After Lumi and the other two left the courtyard, Mrs. Wang's youngest daughter carried her child out of the house. One family after another came back.
After dinner, Aunt Wang called everyone, including the tenants, to the courtyard for a meeting.
"Let me tell you something. I've told you about this before. This time, it was an official notice that I was going to sell the house! All of you should be looking for a house in a month.”
As soon as Aunt Wang said that, everyone exploded.
"Mom, what do you mean?" You're chasing us out. You're dragging your family with you. If you say you want to sell the house, where are we going to live?”
"That's right. Isn't this asking for our lives?”the second daughter-in-law said.
"This is Mom's house. Mom can sell it if she wants to. How long have you been freeloading here? Are you embarrassed?”The younger daughter spoke up for her mother.
"Alright, the tenants can go back first. There's nothing else for you to do. As for the rent here, I've always collected it once a month. I won't collect rent for the next month either. You can move out by the end of March. It's also chaotic here recently. It would be best if you can find a house to move out in advance.”
When the tenants heard this, they realized that this was indeed their own family matter. Fine, they should not get involved. If they really got into a fight, they would be implicated again. One by one, they would return to their own houses.
The rest were the old lady's own children, oh, and her husband's nephew's family.
"Auntie, we know that we've taken advantage of you all these years, but you're asking us to move out of the blue. Where are we going to find a house?”
"There are plenty of houses on the streets. Why is there no place to stay? Are you guys just waiting for me to kick your legs?”The old lady was not polite.
"Mom, are you going to completely fall out with me? Not leaving anyone a way out? You don't even want your grandchildren?" The eldest daughter-in-law was merciless.
"You've been living with me for so many years. Now that I've had enough, I want to be alone. Is that wrong? I'm sixty-six this year. How many years can I live?”The old lady choked.
"But you can't just ask us to move just because you want us to. Can't you take it slow?"
"Did I ask you to move out tomorrow? Didn't they say that it would take a month?”
"Alright, Auntie, we won't take advantage of you anymore. We'll look for a house tomorrow!”Her niece-in-law said hatefully.
"Alright, since you understand, you two can go back to your rooms and bring the children.”
Only the old lady's two sons and one daughter were left in the courtyard.
"I sold this house for 1.5 million yuan. The rest are my family members, so I won't hide anything.”
When the children heard the old lady mention money, they raised their heads one after another.
"This is what I'm thinking. I'm going to use this money to buy a house for all three of you. But I'll say it first. I'm impartial. I can't buy a house that's too big or too expensive. I've worked hard my whole life. I have to save the money for crossing the river. After a hundred years, when we're together, you can split the rest. Even if you break your heads, it's your own business. It has nothing to do with me.”
The three siblings saw that the old lady had said this and stopped. They were all scheming in their hearts. No matter how much money they bought, it would be better than the current conditions. Even if it was a small house, it would be a single family and they would live their lives behind closed doors.
The two older brothers were dissatisfied that their mother wanted to buy a house for their younger sister. What right did a girl have! However, that was the old lady's money. The old lady had the final say. Don't be anxious and make any changes. Just buy it.
"And one last thing, we will transfer the ownership tomorrow. When we see the money and change our names, we will all be living under the eaves of other people's houses. I was the one who shamelessly asked for this month. Take advantage of this period of time to quickly look at the house and make room for the courtyard. You guys should also grow some face for me. As a son, if you don't take the lead, can that family move?”The old lady was referring to her nephew and niece's family.
The three siblings thought about it and agreed.
After the old lady finished speaking, she heaved a sigh of relief. As if he had exhausted all his strength, he lowered his head and returned to his room with his back hunched.
Lumi didn't know what had happened to Mrs. Wang, so she didn't call. She was waiting to transfer the ownership tomorrow.
The three of them decided to go for dinner. "Why don't we go to another restaurant to eat roast duck?" Lu Fengjun suggested.
"Uncle, let's eat something else." It was rare for Zhu Huicang to object.
"Have you eaten enough?" Lu Fengjun asked.
"Lumi doesn't like duck,"
Lumi heard this and glanced at Zhu Huicang.
Zhu Huicang's expression was very calm, as if he was stating something very normal.
"Lumi doesn't like duck? Oh, oh, I didn't even realize it. Daddy was careless. I've let my daughter down!”
"I can eat anything!"
"Let's go back to the hotel for a buffet. We can get a discount if we show our room card.”Zhu Huicang suggested.
"Alright, alright. Let's talk about the stall on Yabao Road.”Lu Fengjun agreed.
The reason why Zhu Huicang suggested going back to the hotel was that he could tell that Lumi liked the taste of the hotel restaurant.
Sure enough, on the way back to the hotel, Lumi whispered to Zhu Huicang,""Thank you!"
Lumi's words of thanks made Zhu Huicang smile. He tried his best to suppress it, but he couldn't. This was the feeling of liking someone. His mood was so good that it felt like he was floating. Zhu Huicang secretly experienced this wonderful feeling.
The hotel's buffet was really not expensive. After the discount, it was 38 yuan per person. There were dozens of dishes. The key was that Lumi really liked the taste here.
