I have ten trillion licking dog gold

"Hua Zi, you've seen it too. Qing Qing is really not at home. Why don't you go back first? I'll tell her when she comes back."

Guests came to the Fang family early in the morning.

Although he couldn't be considered a distinguished guest, he was definitely more distinguished than some other people and brought several boxes of gifts.

But she runs a convenience store, so it’s convenient for her to get the goods from her own store.

"Yes. He is not a stranger, and he is carrying something. Take it back."

Fang Weiguo agreed with his wife and said he would hand the milk and two bottles of Baiyunbian back.

"Brother Fang, Sister Pan, if you have any opinions about me, just tell me directly."

"how can that be possible."

Pan Hui hurriedly denied it.

"Then what's the point of asking me to carry the things back?"

The slightly wealthy woman seemed to have thought of something and sighed deliberately, "Is it because Qingqing has become successful now that she looks down on me..."

"What are you talking about!"

Pan Hui interrupted and said with a helpless smile: "Hua Zi, don't worry, I will definitely talk to Qingqing. You can go back first. The store also needs you to take care of it."

"It's just a small business, it won't be a problem, and Hong Ou is in the store."

The woman was clearly determined not to leave easily. "When will Qingqing come back? I'll wait for her."

Pan Hui felt even more helpless and couldn't help but look at her husband.

Her husband gave her a look.

She understood what her husband meant, but what could she do?
Given the relationship between the two families, you can't just drive someone away with bad words, right?

"I don't know when that girl will come back. The child is grown up, and we as parents can't control too much."

Pan Hui could only deal with it patiently.

The slightly plump woman nodded. "Alas, Qingqing is so outstanding that you and Brother Fang don't need to worry about anything. Sister Pan, you know how much we envy you. Because of Qingqing, Brother Fang retired in his fifties and enjoyed his life, while Hongou and I still have to guard the store day and night."

After being laid off, the entire compound had to make a living on their own, doing all kinds of work, and Fang Weiguo became a truck driver. As everyone knows, truck drivers earn money through hard work, and it is not only tiring but also very dangerous. There are many examples of truck drivers getting accidents on the road.

So after Fang Qing became capable, she "ordered" her father to retire, and the roles of parents and children were reversed for the first time.

Also.

I raised you when you were young, and you raise me when I am old.

Life is a relay race, and children will always take over the baton called "responsibility" from their parents.

"It's not time for you yet. Xiaoyu is still young, and it won't be long before you can enjoy your life."

"Harmful."

Jiang Huazi shook her head. "That kid is no match for Qingqing. Qingqing is so obedient, but he always goes against us."

Having said that, everyone could see that the deliberate dissatisfaction on her face was a disguise. What was more real was her pride and pride in her son.

That's right.

The person who came to visit the Fang family early in the morning was Jiang Chen's aunt. In fact, today was not her first visit recently.

It is obvious that Jiang Huazi did not know that her nephew had returned to Shacheng. What was even more strange was that Fang Weiguo and the other man did not say a word about the fact that Jiang Chen had returned home and was probably sleeping across the street. In order to avoid Jiang Huazi's discovery, they even deliberately closed the door.

"Hua Zi, this is clearly the developer's fault. They didn't deliver the property as agreed upon, and it's been delayed for more than a year. Even an ordinary housewife like me who hasn't received much education knows that this is a serious breach of contract. Can't you just find a lawyer to sue the developer?"

"Sister Pan, do you think we didn't look for it? Before we bothered you and Brother Fang, we had already visited all the law firms in Shacheng, big and small. But the results were always the same. They collected our consulting fees, but told us that we couldn't win the lawsuit, and advised us to negotiate with the developer. But if the developer was a good person and willing to resolve the issue, would they have postponed it for so long? Would there still be rounds of owners going to defend their rights and make trouble?"

"Brother Fang, Sister Pan. We are really desperate. Otherwise, I would not have bothered Qingqing. You know, for ordinary people like us, a house is the crystallization of a lifetime of labor. But the developer took the money but never delivered the house, and we still need to pay the bank mortgage every month..."

Jiang Huazi's face was filled with sorrow and she wanted to cry but had no tears.

Pan Huifang and Weiguo looked at each other and felt sympathy for each other after all.

“It’s not the house you bought…”

Pan Hui pursed her lips.

Jiang Huazi looked at her and smiled bitterly, "Sister Pan, where can we afford to buy so many houses? We have already used up all our energy to open a small shop at the entrance of the community. But it was my suggestion that Zhongquan buy a house in Greenland Phase II. Even if he is not my relative, you say, I can't escape responsibility, right?"

"They're buying a house, why are you giving them blind advice? This is not a trivial matter."

