Chapter 238: Chen Wei’s Gratitude
With Yun Linhai and Yun Linhe, two strong men present, their side even had more people than the Chen family. Everyone shouted, wanting to take them to the police station to reason with the public security comrades.
The Chen family’s faces turned ashen; they didn’t dare to go to the police station at all.
This matter was already handled improperly by them, and they were morally kidnapping Chen Wei to force her to give up the house.
Seeing that the situation was not favorable, the Chen family left, scolding and grumbling.
“Hey, don’t go, what about you hitting my elders and child?”
As soon as Wang Mei said this, those people ran even faster.
“Done.”
After the people left and were out of sight, they couldn’t help but laugh.
The reason for this stunt was that they were thinking if the house was truly bought later, and if the Chen family couldn’t handle it, how could they continue to live there.
If they didn’t like it, it would be even easier to say; anyway, they didn’t know each other, and they wouldn’t be able to track them down to their homes even if they were at opposite ends of the country.
“Thank you, thank you all.”
However, their casual help was a great kindness to Chen Wei.
Her eyes reddened, and she knelt down.
“Aiyo, daughter, we can’t accept such a grand gesture from you.”
“I can, thank you for your help, otherwise I wouldn’t know what to do.”
Yun Linhai scratched his head, “Uh, we came to see the house.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Wei’s eyes lit up even more.
“Okay, I’ll take you to see it!”
Chen Wei’s family used to be in business and was very wealthy, which is why they bought this large residence.
But because of this, they were later reported and labeled as capitalists.
Tragically, it was their own kin who reported them.
Many parts of the house were smashed, but after repairs, it was still beautiful, and most importantly, it was large.
A four-courtyard siheyuan is much larger than a three-courtyard one.
It even came with several gardens.
These gardens, even if not planted with flowers and plants, could be used to grow vegetables for self-sufficiency.
However, although the residence was large, it was also very empty.
Because anything that could be moved was taken away when their family fell on hard times.
Similar to Old Master Mu’s residence, the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and the rooms were left with furniture scraps that were damaged and askew from being smashed.
Chen Wei forced a smile.
“I haven’t finished tidying up these things yet.”
“I’ll sell you the house at a low price, only thirty thousand, thirty thousand is enough.”
Although this siheyuan was large, it was also severely damaged.
However, it was still a four-courtyard siheyuan, and at market price, it would be at least sixty to seventy thousand.
Chen Wei’s price was indeed very low.
Yun Jiao, with her hands behind her back, strolled around behind the elders, and she was actually quite satisfied.
It would look good after tidying up.
“Grandma, I want it.”
This was because she liked it and also to help the pitiful child Chen Wei.
As a young girl, if she continued to stay here guarding the house, she would have to endure more grievances.
Under Chen Wei’s anxious and expectant gaze, Granny Yun patted Chen Wei’s hand.
“Daughter, we’ll buy this siheyuan, and you don’t need to lower the price so much, we’ll pay the market price.”
Although they were happy to get the house cheaply, such a huge discount was like bullying a child, especially a young girl in distress.
Their consciences wouldn’t be at ease.
The middle-aged man who introduced them to buy the house immediately said, “At market price, this four-courtyard siheyuan is sixty to seventy thousand.”
After her surprise, Chen Wei quickly waved her hands, “It… it won’t cost that much, many parts of the house need repairs, and… and those people.”
Speaking of the Chen family, Chen Wei lowered her head.
“You must be careful.”
“Don’t worry, since we’ve bought it, we’ll find a way to resolve the issue.”
“Then let’s say fifty thousand.”
Granny Yun pondered for a moment and said, “At this price, neither of us loses.”
Finally, the four-courtyard siheyuan was settled for fifty thousand.
That day, the money was transacted to Chen Wei, and they also went through the title transfer procedures.
With the previous experience, this time it was much faster.
Granny Yun said to Chen Wei, “Daughter, if you can leave earlier, the sooner the better. The country is vast, and now with trains, you can go anywhere. They won’t find you. Also, when you leave by train, you must pay attention to safety. Keep your valuables hidden, as there are many pickpockets on trains.
Don’t trust strangers easily either. Those damned human traffickers not only abduct children, but lone women are also easily trafficked. Take your money and find a reliable job, be cautious, and live a good life in the future.”
Facing Granny Yun’s earnest advice, which was like that of a relative, Chen Wei felt warmth from a stranger for the first time since her parents left.
She couldn’t help but hug Granny Yun and cry her heart out.
It was as if she was venting all the grievances she had suffered over the years.
Shen Yunlian and Wang Mei’s eyes also turned slightly red.
What a good child, to have encountered such a family and be so unlucky, it’s truly a sin.
After Chen Wei finished crying, she shyly wiped her eyes.
“Thank you.”
At this moment, although her face was still marked with fatigue and weariness, her eyes were bright, carrying hope for her new life ahead.
As she was leaving, she suddenly knelt and bowed three times in Granny Yun’s direction. They couldn’t stop her and turned to leave without a word.
“Sigh… she’s also a pitiful one.”
Yun Jiao stood beside Granny Yun and also sighed.
Everyone couldn’t help but look at her with amusement, “Why are you sighing too, do you also feel sorry for that big sister?”
Yun Jiao thought for a moment, then nodded and shook her head.
“She was pitiful before, but now, she’s not.”
Because she had escaped.
Yun Linhai picked up his daughter, “Daughter is right, let’s go, we also have things to attend to.”
Yun Jiao asked Grandpa Yun and Granny Yun to register this four-courtyard siheyuan under their names.
The two elders didn’t refuse, saying they wouldn’t live much longer, and the house could be directly transferred to Jiao Jiao’s name after they passed away.
Yun Jiao calculated, “I still need to buy, a three-courtyard one. Uncle and Aunt will also have one. Jiao Jiao isn’t biased.”
“How is Jiao Jiao so good?”
Wang Mei said, “You don’t need to buy for us, we’ll live with Parents in the capital, and we won’t say you’re biased.”
Yun Jiao shook her head, insisting on buying.
She was very generous, “I’ll buy, I’m not short of money!”
She was like a little god of wealth scattering money.
However, for her now, she truly wasn’t short of money.
As they chatted, the conversation turned to those two families.
They were all pitiable people. Compared to the old couple and Chen Wei, Granny Yun and Grandpa Yun suddenly felt very fortunate.
Although their family was poor before, they were all together as a complete unit.
Now, they had a happiness they couldn’t even dream of.
“Old Man Liu and his wife are leaving in three days, right?”
Granny Yun said, “Should we go and see them off then? After all, we’ve known each other.”
“Let’s go.”
Grandpa Yun nodded, “Fourth Grandson, take your camera, let’s go take some photos of that house and get them printed to give to them.”
