Chapter 85: Even Children Understand
Wang Yunmei didn’t give the two of them a chance to argue. She immediately explained, “This house is currently selling at forty-five thousand yuan, but when the demolition starts, this house will be worth a lot of money. When that time comes, you can return the demolition fee to me. After a few years, when South City is rebuilt, you can still get a relocation house. It’s worth it.”
When Wang Yunzhi and Yao Feng heard this, it would be a lie to say that they were not tempted. However, they felt uncomfortable in their hearts to open their mouths to borrow money from their sister.
The main reason was that the two saw how hard Wang Yunmei had worked over the years. Although their family was not rich, they were still a married couple who raised a son. However, Sister was different. She raised two children alone. How she had survived over the years was something others did not know, but they did.
Seeing that the two of them didn’t speak, Wang Yunmei took it as a silent agreement. She continued, “That’s not the end, for there’s another matter. You have to be like my family and buy a new house even before the news of the demolition is released. Otherwise, when the news of the demolition is released, the surrounding property prices will surge. I’ll fork out the money to buy this house. I’ll still say the same thing. Return it to me when you receive the demolition fee.”
“Sister, you can’t do that.” Yao Feng panicked when he heard that. He had a flustered expression. “We’re already very grateful that you’re lending us money to buy our current house. How can we still borrow your money to buy a new house for us?!”
Wang Yunzhi, on the other hand, started to wipe her tears. She was both touched and upset.
She had such a big family, but she and her sister were the only ones who huddled together for warmth. With such a huge matter, her sister wanted to buy two houses for her family without hesitation. As her sister, she did not know what to say for a moment and could only cry.
“I already said that I’m lending you. You can return the money to me once you receive the demolition fee. Although the property prices are high now, based on your current yard, the demolition fee you’ll receive will be more than enough. Don’t worry,” Wang Yunmei explained earnestly, not forgetting to comfort her sister. “Yunzhi, why are you crying? Isn’t this a good thing? I can help you now, so I’ll help you.”
Wang Yunzhi cried as she said, “Sister… I just feel moved. You say that it’s not easy for you, but you still miss me and worry about me.”
“Dad, Mom, I think Aunt has a good opinion.” At that moment, Jiachi, who had been eating silently, suddenly said in a light voice.
He handed two tissues to Wang Yunzhi and said under everyone’s gaze, “Although I’m still a child, I can understand that Aunt is doing this for the good of our family. Firstly, if we don’t buy a house now, the loss will not be just a yard, but the benefits that the entire demolition will bring to our family—demolition fee and a relocation house. As for Aunt wanting to lend money in advance to help our family buy a new house, she also knows that if we don’t buy it now when the demolition begins, the property prices will increase. At that time, our families will still be the ones to spend more money. Why don’t we borrow money to buy it first and return the money when the time comes? We can spend less.”
“That’s what I mean!” Wang Yunmei exhaled and looked at Jiachi.” My nephew is still the smartest.”
Then, she looked at her sister and brother-in-law and said with a smile, “Listen to this. Even a child can understand such simple logic, so why are the two of you still hesitating? It’s not like I’m paying for nothing. I already said that I’m lending you, so don’t think about those useless things!”