Pan Hui couldn't help but say.

The woman was talking, and Fang Weiguo was sitting next to her without interrupting.

"It's not a small matter. That's why he asked for my advice. Ordinary people may only buy a house once in their lifetime. The reason why I suggested him to buy Greenland Phase II is because I bought a house in Greenland Phase I for many years and it feels good to live in it. The property management is also okay. Who knew that Phase II would have such a big problem."

Jiang Huazi was filled with regret, "If I had known earlier, I would not have said anything even if I was beaten to death. Now I am in trouble, and Hong Ou has also criticized me."

Pan Hui sighed. She could empathize with him, so she couldn't bear it. "You don't have to blame yourself too much. He is your cousin. He asked for your opinion. Can you refuse? You had good intentions at the beginning."

Jiang Huazi smiled bitterly, but also touched, "Sister Pan, thank you for your understanding."

"How about we wait a little longer? Even though it's been overdue for so long, as long as we can still hand over the house in the end..."

Pan Hui's mentality is typical of ordinary people.

The poor should not fight with the rich.

Wealth does not compete with power.

Ordinary people cannot compete with real estate developers.

It’s not just Greenland Phase II that has problems. How many developers can deliver houses on time, as promised, and with guaranteed quality and quantity?
Even if it takes a year or two, as long as people can finally get their houses, they will be satisfied and thank God.

"Sister Pan..."

Jiang Huazi smiled bitterly and shook her head. "If we can see hope, we can wait. But I went there again with Zhongquan yesterday. Almost a month has passed and the project is still suspended. Apart from the owners who are protesting their rights, there is no worker working and the delivery of the houses is nowhere in sight."

Pan Hui was speechless. Today's developers are simply unscrupulous!

but.

What can we, as ordinary people, do?

"Hua Zi, you have hired so many lawyers but to no avail. Can Qing Qing really help you? Otherwise, why don't you think of other ways? For example, report to the relevant departments..."

"it works!"

Jiang Huazi immediately said, "It's useful, Sister Pan! Qingqing is different from those lawyers. She is a big lawyer in a first-tier city. She alone is better than all the law firms in Sand City combined!"

Pan Hui moved her lips, but before she could speak, she was interrupted by Fang Weiguo.

"Come with me for a moment."

Pan Hui paused and said, "Hua Zi, please sit for a while," and then followed her husband into the bedroom.

"Relenting?"

Fang Weiguo closed the bedroom door and lowered his voice.

"No matter what, he is still Lao Jiang's cousin and Jiang Chen's uncle."

Jiang Huazi's cousin is naturally also Jiang Chen's father's cousin. According to seniority, he is Jiang Chen's uncle.

"He is Xiao Jiang's uncle, but you forgot how these people treated Jiang Chen after the old Jiang couple passed away?"

Fang Weiguo frowned, "They actually treated a child as a plague god, afraid that he would drag them down! What kind of relatives are these people? They are worse than strangers!"

"But……"

Pan Hui understood what her husband said, which was why she kept making excuses when Jiang Huazi came to visit them many times. However, they could ignore those people, but Jiang Huazi was, after all, Lao Jiang's biological sister and Jiang Chen's biological aunt.

"Let's not talk about Zhang Zhongquan and the others. Hua Zi is pretty good to Jiang Chen after all. She begs us so much, are we going to show no mercy at all?"

Fang Weiguo was silent, obviously distressed. "If you don't want to, then go and talk to her yourself," Pan Hui said.

"Just say it..."

Fang Weiguo was about to go out when he suddenly heard the sound of conversation outside. His face changed slightly and then he quickly opened the bedroom door.

"Sister-in-law?"

It's still too late.

Jiang Huazi opened the door when she heard the knock, and saw her nephew standing at the door holding some fruit. It was incredible.

"When did you come back?"

"just came back."

Fang Weiguo and his wife hurried out.

"Brother Fang, Sister Pan, Jiang Chen is back, why... didn't you tell me?" Jiang Huazi looked back in a daze.

"I thought you knew."

Jiang Huazi noticed the strangeness in their expressions and also saw that their words were insincere.

Simultaneously.

He also instantly understood why the couple had kept it from him.

No complaints.

She looked gloomy.

In fact, as an aunt, she could just ask her more capable nephew for help, or even ask her nephew to pass on the message to Fang Qing. Why would she need to bother the couple again and again with a sly face? Couldn't she see the couple's evasive attitude?

But she didn't go to find her nephew.

Because of what?
I feel guilty.

So even though she knew that the Fang couple deliberately concealed the news of their nephew's return to Sand City, after a brief change of expression, Jiang Huazi quickly returned to normal and looked at her nephew at the door again as if nothing had happened.

