the focus of public scrutiny and reducing the animosity directed towards her. It would also alleviate the worries of her parents, who would become even more doting on her, ensuring that she receives r...Ripples nodded after hearing this, without startling the three children. She let her second son follow her into the inner room and then asked:

"Chǎizi, what's up"

"Mom, there's been talk at work these past few days that they're going to build a new building."

Song Qingchuan set the ball rolling, and Lian Yi understood immediately. He followed Song's lead and said:

"But there are too many monks and not enough porridge. You've only been in the unit for five years, so you don't meet the requirements for applying for housing."

"Yes, but the staff member in charge of logistics gave me a heads-up. They're planning to build a new residential building for staff, five stories with two units per floor, ranging in size. Only unit leaders will be able to apply. However, there will be some remaining units left over since not all unit leaders will need them. These leftover units will be offered to employees, but it will cost money."

Song Qingchuan lowered his voice and uttered this piece of insider information.

"Is the message accurate"

"Accurate, my middle school classmate told me the news, we're pretty close. He just said to get ready and if I want a house, start saving money now."

Song Dachuan scratched his head and said.

So, what do you think Want to buy it

"Mom, I think there will be more houses in the future, but by the time I'm eligible to apply, who knows when that will be. Juan's workplace is a clean government agency, so it's unlikely they'll distribute houses anytime soon. So I don't want to miss this opportunity."

Of course, Mom, don't worry. Me and Juanzi have saved some money too, just in case it's not enough, we want to borrow some from Mom.

Once the house is divided, I can try to persuade my mother-in-law to help with the children, so you can have a lighter workload. You can then focus your main energy on taking care of Big Treasure and Qinghai.

Now Qingmei is a young woman, she should have her own house. I know you are planning to leave your elder brother's house for Dabao, so it wouldn't be appropriate for Qingmei to live there now.

When Lian Yi heard Song Qingchuan's words, she knew this was all her son had thought deeply about. She had also said before that if the family needed money urgently, she would use the bank savings. She just didn't expect to lend it to her second son so soon.

I reckon the Song family was in turmoil back then. The eldest brother and mother were both gone, so Song Qinchuan naturally became the head of the household. He had a younger sister and brother, and there was also a newborn baby. Even if they had some savings, I doubt they would have considered buying a house.

But now that she's here, having torn a piece of flesh from the Chen family responsible for the accident, with money as backing, Song Qingchuan doesn't want to miss this opportunity.

"Your idea is good, Mom doesn't object, and Mom can lend you the money too. But this isn't urgent right now, after all, nothing about building a house has been officially announced, and there's no final decision on the matter of the dried department building."

"When the houses are finished and Dry Department sells them, that's when you make your move. Just for now, keep your ears open and listen carefully to what people are saying in the unit. One of those rumors will be true."

"Mom is right, you can rest assured. I have this under control. I won't make a big deal out of it until it's done."

"Take advantage of this opportunity when you're buying a house and spend some money at home. This way, you won't have people coming to borrow money. Anyway, whether they borrow or not is not suitable. Your family is currently in mourning, so respectable families will naturally not come visiting. After your elder brother's mourning period is over, you can see for yourself."

Liàn Yī shook her head helplessly.

"Oh! We're not poor yet, our family is doing alright. At least we have the jobs Dad left us. There are many families in this alley who can't even afford to eat."

Song Qingchuan also shook his head and sighed.

“You are right about that. The machinery factory is the biggest employer in town, and with your dad saving the public finances, we're doing okay for now. But we also need to plan ahead. How's your job at the repair shop going”

Then, changing the subject, she asked about her son's job.

"Mom, when it comes to learning technical skills, my son is definitely capable. He's basically graduated now."

Song Qingchuan still has that confidence.

"Have you learned all your master's skills"

"About 80%!"

"This isn't truly becoming a master yet. You need to learn everything perfectly before you can truly say you've mastered it."

Liàn yī whiten Song Qìngchuān with a glance, but she could also understand, after all, in this era, it is the age where disciples starve their masters to death.

So many masters like to keep some skills secret when they take on apprentices, and also expect their apprentices to show them respect. They wait until they retire before selecting the most favored apprentice from among them and teaching them their final secrets.

"Mom, I know I'm usually filial to my master, but he hasn't retired yet, so he's still holding back."

"He won't teach you, you won't learn on your own, will you Take advantage of this weekend off and take Juan to the city for a trip. See if you can buy two books on mechanical repair. Come back and study them yourself first."

By the way, let's also give Juan a chance to breathe. She's been glued to the kids all day and can't even leave the courtyard. You don't even care about your own daughter-in-law anymore.

The ripples glared at her son and said.

"Hee hee! Mom's right, I listen to you."

Song Qingchuan scratched his head and smiled foolishly, agreeing immediately. He took two steps out of the house and went to find his wife.

When Li Juan saw her husband enter the door with a face full of joy, she playfully said:

"Since you're a father now, how come you're still so rough around the edges What good news do you have"

“I just told Mom about buying a house, and she didn't object. She even said that if we don't have enough money, she'll lend us some. She also asked me to take you out for a stroll in the city this weekend.”

Song Qingchuan said with a smile.

"Mom, really"

Li Juan questioned, after all, in her impression, her mother-in-law was very sharp-tongued and quite tight with money.

"What else could be fake I guess it's Big Brother's doing. He made Mom realize how important we are. Now that Big Brother is gone, taking care of her falls on us."

Song Qingchuan said with a hint of dejection, "Before, there was an elder brother who sheltered and protected me. I only needed to take care of my own small family. Now that the elder brother is gone, I naturally have to shoulder the responsibilities that belong to me."

"Look at what you're saying, even if your older brother was here, you'd still have to pay for his mother's living expenses when she got old. Nothing really changes, it's just that there's one less person helping out with her care."

Li Juan seemed to take it in stride. At the very least, her mother-in-law had money of her own and didn't try to squeeze her children. After her eldest brother's accident, life at home remained largely unchanged except for the absence of two people. Just this alone showed that Li Juan's mother-in-law was a capable woman.

"Your wife is right, this time Mom especially told me to take you out for a walk and let you not always revolve around the children."

"Well then, that's good. After I came back from my maternity leave, I haven't gone out."

Li Juan smiled, although her child was well-behaved and her mother-in-law hadn't given her the cold shoulder because she had given birth to a daughter, she still felt suffocated. She was happy to be able to go for a walk.

"Okay, I'll tell my master that there's no need to specially adjust to a weekend break. How about the day after tomorrow"

"Good job! I've been collecting some milk for our little Beibei these past two days, so she won't go hungry."

"Can it be done"

"Now the weather is cool in the morning and evening, just put it in the well and freeze it."

Both husband and wife were in high spirits. Song Qinghai, who had finished his homework, went to Lianyi's room and told her about what happened at school today. dagger instead.A greedy gleam flashed in Liang Gang's eyes as he grasped the dagger. This was a divine weapon, and now that it was in his hand, it meant he could control it. Without hesitation, he im...
