jia Zhang said to him, "Dongming! I plan to let Banggeng and Yi Zhonghai recognize a godparent."
When Jia Dongming learned of Jia Zhang's idea, he was surprised and asked Jia Zhang curiously, "Mom! Why do you suddenly want Bang Geng and Yi Zhonghai to be godparents?"
When Jia Zhang heard Jia Dongming's question and saw his surprised expression, she thought of her plan and said to him with a smile, "Dongming! Yi Zhonghai is an eighth-level worker and currently earns 95 yuan a month. I have calculated that Yi Zhonghai's current assets are at least to yuan."
"Since you came back, Yi Zhonghai has been worried that our family won't provide for him in his old age, so he has set his sights on Shazhu. That's why I wanted Banggeng to become Yi Zhonghai's godparents. That way, Yi Zhonghai's money and house will belong to our Banggeng in the future. Now you have the final say in our family, so Mom wants to ask for your opinion."
When Jia Dongming learned of Jia Zhang's plan, he pondered for a moment and said to Jia Zhang, "Mom! Although I have the final say in our family, I am only Bang Geng's uncle. You should discuss everything about Bang Geng with Huai Ru. After all, she is Bang Geng's biological mother."
After hearing Jia Dongming's answer, Jia Zhang also thought that it made sense, and nodded and replied, "Okay! Then, I will discuss this matter directly with Huairu. If Huairu agrees, I will go to Yi Zhonghai to discuss the matter of becoming your godparents in two days."
When Jia Zhang said this, she remembered Jia Dongxu's death from a work-related injury. Hatred flashed in her eyes, and she reminded Jia Dongming, "Dongming! Although Mom intends to let Banggeng and Yi Zhonghai recognize each other as godchildren, Mom's main purpose is not only to take Yi Zhonghai's property, but also to avenge your brother."
