Chapter 420: Chapter 404 Buying a House (Part 2)

"That’s also true."

He Damei recalled and then chuckled wickedly, "The family above us bought their place only six months after we did, and when they heard about our house’s price, they nearly cried. So the current price of this house isn’t unjust. I just feel like we’ve been busy for nothing these past few years."

"How have we been busy for nothing? Keeping more houses and land for the descendants, that’s what really matters," Su Family’s Sixth Son finished the last bite of his pear and tossed the core away. He wiped his hands on his clothes and spoke with a voice still full of vitality.

"If we have enough money, then let’s buy it. Who knows, in a few years we might not be able to afford it." Su Family’s Sixth Son spoke without a hint of hesitation.

"But once we’ve bought it, we won’t have any money left. What if something happens?" asked He Damei hesitantly. Her primary concern was that Su Family’s Sixth Son was getting on in years and if he fell ill, they wouldn’t have any money to spare.

She knew her daughter-in-law had some money, but she wasn’t sure if her daughter-in-law would be willing to pitch in when the time came.

"The name on our current house is yours and Third Brother’s, right?" Su Family’s Sixth Son paused, as if thinking of something, then turned to ask He Damei.

"Yes, when you insisted on putting our names on it, you said it was to avoid worries about you having any problems or entanglements in the future. Plus, one house could be exchanged for three rural household registrations. Back then, Third Brother, Xiaokai, and I all changed our registrations to S City," He Damei nodded as she answered.

"Later, we’ll ask Xiaokai’s wife how much money she has on hand; she should take it all out. The new house we buy should be in her and Xiaokai’s name," Su Family’s Sixth Son decided firmly.

"Ah--"

He Damei was taken aback and began to hesitate, regretting her earlier unnecessary comment.

"That was my plan as well. You already have a house and have changed your registrations to S City. With this backing, you won’t have to worry about the descendants not taking care of you when you’re old with nothing to rely on. Besides Xiaokai, who else will you pass the house on to in the future? Putting Xiaokai’s wife’s name on the house is also to put her mind at ease and make her want to stay and live her life here comfortably," he explained.

Su Family’s Sixth Son took out a cigarette but, seeing his great-grandson absorbed in the TV, decided not to light it. He just held the cigarette under his nose and sniffed it.

"Don’t feel uneasy. Dad makes sense; we should listen to him. Her son has already been born, and having her name on the house deed can change his household registration. When the time comes for Yishan to go to school, his household registration is still with our daughter-in-law at her parent’s home, right? Doesn’t it need to be changed over here?" Su Family’s Third Son nudged He Damei and added softly.

"That’s the way it is. We’ll just say that to our daughter-in-law later on," He Damei’s face relaxed, and after careful consideration, she patted her grandson’s head and agreed with a smile.

In the kitchen, neither of them heard the commotion in the living room. Deng Ximei glanced at Su Kai with worry, "What’s the matter with you today? You seem to be in low spirits."

"I saw my cousin and her family," Su Kai sighed.

"They’ve come to S City too? What did they say to make you so unhappy?" Deng Ximei was startled, pausing with her stir-fry spoon in hand.

"I just glimpsed them from a distance, then I avoided them; they didn’t see me."

Su Kai felt a bit dejected. Upon seeing Lu Yun and her family, he instinctively hid, without any intention of approaching them. Afterwards, he felt uncomfortable, an indescribable unease, as if his whole body was ill at ease.

"We didn’t run into each other, huh?"

Deng Ximei, somehow also relieved, looked at Su Kai and comforted him, "Don’t think too much about it, and there’s no need to envy them. We live a different life. We have our own days to live, and now our family is indeed living a prosperous life. Let the past be the past. As long as we don’t provoke them in the future, they have no reason to trouble us, right?"

"Yeah, I actually understand that, but it still feels strange," Su Kai sighed. But seeing Deng Ximei looking at him with worry, he forced a smile and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t provoke them anymore. Maybe things are best the way they are now. Grandpa even said that when he passes away, there’s no need to send him back to Yushu Village. I guess our family will probably never return to Yushu Village in this lifetime."

"Xiaokai."

Deng Ximei set down the spatula and hugged him with a heart full of sympathy.

"You said you saw Su Kai today?" Lu Yun felt a slight detachment at the sound of this somewhat unfamiliar name.

She didn’t really dislike Su Kai himself, as the only grandchild of Chen Juxiang, his presence was always low in her past life—a person who knew the times. Although he was closely related to her by blood, he knew she detested the Su Family, so he made sure not to step forward and quietly lived his own little life.

"He also saw us and immediately hid the moment he caught sight, as if he was afraid we would see him too," Shitou said with a slight smile, "So at that moment I didn’t call out to him, and I took the chance to check on their current situation."

"Oh, so they settled down in S City after they left that year. How are they living? They haven’t gotten into any trouble, have they?" Lu Yun asked casually.

"They’re quite well-behaved. After leaving Yushu Village, the whole family became more diligent and hardworking, a complete turnaround from the defeatist attitude they had while in Yushu Village. People are truly motivated to do better once they taste success, striving to make their lives more prosperous," Shitou briefly summarized the changes in the Su Family over the years. Even if Shitou tried to keep it simple, the intricacies took nearly half an hour to explain.

"A tree may die if transplanted, but a person will thrive. It seems they made the right choice to take this brave step," Lu Yun sighed softly, "To be able to acknowledge one’s mistakes and correct them is commendable. All these years have passed, and both my mother and I have lived happily. Now, not to mention that Chen Juxiang is already dead, even if she weren’t, I have no intention of holding onto their past. That year when we went back to Yushu Village for the wedding, didn’t my parents also show goodwill towards the Su Family? So they really didn’t need to cut ties so thoroughly, even selling their house and land in Yushu Village. It seems they have been looking to sever their ties with Yushu Village for these years."

Even though she claimed to be indifferent, Lu Yun was patient enough to let Shitou finish speaking, and knowing that the Su Family was living fairly well, she ultimately heaved a sigh of relief.

The punishments inflicted by other members of the Su Family, who had been involved in abusing her for half a year, had been compensated for with the passage of several decades from two lifetimes combined. From now on, if everyone goes their separate ways without interfering with each other, it’s probably the most ideal conclusion.
