Chapter 183: The boys don't get any, they can go out and earn their own nests

Then the old lady opened a stack of papers and looked at the characters on them, "This one is for Qinqin."

"This one is for Nan Nan."

Yun Qin and An Yinan widened their eyes; this... was a property deed.

"Grandmother, I cannot accept this, it is too valuable."

An Yinan hurriedly shook her head. A property deed, and she had seen the address on it: Mao'er Hutong.

That was one of the hutongs within Nanluoguxiang.

Nanluoguxiang starts from Gulou East Street in the north and reaches Ping'an Street in the south; to the west is Di'anmen Outer Street, and to the east is Jiaodaokou South Street. It is 787 meters long, 8 meters wide, runs north-to-south, and has 16 hutongs neatly arranged on its east and west sides, resembling a fishbone.

From south to north, the 8 hutongs on the west side are Fuxiang Hutong, Suoyi Hutong, Yu'er Hutong, Mao'er Hutong, Nanjiawazi Hutong, Shajing Hutong, Heizhima Hutong, and Qiangulouyuan Hutong.

The 8 hutongs on the east side are Chaodou Hutong, Banchang Hutong, Dongmianhua Hutong, Beibingmasi Hutong, Qinlao Hutong, Qianyu'ensi Hutong, Houyu'ensi Hutong, and Ju'er Hutong. 【Excerpted from the internet】

And Mao'er Hutong is exactly one of the eight hutongs on the west side.

In later generations, those were priceless existences.

Grandmother, however, stiffened her face, "Accept it. I saved them for you. I don't give them to the boys; they can go out and earn their own nests."

Grandmother's words were easy to understand: these things were only for the girls in the family, while the boys had to go out and earn their own houses.

"You two should accept them. It is our Yun Family's tradition that when a girl marries, her dowry must include a house. When Yun Dan married, she had one too." Yun Fei came down from upstairs, wearing his military uniform, just about to head to the Military.

"By the way, the property deed for Yun Liu is in my hands." Yun Fei remembered something and said to An Yinan, "I will have your eldest aunt give it to you in a moment."

Whatever the girls of their Yun Family had, Yun Liu would never have a cent less.

The ones the old lady kept were those that hadn't been distributed yet, while the property deeds for Yun Dan and Yun Liu had been allocated long ago. On the day Yun Dan married, it was handed to her; Yun Liu's naturally remained in her own hands, to be given away once Yun Liu or her descendants were found.

Liu Xicai patted her forehead, "It's been too many years, I forgot about this. My fault, I'll go get it right now."

The Yun Family could be said to treat everyone equally, and they were especially doting toward the girls. Since she married into the Yun Family, she had never had a cross word with her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law was not like other families who insisted on setting strict rules.

Their relationship was more like mother and daughter; they were one family.

"Keep them safe, don't give them to the boys, keep them yourselves," Grandmother instructed carefully.

An Yinan and Yun Qin hurriedly nodded, and An Yinan was even more moved, "Thank you, Grandmother."

Grandmother gently patted An Yinan on the back, "Girls should be pampered. Our family pampers our own, so others won't dare to bully them."

Nowadays, the ideology of favoring sons over daughters might not be in every household, but it could be said to be in eight out of ten.

But the Yun Family had never favored sons over daughters; the Yun Family had always upheld the principle of raising sons frugally and daughters lavishly.

Liu Xicai walked down from upstairs, holding a property deed in her hand, and walked to An Yinan's side, "After so many years, this property deed has finally returned to its rightful owner."

An Yinan looked at Grandmother, then at Liu Xicai, who was full of smiles and heartache, and solemnly took the property deed.

"Thank you, Grandmother, thank you, Eldest Aunt."

Liu Xicai pinched her little cheek, "No need to thank me, this was originally Third Sister's thing, Eldest Aunt was just helping to keep it safe."

"By the way, in our Yun Family, things are passed to daughters, not sons. You just keep this property deed yourself, no need to give it to Beibei."

An Xiangbei was reading not far away, and upon hearing Liu Xicai's words, he turned his head back, "Eldest Aunt, I wouldn't snatch my sister's things."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xicai laughed out loud, "Look at this little clever ghost."

An Yinan didn't look at the location, and solemnly put away the two property deeds.

She would prepare a house for Beibei in the future, but it would not be one of the two property deeds.

"Eldest Aunt, I would like to go visit the Chen Family in a while," An Yinan said.

The Chen Family would soon be the in-laws she married into, but they were also half of her own family. If it weren't for the help of her godmother and godfather back then, she and Beibei would not have escaped their predicament so quickly.

"I have prepared some things, you and Qinqin go together in a while," Liu Xicai said with a smile.

She had prepared the things long ago; when Yun Fei was investigating the siblings, he naturally also investigated the help from the Chen Family, as well as the ongoing relationship between the Chen Family and the siblings.

An Yinan tidied up and went to the Chen Family Dayuan with Yun Qin. They were both in the Military District Compound, it just took seven or eight minutes to walk.

Chen Jia and Chen Xun were practicing boxing in the courtyard. The two were twins, but their styles looked quite different; Chen Jia leaned more toward an artistic style, while Chen Xun leaned more toward a cold and tough one.

Seeing An Yinan and Yun Qin walking over from afar, the two quickly stopped practicing boxing and walked out.

"Why did you come over? Are you rested?" Chen Xun asked.

An Yinan nodded gently, "Came to see Grandfather and Godfather and Godmother."

Chen Jia heard the two's conversation, took Yun Qin's hand, and turned to say to An Yinan, "Our mother has been waiting for you since early this morning. She didn't see you yesterday afternoon and was worried sick."

Chen Xun was extremely helpless.

His mother loved girls. Back then, she gave birth to two sons and damaged her health, unable to conceive children again, so having a daughter became her knot in the heart.

It wasn't until she met An Yinan, and later, she didn't expect her own daughter-in-law to be the girl she wanted, which made his mother struggle for several days.

In the end, it was his father who enlightened her: marrying into their own family was better than marrying into someone else's.

Only then did his mother think it through.

Then came that phone call: the Chen Family could be without a son, but they must have a daughter! It shows how deep his mother's obsession with having a daughter was.

"Is Nan Nan here?" Sun Chunhua heard the voices outside and hurriedly walked out. Before she even saw the person, she hurriedly asked.

An Yinan smiled, her eyes curving into crescents, "Godmother."

"Oh!" Sun Chunhua pushed open the door and hurriedly hugged An Yinan tightly.

An Yinan felt Sun Chunhua's embrace; to be honest, among so many people, her godmother was the one who made her feel most like a mother.

When she was lonely and helpless at the beginning, it was her godmother who gave her warmth.

When she had just transmigrated and was at her most isolated and helpless, it was her godmother who brought her home.

Sometimes one has to say that fate is wonderful; many things that cannot be explained can all be attributed to fate.

"You've lost weight. Chen Xun, you brat, how are you taking care of Nan Nan? How did you let her get so thin from hunger?" Sun Chunhua looked fiercely at Chen Xun.

The son she liked so much yesterday seemed like he was picked up from the street today...

"Godmother, I didn't get thin from hunger, I just grew up, the baby fat went away, so I look thinner, but actually I grew taller," An Yinan said with a grin, holding Sun Chunhua's arm.

Sun Chunhua took a look; his complexion was good and his mental state was excellent, only then did she let her son go.