"Come in quickly. You came back so suddenly without telling your aunt."

Jiang Chen entered the room and said with a smile: "My aunt, now you know about this, right?"

"You kid."

Jiang Huazi patted her nephew's shoulder, then watched him put the fruit on the table and said to the Fang couple, "Brother Fang, Sister Pan, Jiang Chen really treats you as his biological parents."

"Hey, don't say that. Jiang Chen said he was going to visit you guys today, and here you are by chance."

Pan Hui was afraid that Jiang Huazi would overthink it, so she helped to explain that family members can never be replaced no matter how much wealth one makes.

Of course, it doesn't matter to a guy who doesn't care about his relatives.

But watching Jiang Chen grow up, how could she not know this child's personality.

Very loyal and righteous.

And he really has very few relatives left in this world.

Relatives, not relatives.

The two concepts are completely different.

Zhang Zhongquan, who bought the second phase of Greenland, is Jiang Chen's uncle by blood relationship, but that guy cannot be considered a relative of this child at all.

If it was Jiang Huazi herself who was the victim, she would not have made excuses or shirked her responsibilities. She would have asked her daughter to help with all her might.

Jiang Huazi knew that the Fang family was trying to smooth things over, and she also needed this opportunity to back off. She asked her nephew with a smile, "Why did you come back so suddenly?"

"Tiejun is getting married, so he came back to join in the fun."

"is it?"

Jiang Huazi was surprised, "I didn't know that yet. Good, that's great. Brother Fang, Sister Pan, we are really old."

"That's right." Pan Hui agreed.

"Aunt, is there something wrong?"

Jiang Chen asked.

It's not that one wouldn't visit here for no reason, but it's unlikely that my aunt who lives outside the city would come here to visit so early in the morning.

"No, nothing. I just came to the city to do some work and stopped by to sit for a while."

Fang Weiguo and his wife looked at each other.

Although Huazi, as the younger sister-in-law, showed limited concern for her nephew Jiang Chen after her brother and sister-in-law passed away, everyone has their own difficulties.

At least from the fact that she didn't say a word about Zhang Zhongquan's affairs, it can be seen that she still loves this child and didn't act like an elder and use morality to kidnap him.

"Jiang Chen, come to my aunt's house for dinner tonight. Brother Fang and Sister Pan will come too, as well as Fang Qing. Invite them all."

Jiang Huazi warmly invites,
"We're not going."

Fang Weiguo immediately declined.

How can I have the nerve to go to someone's house for dinner if I keep making excuses to them?

"Brother Fang, why are you being so polite to me? When I first lived here, you treated me like your sister. You haven't been to my house yet, right?"

"This..." Pan Hui didn't know how to refuse.

"That's settled, I'll go buy some groceries."

Before leaving, Jiang Huazi deliberately reminded her nephew, "Don't bring any gifts, otherwise my aunt will be very unhappy."

"Auntie, won't you sit for a while?"

"No, the food is fresh in the morning. Brother Fang, Sister Pan, see you in the evening."

Jiang Huazi's face was full of smiles. She gouged out her eyes before walking out of Fang's house and didn't tell her nephew when she came back. She walked down a few gloomy steps, her smile disappeared, her steps slowed down, and she sighed softly.

"What's wrong with my aunt?"

After Jiang Huazi left, Jiang Chen asked Uncle Fang and Aunt Pan.

"It's okay, she just came to sit down."

Pan Hui was undoubtedly not very good at lying, and her wandering eyes clearly revealed her duplicity.

Fang Weiguo was helpless.

If you can't act, you don't have to speak.

Whatever.

I guess I can’t hide it from this kid anyway.

They are all mediocre people, how could they possibly deceive such outstanding children.

"Your cousin, Zhang Zhongquan, bought a house near the train station a few years ago, but he was unlucky. Although the project was not abandoned, it showed signs of being abandoned. It has been more than a year since the contracted delivery date, and the construction has been suspended. He is extremely anxious. Isn't your aunt trying to help him find a solution?"

"Are you here to ask Fang Qing for help?"

Jiang Chen understood instantly.

"Yes. Your aunt has come several times, but your aunt Pan and I have been making excuses. Zhang Zhongquan deserves it. He only cares about money and is selfish and snobbish. This time he met an unscrupulous developer. It's retribution. Your aunt didn't mention it to you just now, which means she knows what's going on."

Fang Weiguo's expression was solemn. "Jiang Chen, I know you are a kind-hearted child, but don't worry about this matter."

Jiang Chen looked puzzled, "I don't know anything."

Pan Hui smiled, "You kid." (End of this chapter)
