No matter what Mrs. Qiu really thinks, after this incident, her current husband, who looks sweet on the outside but is actually bitter on the inside, will have to pay out hundreds of thousands of dollars even if he is unwilling, just to show his appreciation.

However, for Qiu Han, this was already unexpected wealth, so he didn't even bother to argue over the amount.

In 2013, after Qiu Han got the money, he paid the down payment with the help of Lu Mingjun and bought a small apartment in Hexi, N City.

Moreover, under Lu Mingjun's suggestion, even if Qiu Han moved out, he would always go back to the compound to visit Mrs. Qiu and the others every month, carrying the bags that he had carefully selected online.

Of course, when Mother Qiu took a look at those things that were beautifully packaged but worthless, she would naturally feel a little "weird".

But at this moment, Qiu Han didn't care at all: if her biological mother and stepfather were unhappy, then so be it. Anyway, Lawyer Lu said that as long as the neighbors saw her "filial piety", it would be enough.

These are all later stories, so we will not discuss them here for now.

Time flies and New Year's Eve arrives as scheduled.

During these few days, Lin Changan and his wife and Chen Pingting looked at several real estate projects, and finally Chen Pingting made the final decision, and they bought a property in a community closer to the hospital.

"The children have their own houses, so we don't have to consider the school district or anything like that for this house. We just need to build it according to our needs!"

When it comes to investing and spending money, Chen Pingting is quite smart:

"Think about it, by the time we come to City N, we will all be old and retired! Where is the most convenient place for the elderly to live? Of course, near the hospital!"

Lin Changan and his wife agreed with what he said, and finally the three of them found a property near the hospital and booked two opposite-door units in the same building.

It is worth mentioning that a small incident occurred when buying the house.

……

"Mr. Chen, actually, we can also buy a better one... such as a duplex or something..." Min Yueqi looked at the small house, feeling somewhat unacceptable.

The area of ​​this entire house is not as large as the master bedroom of her house in S City.

"You two are rich, so you can buy a duplex or a villa, but I don't have any money!" Chen Pingting spread her hands.

All the money she had earned before was turned into a house, which she gave to Lu Mingjun.

But speaking of this matter, she had to go back to Shanghai after the New Year to urge them to do something. It had been almost half a year, and the transfer procedures for those houses had not been completed yet!

Min Yueqi naturally also remembered that Chen Pingting had taken out all the coffin money. Considering that living opposite Chen Pingting could indeed reduce the burden on Lin Jianying and Lu Mingjun, she said no more.

……

Seeing that New Year's Eve was approaching, Lin Changsheng contacted Lin Changan and brought his family to City N.

In Lin Changsheng's words: "Dad is gone, wherever my eldest brother is, that's home!"

Lin Changan: "What if big brother is gone someday?"

Lin Changsheng: "Wherever my nephew is, that's home!"

Lin Changan: ...

However, since Lin Changsheng and his family of three are coming over, it would be a bit inappropriate to continue to arrange the New Year's Eve dinner in Secretary Lu's villa.

While Lin Changan asked Min Yueqi to book a private villa and arranged for people to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, he also ran to the compound three times a day.

Just as Lin Changan was waiting patiently, he finally ran into Secretary Lu, the rabbit with red eyes, on the day before New Year's Eve.

Lin Changan: Thank you for your hard work, leaders, for the people of J Province!

Secretary Lu: I’m afraid you won’t believe me, but I went to W City these days!

That’s right, Secretary Lu, the provincial party secretary, actually made a special trip to W City in order to get to the bottom of what happened that year.

Thus, Secretary Yao's casual remark that "Lawyer Lu had a difficult childhood" became fully concrete in Secretary Lu's mind.

Secretary Lu, who felt infinite pity for Lu Mingjun, immediately expressed his opinion when he heard Lin Changan's suggestion to eat out together for the New Year's Eve dinner: "Listen to your man's family!"

Lin Changan: This is so smooth that it’s a little shocking!

However, Lin Changan, who had gotten the advantage, left a sentence "I'll let Jianying pick you up tomorrow" and immediately left.

That was not even a second of time to regret, and Secretary Lu didn't even have time to spare.

Secretary Lu just nodded, agreeing to Lin Changan's plan, and then sat down opposite Chen Pingting who was roasting oranges.

Although Chen Pingting didn't even look at Secretary Lu, she still picked up the tea that was boiling on the stove, scalded a new cup, poured a cup of hot tea, and handed it to Secretary Lu.

"Go ahead!" Chen Pingting continued peeling the roasted orange in her hand.

But Chinese medicine says that as long as the fruit is cooked, no matter whether it is cooked or roasted, it is better for the body than eating it cold!

Secretary Lu looked at Chen Pingting who was throwing oranges into her mouth with a stern face, and asked in a low voice: "Where is Mingjun girl?"

"He went out. He said he had an appointment with his colleagues from the institute to go shopping."

When Secretary Lu heard this, the anger in his eyes burst out without any reservation: "A few days ago, I went to W City!"

"Revisiting the old place? That's great!" Chen Pingting's face was still calm.

"Do you have a heart?" Secretary Lu finally asked, "Do you have a husband and children in your heart?"

After Secretary Lu calmly asked the above question, Chen Pingting's hand, which was stuffing oranges into her mouth, paused for a moment.

No heart? How could she be heartless! But, at that time, wasn't it the best choice for Lu Weimin to go back to the Magic City with her?

"How do you know that I don't have my husband and children in my heart?" Chen Pingting raised her head and looked directly into Secretary Lu's eyes:

"I don't have a heart? Why don't you say it? You and Lu Weimin are the ones who don't have a heart. You two are just seeking fame and reputation. You don't even think about your wife and children!"

"You... you are a person who only thinks about business and profit, but you were able to sneak into the army at that time. It's really ridiculous!"

Secretary Lu was hurt by Chen Pingting's words "seeking fame and reputation", and he accused her bluntly:

"We care about everyone, so we will naturally sacrifice our own family when necessary... Others don't understand these things, but as a military wife who came out of the army, don't you understand them either?"

After hearing what Secretary Lu said, Chen Pingting simply put down what she was holding and snorted, "I'm an arts soldier who can sing and dance. Why can't I join the army?"

"As for the bullshit tune of 'sacrificing my own family for the sake of everyone else', I can't accept it! I've told Lu Weimin several times that no means no!"

Chen Pingting ignored Secretary Lu's increasingly cold face, her eyes full of contempt and ridicule.

"I took a step back at the beginning. I told him that we can serve the people wherever we go! The population of Magic City is larger than that of W City. If we go to Magic City, can't we serve more people?"

"Since he didn't listen to me, it means he doesn't love me that much... Zhou Qinfang, that idiot, jumped on him, and he couldn't even push her away... I choose to divorce and go home, is there any problem?"

Secretary Lu sneered when he heard this: "Why didn't you tell me that your parents wrote you a letter at that time, saying that if you didn't go back, you wouldn't have a share of the Chen family's assets!"
