Siheyuan: If you ruin the reputation of the whole courtyard, I will move out
Chapter 118 Buying a House
Nan Li said: "You are right. I was planning to pay half of the medical expenses, but my mother refused."
Zhang Yu smiled and said, "How could I not understand Auntie's thoughts? After all, Auntie Cai has taken care of Uncle Nan for more than ten years. After all, they are married, so she should have a share of the property rights."
Nan Li added, "It's not just about the share. The divorce agreement clearly stated that Dad only owns half of the property. According to the Marriage Law, even if he didn't divide it while he was alive, Aunt Cai still has the right to inherit half of his estate. We have to divide the remaining half equally with her according to the law."
Zhang Yu suddenly understood: "So your mother insisted on selling the house in order to get back her half and pay part of your father's medical expenses?"
Nan Li looked a little aggrieved: "Yes, I can use part of my father's inheritance to treat him. But the problem now is that Aunt Cai is unwilling to use this part of the money for treatment."
Zhang Yu said, "Think about her too. After all, without a pension and a house, how will her life be in the future?"
Nan Li said firmly: "But she has a daughter, Tian Yulan. Remember she said that mom married Nan's father not for his money or house. Now is the time to test this oath."
Zhang Yu roughly understood Nan Li's thoughts, so he didn't stay in the hospital for too long. He told Tian Yulan and Cai Juying the whole conversation.
"What do you want us to sell the house?" Tian Yulan asked over the phone.
Zhang Yu replied: "The key lies in whether Aunt Cai really wants Uncle Nan to continue like this. If she insists on not selling the property to raise medical expenses, Uncle Nan will probably have to wait for death at home."
The background noise of the phone allowed Cai Juying to hear the conversation.
"I can't let Brother Nan stay at home." She cried, "I can accept the suggestion of selling the house, but no matter what, I can't let Brother Nan die."
"Mom, please think carefully. You will have nowhere to live after selling the property." Tian Yulan said hurriedly.
Zhang Yu then asked: "Didn't you just buy a new house? Don't you plan to bring your mother with you?"
"Of course, I would be happy to live with my mother. But we only bought a single apartment with only one room, and it will take another two years before we can move in," Tian Yulan explained in detail.
Zhang Yu continued to calculate: "After selling the house, Nan Li's mother can take half, and Nan Li has also expressed her willingness to use the remaining part to pay for medical expenses. By then, there should be some surplus, and renting a house will not be a problem."
Tian Yulan certainly understood that Cai Juying could leave some property if she sold the house, but this result was far from what she had originally imagined.
It was originally thought that after Cai Juying and Nan Jianlong got married, they would have a worry-free life in the future and would have pension security.
A serious illness not only consumed Nan Jianlong's savings, but now he may also lose his house. It seems that his future retirement will largely depend on Tian Yulan.
"Lanlan, I'm here. I have hands and feet and can do things. I won't be a burden to you." Cai Juying took Tian Yulan's hand and promised while sobbing.
"Mom, I didn't mean that. You are my only family, how can I just ignore you? I just think it's sad that you married Nan's father and ended up in such a situation."
Hearing this, Zhang Yu felt powerless to complain: "What do you mean by having nothing? Didn't Nan Jianlong pay for your college education? Didn't Aunt Cai rely on him for the past ten years?"
Look at the person in front of you, isn’t it because of Nan Jianlong that he has achieved what he has today?
"You can't put it that way." Cai Juying said, "Uncle Nan has taken care of my mother and me for many years, and I am extremely grateful. Even if things get tough in the future, it won't be any harder than it was before."
After hearing this, Zhang Yu felt that the help was worthwhile: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will help you find a job. The country also has policy subsidies for situations like yours. I can apply to assist you."
Cai Juying said with gratitude: "Thank you, Yan Peng."
Zhang Yu then ended the conversation and contacted Yan's father, telling him about the situation of Cai Juying and Nan Jianlong and asking for help.
Upon learning of Nan Jianlong's miserable condition and Cai Juying's lonely old age, Yan's father, who was once a relative, decided to help out of empathy and asked Zhang Yu to wait for further news.
