Chapter 1080: Sax 752

Believe in the power of belief.

Fang Weiguo may not have read many books, or enjoyed much luxury in his life, but he has always been full of hope for the land he lives on.

What is the true meaning of teaching by example?

Jiang Chen’s path may have been fraught with difficulties, yet he has managed to maintain an optimistic and positive attitude, perhaps the answer lies with the people around him.

After strolling around the town of Monterrey Aulay for a while, the family of three headed to Cefalu Crescent Beach by car, a spot famed as the most beautiful corner of Sicily, with its delicate beaches and old town architecture from the last century, giving the impression of traveling through time and space.

"It really is different from our Ma River."

Fang Weiguo stood by the beach.

In Sha City’s old town, there is a moat that winds around the city wall, known locally as the Ma River, only a few minutes’ walk from the Sanjian Compound.

The grassy banks of the Ma River also carry the childhood memories of children like Fang Qing.

Pan Hui was amused by her husband’s humor, and even though she wanted to say something in response, in the end, she chose not to argue.

"It would be great if Sha City could develop tourism."

During their youth, Sha City was quite impressive, holding an important position in the province and strategically far ahead.

But the merciless wheels of history have turned, and in the grand development of the country over the past few decades, Sha City has gradually fallen behind, like Shang Zhongyong in the primary school textbooks—once a prodigy, now repeatedly crushed by the tides of time and faded into obscurity.

"Difficult."

Fang Weiguo sighed at his wife’s vision, summarizing in one word.

"Dad, hasn’t Sha City been paying more attention to tourism lately? I see that the city walls have been renovated, and the Ma River is cleaner than before."

"You haven’t spent much time at home; the longer you stay, the more you’ll realize it’s not just that. The government has made many efforts, launched numerous projects, but none have taken off. Sha City’s golden period of development has passed; now, trying to catch up is like locking the stable door after the horse has bolted."

Fang Weiguo lamented, "Some things, once lost, are very hard to regain."

Fang Qing fell silent.

"We are just ordinary people; why worry so much? The only issue is that our compound is really too old, some buildings are actually hazardous; bricks fall from the walls now and then, nearly hitting someone multiple times."

"Mom, didn’t you say there was talk of demolition?"

"Yes, there’s been talk year after year, but nothing definite ever happens. If it were demolished, at least we could get some compensation."

"Women’s horizons can be so narrow. Our house isn’t privately owned; how much do you think we could get from the demolition? With house prices so high now, even the compensation money might not be enough to buy a new house on the outskirts."

"So are you saying we should keep living there? Never buy a house?"

Pan Hui said, "It doesn’t matter to me, but what about our daughter? Look how many people from our courtyard have moved away. If she starts dating and brings someone home, would you be ashamed to let them into our house?"

Fang Weiguo had no comeback,

"Mom, why are you dragging me into this out of nowhere?"

"Doesn’t what I’m saying make sense? You’ll have to date and get married eventually, right? Your parents might not be very capable, but at least we shouldn’t hold you back, right? I’ve always wanted to talk to you about this, it’s time to consider buying property outside the city. At least you could bring someone home, and they’d have a place to stay. They certainly can’t be expected to stay in a hotel, now can they?"

Their current home is only sixty square meters, with two rooms; if there was indeed a son-in-law, he definitely wouldn’t fit.

"Mom, you’re really thinking far ahead."

Fang Qing said half laughing and half crying.

"It’s the reality."

Pan Hui spoke earnestly, "After returning, let’s go have a look at some houses."

"Do you think your daughter will come back in the future? She’s definitely going to make a life for herself out there, you might as well save the money and buy her a house elsewhere." Fang Weiguo shared his opinion.

"Look at your dad. At his age, he never makes sense. We can’t afford a house in Sha City, let alone one in another city. Do you know how expensive housing is in first-tier and second-tier cities?"

Fang Weiguo was at a loss for words.

"Don’t worry about the house, Mom and Dad."

Fang Qing said with a wistful smile, "If you really think we need to change houses, we can go see some when we get back. As for my future home... your daughter has read many books; I should have some ability to earn money, no?"

"Qing Qing, it’s not that I think you can’t make money, but the house prices in big cities are really exorbitant. You might need to work for ten years just to save for a down payment. Ten years—you’ll be how old by then?"

"It’s not always the man who buys the house."

Fang Weiguo muttered.

"Nonsense."

Pan Hui immediately responded, "Nowadays, it’s all about gender equality. Qing Qing, when you find someone, you can’t rely entirely on them. Only through joint effort can a family be well-managed."

Fang Weiguo did not argue with his wife; he had just made a casual remark, but in truth, he held the same view as his wife—if he really wanted his daughter to find a wealthy son-in-law for themselves, he wouldn’t always be harboring thoughts of that penniless kid next door.

"Mom, I understand what you’re saying, don’t you know your own daughter? Would I ever depend on a man?"

Fang Qing chuckled, "Actually, the house prices outside aren’t as bad as you imagine. If it’s expensive, then we just pick a more remote place, that’s all."
