Chapter 137 I just want to be ordinary - everything goes well
Maybe Song Wei's first half of his life was too rough, so now he has begun to live a life of happiness.
Zhou Leng actually already had more than 1.6 million yuan in her hands. The average house price in Kyoto was around 25,000 yuan, of course, for houses that were not in school districts. Just when she was planning to buy a house that was a little out of the way, good news came from Xiangyang County that their yard was going to be demolished, and Zhou Leng was asked to go back and talk to the developer.
Although it’s just a house in the county, who would complain about having too much money?
Even though he would not get the money immediately after signing the demolition contract, it would allow Zhou Leng to invest in another house without any worries.
Unfortunately, things are unpredictable.
half year later.
Before Zhou Leng bought another house in Kyoto, Ge Ying accidentally fell and hit his legs and waist.
Zhou Leng had no choice but to send Ge Ying to a rehabilitation home. Many elderly people could never stand up again after a fall.
The day after Ge Ying arrived at the sanatorium, Zhou Leng called Song Wei and asked him to go home to discuss something with him.
The mother and son talked about Ge Ying's condition, and Song Wei comforted her:
"Mom, don't worry too much. It's better to be in the nursing home than at home. We go to see grandma often. Otherwise, she is alone at home. Not to mention eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, it's not good to have no one to talk to her."
Zhou Leng nodded and said:
"I plan to live in a nursing home with your grandma. I know you and Zixiang are renting a house. When your lease expires, you can move in at home. I'm going to live in a nursing home with your grandma. It's good to have food, shelter, and someone to take care of her. Don't you know that many people say that if old men and women don't have anyone to accompany them, they will be bullied by the caregivers."
Song Wei frowned and thought. Actually, he did know that some nursing homes had such bad phenomena. However, his house had stairs and it was extremely inconvenient for his grandmother to go up and down the stairs. If he didn't go out and stayed at home all the time, it would not be good for his grandmother's recovery. But if he let his mother and grandmother live in a nursing home, he felt that he was unfilial.
Zhou Leng patted his shoulder and said:
"Don't worry, Mom still has our family savings. To be honest, Mom can live a good life. This house was originally left to you by your father. As for the rest, don't even think about it. That's my money."
Zhou Leng's last sentence was a bit joking and funny.
Song Wei said helplessly:
"Mom, that's not what I meant. I just don't want others to think that I sent you two old people away because I'm getting married."
Zhou Leng laughed and said:
"No one would think so. The nursing home your grandma and I live in costs more than 100,000 yuan a year. Who would say that? Ask her to send her parents there as well and see if they can bear to part with it."
After the mother and son had a good talk, Zhou Leng packed up his things and went to the nursing home to accompany his mother-in-law the next day.
The key is that the sanatorium is in a good location, not so busy, and has good greenery.
The old woman injured her waist and legs and could not walk or move freely. This would greatly shorten her quality of life and survival period.
Zhou Leng went to fortune-tell as usual in the morning, and in the afternoon she would chat with Ge Ying or just watch TV with her. She had already told Song Junang about Ge Ying's injury, and he said that he and his brother would go to Kyoto to visit the old man next week.
Only the two brothers Song Junzhi and Song Junang went to Beijing this time. After seeing the environment of the sanatorium and hearing the prices here, they couldn't say that Lu Xiaoqin was bad to their mother. They saw that the old woman was in good spirits, so they went back after staying for two days. Before leaving, they left money for Zhou Leng. Although it was not much, it was a token of their thoughtfulness.
It took Ge Ying half a year to recover from her injury before she could sit in a wheelchair and be pushed by Zhou Leng to walk around the yard.
At this time, Song Wei had been dating Ding Zixiang for more than two years, and they were discussing getting married.
The Ding family was also very satisfied with Song Wei, who had a Kyoto hukou and a house. The Ding couple took a bus from Chengdu to Kyoto to discuss the marriage with their in-laws.
In a restaurant in Kyoto, Zhou Leng hosted a banquet for the Ding family.
When the two sides met, the two young people introduced their parents to each other, and then they ordered food and chatted.
Mother Ding smiled and said:
"My dear relatives, don't blame me for being nosy. I heard from Zixiang that you and your mother-in-law are now living in a nursing home, which costs hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. It's actually not easy for these two children to live and work now."
The implication is that Zhou Leng is a bit too extravagant.
Zhou Leng looked at her and replied:
"This is my lifestyle. I didn't ask the children for money. The wedding house they got married in was left to them by Song Wei's father. The house is worth more than 7 million yuan on the market. Although it can't be exchanged for money, they don't have to buy a house. I will buy them a car after they get married. It doesn't have to be too expensive. Just buy 400,000 or 500,000 yuan. With a house and a car, they both have good jobs. What a good life. I can pay for my own stay in the nursing home, and the key is that I don't need the children to serve me. Isn't that good?"
Father Ding tried to smooth things over by saying:
"My in-laws are right. We don't need to buy such a nice car. We are planning to give Zixiang a car as a gift when she gets married."
Zhou Leng pretended to be rich and powerful and said:
"That's fine. Then you can buy them a car, and I'll give the five hundred thousand to the young couple so that they can have enough money to live their own lives. This way they will have confidence."
Song Wei frowned and was about to speak when Zhou Leng kicked her under the table. She had never told her silly son how much money she had, so he thought she was a pauper.
To be honest, Ding's mother couldn't find any fault with the conditions, and she didn't mention the matter of putting her name on the house.
Apart from this little episode, the two elderly people had a very pleasant conversation afterwards.
After Ding Zixiang arrived at the hotel with her parents, her face darkened and she said:
"Mom, why did you talk to Aunt Lu like that? If she wants to live in a nursing home, then she can live there. She spends her own money and has never asked Song Wei for money. You are meddling too much."
Mother Ding said angrily:
"Who am I doing this for? Isn't it for you to live a good life? Am I not afraid that you will not live well in Kyoto in the future? They spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in a nursing home. What if you have to take the money? Didn't you always say that Song Wei's family is not well off? They only have one house. How can her mother take out 500,000 yuan to give to you two? You are not lying to us, are you?"
Ding Zixiang said helplessly:
"Mom, you're overthinking it. Aunt Lu isn't the type to brag. All right, you guys take a rest. I'll have to call Aunt Lu to apologize when I get out later."
Mother Ding was about to say something but was interrupted by Father Ding, who said:
"You don't have to apologize. After all, your mother is doing this for your own good. It would be bad for you to apologize. Just buy some fruit and go to the nursing home in a couple of days."
Ding Zixiang nodded to show that she understood.
However, Song Wei was also worried that his mother was just trying to be rich, so he asked again and again.
Zhou Leng was so annoyed that he had to say:
"Don't bother to know how much money I have. I'll just give you a small change. All that money is mine. I'll give you a small change. Don't ask me any more questions."
Song Wei laughed.
