Chapter 377 - Plan
Chapter 377: Plan
“Oh!” Wang Yunfa scratched his head.
Even Li Xia, who lived in Zhonglou District, knew about the demolition. The two elders of the Wang family, who lived in South City, naturally knew as well.
At the dining table, there was a plate of beef with sauce, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of stir-fried cabbage. Old Master Wang drank a glass of wine happily, and Old Madam Wang was also talking about this.
However, compared to Li Xia, the two elders had little reaction.
Perhaps because there was a generation gap between them and the current era, the old couple did not understand the benefits of demolition. However, like most elders in South City, they were worried about their retirement. If South City was demolished, where would they go?
“Stop talking. We don’t even know when the demolition will take place,” the old man put down his wineglass and said to Old Madam Wang.
Old Madam Wang glared at him. “Tsk, I heard from others that they’re demolishing it this year! When the time comes, let’s see which child we’ll stay with, shall we? We can’t possibly spend money to buy a new house.”
Previously, the old lady had already planned to go to her elder son’s house to enjoy her retirement. In the end, because the old man insisted on not going, she gave up. It was mainly because the old man was not used to living in that enormous villa and felt that it was not as comfortable as South City.
Now that South City was about to be demolished, Old Madam Wang mentioned this again.
This time, the old man didn’t object. He nodded. “If it’s demolished, let’s stay at Yunzhong’s place. Anyway, he’s divorced, and there’s only him and Zichen at home. He’s usually busy with the company, so you can help take care of the child!”
Old Madam Wang thought so too. She was happy to see her grandson by her side every day.
As the old couple was thinking, they suddenly heard a car engine turning off outside the yard. It was June now, and the door was open, so the two of them could hear it.
The old lady immediately stood up and muttered, “Who’s back at this time?”
As she spoke, she stood up and walked out.
Wang Yunfa and Li Xia alighted and saw the old lady at the door. They immediately called out, “Mom!”
“Why are the two of you here so late at night?” The old lady was a little surprised, but she still let the two of them in. “Quickly go in. We’re eating right now!”
After entering the house, Li Xia handed the refined white wine in her hand to the old man and said with a smile, “Dad, I heard you mention that there was no more alcohol at home last time. I bought you this white wine. It’s good!”
The old man smiled and reached out to take it, but he said, “Why spend this money? There are winemakers in South City. It’s very cheap. Ten yuan wine can get me drunk for a few days.”
When Li Xia heard this, she pretended to be careless and said, “Dad, didn’t I hear South City is going to be demolished? Then you won’t be able to drink this wine in the future. Quickly adapt to other things.”
As she spoke, she said indifferently, “This wine isn’t expensive. Just drink it. If you drink it well, I’ll buy it for you often in the future. I can’t let you stop drinking, right?”
The old lady entered the house with bowls and chopsticks and heard Li Xia’s words. She couldn’t help but be stunned. “You guys also heard about the demolition?”
Li Xia smiled and nodded. She was in no hurry to talk about serious matters. She just followed the old lady’s words and said, “That’s right. There are many people from South City in our factory. Everyone is talking about this today. After all, there’s a huge demolition fee to be received. We can even get a relocation house in the future.”
Li Xia sized up the two elders’ house and couldn’t help but purse her lips. “Dad, Mom, this yard of yours is not small. Including the entire area, it’s worth at least a few hundred thousand yuan!”
