Chapter 482: Chapter 482: Windfall
"Two, two, twenty thousand?" Yi Shunyin stuttered, shocked.
"The three of you brothers and Roujing, each gets twenty thousand?" Liu Huilan was surprised at this. Having witnessed Yi Roujing sell a single piece for three thousand in Jing City, she wasn’t surprised that it could be sold for twenty thousand. But with four children, each with twenty thousand, that’s eighty thousand just for their family. This business is a collaboration with two other families, so just imagine how much money that is.
"What about Ancheng, did you ask him? We’re doing this business under the Xu Family name, otherwise, which family in Jing City would pay attention to us or sell medicine to us?" Liu Huilan said.
"My brother-in-law knows about this." Tonight, while chatting with Xu Ancheng, Yi Weiliang mentioned the remittance slip. "Brother-in-law said, whatever Roujing says goes."
The room full of people felt a bit envious, influenced by the display of affection, even if recounted through a third person.
"Little sister-in-law and brother-in-law have truly good feelings for each other." Weng Hefeng said, clicking her tongue, and she didn’t forget to glance at her own man. This is a lot of money; who would readily allow their daughter-in-law to send it back to her family?
"We just provided a single prescription, and we can earn this much money?" Pan Kexia was stunned for a while before coming back to her senses.
"They’re giving the majority to our family because we have four people, each getting a share." Yi Weiliang explained, "But they also consider the Xu Family, otherwise how could they give us such a good deal."
"Indeed, we should give something good to brother-in-law’s family." Pan Kexia instinctively replied.
"Yes, that’s how it should be," Xie Chenyan echoed.
Weng Hefeng glanced at her second sister-in-law and then turned to Xie Chenyan. This third sister-in-law seems calculating, but she can tell that the younger brother’s family is really guided by him, especially since Xie Chenyan recovered from illness upon returning from Jing City.
If it were her, she would do the same, Weng Hefeng thought, thankful to have married into the Yi Family. Who would send their daughter-in-law to the capital for treatment?
"Initially, it was agreed. You just keep this money for yourselves." Liu Huilan, after seeing each remittance slip, handed them over to her three sons. "You all have more knowledge now than us older ones."
"Dad, Mom, I have thought about it, and I want to use part of my share to buy a house in Jing City," Yi Weiliang shared his plans.
"Didn’t you already buy one?" Liu Huilan was a little puzzled. Previously, when they went to Jing City to get treatment for Xie Chenyan, after selling the An Gong Life-saving Pills, they bought a place, which is now rented out. Yi Roujing would send them remittance slips from time to time.
"Mom, the policy is different now, you’ll see. In the future, buying and selling houses will surely become routine. Today, I talked to brother-in-law quite a bit. Hong Kong has long been developing real estate, like building community houses similar to Baiqian Village, to supply civilians for buying and leasing." Yi Weiliang explained.
"Brother-in-law is also planning to do business in this area, so he knows better. I mentioned wanting to buy a house in Jing City, and both my sister and brother-in-law agreed. Even if we don’t live there ourselves, it can be rented out; even if not rented, it can be kept as it will appreciate in value in the future. Those are brother-in-law’s words." Yi Weiliang said.
"Moreover, if we actually move to Jing City in the future, and the children grow up, needing to marry, one house won’t be enough to live in. It’s better to buy more."
Yi Weiliang’s words stirred Yi Weimin and Yi Weijun’s thoughts, "We’ll do the same as younger brother, first buy a house, and save the remaining money."
Yi Weijun, like Yi Weiliang, is in the transportation team, so he knew Yi Weiliang’s thinking. "Weiliang is ambitious. He says that when we have the means in the future, we can start our own transportation team. I’ll save the remaining money to work together with brothers."
"Yeah, count me in too," Yi Weimin echoed, "Even if I don’t go personally, I’ll contribute financially."
Yi Weimin is doing very well at the power plant, and business there is getting better. Now he wants to learn more, and learn deeply. Although not young, the department head hinted to him a few days ago that there’s a vacancy for a team leader, and he’s most likely to get it.
"Alright." Yi Weijun and Yi Weiliang nodded in unison, agreeing.
Seeing the three brothers in such unity, Yi Shunyin and Liu Huilan felt very reassured.
Each household returned to their own rooms, and Yi Weiliang directly handed the remittance slip to Xie Chenyan to scrutinize, "Darling, I want to adopt Youning into our family."
In these years since marrying into the Yi Family, Xie Chenyan felt the warmth of a family, loved by her husband, cared for by her in-laws, and her brother Xie Chentao doing well in school. Her son, Sweet Potato, looking adorable and well-behaved. Since recovering from illness, her heart found peace, and she already liked Liu Youning.
"Alright," Xie Chenyan agreed without hesitation. She knew her husband’s life was saved by Liu Youning’s deceased father. "But do discuss it properly with Youning’s aunt and uncle."
"Mm, I know. Actually, I brought it up long ago. They’ve slowly begun to agree. It’s not adoption as a son, just as a brother," Yi Weiliang chuckled, "In the future, Sweet Potato will have an uncle and brother-in-law protecting him; what’s there to fear?"
"Darling, I’ve thought it over. When we’re really able to start our own business, I want to move to Jing City, where resources are abundant," Yi Weiliang said, scratching his head with a silly smile, "Also influenced by hearing my sister and brother-in-law often talk, children’s education, medical treatment, Jing City as the capital is surely the best."
"When houses can be bought and sold, we’ll purchase one for Chentao and Youning, and one for Sweet Potato as well, so there’ll be no worry when they marry."
Xie Chenyan found it amusing, "To hear you talk, buying houses sounds as easy as buying cabbages, although now we have money in hand, isn’t a car quite expensive?"
Yi Weiliang sighed at this, "Cars are not only expensive but also hard to buy. However, after I mentioned my plans to brother-in-law today, he said he’d help me check. Instead of buying new ones, we’ll buy used ones, some replaced by factories or military, refurbish them, swap parts, and they’ll be as good as new, importantly cheaper."
"Speaking of which, our family truly owes it all to my little sister’s fortune." Yi Weiliang remarked.
Xie Chenyan deeply agreed, "Indeed, I’ve never seen any couple as good as my sister and her husband."
"Hey, I don’t like hearing that. Aren’t we good enough? Tonight, I’ll show you," Yi Weiliang leaned in for a kiss, causing Xie Chenyan to blush.
This lively evening wasn’t limited to the Yi Family; it included the Huang Family and Feng Family. After dinner, Huang Xiaobao took Ding Anmin and Mantou to the county government staff residential area; Ding Anguo took Feng Lishu and the twins to the power plant’s employee housing.
Both families agreed to keep it secret this time, just to give their family members a surprise.
"Knock, knock."
"Who is it, at this hour?" Wan Baohua opened the door to see a cute, tender little face calling, "Grandma."
"Oh my, Lao Huang, Lao Huang, our big grandson Mantou is back." Wan Baohua was ecstatic. When Huang Xiaobao and Ding Anmin came in afterwards, she was grinning from ear to ear.
