Chapter 1167: Chapter 1167: Selling the House
Bai Jianguo looked at Bai Song and knew today was a bust, spat in frustration.
How unlucky, Bai Song and Bai Yue just happened to co back right then.
What rotten luck.
“Let’s go ho!”
Clearly, it’s not going to happen now, with Bai Song around, who would dare act out, unless they’re courting death.
Bai Zhuang and Bai Shan left even quicker; they often got beaten.
The crowd ridiculed Bai Jianguo, there weren’t many people in the village who would do such shaless things anymore. In the past, those who caused trouble and made scenes began to restrain themselves as life got better, becoming more amicable.
After all, nobody is born a scoundrel, who doesn’t cherish a good life and a good reputation.
If not for themselves, then for their children’s sake.
There weren’t many like Bai Jianguo, who used to care about their reputation and now completely shaless.
“Bai Jianguo, why don’t you go in and show filial piety to your mom? Weren’t you just crying and shouting about wanting to be filial to your old mother?”
“Yeah! Your mom wasn’t bad to you back then, exploited your nieces and nephews for your sake, took your mom’s benefits, and now you hide so far away, that’s not right.”
“Exactly! Your family isn’t struggling! Yet you covet the elder’s house, what brazen nerve.”
“People like these, when they’re shaless, they’re invincible in the world.”
“No wonder, look at those sons and grandsons of the Bai family, one after another, they’re all ungrateful! A few days ago, Bai Qi even extorted candy from our little Zhuzhu. Truly, like grandfather, like grandson.”
Even with his thick skin, Bai Jianguo felt his old face burn, and hurried ho with his hands behind his back.
Bai Zhuang and Bai Shan were even more mortified.
This made them wish they could find a hole to crawl into.
On the side, Bai Song put the old lady on the heated brick bed.
As Bai Yue looked around the house, it was surprisingly clean, but there was a strong dicinal sll, indicating that the old lady’s leg was quite serious.
“Grandma, what did the doctor say about your leg?”
After all, she was her grandmother, couldn’t ignore it.
Li Chunhua sighed, “Old age is really useless, any knock or bump becos a problem, nothing major, the doctor said it’s a fracture, they’ve put on a cast, it just needs so rest. Don’t you two worry. Song, what brings you back? Is sothing wrong?”
Ever since that series of events back then, Li Chunhua would be lying if she said she didn’t regret it.
If ti could go back, how could she have caused such trouble for these kids, now looking at her current state, she loathes herself, she didn’t ask the neighbors to call Bai Yue because she felt too ashad.
Though her grandchildren didn’t hold grudges, she has at least so sense of sha.
All those things she did back then, she can’t bring herself to ntion, and she doesn’t have the face to talk about.
So if she can avoid bothering them, Li Chunhua absolutely won’t trouble the kids.
Perhaps there’s just a thin line between good and evil.
Bai Yue was quick-handed and had already tidied up the bed for the old lady, Bai Song propped a pillow behind her back, then told her about his transfer plans and also ntioned wanting to take her with him.
Upon hearing this, Li Chunhua wiped her tears for quite a while, “Song, I won’t go, you’re heading for the Capital, it’s such a good place, and I certainly don’t want to embarrass you. The sins I’ve committed, I deserve to suffer, it’s my own doing from the past!”
“Don’t worry about . Since you’re back and getting transferred, let’s move on, have your sister arrange a match for you, look how old you’ve gotten, hurry up and start a family, our Bai Family still counts on you to carry on the family line.”
“If you’re not getting busy and have a child, I wouldn’t even be able to rest in peace, I wouldn’t dare face your parents.”
The old lady instantly beca lively, Bai Song not having settled down was already a worry for her.
Bai Song laughed, “What are you saying, let tell you, everyone makes mistakes, I’ve had mishaps with my gun back then too, if soone’s made mistakes and has changed, that’s enough, Grandma, let’s not talk about the past, I’m your grandson, and no matter what, I wouldn’t leave you alone here.”
“You’ve seen my second uncle, if you don’t co with ! If there’s no one by your side, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be willing to let go of this house and land, better co with , we’ll leave this house and land, save ourselves trouble, none of us siblings would co back to live in the future, it’d just be a hassle to keep it.”
“That won’t do, you give it to your second uncle! That’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing, can’t let that family benefit. Old and young, not a good one among them.” Li Chunhua was still holding grudges.
The Bai Jianguo family had done plenty of bad deeds.
As for grandsons Bai Zhuang and Bai Shan! Li Chunhua treated them all well back then, but look at now, starting with her own grandma, if it weren’t for Bai Song coming back today, who knows if she could survive falling into Bai Jianguo’s hands, she hasn’t forgotten being tornted back then.
Now how could it still turn out well?
“Grandma, we definitely won’t leave it to uncle, especially after how they treated you today, there’s no way I could leave it to them. I was thinking, there must be soone in the village who’d want this house, we could sell the house and lease the land, as long as yearly tax is paid, our family isn’t short of money.
It makes things easier, saves any trouble from uncle when you’re not around, why not co with to the Capital, I’ve been assigned a two-bedroom apartnt in a housing complex, you could enjoy life there, might even have to help out with finding a wife.”
Li Chunhua hesitated, her grandson’s conditions were so good now! Certainly couldn’t find a bride from the village.
If he found a city girl! She had to help out and choose carefully.
“I’m worried this old woman will just be a burden, now that you have a different background, Grandma hopes you all do well, and that I don’t hold back others.”
Worried she’d be a hindrance to Bai Song finding a wife.
“Grandma! What are you saying, you’re my grandmother, it’s settled.”
Bai Song made the decision.
Bai Yue and Bai Song went to find the village chief Liu Baoguo, who had been the village chief for many years, very respected, and given the relationship between the two families, Liu Baoguo naturally helped them out.
Liu Baoguo announced through the loudspeaker, the whole village knew Bai Song was selling the house.
Those interested naturally took notice, getting land for a hostead in the village wasn’t easy, with more people and less land now, many in-laws coming from outside, lots of families squeezed together.
Living together naturally brought more disputes.
Many had their eyes on the Bai family’s land.
When it was built back then, there were five big tiled rooms.
Added with the front and back yards, it was quite a space.
By afternoon, quite a few people had already co by to inquire, Bai Song wasn’t asking for much, five thousand yuan was the market price, not too much, not too little.
Bai Jianguo naturally got wind of it, and was filled with hatred.
Ever since that incident, the old lady really beca estranged from him.
Not seeing each other for so many years was one thing, but now she actually wanted to sell the house.
He had long planned, just waiting for the old lady to go, Bai Song, Bai Yue, and Bai Ju certainly couldn’t live in the village, they wouldn’t care for this house, and he’d get a house for free.
Now it seed, Bai Song was determined to root out any chance he had.
