Chapter 175: Chapter 175 Worrying

Luo Bin really did not want to stay in this house any longer. Everyone in the courtyard was unfriendly to him, but he could not return to Qingshan Village either, as he had not repaid the money he took from home last time.

He had no choice but to go to bed, cover himself with the quilt, and sleep deeply, just pretending not to hear anything.

Inside the house, Qiao Juan said, "When will these chaotic days come to an end? Living in this courtyard really drives me crazy."

Hearing his mother’s words, Luo Tao asked, "Mom, how much money do we have left? If we could buy another courtyard, it would be great. My girlfriend has said that if I don’t have a house, she definitely won’t marry me."

Qiao Juan sighed and said, "Not much. Initially, only your grandfather had a formal job. Our family got dragged to the farm because of his influence. Your grandfather passed away early, and when we returned to the city, we only got compensated for those two years of salary according to the policy.

We spent some when we settled down and bought stuff, and your second uncle gave some money to the Qingshan Village side when he brought Luo Bin back. After we moved back to the city, we also gave some to your maternal grandparents.

There wasn’t much left when we divided the family assets. And with the job transfers you all made a while ago, we spent some more. Now I have only over three hundred yuan in hand; it’s probably not enough to buy a courtyard."

Luo Tao said quietly, "Three hundred is indeed too little, but it might be enough to buy one room. When I have time, I’ll ask around to see if there’s a suitable single room available. I can’t let my brother and sister be without a place to live when I get married."

Qiao Juan thought her eldest son was right. No girl would want to marry into a family without a house, but for the sake of her son’s marriage, she couldn’t leave her other children homeless either.

She glanced at Luo Tiancheng, who was sitting beside her: "What do you think, Dad?"

Luo Tiancheng nodded, "Alright, let’s start by looking around. If there’s a suitable one, we’ll buy it. We have to take this one step at a time."

Qiao Juan looked toward her eldest son: "Taozi, has your girlfriend’s family mentioned anything about the dowry?"

After thinking for a moment, Luo Tao said, "They haven’t said anything specific, only that we should do what other families do."

Luo Tiancheng’s frown deepened. If they bought a house, they would be left with no money. If they couldn’t offer a substantial amount for the wedding, the marriage wouldn’t be possible.

Luo Tao knew what his father was thinking: "Dad, Mom, don’t worry too much. We have to take things step by step. Having a house comes first, then we can consider the rest. Besides, there are several months until the end of the year, and four of us are earning wages, so we can save up a bit more."

In Qingshan Village, Lu Yichen received a message from his grandfather who wanted him to make a trip back to the Capital City. But he was not sure how to face everything yet and had been sitting in the courtyard thinking ever since he finished work.

Thinking of the culprit behind his troubles, he felt an intense desire to tear him to pieces. Yet, he could not do so. The reason he left the Capital for this far-off place was to cool down.

Looking down at his leg, what could he do if he went back? It would be quieter to stay here. It pained him to think his grandfather had to worry about him at such an old age.

Luo Qiao had prepared the meal but saw no sign of Lu Yichen, so she turned to Stone, who was reading a book nearby: "Stone, go and see what’s keeping Brother Lu."

Stone got up and ran outside upon receiving the order, only to see Second Uncle Sun’s family returning to the village at the entrance.

Upon entering the courtyard and seeing Lu Yichen sitting there, he said, "Brother Lu, what are you daydreaming about? Sister Luo Qiao sent me to check why you haven’t come over. The food has been ready for a while."

Lu Yichen came back to his senses, looked at the sky, and stood up to follow Stone out of the courtyard.
