Chapter 211 Selling a House
Darong listened to the third brother's narration with a frown on her face, and said nothing, because she really didn't know what to say. In the beginning, Xiao Ling risked her life to marry Linlin just for material vanity, and now that he was involved in gambling, how many more years of glory could she have?
"What should I do? If the money is involved in the game and it's haunted, it will be ruined."
Even though the third brother had comforted her, Darong's mother still deeply understood that pornography, gambling and drugs were bad habits that could never be quit. Sitting on the bed, she became completely depressed.
"What should I do? She just gave birth to a pair of little girls and now she's pregnant with her third child. With these three children, she can't leave the family home."
The third brother shook his head and looked helpless.
"Ah? Pregnant again? How long has it been? Isn't it at least three to five years to have a caesarean section?"
When Darong heard that Linlin was pregnant again, she looked at the third brother in shock.
"You don't know? I saw my sister-in-law downstairs that day. She said that Linlin wanted to eat something sour, so this baby must be a boy. You didn't see her expression. Hum... I can't tell."
Darong could imagine the expression on the third brother's face. To Xiao Ling, it seemed that her daughter and family affection were far inferior to the vanity that money could bring.
It’s not that Darong doesn’t envy other people’s wealthy lives. Everyone hopes that their life will not be burdened by money, but what Darong cares more about is whether her children are happy.
Although Ruyi did not live a wealthy life, she and Xiao Huya were able to live a down-to-earth life on their own without worries about food and clothing, and Darong was already very satisfied.
"It's hard to tell who's better. Money alone is useless. Linlin doesn't come to see me twice a week. When she comes, she takes care of the two children by herself. Her husband never touches the children."
Darong's mother has been dissatisfied with Xiao Ling for a long time, so naturally she would blame all of Linlin's misfortunes on Xiao Ling's greed.
"Mom, children will always listen to you. Please don't say anything in front of Linlin. I'm afraid that your good intentions may cause dissatisfaction among others." Darong quickly spoke up to reconcile Darong's mother.
"I know, but I won't tell you."
While Darong and the third child were still chatting, the home phone rang. Darong's mother never knew how to use a mobile phone, so she kept the home phone.
"Hua Zi, hurry up, your dad has high blood pressure in the bathhouse..."
Before Darong's mother hung up the phone, she shouted to the third child in a trembling voice.
The third brother quickly rushed out from the inner room, and Darong quickly followed him to the door.
"Sister, don't follow me. Call my brother first and ask him to go directly to the bathhouse that our father usually goes to, and then tell our mother not to worry."
The third brother glanced at Darong's mother, whose legs and feet were weak and eyes were filled with tears, and gave instructions to Darong.
The first thing Darong thought of was to pick up Darong's father, but she didn't expect that Darong's mother was already frightened.
Many old men in the north like to take a bath and drink tea in the bathhouse. Darong’s father has this hobby on weekdays. He goes to the same bathhouse almost every day, takes a bath and chats with his old friends.
So the third and fourth brothers quickly rushed to Darong's father's side, and the two brothers sent Darong's father directly to the hospital.
Fortunately, it was not a serious matter because I forgot to take my antihypertensive medicine and soaked in relatively hot water, which caused a sudden rise in blood pressure. After treatment, there were no serious consequences.
"You scared everyone to death, and I reminded you not to forget to take medicine when you left. What a stupid person you are." Darong's mother said in a reproachful tone while sitting in front of the hospital bed.
Darong's father was still lying on the bed feeling dizzy. He just smiled and held Darong's mother's hand.
Because he had good physical fitness when he was young and had no underlying diseases except high blood pressure, Darong's father was discharged from the hospital and went home after two days of observation.
"The doctor said my dad can't do strenuous exercise anymore. This time it was pretty dangerous. His blood pressure was over 180. Fortunately he has a good foundation."
Darong was lying on the bed, talking to Zhong Yunxing about the health condition of Darong's father. While Darong's father was staying in the hospital for observation, Zhong's father was also discharged from the hospital and went home.
"I asked my mother to move to our place twice, but she said our place is too remote and she didn't want to leave the land in the town where she has lived all her life. I want to sell my place and buy a low-rise apartment for them to live in first."
Darong expressed her thoughts in one breath. She knew that under the current circumstances it was impossible to expect the four generations to fulfill their promise, and the third child had always been dissatisfied with his parents' favoritism and probably would not consider these issues.
If you want to make your parents' lives easier, you can only rely on your own abilities, because once it is raised, it becomes a family conflict, and if you solve the problem yourself, then at least your parents don't have to face the disputes between their children anymore.
"Sure, but the house must be in our own name. Don't even think about doing something like his second aunt did. I will fully support you in changing the house or taking care of grandma and grandpa in their old age, but our things can only be left to Ruyi alone."
Zhong Yunxing could tell that Darong had really made up her mind this time, so he made his position very clear.
When it comes to honoring parents, Zhong Yunxing will definitely treat them the same way Darong treats her own parents. Although he was also born in the 60s, he does not have the bad idea that being a daughter means he doesn't have to take care of them in their old age.
Zhong Yunxing and Darong have lived in poverty and hardship for most of their lives, but they are still each other's regretless choice that they would never trade for anything else.
They may lack the material enjoyment brought by wealth, but in the two-way emotional world, they are definitely winners in life.
Although Darong did not catch up with the sky-high price of 150 million yuan at the peak of the real estate market, she still sold her high-rise unit for more than three times the price.
On the day the house was handed over, Darong refused to go and left it entirely to Ruyi and Xiao Huya to do.
Later she told Ruyi that after the house was sold, she and Zhong Yunxing would no longer have their own home, and she was afraid that she would not be able to hold back her tears.
Darong and Zhong Yunxing worked hard for most of their lives, but in the end it seemed as if they were back to square one.
It’s just that Ruyi has been experiencing their stories personally, and has learned what love and filial piety are from their lives.
The wealth that parents can give to their children will eventually run out, but the love and responsibility they practice can teach their children how to be independent.
After experiencing Darong's father's illness, Darong's mother finally stopped being stubborn, agreed with Darong's opinion, and agreed to move into Darong's house.
This also allowed Darong to finally put her mind at ease and completely relax.
