Chapter 1782: Isn't This Exactly a Win-Win Situation?

Since Father Fu had spoken, everyone sprang into action.

Fu Yan Cheng went to contact his comrade-in-arms, while Fu Yanming prepared to find time tomorrow noon to buy train tickets for the day after tomorrow to Tianjin; however, it was agreed that he would accompany Father Fu and Mother Fu, so he only needed to buy tickets for the three of them.

After all, it wasn't far from Tianjin, and the day after tomorrow was the weekend; if they couldn't make it back in time, they could always take leave on Monday.

When Fu Yan Cheng called back, they had also served the dishes at the table: "Mom, Dad, don't worry. My comrade said they will investigate tomorrow."

At the dinner table, Mother Fu thought of Xiao Wan, who was still pregnant: "How are you? Are you alright?"

Fu Yanwan shook her head: "I'm fine, but we have to rush back soon. Guoqing is still at someone else's house, and I'm not at ease."

Hearing his sister's words, Fu Yan Cheng said: "I'll drive you back later."

Mother Fu had something on her mind and was somewhat distracted while eating.

Father Fu, seeing her state, said: "Enough. Third Brother is a grown man. Even if something really happens, it's his own fault for not living a good life; now look at him."

After the meal, Fu Yan Cheng went to see off his sister and brother-in-law, while several sisters-in-law washed dishes in the kitchen. Hao Yanhong spoke first: "What do you think? If Third Brother insists on not moving in as a son-in-law, will Mom and Dad pay to buy him a house?"

Guo Wenjing and Liu Chuxue said nothing.

They knew that even if they really helped Third Brother buy a house, the in-laws wouldn't do it secretly, so they truly weren't worried.

Besides, this matter wasn't necessarily what it seemed.

When Fu Yan Cheng returned, Liu Chuxue and the others had already finished tidying up.

The families chatted for a few moments, but since everyone had work or school the next day, they didn't stay long.

On the way back, Fu Yan Cheng looked at Liu Chuxue: "Wife, how much money do you still have on hand?"

Liu Chuxue was somewhat puzzled: "Do you need money?"

Fu Yan Cheng shook his head: "I was thinking the house at Shichahai is still a bit far from your school, and Liu Xiaoyuan is close but too small to live in. The newly purchased house needs renovation before anyone can move in, and that won't be possible in the short term.

Earlier, when my comrade called, he mentioned offhand that his wife's aunt's family has a house they want to sell and asked me to help ask around to see who wants to buy a house.

I asked about the location; it's right near Peking University, and the courtyard isn't small either. There are five main rooms, with side rooms on both east and west sides. There's also an empty plot at the back they use for growing vegetables, and they built their own toilet in the backyard, so there's no need to run out and crowd into public restrooms. I just received my reward for a mission a few days ago, over a thousand yuan. If you have enough money on hand, let's buy that house. That way, you won't have to work so hard."

The car turned a corner, and he continued: "Before this, I had been asking people to look around, but nothing was quite satisfactory, so I didn't mention it to you."

Today, when my comrade Zhang Xiangyang told me about the courtyard's situation, I immediately took a liking to it.

Liu Chuxue turned to look at him: "You're not afraid that Third Brother might ask us for a loan if he buys a house in Jin City, so you're trying to strike first, are you?"

Fu Yan Cheng's eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles: "If you insist on thinking that way, I won't object."

Liu Chuxue laughed outright: "You are truly too scheming."

Seeing her laugh happily, Fu Yan Cheng's smile grew even broader: "It really was a coincidence. Today I called Zhang Xiangyang to ask him to investigate the woman who has been harassing Third Brother, and unexpectedly, he happened to have something to ask me too—this matter about the house.

I thought, isn't this exactly a situation where both sides benefit?

Your commute to school will be convenient, and if Third Brother really asks to borrow money, we'll have just bought a house and truly won't have the funds, so we'd have no choice anyway."

Dear readers, let me greet everyone. For the time being, I guarantee daily updates without interruption for this book. I need to finish the previous book first, as I'm afraid that if I wait too long, I'll forget the earlier content myself. I aim to finish by the end of this month, or at the latest, the first ten days of next month. Please understand, and thank you all for your companionship and support along the way.
