289 Eldest Aunt’s Strategy (1)

At the Shi Family, Grandpa Shi and Grandma Shi stopped eating spicy sticks. Instead, they took out some snacks from home and ate in the courtyard.

Grandma Shi peeled off a dried salted peanut and said, “At this moment, your Eldest aunt’s family must be very lively. Her family has a serious preference for boys over girls. Her parents are old and can’t help her son at all, so they can only rely on a few older sisters to help.”

Hearing her grandmother’s words, Gu Qingming became even more curious about her eldest aunt’s family.

She did not know that her aunt, who had such a good personality, had such a family.

“Back then, before your Eldest aunt married your Eldest Uncle, she worked hard for that family and handed over all the money she worked so hard to her parents. Therefore, her parents never wanted her to get married. Later on, she met your Eldest Uncle and insisted on marrying him.

“The Chen family demanded a high betrothal gift, which was countless times higher than ordinary families marrying off their daughters. It was only because your Eldest Aunt ruthlessly suppressed it that we gave them a slightly higher betrothal gift than back then. Your eldest aunt even asked her parents to give her more dowry.E

Grandma Shi explained the process of her Eldest Aunt’s marriage. “Your Eldest Aunt was born into a family that favors boys over girls. She’s the eldest daughter, but she has her own opinions and is clear-headed. She’s a good person.”

Otherwise, if Eldest Uncle married a family woman, wouldn’t she be using her in-laws to subsidize her maternal family?

No matter how well-off her in-laws were, they would not be able to withstand their daughter-in-law’s prodigal ways.

Gu Qingming ate a piece of homemade Jiang Rice Strip and asked with a smile, “So Eldest Aunt is also a person with a story.”

“Hehe, not only your eldest aunt, but your second aunt and third aunt also have stories!” Grandma said in amusement. “Do you want to hear them?”

“Yes!” Gu Qingming nodded honestly. “I still want to hear the story of Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, and Third Sister-in-law. Are my Aunts and Uncles, Sisters-in-law, and Brothers free to fall in love, or did they get to know each other through blind dates?”

“Haha, there are casses of free love and blind dates!” Grandma suddenly smiled happily and said, “Since you want to hear it, I’ll tell you what I know. Let’s talk about your Eldest Aunt first. Back then, she worked in the factory, and your Eldest Uncle also worked there back then…”

…

Eldest Aunt narrowed her eyes and stared at her younger brother with sharp eyes. She asked again seriously, “How much?”

“100,000 dollars!” Chen Yao’er said matter-of-factly. “Lu Ying and I went to the county city and took a fancy to a house. We’ve already put down a deposit, but we have to pay the down payment before the sixth day of the New Year. Dad and Mom don’t have any money left. The other three sisters and brothers-in-law have to make do with 100,000 dollars. There are still 100,000 dollars left. Eldest Sister can take it.”

“A down payment of 200,000 dollars? How big is the house you like?” Aunt asked unhurriedly.

“Just over 180 square meters. Yes, the down payment is 20%. The salesperson said that the down payment for a new house can be 20%,” Chen Yao’er said truthfully.

Chen Qiuxiang took a deep breath and said very calmly, “Right now, the highest housing price in the county is 3,000 dollars per square meter. It’s more than 180 dollars per square meter. In total, it’s as high as 600,000 dollars. The down payment is 20%, which is more than 100,000 dollars. Isn’t it a little too much for you to ask for 200,000 dollars? Also, if you pay the down payment, who will repay the loan in the future? Will you pay for it yourself? Or will Dad and Mom pay it back?”

Based on her understanding, this loan was definitely not paid by her parents or them. The only ones who could repay it were probably her sisters.

“Of course, you and Brother-in-law will pay the loan!” Chen Yao’er said matter-of-factly. “If you’re unwilling to pay the loan, it’s fine. Otherwise, you can help me buy the house in full. It’s not much money, only 640,000 dollars. After the house is bought, the other sisters will give me some money to renovate it.”

Chen Qiuxiang suppressed her anger and said calmly, Did you say “I’ll repay the loan? That I’ll give you the full amount? Chen Yao’er, what do you think I am? An ATM? 645,000 dollars? Is it not much money? Do you think you have a lot of money, or do you think I’m rich?”

Chen Yao’er immediately said unhappily, “Sister, your family is so rich. What’s wrong with giving me some money to buy a house? I’m your only brother. If you don’t help me, who else can you help? I’m from your family. In the future, when you’re bullied by your in-laws, I’ll have to stand up for you.”

Chen Qiuxiang was so angry that she laughed.

She said loudly, “I won’t suffer any grievances in my in-laws’ house even if I’m bullied in my maiden home. If I expect you to stand up for me, I might as well hope that a pig can fly into the sky. It’s more practical!”

Her younger brother was spoiled by his parents. Not only was he lazy and idle, but he was also an extremely selfish and greedy person.

“Sister, what do you mean?” Chen Yao’er said unhappily, “Dad and Mom said that you have to buy my house even if you don’t want to buy it. If you really don’t want to buy it, don’t you have a house in your county city? Just give me that house. You don’t have to pay.”

“Impossible!” Chen Qiuxiang said coldly. “That’s my in-laws’ house, not mine.”

It turned out that he had only asked for 100,000 dollars as a test.

His real motive was to ask her to buy a house.

“Then you’re willing to buy me a house!” Chen Yao’er’s eyes lit up. “It’s even better to buy a new house.”

Eldest Sister’s house had long been rented out. A house that had been lived in would definitely not be as good as a new house.

“Impossible!” Chen Qiuxiang refused very sternly. “If you want to buy a house, then buy it yourself. Don’t count on me! Don’t say that I don’t have so much money. Even if I do, I can’t be a fool and help someone buy a house. Then, I’ll be in trouble with my in-laws. I still have my sons and grandchildren to support!”

“Your sons and grandchildren know how to earn their own money! Don’t tell me they expect you to earn money to support them at your age? That’s really unfilial!” Chen Yao’er pouted and said.

At this moment, Shi Lichun really couldn’t stand it anymore.

With a cold expression, he said, “Youngest Brother, you can also earn money to buy a house yourself. you can’t always be relying on parents.”

When Chen Yao’er faced his eldest brother-in-law, he was a little nervous and afraid.

He stuttered, “I… I didn’t count on my parents. Didn’t I ask for your help?”

“Hmph, is that helping?” Shi Lichun said sharply, “You’re asking your elder sister to give it to you directly. Why should your elder sister give it to you? Isn’t it because your parents are still around? Chen Yao’er, we’re very happy to help you buy a house. However, my family’s money isn’t earned by your elder sister, but our entire family’s hard work. She can’t make the decision at all. Why should our family’s money be given to you? My family still has children who are in university and need to get married and buy a house!”

Chen Yao’er was dumbfounded.

It was natural for him to face his eldest sister, but when facing his eldest brother-in-law, he became mute.
