Chapter 226: Chapter 226: What to do When Suddenly Not Wanting to Work Hard?
Wen Yun couldn’t swallow this resentment. She believed that what should belong to their family should belong to their family, and it should all be left to their daughter in the future.
Fortunately, Tong Yaohui did not hold the outdated notion of favoring sons over daughters, and he stood by her side. Hence, the two siblings of the Tong family still saw that Tong Yaohui had some power and did not dare to be too presumptuous.
However, dragging this issue on was not a solution. She needed to discuss it with Tong Yaohui and make sure that they sell the house as soon as possible, or according to the current market price, cash out their share. They could use this money to buy a house for their daughter and son-in-law.
The changes in Kyoto over the years had been significant, and the property prices were rising with the tide. Si Chen’s family certainly couldn’t help much, so they had to help out to prevent the young couple from having a tough life in the future.
Tong Yao didn’t have much to do with her uncle and aunt on a daily basis, and she didn’t have a deep impression of them, but she knew that both her uncle and aunt didn’t particularly like her. Since her grandfather’s will stated that her father had a share in the house, they had to claim it and not let others bully them.
Thinking about this, Tong Yao cuddled up to Wen Yun coquettishly and said, "Mom, you and dad have to be firm in front of uncle and aunt. Whether I can live comfortably in the future depends entirely on you and dad."
"You, this child." Wen Yun was amused by Tong Yao and affectionately tapped her forehead.
When it was almost half past eight and the bus service was about to end, fearing that it would delay Si Chen’s work the next day, Wen Yun did not dare to keep them any longer. She had Tong Yao take the autumn clothes she had packed for her. Most of these clothes were still new and were several times better than what Tong Yao bought in Li City.
The couple sent their daughter and son-in-law to the entrance of the residential area. Wen Yun reluctantly reminded them, "Yaoyao, Xiaochen is busy with work and can’t always come back often, you should come back regularly when you have time. If you want anything or need anything, just call home and I’ll make it for you."
Tong Yaohui interrupted with a straight face, "That’s enough, let the child go back and rest early! Don’t nag, they live close now, you can visit the child whenever you want."
Knowing that Tong Yaohui did not like to express his feelings openly, Tong Yao chuckled and said, "Dad, you should come with mom then."
Hearing this, Tong Yaohui’s expression immediately softened, and he said with a touch of affection, "Alright, you two should hurry up and go!"
"Dad, mom, we’re leaving."
Si Chen quietly greeted his in-laws, holding the bundle packed by Wen Yun in one hand while holding Tong Yao’s hand with the other as they left.
It was only when the young couple’s figure was out of sight that Wen Yun reluctantly went home with Tong Yaohui. Even though she had heard on the phone that her daughter was doing well, she was always worried until she saw her for herself. Now that she saw her daughter was indeed doing well, she finally felt reassured.
Seeing his wife looking back every three steps, Tong Yaohui said, "Now that you see Yaoyao is doing well, you can rest assured. You won’t have to nag me every day about marrying our daughter off so far away, right?"
Even though she knew Tong Yaohui had made the right decision, Wen Yun couldn’t stand to see Tong Yaohui looking so pleased with himself, and she gave him a glare, saying, "Yaoyao has grown up a lot and is now earning a living. It must be because she has suffered a lot."
"What’s wrong with suffering a little at a young age?" Tong Yaohui said righteously, "If you don’t suffer now, you will suffer when you get old."
"As parents, we should help them as much as we can and let our child suffer less." Wen Yun seized the opportunity to bring up the matter of the Tong family’s ancestral home, "Dad left the house, and your sister has been living in it for several years. She initially said she would live for two or three years, and now it’s been several sets of two and three years. If they don’t move out to live, they should give us money according to the current house price. Yaoyao and Xiaochen are married now, and we can’t have them not have a place to live when they have children."
Tong Yaohui exhaled deeply with a furrowed brow, "Let’s wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival, then we can discuss this with my older brother."
Wen Yun insisted firmly, "We can’t delay this matter any longer, it must be resolved after the Mid-Autumn Festival. If we don’t take advantage of our youth, and you still have some deterrent power in front of your older brother and sister, they might want to grab our share in a few years. By then, Yaoyao would get nothing."
She didn’t want to see the faces of her brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law at all. Since the old man passed away, their three families had minimal contact, and Wen Yun didn’t want to interact with them.
Every time they met, they would openly or covertly look down on Tong Yao for being a girl, which Wen Yun couldn’t accept.
What’s wrong with having a daughter?
Isn’t the daughter their own flesh and blood?
"The will is written clearly in black and white, they can’t deny it. But this matter needs to be addressed as soon as possible. We cannot let our grandson be born in staff housing." Whenever he thought of his future grandchild calling him grandfather, Tong Yaohui felt that postponing the issue until after the Mid-Autumn Festival was a bit late.
They must sort out the matter of the house as soon as possible.
The economy in Kyoto has changed a lot in recent years, and if they rely on the young couple to buy a house, who knows how many years they would have to struggle for. They must provide some assistance.

At this point, Tong Yao, who had just managed to catch the bus with Si Chen, did not know that her parents were already planning to buy them a house. There were not many people on the bus that night, and the two of them sat in the last row. She quietly told Si Chen about the ten thousand yuan Wen Yun gave her.
She playfully said, "I was thinking of borrowing just two or three thousand yuan, but who knew that mom would give ten thousand yuan once she made a move? I was shocked. It’s only now that I realize my parents are so wealthy. Aside from our current residence, my maternal grandmother also left my mom a Siheyuan, and my grandfather’s house also has our share. Now that I think about it, I’m a rich second generation too!"
Even if she is not a rich second generation, she could at least become a demolition second generation in the future.
The Siheyuan in Kyoto would be worth over a hundred million by the 21st century. Tong Yao felt that she was going to be very wealthy in the future. She was suddenly rising in value.
What if she suddenly doesn’t want to work hard anymore?
"You just figured that out now?" Si Chen said with a suppressed laugh, "The house your parents live in is already worth half a million in Kyoto."
Because Tong Yao had a good upbringing, everyone called her a gold phoenix. However, the people in the village didn’t know that the Tong family was doing this well. They only knew that Tong Yao was a daughter-in-law who had married in from the big city.
Since Tong Yao had not suffered from a young age, Si Chen didn’t want Tong Yao to suffer. Si Chen only wanted Tong Yao to retain her innocence and never experience hard times. n𝚘𝚟𝚙u𝚋.co𝚖
He hoped that the time she spent in his family and in Qing City would be the hardest days of her life. In the future, they should only have good days and never have to suffer again.