Zhang Yu hung up the phone and went to find Nan Li and Xia Junshan to inform them of Cai Juying's willingness to sell the property.
Nan Li said with emotion: "Father was right after all." She suggested: "After selling the house, I will use my share to pay for Dad's medical expenses first, and the rest will go to Aunt Cai. If it's still not enough, let her pay for it."
Seeing Nan Li take a step back, Zhang Yu's opinion of her changed slightly. After all, although Nan Li was proud, she still had compassion in her heart. Although Cai Juying had been a lover when she was young, she did not abandon Nan Jianlong when it came to life and death.
As for Tian Yulan, Zhang Yu felt a little resentful in his heart, thinking that her values were distorted. Fortunately, they had already divorced.
After arranging Cai Juying's affairs, Zhang Yu went to the hospital to visit Zhang Xueer again. Before that, he had agreed with Yan's mother to take Yan Ziyou to visit her after get off work.
When they arrived at the hospital, Yan's mother and son had already arrived. Zhang Yu asked them to go visit Zhang Xueer first.
Seeing that Zhang Xueer had woken up, Yan Ziyou was concentrating on peeling oranges for her. His mother Yan and his in-laws Zhang were chatting happily.
When Yan's mother saw Zhang Yu, she scolded him, "Yan Peng, why are you here just now? Didn't we agree on a time?" Then, he embarrassedly explained the delay to Zhang Xueer and presented her with a fruit basket that he had prepared in advance.
Zhang's mother said dissatisfiedly, "It's good that you're here. Why bring so many things? Your mother came to visit Xiaoxue'er and brought a lot of things."
Zhang Xueer looked healthy, but the bandages wrapped around her head prevented any further indication of her illness.
After asking, Zhang Yu asked with concern: "Xue'er, are you feeling better? I know your mother must have mentioned me to you. I was the one who sent you here despite the danger."
"Brother Yan, I'm fine, thank you. You're so polite." Zhang Xueer forced a smile and responded, "We are so familiar with each other, even if we are strangers, we will do our best to help in such a situation."
Then, Zhang's mother reported that the doctor diagnosed that Zhang Xueer's head injury had improved and was not serious, but there were some minor cracks in her ribs and she needed to rest.
Zhang Yu understood what his mother meant and reminded Zhang Xueer to take good care of herself and they would come to visit her again when they had time. Zhang's mother also suggested: "You two are so close, calling Xueer 'teacher' sounds strange, why not call her by her name?"
After hearing the suggestion, Zhang Xueer nodded and agreed: "Yes, Brother Yan, just call me Xiaoxue."
Without further ado, just as he was about to ask Yan Ziyu and Yan's mother to leave, Zhong Yi suddenly walked into the ward.
Seeing him, Zhong Yi approached Zhang Xueer with a bouquet of flowers, full of apology, and Zhang's mother's face instantly became gloomy when she saw him.
"What are you going to do?" Zhang's mother asked sternly, her tone full of blame and hatred, "Haven't you hurt Xue'er enough? Get away from me now!"
After some questioning, Zhang Xueer, with tears in her eyes, told the story of Zhong Yi and Dai Sisi in bits and pieces. After knowing this, Zhang's mother was furious and wanted to find Zhong Yi to argue, but was stopped by Zhang Xueer.
However, in the end, Zhong Yi actually showed up on his own initiative and dared to go to the hospital to beg for forgiveness. It was impossible for him to get a good look from Zhang's mother.
Zhang's mother snatched the bouquet and threw it out of the ward, cursing loudly and driving Zhong Yi away. Although Zhong Yi asked to meet Xue'er to apologize, Zhang's mother stood firm and would not let him get close: "Unless I die, I will not let you harm Xiaoxue again."
The mother and her two children stood in the ward in an awkward atmosphere, unable to leave and not knowing how to deal with this sudden situation. From the moment Zhong Yi showed up, Zhang Xueer burst into tears and avoided the truth of it all.