Lumi ate happily, and so did Zhu Huicang.
After the meal, a plate of fruits was placed on the table, and everyone had a cup of tea in front of them. The meeting started.
"Regarding Yabao Road, let's express our opinions!”Lumi spoke first.
"I'll listen to you." Zhu Huicang seemed to be used to listening to Lumi.
"Then I'll say it first. You have to point out the unsatisfactory or unreasonable parts.”Lumi decided to speak his mind first in a responsible manner. After all, it was his idea to go to Yabao Road.
"Alright, go ahead." Lu Fengjun also supported his daughter.
"The street stalls on Yabao Road are the most popular, but the environment at Ritan Hotel is better. First of all, I'm confident in our goods.”Lumi paused and continued," If we were at the Ritan Hotel, it might take time to be recognized by everyone. It's not as effective as the open-air stalls. However, there are certain drawbacks outside. It's the weather. It's rainy, snowy, and cold winter. Our bodies are bound to suffer a little.”
"Then forget it. I don't want our bodies to suffer for the sake of making money.”Zhu Huicang interrupted Lumi. No matter how much money he made, he couldn't accept the thought of Lumi suffering from the cold.
" Don't be anxious. Listen to me first. The physical pain is definitely temporary. I want to come to Yabao Road to test the waters and sell the autumn and winter series after the middle school examination. It's not realistic to come now. Firstly, I don't have the supply. The factory is still pressing orders. Secondly, my parents are too busy with the two stalls in Xiaocheng. Even if I hire another person, as long as I start school, I won't have enough people. But fortunately, in mid-June, we will withdraw Qingyun's stall according to the original plan. I mentioned this to Uncle Zhu before.”Lumi explained.
"After Qingyun removed the file, I finished my exams and can come here. I can change my father when school starts in September. As long as we get through this winter, it will be more comfortable in the spring. By then, it will be possible to move the roadside stalls. However, we are not afraid. The Geely Building that is under construction will be opened in September.”
"How did you know?" Lu Fengjun asked his daughter in confusion.
"I counted on my fingers. Hehe, I was just joking. I asked the construction workers and they said that it will be completed in September. This way, we can go to the investment promotion department in advance to book stalls and choose a good location. I approve of the Geely Building because it is a proper shopping mall. The first to sixth floors are commercial offices, and the seventh to twelfth floors are hotel rooms. Once we enter the building, we don't have to worry about the problem of physical suffering. But no matter what, it will be hard on CEO Lu for a few months.”Rumi felt sorry for his father, too. The winter must have been hard.
"I'm not afraid of hard work. It won't be long anyway.”Lu Fengjun was really not afraid of hardship. What kind of hardship had he not experienced in the past? It was just a few months. How could he not endure it? Moreover, the winter in Beijing was too gentle compared to the northeast.
In Lu Fengjun's heart, earning money was the most important thing. He cherished it very much.
"When the time comes, I'll cook with Uncle.”Zhu Huicang also expressed his opinion.
"Alright, since we've decided, let's wait for June! Huicang gege, you don't have to come over to the factory. The war is coming, so the food and fodder should be given priority. If I'm really busy, I'll hire someone. As long as the goods are good, the money won't be earned by one person.”
Zhu Huicang liked Lumi's serious look and admired her from the bottom of his heart. How could she have such a sharp heart at such a young age? How could he not love such a girl?
Everyone had the same opinion and goal. They still had to deal with official matters the next morning, so they dispersed and returned to their rooms to rest.
Lumi asked the receptionist for a pen and paper before going upstairs.
Zhu Huicang saw it but didn't ask.
Everyone had their own space, so Zhu Huicang wouldn't disturb them.
Lumi returned to his room and took a hot bath to wash away the fatigue of the day. She was a little tired at first, but she felt refreshed after taking a shower.
Hence, he took a pen and paper and prepared to draw some samples. Lumi felt that he was a plagiarist. All his inspiration and achievements were stolen from his previous life. But thinking about it from the other side, what was the problem? Whoever drew it first would get it. On the road of making money, he still needed to work hard!
Today, seeing Zhu Huicang buy a house and slap him, Lumi was a little shocked. He could easily take out five million yuan to buy a house, and it was under the condition that the factory was still operating.
It seemed that if he wanted to make a lot of money, he still had to start an industry. Lumi knew that he didn't have the ability, but Zhu Huicang did. So Lumi wanted to bind himself to the Zhu family. Forget 777 was, and so was Yabao Road.
In order not to be kicked off the ship, Lumi had to use his talent to tie the Zhu family up. Sigh, think hard. If he didn't draw, how could he bind them!
Lumi wrote on the paper, gradually calmed down, and began to draw seriously.
In winter, he needed some high-top styles, leather fabrics, and suede fabrics. The patterns on the soles should be deeper to ensure that they were non-slip and wear-resistant.
As he drew, Lumi was so immersed that he couldn't extricate himself.
A gentle knock on the door pulled Lumi back. Zhu Huicang's voice came from outside the door." Lumi? Are you asleep? Lumi?"