Zhang Xueer and Zhong Yi have been dating for many years since they met in college, and the two have a deep relationship. However, deep feelings often come with a greater risk of betrayal. In this kind of thing, it is difficult for bystanders to intervene, and it all depends on how the parties involved let it go.
After seeing Zhong Yi off, Zhang's mother returned to the ward with an embarrassed look on her face. She said to Zhang Yu apologetically, "I'm so sorry for making everyone laugh."
Zhang Yu quickly pulled the mother and child away: "It's okay, we should let Xue'er rest, otherwise I don't know what will happen." He knew very well that staying any longer would only increase the variables.
Zhang's mother was left alone to accompany Xue'er. She comforted her sad daughter: "Xue'er, don't be sad. A man like Zhong Yi is not worthy of your feelings at all. End it with him quickly!" But Xue'er was still sobbing in the quilt and did not respond.
The mother was furious: "I've long said that Zhong Yi is unreliable. I don't think he's honest. I don't dislike him, but I've seen a lot of the world and I can judge people very well. I've long noticed that he has a problem with his character. I guess I was right."
Faced with the endless chatter, Xueer couldn't stand it anymore and pulled back the quilt and said, "Mom, can you let me be quiet for a while?" She felt tired.
The mother said distressedly, "I'm not annoyed with you, I'm just afraid that you will be soft-hearted. Cheating is about principles. He did this before he even got married. How can he be any better after marriage?"
Hearing her daughter's promise, the mother was overjoyed: "It's great that you promised me. I'm doing this for your own good."
But Xue'er just wanted to be alone, but her mother spoke again: "I think Yan Peng is good, and his conditions are good. Do you want to give it a try?"
Xue'er said helplessly: "Mom, don't arrange these for me. Yan Peng is much older than me and he has a son. It's impossible." But she did not mention that her considerations went beyond the scope of emotions.
The mother didn't care: "I have already talked to Yan Peng's mother. Age is not a problem. You two are not that far apart. And don't you like that boy's child? Yan Peng loves her very much."
Xue Er retorted, "My love for the child doesn't mean I want to be his stepmother. Yan Peng loves his ex-wife very much, and she insisted on the divorce, but they still get along well after they separated. Maybe they will get back together one day, after all, there is a child."
However, the mother was puzzled: "Then his mother didn't tell me that she wanted to get back together."
Xue Er replied: "Even if he didn't say it, it doesn't matter if he doesn't remarry. I am Yan Ziyou's teacher, and his father is the parent of my student. It's not appropriate."
The mother didn't take it seriously: "The child will graduate from junior high school soon, and you won't teach him then. When looking for a partner, quality is the key. Nothing else is as important as a good person."
Xue'er said dejectedly: "Mom, I want to calm down and think about it. I really don't want to fall in love for the time being." This scared Zhang's mother the most. She was afraid that her daughter would be deeply hurt emotionally.
A similar scene also happened in Yan Peng's car. Zhang Yu's mother kept urging him, "Yan Peng, I think Teacher Zhang is pretty good. She is beautiful, knowledgeable, and has a good personality. Do you want to get closer to her?" She kept bringing up this topic in her son's ear.
In response to this, Yan's mother asked directly, regardless of the fact that her son was in the car: "What's the matter? Ziyou will understand when he grows up. What do you think of them?" Although her tone seemed a little abrupt, Yan Ziyou did not give any response, perhaps he had hope in his heart.
Yan's mother saw through Yan Ziyou's thoughts at a glance, and she persuaded him: "Ziyou, don't you want Dad to find a companion so that someone can take care of him in the future?" Yan Ziyou nodded slightly, but still did not speak.
Taking advantage of his slight chance to respond, Yan's mother immediately said, "Look at Teacher Xue'er. She is so kind to you and knows our family very well. If she..."
"I already have a mother." Yan Ziyu suddenly interrupted.
Zhang Yu, who was driving, saw Ziyou's reaction and immediately reminded Yan's mother, "Mom, don't act like a matchmaker. There is no way that Teacher Zhang and I can be together. She is so good, how could she look down on a divorced me?"
